After a few more weeks, Dad deemed it safe to go back home. At first Astrid was excited, but as we packed her excitement started to fade. She would pull out a piece of clothing put it up to her nose, breath in, then sigh. Something was wrong. After about the ump-teenth millionth sigh, I couldn't take it.

"What's wrong?" I asked. Astrid looked at me then back at the folded T-shirt she had in her hand.

"Oh nothing." She said heaving a heavy sigh.

"Astrid you have been sighing for the last two hours." I said coming over to her. "There is no way there could be nothing wrong."

"It's just... I don't even know why I am.. I just don't know." She said sitting on the bed putting her head in her hands. I sat down next to her and started to rub her back.

"Let's take this one step at a time then." I said. "What is the first thing that comes to your mind?"

"I am happy to go home and see my parents and siblings." She sighed.

"But?" I asked. Astrid sighed again.

"But I don't want to leave." She said.

"Why don't you want to leave?" I asked.

"I know your parents are here and all, but I was still the one who did the cooking and the cleaning. I was still taking care of you, but once we get back I..." She stopped and I could tell she wasn't going to continue. I knew what she was going to say. I smiled and kissed her temple.

"Astrid," I started. "You know you take care of me in more ways than cooking and cleaning."

"Well if you want to include sexual favors, but I like to think that it's more of a treat for me." Astrid smirked. I slid my hand down to her ass.

"Do you want a treat?" I asked. Astrid laughed.

"We need to pack." she said standing up.

"Astrid, you are always looking out for me you know that right? In that way you are always taking care of me." I said. Astrid sighed and smiled.

"Yeah I guess your right." she said smiling.

"That's better." I said smiling. "You look better with a smile." Astrid punched me in the shoulder. "Hey what was that for?"

"Because it was corny." She said. She then gave me a kiss and said nothing.

"And what was that for?" I asked.

"Because it was corny." she replied. I smiled and we continued to pack. Astrid then helped me load up the dragons... Okay you got me. I helped Astrid load the dragons. You think I am strong enough to lift those saddle bags? You are sorely mistaken! After everything was ready, we took off into the sky. Astrid flew next to me to make sure I didn't have another episode. Those were getting better. My mind rarely shut down. The two hour flight was better than the 6 hours on dragon back. Once at home, I helped Astrid unload the dragons and we went to my room.

Astrid sauntered over to the sofa and practically fell on it. "Now this is the part I hate." She said. I looked over at the coffee table that held the tea.

"I am not thrilled with Tea time either." I replied.

"Not that." Astrid sighed.

"Oh the constant doting by the servants. Yeah that does get annoying." I said.

"Not that either!" Astrid exclaimed. Everything became silent for a while then Astrid walked up to me. She started picking at imaginary fuzzies that were supposedly on my shirt. "My parents want me to go home right now."

"Do you have to?" I whined. Astrid gave a slight chuckled and nodded. "I can't sleep without my Astrid." I said in a baby like tone. Astrid rolled her eyes and started laughing.

"Now I want to leave you!" she chuckled. She went to leave and I wrapped my arms around her waist.

"No not my Astrid!" I said faking a whine. Astrid started to laugh harder. "My Astrid is suppose to stay with me!" I played around.

"I am sorry I said anything." Astrid roared. I turned her back toward me and kissed her.

"I love you." I said smiling like an idiot.

"You are lucky I love you too." She said pushing herself out of my arms.

"No Astrid!" I whined with a laugh.

"Good bye Hiccup!" Astrid said leaving the room. I followed her out.

"What if there is a thunderstorm?" I playfully whined. "I won't have my Astrid to snuggle with." Astrid jumped on Stormfly.

"Come here," She said pulling me up toward her. She gave me one last kiss and smiled. "You are impossible."

"I love you too." I laughed. "Good bye." Astrid then took off. Funny thing was, I really couldn't sleep that night without her!
