Scars

Set in Rtte

———————

Astrid stood in her hut, looking at herself in a mirror. All she had on at the moment was her leggings and breast biddings, with her hair out of its braid.

As she looked at herself, she could see every scar, burn, and bruise on her skin. She always would say "it's only fun if you get a scar out of it", but sometimes it wasn't that fun.

The blond Valkyrie found it a mystery that her boyfriend found her pretty. She thought for sure that if he ever saw without her shirt, he would be disgusted and want to leave her.

She traced the scar on her arm. Getting scars may not be fun, but the story behind each and every one of them would help her remember she survived.

The scar on her arm was from when she got the Scourge of Odin. This helped her remember that she survived a deadly disease with the boy she loved by her side, determined to get her the cure no matter what. She still can't believe Hiccup let Viggo take a dragon, that could be the last of its kind, just to save her life. This scar reminded of Hiccup's love for her.

Lifting her head up slightly to examine the scar on the base of her neck.

This scar she got from Viggo. This one helped her remember the time she survived another near death at the hands of man. When Viggo held her tightly, with an axe at her throat, next to a volcano, while talking to Hiccup about exchanging the dragon eye for Her. She still can't believe Hiccup destroyed his number one key to the knowledge of dragon race for her. This scar reminded her how much Hiccup valued her life over one of his prized possessions.

Turning her body to look at the scars on her back, realizing that she had many more.

Tracing more of her imperfections, she was reminded of every event in her life. Every scar she had reminded her of all the pain she's been through, but sometimes reminded of the good things too.

Taking her out of her thoughts was Hiccup walking into her hut.

"Hey Astrid I want to ask- Oh sorry"

At that moment, she started to panic grabbing her shirt and using it to cover her chest and stomach.

"HICCUP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE ?!" she yelled clutching the shirt tightly to her chest.

"I just wanted to ask you something," he said as he closed the door behind.

"I wish you knocked." She said quietly, holding the shirt even closer to her, hoping to cover herself.

Hiccup looked at her. Of course the first thing he noticed was her shirt was not an her and how she didn't dare to look up at his face.

And it was true Astrid was so ashamed she didn't want to see him, but most of all she didn't want him to see her.

"Hey, are you ok?" He asked, bringing a hand to her face.

She didn't want to look at him, but with the hand on her cheek, all she could do is melt in his warmth.

"Hey, what's wrong?" He pushed on. Bring his other hand to her face.

"I'm ashamed" She replied.

"Of what?"

"My scars" She admitted.

Confusion hit him immediately, why was she ashamed of her scars?

He just looked at her.

"Can I see them?"

"What"

"Can I see them?"

Astrid was shocked. Why would Hiccup want to see her scars? She still believed the idea that if he saw her scars he would think she was un ugly creature. She only turned her head away from him in shame.

"Please Astrid? I want to see your scars. "

She couldn't resist his green eyes. She slowly lowered her shirt from her chest. Hiccup's eyes focused on her.

When her shirt was lowered so he could get a clear view, he lifted his arm to feel the scar on her collarbone. Astrid watched with fear, feeling uneasy wash over her as he moved his fingers from one scar to the next. Hiccups hand soon travel from the scar on her shoulder to the scar under her chin to having her cheek in his. He looked deeply into her eyes, lowering down to kiss her lips. It was a slow kiss filled with emotion. Hiccup could feel her tense up.

As soon as he lifted his head up from the kiss he put his head on hers.

"Don't be afraid to show your scars, Astrid. You look beautiful with them." He said.

Astrid looked deeply into his eyes, but soon looked down with a hint of disbelief. Hiccup caught on to it.

Hiccups stepped back and started to take his shirt off . Astrid's eyes widened when he did, but soon changed when she saw how many scars, burns, and bruises he had. He looked at himself then looked back at Astrid.

He saw how her eyes widened as her eyes trailed from each scar. A deep blush crept to her face. As if he could make her any more nervous, he grabbed her hand and put it on the scar right above his chest. He still held tightly to her shirt. She stepped closer, letting her thumb trail on it.

Looking back at his face to see a sweet smile on it.

A small giggle made it way out of her mouth.

"I guess I'm not anyone with a couple things to hide."

Her hands let go of the shirt and trailed up and wrapped up around his neck, while he wrapped his chest around her waist tighty. He could feel her nuzzling herself in his chest.

"Thanks Hiccup."

With that she pulled back to look at him and crashed her lips on his, which took him by surprise, but he melted into the kiss after a second. With this little interaction, she felt less afraid to have Hiccup see. She now knew that Hiccup was just like her in a way. She felt she had someone to see her completely.
