*** To put it simple terms, they're obviously in love without needing to be obvious about being in love.

* The quote from the movie is listed elsewhere on here, but the scene it's from deserves to be mentioned again, because it's heartwarming AND awesome AND tearjerking all at once: Toothless challenging the Dark Alpha, not because he wants to be the new Alpha, but simply to protect Hiccup. And he doesn't just challenge the Dark Alpha, either. The Bewilderbeast attacks Hiccup...cue a VERY PISSED Night Fury going into One-Winged Angel mode.

* Toothless and Cloudjumper's relationship. It evolves from Cloudjumper being annoyed by everything Toothless does, to him taking on a more parental role. Heck, he even spits up food to share with Toothless like a parent bird would do for its baby.

* Probably more of a funny moment, but the adorably goofy smile on Ruffnut's face after Snotlout and Fishlegs catch her mid-air after she falls a ways off of Belch; you can tell her mindset pretty much goes from treating them like [[AbhorrentAdmirer abhorrent admirers]] to "Yep, those are ''my'' boys."

*** As well, during [[spoiler:Stoick's Funeral]], after Hiccup starts his eulogy with "I'm sorry [[spoiler:dad]],", we get a glimpse of Astrid, who gives a bittersweet but clearly exasperated, smile. Even through sad times, she still can't understand how Hiccup can be as hard on himself as he is.

*** Hiccup even gives a [[http://ashleybenlove.tumblr.com/post/95959888836/gothiethefairy-he-is-smiling-while-astrid-is short, subtle smile when he notices Astrid is braiding his hair.]]
