* When Heather returns in season three, the girls develop a RomanticTwoGirlFriendship that you half expect to get a RelationshipUpgrade. The two become so close you would think they had been best friends since birth. Astrid is impressed by the new intense, "edgy" Heather, while Hiccup is disturbed by it. Then there's their good-bye at the end of "Have Dragon, Will Travel":

* The tension really starts in Dagur's second appearance in "The Night and the Fury." Dagur's first reaction upon seeing Hiccup is to hug him and squee about how he "fought off" that Night Fury last time they met. He confesses that ever since Hiccup "saved" him from that "dragon attack" (not yet knowing it was staged), "I haven't been able to stop... ''thinking'' about you." Hiccup awkwardly says he's "flattered," causing Dagur to quickly backtrack ("Not ''you'', personally..."). Dagur starts calling Hiccup "brother" (and does so the rest of the series!), makes Hiccup stay with him the rest of the episode, and ''cannot'' keep his hands off him, with Hiccup repeatedly saying he's making him feel "awkward." Dagur desperately wants to spend time dragon hunting with Hiccup and gets more and more annoyed when his friends keep showing up, making him act more and more clingy and possessive. It's no wonder Hiccup seems fully aware of how Dagur feels about him, as he tells the others to get their dragons and get away while he keeps him busy ("Don't worry, Dagur won't hurt me... I'm his brother"). Indeed, at the end of the episode, Dagur seems more upset by Hiccup personally betraying him and lying to him than by Berk's possession of domesticated dragons. The episode ends with one of Dagur's {{mooks}} musing about how he wants to kill Hiccup. Dagur immediately grabs him by the throat and screams, "NO! '''No one''' hurts Hiccup. NO ONE! [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou Except me.]]"

While not as obvious as the other two male Dragon Riders, Tuffnut seems to have a subtle one-sided crush on Hiccup for his brains and good looks. He seems to have a thing for Hiccup's tousled brown hair, admitting that he admires the beauty of it. And apparently has hung a painting of him above his bed.

When the blacksmith expresses suspicion about the gronkle iron mace they lie about it being taken from Hiccup. Tuffnut starts describing him as "the skinny one with the squeaky voice, and the metal leg, and the tousled brown hair". Later on he pretends to elaborate further on how he got the mace and we get this:
-->'''Tuffnut:''' Ignoring the pain, I wrapped my hands around the Dragon Rider's throat and admired his tousled brown hair. And then I squeezed his neck like a turkey's neck!

* In what can only be described as a deliberate poke at The subtext between them in "Mi Amore Wing" is clearly deliberate:

** The B-plot focuses on Astrid thinking Hiccup's lost interest in her because he repeatedly fails to notice she's wearing his engagement gift. The first time that happens, it's because he's thinking about Dagur. The second time, it's because Dagur pulls him away from her.

proposal, complete with getting down on one knee and seizing his hand. What makes the scene stand out, however, is how Dagur seems to be in ''agony'' every second of it and on the verge of bursting into sobs, like he's in almost unbearable pain:
-->'''Dagur:''' Hiccup! Brother! I know this question might come as a shock, but... will you honor me by being my best man? Before you answer, I... I know I don't deserve you, but I... ''(presses Hiccup's hand against his cheek)''' I just can't imagine that glorious day without you by my side...

