I believe this is one of my best stories I have written so far and I'm so proud of it. But sadly I will be taking some time off of writing this story to focus on my new story I just started writing Danny Phantom Getting Back Home. If you like Danny Phantom please give this story a shot. It will have almost all the characters from the series like Clockwork, Wulf and Skulker and maybe even Dani.

Hiccup woke to something or someone hugging his torso. He rubbed his eyes and glanced over. What he saw made his heart melt. Astrid was a cuddled up at his side and arm wrapped around his side. She looked so peaceful and doesn't look like she could easily cut you in half with her axe. Hiccup didn't think she couldn't get anymore beautiful than at this moment. His heart swells with love and pride for her. His thoughts were disrupted by a yawn.

He looks down and forest green eyes meet sky blue.

"Morning Milady" Hiccup whispered.

"Same to you babe."

Hiccup couldn't stop staring at her. Her braid was falling out and her bangs are covering one of her eyes.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Astrid suddenly getting defensive.

Hiccup lightly chuckled "Because your beautiful."

Astrid gave a small smile and her cheeks turned rosy "Hiccup."

"No wait I'm on a roll here don't interrupt me." Hiccup gave his signature goofy grin and sat up in bed.

"Every time I look at you Astrid you are so gorgeous and I think to myself that you can't get anymore beautifuler but the next time I see you you do and I don't know how that's possible."

"You know me I have to try to find all the answers but you are the only mystery that I can't figure out."

"I thank the Gods every single day for bringing you into my life."

"You inspired me on that day when I defeated the Red Death to go and save Toothless when I thought he was dead."

"I couldn't thank you enough for all hat you have done to help me."

"And I'm in love with you."

Hiccup gave a sheepish grin and shrugged his shoulders "Sorry."

He glanced down at Astrid who was on the verge of tears. She strokes his cheek and cups his face crashing her lips into his. This kiss is different from the ones they previously shared. This one is full of so much love and other emotions that could move mountains.

Hiccup gently pushes Astrid down so he is on top of her. He props his elbow up so he doesn't crush her. He runs his hands down her side and stop just above her hips where her shirt is riding up just enough to show her milky skin.

Astrid nips his lower lip begging for entrance which he happily agrees clashing for dominance. Astrid moves her hands under his shirt and let her hands roam up across his flat hard stomach and to his toned pectorals.

Hiccup changed a lot over the years he shot up in height making him almost as tall as his father his shoulder broadened. He still is a stick compared to the normal Viking standard but he developed muscle over the years curtsy of the forge and riding Toothless. He still isn't beefy like Snotlout or Fishlegs but Astrid prefers leanest over beefiest any day of the week. It's like the Gods made him this way so he could fly and that always amazes Astrid.

Her hands run up to his neck and rest in his hair. Running her fingers through his crazy auburn hair. She stops to play with one of his small braids at the nape of his neck that she did for him.

They break off the kiss to get some air and were about to dive right back in until a familiar pounding in the roof stopped them. They both flinch knowing the moment is over.

"Thank you for nothing you useless reptile." Hiccup groaned.

As if Toothless heard it he jumps on the roof harder. Astrid covers her mouth with her hand to hide her laughter.

"Would you care to take a morning flight with me Milady?"

Astrid sighs and runs one of her hands through his hair. "I would love to but I have to get home to my dad before he freaks out again."

Hiccup laughs at the memory. They both were at the cove stargazing when they both accidentally fallen asleep. Astrid's dad Alaric was so worried of his daughter that he went on a rampage with his axe. When they both got back to the village half of it was a mess and Alaric grounded Astrid for scarring him half to death and spending the night with Hiccup even though they did nothing. Alaric is still very protective of his daughter ever since he lost his wife/Astrid's mom in a dragon raid few years ago. The trip to the cove was just 2 years ago.

"Fine only because my dad will have my head if he finds out I kept you away from Alaric."

They shared a goodbye kiss and Astrid gathered her armor and tip toed out the door. To her relief no one was awake and she safely made it back home with out anyone noticing.

Hiccup waited a couple of minutes before putting on his prosthetic and buckling his flight suit on. He grabbed his helmet and left to greet Toothless. He was already at the front door waiting for him after Astrid left.

"Are you ready to go flying bud?"

Toothless wiggled and cooed giving a gummy smile.

"Hehe I thought so bud."

Hiccup mounted Toothless and clicked his foot in place. Toothless jumped in the air and started flying to the sea stacks at breakneck speed. Hiccup loved the feeling of air rushing past them weaving in between sea stacks and and rolling under a Thunderdrum's wing. Toothless leveled out in the clouds.

Hiccup pulled the lever so Toothless and sole glide. He unclimbed his foot from the stirrup and slide off of Toothless. Hiccup started free falling. Toothless followed after him. The were now synchronized with each other.

Hiccup snapped his head over to look at Toothless who gasp him a gummy smile.

A few weeks later Hiccup was at the Mead Hall with the gang eating talking laughing. Gobber then came in with a scroll of paper.

"Hiccup!" Gobber bellowed waving his hook in the air.

"What is it Gobber?"

"This came for you." Gobber hobbled over to the table and held out the scroll.

Hiccup reluctantly took it. There was no seal sealing it together which was odd. He unrolled it scanning for a name.

"So who's it from?" Snotlout sneered getting annoyed.

"It's from Heather."

Well chapter 9 is done. I will be moving this story on a little faster because I'm kind of stalling. I am currently thinking about writing another HTYYD story after this one is done about Hiccup and Astrid going through parenthood. I would like to know what you think about it.
