Season 3
In this season, Hiccup and Astrid's relationship continued to develop, but throughout the season they were still just friends. In "Buffalord Soldier", Astrid is scratched by a Viking with the Scourge of Odin, and she comes down with that disease. She hides it from Hiccup, but when Stormfly enters Hiccup's hut, Hiccup knows something is wrong with Astrid, and discovers that she has the Scourge of Odin. Initially, Astrid is left behind, as the other riders, along with Hiccup, go to find the island the Buffalord lives on to get it's saliva. After discovering that the saliva dries up quickly, Hiccup sends Snotlout to get Astrid. As soon as Snotlout gets back to the island, Astrid falls off the dragon and Hiccup catches her and then carries her to the rock and puts her down. Hiccup tells her that he can't imagine a world without her in it. Hiccup then gets more saliva in the cup and feeds it to Astrid, but nothing happens. Through the twins eating the grass, Hiccup realizes that for the cure, the Buffalord's saliva has to be mixed with the grass. While trying to get some of the Buffalord's saliva mixed with the grass, Viggo appears and captures the dragons. Eventually, Hiccup gives up the dragon to Viggo in exchange for the cure, so he can feed it to Astrid and cure her of the Scourge of Odin. After getting the cure, Hiccup takes it to Astrid and has her drink it, and it instantly cures Astrid, who quickly stands up, but falls over a little and is caught by Hiccup. Later, after the Viking funeral for the ship of Vikings that had died from the Scourge of Odin, Astrid thanks Hiccup for what he did for her, and Hiccup replies, "That you would have done the same for me", to which Astrid replies, "I can't imagine a world without you in it, either."

In "Stryke Out", Astrid is visabily concerned when she and the other riders discover that Hiccup was captured.

Season 4
In this season, major development happens with Hiccup and Astrid's relationship, as they become a couple towards the end of the season.

In "Midnight Scrum", Astrid is concerned about the bounty on Hiccup's head, and she wants Hiccup to lay low, but Hiccup says he wouldn't since that would be playing into Viggo's hand. Later, Hiccup is captured by Bounty Hunters, and Astrid is very concerned about this, and tells Hiccup's dad about the bounty on Hiccup's head. Later, after rescuing Hiccup, Astrid helps Hiccup upon seeing his leg is missing, over to the dragons. In "Dire Straights", after the Diving Bell is thrown onto the ship by the Submarriper, Fishlegs and Astrid pull Hiccup, who is unconscious, out of the diving bell and put him onto the deck of the ship. Astrid shows immediate concern and says to Hiccup, please breathe. After Toothless licks Hiccup, Hiccup regains consciousness and Astrid moves and she and Hiccup hold hands, as Astrid is relieved now that Hiccup is awake.

In "Blindsided", Astrid loses her sight from a big flash of lighting and is sent flying in the dragon stables, where she is found by Hiccup, who takes her back to the clubhouse. Hiccup then talks to Astrid alone and tries to comfort her, and Astrid understands what Hiccup is trying do and is appreciative of it. Hiccup encourages Astrid to get some rest, and Astrid asks Hiccup to stay with her until she falls asleep, to which Hiccup responds he is not going anywhere. Later, as they are flying out to find Stormfly, Hiccup keeps Astrid from falling off after they hit some slight turbulence, and then Hiccup admits that he was glad she was here. Later, on the ground Astrid starts calling Stormfly's name, and trips over a rock. Hiccup dives and catches her, and when they hit the ground they are face to face with each other. Later, Astrid thinks Stormfly doesn't want her riding her, after Stormfly tossed her aside, but Hiccup says that Stormly was protecting Astrid, and that she did not want her in the fight. Hiccup comforts Astrid, who is feeling helpless, and says "Astrid, you and I have been through everything together. You don't think we can handle this? Astrid, you have me, no matter what. Okay, whatever that means, whatever you want it to mean. I am with you. There will always be a Hiccup and Astrid. Always."

At that moment Hiccup acts like he is going to kiss Astrid, but is interrupted by the Triple Stryke returning. Later, Gothi restores Astrid's sight and Hiccup is relived and thanks Gothi, followed by Astrid standing up and hugging Hiccup. Later, Hiccup and Astrid are sitting on the edge of the platform connected to the dragon stables, and Hiccup asks Astrid if she is feeling okay, to which she says she is fine, and the Hiccup can stop worrying about her now. Hiccup admits that he always worries about her, and Astrid says the same goes for her too with Hiccup. After that, Astrid asks Hiccup if he was trying to kiss her in the forest, to which he responds that he thought about it. Astrid asks Hiccup why he didn't kiss her and Hiccup says that the moment was not perfect and that he was thinking that when it happened, and yes he thought about it a lot, that when it happened, that it had to be perfect. Astrid responds after looking out at the sunset, that this moment was pretty perfect, to which Hiccup responds, that it is, and then Hiccup and Astrid share a kiss, their first as a couple, and after the kiss Astrid leans over on Hiccup and puts her arm around him.

