“What did you need my help with, Krogan?” Viggo asked as the older man followed after the other alpha. You’ll see my friend,” Krogan said with a grin as he walked down the dungeon towards the desired cell. Krogan stopped at the last door. “I don’t exactly need your help getting information; I just thought you’d enjoy seeing this,” Krogan said with a sadistic smile as they walked into the cell.
Viggo’s eyes widened as he saw none other than Hiccup Haddock chained down to the ground. “Well, this is quite the surprise.” Viggo chimed as he walked around the chained-down beta. “What do you plan to do with my dear Hiccup?” Viggo asked curiously as he placed a hand on Hiccup’s head. “Well, I got my hands on TrypleStryke venom and I think it will get him talking,” Krogan said with a nod.
Krogan walked over popping off the cap of a bottle as he kneeled in front of Hiccup. “Open up.” Krogan sneered, “Or I’ll have to make you.” He explained as he dug a knife out of his pocket and twisted it idly. “This’ll be good,” Viggo murmurs with a smile.
Hiccup thrashed as Krogan came near him. “Don’t touch me.” He hissed, glaring at Viggo and Krogan, He hated this. He HATED THIS! He wanted Toothless and to blow this place to splinters! But he didn’t know where Toothless was.
He purposely clamped his mouth shut, twisting his head away as his mop of curly brown hair fell in his face as he glared at Krogan and jerked his head out of Viggo’s grasp.
Krogan scowled as Hiccup twisted his head away, He had no patience for the boy's feisty attitude. Taking a good handful of Hiccup’s hair, He forcefully yanked Hiccup’s head back, holding him in place. “Last chance to open your mouth before I force it open myself.” He warned, tapping the tip of the knife against Hiccup’s bottom lip.
Hiccup growled quietly the sound rumbling from his chest as he narrowed his eyes, The spew of curses he wanted to say wouldn’t be uttered because he didn’t want to open his mouth and let Krogan pour venom into his throat, even as the cold steel pressed against his bottom lip.
Krogan chuckled menacingly at the growl that came from Hiccup, He found it amusing to watch the boy try and fight him despite being at a disadvantage. He grabbed the boy's jaw with a strong grip, Sliding his knife between his teeth and sliding it up so it was between his teeth and keeping Hiccup’s mouth open.
Viggo watched with a sadistic gleam in his eyes as he leaned against the wall. He crossed his arms in satisfaction, He had to admit, it was fun watching Krogan manhandle the boy.
Hiccup cursed and thrashed as blood trickled down the blade from where the knife cut harshly into his gums- He instinctively wanted to bite down but he knew it would be a horrible idea to do so- Seeing his thrashing had only succeeded in shredding his gums and mouth.
Krogan smirked as he heard the boy curse, taking great pleasure in the way Hiccup struggled in his grip. “See? Was it that hard to open your mouth?” He said mockingly as he poured a few drops of the dark green venom into Hiccup’s mouth, making sure it sat on his tongue.
Viggo stood behind Hiccup, He placed his hand on Hiccup’s head, rubbing in mockingly soothing circles. “Come on my dear, Just drink it-“ He was cut off.
Hiccup immediately spat the venom out since his mouth was still open thanks to the knife when it tried to go down his throat, Flicking the venom off his tongue as it splattered across Krogan’s face.
Krogan growled, immediately wiping the venom away from his face with his sleeve. He wasn’t expecting that, and it clearly made him angry.
He gripped Hiccup’s jaw tighter, His eyes were full of anger. “You’re going to regret that boy.”
Viggo chuckled from behind Hiccup, It was entertaining to see the tables turn so quickly now. It was fun to see Krogan mad.
Krogan lunged forward, pulling the knife out roughly before shoving the bottle down Hiccup’s throat, “Plug his nose.” Krogan ordered as Viggo nodded holding Hiccup’s nose shut.
