You were pacing around your room, thinking about everything that had gone wrong earlier today.
First, Hiccup had accidentally stepped on your heel during dragon training which made you get distracted and end up getting eliminated in front of the students (he apologized profusely afterwards).
You had been late to teach the younger dragon riders and ended up only getting half the lesson done, which would set them back even farther than they already were.
But the cherry on top was Snotlout being in the way every time you needed to do something.
Every day there was the constant flirting, which was so poorly executed and poorly timed all it did was annoy you. He knew it too, he just wanted to get a rise out of you.
Then there was the fact that every time you had a moment of peace and quiet, he had to go off on some tangent about how “nobody else knows how to ride dragons like he can” and “he should be teaching his own class”. Everybody knew it wasn’t true, because nothing would ever get done if he was teaching his own class, but he believed it nonetheless.
The worst of it was when he’d kick your shins under the dining table, and then deny it was him. You weren’t sure why (or how) you ended up sitting across from him almost every meal, but I guess the fact that he showed up late to every meal and just happened to sit down across from you would account for it.
After pacing your room for what felt like hours, you finally laid down to get some sleep after a rather agitating day.
In the morning, you made your way to the mead hall to have breakfast with everyone. Fishlegs had brought along the dragon manual to study, and everybody was completely engrossed in it.
You slid onto the bench in between Astrid and Fishlegs, and they welcomed you by sliding you a plate of breakfast. You probably should have paid more attention to the seating arrangements, you realized after a few seconds.
Directly across from you was Snotlout, who was unsurprisingly causing a ruckus. Him and Tuffnut were pushing eachother across the bench and knocked into Ruffnut, which didn’t help the noise level after she shouted at them to stop.
When they finally started to eat breakfast like normal people, you were able to focus on the day ahead.
The day was going to be busy— dragon training in the morning, lunch and study sesh with the gang, fence repair in the afternoon (the sheep got out again, shocker), and then dinner at the lookout in the evening.
“So, who’s teaching the class with me this morning?” you asked the group. You had checked the schedule and Astrid was supposed to be helping you, along with some new guy, but the schedule was always changing.
“Well, there’s been a slight change of plans. I know I was supposed to help you today but I have to help Gobber with this stupid project he’s started, so we figured we’d send Snotlout with you today” Astrid said hesitantly.
You looked her dead in the eyes with an “are you serious right now” glare, and all she could do was shoot you an apologetic smile.
“I’ll be on my best behaviour, I promise” Snotlout chimed in with a smile, taking a quick pause from his extremely messy eating.
“You better be” you replied.
After everybody had cleaned up their breakfast, you all made your way out of the hall and off to your morning routines.
——————————————————————
The arena was full of younger dragon riders, all eager to learn the new skills you had planned to teach them.
The new trainer, some guy whose name you didn’t know yet, was there and greeted you with a smile. You smiled back but didn’t have time to chat. Not that you cared for small talk anyways, you were there to teach.
You anxiously checked the time, and everyone except for one person was at the lesson on time.
“Great way to start the lesson” you mentioned when Snotlout finally showed up, late.
He gave you an apologetic smile but that didn’t make up for the fact that you had lost 10 minutes of valuable teaching time.
You got over it quickly though, because your mind became preoccupied with just how incompetent these younger dragon riders were.
One of them couldn’t even get his dragon to sit still for more than 5 seconds, so for the majority of the class time there was no hope of him learning the new flying skills you had planned for the day.
The other dragon trainer, whose name you now heard from one of the kids was Leif, managed to get the kid onto his dragon after 15 minutes of him trying on his own. Thank Odin.
The rest of the lesson went smoothly, and soon enough it was time to clean up.
You walked over the Leif and gave him a pat on the shoulder.
“Thanks for your help, I’m not sure what that lesson would’ve looked like if you hadn’t got that kid on his dragon” you said.
“No problem, anytime” he replied with a smile.
You turned to leave the arena, and you saw Snotlout standing with Hookfang, looking…upset?
“Jeez, who pissed in his drink this morning?” you thought to yourself as you walked out of the arena.
The rest of the day went by quicker than you anticipated. Lunch + study sesh with everyone was the same as usual, except for the fact that Snotlout was nowhere to be seen.
You chalked it up to him not wanting to study and skipping out again. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Fixing the fence was a pain, especially since the twins (who were the only other people assigned to help) were absolutely useless. They so much time fighting about who would fix it better, that neither of them actually helped fix ANY of it.
You were so thankful that dinner came as soon as it did. You strolled up to the lookout where everyone had planned to meet up for dinner.
You and Snotlout just happened to be the first people there.
“I see you’re actually early for something for once” you half-joked.
He didn’t say anything back, which surprised you. Normally he would take a jab at you any chance he got, but not today.
“I guess skipping out on the study sesh earlier really must have given you some time to get here early” you tried again.
Still, nothing.
You sat silently for what felt like hours (it was literally 5 minutes), before the rest of the crew showed up. Fishlegs was the first to arrive, and he immediately noticed Snotlout’s quiet demeanour. He was not going to be the one to complain though, he was going to enjoy the peace and quiet for as long as it lasted…
It lasted a total of 15 seconds before the twins showed up and started talking loudly about everything they did (or didn’t) do that day, which included NOT helping you fix the fence (you were still bitter about it).
Once everyone else had arrived, everyone began eating and chatting. Not Snotlout though, he was quiet. None of the usual kicking your shin or pushing Tuffnut off the end of the bench. Just…eating silently.
