Was going to post this way sooner but when I went to save it when I finished it, it turned out that my computer's internet went down just at that time and when I fixed it a few minutes afterwards all the work was gone since I hadn't saved it earlier ;(. Anyways, hope you guys like this one and leave some reviews :D!
"Astrid, what's wrong?" Hiccup asked in a concerned voice. He tried to pull her off of him but she wouldn't budge, and her being stronger than him, made it even basically impossible. He felt Astrid try to nudge herself into Hiccup's shoulder, trying to shut her eyes tight trying to shield everything out but it just made her focus more on Hiccup's voice and the growing concern.
"I just uh, never thought about the fact we had to have a child until now." She said, still not lifting herself up from Hiccup's shoulder, which was starting become soaked by the tears that were flowing from her eyes that she tried to hold back so much. She didn't even know why she was crying. It just came out.
Hiccup, feeling his shirt getting wet at the shoulder where Astrid laid rubbed her back slowly to comfort her. He pulled her into a tighter embrace. "I know, it's scary." He replied back, trying to soothe her until he realized something. She hadn't thought about it until now, meaning there was something that made her on edge before this. "Wait," Hiccup said as he thought carefully to choose the right words. He didn't want to upset her even more than she already was. "Astrid, why were you upset earlier? I heard around the village on my way here that you were upset and that I was upset and they all thought we were in a huge argument. I need to know so that I know you're okay." His voice was so full of concern and care for her.
Astrid could hardly hold in the tears. She felt so stupid for even doubting Hiccup's true feelings and intentions. Of course he loved her. He loved her before he knew her and he still stayed with her. That should be enough. He didn't doubt that she loved him, and if he did, he hid it really well under his caring demeanor he always had towards her. "It's nothing." She said, hardly audible to Hiccup's ear as her voice was muffled by her speaking into his shoulder.
"Tell me. It can't just be 'nothing.' That's not fair." Hiccup pushed her. He felt bad about pressing her on, and normally when he did she would retaliate through physical means other than words but not this time. This time it was different. There wasn't any physical abuse between the two, just talk, just words. Something Hiccup was good at .. now anyways.
Astrid made a noise much like a little kid would make when they didn't get their way and Hiccup exhaled loudly in response as if to say he was tired of what she was putting him through. It's not like this you see Astrid pout and act like a kid. It was usually Hiccup if either one of them. "Astrid, come on." Hiccup again told her. At this, he heard a sign and she pushed herself away from him and she faced him and look at him in the eye. You could see the tears that welled up in her eyes and the trails of the tears that had already fallen and had gotten absorbed onto Hiccup's clothing.
"Fine." She replied and she looked down, unable to face Hiccup when she was going to say this. "I .. " She began slowly. "I thought that .. I thought that you were upset and confused because of what you told me the night before." She paused to take in a breath before she finished. "That you loved me." Astrid looked up, red filling her cheeks as tears began forming again as she tried to push them back without it being noticed. Even in front of Hiccup she could hardly let herself cry.
"Oh, Astrid." Hiccup said as he looked her in the eyes. She began to slowly drop her face back down to the ground but Hiccup used one of his index fingers to lift her up by her chin very gently to meet his eyes. "Astrid, you're name fits you perfectly. You are a divine beauty." Hiccup said with his goofy smile. Astrid took in all his features, although trying not to blush. She noticed the slight stubble that was slowly forming from not being shaved yet, she noticed the scar where Cloudjumper had accidentally scraped him, she noticed his freckles that resembled the stars she had seen so many times in the night sky, she noticed how much more longer and shaggier his hair had gotten, and how green and vibrant his eyes looked, especially with the sun shining off of them, reflecting it into her own.
Hiccup continued. "I feel like I waited a thousand years just say that." He said with a chuckle, "Cause I never thought I would ever get the chance. The truth is, and I won't lie, I'm lucky that I'm yours because you take me the way I am. Even when my own father didn't, when the whole village didn't, when all the other riders didn't, you did. And Astrid, that's why, you're beautiful. And I love you for it." His eyes looked so reassuring, so calm, so peaceful and so serene when he looked at Astrid.
Blushing hard, Astrid looked down to the ground to hide it but it was obviously no use.
"Oh c'mon. No kiss?" Hiccup teased as he playfully watched Astrid who responded back with her usual "honey and hatchet" technique but with a twist because it's Hiccup.
Astrid punched Hiccup on the shoulder. "That's for making me worried and making doubt basically eat me alive." And then she leaned in for a long, passionate kiss that made Hiccup beg for more afterwards. "And that's for everything else."
Hiccup smiled at her in appreciation and stood up. "C'mon, we should go. Everyone is probably all riled up on seeing us argue. Shall we, mi'lady?" He asked as he held out his hand for her to reach. Astrid grabbed his hand and he helped her up. She encircled Hiccup's waist with her arms as he put an arm around her, pulling her close to him. The two walked off back into the forest towards the path that led up to the village where the people were anxiously awaiting but trying to not make it obvious.
