He was running.
Jumping.
Slipping and sliding.
"Toothless! Toothless!" He called out.
But no one came to save him.
Daggers attacked him on all sides, scraping his clothes and cutting his skin.
He sped up, desperate to get away.
He bumped into someone.
"Hey please..."
He stopped.
"Dad..."
"Why would I help you, my pathetic, useless son?"
"Dad, no... please..."
"I'm glad you're gone, now Berk won't have to worry about burning to the ground from your existence! You've brought bad luck everywhere you go!"
"Stop..."
"In fact, you and your bad luck is the reason Valka is dead."
"STOP!" Hiccup screamed, bolting upright in bed.
Astrid was instantly by his side. "Hiccup, are you okay? Here, drink this." She said, handing him a glass of water.
"I'm sorry." Hiccup said while sipping his glass, "It's been almost two years, and I haven't improved one bit."
Astrid fondly ruffled his hair. "Hey, don't stress. You've made some improvement, and even then, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you feel happy. Are you happy?"
He looked at her.
"Yeah, I am." He said, knowing he was 100% honest with that statement.
Astrid entwined their hands and leant in to kiss him.
"So, we should probably go and have breakfast now. I heard Valka's making omelettes."
"We only bought those eggs yesterday!" Hiccup complained, but got up with Astrid anyway. "We need to save them."
"Didn't I tell you not to stress?" Astrid giggled. "Anyways what's the harm in using three eggs? We've got nine left afterwards, so we'll still have quite a few."
"Alright." Hiccup relented. "Lets go."
As they walked outside, they saw hundreds of happy dragons, playing, flying and eating together, making Hiccup smile. Seeing Hiccup smile, Astrid also smiled, and leant into his arm.
"Honestly, I'm so happy here, with you." She said, completely calm and relaxed.
"Yeah." Hiccup agreed, leaning into her also.
"I could stay here forever."
