About Time
The sudden pour of rainfall caught Hiccup and Astrid off guard. They were out on a flight somewhere away from Berk just to clear their heads, and now they were looking for shelter.
"Over there!" Astrid points to a cave close by. Hiccup nodded and their dragons flew in.
The riders got off of their dragons, their clothes soaked. The cold feeling on their skin made them shiver. Luckily there were pieces of wood inside the cave. Astrid piled them together, and Hiccup told Toothless to shoot at it, creating a fire.
"Well, we're gonna have to wait 'till the rain stops before we can go home," he sighed as he sat down, his back presses against the wall of the cave. "Dad's going to go crazy… And so are your parents."
She took off her shoulder pads, the metal making her shoulders feel colder, before shrugging and sitting beside him. "It's not entirely our fault that the weather decided to stop us."
He looked at her, her lips pressed against each other as she rubbed her arms, trying to make herself warmer, but to no avail. They were only out for a few hours for a flight and some alone time together. They were fine with hanging out with the rest of the gang, but sometimes, they could be too rowdy when they shoudn't be.
Hiccup scooted closer to Astrid, slowly and hesitantly wrapping his arms around her in an embrace, hoping it would make her warmer. The girl's eyes widen for a moment, biting her lip.
"Hiccup?" She said.
"Y-you looked cold, so…"
Astrid didn't really know what to say at the moment. It was usually her starting things in their relationship. The kisses, the hugs. Hiccup does try but certainly not always. Granted, most of the time they do get time together is when they're with a group of people, but when they're truly alone, it gets a little awkward for both of them.
"Thank you." She smiled as she laid her head on his chest, feeling a little warmer.
He smiled, too. It used to be Hiccup silently crushing on Astrid. He never actually thought that he would end up lucky enough to be with her. Although he wasn't quite happy with the situations they've been in through the years, never properly having time for themselves, he was still thankful for what they had.
He looked in front of him to see Stormfly sound asleep, and Toothless heating the ground before laying down and closing his eyes. It's been two years since Berk has made peace with the dragons. It felt like a dream to Hiccup. Almost everyone had their own dragons.
"Hey, Astri.." He looked down and saw her eyes closed, softly breathing. Her fringe covered a good portion of her face. He smiled. He never told her out loud, but he always thought she was beautiful. He assumed she knew that he thought that because she had always caught him staring at her.
He didn't know what took over him, but then he found himself close to her face. His brows shot up, pressing his lips together as he stared at the girl in his arms, hesitating if he should move any closer. He shook his head. 'Go on, Hiccup,' he thought to himself.
Moving closer, Hiccup's eyes closed as his lips touched hers. It was cold, yet he didn't feel it. It felt… right. He moved away slowly, looking at her for a few moments before pressing his head against the wall. He smiled before letting out a yawn.
'I guess I should take a nap, too,' he thought.
Before he closed his eyes, he could have sworn he saw a smile on his girlfriend's lips. He didn't bother looking again because, by then, he was already fast asleep.
When all she could hear was the rain pouring outside, Astrid looked at Hiccup, her head tilting upward. She let out a soft giggle. "It's about time." She laid her head back on his chest before really drifting off into slumber.
