It've been a week since that little Dagur incedence.
Hiccup was still unconsious and Astrid spent most of her time by his side.
The rest of the teens would visit him too, but the felt guilty for letting this happen to him so they didn't spend as much time as Astrid there. They were usually hanging out with their future selves and their families. Astrid was surprised to learn that Snotlout had actualy got married. Guess everything is possible.
Astrid was know outside the Haddock rezident, feeding Toothless since her older self was training with Val and Hiccup was cooking. The rest of the teens were also around, Snotlout and the twins were pretending to be monsters and were chasing after little Emma while Finn talked to Fishlegs about the new kinds of dragons they discovered.
Toothless moaned and nuzled her, trying to cheer her up.
"Thanks Toothless. I just wish he'd wake up. I just miss him."
And, as if on cue, the door of the house opened, revealing Hiccup in a brown apron that said KISS THE CHIEF.
"Get the healers!" he said. "Hiccup woke up!"
The basket of fish Astrid had been holding fell to the ground and Toothles attacked it, eating every single fish inside of it, the running to the house. Emma run to the healers and every one else inside to see Hiccup.
When the healers came, they kicked every one out to examine Hiccup. The teens were angry that they got kicked out like that but not Astrid. She was just at the thought of him being alive.
When the healers left, they said Hiccup was perfectly fine, he just needs to take it easy for a while.
As soon as he got to his feet, the rest of the teens dragged him along to meet their older selfs and their families.
Astrid didn't do anything. She just stood at the side, watching him being his usual, sarcastic self.
It was at the sunset, after dinner, that Astrid walked up to him at told him to walk with her. Hiccup would have asked her if she aet anything funny because that would be the only way Astrid Hofferson would wanna spent time with him. He accepted anyway, though.
They walked in silence. They started a few, really akward, conversessions a few times but it work out.
Without realizing it, they walked in the cove. They just stood there, in silence.
Then Astrid punsched him in the gut.
"Ow! What was that for?!"
"Tha's for scaring me!"
"Scar-How did I scared you?"!
"I thought you were gonna die!"
Astrid was crying. Not even time-travel was more wierd thatn that.
And the akward silence returned.
"You... were scrared because you thought I was gonna die?"
"... Yes."
"But why?"
"Oh, I don't know Hiccup!" she snapped. "Maybe because we'd all be doomed if you died or that Toothless would probably kill himself if you were dead? Or maybe, because I had a crush on you since we were six?!"
After a few quite minutes, Hiccup broke the silence.
"I'm sorry."
She looked at him.
"For- for scaring you."
She wiped a few tears from her eyes with the back of her wrist and smiled at him.
"No, it's okay."
"Hiccup?" she said after a while.
"Yes?"
"What was that stupid thing you were about to do? The reason why we ended up here?"
He tensed.
"Oh. Well, I was about to killmyself" he said the last words so fast, no person alive could have understood what he said.
"What?"
"I was about to... kill myself."
"You-!"
And she punched him in the gut. Again.
"Ow! Now, what was that for!?"
"For wanting to kil yourself!"
Before he was able to protest, Astrid grabed him from his tunic and kissed him right on the lips. And unlike the kiss she would give when he'll wake up after almost dieing again, there wasn't anyone around now. Meaning this kiss lasted a lot longer.
When they finaly pulled apart, they were hugging and smiling stupidly at each other.
"And that's for everything else."
"But I haven't done that much."
"Not yet. But you will. So promise me you won't die on me."
"I can't promise that."
She glared at him.
"But I'll try."
"Good."
And with that, the two teens, and the others disapeared, returning on their own time.
Hiccup woke up on the floor of his house. The dagger wad still in his hand. It took him a couples of minutes to remember what he was doing. Oh, yeah that. Well better get over with this. He raised the knife and... he could't do it.
He didn't know why. He simply got that feeling, telling him not to do it. Like that feeling he got whe he left the forge when Gobber cleary told him not to. Only this one was stronger. Like someone more important tjan Gobber told him not to, for something more important than destroying the village.
He found it wierd, but he didn't question it, like hadn't questioned the feeling that told him to not kill the Night Fury.
He looked outside the window. He better go to dragon training. Don't wanna let that dragon waiting a lot to kill him.