* The two are forced to work together in "Shell Shocked Part 2." Hiccup treats the situation as precariously as you'd expect, but Viggo continues to act like they're on a date or something, teasing Hiccup about his new relationship with Astrid and inviting him to join him for an upcoming Maces and Talons tournament. Poor Hiccup sounds like someone telling off a particularly clingy ex who just can't accept that things are over:
-->'''Hiccup:''' What I am ''not'' is your friend, your ally, your Maces and Talons buddy! So let's leave our personal lives out of this and get down to business!
* Even Krogan starts thinking Viggo's feelings for Hiccup are going too far when the latter returns in Season 7; when he sees Viggo using one of Hiccup's inventions to retrieve the Dragon Eye, Krogan gives him what sounds like a warning that LoveIsAWeakness:
-->'''Viggo:''' I have found, Krogan, that it is important to draw inspiration from those who've bested you. Hiccup's ingenuity... it's fascinating. The boy has invented things most could only dream of.
-->'''Krogan:''' Reverence? It's a dangerous emotion, Viggo.
-->'''Viggo:''' Only if it is allowed to cloud one's judgment.
* During an argument with Viggo later, a very frustrated Krogan refers to Hiccup as "Your Archipelagan Idol."
* Things all but come out in the open in "Triple Cross":
** As usual, Viggo wishes Hiccup would enjoy the chance to work together as much as he does ("Oh, don't be like that, Hiccup").
** Viggo repeatedly teases Hiccup about being too "pure" and "innocent."
** It's Viggo feelings for Hiccup that blow his cover (because he refuses to let Johann and Krogan kill him). Johann and Krogan easily deduce that he cares more about their prisoner than about their plans ([[EvilCannotComprehendGood not that they can understand why]]):
-->'''Johann:''' This bickering is pointless. Get rid of the boy.
-->'''Viggo:''' Wait...
-->'''Krogan:''' Why do you want him alive?! He scarred your face, destroyed your brother, decimated your empire...
-->'''Johann:''' And humiliated you with defeat after defeat... ''(pins him to the wall by his throat)'' You thought I wouldn't figure you out?
** [[spoiler:Before he dies, Viggo admits how much Hiccup has changed him, how he's taught him to care about and respect dragons. Keep in mind this is one villain Hiccup *never* tried to do that to -- his influence was completely unintentional. He changed the man just by being himself and impressing him THAT much while doing so. The changes seen in Viggo ever since he got his scar, like actually caring about his men in "Wings of War," are all thanks to his feelings for Hiccup.]]
** [[spoiler:Viggo doesn't just die to save Hiccup -- before he goes, he clasps his hand and gives him one of his trademark game pieces, as if to remember him by. The scene of them standing there holding hands in their final good-bye is *very* powerful.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Viggo:''' Hiccup, you're more ruthless than you realize. I ''know'' you will defeat Krogan and Johann. [[MoreExpendableThanYou Now go.]]]]

Viggo's boundless "reverence" for Hiccup has made him come across as a StalkerWithACrush ever since his debut. Ever since he learned of Hiccup's existence, before even meeting him, Viggo's treated their teams' battles as a fun game and acts as if he expects Hiccup to enjoy the whole thing as much as he does. His respect for Hiccup goes way beyond typical WorthyOpponent-ness; he seems to take a genuinely sensual pleasure in losing to him. Every time they clash personally, Viggo talks and acts as if they're two people on a date and he wants Hiccup to have as good a time as he is.

* One of the best examples of Viggo's bizarre interpretation of their relationship comes at the end of "Buffalord Soldier," where he seems sincerely disappointed at Hiccup's lack of enthusiasm, as if he expects Hiccup to enjoy being blackmailed for the cure to save Astrid's life as much as Viggo enjoys doing it:
-->'''Viggo:''' I've truly missed our time together, Hiccup. My brother leaves something to be desired in the repartee department. My boy, don't look so morose. It takes all the fun out of it.
* In "Defenders of the Wing Part 1," Viggo continues to act like they're meeting for a date rather than arch enemies discussing a "peace" treaty, saying he's surprised Hiccup accepted his invitation, continuing to compliment him for being such a "worthy opponent," sincerely enjoying just having a moment to chat with him ("It's good to see your sense of humor's still intact"), etc.
* In "Gold Rush," after he's captured all but 3 of the riders, Viggo orders Ryker to "bring Hiccup to my chambers," naturally acting like he's invited him over for dinner ("Please, sit.")
