Chapter 4: alone time

I headed to Astrid's house to see if she was there. I only had today left and hopefully tomorrow night Astrid would be my fiancé! Today I wanted to spend some alone time with her. I always enjoyed spending time alone with Astrid, she made me happy. We always had fun and she always understood me. Just one of the many things I loved about her. Astrid walked out of her door just as I arrived.

"Hey what are you doing here?" She asked smiling at me.

"I came to see you."

"Am I really that important that you need to see me everyday?" She asked walking around to stormflys stable.

"Of course." I replied as I followed her.

We went into the stable and Astrid put the crate of chicken she was carrying on the floor infront of Stormfly and we watched her eat.

Astrid was standing beside me so I made my move. I slipped my hand around her waist and spun her around so she was flat against my chest. The buckles of my flight suit clinked as she pressed onto me. I tipped my head down and gently kissed her on the lips. She put her hands around my neck and kissed me back. I felt her lashes flutter against my cheek as she closed her eyes. The kiss grew deep and passionate and I felt her gently nip at my bottom lip. I would never get sick of kissing this beautiful girl in front of me.

We stayed like this for five minutes. We were so caught up Berk could have slipped into the ocean beneath our feet and we wouldn't even have noticed. When we finally pulled away breathless Astrid smiled at me. Gods she looked so beautiful, she surely was a goddess living on earth. The way the sunlight framed her her soft face as it came in through the the window. The way her hair shone gold in the light. I would never grow tired of seeing her gorgeous face and I couldn't wait for the days when we were finally wed and I could wake up every morning and the first thing I would see was her in all her beautiful glory.

Hand in hand we walked down to the docks. There were no boats at the port as they were all out fishing, trying to catch as much fish for the Snoggletog party as possible. We walked down to the docks and sat on the end. Astrid removed her boot and dangled her feet in the water. I did the same, we'll sort of, I removed my boot.

"I've been looking forward to spending some time with you."'Astrid said winking at me.

She continued.

"I can't wait for Snoggletog! I got you something and I can't wait to see what you think."

"I got you something too." I said smiling.

Astrid would be surprised when I gave her the present. Its definitely not what she would be expecting. I laughed to myself.

"What's so funny?" She questioned.

"Nothing."

"Ok then." She looked at me suspiciously. "Sometimes I don't know what goes on in that head of yours."

Astrid lent on me and we just sat there contently. Right up until Astrid said she was hungry. We headed up the hill to my house and went inside. I searched through through every cupboard until I found something edible. We had some smoked fish that was left from last nights dinner. I put a fish on each plate and handed one to Astrid. We began to eat.

The house seemed to be getting colder and it seemed almost instantly that it went from a kinda warm day to an absolutely freezing one. I saw snow start to fall outside the window. Just another normal day on Berk. I looked out the window and saw all the Vikings retreating to the warmth of their homes. Astrid started shivering. It gold cold in my house very quickly so I started up a fire and grabbed a blanket off my bed and brought it downstairs. I layed the blanket out in front of the fire and Astrid and I snuggled together underneath it.

"I love you." Astrid whispered to me.

"I love you too." I whispered back.

I'm not sure why we were whispering because no one else was here but something about this moment seemed too intimate to share aloud, however, my train of thought was interupted when I realised Astrid's breathing had slowed. She had drifted off to sleep in my arms. It made me think about how life would change. There would be many more moments like these if she said yes tomorrow and I couldn't wait.

I slowly drifted off to sleep myself.

xXx

I suddenly woke up to movement in my arms. I opened my eyes and looked out the window, it was daylight! I looked in my arms and saw Astrid. Did she stay here all night? Did we stay like this all night?

Astrid looked up at me through sleepy lashes and smiled. Suddenly her eyes snapped open.

"Crap! Did I stay here all night? I didn't mean to have a sleepover! Not that I didn't want to stay but I didn't mean to!"

"Its ok, your parents won't even notice your gone, just sneak home. Tell them you came home late."

"Ok well I-I have to go." She said as she hurried out of my door.

"Wow." I mumbled to myself as I ruffled my hair with my hand.

I got up off the floor and just as dad came in the door.

"Hello son, I came in last night and you were both asleep so I didn't think I should wake you. Astrids parents won't mind. So are you nervous? Today's the day."

Straight to the point

"I totally forgot, but now that you mention it, yea I'm freaking out."

"Youl'l be fine Hiccup. Don't worry about it. But seeing as your not busy this morning could you help me hang up the last of the decorations?"

"Sure thing."

xXx

I had finally finished helping my father putting up the last of the decorations. I headed to the forge to pick up the ring. Once I finally got there I headed straight to my desk and opened the draw. The ring was gone!

"Looking for this?" A familiar voice said behind me.

I spun around and was greeted by the face of Gobber. He had a huge grin spread across his face.

"Yeh should have seen the look on yeh face! Haha. Priceless." He wiped a tear out of his eye.

I shook my head but I couldn't help smiling. Gobber tossed me the ring.

"Good luck lad," he winked at me. "I'll be there."

I headed home and got ready. I wanted to look my best so I put on my formal blue tunic and wore my usual pants.

"How do I look?" I asked spinning to face Toothless.

He he blew some smoke out of his nose, snorted, curled up and fell asleep.

"Gee thanks for the help." I mumbled sarcastically.

I headed for the great hall with the ring in my pocket and the butterflies in my stomach.
