Two weeks. It had been two weeks since they had relocated the Snow Wraiths so that the Dragon Hunters couldn't get a tooth for the Dragon Eye.

These past two weeks have been long for a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She knew the boy with auburn hair and green eyes was mad at her. But he never took this long to forgive someone. Especially her. She knew he cared for her. But maybe not as much as she thought. They had become best friends. He was the only one she could really talk too and have a serious conversation with. He knew everything about her. From the smallest thing being him knowing her favorite color to her biggest secret. She had never lied to him.

That is until, Heather and her became secret enemies so Heather could take down the Hunters from the inside. Now the thing here is that, Astrid didn't want to lie to Hiccup. But Heather practically made her. Something that constantly ran through Astrid's head the last couple weeks was Hiccup's voice saying 'I rely on you!' Astrid slowly walked towards Hiccup's hut. They built their huts close together for the fact they were the ones that basically ran the island and needed to be nearby but it was also because, well, they liked each other. As much as neither of them would admit it. They did.

Astrid made it to his hut seeing his door open. Toothless heard her boots on the planks and perked up. Hiccup looked up from his notebook and saw her shadow. He sighed and got up from where he was sitting knowing what she wanted to talk about. He had been avoiding her except for when he absolutely had to see her for something. He had been drawing a picture. He put his notebook down on his desk leaving it open.

Astrid stood in the door way. "Hiccup." She said just loud enough for him to hear it. He didn't look at her. She looked at the floor. "Hiccup...please talk to me." She said looking up.

"I know you're mad and you have every right to be, but you need to understand how much I wanted to tell you." Hiccup looked at her.

She looked into those green eyes and lost her thought for a moment. She could tell he was upset. She took a few steps toward him.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked her. Astrid sighed.

 "Heather thought you would pull her out and she didn't want you too." Astrid said trying to avoid his eyes. "She knew that getting at the Hunters from the inside was the best way and she didn't want anyone getting in the way. I told her that we should tell you. I told her you could help us. I tried but she was against it." Astrid told him. Hiccup sighed.

"I know she's your friend. She's mine too. But something like that. You can't lie about that Astrid. You took off in a snow storm on an island that you knew the Dragon Hunters were on. You know the Snow Wraiths see body heat. Yes, you had Stormfly but that wouldn't have been a match to the Snow Wraith or the Dragon Hunters. They caught Stormfly before, leaving you in the ocean. You were out there in the ocean all day with no food, no fresh water and a storm started. What if they caught her again? The reason we stay together, especially in that situation is because I..." Hiccup went off at her.

Astrid cut him off. "...rely on me. I know. That's been going through my head since you said it on the island. You know that's why I told you. You said that and it made me realize that lying to you wasn't worth it. You rely on me and I rely on you." She told him. Hiccup looked at her and took a few steps closer to her.

"Also, you guys are the ones who waited all day to come look for me." She said. Hiccup looked surprised when she said that.

"Astrid, you always go flying for hours. You don't even know that Toothless and I waited on the landing strip for hours wondering where you were. Once we saw the storm rolling in I got even more worried about you. I got the others and we took off to find you. Not only that but by the time I found you, you had gotten pulled under by a wave and drowning." He told her. "I had to dive in to get you. I was scared I lost you." He told her. Astrid just looked at him.

"Hiccup, part of why I lied to you was for you. I didn't want anything to happen to you. I could get over the fact if the Hunters caught me. I've been in their dungeons before. But if they caught you. I couldn't imagine what they would do. They would do anything to get you and Toothless. They would do anything to get the Dragon Eye. They tried to trap you and tried to kill you when we were trying to protect the Snow Wraith. They kidnapped you when Barf & Belch wouldn't leave you alone. I know that they'll do anything to kidnap you. To get Toothless. To get information from you. I'm not gonna let that happen to you. If they kidnap me, I'll be fine. I know you would try to rescue me but you know I would come up with a plan also. But I don't know if I could rescue you. I would try. I would do anything to save you. And do you know why?" She asked ranting to him.

Hiccup had been walking closer to her more and more until he was in front of her. Her eyes met his. Hiccup put his hand on her cheek. "Why?" He asked quietly.

"Because I..." She started but Hiccup cut her off with a kiss. They pulled away and Astrid looked at him.

"You kissed me." She said sounding a bit surprised.

Hiccup gave her a smile. "Yes. I did."

"You've never kissed me before." She said.

Astrid has kissed Hiccup before. Astrid always seemed to be the one to kiss him first. So the fact that Hiccup kissed her first was a little surprising for her. Hiccup's smile got a little bigger.

"I'll gladly do it again." He said. Astrid smiled at him.

"Please do." She said. Hiccup kissed her again and it lasted a while. Hiccup put his hands on her waist pulling her closer to him. Astrid put her arms around his neck and her hands in his hair. They kissed for a while longer before breaking it to breathe.

"I'm so sorry." Astrid said hugging him and putting her head on his shoulder. She had her face nuzzled into his neck and her words were soft and quiet. Hiccup kissed her head.

"I've already forgiven you." He said. Astrid sighed tightening her grip around his waist. "Now, what was it you wanted to say before I cut you off." Said Hiccup. Astrid looked at him and smiled.

"I was gonna say. Because I..." She tried to finish it but he cut her off again by kissing her again. When they broke apart Astrid smiled at him.

"I love you." She got out. Hiccup smiled at her tucking a longer piece of her bangs behind her ear. "I love you too." He told her kissing her forehead Astrid smiled at him and kissed his cheek. Hiccup took her hand and they left his hut to go get their dragons for a fly.
