Author's POV

It was a normal morning at Berk. It also had been a week since Hiccup and Astrid got married. They are living a happy life together.

...

The morning sunlight shined brightly on Astrid's eyes. She groaned as she covered her eyes with her hands and turned to Hiccup, his back facing her.

At this point, she realized that she had been woken by the sun and she couldn't sleep anymore. So, she decided to get up for the day.

Apparently, it was their day off since they recently got married. They wanted to rest from their duties.

Although she wanted to get out of bed, she felt lazy and wanted to stay in bed longer. She looked over to see her exhausted husband dozing away and snoring like no one's business.d

Hiccup was just wearing his pants in bed as he felt comfortable to be shirtless around Astrid.

She chuckled at her sleeping husband and placed one of her hands on his bare shoulder, gently stroking it.

She always wondered how a dork like him would be always be such a cute and sweet guy. She would feel proud of her Hiccup, growing from a scrawny little broomstick to a strong and brave warrior.

She kissed his shoulder a few times before unconsciously writing Hiccup's name on his back with her fingers.

She continued to stroke his back and shoulder lovingly until he stirred, slightly startling Astrid, but she calmed down.

She smiled when he woke up and turned to face the ceiling.

"Good morning, babe. Slept well?", she said softly and quickly pecked his lips.

He turned his head to her and smiled at her beautiful sapphire eyes, which made her smile even wider.

"Good morning, m'lady. Yes I slept well.", he replied and held her hand.

"Your hand... it's so soft... and warm...", he mumbled wearily.

She couldn't help but giggle at his mumbling. She brought his hand that was holding hers and planted a small kiss on his knuckles.

He tightened his grip on her hand and sat up with her, letting her lean her head on his shoulder. He kissed her forehead and buried his nose in her long blonde hair, inhaling her flower scent.

"Oh Gods, you smell like a million flowers.", he commented which made Astrid blush hard.

"But I love your soft hands. I love the way they are so delicate. I love the way they are so pretty. I love the way they are so warm and gentle. I love the way you touch me with your hands. It's like a medicine to heal my wounds. Well, metaphorically, of course. But that shows how I love how your hands.", Hiccup said to her dreamily.

"Now, is it me or my hands that you love so much?", she teased.

Hiccup chuckled at her question. Sometimes, he just couldn't take her seriously when it came to loving her with all his heart.

"Oh come on, if I love your hands this much, imagine how much I love you, it would be more than the size of Valhalla. Again, metaphorically.", he replied to her joke and kissed her cheek and hand that he was holding.

She blushed and cupped his cheek with her free hand.

He leaned into her soft and gentle touch and held it with his other hand.

He held both of her hands and put smooches on them, making Astrid chuckle.

"Wow, someone's affectionate today.", she teased again.

"Can't help it if you have such sweet hands, m'lady.", he replied and smiled at her.

He continued holding Astrid's hands, lacing his fingers between hers. He stroked the side of her thumb with his. She stroked his knuckles with her intertwined fingers.

She looked at his hands which completely covered hers and curled her lips into a small smile. She felt protected whenever his hands engulfed hers. She knew that he would keep her safe no matter what and she would do the exact same in return.

Slowly, Hiccup felt sleepy again as his kept nodding off. Astrid noticed that he kept falling asleep on her shoulder and lightly shook her shoulder to get his attention.

His head jerked up and his eyes widened in daze.

"Huh, what? Was I nodding off again?", he muttered to her softly. She nodded as she brought his head carefully off her shoulder to his pillow.

"Shh... go back to sleep. Clearly, you haven't slept well.", Astrid lulled.

However, she couldn't get up, because Hiccup still locked his grip with her hands.

"Please stay...", he muttered in a slurred and sleepy tone, tightening his grip.

She smiled at his innocence and laid down with him. She gently pried one of her hands from Hiccup's hands and laid in a comfortable position with Hiccup.

She kissed the bridge and tip of his nose affectionately.

"I love you. You'll always be my lovely dork.", she said in his ear which made his lips curl into a small lopsided smile.

"I love you, too...", he mumbled before completely knocking out into a deep sleep and snored, his fingers still intertwined with hers.

She smiled and let him hold her hand while he slept. Soon, sleep took over her body as well as she held Hiccup's other hand and brought it close to her side.

So, they fell asleep again with their hands locked together.
