Setting: During Dragon Training

"Who Would've Thought"

"The cove? Why'd you pick that place?" Astrid asked as they walked towards the cove.

"Well, it's pretty simple actually. There's enough space there that would be sufficient enough for us to run around and do some stunts. There's a lake there that we could probably use to learn to swim. And for the best part" Hiccup smirked "We have someone to train with."

Astrid raised her eyebrow. Hiccup knew something that she didn't and since his eyes were a dead giveaway for his emotions it was clear that he was excited to show her.

"Now way" Astrid whispered, gaping at the sight infront of her. They were now in the entrance towards the cove and what she saw really did surprise her.

Inside, the night fury was struggling in trying to get out but to no avail. It clawed, bit and jumped, trying to get out but the ledges were too high for it to climb over.

"Surprising isn't it?" Astrid turned towards her companion and he was smirking at her. "It was pure accident when I found him here yesterday."

Astrid had her hands in hips and heatedly glared at him "And you didn't tell me earlier because…?"

Hiccup wasn't fazed though and just snorted "Isn't it obvious? I did it to surprise you."

Astrid beamed and grabbed his hand to squeeze it. "You know, you can very sappy…"

He squeezed back "Why thank you" Hiccup let go of her hand and started to rub both if his together "Now, what do you propose we do to get that dragon to help us train?"

Astrid practically grabbed his shirt and forced him to face her "Are you insane?! Haven't you learned anything from the last time?"

"We won't know until we tried" he pleaded

Astrid groaned He could be very persistent if he wanted to. "Fine but remember this, if something bad happens to you then be ready because I'm going to do worse." She smiled sadistically at him.

Hiccup gulped. She was definitely serious. "I promise" he squeaked

Astrid's frowning face quickly changed back to her beaming one "Good! Now let's go back to the village and think of ways to get the dragon's attention without it trying to maim and or kill us."

Hiccup sighed "I'm starting to regret in teaching you anything" he jokingly said

Astrid just giggled and punched his arm "Oh don't be so down. At least you have someone to talk to that could understand what's running through your mind"

Hiccup just smiled at the adorable girl infront of her and they started walking back to the village. Suddenly a thought occurred to him that has been bugging him for years

Hiccup cleared his throat "Uhm Astrid… I've been meaning to ask but are we… you know…" he fidgeted with his hands.

It took astrid a few seconds to understand what he was trying to say. After realizing what it was, she giggled. "You know Hiccup, you are such a dork" she noticed how his face fell but she didn't care because she was not finish yet. "But you're my dork and nobody is taking you away from me." She grabbed his hand and kissed him on the cheek.

Hiccup blushed while smiling goofily "Does that mean?"

Astrid groaned again "Hiccup, I kissed you just a few days ago and I even told you I love you" she blushed at her declaration

Hiccup shrugged sheepishly "Well yeah but you know me… "

Astrid just shook her head and walked faster as they approached the end of the forest.

Hiccup asked her if he could walk her home and she responded by rolling her eyes. Of course he would ask you before he does these kinds of things. He's such a gentleman. He's Hiccup for crying out loud! She mentally berated herself. She nodded shyly at him and blushed when he visibly beamed at her.

After dropping her at home, Hiccup returned to the forest to go and tame the beast.

"She never said that I couldn't go back there and observe it, right? I mean, I'm not breaking any promises or anything, right?" he reasoned with himself.

He finally arrived back at the cove. Surprisingly, it was very quiet when just an hour ago the dragon was very loud. He went inside and started to look for it.

The cove was a very vast place with a giant pond in the middle, or it could be a lake, with some trees here and there. The perfect place for them to train in. He knew Astrid would love this place. He knew that she would also pummel him if she ever found out that he returned here without her.

He was so busy looking for the perfect excuse to not get maimed that he didn't notice the black dragon snuck up behind him. Hiccup noticed the huge shadow that was over him and immediately knew what was behind him.

He sighed "Now you decide to show up" he sarcastically said

-Astrid's house some time later-

"Ouch! Not so hard!" Hiccup hissed as Astrid roughly applied some herbs to the wound on his arm.

"Hiccup! You idiot!" Astrid shrieked while she whacked him on the back of his head "How many times have told you that curiosity could kill you!"

Hiccup groaned "If my memory is still intact from all your pounding then I guess for a about a thousand times" he sarcastically said while Astrid was applying some ointments on his burned arm

"Hiccup" Astrid said his name softly "You know I love you right?" Hiccup nodded "Then stop being an idiot before I kill you myself!" she slapped him on the arm and he shrieked

"Okay okay! You win!" Hiccup hissed "I just wanted to know if that dragon was tamable or not"

"If it makes you feel any better I think the night fury is a little less hostile towards us than the first time you cut off its tail"

"Well then, let's make sure it will fully trust us before our training begins" they both smirked but Hiccup's disappeared as Astrid started rubbing again.

Yep, worst idea I ever had. He mentally cursed at the pain.

Astrid looked towards him and noticed that he was very quiet "Hiccup?"

He snapped out of from where his mind came from "Yes?"

"Promise me that you wouldn't do anything stupid that would cause harm to yourself, please?" she pleaded

Hiccup melted then and there. Astrid never pleaded even if her life depended on it. She was being serious about her question and he fell inlove all over again.

He smiled softly at her while squeezing her hand "I promise."
