She helped him up and dried her face. "How about we get dressed Hun, and we can go out." She kissed him, and got clean clothes from her dresser.
Hiccup snapped back to reality as she got off the bed. "Go, go where..?"
"I don't care, anywhere. The cove, the shore, the docks, hell, we could lay on the roof and look at the sky. I just want to be with you." She told him while she started changing.
"Uhhh.." Hiccup contemplated the idea. It sounded nice, but he was reluctant to wake up and become active. He felt like shit, which would be expected from dying not too long ago, and all he wanted to do was lay down and not move for a few weeks.
He forced his arms to lift himself off the bed, he was obviously still sore and stiff. "Sure.." He panted. "Let's go somewhere…how about the beach..?"
"I just want to feel the sun on my skin, and know that something's not trying to kill us. you've got to be exhausted, I know trust me, I wasn't even dead for as long." She buckled the belts on a purple skirt and pulled on a pair of shorts underneath, modest to a fault sometimes, and pulled off the t-shirt, covering herself while she looked for a bra. "we can just lay back, and relax, maybe I'll even give you another massage." She winked and laughed.
"I'd like that.." Hiccup admitted as he got up, remembering he was naked as the towel slowly began to fall off his waist. He scrambled to grab onto the falling towel, succeeding at the last moment. He looked up at Trinity and blushed severely with a sheepish smile. "Oops..forgot I was naked…"
She chuckled, almost forgetting that she didn't even have a bra on, she moved her arm to cover her mouth as she smiled. Then she realized she just flashed Hiccup. "I am SO sorry!" Her face turned a bright red as she retrieved a bra and struggled to clasp it, the red on her face growing darker with each second.
"Haha, it's okay Trin." He said sheepishly as he looked around, wondering where his clothes went. "Ummmm….?"
"Oh, I washed them. One… Sec… Damnit!" She let out a sigh of defeat "can you do the clasp for me? Please?" She turned so her back was to him "And then I'll get your clothes. Deal?" She could feel that her face was an embarrassing shade of red.
"Of course!" Hiccup said casually as he walked over and fastened her bra. He noticed her bra strap lengths were uneven, so he fixes those as well. "Better?" He asked.
"U-um, yes, t-thank y-you." She face was the color of a beet as she ran downstairs, grabbing his clothes from by the fire "They should be nice and warm." She told him with a smile.
"Mmmmm…" Hiccup said happily as he put his clothes up to his face. He smiled contently as the warmth showered his skin in kisses. "Thank you Trin." He said as he lowered his clothes from his face. "Just like how mother would warm up my pajamas when I was in the tub.."
She smiled kindly at him "I'm glad I could bring back good memories." She pulled out a blue tank top and slipped it on, then brushed out her hair.
He dressed himself quickly and wrapped his arms around himself, smiling happily as he drowned himself in childhood memories. "Warm clothes always were comforting.." He admitted.
Trinity stepped up to him and wrapped him in a loving embrace "Yeah… Thank you again, for coming back" she nuzzled into him as her hold tightened ever so slightly.
Hiccup put his arms around her lower back limply. "I, I didn't plan on leaving in the first place.."
"Either way, you're here now and that's what matters." She pulled back to look at him, and she leaned forward, kissing him. Trin moved her arms to loosely drape them over Hiccup's shoulders.
He returned the kiss passionately, grateful he was able to wake up. Why did he go back there..? He felt perfectly fine before he fell asleep….there's no logical explanation for his Spirit's actions, at least not now.
she was happy With Hiccup. Trin fiddled with the ring again and thought 'Im going to marry him. this is the wonderful man I'm going to spend my life with…' she pulled back and smiled pecking his lips once more "I love you more than you know, Hiccup."
"I love you too Trin… Now come on," Hiccup said as he lead her towards the door of her room. "The beach awaits!"
She giggled and followed him downstairs and out the door. "Well suddenly someone's excited about going out!" They walked through the plaza to get to the beach, but many people stopped and stared, silent muttering about things like 'wasn't he dead?' 'He looks like he's still dead.' but one worried trinity deeply 'What witchcraft does that girl partake in?' she held Hiccup's hand tighter. "Please, no. Not again…" she quietly said to herself.
