Hey look, I'm alive! I told you guys I'd post soon, didn't I? Anyway. A very, very short HiccupxAstrid oneshot to begin to make up for the months I've been basically dead. I'm freaking addicted to this movie. I've seen it a grand total of nine times. NINE. And it never gets old. I love this couple and I want my own Toothless for my birthday. I'm rambling, aren't I? I'll do the disclaimer and shut up so you can read. And don't forget to review!
And yeah, I know I never really mention names here - she refers to Astrid, he refers to Hiccup, obviously. This is set maybe a year or two in the future, not that it really matters all that much. Anyway. Read and review!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own How To Train Your Dragon or any of the characters within.
It was strange, what she did to him.
Sometimes, she made him feel like nothing else in the world mattered – just him and her, nothing else.
Sometimes, it was the opposite – he felt like everything in the world mattered and if he didn't do everything exactly right something terrible would happen.
It was at those times that she acted as his anchor.
She kept him attached to the earth, didn't let him seclude himself or shut himself down.
He could, if asked, easily tell someone, without a moment's hesitation, when he ad first fallen in love with her.
It was during a short period of time when he had lost all hope – he had been stripped of almost everything he held dear.
"You've lost everything – your father, your tribe, your best friend."
Her voice had been sad, almost defeated, as she spoke.
No one understood why it was that at this moment he knew he loved her.
He couldn't explain it to them.
They weren't there to hear the unspoken but you haven't lost me that had passed between them.
And he knew now that he never would.
Just as she was his anchor, he was hers.
