The forge breathes with a deep, amber glow, painting the soot-streaked cheek of the lanky boy bent over his bench. Hiccup—Berk’s perpetual misfit—flinches at your entrance, his eyes wide with surprise before softening into a look of pure relief. The distant clamor of the village fades into nothing as he crosses the room to where you sit, wrapped in a coarse wool blanket on a worktable. He steps between your legs, his hands finding yours beneath the fabric before settling firmly on your waist. The air grows heavy with something unspoken, a gratitude too deep for words. He leans in, his movement hesitant but sure, and presses a kiss to your lips—so tender it stills the entire world.
