It's Not Your Fault

Part 2

For hiromysuperhero

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You woke up in a strange room, next to an auburn haired boy. He looked familiar, but you didn't recognize him. You played with his hair for a while, hoping to remember, and when that didn't work you got up and looked around. Everything seemed familiar, but you couldn't remember anything. Not even your name.

You walked around a village, trying to remember even just a glimpse, but to no avail. "Ugh!" you sighed, aggravated.

The sun was starting to come up and heard someone shouting "(Y/ N)!" repeatedly, but paid it no mind. The name sounded familiar, but again, you didn't know why. You continued to walk around, going no where in particular.

Suddenly a dragon jumped in front of you eagerly. You stepped back and it stepped forward. This pattern continued until your back hit a wall.

You did the first thing you thought of.

You opened your mouth, taking a large breath of air.

"AHHH! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"(Y/ N)!" you heard again, this time a lot closer. Less than a minute later two more dragons landed behind the first one. Two people hopped off and walked up to you.

"(Y/ N), are you okay?" the boy asked, cautiously, reaching his arm out for you.

"Your the boy who was sleeping beside me when I woke up!"

"Uh, yes, that was me," he said, confused.

"W- w- who are you?" You asked, shaking with fear. The boy's face fell, along with his arm. "W- who am I? W- where am I? What is going on? Why can't I remember anything?"

You were answered with silence.

"TELL ME!" you demanded, trying to sound threatening but ended up sounding helpless. Fearful.

The boy took a step forward and you fell to the ground, pulling your knees to your chest and hiding your wet eyes on your knees as sobs began to shake your frame.

Two strong, familiar arms wrapped around you, pulling you close. "Shh, calm down, love. Everything will be fine. Just relax." The action made you fell safe, which relaxed you for a moment before you panicked at not being able to know who the boy was and why he called you "love".

"AHHH!" you screamed, trying to fight your way out of his arms. But he wasn't having that.

"(Y/ N), stop!" he demanded, tightening his hold on you so you could barely move. You suddenly realized that allowing him to put his arms around you while you were hugging your knees to your chest was a bad idea. It simply made it easier for him keep you with him.

"Please, don't hurt me!" you cried, giving up on fighting him. He was clearly stronger than you. "I'm sorry! I won't do it again!"

His grip loosened, shocked, but you didn't move. He tightened his grip slightly and picked you up bridal style. "I'm not going to hurt you," he promised. "I'm going to take you to the room you woke up in and I'm going to explain as much as I can, okay?"

"O- o- okay."

"Astrid, can you go get Gobber please?" the boy asked.

The blond girl, Astrid, nodded before getting on the blue dragon and flying off.

The boy holding you carefully climbed on a black dragon with half a bright red tail. The boy positioned you so you were behind him, telling you to hold on to him if you didn't want to fall off. You nodded and wrapped your arms around his torso.

"(D/N)," the boy called. The dragon that backed you to the wall stared at him. "Come. Toothless, let's go, bud." The black dragon suddenly went into the air, making you squeal and hide your face in the boy's back. The boy chuckled. You liked being near the boy for some unknown reason. This feeling made you cautious.

It was only a minute until the dragon landed in front of a house. The boy helped you off, refusing to release your hand, and led you up some stairs and to the room you woke up in.

"Lay down," he commanded, pointing to the bed you woke up on. When you took a step back he pulled you towards him and picked you up like he had done earlier and set you on the bed, your back against the headboard. "You need your rest. Your not supposed to be out of bed," he explained. He sat in the chair next to the bed. "Now, what questions do you have?"

"Who am I?"

"You are (Y/N). Most people call you (N/N). I use to call you... other things."

"Like what?"

He avoided your gaze, but you still saw the tears. "That doesn't matter at the moment."

"Well, I wanna know," you persisted.

He chuckled and slowly shook his head side to side, "Still the same (Y/ N)."

"Are you gonna tell me? Or will I have to ask that blond girl you call Astrid? Or the person you call Gobber?"

"No! I'll tell you. I use to call you (Y/N), love, mi'lady, or beautiful girl."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because...?"

