Summary: A storm hits Berk causing everyone to seek shelter in their homes, everyone except Hiccup who was out on patrol when it hit. Hiccup landed and knocked on the door that was the closest to him not knowing who's door it really was. (The characters might be a little ooc and normally I hate that and wouldn't post it but it's super fluffy and I think it turned out cute! Dt: Blairy cuz she wanted this one!)

It was exactly how the weather on Berk was supposed to be like. Wet. Cold. Rainy. Foggy. And overall just a gloomy day for any of the Vikings who call Berk their home.
The Chief of Berk; Hiccup Haddock, was on patrol this morning when the bad weather set in, it came hard and fast. Toothless struggled to fly in the wind, And Hiccup could barely see what was right in front of him with the rain blowing in his face. He didn't need his rider to tell him to head back, it took him longer then it would to reach the village since they were on the far side of the island, but eventually they landed. Hiccup was drenched as was Toothless although his dragon didn't mind as much as his rider.
Hiccup hurried to get off Toothless and tried to walk to his hut. The rain was heavy and it made Hiccup's vision blurry. He found the nearest hut and knocked on the door seeking shelter.
The girl inside was next to the fire, along with her Deadly Nadder. She heard a knock on the door and wondered who would be crazy enough to go outside in this weather.
"Hiccup?" Astrid asked when she opened the door and saw him standing there wet.
"A..Astrid?" Hiccup asked stunned. "Uh.. I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was your hut." He added and went to turn around but Astrid stopped him.
"Come in babe, you're all wet." Astrid stated and opened the door wider. Hiccup and Toothless slid past Astrid into her warm hut, he was relieved to be out of the storm.
"What were you doing out there?" Astrid asked giving him a blanket to dry off with.
"I was out on patrol with Toothless when the storm came out of nowhere." He explained glancing over at Toothless who was already curled up next to his friend by the fire.
"Wasn't it Snotlout's turn to do that?"
Hiccup chuckled. "Yea.. He asked me to do it today because he had.. priorities."
"That mutton head gets away with everything." She mumbled as Hiccup moved closer to the fireplace. "This feels nice." He said wrapping the blanket closer to his body in attempt to warm himself.
Astrid saw him shiver and sat down next to him. She got closer and Hiccup let his arm drape over her shoulders. Astrid smiled and leaned into him a bit.
A comfortable silence came over them. Astrid closed her eyes for a moment just enjoying her time with Hiccup. He had been busy lately with all his chiefly duties. She was grateful that he accidentally knocked on her hut.
"Hey Astrid?" Hiccup asked. "Yea?" She replied with her eyes still closed.
"Where do you think we will be in a few years?"
Astrid eyes opened, She was surprised by his question but answered it after a moment
of thought.
"Well.. We will probably be married, live in a nice hut, and maybe.. even have a.. um... child." She said cuddling closer to Hiccup.
"A..a child?" Hiccup questioned. "Uh Yea." Astrid whispered embarrassed that she brought that up. Why couldn't she have left that part out?
"I didn't know you wanted to be a mother." Hiccup asked looking down at her.
The girl sighed. "I didn't before, but now.. I want to." Astrid answered turning her head into his chest.
"What changed?" Hiccup asked curiously.
"You." Astrid mumbled looking down shy. Only Hiccup could bring out this side of her, the vurnable, sweet and shy one. His was the only one other then Stormfly she shared it with, but her dragon isn't a person.
Hiccup smiled at her response. He knew they both meant a lot to each other, but Hiccup found a new love for Astrid because she wanted to be a mother because of him.
"We could teach her how to ride dragons, and she would take after you." He daydreamed.
"Her?" Astrid asked. "Yes, her." Hiccup replied.
"What if we have a boy in the future?" Astrid asked rasing a eyebrow.
"Well we could, but I've always thought we would have a girl." Hiccup said putting his hand on hers.
"The heir has always been a boy though, It is tradition, what would we do if she was a girl?" Astrid asked thinking to much as Hiccup chuckled at her. "We aren't ones to follow Viking traditions, if we had a girl I'll figure out something."
"Yea you always do." Astrid smiled. "But that's in the future. I want to focus on right now." She said and kissed him gently. Hiccup returned the kiss but broke it when Toothless let out a growl.
"Oh come on Bud." Hiccup laughed and leaned his head closer to Astrid. She started to braid little bits of his hair like she always did, something that was intimate between the two of them. But Hiccup pulled away and looked at her. "I love you Astrid."
She smiled at his words. "I know you do." She replied. Astrid knew she wasn't the typical girl to say I love you back, Hiccup knew that too. Which is why he wasn't bothered by it. She expressed her love for him in many other ways.
He brought his arm around her again, and they both fell asleep in each other's arm with by the warm fire, and their dragons sleeping soundly next to them.
Yes, it may have been a rainy, foggy, cold and windy day but to Astrid and Hiccup.. It was a day they spent with each other. Something that rarely happens now a days. And they were grateful for it.
