Hiccup x Astrid Just a dream

Chapter 43

Astrid

"-I love you so much Astrid. And daguar knew that-"

He did...

He knew...

He tricked us....

That was his plan all along...

Make Hic think it was me he was after...

But the reality of it..harsh..cruel... Reality..is that he wanted Hiccup dead all along....

Now he's gone...

My hero...

My first love...

First kiss...

My fiance..

Daguar is the reason he's gone...

And now sitting in his room staring at the wall ...

I cry again..

I look up through my tears and see a sketch he drew of us..

He was on toothless, I was standing near, toothless had his head down and we are in Valka's sanctuary....

Hic and I are kissing...

He has this very photo pinned to the wall right above his work space I get up and pull it off the wall. I smile down at it and fold it. I hold it with me. I promised myself I would put it in my room so I can still see his face...so I can always remember the way his eyes had almost lit up like a lantern when he was excited or how when he an idea he would stroke his chin. And his almost existent beard...I'll remember every feature on his face...

People forget what you say...

They forget what you do...

But like Hiccup used to do...
Make me feel loved...wanted...beautiful...

People will never forget how you made them feel....

As I stood in his room I could almost hear and see everything that had happened to us over the past 5 years....

Valka walked in as I erupted into another wave of tears..

"How are you holding up ?"

"Oh you know... Just fine" sarcasm clear in my voice.

"What have they done with Hic?"

"They brought him in the forge...they plan to have a ceremony for him in the morning. And put a tribute to him near the medhall"

I smile wiping tears away as I went to sit on his bed. Leaning back against the frame remembering the moments we spent cuddled together in the afternoon laughing at each other.

"Good he deserves it."

"He does"

She came closer.

" I know it hurts lass. Trust me. I've lost the two most important men in my life. But you always have me." He takes my hand in hers and holds it tight. I smile at her beautiful face. And her feminine features that resemble hiccup's so much. I squeeze her hand back.

"And you have me."

She smiles.

" I was going to be your mother in law anyway. Why not go ahead and think if me that way? Astrid, you are family."

I smile back.

"So are you val" I had started calling her this a few months ago when I felt for comfortable with her. " I promise I'll come keep you company everyday. I'll drop by and help you with the dragons. I'll even help you at the sanctuary."

" I love love that"

And with that, Val agreed to let me stay the night here, where we could grieve together, comfort each other,I could stay in Hic's room for the night... And I was glad...

It meant I could be closer to him...but not in the way I wanted to be...

I could remember time and time again...

Where I could inhale his scent one last time...

Where I could remember how beautifully strong our relationship will always be...