"Just ignore them, Trin. They don't know what I had to do…" He whispered as he squeezed her hand comfortingly. He was well aware that he looked dead, he still felt halfway gone as well….but was it really that obvious?
Understanding his expression she looked him up and down "you only look a little sick to me, some down time in the sun might help." She held his hand tighter. 'Witchcraft, why am I always accused of it? Alchemy, yes, witchcraft, no.' She smiled convincingly at him, but still worried.
"Yeah…Let's go." Hiccup said uncomfortably, distant as he walked quickly, leading her away from the plaza and more towards the docks.
They were both uncomfortable, it was easy to tell. "You should ignore them too." She looked down. "I-I don't believe it! Hiccup you're alive!" They both turned and looked as Astrid ran at them, pulling him into a hug. Trin wasn't to fond of Astrid, but she had to suck it up. If Astrid was Hiccup's friend, she could be her friend too, right?
Astrid jumped up on him as she embraced him around the throat, causing him to lose his balance. He fell on his back with a large thud on the concrete, causing him extreme discomfort and pain. "Agh! God!" Hiccup exclaimed through gritted teeth as the pain set in. Astrid got off of Hiccup and got to her feet, brushing off her skirt as if she was the one that got hurt. "Sorry." She said, only halfway meaning it.
Trinity shot a glare at Astrid. "Why on earth would you do that!" She rushed to Hiccup's side to help him up. "What? I said I was sorry." Astrid replied. "It matters if you mean it." She grumbled under her breath. "Come on, Hun."
"No, wait." Hiccup said as he stopped Trinity, looking over at Astrid. "Did you hear the amazing news?" Hiccup asked, holding Trinity's hand and fiddling with her ring.
Astrid just looked at the two and noticed Hiccup's mother's ring. "What's she doing with your mother's ring?" Trinity caught on to what Hiccup was doing. "You really don't know?" She hugged his arm with a smile on her face. Astrid was frustrated "Know. What."
"Hiccup looked at Trinity, then back at Astrid; bouncing on his heels. "I asked her to marry me…she said yes! Isn't that amazing!" Hiccup asked excitedly.
A look of disgust crossed her face, but it was gone in a flash. "You want to marry her? But Hiccup, she not normal." Astrid put her hands on her hips. Trinity was clearly hurt by this. "I didn't see you trying to save or take care of him, or see you worry while he saved Berk. You even had no tears to shed when he died!" Astrid looked at Hiccup "Ohhh, you're marrying her because she brought you back. Makes sense."
Hiccup's smile fell immediately at Astrid's question. When she accused him of only loving her because she saved him, he snapped. "Okay, no. You listen here you little bitch." Hiccup spat as he let go of Trinity's arm and approached Astrid, pointing his finger at her as he spoke. "You don't know shit, Astrid! Yeah she's different, but that's what makes her stand out to me. She's unique, and I love that. I asked her to marry me before I went out to fight to save your ass! The thought of me dying did not once cross my mind! Maybe if your head wasn't so far up your ass, you would've seen me do it!" He said hatefully at her, making her cower and back down almost immediately.
"You changed the moment you met her, and not for the better." Trinity had only known her for two days and was tired of her already. "no. He didn't change, you just wish you made a move when he still had feelings for you." She stood up and brushed herself off. "I'm not asking for your blessing, but if you're Hiccup's friend you'll at LEAST support him."
Hiccup wrapped his arm around Trinity and began to gesture walking away. "She's NOT my friend…not anymore.." He said coldly before turning around, leaving Astrid stung by his words.
Astrid stared after the couple as they walked away. "are you sure? I don't want to destroy a friendship…"
"Positive." Hiccup said simply. "No one insults my fiancé and gets away with it. No one."
"Hicc, I'm used to it. You don't need to cut off a friend." She looked down, then back up at him "I don't care what others think." That was a lie and she knew it.
"Well I DO." He said sternly. "Don't worry about it. She wasn't that great of a friend anyways.." He admitted.
