(Spoilers of how to train your dragon:the hidden world) this continues the story from where we leave it before the prologue in the movie, with all berk seeing the dragons leave and what happened that night in hiccup and astrid's minds(and hearts). Hiccstrid.
----------------------------
It was gonna be a tough night, and hiccup knew it.
After all the dragons disappeared through the horizon, all the berkians stayed still on the edge of that mountain in total silence, the only thing you could've heard was sobs and cries.
With the passage of time some Vikings started to go away from that sad scene. They were going to theirs tents. Vikings or not, no one had the strength or the mood to start working on plans for future berk in what remained of that day. Only to think about how the new village doesn't have to be dragon proof broke the hearts of those Vikings
It passed out hours and hours, the sun went down behind the horizon and only 7 figures remained looking at the night sky and the sea. All the dragon riders, or now the ex-dragon riders, and hiccup's mother were still there. Without a doubt this group is, was and will be the most affected. Eventually, Ruffnut, Tuffnut, Snotlout and Fishlegs were quietly going away.
Astrid, who had stayed all this time beside hiccup, holding his hand, left a soft and compassionate kiss on the boy's cheek and with a caress on his shoulder she moved away until disappearing between the trees.
That left valka and hiccup alone on that cliff. She, who had lived 20 years surrounded by dragons, and he, who had found his first and best friend in that dragon for which he would give his life, they would be the worst to spend in that new world without dragons
"Son" it was valka's voice, she was slowly approaching to hiccup. He, who had not looked away from the horizon even once since the departure of the dragons, looked at the glassy eyes of his mother. "It's time to sleep, dear, you can't stay here alone all night, go to bed, tomorrow will be a hard day" she said softly.
He knew she was right, tomorrow they would start the construction of the new berk, without dragons. No more travelling to the edge of the world, no more moonlight flights, no more training, no more dragon riders.
Thinking about all that tortured that boy, but he must be strong, for his people, for his family, and more important, because that's how toothless want it.
"You're right..." he looked one last time to the sea, and silently went to his tent.
------------------------------------
The only thing hiccup could do was roll and roll in his bed. The memories of everyday since his life had gone better were now uncompleted, his best friend was far away now, and hiccup couldn't imagine how his life wasnt going to be the same as before, without toothles he felt as he were no one. He couldn't fall asleep without feeling toothless snores by his side. It was cold, he had never realized how much that dragon warmed the environment while they were sleeping. Now, without him, the atmosphere in hiccup's tent was freezing.
'Crack' The crunch of a branch intervened in the boy's thoughts. He paid attention, would any bandit have found the camp? How was he supposed to defend himself without toothless? 'Crack' another branch , it was closer this time.
The entrance to the tent moves, hiccup held inferno, his retractable sword, ready to unfold it in anytime. A hand appears at the door and opens it.
Hiccup relaxes when he sees astrid standing outside the tent.
"A-astrid" whispered hiccup, carefully not to wake anyone. Only to see the girl's face Hiccup understood he was wrong, he still had her, and it was the only thing he could ask for. With her by his side, everything was posible. She entered, closing the tent behind her. The warrior's face was dark and deep.
She spoke sadly "Hiccup.... I'm..." she breathed "i'm scared..." she said without being able to look him in the eyes.
He was paralyzed, Astrid Hofferson had just said she was afraid? In all the time they have spent together, she've never said those words, she was the brave one, the strong one, the warrior. Hiccup never have thought he could hear her say that.
But of course, she was a human, she was allowed to feel those emotions as the rest of her people, and as hiccup too.
Quickly, hiccup came over and put his arms around her. He would never let her alone while being afraid. He was gonna protect the love of his life of whatever scares her.
"I dont want to be alone... She always sleeps with me, i talk to her until she falls asleep, and the next day she wakes me up jumping in my bed, but no more, " she sobs "my mornings are never going to be like before, hiccup, nothing is going to be like before. I dont want to be alone, not without her."
