Guys, I'm really going to need your help here.
This is my first not Rebels story. I absolutely love HTTYD. So, I am going to ask that anybody that wants to help me with this story, please do so.
Suggestions, improvements, all of that stuff.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
"Astrid!"
In a flash, Hiccup lept off Toothless, free-falling toward his plummeting friend.
"So, how's the leg?"
Hiccup looked at the prosthetic Gobber had made for him.
"It'll do. I'll probably make some adjustments to it."
Astrid smiled. It was good to have Hiccup back.
"While you were unconscious, Toothless let me ride him."
Hiccup scratched Toothless's neck. "Oh really, bud? So now you like her?"
Astrid grinned. "He's not the only one."
As she sped away on her dragon, Hiccup glanced at Toothless.
"Alright, bud. Let's go catch her."
As they chased Astrid, Hiccup smiled. This was how life on Berk was supposed to be. Not fearing every night and every day for their lives, but living in peace with their worst enemy.
When the two of them caught up to Astrid, she smiled. "So, how'd you sleep?"
Hiccup frowned. Had he been sleeping recently? "Um, the coma?"
"Yeah. Have any dreams?"
"Uh. I don't think so."
"OK. Just checking."
Hiccup and Toothless fell behind a little bit. Hiccup glanced down at his dragon. "Is it me, or does Astrid seem a little...strange?"
Toothless growled a response that made Hiccup smile.
"Yeah, I know I've only been friends with her a few days!"
Another growl.
"Why do I get the feeling that you know and you're not telling me? She rode you, she must of said something."
Astrid fell back to where they were. "We have incoming. Snotlout doesn't seem to know how to control his dragon."
Hiccup groaned. "Watch yourself."
Unfortunately, Snotlout and his dragon crashed right into Astrid, sending her plummeting to the ground.
"Astrid! Just, hang on! I'm coming!"
"Hiccup!"
He managed to catch her, and hoped Toothless could reach them. He didn't want to lose another appendage. Or worse, have Astrid lose one.
Astrid smiled. "Well, this is horrible."
"I've had worse."
"True. Well, at least you have company this time around."
"That doesn't exactly thrill me."
Toothless swooped under them, catching them before they could hit the ground.
After getting himself and Astrid situated, Hiccup looked at Toothless.
"Cutting it a little close there, huh bud?"
Toothless's response was to fly upside down, forcing Astrid to hug Hiccup to stay on. Hiccup laughed.
"Ok, bud. Point taken. Thanks for the save."
Toothless growled something Astrid couldn't understand, but made Hiccup laugh.
"Yeah, Yeah. I know those hooks are to prevent me from falling. But I had to get Astrid."
Another growl.
"Yeah bud, now we can go home."
Hiccup looked back at Astrid. "Your dragon flew back, so you'll have to ride back with us. Do you mind?"
Astrid smiled. "No. I like flying with you and Toothless."
"Remember our first flight? That didn't start great."
"Yeah, but the ending was fantastic! It showed me a whole new world."
Hiccup chuckled. Astrid glared at him. "What?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Hiccup..."
"You're kinda cute when you get excited."
Astrid punched his arm. "What do you mean, 'kind of'?"
Uh oh. "Uh. Er. I-"
Astrid smiled. "Relax. I'm only teasing."
Back on Berk, Hiccup walked Astrid to her house, if only so he could feel like she was safe.
At the door, Astrid punched Hiccup's arm. "That's for almost not catching me!"
Hiccup sighed. "But I-"
Astrid kissed his cheek. "That's for everything else."
OK. Couple of things here.
This is going to be a Hicstrid story.
I'll do my best to use any and all suggestions you guys throw at me.
Also, this is not going to be M Rated. Just so you know in advance.
Thanks for reading!
