Dawn of Destruction

WHEEEE THE HICCSTRID LITTLE VACATION IN DAWN OF DESTRUCTION GOT ME DAT FEELS.

"Would you just go already!" Snotlout yelled, as Hiccup and Astrid mounted their dragons and with a roar Toothless and Stormfly shot into the air on the way to a near by island which grew the sassafras plants Hiccup needed for his...secret project.

When Trader Johann told Hiccup and Astrid he didn't procur the oil, Hiccup shot Astrid a look which his girlfriend immediately understood; you and i are going to this island together, alone. Astrid never felt so euphoric and ecstatic in a while. 

The trip was thirty minutes away. Every minute or so Hiccup would look behind or beside him at Astrid and give her a tiny smile, which Astrid reciprocated. She felt loved, that Hiccup would not forget she was there and gave her love every few minutes, even if it was a glance or a smile.

Twenty minutes into the flight Hiccup patted the side of Toothless' head and the dragon did a loop in the air on top of Stormfly, turning upside down and at the same time Hiccup, the boy pressing a short, but nevertheless passionate, cheeky kiss to her lips before Toothless tucked his wings and fell, disappearing under the cover of the clouds. Astrid only got to see his smirk for a second before disappearing below her. 

"Hiccup!" Astrid shouted with a huge grin of her face. She tugged at Stormfly's saddle and they spiraled downwards below the clouds, scanning the distance, without any sight of the black Night Fury and the smart - arsed auburn haired boy on top.

"Hiccupppp!" Astrid yelled again, no response. She was about to call his name again when a black mass of Toothless zips past her, followed by breaking winds that sent her hair flying.

Hiccup's mischievous smile grinned at her as he yelled over his shoulder, "Race you there!"  

Astrid huffed under her breath, "Oh, it's so on."

After landing and having a playful little tackle, fighting for who won the race, they set out to what they were meant to do, the dragons took a rest while Hiccup and Astrid surveyed the forest. 

"It's getting dark." Astrid stated as she eyed the sky, the sun steadily retreating beneath the sea line, bringing the bright casts of day down with it and letting the moon rise with her dark colours and stars.

"We should set up camp, then. The extraction process will take awhile, we should do that tomorrow. If we finish up fast enough, we can have the rest of the day all to ourselves." Hiccup gave her a lopsided smile, getting onto his feet from the bushes he was looking through to walk up to Astrid and peck her cheek, making Astrid's cheeks lift.

"I like that idea." Astrid agreed, reaching up to place her hand on his chest.

Hiccup laughed, walking up to Toothless and unstrapped he and Astrid's tent. "Collect some firewood, Milady. I'll get our tent set up." He hefted the bundle of leather and metal sticks. 

Astrid nodded and took off into the gathering of thick trees to find fallen branches and small twigs, along with large rocks.

When she got back five minutes later, Hiccup had already got most of their tent up, sticking a few metal supports into the sides and he was done.

"You're handy." Astrid complimented with an impressed look as she dumped the wood into a pile and started to surround it with big, heavy rocks. She knew he was very skillful in the making department, another reason why her boyfriend was so perfect. He could sharpen her axe, re-balance the weight and re-grip the handle in a matter of minutes. He could invent new things; Toothless's tail, Inferno, the Dragon Eye...he was incredible.
