Run Away and Back Again (HTTYD)

A Little Less Conversation

The flight was exaggerating, well of course it's a term that Hiccup would describe but for Astrid........It was unlikely between death defying and exciting.

After another round of argument convincing Astrid that it's safe to ride Toothless, the dragon himself also didn't want to give the maiden a ride but the dragon smirked thinking that this was a good payback from five years ago.

The first trial was nerve wrecking. Hiccup suggested she should fly by her own with Toothless. Both Toothless and Astrid eagerly disagree. Once Hiccup had relaxed Toothless he boosted Astrid up to sit and he followed just infront of her. Hiccup guided Toothless, slowly glided and lightly, on top of a tall tree, making it bend because of the weight of the three . The girl behind him had grasp his abdomen so tight even though it was just a light glide, Astrid was not yet pleased flying in the sky but the way they glided had made it clear that the Night Fury wasn't dangerous.

Hiccup then ordered Toothless to gently land and to make sure not to scare the girl riding with them, but the dragon wasn't satisfied just yet, he needed to avenge his bestfriend at all cost. She won't walk away without saying she's convinced and sorry.

Without warning Toothless soared high up away from the sea and the ground. Astrid was screaming for her life while gripped on to Hiccup tightly. Hiccup knew such would happen, he knew Toothless would scare the wits out of her, he knew this was another way to convince her so he pretended he was commanding Toothless to stop. Though he didn't want to stop because he was enjoying this too much.

She did say so she needed a crazy ride.

After the flight

"You could have just warned me earlier" Astrid said as she was hanging her boots on a tree branch above the fire.

Their flying sessions was a success but what she did not fore see was the unexpected crash landing. She was near to death while Hiccup was cheering and whooping saying 'that was awesome'.

"Oh Toothless just needed to practice his landing without me" He replied while he laid his boots and himself beside the fire. Toothless gave out this 'oh really' look before he threw a stone at him.

They thought back to Hiccup's failed free falling.

Just about past an hour ago before they landed, Astrid got a hold of how to ride on Toothless when Hiccup got off. The wind against here skin felt amazing, she had also imagined that she was touching the sky. The sun was setting and was at awe with the view above the grounds. Toothless continued to glide freely for Astrid but was interrupted when Hiccup jumped in front of Astrid and sat once again with them. He changed the stirrup so he could control Toothless's of a ail It was a flight to remember, Astrid reached out to hold the clouds, it was abit cold and moisty but she didn't care, they flew above and below the clouds making a good 360 turn till the night sky was lit with the night lights of the north. The bird's eye view of Berk was beautiful from above especially at night when the villagers light up their tiny houses below. The wind on her skin felt good, the breezy air felt relaxing and she imagined she could touch the sky no wonder how amazing was it to fly. It was amazing. They were amazing. She said out it out loud which the two had heard behind them. She then patted Toothless which the dragon gave her a reassuring gummy smile.

Hiccup was overwhelmed to hear Astrid appreciating the both of them. How could he not thought of taking Astrid on a flight back then? He too enjoyed looking at Astrid enjoying herself flying on a dragon. Who would have thought this tough maiden wanted to fly above the clouds! Just then an idea came to him, he unbuckled his safety belt from Toothless and wore his helmet. Toothless felt Hiccup's buckle loosen in his sides and heard Astrid asking Hiccup 'what are you doing?'
