Hiccup brought Astrid to his house. She was so stubborn until Hiccup had to drag her and pull her.
"Let me go!" She pulled backwards as they arrived in front of his front door.
Hiccup held her tight and opened the door.
"Mom. I'm home. We have a guest and she's wounded. Well, not much but still. Wounded." He called and Valka came.
She take a little look at Astrid's hand who is still struggling to run away from them.
"This is easy to cure. All you need is water to flush them. You go wait upstairs while I prepare them." Valka said and rushed to the kitchen.

"Come on, let's get you up there." Hiccup pull her and lead her upstairs. "Let me go!" Astrid shouted as she went in his room.
Valka came in the room and brought the supplies. She left them both.
Hiccup locked the door and let her go.
"Why would you bring me here?!? I don't need those. No one cares anyway." Astrid said and tears fell from her eyes.
"What about me?!? I do care about you. That's why I brought you here. To help you clean those." Hiccup explained. "Now sit down."
Astrid sat down at the corner, leaning on the wall. Tears kept falling down from her eyes.
Hiccup sat beside her and took the little cotton. He put it on the edge of the bowl of water.
"Hand me your arm." He said. Astrid turn to him and glance away. She slowly move her arm to him.
"Okay. Hold still. It might hurt a little but trust me you'll be fine." He said as he carefully wipe her cuts.

Astrid winced in pain and felt like her hand was chopped into pieces. 'I'm totally not doing this again. It hurts a lot.' She thought as she cried.
Hiccup wiped her cuts and looked at her. She was wincing and crying. All together mixed up.
Astrid tried to hold her pain but she can't. It really hurts a lot. After Hiccup finished wiping and cleaning her cuts, he wrapped her hands with a cloth.
He wipe her tears away and said, "Why did you do this? Look. I know it's my fault but you don't have to hurt yourself."
•••
Astrid sighed. "I just can't stop thinking about you. I tried everything. Even this. I just can't forget you." She sobbed.
"No, no. Stop crying. Hey. Look at me. I'm sorry. Okay? For everything. If you would just give me one more chance. I'll give my best." He lift up her chin and look at her.
Astrid nodded. "Okay. I'll give you one. But you've gotta promise not to cheat!" She said.
"Yeah. One more chance. That's all I need. I'm sorry, Astrid. Really, really sorry." He replied and pull her into a hug.
Astrid hugged him tight. She really missed him. 'I'm sorry, too. I made you worried.' She thought and let out a sigh.
•••
"Astrid. You gotta promise something to me." Hiccup pull off and said.
"What is it?" She asked, wiping her little tears on her eyes.
"Don't you ever hurt yourself again! Do you promise?" He raised an eyebrow and pretend to look mad.
"Oh for Thor's sake. I promise! I would never do that again cause it hurts a lot!" Astrid said and laughed.
"Good." Hiccup smiled. "It's nice to see you laugh again."
Astrid smiled. "I missed you, Hiccup. I really do." She hugged him and he hug her back.
