One night, Astrid couldn't sleep, she just sat in her bed, thinking of different things, until she heard something outside her hut.
She grabbed her axe, went out and attacked
"Astrid! It's Hiccup, please don't kill me, I still want to live a little bit more."
"Oh, it's you, sorry"
She helped him get up
"Why are you sneaking around?"
"I'm not 'sneaking' around, I couldn't sleep, I was heading out and you attacked me, what about you, why are awake, it's midnight"
"Same here"
"I have an idea, come on"
Hiccup took her hand and dragged her to toothless, he mounted the dragon and held his hand to help her up
"What are you going to do?"
"Bring back some memories"

Astrid was spellbound as the stars fell like fireflies around her.
The aurora Borealis lifted its billowing skirts over her head; the clouds skirted around her cheeks as she drifted through them. The night was like water, and she was floating in it.
She lifted her arms into the sky as she did every time, and shivered as the clouds skimmed over her fingertips, she gazed into the endless moonlight around her and sighed, long and soft.
This was freedom. This was beauty.
It never lost its magnitude, flying with Hiccup through the limitless stardust and moonlight. She knew it never would.
She had never seen the stars until he had shown them to her. On that night 3 years ago, she had felt herself change, in a way so quiet she hardly noticed it until she placed her lips on his cheek in the darkness of the cove.
Hiccup turned his head to gaze at her, a practice he never tired of. Her braid was iridescent in the moonlight and twisted behind her like a cloak. The stars above were like freckles in her ardent eyes. The smile on her lips would dim the sun itself, he was certain.
He felt her heart beating into his back as she pressed herself to him, embracing him, resting her chin on his shoulder. His body pulsed in unison with it.
"I can feel your heartbeat,"
He murmured. She blinked and her eyes glanced aside at him. He laughed.
"Sorry. Awkward."
Astrid beamed and squeezed him gently in her arms.
"I can feel you blushing,"
She retorted, and Hiccup cleared his throat and looked away. He frowned after a moment and turned his head in her direction.
"Is that even possible?"
"Shut up and drive."
Toothless glanced back and rolled his eyes at the sight of the humans laughing nervously, it wasn't even funny.
He wasn't in the mood to listen to that, and so, with a toothy grin, he dropped his body to the side and plummeted down toward the ocean, and he realized how much he'd missed hearing Astrid scream in terror.

"BAD TOOTHLESS!"
