Hello everyone! The name's Nave, and this is my very first post. I just watched HTTYD a week ago and it was really nice, I'm looking forward for the TV series and the sequel. However It's not released yet and this is something I expect to have in it. A love triangle.

PLOT: My story started after the events in the movie, how Hiccup was sent back to Berk and how Hiccup and Astrid's relationship grew. However a Mysterious Girl (to be announced in the later chapters) came to Berk alongside is their tribe's army declaring Hiccup to be her's. Will Astrid allow this? Obviously not.

I do not own How to Train Your Dragon and all credits belong to Dreamworks Animations and Cressida Cowell.

A Love Triangle?

Chapter I: I might feel the same.

After the exhausting fight against the Red Death, most of the Vikings were relieved, whilst a few of them was worried as to where their hero might be. Everyone saw a Night Fury diving down while Red Death was in its tail, the Red Death fell and exploded to bits in the ground. The place was covered with ashes and dust.

As the fog thinned and the site was clear, Hiccup cannot be seen. There were traces of burned ships, incinerated rocks, and a black dragon which was the mount of their hero, but the latter was nowhere to be seen.

Stoick the Vast, leader of the Hairy Hooligans tribe went closer to the site but his son was nowhere to be found. He was confused and in a state of shock, guilt and regret.

"Why didn't I listen to him? Why didn't I trust him?" were the question gnawing up his mind bit by bit as his emotions was in a complete despair. He could only say one thing,
"I'm sorry son... I'm sorry" as he blames himself even more for the death of his only son.

Astrid was there, she saw everything except for one thing, and her chest ached as if it had been stabbed by a sharp knife. She knew something was wrong and ran as fast as she could to make her way out of the crowd.

She saw Stoick kneeling, with Hiccup nowhere to be found, her fears were right. She was like having a nightmare and desperately wants to wake up, she can't accept the fact, she wouldn't. Her eyes became spicy as if something's struck it, and for a long time after her father's death tears started to came out. She stopped it with all her might, she depended to no one for Astrid lost her dad when she was still a little child and her mother drowned her to training. She sacrificed everything to training without regret, but now she would give up anything just to get Hiccup back.

Toothless was satisfied to Stoick's apology; he shrugged, unveiling his master, Hiccup, lying beneath its wings. Everyone was glad, but Astrid just can't describe her happiness, there is no one much happier than her during that time. In a split second Astrid reminisce all the times, every memories, she had with Hiccup, from the time she went at the forge to get her axe sharpened and rebalanced, the jealousy she felt after losing to him in dragon training and the ride they shared with Toothless. She remembered all of it, and was very glad that she can make more memories with Hiccup.
Stoick picked him up and hurriedly check if Hiccup was breathing and if his heart was still beating.

"HE'S ALIVE!" Stoick shouted will all his might. Then he thanked toothless for bringing his son back to him alive.

"Assst…." Hiccup murmured.

"What is it son?"

"Astrid.. Astrid.. Astri…." Hiccup was thinking of Astrid all the time he was unconscious. After hearing it, Stoick called Astrid and asked her to take care of his son as he has a pretty large mess to clean up.

"I will gladly do it; I'll take him to the elder to be treated right away."

The beautiful blond Viking carried Hiccup in her arms effortlessly as she called her Deadly Nadder, Stormfly, for a ride.

"Astrid" Hiccup murmured again, this time with his face grin with pain.

"I'm here Hiccup, I'll never leave your side" Astrid reassured as she mounted on her dragon. All the ships were burned and the fastest way to help Hiccup is to travel by air.

The trip was nowhere near comfortable to Hiccup, and Astrid felt the same pain as she saw him moan in agony. As Hiccup try to reposition himself he opened his eyes. The breeze of the northern winds overflowing throughout his body was overwhelming. He felt relaxed as he look around he saw Astrid.

"I must be dreaming…"

"No you're not; you better prepare yourself for the punishment I'll give you for scaring me."

"I can see clouds, the beautiful blue sky, the radiant sunset; I must be floating right now, so this is how dying feels."

Astrid kept silent and focused on flying even faster.

"Astrid, I love you.." Hiccup murmured as he fell out of consciousness again.

Astrid blushed, then she clenched her fists "You're mean not letting yourself hear what I've got to say!"

She lifted Hiccup's face closer to her and gave Hiccup a gentle kiss on the cheeks. Then she whispered to him.

"I don't know if you can hear this, but, I already know how you feel and I might feel the same way for you too.."
