A/N: Guess who's back! Hey, guys. So, I made this "Completed," but it's only because I needed a break due to, well, over-stress, and I got really sick. Also, I've been super busy with lots of performances at school coming up, but now, I'm back! Woohoo! I'm just gonna warn you guys ahead:

IMPORTANT: After the 45th chapter here, The Love of Two will be completed, but that doesn't mean I won't do prompts anymore. I'll be posting new prompts/ drabbles in a new fanfic with a new title. So... yep! After Chapter 45, I'll be moving the rest of my drabbles to a different fic here called, "Hofferson-Haddock Love Affair."

PS: I won't accept prompts sent here anymore because it started getting confusing. I will accept prompts sent to me through Tumblr. It is alright if you don't have a Tumblr account because you can still send prompts via "Anonymous."

Send me prompts on my Tumblr: shinamatsuoka (Link is also in my profile)

Thank you! :D

Practice Proposals

"Astrid, m'lady," the Berk University graduate spoke in a low voice. "We have been together for quite some time and not because I want to string you along in a," he stopped. "AGH!"

Groaning, he slapped his right hand onto his forehead, leaving a little red mark on it. "Stupid!"

Hiccup had been planning most of the year to propose to his long-time girlfriend, Astrid Hofferson. He swore to the moon and back that she was going to be the woman he'll spend the rest of his life with.

His mind wandered onto memories of them walking together, his hand on her waist and her head gently laid onto his shoulder. He loved the way she would put down her tough woman persona when she was with him. She was much more of a sweet, thoughtful woman. Most people would think of her as the woman not to be messed with, the woman who could beat up the entire football team, but Hiccup knew better. Yes, she could easily beat the pompous jocks, but she knew better than to start a scene with no real and valid reason.

She was caring. Underneath that armor was a soft but still independent and strong female who will speak up if she doesn't agree with what someone says or if that person, Hiccup, needs a reality check. She, in his eyes, was perfect, and no one could tell him otherwise.

He took a deep breath and looked at his reflection in the mirror. "Hey, uh, Astrid, I was wondering if you sort of, maybe, wanted to get married and have children? Wait, no, if you don't wan-" He stopped again, furiously shaking his head.

"Oh, Astrid. Wherefore art thou, Astrid? Thou art the… Why am I speaking Shakespearean?" He scratched his head. Do all men get nervous before proposing?

"So, uh, m'lady. Since I'm the Pride of Berk, wanna be the Bride of Berk?"

Before he could go on any further, a feminine giggle interrupted his train of thought. "A little cocky there, babe." She walked into the room.

His eyes widened, and his mind screamed a little four letter word starting with 'F'. "Uh, Astrid. Hi, Astrid. Hi, Astrid. Um," he paused. "What are you doing here?"

The smile never escaped her lips. "You seem to have forgotten that you asked me to come over today at 5."

He looked at the clock on his bedside table that read, "5:06 PM". He slapped his hand onto his forehead again. "Oh, man." He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment as he looked at Astrid.

She was clearly enjoying. "So… Wherefore art thou?"

He groaned. "How much did you hear?"

Another giggle. "Enough. Loved your Tom Cruise impression, though."

By this time, Hiccup's forehead was throbbing and as red as a tomato. "I, uh. Man."

She walked closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hey, it wasn't bad."

"Astrid, I wanted to ask you, well, properly, and-" He felt her lips on his own, silencing him. The kiss was chaste, but tender.

"Shh… I know," she smiled. "But you should know I love you. It doesn't matter how you ask me. I would definitely say yes."

He smiled back. "Well, then, m'lady. Will you marry me?"

"Of course, you dork."

Their faces inched closer, lips only millimeters apart when a flash and a 'Click!' stopped them. They turned to see Hiccup's father. Stoick had a camera in hand.

"Dad!"

Stoick was long gone, but his voice was still audible. "Valka! A wedding's coming! We're going to be grandparents!" He yelled.

Astrid laughed as Hiccup sighed exasperatedly.

That was the start of a very happy life.