She held his hand and entwined their fingers "thank you, for standing up for me." She smiled sadly as they walked to the beach.
"It's fine, really. I-" he cut himself off as he looked to his left onto the beach, his blood still covering the rocks and the sand around them. The sight of it made his stomach churn, making his grip on Trinity's hand become tighter as he grew dizzy at the sight. "Oh…ugh…" Hiccup muttered. His faint color that was to his face was gone again, making him look absolutely dead as his mouth hung open slightly.
She squeezed his hand in return. "It's okay, we can go back home, and draw." She smiled understandingly
"N-n-no, it's fine. I'm fine!" Hiccup said as he turned around to look at her. "It just…caught me off guard. Besides, the sun feels nice…" Hiccup said distantly, still in shock at the sight of his blood still being all over that part of the beach.
She lead him away from the sight, and to a different part of the beach more secluded. The sand felt softer and the sun warming and kind. She sat down on the sand, gently pulling Hiccup down with her. "You are so strong, to handle all of this." She kissed him lovingly "And I'm glad, that you chose to be with me."
"I….I don't know if I'm handling it, or if I'm just dealing with it…" Hiccup admitted distantly, looking off over the ocean's horizon.
"Either way, it still requires a lot of strength to get through this." She put her arms around Hiccup and pulled him close, running a hand through his hair.
Hiccup closed his eyes as he let her run her hand through his hair. It felt nice, made him feel safe. "Why..why am I so tired all the time..?" he mumbled faintly.
"You were….. Gone, for a pretty long time. Maybe your body needs to relax and readjust." She rocked him slightly as she played with his hair.
"I feel…half empty." He admitted after a moment of listening to the tranquility of the waves crashing upon each other further out in the ocean. "Like, a part of me is missing? I dunno..I just feel….odd."
"Half empty?" Trin was completely confused "any way at all to describe it? Is there anything I can do?"
"Like….gah. I don't know how I can explain it.." He said somberly as he looked her in the eyes.
"hold still." She placed her hands at the base of his neck, and looked into his eyes, her's lighting up while his slowly did with her's. Trinity gasped "Hiccup, half of your soul is- is gone!"
"What are you talking about Trin?"
"I-I don't know, half of it is just gone!" Slowly their eyes returned to normal. She sat back slightly and bit her knuckle in thought "Maybe…"
"How is half of my soul just gone? Does this mean, I'm still dead? How is that even possible?"
"m-maybe I can give what you need from mine. Or at least meld them together." She knew he probably wouldn't like the idea but it was worth telling him.
"What!? No! You're not going to give up a part of you just so I can more than half a soul. No way in hell!" Hiccup exclaimed desperately, obvious that he was terrified.
"Then we mix them!" She fired back, he was scared, and she knew it. "Please, please let me help you Hiccup. I can do this." She looked at him pleadingly.
"This isn't a question I can easily answer!" Hiccup snapped back in retaliation. "Ugh….I'm sorry..just, give me some time to think about it okay..?"
She nodded. "I understand Hiccup." She smoothed his hair back , and out of his eyes
"Thank you…" He said somberly as he leaned down to rest his head in her lap. He felt guilty for snapping, but he wasn't going to let her give some of herself away just so he could feel better….Hiccup sighed and closed his eyes, nuzzling his head deeper into her thighs so that he could relax. "Sorry…"
"Don't be. You were just worrying about me." She kept running her hands through his hair. "You know connecting our souls won't hurt, or take anything away from me…"
"Just give me some time, okay?"
"of course."
Hiccup smiled as the sun's rays penetrated his pores, calming him down and making him feel happy. "You're my best friend, Trin."
He really meant it when he said it. She wasn't only his fiancé, she was his soulmate, his rock, his…everything.
"And you're mine. I truly love you more than anything." She had never had someone who cared so much for her.
"You better, we've been to Hell and back in a short span of time. If me not giving up on you didn't make you fall for me, like I did you, I'd be thoroughly offended." He said amusingly, looking up at her and smiling playfully.
"oh really?" She smiled "Well you're my knight in shining armor, of course I fell for you, and hard too." She leans down and rubbed her nose to his.