"It doesn't matter!" he snapped, two tears falling out of his eyes. The glare he made towards you vanished a moment later once he realized what he had done. "Oh my, (Y/ N), I'm so sorry!" he said, almost like he was begging, instinctively reaching an arm out for you.

You turned so your back faced him and remained silent as he begged you to forgive him.

"Please! I'll do anything! Just please forgive me!"

"Fine, then tell me why you called me those things."

"Because I love you. We're dating. Well, we don't have to now if you don't want to- but we were."

"I don't remember who you are, boy."

He laughed once, humorless. "My name is Hiccup. And I am- or use to be- your boyfriend." You nodded. "Good," he sighed. "Now, my turn for a question. What do you remember?"

"Not much," you admitted, sheepishly, hiding your face with your hair.

Suddenly, he placed you hair behind your ear. "I want to see your beautiful face, love- I mean, uh... uh, I got nothing," he admitted, blushing. "Sorry. Force of habit. I use to always complimenting such a beautiful girl," he smiled softly, placing a lock of your hair behind your ear.

You giggled, covering you mouth with your hand. "Your cute. I like you."

"I'm glad," he smiled. "I love you." As he said that, a buff man with a peg leg limped in. "Oh, hey, Gobber."

"Astrid told me (Y/N) lost her memory."

"She did," Hiccup confirmed, standing up.

The man named Gobber asked you a few questions and felt your head for a bump. He found one on the back of your head when you yelled "Ouch!"

"Yep, there it is! Well, lass, looks like ye got amnesia." You were about to ask what that was but he beat you to it. "It mean you lost your memory."

"Oh."

"Ye should be fine with some rest. The memories may come back. Maybe not. Only time will tell."

"W- what do I do if they don't come back?" you asked, scared.

"Move on with life, lass. They might come back. Talk with everyone. Stay with Hiccup, he'll help ye through this. Have him tell you about the times ye two spent together. Get to know them again. That should help. Hiccup take the lass to places you've been. The, uh, time ye spent together and all that."

"How long before I can get out of bed?" you asked.

"What?"

"Hiccup said I wasn't allowed to get out of bed. That I needed my rest."

"Oh, right. Ye seem fine but rest for today. Talk with Hiccup about stuff and see if your memory comes back. Bye, lass, Hiccup."

"Bye, Gobber. Thanks," Hiccup said, not taking his eyes off you.

"Bye, uh, Gobber."

Gobber was about to shut the door when Hiccup jumped up. "Wait! Gobber, can I talk to you downstairs?"

"Sure. But make it quick, boy." They went downstairs, leaving you alone.

You laid down on the bed, but quickly became bored. You didn't want to spend the day laying down and besides, you were fine this morning.

You stood up and opened the door. Looking for a way out. You quietly walked downstairs and saw Gobber and Hiccup talking.

"But what if her memory doesn't come back?" Hiccup asked.

"Well, lad, I don't know. Make new memories with her. Tell her of the memories she once had."

Hiccup took a ring out of his pocket and stared at. "Okay, Gobber. Thank you."

"Bye, Hiccup. Take care of (Y/ N)."

You realized you were almost out of time and quickly saw a back door. A way out. You snuck past them as Hiccup said, "Bye, Gobber. See you tomorrow," and went out the back door as Gobber went out the front.

The first thing you noticed was a forest a few yards in front of you. You quickly ran past the first line of trees, running faster when you heard Hiccup shout, "(Y/ N)! (Y/ N), WHERE ARE YOU?"

You gasped, tripping over a root and pulling yourself up. Pain made it hurt to run on your ankle but you continued to anyways. You just followed a path to a familiar cove with a pond in it.

You heard someone calling your name in the distance but ignored it. You played by yourself in the shallow water, scared for some reason to go in the water past your waist.

You played in the water for nearly an hour before three dragons landed in the cove.

"(Y/ N)!" Hiccup shouted, frightened. "Get out of there!" He got off his black dragon and ran to you.

"Stay back," you warned, going farther in the water. It scared you, Hiccup could see that, but you didn't budge. If he or the two other people (Astrid and Gobber) took a step towards you, you took a step back. "How did you find me?"

