Love can bring people closer.

It was sunset. Hiccup was riding Toothless; they were the best dragon and rider in the whole village of Berk. Hiccup and Toothless were a pair when seen on ground but in the air… they were one. It was like Hiccup wasn't even on the Night Fury. Hiccup was also known as Hiccup the Worthy. He wasn't the wimpy kid he used to be, but he had a strong, lean build to his body and a jaw that ever guy would want. His mocha-coloured hair was now cropped short at the back, yet his fringe covered his eyes. The boy now was 18, prime age for a 'Viking'. He was every girl's dream boy with the muscles in the right place and all that junk. He only had eyes for one special girl: Astrid.

Astrid was also on a dragon, but a Deadly Nadder. She was one of the best dragon trainers and riders after Hiccup of course. She was also 18, yet younger than Hiccup by 4 months (AN: Just making it up). She had platinum blonde hair that was braided with her headband that left her bangs out of her sky blue eyes. She had every guy's attention at her that was of her age or a year older or 2. Every boy tried to impress her by flexing muscles and cheeky, flirty faces. Yet none of them could get to her. She was prime meat for boy food chains. But her heart was set for someone else: Hiccup.

Every time either one thought of the one, they'd blush till they reached the shade of a beetroot and if they saw each other they'd run off blushing like mad while giggling to themselves thinking the other looked at them. The only people who thought that this behaviour was normal and didn't do after the pair were Fishlegs, Snoutlout, Ruffnut and Tuffnut. This group of people had to put up with the stupid dreamy looks both Hiccup and Astrid gave each other from when they joined leagues with the dragons.

"Ugh! Damn these straps! They won't budge!" Hiccup screamed as he tried to disentangle himself from Toothless' harnesses and his own. Suddenly a pair of hands came out of nowhere and stopped his frustrated jig.

"Here let me help," Astrid said, as she unlooped the leather harness from the riding gear. While she had Hiccup separated from Toothless and was now fixing the saddle, Hiccup was as red as a tomato as he unbuckled his riding suit. As Astrid finished, she looked over to Hiccup and saw that he was in the middle of lifting his suit off and his shirt had ridden up, causing her to see Hiccup's well-developed abs and the snail trail hair that lead to man territory. Her cheeks became the light shade of pink as her eyes widened at the muscles. After she watched him take the suit off, she angled her body back to her house and threw a quick goodbye over her shoulder to Hiccup, leaving him there with Toothless looking confused and ripe tomato red.
