Hiccup is standing in the cove, pacing. "Astrid, I love you- no, too cliche. The good old will you marry me? No, too boring." Hiccup took out the ring he was about to offer Astrid. It was a beautiful piece of work. Hiccup had made it himself. It was a silver band, engraved with Viking designs, and had a blue sapphire that matched Astrid's eyes, with two pale blue diamonds to complement it.
Toothless was staring at Hiccup. He hadn't seen Hiccup this nervous since… Wow. Five years ago, when he befriended Toothless. In this very cove. The sheer irony.
A Nadder landed in the cove beside Toothless, startling Hiccup out of his reverie. He quickly shoved the ring out of sight. Astrid dismounted off Stormfly's back. "Hi Hiccup! What's going on?" Hiccup began stuttering. "Astrid! Hi Astrid, Hi, Astrid, Hi Astrid!"
Astrid snorted in amusement. "Hiccup, you haven't gotten this tongue tied since we were sixteen!" Hiccup turned as red as a tomato. "Astrid it's just, that is, I wanted to say-"
Astrid rolled her eyes. "C'mon, Hiccup. Out with it. What's going on?"
Hiccup took a deep breath and, instead of stuttering, began to whistle.
"I'll swim and sail on savage seas, with ne'er a fear of drowning, and gladly ride the waves of life, if you will marry me. No scorching sun, nor freezing cold, will stop me on my journey, if you will promise me your heart, and love, and love-"
"And love me for eternity" Hiccup's heart soared. She was singing it with him! The tempo picked up, and Hiccup and Astrid found themselves whirling around, spinning and dancing.
Hiccup finished off. "I'll swim and sail the savage seas, and gladly ride the waves of life, if you will marry me." He turned to Astrid, suddenly confident and solemn. He got down on one knee. "Astrid, will you marry me?"
Astrid's eyes welled up with tears. "Yes! Yes, I do!" They kissed, and Hiccup slipped the ring onto Astrid's finger.
Astrid suddenly punched Hiccup. "That's for taking so long!" Hiccup grinned, knowing what was coming next. He beat Astrid to the punch, leaning forward and kissing her, saying, "And that's for everything else!"
Astrid grinned. "Hey! That's my line!"
