READ ON!
Day 25: Gazing Into Eachother's Eyes
Hiccup's POV:
I was happy… ecstatic even. We won our last battle against Viggo and Ryker. We were able to kidnap Ryker even! Now we can make a fair trade.
I was hanging out with the group in the clubhouse as we celebrated. Snotlout was able to get his hands on some mead.
I sat at the table smiling to myself as everyone was dancing. Heather was being fought over by Snotlout and Fishlegs to dance. Astrid was able to steal Heather away. Ruff and Tuff were surprisingly playing music for us to dance to.
I laughed at the site as I looked down at the mat. We could win now. Viggo may by smart, but definitely wasn't strong. That was a weakness. He relied on his wits.
Then Astrid took a seat down next to me. She smiled. "Come on, let's celebrate! You can look over this map later."
I chuckled. "Are you drunk?"
She giggled. "Little bit. Come on! Let's have some fun!"
I sighed but got up. She jumped happily and dragged me to the dance floor.
I swung her around a lot and she kept smiling at me.
I said, "You know, I never usually dance."
"Really? You make an excellent dancer." She stated.
I smiled. "Why thank you milady."
As I spun her around she asked, "Can I tell you something?"
"Of course."
"I really care about you." Astrid said and we stopped. "As in more than a friend. I guess I have for a really long time now."
She smiled as I took her hand. I spun her around and said, "I like you too Astrid. I'm sorry I didn't tell you-"
"It's okay." Astrid said as we danced. "We were both busy with Viggo and Ryker."
I laughed, "Yeah. Now though, I know we're going to win. And I got to save the dragon and obtained another thing."
"What's that?"
I pulled her close to me. "Because I got you."
She smiled and I looked into her eyes. Her eyes were deep blue like the ocean. How many times have I looked into these eyes? When she was mad they turned icey. If Astrid was happy they turned just like the sky. They looked as if she held the universe.
They were the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. A while ago, I remember hearing something. A viking said that his wife had a galaxy in her eyes, and a universe her mind.
I wonder what I looked like in her eyes…
Astrid's POV (A little bit ago):
I was dancing around with Heather. I just saved her from Snotlout and Fishlegs.
I was watching Hiccup hunch over his work with a smile. Heather caught me looking and said, "Go dance with him!"
"What? No." I said.
Heather sighed, "Oh come on! Go get him, and tell him you love him."
"I-I can't do that."
"I thought you were fearless."
I sighed and looked at him again. I stated, "We're just friends."
"'Just friends' don't look at each other like that." Heather stated.
I turned to her and huffed. She pushed me over, and I quickly finished the mead I had. I walked over to get Hiccup dance.
Once we were dancing, we started talking. Then as he spun me around, I finally decided to say it.
"Can I tell you something?" I asked biting my lip.
"Of course." He replied.
We stopped dancing. I turned to face him and look him in the eye. I don't know if it was the mead, but I wasn't scared anymore. I wanted to be with him.
"I care about you. As in more than a friend. I guess I have for a really long time now." I said while smiling.
Hiccup beamed at me. He had that cute little smile, and he continued to spin me around.
He started to say, "I like you too Astrid. I'm sorry I didn't tell you-"
I cut him off, "It's okay. We were both busy with Viggo and Ryker."
We danced around some more and laughed. Then Hiccup continued to say, "Yeah. Now though, I know we're going to win. And I got to save the dragon and obtained another thing."
I asked, "What's that?"
"Because I got you."
I smiled and turned around to face him. He beamed at me, but I wasn't focused on his smile anymore. I liked his green eyes. They were forest green just like Toothless'. They were always full of joy, curiosity, and a need for an adventure. They made my heart beat faster every time they landed on me.
He had beautiful eyes, the kind you could get lost in. And I guess I did.
I didn't notice we were leaning in, but suddenly his lips were on mine. I put my arms around his neck as his went around my waist.
I pulled away and he whispered, "Would you like, maybe, to be my girlfriend?"
I bit my lip and nodded. He kissed me again.
"When you're looking for a partner, fall in love with their eyes cause eyes are the only things that don't age, so if you fall in love with their eyes you'll be in love forever."
