Hiccup:
I slowly tip toed out of Astrid's hut. The sun was beginning to peek over the horizon and the others would be waking up soon. He knew that Astrid wouldn't want to have to explain why he had spent the night in her hut, so it was better to just sneak out while everyone was asleep. "Hiccup?" I heard a tired voice moan from behind me. I spun around to see Astrid waking up. "Hey! I'm just heading back to my hut, I figured you wouldn't want people to know about last night" I said as I began to leave. "Hiccup?" She repeated. "Yeah?" "Thank you..." she said in a hushed voice. "Don't mention it" I said as I left.
I opened my door and slowly walked in, but to my surprise Toothless was already awake and waiting for me. He gave me his usual Toothless grin, seeming to know where I had spent the night. "Shut up bud!" I whispered. He had one of his dorky dragon laughs as I got changed into my day clothes. "What do you think me and the gang are gonna get up to today Bud? Now that Hookfang is back to normal we have no urgent matters on the agenda. Maybe we can go for a flight and have a look for some new dragons?" I suggested. He seemed excited about that idea, but I wasn't sure if the others would be up to it.
I walked out and looked over the horizon. The view from the edge was breath taking, and it was nice to not have a care in the world. As I admired the waves as they crashed against the shore, I noticed another beautiful sight. I looked over to the hut next to mine to see Astrid sharing the spectacle with me. She noticed me gazing at her and gave a small smile with a slight blush before returning inside her hut. It had been a long time since he had felt the way he did the night before. Back when they were younger Astrid just suddenly went cold on him. They were still good friends but the spark they shared just wasn't there, or rather at least Astrid had done her best to put hers out.
Maybe it was my fault… I thought to myself. She was always the one to initiate their kisses, and he had always been too nervous to tell her how he felt. Maybe it was time for that to change. If he got the chance, he had to tell, or maybe show, her how he felt, but he couldn't force it. Clearly something was wrong if she had nightmares that shook even the might Astrid Hofferson into tears. He saddled up toothless and they glided down to the Twins bore pit, where they were admiring their creation. "Hey! That one looks like you!" Tuffnut exclaimed. Ruffnut punched him in the face. "Yeah? Well that ones butt looks like your face!" She retorted. "Hey guys! You wanna go for a ride?! Maybe find some new dragons?" I asked. "Eh sorry Hiccup, we promised Fishlegs we'd help him with making another one of those dragon ear things we made a couple years back!" Tuffnut answered. "Sorry Hiccup, but Snotloud actually had a really good idea to turn it into a weapon!"
Fishlegs interrupted as he hopped of Meatlug. Him and Snotloud had just arrived. "Snotload?" I said in shock. "What? I figure if a lot of sound goes in one end and a little sound comes out the other, if we put a lot of sound in the opposite end a HUGE amount of sound will come out the other?" Snotloud exclaimed. We all stared in shock. "That's… actually a pretty good idea!" I said. "Need any help?" "No the twins should be enough" Fishlegs answered. "Okay, let me know how it goes!" I said as I left. As I was leaving I ran into Astrid. "Hiccup!" She said, before pulling herself back, a little embarrassed at how exited she sounded. "Hey!" I replied. "Are you okay? You seemed pretty upset last night…" I said. She didn't respond. "Astrid, it's okay, whatever it was, if it scared you none of us would have coped any better. God if it worked you into such a state can you imagine how Fishlegs would react? We'd have to pry him off the roof of his hut for Thors sake!" I joked. We both laughed and the mood lightened a little, but she still didn't enlighten me as to what she had dreamed about. "Hey would you like to go for a fly just the two of us?" I said. "The others are busy working on an idea Snotloud had" I continued. "Snotloud!?" She exclaimed. "That's what I said! I answered.
After a bit of convincing I got her to come with me. We sored through the sky with the wind in our hair. Something about the way it soothed my mind just made me feel… free… I heard Astrid giggle, which wasn't a common thing for her. I looked up to where she was gliding above me. "Something funny?" I asked. "You should see your face when you fly" she answered. "It's adorable" She continued in a hushed tone, not sure if she wanted to hear it or not. "So where's this new island you told me about?" she called over her shoulder. "It's just up ahead!" I replied. We descended onto the island and demounted our dragons. "Follow me!" I said. "I have something I want to show you!" I lead her down, through a valley full of sheep, and into a clearing at the bottom of a hill.
Astrid:
He led me to a small clearing where there was a hole about 10 meters deep. It was in a big oval shape about the size of a small house. "Well! Here I go!" He said, and without further warning jumped into the pit. "Hiccup!" I almost screamed knowing he would be badly injured from such a fall. Was this another dream? Was she about to wake up again covered in tears? She was starting to panic before a familiar brown haired Viking arose in front of her. "Surprise!" he said. "Hiccup! Wait, how are you doing that?!" I asked. I looked down and saw the ground was full of small holes. I realized that they were blowing lots of, what felt to be warm air, up, hoisting him into the air. "You idiot! I was terrifi-" I was cut off as he grabbed my hand and pulled me in. Suddenly I felt weightless, like I was a feather floating in mid-air. We floated around doing all sorts of flips, tricks and spins. I was having the time of my life, and it only got better as I looked up.
Hiccup:
She was laughing and having the time of her life, and although I absolutely loved feeling like I could fly, the best part of it was watching the smile on Astrids face. I was really worried about her, and the nightmare that she had had. I wanted to help her relax and forget about it, and to be honest her smile was my favourite thing in the world, even over exploring, even over dragons. Suddenly she looked up and caught me admiring her. "This is the most amazing thing you've found yet!" She exclaimed. "Not the most, I'm looking at the most amazing thing right now" I said we I gazed into her sky blue eyes, and cracked a smile. It was now or never, the moment was created, I just had to take it. I carefully pulled her closer to me and kissed her, slowly, passionately, I wanted her to know that I still cared for her like that, I needed her to know.
Eventually we got off, and once we had readjusted to standing again she punched me hard in the arm. "Ow!" I said, while rubbing my arm. "That's for scaring me before!" she said, but before she could continue I grabbed her waist, pulled her closer, and kissed her even deeper than before. After a few minutes we parted. "Well that's for everything else…" I said. She was surprised, but by the way she looked at me I could tell that she wasn't complaining. She pulled be back and continued the kiss, for a long while. I should have initiated the kisses long ago, I could get used to this.
So what do you think?
