Astrids POV

It had annoyed me. For so long.

Ever since Heather had landed on Berk for a trading trip with her parents, she seemed to stay longer than she intended. After a few weeks, she managed to convince her parents to let her stay on Berk. As soon as she thought she was alone…with Hiccup, she would flirt…with Hiccup. How Hiccup did not notice the constant touching, or the seductive tone in her voice I may never know. And now, I catch her flirting again…with Hiccup. But this time she is going to far. Heather has precariously placed herself very close to Hiccup while he is working in the forge. Her hands are slowly moving towards…well…down, and he doesn't seem to notice…or care. And I just can't take it.

"What the hell do you think your doing?!"

She looks up and gasps. We have had this kind of conversation before…it didn't work well for Heather. She slowly backs away towards the door of the forge and runs off, muttering something about chores. I run towards Hiccup.

"How do you not notice that!"

The confusion on his face says everything. Either he is covering up something, or he has no idea about what just happened

"What are you talking about Astrid? She asked me about how we make swords in Berk, and I was showing her the process. What is so harmful about that?"

"Did you not notice her hands?"

"No. What about them?"

"They were not making swords Hiccup…to put it lightly, she was trying to wake up a certain dragon…"

I put my emphasis on the word dragon to put my point across. Hiccup's eyes widen as he gets what I'm meaning. We may be 19, but this conversation has never been brought up between us. But right now, I'm so angry that I don't think I care.

"You thought…oh gods…Heather and me….what?"

He puts his hands in his head.

"I don't know what your talking about Astrid. Heather has never done anything…hang on, how long were you hiding there for?"

"About an hour."

He starts pacing.

"So an hour ago…what's the time…okay so she would have been here for about…yup…okay."

He does that for a bit before his eyes widen.

"Did you hear anything, like us talking?"

"No. I only saw what she was trying to do."

He shakes his head.

"You need to make sure you accuse the right person. I have no idea what Heather was doing, so you can go deal with that yourself. All I know, is that Heather brought up the topic of you and me, and she asked how that was going."

"And what was your answer?"

He walks towards me and puts his arms around my waist.

"I said that I couldn't be happier. The love of my life is mine, and I'm hers. There is nothing that can separate us."

I close my eyes and a tear falls down my cheek.

"Hiccup…"

"I love you Astrid. I have loved you for years, and nothing that Heather…or anyone else for that matter…can ever take that away. You are the only one for me Astrid."

"I love you to Hiccup."

And as I lean in to kiss him, he beats me to it. And I share a heartfelt kiss…with Hiccup. My Hiccup.