Hiccup thrashed and fought the entire way, he sprayed a bit of it out of his nose but it still fell down his throat. After a few seconds maybe less Hiccup suddenly convulsed, his entire body locking up like he was having a seizure or something as he crashed down onto the floor with a shriek of pain before tears sparked in his eyes- It was ripping through his entire body making everything it touched as it went down alight in flame and pure unfiltered agony as it clawed his insides and left venomous rakes in its wake making him thrash back as he bit his tongue so hard he nearly bit it off-
Krogan chuckled as he watched Hiccup writhe in pain, It was satisfying to see the boy be in so much agony. He chuckled, “Oh that looks like it hurts.” He said smugly, He got a kick out of this.
Viggo let go of Hiccup’s nose, He watched the boy thrash on the floor with a satisfied expression. It was entertaining to see, and it didn’t look like Krogan was getting sick of it either, “That looks like it hurts pretty badly my dear-“ He said mockingly.
Hiccup hunched into himself trying to push himself back upright as a scream tore it’s way out of his throat, His entire body rigid in agonizing pain as he screamed so hard his throat would start bleeding if he continued, He dug his nails into the floor so hard the pressure started cracking his nails with sickening splintering and snapping noises as he seized again, lurching forward as he crumbled again, Now lying on the stone floor again as his nose started bleeding as he trembled.
The scent of an omega in excruciating amounts of agony ripped through the room slamming into Krogan and Viggo’s noses as the bitter scent that screamed “HELP ME!” Assaulted their senses.
Krogan scrunched his nose at the sudden assault of bitter omega smell, He wasn’t expecting such a powerful and painful scent to hit his nose.
Viggo on the other hand was hit harshly with the scent, He stumbled back and covered his nose as it was overwhelming even to him. Krogan coughed as he turned to Viggo “Why does he smell like that?!”. Viggo shook his head rapidly, The scent was strong and painful, He coughed, His eyes watering. "I don’t know but it’s awful!” He cried out.
Hiccup almost immedietly gagged before he threw up, blood mixed with pure stomach acid as he did a horrifying mixture of screaming and gagging as blood continued dripping from his nose, His muscles locked up again as tears streamed down his scrunched up blood and vomit covered face, His fingers bleeding from how much strain they were under as blood dribbled from his mouth from where he’d bit down on his tongue so hard.
The scent only got worse as Hiccup’s symptoms did. The boy convulsed and gagged and spluttered as the two alphas were overwhelmed with the smell of an omega pup in intense agony.
Krogan gagged at the sight of Hiccup throwing up, The amount of blood and vomit that came out of him was unsettling in itself. He covered his nose further, The scent was becoming near unbearable.
Viggo covered his mouth, His eyes were watering as he stared at the mess in front of him, The scent was suffocating and he didn’t think he could take much more.
Krogan stepped back away from Hiccup, He leaned against the wall to keep his balance. He was starting to get dizzy from breathing in the bitter scent. Krogan suddenly turned around and left leaving Viggo and the convulsing beta- No, there was no doubt about it now Hiccup was an omega- Alone.
Hiccup cried out tears flooding down his face as he shrieked curling up into himself as blood dribbled down his chin and his nose as he screamed and cried out, The scent only of “HELP ME! I’M A CHILD IN PAIN! I NEED COMFORT!” getting worse as the poor boy left bloody finger prints in the stone floor.
Viggo stared in shock, The scent that came off Hiccup was overwhelming, He felt a deep need to go calm the omega, The instinct to comfort the boy was strong.
Viggo took a hesitant step forward, He looked at the poor boy, His heart twisted in ways he didn’t think were possible. He wanted to rush over and scoop Hiccup up in his arms and hold him until the pain stopped.
But for some reason he stayed in place, Something held him back-
Viggo covered his mouth, The feeling of wanting to soothe the boy’s pain got stronger. He could see the blood, the tears, and the smell of the boy in anguish was overwhelming.
He could barely keep himself from walking over and gathering the omega in his arms, He felt the desperate need to take away the boy’s pain.
Viggo was conflicted, He wanted to run to the poor boy and hold him. But there was something holding him back, preventing him from moving.
It was a battle, One part of him enjoyed seeing Hiccup writhe around like a pathetic worm, but the other- the alpha part of him, wanted oh so badly to comfort the screaming, crying, Trembling, Pup and gather him into his arms and take the omega pup somewhere comfortable and safe-
Eventually, the alpha side won.
