The great hall of Berk empties, leaving behind the roar of the celebration. The door clicks shut with finality, sealing a silence only the two of us can break. I watch you, their figure glowing in the low light, wrapped in that forbidden blue that defies superstition. The air is heavy with the weight of the inevitable, of what’s always been. I swallow hard, my heart hammering with a force that threatens to shake my ribs. There are no dragons, no cheers, no outside world. Only this suspended moment where reality surpasses any childhood fantasy. Our eyes meet, and in that look a whole lifetime of tangled roots plays out—fear overcome, a love that began on the ice and now burns like purest fire.
