By your side

Rtte-The darkest night

—————-

Stoick laid in his bed, conscious. The dragon flyers ambushed him, knocking him out cloud, and leaving Hiccup worried as hell. This was indeed the darkest night. 

Hiccup was sitting by his fathers side, holding his hand as if something would happen if he squeezed tighter. Gobber and Astrid were just about to walk out of the house.

"Guess it's in Thor's hands now." Gobber told Astrid.

"What part?"

"All of it."

Just before Astrid could walk out, she stopped and looked back at Hiccup. This was the time he needed someone by his side. To hold him, to calm him, to tell him everything is going to be okay.

"What are you thinking, lass?" Gobber asked, snapping Astrid out of her thoughts. Gobber was standing outside the door waiting for her.

"I think I'll stay with Hiccup for a while," She replied.

Gobber  smiled and close the door. She turned around and grabbed a chair to sit next to Hiccup.

"Astrid. . . Uh . . . What are you doing?" Hiccup asks. While she sat down and put her head on his shoulder.

"What, I can't sit next to my betrothed and keep him company?"

Hiccup smiles and grabs her hand and kisses the back of it.

"I love you Astrid and thank you for staying here with me" He replied.

All Astrid did was kiss his cheek and close her eyes. Hiccup knew she said I love you through that small gesture.

Hiccup looked at her with love. This was the girl that loved to be up and doing things. The girl who would rather be training then relaxing, but now she was here with him. Willing to fight boredom and give him the comfort he needed. This was the girl that he loved. And she loved him enough to stay and be by his side no matter what.

Soon enough nightfall came and Astrid fell asleep on Hiccup's shoulder. When he noticed that she was sleeping, he realized that it may be time to hit the hay.

Hiccup stood up from his chair and took one last glance at his father. Letting out a sigh, he picked up Astrid bridle style.

"Hiccup" she mumbled.

"Shh m'lady"

He carried her up the stairs with toothless following close behind and placed her down on his bed and got under the covers with her. Wrapping his arms around her waist. Holding her close to his chest.

He stared at her face. Admiring her beauty. He reached out and began moving her bangs so he could see more of her face. It seems she noticed his movements and opened her eyes a bit.

"Hiccup" she whispered.

"Goodnight, Astrid"

"Goodnight, Hiccup"

Closing her eyes, she put her head onto his chest, and nested into his neck. She felt a pair of lips kiss her forehead. She knew she would sleep well Tonight, but the same was not said for Hiccup.

All night he had memories of his father. Tossing and turning his head. He couldn't sleep. Once gave up on sleeping he opened his eyes to find Astrid sleeping peacefully. He wishes he could be the same right now, but he couldn't. So he decided to get up, gently moving Astrid not to wake her. Soon enough he walked out and went to the Great Hall. Unaware of the blonde that saw him walk out.

As soon as his arms left her body. She felt a cold. A cold only known by lovers. When one leaves the other feels it. Soon enough she woke up. This boy was in more pain then she thought, but no matter what she will be by his side and nothing will change that.
