Astrid's eyes widened as the memories hit her, and she sat up quickly, and Hiccup felt her hand crush his slightly as she felt the pain in her back hit her full force, though she didn't let it appear on her face. 
"Stormfly?" she asked urgently, and Hiccup was alarmed to note her body was trembling slightly. He lightly eased her back down onto her bed to try and let her back rest again.
"She's fine" he soothed, frowning when she cringed. "Sorry"
"It's okay... wasn't your fault" she raised a hand to touch her head and grimaced, and he guessed she had a particularly bad headache. "What happened after I fell? I can't really remember..."
"We tried to catch you" Hiccup told her, referring to himself and Toothless. "But we..." he trailed off and winced at the memory. "I thought you were dead" he admitted. "Gods Astrid...I'm so sorry... for everything..." 
"No, I'm sorry" Astrid frowned. "I shouldn't have gotten so angry at you and stormed off...I guess I should work on my temper"
Hiccup's lips twitched slightly but curved downwards into a frown again. "I should have listened to you" he sighed.  "Then you wouldn't have-"
"Hiccup."

"I mean... I've been blaming myself for this for the-"

"Hiccup."

"I thought you died, that you left us-"

"Hiccup!"

"...Yeah?"

"Shut up." 
She reached up to grasp his tunic, though her grip wasn't strong, and he allowed her to pull him down to her level and closed his eyes as her lips pressed against his gently.
"I'm not going anywhere" she mumbled against his lips. 
He pulled away and leaned his forehead against hers, a small lopsided smile taking over his face.
"I know you're not" he told her with a teasing grin. "You've gotta stay in bed until you heal"

"...Oh great!"