"We have tracking dragons, love- I mean (Y/ N)," Hiccup explained, arms out in front of him as he tried to sneak a step forward. To his disappointment, you saw it and took an even bigger stepped back.

"You can call me love if you want."

"Okay. Please, love, get out of the water. I know your scared- I can see it in your eyes. We won't hurt you. Just please, don't go any deeper," he begged, the water at the top of your stomach. He knew there was a drop off a step or two behind you.

"I don't want to stay inside all day," you pouted.

"Fine. I'll take you on a flight around Berk. How does that sound? You won't have to go inside until dark."

You thought about it for a moment. "Maybe."

"Please, love. Please," he begged, taking two steps forward.

You took two steps back. The only problem, neither of those two steps did you have solid ground beneath your feet, so you screamed as you sank to the bottom once again.

"(Y/ N)!" Hiccup shouted, going in after you.

You were still screaming as you neared the bottom. Memories of you swimming to the bottom of this pond filled your head. You remembered sucking in the big breath before diving under, just to see if you could touch the bottom. You remembered your fingertips barely reaching the surface before darkness surrounded you.

A hand wrapped around your wrist and began to pull you back up. Hiccup. He pulled you to the surface then carried back to the shore, both of you coughing and breathing heavily.

"(Y/N)," he panted, setting you down. "Don't ever do that again. Do you understand? Don't go anywhere outside the village without me. And finally, stay. Away. From. Water. Am I understood?"

"Yes, sir," you whimpered, shivering. A moment later, you threw yourself in his arms, crying. "I'm so sorry, Hiccup! It's all my fault! I'm so sorry!"

"Shh. Calm down, love. It's not your fault. You didn't know about the drop off," he soothed. That wasn't what you meant, but you said nothing. "Do you wanna go back to bed?" You shook your head no. "Please, love, just for a little bit. Then, if you want, I'll take you flying on Toothless."

"T- Toothless?"

"Oh, right. Toothless, my dragon," he answered, pointing to the black dragon he flew in on. "Does a flight sound good?" You nodded. "So, one hour of rest, then we'll go flying until dark. Sound good?"

"Y- yes."

"Okay, my dear. Let's head home." He picked you up bridal style again and carried you to Toothless. Astrid and Gobber had already left, so it was just you, Hiccup, and Toothless on the way home. Hiccup carried you inside, Toothless following, and set you gently on one side of the bed before walking around and getting on the other side. He scooted closer to you and pulled you close- out of habit. "Oh, do you mind?" he asked, looking down at you. You looked up at him.

You shook your head no, smiling. "No. For some odd reason, I feel safe like this."

He smiled kindly and kissed your forehead. "I'm glad. Take a nap, love. I'll wake you in an hour or so, okay?" You yawned and agreed, resting your head against his chest and falling asleep.

You woke up two hours later, looking up to see Hiccup asleep. You giggled and woke him up. "Hiccup. Wake up, Hiccup. Hiccup! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!" you said the last three like a child.

"Huh? Oh! Sorry, mi'lady. Seems like I fell asleep," he began to yawn, "as well."

"It's okay. Let's go for that flight!" you said, eagerly.

He chuckled at your enthusiasm and called Toothless before y'all went outside. Another dragon lay downstairs. The same dragon from earlier- where you screamed and Hiccup found you. His/ her head popped up when you entered the room.

"Hiccup, who is that?" You asked, pointing at the dragon.

"That's, uh, (D/N)."

"Hello, (D/N)," you smiled. The dragon looked at you, confused, but laid its head back down.

"Come now, mi'lady. We have a flight to go on." He lead you outside and you got on Toothless, just like you did that morning.

You flew around on Toothless until dark. He flew just below the clouds so you could reach up and touch them, Hiccup beaming when you laughed freely. You watched the sky with all the pretty colors. He flew low enough so you could bend over and touch the ocean.

Hiccup wasn't to happy when you started to lean over and put your hand in the water. "(Y/ N)! Don't do that!" he demanded, pulling you back up before making Toothless fly up. "I don't want you getting hurt again."