"Hey" He held her chin so she could look him in the eyes "you are not alone, i'm here, with you, and i will always be"
A sad smile came out of the girl "yes, i know, but every time i imagined a future, she was there, playing with toothless or with our babys, she would be there in snoggletog, or taking care of me when i'm older. We had so many pending battles, battles we are never going to fight" she said, going back to hiccup's arms.
"I understand" hiccup felt the tears fighting to get out of his eyes "he used to snuggle in his stone and warm up the entire room, in the mornings he used to go out with my mother and start to jump in the roof to wake me up, he likes to fly to start the day..." hiccup almost could not finish that sentence, he lowered his head hiding his face in the girl's hair, broking in tears, she did the same thing.
After some time, hiccup stepped back so he could see the face of his betrothed, and with a sad smile said "you could stay with me if you want" while drying the tears of the face of that warrior who today was so fragile, he left his hand on the girl's neck "can't promise you to wake you up by jumping in bed" he said, provoking a small and sad giggle in both of them "but at least you will have me by your side"
"Thanks" she whispered, giving him a last hug before going to hiccup's bed.
They laid side by side, looking at the tent's roof.
"It's a while since she's been out there without me, i don't think she is scared but, what if something happens to her? Who is gonna help her? Cure her?"
"She's with the others dragons, and toothless is there too" he hold her hand, in his eyes was a tiny light "they have each others to take care of themselves"
She turned to look him in the eyes, he did the same.
"Do you think she miss me?" there were the tears again.
He took a deep breath "yes, as much as you miss her, Astrid believe me, she will never forget you, you two went through many things together, and you will always be in her heart, and she in yours. We"ll never forget them, and even if we cant see them, we will alwas be united. She will always be your little warrior, and he will always be my buddy"
The tears were falling down the lovers's faces, but hiccup could not bear to continue seeing her this bad.
He put a hand under Astrid's head and pulled her to his chest, surrounding his beautiful girlfriend with his arms "at least we still have each other, i will never go away, i'm sorry to announce you this viking is never going to let you alone" he lowered his head to meet her sight "i can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you"
And there it was what he was searching for, that smile, that blush, that shine in her eyes. Looks like those could make you lose sleep.
"A-are you talking about...?"
"Are you talking about our wedding?"
That question took by surprise the boy "emmm not exactly, i mean, married or not i want to be with you, although you know i'm just waiting for you to be ready" he had already told her that, and he was keeping his word.
"It's... True, i did not feel that we were ready, but, you know what?" she spoke low and peacefully "All of this had me thinking, Stormfly and the other dragons left so they could continue their lives, and i relly hope they do, i hope they'll have happy lifes, even have their families," a silent tear fell down Astrid's face "like toothless with the light fury. But Stormfly," the determination came back to her face "she surely wants the same for my, and it's the way i can carry her with me, living my life, being happy, not passing all my days immersed in my sadness. I want to try, for her, for me and, for us, hiccup. I know people are going to come in my life and people are going to leave it too, but i dont want you to," she looked at her hands in the chest of his boyfriend because she was so embarrassed she could barely speak, not to mention looking at the boy's eyes "i can't imagine a world without you in it, i'm ready hiccup, i do want to marry you" the boy got shocked, how many times he hoped this to happen? He was so sorry that toothless was not going to be there, it breaked his heart, but for thor's sake! He loved her with everything he had, and wanted to take that step.
"Not now!" she said, looking back to hiccup's eyes " we're gonna have so much work to do now with the new berk" her sight went serious "because don't you think i'm going to let you do all the work alone" she relaxed "but when we are done with all of this... We could..." she was intrrumped by a little kiss, a kiss that was not so happy, but a kiss that that transmitted a lot: fear, sadness, but also cravings and happiness.
"I will wait for it with all my heart, my lady"
"Thanks hiccup" she said while settled her head in the chest of his loved. "For being with me, for help me" she was talking more lower and slowly "for making me feel good when i was thinking i was falling down, and for beeing there, always"
And with those last words they were falling asleep, not befor hearing from his lips "for you my dear, anything..."
