This Changes Everything...

The Looks

(A/N: I don't remember anything about what this was about to just go with me. I love the picture. It was about Heather, right?)

Recently, more like, a minute ago, Tuffnut and Snotlout had become, "official best friends."

Of course, Hiccup and Astrid was ignoring them. As usual. They where having their own little, "moment" on the other side of the stables, talking.

"Astrid, Heather will be fine, she got Windsheer with her," Hiccup said, turning towards the girl he'd once almost lost.

Astrid braced herself, grabbing her arm with her right hand. "I know. I'm just...worried that she might get hurt or killed..." She said, looking down.

Hiccup leaned down his head a little, smiling softly. "Don't worry about her. It's Heather we're talking about..." He said, wanting to place his hand on her shoulder but hesitated when he saw her look down to the floor.

"Look, she'll be alright. She's a fighter, just like you..." He said. Astrid looked up at him for a second before looking towards Snotlout and Tuffnut.

"It'll be alright, Astrid," Hiccup reassured, taking a small step towards her.

Astrid turned to look at him. "You're right. I should maybe stop worrying and just relax..." She said, leaning towards him a little.

Hiccup smiled, his eyes drifting from hers to her pink lips.

They heard Toothless groin. A second later, the dragons snout was pressed against Hiccup's back and he was pushed forwards.

He stood up straight, making him several inches taller than the blonde in front of him.

"Toothless..." Hiccup said through gritted teeth. There was a dragon like laugh heard before he turned back towards Astrid.

"Sorry about that, he's a little eager-" She interrupted him by placing her hand on his cheek and stroking his lower lip with her thumb.

"You know...I never got to thank you for saving me the time I almost drowned. If you hadn't dived in after me, I would have been laying on the bottom of the ocean right now..." Astrid said softly.

Hiccup shuddered slightly, making Astrid smile. "Thank you, Hiccup. For saving me..." She said, pulling back her hand and wrapping her arms around his neck, hugging him.

"Oh, it was nothing, really," Hiccup said, slowly wrapping his arms around her back.

One his hands "slipped" on her shirt and landed on her waist. "If it was nothing...then why did it take so long then?" Astrid only meant that as a joke but when she got an answer, she haltered herself.

"I'm sorry. I was searching for you from our beaches to the outer parts of our sea line. When Snotlout told me which way you liked to fly, I use it as an coordination to find you. I'm sorry that I couldn't come sooner. I'm sorry..." Hiccup whispered, burring his nose into her neck.

She pulled back, holding him by his arms. "It's fine, Hiccup. You got there in time, alright. Don't worry about it anymore. It's fine now. Everything's fine now..." She said, ignoring it when Snotlout and Tuffnut rushed past them with a wheel cart.

Hiccup smiled, holding her by her waist. Astrid move her hands over his shoulder pads, up his neck and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Hiccup pulled her closer.

"What would I do without you?" She asked.

"I don't know. But I know one thing that I'll promise you..." Hiccup said, pulling back his head.

"And what would that be?" Astrid asked, looking up to meet his eyes.

"That I'll protect you. No matter what. From Dagger, from Ryker and from Viggo. No matter what it will cost me..."