In "Shell Shocked, Part 1", Hiccup and Astrid talk by the stairs to the great hall, and are about to share a kiss when they are interrupted by Fishlegs, who assumes they were talking about where to hide the dragon eye when they got it back. After Fishlegs leaves, Astrid and Hiccup are relieved that Fishlegs did not find out. This leads to Hiccup questioning Astrid about why they are keeping it secret. Astrid explains that the relationship is so new that she wanted to keep it to themselves, and that she wanted to enjoy it with just him. Then Hiccup puts out is hand for a handshake but Astrid goes and pulls him in for a kiss, which he returns, and Astrid as she is preparing to leave says, "Did you think I would leave here with just a handshake?" As Astrid leaves Hiccup states that Astrid is something else. Later, Hiccup and Astrid try to share another kiss after deciding that they have to keep the relationship out of the battle and in battle act like they had been before the relationship started. They go to kiss but are interrupted by the twins, who misinterpret what is going on and wrongly think Hiccup and Astrid are dying.

In "Shell Shocked, Part 2", at the end Astrid is captured by Viggo, who says to Hiccup, "Do you want to give up your future for the Dragon Eye?" as Hiccup is thinking about what is going on. Hiccup says, "NO!" and tosses the dragon eye towards Viggo and Viggo lets go of Astrid, and tries to retrieve the dragon eye, but can't before it falls into the volcano. After Viggo falls into the Volcano, Astrid comes up to Hiccup and say "it's over. It is over, right?" to which Hiccup responds that it is over. Astrid then apologizes to Hiccup about not keeping their relationship outside of the battle and says that it will not happen again. Hiccup forgives her, and says to Astrid to just tell him how she feels, as he relies on her. This is followed by Astrid pulling Hiccup in for another kiss, which the other dragon riders see, and say "This. Changes. Everything.", having through seeing Hiccup and Astrid kissing found out about their relationship.

In "Sandbusted", Hiccup has the betrothal gift he is going to give to Astrid, and he tells Snotlout that saying, "This is my betrothal gift to Astrid. It means we'll be together forever." Meanwhile, Astrid does not have a betrothal gift for Hiccup, and worries over it because there is only 48 left for her to get him a gift as by the end of the sixth moon cycle after a couple gets betrothed, they have to exchange betrothal gift. Astrid says, "What can you get a guy, who has it all, wants nothing, and need nothing?" Astrid and Hiccup and the gang head up to the Northen Markets where Astrid gets help from the others minus Snotlout, but does not come up with a gift for Hiccup. Later, after Astrid rescues Hiccup, along with Snotlout and Amos, Hiccup stops Astrid and tells her he needs to show her something. Hiccup pulls out the necklace saying, "This was my father's bethrothal gift to my mother. --um, And he gave it to me, to give to you. Astrid, you're a part of our family. You always have been and I hope you always will be." Astrid accepts the gift but sighs, and tells Hiccup that the necklace is beautiful, and that it is perfect. Astrid then tells Hiccup that he didn't get a gift for her, and that she didn't know what to get him. Hiccup tells her, "But you did. Astrid, you got me the greatest gift in the world. You, You, just being here with me. It's the only gift I need." Immediately after that Hiccup and Astrid shared a hug.

In "A Matter of Perspective", Astrid asks Hiccup how he figured out how to get past the Sentinels and off of Vanahiem. Hiccup tells Astrid that it is all about perspective, and that if you look at things with a different persepective, you see things you might not have seen before. Astrid then says she has had enough thinking for the week and that she was going to go get some sleep and then shares a kiss with Hiccup before heading off to bed.

