Hey guys I'm sorry that my chapters have been so short lately, stupid school, I've made them as long as I can and I really want to make sure that I get on chapter up a week at least, that's about it, read on my friends!
"HICCUP! IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
Hiccup jolted awake at the sound of her voice, then he looked at the clock.
"Astrid," he mumbled, covering his face with his pillow "It's five in the morning go back to sleep."
"But I just can't!"
"Why not!?"
"I-I don't know."
"Astrid did you have another nightmare?" she nodded "was it about your parents?" she nodded again, he padded on his bed next to him "come here." Astrid crawled in with him and buried her face into his chest.
"I have them every night Hiccup, just some are worse then others." she said and wrapped her arms around his chest.
"Try to get back to sleep Astrid." Hiccup mumbled before burying his face into her loose golden hair and drifted back to sleep.
Astrid lie awake for about a half hour, wrapped in Hiccup's protective arms. She pressed her ear on his chest and listened to his rhythmic heartbeat until she finally fell asleep again.
They both slept until eleven, then rushed to the cafeteria for there special Christmas breakfast, they were overjoyed when they got pancakes and bacon for the for the first time in 2 months. They ate there breakfast about as fast as it was given to them, and Hiccup got the hiccups, again.
"Hiccup do you wanna go back to our room?"
"Sure 'hic' lets g'hic'o." He said. Astrid took his hand and headed to there room.
They just lied on Hiccup's bed and read books for an hour or two. Earlier that week Jackson told them that the peoples who are adopting all the kids when they arrive at Canada are spread across the country, and he told them not to be surprised if they were separated, but Jackson assumed that hopefully they'd stick together. So just in case they are separated they're trying to spent as much time together as possible, witch is already a lot.
"Hiccup."
"Ya?"
"W-what if we are separated. What will happen then?"
"I-I guess you'd just live life like you use to."
"But what about my nightmares?! Your the only one I tell them to, a-and you always know what to do about them. A-and." Astrid stopped herself when her breathing quickened and tears began stinging her eyes. Her nightmares were so vivid and gory and getting worse and worse as the days progressed, though she has had a few that haven't been as bad.
"Hey, Astrid we haven't been separated yet, and I bet there would be plenty of people there to talk to you about them ok?" He encouraged and held both her hands in his. "Oh, I-I made something for you, do you want it before we go to bed?"
"You made me something? Hiccup you didn't have to!" She replied as she was handed a peace of paper witch hade been torn from his sketch book. Astrid just stared down at it in awe. "Are we Vikings!? And Toothless and Stormfly are dragons!?"
"Ya, d-do you like it?"
"I, I don't, I, I LOVE IT HICCUP!" She screamed and through her arms around his neck and pulled them into a big hug.
Astrid pressed there noses together again, and looked into his big forest green eyes before pressing their lips together for a split second and rushing to her bed and leaving Hiccup sitting on his bed wide eyed still processing what had just happened. Then he himself curled up in bed and slipped into a deep sleep.
