This Changes Everything...

Naps Under The Open Sky

(A/N: I feel like I'm getting very creative with my titles.)

He felt his eyelids droop and his vision go blurry as Toothless slowly flew through the sky, carrying his best friend and Astrid.

The evening was calm, no danger in sight since there hadn't been anything for days and it was soothing. More so for Hiccup than the others.

He had been the one to stay up nights, making plans, weapons and figuring out ways to defeat Viggo and Krogan.

Astrid saw through his lies when he told her that he was fine. The bags under his eyes were a sign of him not sleeping much and it made him look older than what he really was.

Astrid sighed. She wished he would finally catch a rest. The day they had flown away to find that plant was the best sleep they had gotten, - in weeks.

Hiccup had pulled her in before they went on their Moonlit Flight and started humming an old childhood song that used to go around in the village when they were smaller.

Astrid had laughed at him when he had taken her hand and twirled her around, pressing his chest to her back and wrapping his arm around her waist.

She'll never forget that evening. How he held her and kissed the side of her head. How he danced with her and how he loved her that night. The way he held her before them falling asleep, - she'll never forget anything from that night.

Hiccup swayed in front of her and she wrapped her arms around his chest rather than around his waist. "Hiccup...are you okay?" She asked slowly, waiting for a reply.

It took him a few moment before he looked back and nodded. "Yeah, I'm fine," He said, his eyes droopy.

Astrid looked at him before looking down below them. They were flying over a clearing slowly. "Toothless," she started and waited for the dragon to grumble.

The Night Fury gave out a deep grumble and slightly turned his head to look back at them. "Can you land in that clearing under us?" She asked and Toothless nodded, slowly starting to descend with a small turn.

Once down in the ground, Hiccup almost fell off the back of the dragon and into the ground. "Why did we land, Astrid?" Hiccup asked softly, looking around.

The blonde looked at her lover and walked up to him, taking his hand. "You're too tired to be flying like that. I had to hold you so you wouldn't slip off and fall to your death," She said softly and started to lead him towards a three, away from the sun.

Toothless curled up beside the three and gestured for them to use him as a support. Astrid smiled and sat down at Toothless' stomach.

Hiccup did the same and leaned his head on her shoulder. "You really need to get some sleep, babe," She whispered to him and he nodded, to tired to argue with her.

They weren't far from the Club House but the others would start looking for them. Astrid whistled and waited. Not long after that, a turquoise-ish Terrible Terror showed up behind the three and walked up to Astrid. She pulled out a paper and a pen, writing a not to the others where they were and when they'd probably be back.

She sent the dragon away with the letter before turning her attention back to her betrothed.

Hiccup was about to doze off when she moved and removed her skirt, - the idea of it was for him to be able to use her lap as a pillow.
