A S T R I D

It's been 3 days and Hiccup and I haven't really spent time with each other. He was always either with Stoick or with Gobber.

The others have noticed too. They told me probably he has missed a lot so Stoick and Gobber just let him catch up on things. But still, he doesn't even kiss me or say hi because I've never seen him these past 3 days. It's weird.

"It's okay Astrid. Maybe he's just doing manly stuff" Ruff says patting my back. I sighed.

"Like what?"

"Maybe watching himself on the mirror, flexing his muscles. He did get hot and buff the past years" Ruff shrugged.

"I agree but if you get any ideas about my boyfriend, you know what's gonna happen" I replied.

"Yeah no thanks but remember I've got Snotlout. Sure we're not the most romantic couple on Valentine's day but we are the most destructive couple" She smirks.

I smiled.

"How nice" Snotlout says.

"Gosh I just wonder what Hiccup's doing that's so important" I said.

"We'll never know. But we kinda need something to get your mind off something. Dragon racing?" Fishlegs suggested.

I smirked and got up.

"Already ahead of ya!" I giggled.

...

I licked my lips as I saw Snotlout ahead of me with the black sheep.

"Steady Stormfly" I say then I slowly stood up on Stormfly. I felt the wind brushing through ever inch of my body. Gods this feels so great.

When we got really close to Hookfang, I jumped on Hookfang's back. I ran to Snotlout and snatched the black sheep from his grip. I then jumped up to grab a roof with my other hand, and I watched Hookfang and Snotlout fly farther away from me.

"Stormfly!" I said and it took her a good 20 seconds to come to my aid and I finally dropped down on her.

"What took you so long?!" I asked and she just growled. We flew to the net and I dropped the black sheep and the crowd cheered.

I put my fists up in the air and heard the crowd cheer.

"YEAH! WE DID IT AGAIN STORMFLY!" I rubbed her back and she purred.

"ASTRID ASTRID ASTRID!" The crown chanted and I smiled at them.

After everybody calmed down, I landed Stormfly on the ground and mounted off her.

Stormfly then started licking her foot. What?

I tilted my head and kneeled down on her foot. I saw something shiny tied to her foot. I took a closer look to see it was a shiny gold ring. It was beautiful. I took it out from her foot and studied the ring.

But, who's is this? And how did it get there?

I heard the crowd gasp and I looked around. I scratched my head.

What are they so shocked about. Their eyes were almost out of their sockets.

I saw Snotlout mouthing to me, 'Turn Around' and I did. Then I saw something that completely made my heart stop.

Hiccup kneeled on one knee holding fresh flowers.

"Hiccup? What in Thor's name are you doing?! Get up!" I said.

"No, take these" He says giving me the flowers. I held them tightly.

What if he's....... NO!

This might be a sick joke.

"Astrid Hofferson, this past few months have been a wild dragon ride for both of us. Whenever we thought we were going to live happily together, something always comes in between us, maybe due to jealousy or anger. But I noticed one thing. I noticed no matter how bad the situations get, we are still there for each other at the end of the day. You love me, and I love you. And that's all that matters. I am here today, kneeling before you, to ask if you would want stay with me forever, in my arms, and in my heart. For you to call me your husband, and for me to call you my wife. Will you marry me?" He asks gently taking the ring away from me and I just stood there still processing.

He's actually proposing. He's proposing! Oh my great Thor he's proposing. I started crying in joy.

"Oh Thor I'm sorry for proposing" He says when he saw me cry.

I shook my head, dropped the flowers and tackled him on the ground, hugging him.

"Of course I'll marry you, you fishbone" I giggled and the crowd started erupting in cheers and claps. I kissed every inch of his face then finally he pulled me to kiss him on the lips. I smiled and my tears were still falling down.

I'm engaged. I'm engaged with Hiccup. Oh my gosh.

"FOR ASTRID AND HICCUP!" Stoick yells.

"FOR ASTRID AND HICCUP!" The crowd yells after.

We pulled away and he wiped my tears.

I smiled wide showing my teeth.

"Stop crying beautiful" He smiles wide, brushing my tears away.

"How can I? The fishbone I love so much proposed to me!" I replied getting off him and helping him up. He took my hand in his and gently placed the ring on my ring finger.

"Hiccup, I'm so happy" I said kissing him again.

"I'm the happiest" He whispers hugging me tightly and burying his face into my neck.

I smiled and stroked his hair.

"Oh and you were amazing at the race, babe" He says.

I giggled.

"And you were amazing with that proposal speech" I nudged him.

"Thank you, took me 3 days to write such a short speech and make that ring" He chuckles.

"Short but meaningful" I corrected.

"All worth it" He says and we stared into each other's eyes.

"CELEBRATION AT THE GREAT HALL!" Stoick says and the crowd followed him to the Great Hall while me and Hiccup followed behind everybody holding hands and leaning my head on his shoulder.

Life can't get any better than this :')
