Hiccup was busy organizing supplies near the dragon stables, his expression more serious than usual. Lately, Berk had been rescuing and releasing more dragons than they could properly care for, and the responsibility was beginning to wear on everyone, especially him.

For a moment, he glanced over at Toothless, who rested peacefully nearby beneath the afternoon sun. The small smile on Hiccup’s face softened instantly before his attention shifted again.

Toward you.

You were standing a short distance away, calmly feeding your dragon while talking softly to her. Hiccup tried not to stare for too long, quickly looking back down at the papers in his hands as if he had been completely focused the entire time.

He hadn’t planned on falling in love with you. Honestly, he was not even sure when it happened.

Maybe it was during one of your flights together.

Maybe it was the way dragons seemed to trust you naturally.

Or maybe it was simply the fact that every time you were near him, concentrating became nearly impossible.