"Knight in shining armor?" Hiccup asked skeptically. "Well I dunno if you could say THAT…"
"Oh please, how many times have you saved me? You are my knight." She held onto him tightly "You will always be my knight."
Hiccup chuckled slightly, lifting his chin up to kiss her lips. This was perfect. Laying on the beach on a warm Summer day with his Fiancé, he couldn't possibly fathom a more pleasant situation.
Then the doubt strolled in, making him wonder how long this string of good luck will last before something terrible happens again. He was not sure if things would go bad, but he always had a feeling that it will whenever he was happy.
She kissed him back passionately and lovingly. Trinity couldn't think of anything better than spending the rest of her life with Hiccup, she loves him more than anything. "Just thinking of being yours for the rest of my life makes extremely happy." She kissed him again, slightly more heated.
"Me t-" Hiccup said as she leaned in, their lips locking in a somewhat heated kiss making him shut up. His eyes slid shit instantly, falling for her warmth.
She smiled into the kiss, if only this moment could last forever. They separated for a moment to catch their breath before their lips connected again.
When their lips finally parted, he held her face as he spoke. "I love you.."
She laid hand on his cheek "I love you too." Trinity smiled softly and happily at her spouse to be.
They looked at each other for a moment until the waves crashed onto the shore, soaking hiccup's clothes up to his knees. "Ah damnit!" He exclaimed as he lifted his head. He sighed then looked back at Trinity. He smiled after a moment, an idea popping into his head. He looked around the beach; empty.
"Wanna go for a dip?" He asked mischievously with a smirk while raising an eyebrow.
She smiled back at him. "That sounds nice." She breathed in as a warm breeze blew over the beach.
"Sweet!" Hiccup said as he hopped to his feet, looking around the beach again before he began to take off his clothes.
She blushed and started undoing the buckles on her skirt, stripping down to her underclothes.
Hiccup swept her off her feet and walked towards the water. The water was up to his calves when he stopped. "The water's cold, I hope I don't, you know, drop you!" He said mischievously as he let his arms fall, dropping her into the water.
"no- No!" she shrieked giggling as she hit the water. Trin popped up and pushed her wet hair from her eyes "Jerk!" She shouted playfully, then grabbed his hand pulling him down with her.
"Whoa!" He exclaimed before his face hit the water. He got up and ran a hand through his hair, using his other one to splash her in the face.
Trin sputtered and wiped the water from her face. She quickly hooked one leg around Hiccup's and flipped him on his back, brushing his hair from his eyes.
Hiccup laughed genuinely as they played in the ocean. He hasn't had this much fun doing something so simple since he was just a little runt. He enjoyed the fact that, even though he was no longer one, he could still act like a four year old around his fiancé and not have to worry.
He was happy.
"I love it when you laugh! It's soft and sweet." She smiled happily before tackling him down into the water with a melodic laugh
His head broke the water's surface and he laughed. He got to his feet and looked Trinity in the eyes. A second later, he jumped into the air, wrapping his arms around her neck and locking his feet around her waist. He lowered his head onto her shoulder, breathing heavily in her ear.
"I could not ask for more.."
He surprised her when he jumped up and latched onto her neck and waist, but she wrapped her arms around him as well. Trinity blushed as he whispered into her ear. "Hiccup, you're the best thing to ever happen to me." She replied quietly, she turned her head and lightly kissed below his ear.
"Good!" Hiccup exclaimed as he jumped off of her, resting his hands on her shoulders. They turned their heads to the left to see Toothless, squirming on the sand and whining excitedly.
Trinity giggled at the large reptile. "You wanna come play too?" she smiled and threw her arms around Hiccup.
Hiccup smiled as Toothless came splashing towards them, raising a defensive arm above Trinity's head when Toothless splashed them with his wing. "Whoa bud, calm down!"
Trin laughed, thoroughly soaked, with a big smile on her face. She swept back her hair, bright red turned dark from the water, and pet Toothless' nose. Trinity cupped some water in her hands and splashed Hiccup's face before running.
