Song is Just a Kiss by Lady Antebellum. This time, it's just thought singing; like a voice over.
Bold means they're both thinking it.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
Just A Kiss: (Happy Valentine's Day)
Together, as everyone slept, Hiccup and Aric sat on the shore beneath the big and bright full moon.
"Well, you were right, Hiccup", Aric started in conversation. "There's so much more out here. And it's…" He turned looking at her smiling face now. "…beautiful."
They both turned back towards the beautiful sight of the moon.
"Yeah", Hiccup breathed. "And just think, Aric. This is only the beginning. There's so much more out here. I can't wait to see it all. Who knows what we'll find?"she finished looking at the young man sitting beside her.
Aric had turned his head back out to sea, but Hiccup kept looking at him. This moment… All Hiccup could think was how… romantic it all was. It was just him, and her, sitting alone beneath a bright full moon on the shore. How could a moment be any more romantic? As Hiccup looked down in front of her, her thoughts brought her back about three or four years ago. Aric had first kissed her underneath a full moon. It was a shy kiss on the cheek, but it still warmed her heart. Now that she thought about it, they hadn't kissed—really kissed—since that day she woke up from her coma. Aric hadn't tried once. And she was never so bold to pull him in either. She wished he would do it now; just pull her in for one little kiss. Just something small, like a kiss goodnight.
'Lying here with you so close to me, it's hard to fight these feelings when it feels so hard to breathe. I'm caught up in this moment. Caught up in your smile', Hiccup finished in thought as she looked back to Aric's smiling face, still staring out.
After a moment Aric felt compelled to look at Hiccup. She was now looking out with that dreamy look she had been having often. It was beautiful; she was beautiful. He wanted to just turn her face towards his and kiss her right then and there, but he wouldn't. Over the years Hiccup hadn't really shown much signs in still being interested in him. Maybe a look, or a glance here and there… maybe even a hug where it seemed like she didn't want to let go. She kissed him once at Thawfest—he still remembered how stunned he had been when she shyly walked away. But still… Maybe he should take the shot?
'I've never opened up to anyone. It's so hard to hold back, wanting you right now in my arms.'
'But we don't need to rush this. Let's just take it slow… But maybe… just a kiss on your lips in the moonlight, just a touch of the fire burning so bright— No. I don't wanna mess this thing up; I don't wanna push too far. Maybe, just a shot in the dark that you just might be the one I've been waiting for my whole life. Yeah, I would be alright with just a kiss goodnight.'
No matter how each one had thought about it, though. Neither made a single move, their secret longing for more staying silent.
Aric stopped her, holding her arm. "Look, Hiccup. I obviously can't imagine what this must be like for you. You've grown so much. You're no longer that little kid I thought I saw all those years ago. You're strong, invincible—"
"Hmph. Maybe, but not anymore." Hiccup turned back around to face in front of her so she was facing him. She wished she could see his face. "What if this is it, Aric? What if the rest of my life is like this? I can't be weak, Aric, I can't go back. Like you said, I've grown so much… But now I feel as if all that growth means nothing. What am I supposed to do?"
"We'll deal with it. Just because you can't see, Hiccup, doesn't mean you're helpless", he said now holding her arms on both sides.
"But that's exactly how I feel. Like that helpless little girl everyone had to bend over backwards to protect. Who was always told to stay inside, because when she tried to help she only made things worse."
Aric realized that's kind of what he did. He told her to hide because he couldn't worry about her and fight at the same time. That, tied with Toothless doing the same, must have been been the last straw; her insecurities coming out with a vengeance. He had to pull her out.
"Hiccup…you and I have been through…everything together." Slowly, absentmindedly, his hands traveled downwards to her hands, taking them. "You don't think we can handle this? Hiccup, you have me, no matter what. One leg, arm, deaf, or blind, there will always be a Hiccup and Aric. Always."
Hiccup could tell he was so close to her now. She could almost feel his breath on her. 'Just kiss me already... Yes, I know that if we give this a little time, it'll only bring us closer to the love we want to find. But it's never felt so real…'
Aric was so close to her right at that moment. All he had to do was lean in. '…it's never felt so right', he thought.
'Just a kiss on your lips in this soft light, just a touch of the fire burning so bright— No. I don't wanna mess this thing up. I don't wanna push too far. But maybe just a shot in the dark would be just fine. See if you're the one I've been waiting for my whole life. Yes, I would be alright with…'
'…just a kiss goodnight', Aric thought as he leaned in about to kiss her.
"Did you hear that?" Hiccup then suddenly said, ruining his chance.
"Can I ask you something?" Hiccup asked as they sat in the sun's fading light.
"Sure."
"Um, back in the forest… when we were… well, you know."
"Yeah?"
"Were you about to…?"
"Oh, you felt that?!" Aric said now a little red with embarrassment. "Felt like I might've got away with it."
"Well, why didn't you?"
"Oh. Uh, well, it wasn't perfect. And I always thought, if we ever did—well, you know—and yes, I've thought about it a lot, it had to be just perfect."
Hiccup smiled with the answer. How did she become blessed with such a sweet man? Seeing the sunset, she had one thing on her mind. "Well, this seems pretty perfect to me?" she said.
"Yeah? Huh, yeah, I guess it does."
'Just a kiss goodnight. No. I don't wanna say goodnight.'
'Tonight', Aric thought with finality. It was time.
'Tonight', Hiccup thought already ever so slightly leaning in, waiting for him.
'Tonight.' At last, they each leaned in and kissed.
'Just a kiss on your lips with the fading light. More than just a touch of the fire burning so bright. No, we never messed this thing up. We would never push too far. It's a shot in the dark that you just might be the one I've been waiting for my whole life. Yes, baby I'm alright with this kiss goodnight.'
Pulling apart, Hiccup sighed contently and Aric shifted over putting an arm around her. She leaned on him and closed her eyes wrapping her tail to lay around him. Finally, they were moving on.
