That day it was rainig in Berk, as usual, it rained nine months out of the year there. No one ever seemed to mind though, maybe it was just something you got used to. Hiccup never really did get used to it, he always found it harder to get through the day when it rained. Today was no exception of course, but when he saw her, his day got infinitely better.
"hey Hiccup!" the young blonde yelled as she ran up to the blacksmith.
"hey Astrid" he replied with a smile.
She ran over to him and gave him a huge hug that almost knocked him over because of his prostetic leg. He returned the affection by giving her a deep kiss. He told Gobber he was done for the day and Hiccup and Astrid left the shop hand-in-hand. They walked over to the seaside and walked along the shore, marveling at the oceans beauty.
"Hiccup?" Astrid asked
"Ya?" he replied
"Do you ever wonder if there are other villages out there, with more people and maybe even dragons of their own?" she asked, gazing out at the vast ocean in wonderment.
"Sometimes...I never really thought about it that much, I mostly think about you all day" he said witha smirk, trying to see if Astrid would fall for his flirting.
She did. Her cheeks turned slightly red and she giggled in embarrasement. This didnt last long until she grabbed his shirt collar, pulled him toward her and kissed him passionately. He returned the kiss egerly and they stood there for several minutes, just kissing. Later they sat down and looked out at the sea, talking about this and that. Eventually Hiccup built a fire when it began to get dark and they were laying on the sand, side by side, gazing at the stars above in awe.
"I love you" Hiccup said, putting his hand on Astrids.
"I love you too Hiccup" she said, looking at him and squeezing his hand, she looked into his green eyes and he could tell she really meant it. She kissed him so passionately right then that he knew that they would never be seperated, that nothing could come between their love and that there was no obstacle they couldn't overcome together. They lay there and lost track of the time, eventually falling to sleep in each others arms as the sun set on the island of Berk.
