Summary: Commentfic prompt. Hiccup/Astrid: It feels silly to whine about a sprained ankle when your boyfriend lost his leg last year.


"I'm glad I won the fight, I just wish my ankle wouldn't twinge every time I..."

She shut up the moment she realized she was doing it.

Astrid tried to look at him and... not look at him at the same time. She felt her cheeks grow hot.

Hiccup's metal foot-contraption lay between them.

"I know what you mean," his puberty-cracked voice muttered, "I mean, just yesterday, we were low on lubricant, so this thing was squeaking so loud, one of those crazy gulls came and pecked at the window all day, thinking I was giving off some sort of mating call."

She glanced up as he continued.

"I was scared to go outside. Toothless wouldn't help either. I think he was laughing at me."

Don't grin. Don't grinDon'tgrin...

"... and now you're laughing at me."

She is.

And he planned it that way.
