Time seemed to stand still as Stormfly was slowly drifting to the ground and landing. Like everything was going in slow motion. It seemed like everything was calm for a second before she left the impact of her dragon landing on the ground and everything came back into her mind and senses.

She jumped off of her dragons back and looked at the love of her life, slumped down over his lifeless father's body. The father who had just saved his only son from a death of a plasma blast from his sons best friend who was under evil control by the humongous dragon.

Sprinting over to him felt like an eternity and she thought she would never reach him but she did. She dropped to her knees beside him and put an arm around his back while her other hand found his hand and she slid it into his. Even after squeezing his hand, he didn't do anything.

He just sat there, sobbing, crying and breathing hard.

Astrid's eyes went all over the place, trying to find a solution or something for him to calm down but nothing. She looked at him and then his mother. She then moved slightly, lifting his hand that she was holding and sitting down beside him.

She wished she could've been closer to him, to let him feel that she was right there, beside him and that she wasn't going anywhere. But, she couldn't due to Stoick's arm laying between them.

She moved slightly closer and laid her head on his shoulder, breathing loud enough for only him to hear it. She breathed as fast as he did before slowly slowing down, calming him down. Their breaths mixed and she smiled slightly, knowing that she succeeded. However, looking down at Hiccup's hand also reminded her of why they were sad right now and her ever so slight smile dropped and a tear rolled down her cheek.

Who would say, "That's my future-daughter-in-law!" When she won the dragon races or took the sheep from the others? Who would walk up to her when she was deep in thoughts or when she doubted herself or when she needed some support and Hiccup wasn't there?

Stoick would always place a large hand on her cheek and tell her that everything would be fine and that things would be better with time. She couldn't stop thinking of what Hiccup felt.

While she held his hand in hers, - both of the now - one of her hands hand intertwined her fingers with his while her other hand was stroking the back of his.

She moved her head to look at him and saw tears streaming down his face. She pulled back one of her hands, - the one that had been stroking the back of his - and placed it on his cheek on the side of his face she couldn't see.

Hiccup looked at her hand on in his and he squeezed it. She looked at him and lifted her head, nodding slightly. His head smiley turned towards her and he gazed into his eyes. There was a look she never wanted to see again.

Sadness and pain.

Like all happiness has been dug out of him and that there only was bad memories left. But, she smiled softly, stroked his cheek and whispered, "I'm here, Hiccup. I'll never leave you," barely loud enough for him to hear. Her voice cracked and something sparked in his eyes when he spoke.

She knew that she was the only one who could make him talk without any effort. She knew that she was the only one who could make him to anything. But, she also knew that she needed him. And, she needed him to be the way he was.

She was going to be there for him. She promised herself that. She wouldn't live without him and she knew that he couldn't live without her. They were one when they were together and that's what made them so special. Their relationship.

That's what made them so unique. They way they were with each other. Astrid loved him with everything she had in her.

She would never stop loving him. He looked at her, moved closer to her, totally not caring about the others before pressing a super small kiss to her lips and then laying his head on her chest where he would hear heart beat.

The blonde wrapped her arms around her boyfriend, - fiancé, they haven't announced it yet - and bowed her head, burying her nose into his thick hair.

"Never forget this, love. I'll always be here..." She said, burying her nose into his hair and pressing small kisses to his head. "I promise."