You wondered what had brought on this sudden change of character, but you were soon preoccupied with the group conversation.
Dinner went by quickly, and you were thankful for it. All you could think about was how badly you wanted to be back in your bed. You had hoped that after a nights rest, tomorrow’s dragon training lesson would go better.
You usually stayed behind to clean up, as it gave you something to do to wind down from the day before you went home.
Everyone else made their way down from the lookout and started to head home, thanking you as they left.
But one person had stayed behind.
“So you and Mr. Dragon Trainer must be pretty close then, huh?” Snotlout asked suddenly.
You turned around with a confused look and didn’t know how to respond.
“I saw you two at the end of the lesson today, you seemed like you REALLY enjoyed his company” he said.
“I was thanking him for getting that kid on his dragon, that’s all. Plus, why do you even care?” you responded. “It’s not like you offered up a helping hand much today” you added before scooping up the rest of the leftover food and tossing it to the dragons that were lying below the lookout.
“Well I would have if I had a chance to, but you seemed to busy with good ol’ Mr. Dragon Trainer to notice if I did” he said.
“Why does it matter if I notice? You’re there to teach a class Snotlout, not show off” you replied, sitting down on the bench across from him.
“Why do you think I even took up teaching that class? I knew he was going to be there, but do you really think I enjoy teaching a class with that guy? No I certainly don’t” he retorted.
“What are you getting at, Snotlout?” You were completely lost about where this conversation was going.
“I took up teaching that class because I would get to teach with you” he blurted out. He immediately looked like he regretted it, and looked down at the floor.
“What do you mean you wanted to teach with me? You treat me like you can’t even stand me half the time. You’re constantly trying to annoy me and get me to be frustrated with you, why would you want to spend MORE time with me?” you asked, sincerely confused.
“You ever think about the fact that maybe I don’t want to annoy you? Maybe I just wanted the attention that came from it?” he asked softly, still looking at the ground.
“What- huh?” you stammered, trying to compose your thoughts.
“You really thought I wanted to annoy you because, what, I disliked you? No, I wanted you to notice me.” he said.
You took a moment to process what was happening; the man who had spent the past who-knows-how-long pestering you, teasing you, and picking fights with you, wanted you to…notice him?
“I didn’t think that being nice would make you notice me. I thought I’d just seem like every other guy in the village. Which apparently seems to be your type, seeing as you were buddying it up with Leif earlier…” he mumbled at the end.
“Please for the love of Thor, enough about Leif! I don’t care about him. In fact, he didn’t even know his name until today. That should show you just how little he matters to me” you responded, slightly irritated.
“Sorry. I just..I don’t know. Seeing you with him today, touching his shoulder, I got jealous. I wanted you to notice me but you were too busy with him” he admitted.
You almost couldn’t believe the words you were hearing.
He finally looked up from the ground, and took a deep breath.
“I guess I’m too far into this now not to get it all out, so I might as well just tell you. I’ve been into you for a long time, Y/N” he said, while scratching the back of his neck nervously.
“I took the shift today because I wanted to finally show you how I really am, that i’m not just some obnoxious guy and I actually know what i’m doing. This is obviously not how I planned for the day to go, but here we are” he said.
“I just didn’t know how to tell you or show you how I felt. I don’t like annoying you, I just thought it was the only way I’d get your attention. I’m sorry, I didn’t want you to think it was because I disliked you” he said sadly.
You looked at him for a moment before getting up to go sit next to him.
You didn’t touch him, you just sat silently next to him and listened.
“I want to show you that I’m a good guy, and—“ you cut him off.
“Look. Now that I know all of this, there’s some things I need to say too” you started.
“You didn’t have to do all of…that to get me to notice you. I really liked being around you, but you just made it so difficult and I thought you didn’t like me.” you said.
“You know, I was into you for a while too…it started around a year ago” you admitted quietly after a moment of silence.
He looked surprised.
“I just couldn’t bring myself to sacrifice my focus on teaching for some feelings that I was pretty sure weren’t going to be reciprocated. So, I started to ignore you, and then you started to do…whatever all that was to get my attention” you looked at the ground as you said it.
“You should’ve just told me” he said.
You looked at him for a moment, analyzing his face to see whether he was being sincere or not.
“I’m serious. I wouldn’t have made fun of you. Gods, I was already crushing on you back then. I would’ve been ecstatic if you just told me” he said with a smile.
“Look, I feel like some apologies are in order. I’ve been an asshole. I shouldn’t have tried to get your attention the way I did, and I really shouldn’t have gotten so jealous today. I’m sorry, Y/N” he said, turning his body to fully face you.
You took a moment to appreciate the apology before answering.
“I shouldn’t have treated you the way I did either. I just shut you out instead of dealing with my feelings and I just made everything worse” you said.
You both sat silently for a moment, trying to process everything that had been said in the last few minutes. Everything was going to change now.
“Can we…start over? I want to show you who I really am, not just some obnoxious guy who can’t flirt to save his life” Snotlout said.
“Yeah, I think I’d like that actually” you responded. “But can we skip the part where we pretend we don’t have feelings for eachother? I mean, now that’s it’s all out in the open anyways…” you asked.
“Yes, please” he said with a smile.
You smiled back and inched closer to him on the bench. You gave him a very light smack on the arm.
“That’s for all the times you tried to get on my nerves” you joked.
You quickly leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
“That’s for everything after”