In "Dawn of Destruction", Hiccup and Astrid are sparring with each other as practice for future fights with the Dragon Hunters. After being told that Johann is here for him, Hiccup heads off for the docks, and Astrid goes along with him. After being told by Johann that he unfortunately did not get the oil he wanted and where to go get it, Hiccup and Astrid prepare to go off to the Isle of Thizzian, to get the oil Hiccup needs. The others tell Hiccup and Astrid that since they became a couple they have been ignoring them more and that their priorities are shifting because of it. Hiccup and Astrid then fly off for the Isle of Thizzian leaving the others behind. At the island, Hiccup having a conversation, which starts with them wondering if they are ignoring them and not being team leaders like the rest of the gang said they were. Astrid says no, and that she has not been ignoring Snotlout more than she usually does. Hiccup then replies to Astrid that he wants to make sure and that he does not want to be ignoring the rest of the gang more, but adds that at the same that is important he spend time with her. At that statement Astrid hugs Hiccup. Hiccup asks Astrid what that was for, to which she responds, "Just for being you. I love how sensitive you are." Hiccup tells Astrid not to tell Stoick that, but Astrid replies, "Oh, I think he knows. Everyone knows. It's what makes you such a great friend, a great leader, and, um, a great boyfriend." After deciding to not to head back to the Edge, Hiccup asks Astrid if she wants to take a Moonlit flight with him, while at the same time he twirls Astrid once. Astrid accepts the invitation for the Moonlit flight, and flips Hiccup over. They then take a Moonlit flight together which lasts the whole night.

In "The Wings of War, Part 1", Hiccup says it is going to take something they never thought of to get around and keep from hurting dragons, to which Astrid responds that he will come up with it. Hiccup says thank you and asks her how she knows that. Astrid responds, "Because Hiccup Haddock is the wisest, most talented and brave Dragon Trainer on Earth. And he always comes up with it." Later, Astrid joins Hiccup on a Sea stack, where Hiccup was thinking about the Dragon Flyers, and trying to figure out another way to deal with them because he did not want to harm the Singetails. Hiccup asks Astrid how she found him, and she says she knows a Hiccup "thinking" sea stack anywhere. Hiccup and Astrid have a discussion about the Dragon Flyers and Hiccup says that it isn't the Singetails fault for what happened since the Dragon Flyers made them do it. Astrid replies that she knows, but it doesn't matter if was dragon or flyer that did it and that she does not want to hurt dragons either but in tough times tough choices have to be made. Hiccup tells Astrid that she is absolutely right, and Astrid is happy to hear that. But Hiccup then tells Astrid that he hears everything she is saying, and that it makes perfect sense, and that she has the warrior spirit for this, and while she has the stomach for it, he doesn't, and that he can't be in charge of something he doesn't believe in. As he is about to fly elsewhere, Astrid asks Hiccup where he is going, and he responds, "To find another way".

Behind the Scenes
"They are pals. The are explorers. She is as much a contributor to the map as Hiccup has been. They just have a very easy-going, very relaxed, very comfortable relationship."

- Dean DeBlois

"She [Astrid] is in every sense really Hiccup’s equal"

- Jeffrey Katzenberg

"Their relationship is still very playful and competitive, but they match each other in their lust for life and adventure. What is fun is that our characters are more grown up now. Because there is a romantic aspect to their relationship, there are more tender moments between them. In the first film she was thinking: ‘Who is this guy? Why should he get to be chief of Berk when I’ve worked hard my whole life?’ But this time she’s his number one supporter because she sees that he’s special and totally capable of leadership. She is a partner in his adventure."

- America Ferrera

"The second film is five years after the first film and it seems as if Hiccup and Astrid have gotten a little bit more romantically involved and comfortable with each other. And I would say they are boyfriend and girlfriend. They never say “boyfriend and girlfriend” but I think that’s what’s going on. They’re both incredibly independent spirits and very independent in their own rights, but are incredibly supportive of one another. Astrid is Hiccup’s number one defender and champion but also her own leader in her own right."

- America Ferrera

"She [Astrid] is my favorite. She is self-assured, commanding and she knows who she is. I see what a great stalwart she is for my son [Hiccup]. How much she grounds. She is the voice of reason to Hiccup. She is a warrior as well. I love the fact- I think she reminds me of my wife [Valka]. My wife [Valka] was super strong, competitive, and uncompromising... and that's Astrid. I wanna see my son [Hiccup] grow up. I wanna have grandkids! And I want it with the coolest chick in the clan, and that is Astrid."

- Gerard Butler

"Astrid is still a strong feminine character. But she is a little less tomboy and a little more glamorous. Her relationship with Hiccup has evolved. They are somewhat like Prince William and Kate Middleton, only Viking style."

- Pierre-Olivier Vincent, The Art of How To Train Your Dragon 2

"Astrid and Hiccup have a wonderfully relaxed chemistry, as the fact that they are now lovers is handled with minimal fuss (their most romantic moment involves Astrid doing a killer impression of her boyfriend’s agitated worrying)"

- Scott Mendelson, FORBES

"The relationship between Hiccup and Astrid is one of the most well done established relationships in an animated movie. Without being overly romantic, and maintaining a kid-friendly theme, the relationship is still very healthy and showcases good communication."

- WONDERCON, 2014
