"Hey, Hiccup. Hiccup!"

The Viking groaned as he was prodded and poked out of sleep, opening his eyes sleepily and staring as Astrid came into view.

He still couldn't believe he slept by her every night.

"I think we should get back to Berk today." She smiled tenderly down at him and brushed a few wisps of brown hair out off his forehead from the kneeling position she was in. Hiccup sighed with a dreamy air and nodded before realising her sentence, sitting up and blinking with worried eyes.

"Are you sure you're well enough? It's only a few days since..." He trailed off as the usual stubborn Vikingness came through in her expression, watching as the blonde folded her arms.

"I'm fine, I keep telling you. My wound's healing well." Both of their eyes glanced down to where her shoulder was bandaged with strips of cloth, covering a deep scar caused by dragon claws. It had kept her painfully awake over the last few nights, but it was always Hiccup's job to soothe her back to sleep, watching over her as she lay resting in his arms; stroking her blonde hair as she willingly accepted any comfort she was given. It was a different side to Astrid, one that only he could ever bring out.

"Fine... Today then." Hiccup gave her a smile and she returned it.

They were going home.

They were ready. Toothless was saddled up, both Astrid and Hiccup were dressed properly and goodbye's had been given to the tribe's people. All except Feather Wing.

Astrid jealously sulked as Hiccup searched for the girl, complaining that all she'd done was mess about and she hadn't really done anything, but Hiccup reassured and quieted her with a kiss and a sentence or two about how she'd helped him.

Eventually they both found her at the caves where Hiccup and her had first met, painting on the walls- but she wasn't alone. Another tanned and dark-haired one of the tribe's people, except it was a male.

Hiccup stiffened as he recognised the man who had handled Astrid so roughly when she'd been captured, but he simply glanced up in surprise and then smiled, brushing Feather Wing's arm gently as the two Vikings entered. The girl turned round in surprise and then gave them both a gentle smile.

"I hear you go home, today." Her arms were smudged with red and black paint, and she studied the pair as they nodded.

"Yeah... I just wanted to say thanks for your help." Hiccup gave her a sheepish smile as she looked over them, subconsciously noting how close his blonde girlfriend was by his side, her hand brushing his.

And then Feather Wing's companion was by her side as well, wrapping an arm round her waist and pulling her out the way, laughing teasingly as she squealed, whacking his arm.

Hiccup blinked.

Behind her was a painting of a black dragon, and it was obvious to see who the brown-haired boy atop it was, along with the blonde girl who sat behind him, hugging him at the waist.

"I wanted... remember you. Both, of you." Feather Wing's smile met Astrid and the Viking girl slowly returned it, realising that it was a sign of peace between them.

"Well uh... thanks. We won't forget you too! Any of you." Hiccup laughed sheepishly before casting the two tribe's people a wave and a goodbye as he and Astrid trailed down the hill again, back towards the village.

"I'm glad she's happy. And that she found someone else." Hiccup blinked at Astrid in surprise and then smiled at her, grabbing her hand and pulling her close.

"I'm glad too..." He began, but was cut off as he felt his lips taken by another mouth. He smiled. The adventure had finally made them realise what was important, and how they felt. It had been scary, and now they both had scars to share, but they were in love.

And so the two Vikings shared one, last kiss before they set off on their journey home, across the sea and back to their familiar world. Together.

Author's Note: TOLD YOU I WOULDN'T ABANDON POOR FEATHER WING.

Anyway, I think that's it for this fanfic. I might include a little aftermath bit where Hiccup and Astrid are back home, more fluff, me thinks.

Hope you enjoyed anyway, and all reviews are greatly appreciated ~ Thanks for reading!
