I read a little thing saying to imagine your OTP doing something and I imagined Hiccstrid and it was so cute. This isn't the exact idea. I did some tweaks but it's basically the same idea. I'm probably confusing a lot of people right now. Sorry. This takes place after animal house when everyone is snowed in.
It's been a week and the snow is still coming down. Most people had to sleep on the floor or the dragons would shelter them. Most of the teens slept with their dragons. Except Astrid.
Hiccup was snuggled up next to Toothless. The reptiles skin was cold. As cute and sweet toothless could be, he's still a reptile. Which means he's cold blooded. The only dragon that can radiate heat from it's skin in the Monstrous Nightmare. Hiccup was like a radiator to Toothless so he kept close to him. Hiccup wasn't as fond to this plan. The young teen pulled his blanket over himself. It wasn't working. He was the only Viking who couldn't stand the cold. Not a very pleasurable trait on Berk.
Hiccup shivered violently trying to fall asleep but he couldn't. He felt a warm hand touch his shoulder. He had turned over to see what it was. Astrid? She snuggled up to him. Was she asleep? Her and Stormfly were on the other side of the hall when they went to bed. Was she sleep walking? Hiccup breathed a chuckle. She hugged him tight like a pillow. She was warm and gently. Unlike Toothless who was cold and scaly. Hiccup decided not to wake her up. He couldn't really get away from her death grip so he just got comfortable. Soon he had drifted off to sleep.
"Ahh!" Astrid jumped up and kicked Hiccup in the back. It was still night. She woke quite a few people up."Hiccup? What are you doing?" Hiccup sat up and rubbed his back. That was going to leave a mark. "What did I do?" Astrid was about to pull her hair out. "We were...spooning. What was that?" Hiccup shrugged."Apparently you sleep walk." "No I don't." She hissed back. "Yes you do. You slept walked over here and tried to sleep next to me. I couldn't wake you up. You're not suppose to wake a sleep walker." Astrid was mortified." Well then. Did you even try to wake me up? Or did you just want a pretty girl cuddling?" Hiccup raised an eyebrow."Really modest Astrid. And I don't know what would happen if I woke you up. Plus you're warm." He added the last part under his breath. Astrid growled." Warm? Seriously? You're being creepy." "Hey you're the one who freakin hug attacked me. You're creepy. I'm perfectly normal." "Is that right?" "Uh, yes." Astrid groaned and stormed back to Stormfly.
She glanced back for a moment. The guilt on his face was both sad and adorable. He didn't mean to intrude. He was probably more embarrassed than she was. She blushed and shook her head. Hiccup started shivering again. He probably screwed up his entire relationship.
Tuffnut was rolling on the ground with laughter. Astrid glared at him. "So you crawled into bed with Hiccup? Why?" Ruffnut was trying not to laugh. "I don't know because I was cold?" Fishlegs joined in the conversation. "Actually that can be a natural reaction to cold sometimes. Like I said you were using your own bodies to keep eachother warm. It's not that creepy. It's kind of sweet that you subconsciously think of Hiccup for safety." Astrid rolled her eyes. "He shouldn't have let me do that." Fishlegs shrugged."Yeah but be was kind of looking to you for safety too." "I'm not going to apologize." "You don't have to. But it's not worth losing Hiccup as a friend over.
Fishlegs was probably right. Something so stupid wasn't really worth kicking him out of her life. That was just stupid. She found him trying to get Toothless to come down from the rafters."Hey Hiccup." Hiccup blushed just at her voice. He freaked out. "About last night. I'm really, really sorry. That was wrong and out of line." Astrid punched him in the shoulder. "It's fine. And I do know about the whole don't wake a sleep walker thing. But you could have tried to move me at least." "Hey, I was cold." Astrid grinned and rubbed her arm uncomfortably."Um, so I'm going to go find the twins. Make sure they didn't put dragon dung in the soup again." She shuddered. "Don't want to relive that whole issue again now would we? "She scurried back to her table where Fishlegs was still reading. She left out the part that Fishlegs said about her subconsciously looking to Hiccup for safety. It was too embarrassing.
Just going to point out that they were both out of line. Astrid shouldn't have yelled at him like he was some creepy stalker. All he really did was just not wake her up. And he would have if she got...handsy. He just liked the warmth. But he should have woken her up because he should have thought about Astrid's feelings. I'm not trying to say Hiccup was the good guy. He wasn't being a pervert like Astrid thought. He literally just wanted to cuddle. But again he was inconsiderate to Astrid's feeling. But he was guilty. There is no moral to this story. Please don't try to take one from it. I'm simply telling a story.