Viggo ran over and knelt down next to Hiccup, ignoring the scent of bitter agony and focusing only on the boy.
He gently lifted Hiccup into his arms, He cradled the boy against his chest. His instincts were in control now, and they were telling him to do something he knew he probably shouldn't.
Viggo wrapped his arms around Hiccup, holding the omega pup securely against him as he began to rub small circles on his back.
"I'm here, I'm here little one," Viggo whispered under his breath as he continued to soothe the trembling boy.
Hiccup lurched away from his touch with a shout, As if touching him had burned him or slit his skin open- His nervous system was ablaze and screaming with pure torture and ripping itself to shreds trying to fight off the venom- Technically it was poison but right now he didn’t care enough for specifics, Everything touching him was sending bolts of agony through him so bad it made him lurch away from Viggo and throw up again.
"Oh, you poor thing-" Viggo whispers softly, His heart breaking as he watched Hiccup's violent reaction to his touch.
In all the years Viggo had been alive he had never seen such a sight. Not only was the scent of an omega agony making him dizzy and sick, but now he had to watch the poor boy suffer through the sting of Hades’ flames.
Viggo clenched his jaw in frustration. He needed to calm the boy but it seemed impossible with how bad his reaction to being touched was-
Hiccup screamed again burying his face into Viggo’s scarred neck as wet tears dripped down his face and onto Viggo’s skin as the omega’s broken and bleeding nails tried to dig into Viggo’s back as the poor pup basically hugged Viggo while writhing in agony, Trying to ground himself and focus on anything but the raging pain that felt like he was being brutally slaughtered over and over and over and over again!
Viggo winced as he felt Hiccup bury his face in his neck, The way the boy whined through his screams broke his heart. He could feel the poor pup's bloody fingers clawing at his back in a desperate attempt to hold onto him, It was like the omega was clutching onto him for dear life.
Viggo could feel his protective instinct roar to life as he held Hiccup and tried to soothe the poor boy. "Shhh, Shh. I'm here, You’re safe." He whispered into Hiccup's ear, His arms tightened around the whimpering pup.
Eventually, after far too long Hiccup slumped in Viggo’s grip, The chains rattled as the boy fell unconscious from how much pain the poor pup was in, His scent slowly calmed back down.
Viggo felt his heart ache as Hiccup went limp in his arms, The sound of the chains clanking against one another echoed dully in his ears.
He gently adjusted his hold on Hiccup, making sure the boy was comfortable in his grip. "My poor darling.." He whispered softly, His protective instincts taking full control now.
Viggo knew he shouldn't feel so strongly for the boy, They were technically enemies. But the alpha in him didn't care. All he wanted to do right now was keep Hiccup safe, keep the omega safe, and bring him to a soft warm nest so he could recover- His thoughts were cut off as Krogan walked into the room, “I had no idea he was an omega.” Krogan stated bluntly.
Viggo flinched as he heard Krogan's voice, He instinctively shifted Hiccup closer to himself, blocking the omega from Krogan's sight. "You and me both," Viggo responded gruffly, His tone sharper than he'd meant for it to be, but he was too focused on the unconscious omega in his arms to care.
Krogan raised an eyebrow. "You've gone soft for the boy! Haven't you!?" He demanded in a shocked manner.
Viggo growled under his breath, His grip on Hiccup tightened as he glared at Krogan. "And if I have?" He snapped back, His alpha instincts screaming at him to protect the omega from the other alpha.
Krogan scoffed in disbelief. "You're a dunce Viggo! You know that! He's our enemy! And an omega at that! Yet you're holding him like he's your pup!" Krogan spat.
Viggo bristled at Krogan's words, He knew the other alpha was right. Hiccup was an enemy- an omega. And yet here he was, holding the boy like he was Viggo’s own pup.
But he didn't care. In his instincts-driven mind, Hiccup was his pup. He was a defenseless little omega boy suffering in agony, and Viggo's alpha instincts told him to protect the boy, no matter what.
