Okay, guys. I'm considering posting more chapters on this series but I'm not sure yet. If you would like to see more, review and let me know and I'll see what I can do. Also I love writing Hiccstrid but am running low on ideas. I'm good at these hurt/comfort fics if anyone has more suggestions I would be open to ideas. Thanks for reading and enjoy!
Astrid Pov
I watched Hiccup start food and make his way back to me. I collected enough energy to sit up. He sat down next to me, and gathered me into his arms. I nestled closer to him. He fidgeted a little next to me. I sat up and looked into his eyes seeing a little pain inside of them. I knew the most common cause of that look.
I glanced at his prosthetic. He had been wearing it all day at school, and it didn't look like he took it off to study either. I carefully watched his face as I reached down and gently prodded the area just above the stump. He tensed, but kept a straight face. I gently trailed my fingers a little lower and he flinched. I sighed before slipping out from his arms and collapsing my weary body onto the floor by his feet-or foot. He watched me suspiciously as I began to remove the prosthetic.
"Astrid" He sighed "it's fine" He tried to assure me. I ignored him and took the prosthetic off the stump. His leg was a little bit more inflamed than usual. I gently rested my hands on the stump. He flinched a little bit more violently.
"Hiccup" It was my turn to sigh. "Have you taken it off at all today?" I asked him. He looked at me guiltily and shook his head. I sighed again and ghosted my finger across the sore skin. He tensed for a moment knowing what I was going to do. I began to gently massage the stump. He hissed for a minute.
"I'm sorry" I murmured. He just clenched his eyes before going limp with relief. I hated the cause, but I loved that second reaction. He would just melt into my hands. I knew I was the only one he allowed to see the stump, much less touch it. He let me fight pain for him. I loved how much he trusted me. I waited until he was completely relaxed before I kissed his knee and moved away to make his prosthetic more comfortable.
"You're incredible" He murmured. I smiled over my shoulder at him.
I walked wearily over to a small chest and grabbed a bit more soft cloth to place in the top of the prosthetic. He got up off the couch and hopped over to the stove while I worked. He could manage rather well even without the prosthetic. I replaced the prosthetic by his usual chair as he dished out soup. I walked over to him to take the liquid from his hands before he attempted hop over to the table and burned himself. He gave me a grateful look before moving over to grab each of us a spoon. I set the bowls down as he took up residence in his usual seat.
I sighed contentedly, brushing a strand of hair behind my ear. I got him staring as I did so.
"What?" I asked, teasing him a little. He didn't stop staring. "Nothing, your just beautiful" He explained smoothly. I smiled and blushed. He finally stopped staring and turned back to his food.
"Thanks for taking care of me" I murmured shooting him a shy smile. He grinned happily back at me.
"Anytime" He said, giving my hand a gentle squeeze before we dug into our warm soup. He was my perfect Fiance. Gods I loved him.
