Third POV

Clang!

"Tired already, Haddock?" Astrid grinned at Hiccup.

Hiccup chuckled and shook his head before pushing his Inferno sword forward, making Astrid stumble backward. But she gripped her axe tightly, then spun around. She swung her axe fast, and Hiccup saw it coming, so he ducked, put one hand on the ground, and slid his foot toward Astrid.

But she quickly flipped backward, then charged at Hiccup, who blocked her axe with his Inferno.

The arena was filled with clanking and swooshing sounds. The two continued to battle, neither stopping unless one of them had the other on the ground. Both were determined to take the other down.

After minutes of swinging and blocking, the two panted on opposite sides of the arena, gripping their weapons. They were so focused that they didn’t notice an explosion behind the arena and a large tree flying toward Astrid.

Hiccup noticed it and widened his eyes when he realized the tree was going to crush Astrid—his betrothed.

"Astrid!"

Hiccup lunged forward, grabbing her waist and putting his hand on the back of her head. He let himself roll down on the ground toward the other side of the arena, making sure not to crush Astrid.

The two stopped rolling, and Hiccup saw the tree hit the ground of the arena. He glared at it.

"Uhh… Hiccup…" Astrid said, and Hiccup looked down to see Astrid staring at him with a slight blush.

He still had one hand on the back of her head and the other on her waist, somehow not crushing her. The two stared at each other, still panting from the training earlier. Hiccup suddenly had the urge to kiss her—she just looked so pretty.

Astrid’s heart was beating fast at the way Hiccup was looking at her. Her heart warmed at the way he held her. He made sure her head wouldn’t get hurt. She smiled nervously at him, and Hiccup laughed, making Astrid laugh too.

"Finally got you down, m’lady," Hiccup said, then chuckled, which made Astrid roll her eyes.

"Love on the arena, eh son? I expect grandbabies soon."

The two whipped their heads toward the entrance of the arena and saw Stoick smirking. He laughed when he saw the two blushing, then walked toward the large tree inside the arena.

Hiccup groaned. He grabbed Astrid’s hand, and the two sat up. Hiccup was still holding her hand, and she just smiled at him. He stood up and pulled Astrid up.

"Where did the tree come from, Dad?" Hiccup asked.

Stoick looked at them. "The twins thought it would be a good idea to catapult large trees, and somehow this one flew in here."

Hiccup just sighed. The twins caused more chaos in Berk every day, and he was getting tired of it. They interrupted his and Astrid’s training, and they were going to pay for it.

"Now don’t be mad, Hiccup. They didn’t mean to interrupt something." Stoick winked at him and laughed.

The couple turned red. Astrid covered her face, and Hiccup widened his eyes.

"Uh- no, um, Dad- we weren’t-" Hiccup was cut off when Astrid punched him.

"You’re making it worse," Astrid hissed, and Hiccup looked at her.