All too soon, Toothless landed in front of the house you woke up in and you jumped off, wincing as pain shot up your ankle.

"Are you okay, love?" he asked, eyes wide.

You smiled back. "I'm fine, Hiccup." You took a step on you bad ankle and winced again, trying to hide it from Hiccup as you limped inside.

He stopped you after three steps and looked at your ankle. It was swollen slightly, with a light purplish tint. He gasped, "(Y/ N)! When did this happen?"

"Um, when I ran off while you were talking to Gobber. I tripped over a root but ignored it as I continued running."

"Oh, (Y/N)," he sighed, shaking his head to show that he disapproved of your actions. He picked you up again and carried you inside. Again. "Next time, please, tell me."

"Okay."

He set you on the bed so you were lying down and lifted your pant leg just enough to see the injury. He carefully took off your boot and wrapped your ankle up before getting a block of ice and putting it gently on your ankle. You hissed as the cold reached your skin but didn't move.

He smiled at you as he moved so he was above you.

"Your so beautiful," he whispered, leaning in.

"T- thanks," you stuttered, trying to lean farther back into the bed.

He seemed to get out of his daze halfway from where he started. He leaned back up and apologized.

"You don't need to apologize. I'm sorry for forgetting you. For forgetting everything." You stared at the ceiling, past him- who was more in the edge of your vision.

"No, no, no," he said, sitting next to you, he moved so he was in the center of your line of sight. "It's not your fault, love," he said, running his fingers through your hair. He knew you loved it and, even without your memory, you did. You closed your eyes and smiled, making Hiccup smile.

Suddenly you felt a pair of lips on your forehead. "I will never leave you. I will remain by your side until you send me away. My heart will be forever yours," he promised. He use to always tell you that promise.

You gasped as more memories came. They all had Hiccup saying what he just said, just different scenarios. One was on a cliff as you watched the sunset: Another was when you were waist deep in water and your foreheads were touching: And another he said it against your neck as you were panting.

One memory stood out:

You were at the cove. The one you almost drowned in twice. But you were laying in a patch of flowers, Hiccup laying beside you.

"(Y/ N)," he said, jumping up. "Stand up, I've got a surprise for you."

You giggled but stood up.

He took your hands in his before staring into your (E/C) eyes and saying something you had been waiting to hear for a while.

"(Y/ N) (L/N), I- I love you!" He leaned forward and closed his eyes. You stiffened at first, but soon relaxed and kissed him back, wrapping your arms around his neck as he placed his arms around your waist and pulled you closer.

You pulled away panting. "I love you, too, Hiccup," you said in between breaths.

He smiled brightly and kissed you passionately.

You blinked, finding a worried Hiccup staring at you with emerald green eyes. "(Y/ N), are you okay?"

"Yes. I am. It's just..."

"Just what?" You didn't answer. "You can tell me, (Y/ N)."

"Just... I- I think it was a memory."

"You got your memory back?" he asked, hopeful.

"No. Just glimpse." His face fell, making you wince.

"Oh. What do you remember?" he asked, slightly happy but not as much as when he thought you got your memory back.

"Um, you telling me the promise you just made on a cliff, waist deep in water, and a few other places. And..." You avoided his gaze, blushing a light shade of scarlet.

"Don't be embarrassed," he said, softly, using his finger to tilt your chin up so you looked him in his lovely emerald green eyes. "Please tell me."

"Uh, we were at that place we were earlier- the place with the water when I snuck out- and we were lying on grass. You told me to stand up then said that you loved someone named, uh, (Y/ N) (L/N), I believe, and kissed me."

He blushed. "Sweetheart, that's your name. It was probably the time I confessed my love to you."

You blushed even deeper, hiding your face with your hair. "Oh."

He chuckled, "Don't be embarrassed, love. It's just the two of us here."

"What's your name?"

He sighed, sadly. "Hiccup."

"I know that much. That's not what I meant. Your full name. What's my full name?"

"Well, my love, mine is Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third. You full name is (full name)."

"Oh. Thank you."

He brought you into a hug. "Anything for you, mi'lady." He kissed your forehead before resting his head on top of yours.
