Kid with one girl and two armies
Snotlout´s pov
When did I seriously stop trying to get Astrid for myself you ask?
Well… Do you remember how Hiccup looked always really surprised when Astrid hugged him? Not to mention his face when he was kissed. He continued to look as baffled for years, seriously. Well at least for a year. Anyway, it did stop - and that´s when I stopped too.
If Hiccup; the scrawny, awkward Hiccup can get used to receiving kisses from Astrid then there has to be lots of them, frequently. And Astrid isn't actually affectionate towards anything. So - look at them now. Hiccup might get a kiss on a cheek without even turning to look at Astrid afterwards. No blushing, no freezing. It´s normal to him.
Astrid has made that happen. She wants to keep Hiccup (for whatever reason), to stay by his side. Hiccup is confident with her now. Let's face it; Hiccup´s self esteem hasn't been all that high in the past. That must have taken a lot of work from Astrid to get Hiccup understand she wants him. But now Hiccup Knows it and what astounds me even more is the fact that Astrid is the one who runs after him. And she knows it.
The way Astrid acts around him tells she would fight for him. But it also tells that Hiccup doesn't have to fight for Astrid because she will follow and he can count on that. She might very well be the only one capable of following him. And I have a feeling Hiccup knows that, too.
I know I said Hiccup doesn't have to fight for Astrid but that doesn't mean he wouldn't do it. Now that he has got her I have no doubt he will do everything in his power to keep Astrid with him, happy and well. And power is something he has nowadays - a lot.
Hiccup doesn't go ordering dragons around, he doesn't like that kind of thing. But he has the knowledge to do so if needed and he has got Toothless. The night fury would do anything for his rider. So if anyone manages to anger Hiccup he could come at that poor soul with his army of dragons, his position as a chief (hence his army of Vikings) and with all his inventions. (He still won´t give me that flaming sword thingy.)
It stings to admit it but I would not want to be his enemy. That kid has grown some guts.
Under all that power lays a little secret message everyone should know;
Do not mess with the dragonlord´s partner.
(She will kill you before he even knows you tried.)
So, my first try with how to train your dragon. Quite different in style than my other fics so far but I wanted to try it. I would really appreciate it if you told your opinion.
I hope you are having a nice day : )
(and nice time with my fic(s?))
