Sleep

A/N: Sorry for the 5235 word chapter! Takes place in the middle of season 4. After the Dire Straits episode.

-Astrid PoV-

After the last encounter with Viggo and his Dragon Hunters, Hiccup has worked non stop. Whether he was in the Clubhouse, arena, or in his hut, he was constantly working.

At first none of us noticed how tired he was. It was the sixth day of his obsession when I realized he hasn't slept in days.

Today happened to be the sixth day.

I walked into the Clubhouse to see Hiccup working on some map while the others were eating.

"Morning, guys." I said walking in. Everyone replied but Hiccup. "Hey, you okay?"

I sat next to him, trying to get his attention. He looked at me. His eyes were filled with exhaustion.

"Yeah, I'm fine." He answered. I would've believed him if I didn't see his eyes.

"No, you're not." I stated. Everyone looked at us. The twins shared a look and glued their eyes on us.

"Astrid, I'm fine." Hiccup assured me. This time, he refused to meet my eyes. He focused on the map in front of him.

Heather started picking up on what I was seeing. "Astrid is right. You're not fine."

"Guys I swear, nothing is wrong." Hiccup said trying to finish his map identification. Fishlegs looked between the three of us.

"I agree with the girls on this one." Fishlegs said. "The way you've been acting earlier, proves that."

Tuffnut and Ruffnut walked over to Hiccup. Tuff studied Hiccup from head to toe.

"I've figured it out!" He announced proudly. "His leg is missing!"

Ruffnut punched her brother. "You idiot! It's been missing for years!"

"Really? Does Stoick know?" Tuff asked dumbfounded.

"Hiccup, tell us the truth." I said. "I'll get the truth one way or another."

"I said I was fine!" Hiccup snapped. He stood abruptly slamming his hands into the table.

"That proves my point." I said calmly. I called for Toothless. The Night Fury was sleeping in the corner until Hiccup's tantrum. "Has he been sleeping?"

Toothless shook his head and grunted as if saying no.

"So your on their side now?" Hiccup asked his dragon. Toothless nodded in understanding.

"Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile." Toothless smacked Hiccup with his tail.

"Hiccup, how many days?" I asked.

"Six." He said honestly.

"Go back to your hut and sleep." I ordered him. Snotlout laughed.

"You're getting ordered around like a kid!" He laughed harder. Hiccup shot him a glare that caused him to shut up.

"Astrid, I'm fine. I don't need-"
