Hayden's POV

I just sat there watching her leave the kitchen in shock. I couldn't believe it. She doesn't have any friends. How does she survive school?

wait! Why do I care? It's her problem.

I finished my pizza and checked the time on my phone, which laying on top of the table.

It's 7:15, her stupid programme should be finished by now. I stood up and made my way to the living room to see the nerd still watching her programme. Nerd. She probably fucking paused the video. I can't watch or do what I want in my own house. I groaned loudly she looked at with raised eyebrows.

I jumped on the couch taking a seat beside her, and looked at her " Why are you still watching this?"

"Because the pizza guy disturbed me, I've got to watch this. It only comes once a week. Every Thursdays" I gasped and she rolled her eyes.

"You mean I've got suffer every Thursday for the next few month!" I smirked at her.

While giving me a mocking glare she placed her hand on her forehead then lean her head on my shoulder. "Sadly, this is the last one until Snoggletog. Why? Why does this world hate me so much?" She fake cried while putting her legs on top of the arm rest on her side.

"Oh how sad, we should scold the producers and the directors, they ruined my Snoggletog. This is war!" I shouted

We looked at each other and busted out laughing. Astrid fell on the floor making me laughing even harder.

"Let's play a little game" Hayden suggested now stopping his laughter.

Without letting Astrid give her thoughts on his new found idea Hayden brought out two remotes out, then set the T.V settings to his Wii.  He selected 'Find you there' by 'We the Kings'.  Hayden held one of the remotes out towards Astrid gesturing her to take it. She nervously took and gulped.

"I don't know how to dance" Astrid looked down shyly.

"Just copy the guy in the T.V" Hayden smiled.

As the hours passed they danced, sang and laughed.

Normal POV

Unbeknownst to the laughing friends, if you can call them that, the front door opened and three figures entered the house. They were startled by the sudden noise since they were used to an quiet house.

"What's that Stoick?" Valka asked while gripping onto her husband's arm tightly. She looks as if she was about jump out of joy.

The three figures walked over to the living room and heard the roaring laughter that now filled the house. Stoick, Valka and one of their best friend Gobber stood there in utter shock.

"YOU ARE A FUNNY NERD!" Hayden laughed loudly while holding his stomach. Now both remotes on the floor.

Astrid managed to stand up holding both her sides "you haha Mr bad boy is haha  a dork."

Hayden mocked gasped loudly holding a hand to his chest "Mwah a dork, you wound me princess, I thought you loved me."

"Oh I see what you're doing, and I don't like it Mr bad boy."

"It's not my fault I have all the girls fall on knees when they see me." Hayden flicked his hair dramatically.

"Oh my Mr hotness my name is Rosa will you hook up me? pretty please I just can't handle your hotness!" Astrid mimicked the girl who Hayden turned down earlier today.

"That girl never understand the word no, but now I know your secret." Hayden replied smirked.

"And what that Mr bad boy?" Astrid raised her eyebrows at Hayden.

"You think I'm hot" Hayden said with a wide smile.

Astrid blushed so hard that she resembled a tomato "Do not"

"Do too"

"DO NOT" before Hayden could blink Astrid grabbed a pillow from the couch and started hitting. Hayden lost his footing when Astrid jumped on him while hitting me.

"Hey, hey, hey stop" Hayden shouted while laughing for the umpteenth time today, Astrid just continued hitting him with an angry expression, but anyone who would look at them closely they would see she trying to hold her laughter.

When she didn't stop Hayden held her waist, and pulled her down to the floor with him hovering over her. Then Astrid laugh rang out in the house as Hayden started tickling her. They still didn't realise they had an audience staring at them in shock.

"Will you stop now princess?" Hayden asked while smiling widely

"Oh" haha "my Thor, yes I give" hahaha "up"

Hayden smiled and laid beside her and both of them just started at the ceiling.

"This is the first time I laughed this hard in years" Hayden broke the silence first.

"This is the first time I laughed this hard in years as well" Astrid replied, and they both looked at each other and just smiled.

"You're alright Hoffreson" Hayden spoke.

"You too Haddock" Astrid said copying Hayden's tone.  

The Stoick, Valka and Gobber slowly moved backwards and moved towards the kitchen.

"I told you Stoick the moment they saw each other this evening, I knew she will keep our Hiccup happy like he used to be. He hasn't laughed this much since the accident" Valka said bouncing on her seat.

"I know Valka, but we can't be here when they come here, you know Hiccup doesn't show any emotions to us. Always cold and drinking." Stoick sighed and looked down.

"The lad look so 'appy tonight, I'm sure 'e'll come around again Stoick." Gobber added looking hopeful.

"I hope for his sake" Stoick smiled at his new found hope.

After few minutes has passed the house was filled with silence again. Both Gobber and Hayden's parents were confused.

"weren't they laughing a while ago." Gobber asked.

Valka moved towards the living room again and laughed quietly. She gestured her husband and Gobber. What they saw brought a little bit more hope in their hearts. Hayden and Astrid had fallen asleep in each others arms. Valka grabbed a blanked folded on top of the couch, and covered Hayden and Astrid.

This was the night after three years Hayden slept peacefully without his nightmares plaguing his mind.

This was the first night after three years that didn't plague Astrid with nightmares tonight she slept peacefully knowing that she was safe. No one would hurt her again. She's safe.
