Here I'll be posting the short Hiccstrid drabbles I write on tumblr. Enjoy! :D
Prompt 76: "You need to wake up because I can't do this without you."
"Hiccup!" Astrid screamed, stumbling as she ran towards the still form on the ground. "HICCUP!"
Toothless was bounding over, cooing in worry, and since he was bigger and had wings to help him, he reached his fallen rider first. Astrid was close behind, her breathing quick and panicked as she crashed to her knees beside him with a grunt.
"No, please, Hiccup…" Astrid sobbed, rolling him over and wiping the blood of his cheek. The cut on his forehead was still bleeding, but she didn't care. She lifted his head against her shoulder and pulled him into her arms, rocking back and forth while sobbing all the more. "Please, please, Hiccup… wake up… please."
Toothless whined then let out a loud cry of grief, falling back onto the ground with a groan, his tail wrapping protectively around Astrid and Hiccup.
Astrid rested her forehead against her husband's, squeezing her eyes shut as the tears fell. Why? Why him? Why did it always have to be him? Her Hiccup… he had to be the one to fight Munga. He had to be the one to defeat the enemy. He had to be the one to get stabbed…
She opened her eyes and glared at the dead body of Munga not far from her. Hiccup had won, but he'd also suffered severely from the man to man battle. And why had he fought?
For her.
If she hadn't been stupid enough to get captured… if she had just escaped…
"Please, Hiccup, wake up…" She begged, her shoulders shaking with heavy sobs. "You can't… don't be dead, please, Hiccup. Don't leave me…"
She pressed her lips against his dirty cheek and rested her forehead against his again. She hugged him tighter, not caring if she got blood on her cloths.
"Please…" She whispered. "You need to wake up… because… I can't do this without you." She grabbed his hand in hers, resting it against her stomach where she carried their unborn child. "We need you…"
Toothless moaned again, then all fell quiet, and no response came, making Astrid sob harder and hug him tighter.
"A-Astr…" Came a hoarse whisper, and she froze, shocked into silence.
The voice came again, "I'm not gonna leave…"
Astrid pulled away, staring with wide eyes at Hiccup in shock. His eyes were partly open, and he was breathing heavily.
"H-Hiccup!" She screamed in joy. She hugged him again, leaning back against Toothless while rocking back and forth. "Thank you… oh gods I-I thought…"
Hiccup brought a hand up weakly and ran it through her messy hair, his head against her shoulder. Toothless barked in joy and stood up, wagging his butt in joy and a hint to say "Get on"
Astrid stood up, dragging Hiccup with her. He gasped and stumbled, trying to stand on his own but failing miserable.
"Hiccup, I've got you…" She reassured him, not wanting him to move to much for fear of him bleeding out.
Y-you… the baby… both mkay?" he mumbled, practically collapsing on to Toothless.
"We're fine, you're the one hurt." Astrid climbed up behind him, pulling him on the rest of the way. She pulled him against her, pressing a kiss against his sweaty hair. "Let's get you home…"
