[ a/n; Here goes set three! This time from Astrid's point of view, generally on her relationship with Hiccup. I find her difficult to write but also extremely fun because there's just so many facets to her personality; once again, hope I did okay. Reviews are my favourite, and I love suggestions! Hope you like! c: ]
Set Number: 3
Pairing/POV: Astrid/Hiccup, Astrid's POV.
Dirt: Astrid loved it when Hiccup came out of the forge, singed and sooty- she thought it made him look older, tougher, and just so cute.
Toothless just loved to lick the boy clean.
Miracle: She was a realist; he was a dreamer. She was a fighter; he was a thinker. She would destroy anyone who meant her loved ones harm; he could talk anyone out of anything with his soft words and compassionate touch. He was better than her, and she knew it. A better person, and yes, a better Viking. She was nothing special. He was nothing short of a miracle.
Ice: Snotlout had once told her she had a heart made of ice; playfully, following one of her many rebukes to his romantic advances. He'd soon forgotten the comment, but she hadn't. Only later did she realize he had been right- when it dawned on her that one scrawny, talking fishbone of a boy had melted that frost right away.
Burn: In that moment, telling her he would keep the secret of the Dragon Nest quiet to protect his dragon, there was a fire in his eyes, blazing so strong she feared that if she took a step forward, she might find herself scalded- but in the end, it didn't matter. She didn't know how it had happened, or when, or why- but suddenly, she too was burning, in a very different way.
Flawed: Until he came into her life, all Astrid wanted was to be the ideal Viking in every way- strong, fearless, stubborn, and true. But it wasn't long before he taught her that true perfection, the realest beauty, was in the flaws. And to her, his flaws made him perfect.
Weak: Some days, she really thought she could hate him for what she had turned him into. He had softened her, opened her up, made her reveal things no one had ever known about her. And sometimes, she resented him for that. Then he would smile at her in that way and all the anger would disappear. He'd made her weak, and she still loved him for it.
