Wake Up

Hi everyone! The last story I wrote got a lot of views so I decided to write another. I'll take suggestions from you all while writing this one!

Chapter 1: Sunsets

It was a sunny day on Berk. This didn't happen often but this day was special. Not a single could in the sky. It was perfect. Not too hot, not too cold. Hiccup was having a day with Toothless that involved flying around rocks and arches that would normally be too foggy to go around. They flew from about 4:30 in the morning as the sun was barely breaching the viewing plain. The flew for hours on end both not caring about Viggo (for once) or any other enemies he's made over the years. "Wow bud! I almost forgot what it was like to not have any responsibilities! I love it!" Toothless smiled and gave a playful grunt obviously enjoying this also. They glided past all the Islands they've discovered, counting how many they could spot and a memory of what happened there.

They finally decided it was time to head back to Berk and fly to the Edge. They stocked up at Berk before saying farewell to his dad and chief Stoick the Vast.

"You sure you have to go?" Stoick asked.

"Ya I do. But as soon as we take Viggo and the hunters down we'll come back to Berk!" Hiccup responded.

The duo flew back to Dragon's Edge only to find Astrid standing in front of his hut with her arms crossed and a frown on her face.

"Uh oh bud. That can't be good." Hiccup muttered to himself. He landed and waved to Astrid hoping that she wasn't mad at him and was mad at Snotlout or the Twins.

"Look who remember I even existed?" Astrid shot at Hiccup.

'Crap, she is mad at me.' Hiccup's thoughts told him.

"We have this perfect day with nothing to do and I thought we'd go do something but when I went to get you, all I found was an empty bed. Do I even mean anything to you?" The blonde asked harshly.

"Of course you do! I just wanted to take Toothless on an early flight! After we made a quick stop at Berk to resupply." Hiccup said motioning his head to a bag of supplies Toothless carried.

Astrid just turned her head and pouted. "So you decide to spend the day gathering supplies than hanging out with your girlfriend?" She realized what she just said and immediately blushed in embarrassment.

Hiccup stood there dumbfounded in what he just heard. Without thinking he questioned, "We're a couple?"

That response was better than Astrid anticipated. She felt a little excitement because he didn't deny that they were a thing. She tried to sound annoyed again to try and make Hiccup feel guilty. "Do you think we're a couple?"

"Uh. I. I don't know." Hiccup bit his tongue. 'Shut up Hiccup!' he thought to himself. 'You're only making this worse! Just tell her how you feel.'

"Oh. I didn't know you thought of us that way." Astrid believed he had feelings for her but she wanted him to admit it. She was disappointed he didn't admit them yet.

"You know, the day's not over yet. What do you want to do?" Hiccup just hoped he didn't crush her feelings.

"I want to watch the sunset together. You know? Just us?"

"Since when did Astrid Hofferson like sunsets? Isn't that to peaceful for you?"

"I guess you'll see for yourself how I am around sunsets." Astrid finished as she walked away.

"She didn't punch me... That's weird."

Astrid had been planning to tell Hiccup that she had come to love him and that she wanted 'them' to be official as a couple. Perfect day at the perfect time for the perfect moment. Butterflies were flying aggressively inside of Astrid's stomach as Hiccup accepted to watch the sunset with her.

"Well. Whadaya think bud?" Hiccup looked at his dragon. "Think having no training or any enemies to fight is making her go insane?" Toothless bellowed in laughter.

"Well it's starting Astrid. This is what you've been waiting for. The 'Sunset'." Hiccup making sure that Astrid wanted to watch a sunset. He never though Astrid to be "soft" enough to watch sunsets.

"Wow. It's beautiful." Was her only response.

"Well not as beautiful as-" Hiccup caught himself talking without thinking.

"Not as beautiful as what?" Astrid smirked knowing what he was about to say.

"As... A sunrise." Hiccup tried to cover it up. 'Why have I never told her how I truly feel?' Hiccup thought about this and realized that if any enemy found out how much she meant to him it would put her in danger. 'That's why. To keep her safe.'

"Hiccup... I just want you to know how I truly feel about you." She began. "When I first met you I thought you were weak but I noticed you were different. In a good way. But when I saw you being bullied by everyone else, I didn't join in nor did I stop it. I was afraid to be bullied also. So I'm sorry first off."

"Astrid, you don't have to apolo-" He was interrupted

"Then when you took me for that flight I saw a whole new side to you. No viking has ever 'gotten to see my soft side until that day. That's when I started feeling something towards you."

"What are you getting at?" Hiccup questioned.

"Then when I saw Toothless without you on him after the Red Death battle I thought you died and that's when I realized you mean so much more to me. When you were alive I couldn't have been happier."

"Ya then you kissed me I get it." Hiccup said. Did Astrid think he forgot that?

"And I've kissed you twice since then." Astrid responded quickly emphasizing 'kissed' (Gift of the Night Fury and Riders of Berk)

"Oh I know what's going on now!" Hiccup finally realized she was admitting feeling for him!

*Whack*

"You idiot. How did you not know what was going on?" Astrid punched his arm hard.

"Sorry! I'm not as smart as I seem at times!" Hiccup was now holding his arm where she punched.

"Hiccup I wanted to take you here to tell you that I care deeply about you and I want our relationship to be more than friends and make it official. I know you care about me Hiccup so that's why I'm asking."

"Astrid..." Hiccup started

"Is that a yes?"

"We can't be official. If someone found out we were together they could try and use me to trap you or vice versa." Hiccup continued. "I'd be putting you in a whole new kind of danger. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if something happened to you!" He finished finally.

"But I already am in danger just by being here with you!" Astrid countered.

"Astrid I can't put you in that kind of danger it's a whole new level of insanity when enemies find out that two people are-"

"Awe. Two lovebirds confessing their love for each other? How cute." A mysterious voice came from behind them.
