Alternative "I love you scenes" from Siren Sung

...

And they all suck in a collective gasp as their Chief is suddenly blindsided by the queen's tentacle and sent flying across the beach!

Astrid opens her mouth to tell them to go, but they're gone before she even forms the first word, the wind of their dragon's wings so powerful it sends her tumbling backwards. Astrid scrambles back onto her hands and knees, flinching at the throbbing pain of her bandaged ankle. Fire explodes across the Siren's body and it shrieks, clawing at them as they attack.

"Astrid...?" Hiccup mumbles deliriously, but she ignores him, too focused on trying to decide if Stoick is alright. He was thrown pretty far...and he isn't moving. "Astrid...!" The drugged boy repeats, sounding annoyed.

"Not now!" She snaps, waving him off.

Hiccup sits up suddenly, causing Toothless to back pedal several feet. The dragon's eyes are wide as saucers, as if he can't believe what he's seeing. The delirious boy frowns and rubs his eyes, squinting through blurry, flashing vision at the battle field. Some distant part of his mind is still coherent and knows his friends are in danger...but his body is being very disobedient and seems to do the opposite of what he tells it to do. And to top that off, all he can hear, other than muffled roars and distant shouts, is a high-pitched singing that drowns out his thoughts and makes his head ache.

The world is spinning around him and his vision doubles so Hiccup closes his eyes for a moment to steady himself. I think...is that mist...wearing off now? He wonders vaguely. But then-

"AHHHHHH!"

Hiccup stiffens and spins around, staring in terror at the sight of Astrid being yanked off the ground by a pair of sharp talons. His heart leaps into his throat and he stumbles forward. "ASTRID!"

But then it's like he was moving a hundred miles an hour, only to slam face-first into a brick wall. The world jolts in front of him and he groans, only slightly surprised when he falls into a pair of very familiar arms.

"Hiccup?!" Astrid gasps as she fumbles not to drop his limp body. "What happened? Are you okay?"

"Whaa...?" He moans, looking up to find her safe and sound, but staring down at him as if she's just seen a ghost. His brow furrows. Wasn't she just getting pulled into the air? Another hallucination...?

"Hiccup!" She demands more forcefully this time, staring down into his dilated, fluttering eyes.

"I..." He whispers against her shoulder, his voice slurring slightly. "...luu..."

"What?" She asks, leaning her ear closer so she can hear his quiet voice.

"...love you..."

"Not now!" She snaps, waving him off. But then, she feels his hand wrap around her wrist...and looks over to find him staring softly at her. "Um..." Her face suddenly feels warm. "Hiccup? Are you...okay?"

The boy's pupils are still dilated and he sways as if he's dizzy...but... He smirks at her, eyes half-lidded. When he speaks his voice is almost gruff. "Astrid...can I tell you something?"

"Uhhh..." She glances nervously over her shoulder at the fight, her sensible brain telling her to hop onto Stormfly and go help. But then again...Stoick did tell her to keep an eye on Hiccup... He's just hallucinating! She scolds herself. He doesn't know what he's saying! Regardless, she nods.

His grin widens as he clumsily leans in, as if to whisper in her ear. And despite the fact that he's obviously not in his right mind, she still shivers at their closeness and the feeling of fingers lacing with hers. "I love you..." He breathes, his voice bubbly and slurring and marred by another fit of giggles.

Astrid freezes, going rigid in his clumsy embrace. She can feel her face getting hotter as she draws away from him. He's hallucinating! She reminds herself again, even fiercer than before. "Wow, Hiccup!" She tries to laugh. "You're...really out of it, aren't you?"

He only smiles a big, goofy, buck-toothed grin before flopping onto his back again.