"I don't care." Viggo hissed through clenched teeth, His arms holding Hiccup even closer. “Give me the key to his chains, I’m taking him to my chambers so he may recover,” Viggo ordered.
Krogan sighed, He knew that look in Viggo's eyes; it was a look of someone who was completely lost in their instincts. He had seen it plenty of times before.
Krogan reluctantly handed Viggo the key to Hiccup's chains. "Fine then. Take him to your chambers. But don't get too attached. He's still our enemy." Krogan said grumpily, crossing his arms.
Viggo nodded, taking the key and unlocking Hiccup's chains. He carefully gathered the unconscious omega up in his arms once more, holding him gently against his chest.
Without another word, Viggo exited the dungeon and made his way through the corridors of the compound.
He got a few looks from his guards and hunters as he walked by, but he ignored them. The only thing on his mind was getting Hiccup somewhere safe and comfortable.
Hours. It took hours for Hiccup to wake up but he eventually did close to midnight, He whined pitifully as his throat burned and his body was tense and aching as he tried to roll over to see where he was before a pained yelp ripped out of his mouth as his ribs which quickly had lit a fire that danced in his very marrow when he touched the soft bed shot up through his ribs and chest.
Viggo had been dozing off in a chair near the bed when he was jolted awake by the sound of a pained whine. He immediately sat up and looked over at the bed, His heart sinking as he saw Hiccup's attempt to move.
"Easy, my dear," Viggo murmured softly, rising from his chair and approaching the bed. "Don't try and move, You're still injured."
Viggo sat down on the edge of the bed, watching Hiccup carefully as he slowly reached out to gently guide the boy back into a lying position.
“Vi-go.?” He croaked his throat straining with the effort as he winced, It felt like someone had scraped his insides with sandpaper before pouring changewing acid down his throat- He whined in pain as he begrudgingly laid back down, He was confused on where he was-
He inhaled deeply and realized he must be in Viggo’s chambers because everything in here reeked of his scent of iron, Dragon root, and ash.
"Shhhh, Yes, it's me. You're in my chambers." Viggo whispered softly, His eyes softening as he saw the pain etched on Hiccup's face. "Your throat is still strained, Don't try and talk."
Viggo gently pressed his hand against Hiccup's forehead, checking for a fever. He was relieved that the omega was finally awake, but he also realized how badly injured the boy must still be.
Hiccup glanced around and realized- Toothless wasn’t here- Where was Toothless?! Was he hurt?! Why wasn’t he in here?! Sure he may be a bit delirious from pain but his dragon where was his dragon he NEEDED to know Toothless was okay before he could even think about letting Viggo help him-
Eugh, That wasn’t a sentence he thought he’d ever say, or well think in this scenario, Viggo? Helping him? Anarchy.
“-Oothless..” He croaked his voice breaking when he tried to pronounce the first ‘T’.
Viggo's head perked up as he heard Hiccup croak out the dragon's name. He wasn't surprised that the omega's first thought was of his dragon, Their bond was powerful-
"Toothless is fine," Viggo reassured the boy. "He's in the stables getting fed and checked over by the other hunters, he's in perfect health. You don't have to worry about him, He's taken care of." Viggo promised.
Hiccup nodded quietly before lying back down on the bed and falling back asleep almost immediately, He was still in pain but now it was more bearable than earlier. And his body demanded rest.
Viggo couldn't help but notice the way Hiccup instantly fell back asleep. The omega must have been utterly exhausted from the events of the day.
Viggo sighed softly as he watched the sleeping boy. He ran a gentle hand through Hiccup's hair, His touch was soft and almost tender. "You poor thing," he whispered almost too quietly to be heard.
Viggo sat silently on the edge of the bed, His gaze fixed on the omega's sleeping form. He wasn't leaving his bedside until Hiccup woke again, and once he was good enough to fly he’d break Toothless out of his cage and let Hiccup fly free. He couldn’t bear to see what Krogan would do to the poor omega next, He had to help Hiccup even if it could cost him his life at Johann’s hand.
But for now, he would tend to the omega and make sure he was okay. Even if it took hours or even days.
