AN: The song above is the one I chose for Hiccup and Lilly, I found the lyrics very fitting in their situation. :) Feel free to listen to it for Lilly's POV.

Lilly's POV

I pressed my ear against the wooden door and listened for my brother's footsteps to fade away. After a few more heartbeats I carefully opened it, trying not to make too much noise. Thank Thor a small creak was the only sound that echoed from the walls. I stuck my head out and peeked into the dimly lit hallway. No one there. Good.

"Won't you stay in your own bed again, my love?" Shadow's chuckling voice resounded in my head. I turned and found her big blue eyes staring at me with an amused sparkle.

"I sleep better when not alone, Shadow. You know that." I said, a small smile on my lips.

"Oh yes, I noticed that you enjoy a special company lately." her soft dragon laughter filled my ear and I shot her a playful glare before I snuck out of my room.

My feet found their way to Hiccup's room almost by themselves and I pushed the door open to find him lying on the bed on his stomach and drawing something into his notebook. Hiccup looked up and greeted me with a wide grin. "Evening milday, I almost thought you wouldn't come."

I faked a dramatic sigh and walked over to him. "Are you ever going to give up calling me that?"

Hiccup closed his notebook, dropped it on the floor and rolled onto his back to make space for me. He had already taken off his armour and boot and I sat down on the edge of the bed to do the same.

A shudder of delight rushed through my body when I felt Hiccup brush my hair aside to reveal skin. "No, not planning to." he whispered close to my ear, then his lips found their way to my neck, kissing and nibbling and I sighed at it. I was sensitive there, something Hiccup had figured out rather quickly and right now I felt myself growing weak from the pleasurable touch. Why would I even argue?

My eyes fell closed but snapped open again a second later as I heard a light rustling sound along with a soft chuckle from beside Hiccup's bed. I pulled myself away from Hiccup, who gave me a questioning look till I gestured him to look behind us. Toothless had his head rested onto the bed and eyed us with amused interest. Hiccup cleared his throat and scratched the back of his head. "Uh...mind giving us a little privacy, bud? I'm sure Shadow and Hope miss you too..."

Toothless made a crooning sound and I could hear his laughter in my mind as he rolled his eyes at us but eventually trotted out of the room. "Mating time seems to be rather frequently for humans..." I heard him grumble and had to bite back a laugh. Hiccup and I must have been pretty obvious about it.

"Thanks bud, I owe you one." Hiccup called after the black dragon before he brought me down with him so that we were lying face to face. I hummed in contentment as Hiccup brought his hand up to caress my cheek.

"How's your head doing?" I asked in a hushed tone.

"Much better. And what about your nightmares?" he whispered, his eyes showing honest concern.

"I haven't seen Ryker or grandfather in my dreams lately. But there is still his face...it haunts me Hiccup...wherever I go." I whispered back, feeling a single tear drop from my eye.

Hiccup quickly brushed it away with his thumb and brought our foreheads together. I took in a shuddered breath and closed my eyes. I didn't want to be reminded of what happened to me, Ryker and grandfather right now. The images were slowly but steadily emerging inside of me and I tried to fight them back under the walls I started to build inside my soul. Maybe if I only manage to suppress them long enough, they would disappear. That was what I hoped at least, the lie I wanted to make myself believe.
