Forever
Part two of Say Something! Sorry this is so damn late! This takes place about a year after HTTYD 2. I own nothing!
Hiccup was usually calm around Astrid, they had been for three years, and Hiccup had been chief for a year. About six months after becoming chief, people started asking about heirs.
Which hadn't made vomit come up his throat… too much.
Now, as the sun came up on the island of Berk, Hiccup stared at the ring. It was perfect, he found the gold on Trader Johann's ship, and found the blue stone on an island him and Toothless explored. The blue stone reminded him out Astrid's eyes and he knew he had to have it.
The idea of proposing to Astrid had actually been his mothers. When he introduced Astrid his mother, Val had thought they were already married.
"Mom," Hiccup kicked a stray piece of ice away from his foot. Astrid tugged at his hand, making Hiccup glare at her. "This is Astrid, Astrid this is my mom."
"Nice to meet you Mrs. Haddock." Astrid stuck out her right hand, her left hand was holding Hiccup's.
"Please, call me Val. Mrs. Haddock makes me feel old."
"Okay Val." Smiled Astrid
"So," Smiled Valka "How long have you two been married?"
Hiccup, who been talking to Gobber, choked on his own spit. Astrid blushed and dropped Hiccup's hand.
"We're not married!" Hiccup finally said
"Oh, I just thought-"
"Nope, nope, nope! N-not married." Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck.
"We've been dating for three two years." Smiled Astrid
"And not married!" Said Hiccup, still blushing to his hairline.
Astrid didn't talk to him a week.
Now, a year later, Hiccup wants to get married, he's ready. And the ring is finished. He talked to her father a month ago, and he's ready.
Oh Gods…
He's proposing to Astrid…
Astrid bit her lip and crossed her legs. Her mother glared at her.
"Astrid, don't cross your legs in public, people will think you're a whore."
Astrid rolled her eyes, but uncrossed her legs. Where the hell was her boyfriend? He's always late, even before he was chief.
"I swear to all the gods, if he's dead somewhere, I'll kill him." Astrid thought
This was supposed to be her night, where he didn't have to do anything chiefly duties and be with her.
Suddenly, she heard the doors opening and jumped up. She stood on her tiptoes to see if Hiccup had finally made it. She groaned when she saw it was the twins. Astrid sat back down, and hit her head on the table.
"Calm down Astrid, this isn't lady like."
"I don't care about Image right now mom. This is my Hiccup time. I shouldn't share Hiccup during my time!"
Alva Hofferson patted her daughters head and looked up. She smiled at her chief as he put a finger to lips. Alva winked and Hiccup tickled Astrid's sides. Astrid screamed and punched Hiccup in the stomach. He yelped in pain, falling to the ground.
"You hurt the chief! That-that is punishable by law!" cried Hiccup
"Get over yourself!" Astrid screamed "Why would you do that!?"
"Because I thought it would be cute!" Hiccup stood up, still clutching his stomach "I guess not!"
"Yeah it's not!" yelled Astrid, putting her head in her hands. Hiccup sat next to Astrid and kissed her head.
"Go away." Said Astrid "Go be chiefly."
"I will. But I'll be back. Because this is your time with me." Hiccup kissed Astrid's head and walked away.
Later, Astrid was sitting next to Hiccup, who sat in the Chief's chair, drinking her mead. Hiccup cleared his throat and stood up.
"Hiccup? What are you doing?" asked Astrid
"Excuse me!" Yelled Hiccup, making everyone stop talking. Astrid blushed as everyone stared at them "I something important to say." Astrid didn't like where this is going… oh gods, she hated him. Why do this here? Now? Couldn't he had waited until they were alone?
He was breaking up with her…
Right?
"Astrid?" Hiccup pulled her up and her blushed went straight to her hairline.
"Hiccup, what are you doing?" she whispered
Hiccup got down on one knee and Astrid, along with everyone else in the Great Hall, gasped.
"I would swim and sail, on savage seas, with ne'er fear of drowning, I would gladly ride the waves of life, if you will marry me." Said Hiccup, and Astrid wasn't afraid to admit it, she was crying gross, ugly sobs. "Can I take that as a yes?"
Astrid nodded, making Hiccup smile. Everyone cheered and Hiccup stood up. Hiccup pulled out a ring and Astrid gasped. She finally pulled herself together enough to speak again.
"Yo-you made that?" she asked
"Yeah. I hope you like it." Hiccup slid it on her finger and smiled as it fit perfectly. Astrid stared at the ring in awe. It was simple, but also prettier than anything she had ever seen.
"I love it." She smiled and looked up into her fiancée's vivid green eyes. He had that stupid lopsided grin on his stupid little face, and she wants to kiss that grin right off of his face. So she cups his face and kissed him, right in front of the whole village.
Hiccup held Astrid close and smiled as he felt the band of her ring on his cheek.
Astrid was his…
Forever.
