Hiccups POV

Astrid was more awesome in person than I thought. I couldn't get enough of her. I really couldn't. Now that she knew about me, I had no need to hide from her, which was great. I was now knocking on her window whenever I would come to her room, I would wave at her whenever she was in the garden and I would show her more and more of the forest to her. I love seeing her eyes shine with wonder and happiness when I would show her something incredible.

I smiled and felt that feeling in my chest when I remembered when I took her to the crystal cave deep beneath the ground. It was dark and she panicked a little, but I calmed her down by holding her for her hand, God that felt good. I wanted to impress her. I led her to the center of the cave, where a giant piece of crystal was. She couldn't see it, but I had that covered. I blew fire on the crystal and it shined with bright colour she told me it was called blue, illuminating the entire cave . I malted when I heard her gasp and saw wonder in her eyes. What was this feeling? I wanted to ask her, but something was telling me not to.

Astrid was now coming almost every day, and if she wouldn't, I would come to her. We would sit on her bad for a long time, talking, laughing and sharing knowledges. I was telling her about me and my history, and she would tell me about her life, friends, family, school... All those things I longed for. She was teaching me how to read, write and count, and let me tell ya, it's not easy. Especially counting. My brain would hurt so much, so she decided to teach me basics. I didn't complain, I mean, where would I even use this?

''Astrid, if I was a human... What would I be like?'', I asked her one time. We were just laying on the grass near the waterfall, talking and listening nature around us. She was fitting in really good.

''What do you mean?''

''Well, you said that you're the most popular girl there in school, you'te training self-defence, you have good grades... What would I be? What class? High or low?'', that was the classification of dragons. You are either low, or high. Kill or be killed. So many choices to make, I know.

There was a silence for a few minutes. I guess she was thinking. I turned my head and looked at her. Her hair was so shiny on the sun and that feeling was there again. Than my eyes fell on her lips. I had no idea why, but I had a big urge to touch them. They looked so soft, shiny, warm and perfect. I touched my lips with my finger. My were soft too, but just like the rest of my skin, they weren't human like.

''Well, you look like you could be really fast runner. And you're smart. You would be known as a nerd. Speedy nerd, that would probably be your nickname.'', she said.

''Is that good?''

''Um... Well, no, but you would be popular around girls.''. I raised my eyebrow. I would?

''How come?''

''You're really cute.''. Cute? Was that also good? It had to be. True to be honest, I never cared was I good-looking or not. I am humagon, so who cared. But now...

''Um, thanks... And you're also cute.'', I said to her. I saw red colour hitting her cheeks and I wondered why.

''Why are you suddenly red? Are you ok?''

''Huh? Oh, that... It's just cause of the compliment, nobody ever told me that I'm cute...''. I was shocked.

''Than other humans sure as hell are blind.''

I was woken up by the itchy feeling in my tail. It was so strong I felt like I was on fire. I clenched my teeth while rubbing my tail. I hated when this would happen. Wel, me and every other dragon. I plunged my claws in it, for a moment sitting the pain, but only a moment. I finally gave up and went for the lake across the cave, and dumped my tail in the cold water. All I had to do is sit there for the next few hours. Yes, I finally learnt hours. I am pretty proud on myself. Astrid even got me a watch, which I was wearing on my wrist. It was green and brown, my favorite colors.

I knew what itching meant. I was hatched, I mean born on this day. Every dragon knows when is the day that he or she hatched by itching in the tail. I was no difference. And like every day when itching would wake me up from the perfectly good dream of me flying with Astrid, the stars would fall. I loved that. Stars would be falling, leaving silver trace. Me and Toothless would fly high to catch a better view. I felt really special than. I would be one year older. The dragons are counting the ages by the scars on the tail. You see, while itching, we would always leave a mark. The more marks you have, you're older.

Then it hit me. I never took Astrid flying! Ah, I was so stupid! I need to fly with her. I wanted to do that for years. And now, when I finally can show myself to her without fear, I can! My mood perked up. The very thought of watching the falling stars with her in the air made my heart race. I loved that feeling! I lay on the ground, enjoying it. Like soaring...

Astrid's POV

Hiccup said that he has a surprise for me tonight. Mind as well see. My plan was coming to the end, just as soon as he tells me where is his brother, I'll alert the hunters. My time has come. I will be famous, remembered, and above all, worthy of my name.

I got out of the house and walked into the forest. Fireflys were illuminating my way, and nocturne flowers were marking my way. I loved this forest, I really did. It was so magical. I think I will be coming here a lot after capturing him... On which my stomach slinked. Guh, no emotions, Astrid! Hunter, hunt! Remember. That.

I came on our usual meeting place and saw him waiting for me, sitting in lotus position on the tree. His wings were folded and he was looking at something. He looked SO good... PREY!

''Hey Hiccup!'', I said. He smiled and jumped on the ground when he saw me, and came to me.

''Hey... You know how I said I have a surprise for you?''

''Yup. That's why I came.''. Why did he looked so nervous?

''Do you trust me, Astrid?'', He asked.

''Um, yes. Why?''.

He took in a deep breath. What was he up to?

''Astrid... close your eyes... And please don't be scared, I promise there is no reason to.''.

''Hiccup, what's going on?'', I asked with my 'tone'.

''Just trust me, ok?''. No, not the eyes. I hated when he would look at me with those magical eyes.

I sighed and closed my eyes, I heard him moving behind me. I was about to ask him what was he doing when suddenly I felt his hands on my shloders. His touch was so warm and gentle I melted.

''It's gonna be fine, you have no reason to be afraid.'', he whispered, and then I felt his hands wrapping around my waist. Just as I was about to protest and back of, I was no longer feeling ground beneath me. Was he... No way! No way in hell!

''Hiccup what the''

''Astrid please, trust me. I won't let you fall, just keep your eyes closed for a little bit.'', he pleaded. I swallowed and nodded my head.

After a few minutes, he finally told me to open my eyes. I did and shocked. We were in the air, very high above the ground, and I almost stopped to breth.

But then, I noticed something else. The beauty. The falling stars. The view. The freedom. The warm, amazing, loving touch around me. It was amazing. I heard him holding his breath. It was so cute!

''Hiccup... This is amazing! The coolest thing ever!'', I exclaimed. He sighed with happiness and felt his nose in my hair, probably full of relief. Chills went through me.

''I'm glad you do... I wanted to do this for ages. Take you on flight. See thing from my perspective.'', he whispered. It was so beautiful.

We were stargazing for some mote time, than I wanted to do something. I wanted to see his eyes. His magical, unrealistic eyes.

''Hiccup, turn me around. '', I said to him. He did it. I look at him. His hair was going in all directions due to the wind, and his eyes. Oh my God. his eyes. I could see stars in them. He was so handsome... Hunter, Prey, hunter, Prey, Hunter, Prey...

''Astrid...'', he whispered. Then I felt something. His heart was beating like crazy. Then he... He must... Oh boy... Hunter, Prey... Oh, fuck it!

I leaned my lips on his.

Aw, wasn't romantic?

See ya next time!
