It has been eight months since Hiccup was rescued.
Hiccup was getting better each day. His appetite was coming back slowly, and he has been having lesser nightmares.
It was now night time. Hiccup had told Astrid that he had something he wanted to tell her, so she followed him to his hut. They were sitting on his bed as Astrid waited for him to speak.
"Do you remember the day when those pirates were punished? That day you found me on the cliff?" He waited for her to nod before continuing.
"Well... I almost killed myself that day." Her eyes widened in shock.
"I... I was going to jump down the cliff so that all the pain and suffering would end. But... do you know why I didn't? It was because of you." He said softly, grabbing her hand and squeezing it. He saw the confused look on her face, so he continued.
"You are the reason why I'm still alive right now. That day, just when I was about to do it, I thought about that amazing night we had, and the promise I made to you. Killing myself would mean that I'm leaving you, and I love you so much that I couldn't break that promise. That night, you showed me how much I mean to you, how much you love me, and that made me realise that I am not alone, that I have you. You stopped me from doing something I was going to regret. So... thank you, Astrid. Thank you so much." He said and hugged her tightly. A smile crept over her face at the realisation that she saved him. She hugged him back tightly and buried her face in his neck. After awhile, she spoke.
"I love you." She whispered before kissing him.
"I love you too, Astrid." He said as he rested his forehead on hers.
"Can you stay?" He asked quietly.
"Of course." She chuckled. They cuddled and eventually fell asleep.
