Hiccup blames himself for his fathers death, and Astrid tries to convince him its not his fault.

Narrator- Hiccup sat on the edge of his bed, head in his hands, sobbing. If he never had gone after Drago maybe his dad would still be alive. But if he had never gone after Drago he never would have found his mother.

Hiccup- I sob, amazed that I still had tears left. As I cried I thought of all of the moments with my father.

When we were fighting the Red Death he said to me, "I'm proud to call you my son."

Before I went off to find the Edge he told me, "Go, lad. Find whatever it is out there that's pulling on you. And when you find it, will be right here waiting for you." 

Around the time we found skullcrusher he said to me, "And by the way, son? I do miss you. A lot, in fact."

When we were off finding willow bark he said,

"Hiccup, I said a lot of things yesterday that came from a place of anger and were not meant for you. Hiccup, you've been at the a long time now. And you've done amazing things. Things I could never have dreamed of. But if I learned one thing in the last twenty-four hours, it's that you and I—we're better together than alone. needs you, son. I need you. Just think about it."

I sigh as someone knocks on the door. I open it to a very worried Hofferson. Yep, you guessed it. It was Astrid.

She saw his tear stained face and hugged him, the embrace lasting what felt like hours.

"My dad died when I was young. I know how it feels." she said. "Thats why i always fought and trained. It released my stress." Astrid was now braiding my hair.

"Its my fault, I went after Drago, and Drago killed my dad." Hiccups voice was now a quiet whisper, sadness overtook him. Hiccup layed back onto the bed, Astrid following not long after.

Astrid- "Its Dragos fault. He decided to kill your father." I said. Hiccup sobbed more.

"It all *sob* happened so *sob* fast I just *sob* can't take it all *sob* in." Hiccup was trying to talk, but a combination of sobbing and talking does NOT end up well.

I kiss Hiccup, burying my head into the crook of his neck not long after. "Everything will be alright, your father is with you, with all of us, in here." I put my hand against his beating heart.

Hiccup sighs, "What would I do without you?"

I smile as he ever so softly kisses me. I wrap my arms around him.

"I love you Hiccup."

"I love you milady."

We fall asleep in the comfort of each others arms, knowing I will always be there for Hiccup, and he will always be there for me.