"Hey! Get back here!" Hiccup yelled. "Toothless! After her!" He said, hopping onto Toothless's back and pointing in Trin's direction. Toothless took off in the water, catching up to Trinity with minimal effort as Hiccup laughed. "You can't out swim a Night Fury, babe!" He yelled over the water so she could hear him.
When the water was too deep to run she hoisted herself onto Toothless, grabbed Hiccup, and pulled him over, sending them tumbling to the water.
"Ah!"
Hiccup didn't have enough time to hold his breath and hit the water, sinking with Trinity as they sank deeper into the water. He struggled to break free from her grip, but she didn't know that he wasn't playing around. It finally dawned on her that he wasn't messing around when he jerked his head backwards, letting the little air that he had in his lungs expel from his mouth as it opened and his eyes started to close.
He was drowning, and the surface of the water was rather far away. She needed to get his head back to the surface, and fast.
When she pulled him off, she hadn't realized how close to the sand bar they were because they could stand there. The pair slipped off of the sand bar and sank in the water, it took a few seconds to realize Hicc hadn't gotten a breath that he needed, and she was quickly running out of the little air she had. Trinity scrambled to pull the both of them to the surface, the horror of their first day flashing through her mind.
Hiccup's head broke the surface and he gasped loudly, coughing out water from his lungs as Toothless picked them both up and out of the water. The dragon set them back on the sand, both on their backs. Once Hiccup was able to stop coughing, he grabbed Trinity's hand and looked in her direction. "You…you okay..?"
She had taken in a gasp of water when she was close to the surface, causing her to be unresponsive on the beach.
"T-Trinity..?" He said when she failed to respond. "Trinity!"
He got to his knees almost instantly, beginning to form CPR immediately. "C'mon c'mon!" He yelled through gritted teeth as he did his compressions. Toothless approached them and whimpered. "Don't just sit there, get help! GO!" He screamed at his dragon before continuing CPR. "C'mon Trin, you gotta be okay..I came back for you! You can't leave me now! That's not fair!" He yelled hysterically.
She sputtered and coughed, her body trying to expel the water. The water trickled from her mouth before she had a coughing fit, ejecting the rest of the water. She gasped and wheezed, pulling much needed oxygen into her lungs.
"Oh thank god!" Hiccup yelled as he picked up her torso and embraced her tightly, his tears going unnoticed.
She held onto Hiccup. "Not gonna get rid of me that easily." She replied with a small smile. "I-I'm fine Hicc, really-" she coughed a little. "Just choked a bit, thank you for saving me. My knight"
He patted her back as she coughed, like how a mother would burp her infant after a feeding. He chuckled slightly when he called her his knight, placing a kiss on the side of her face as her chin rested on his shoulder. "I'm so glad you're safe…"
"I'm glad that I have you looking out for me." she rubbed his back before continuing "C'mon. We can't let this ruin our fun, we earned some down time." She stood up, his hand in her own.
"What kind of fiancé would I be if I wasn't looking out for you?" He asked with a smile as she helped him up. He was stiff getting up, causing his leg a little bit of strain. "Ow…" He muttered as he looked down to his prosthetic; rusted.
"Damnit..I'll have to scrape that off later.." He said as Toothless came back with Snotlout. "You guys okay..?" He asked.
When she heard the other male Trinity squeaked, yeah she'd forget some of her modesty for Hiccup, but that was different. She quickly stepped behind him, her hands on his shoulders "I-I'm fine now."
Hiccup placed his left hand on her right as it rested on his shoulder, a way of comfort. "Okay good…I'll just be leaving now." Snotlout said. "Okay, thanks Snotlout." Hiccup said as the muscular teen walked away. Toothless walked up and nudged his head near Hiccup's shoulder. "Haha don't worry buddy," he said as he placed a hand on his snout. "She's okay."
Trin huffed when he left. "Yeah, I'm okay buddy. Promise." She scratched the dragon's nose, and looked at Hiccup. "Now what?"
"Well as much as I'd LOVE to get on Toothless and go to Athens, we might wanna stick around and help clean up the place a bit…"
