(A/N: Favorite cast reaction to Hiccstrid. So not in the mood for writing but it's a challenge and I gotta do it 😑😒)

The two adult men sat down at their usual bench in Great Hall, sighing.

Stoick looked over the Vikings who were in Great Hall. It was about dinner time and people usually came to Great Hall to eat instead of eating at home. It was easier.

Since Hiccup wouldn't be home, Stoick thought that he might as well drink a beer with Gobber. The blacksmith had nothing against it and had gladly went with his best friend.

Stoick sighed and turned towards the table fully, taking a gulp of the beer. "Oh, I know that look. What is it now?" Gobbler asked, looking at Stoick.

"It's nothing. I'm excited, that's for sure at least. It's been a long day," The chief said before taking another gulp. Gobbler raised a brow. "Excited. That's rare. Tell me."

Stoick didn't hesitate and jumped straight into the conversation. "Hiccup came in today with Astrid and said that they would hang out later that night. They always hang out so I don't understand why he had to tell me. I met him once he and Astrid had separated and I asked if there finally was something between them. He agreed and told me that he and Astrid had been dating ever since she had been healed from her blindness."

"Was 'bout time," Gobber said, looking at Stoick before looking over to the door of the Great Hall.

"Oh, would you look at that.." Stoick said, a smile on his face.

Hiccup walked in with Astrid behind him, his hand holding hers. "They awfully remind me of one couple I knew years back," Gobber said, smiling and looking at Stoick.

He sighed and huffed, still looking at the two young adults as they walked through the hall to join their friends. "Those times are over, Gobber. You know I can't go back in the past and fix things. If I could, I would've but I can't. I'm happy for them. It really was about time. He's been head over heels for her since they first met," Stoick confessed, smiling and turning back towards Gobber.

"You're right about that, chief."

The two say quiet for a while before he spoke again. "What do you think they'll do in the future?"

The chief looked at his son and Astrid before looking at Gobber again. "Hopefully married. I want grandkids as soon as possible. I won't be around forever, ya know," He joked. "With Astrid's warrior skills and Hiccup's brain, they're sure gonna lead Berk like I never could've done. I don't want them to do it. I don't want Hiccup to be a chief like me."

"So, you're planning on making him chief one day?" Gobber asked, taking a gulp on his beer and turning around to look at the couple.

"Of course. As I said, I won't be around forever. And, hopefully, he'll take over. I know how much he loves exploring and he won't be able to do that when he's chief but I do want him to take over one day."

"Well, we'll see what the future holds."

(A/N: Shitty chapter, shitty life. Sorry. Just so not in the mood for writing.

I know that Stoick understands Hiccup more then he actually thinks. So, yeah. Hope you liked it even though you probs didn't 🤗 Ye, K.)
