Author's note: Hi everyone! I know I've been on a long break, I think I'm losing my touch with fictional writing (assuming I ever even had one to start with), which upsets me a lot because I've always loved it. I can't really remember where I'm up to on any of my current stories, so I can't promise they'll get finished.

Anyway, since I'm on holidays at the moment with nothing really to do, and given that I saw HTTYD2 yesterday (loved it!), I figured I try my hand at writing a short one-shot, so that way I don't end up inevitably starting something and never finishing it.

Please note that I have not seen the TV series.

*WARNING* This one-shot does contain some spoilers pertaining to HTTYD2.

Hiccup Haddock and Astrid Hofferson were the equivalent of a celebrity couple on Berk. It was harder for them to tell what was worse, when they had first become a couple, or their still being a couple 5 years later. Not worse in the bad sense, but worse in the strange sense.

In the beginning, they had been followed by stares whenever they were together, despite the fact that their awkwardness around each other meant they didn't really progress past the hand-holding stage. As they grew, though, and became more comfortable with their couple status, they became followed by people whispering and giggling. Most people, if not everyone, had by now come up with their own thoughts on when the pair would get married, an idea which had initially been made public by the late Chief.

It was sunset, and a particularly beautiful one at that. Astrid and Hiccup were sitting up against Toothless in their spot on the island he had dubbed "Itchy Armpit". She sat leaning with her head leaning against Hiccup's chest while he had one of his arms around her shoulder. Neither said a word. Toothless was even asleep, oddly enough for the playful Night Fury.

Suddenly, Astrid let out a short laugh. Hiccup gave her a look of confusion. "What's so funny all of a sudden?" he joked.

"Oh, nothing. I was just remembering the look on your mother's face when she found out about us."

"Ha! Yeah, that was pretty funny, wasn't it?" Hiccup laughed. "Good thing she's a cool mum."

"Oh yeah, that's hilarious. Come here you," Hiccup grabbed Astrid and pulled her close to him, their lips meeting. It was probably their most public one yet, as well as their most passionate. Gobber told them after that he'd actually covered a child's eyes!

When they broke apart, they'd seen Valka's face, which was one of both shock and amusement. It seemed that she hadn't expected her son to have found a girlfriend, which Hiccup had taken with his usual sarcastic attitude.

"Gee, thanks for all the faith, mum."

"Yeah, I had completely forgotten to mention that to her. My bad," Hiccup joked.

Astrid moved from Hiccup's chest to punch his arm.

"Ow! What was that for?" Hiccup yelped.

"That was for forgetting to mention me to your mother!" Astrid explained. Hiccup laughed, and knowing what would come next, leant towards her a little. He received another punch.

"Ow! Hey, not fair!"

"And that was for expecting a kiss," Astrid smirked, which elicited another smile out of her boyfriend.

"You're right, I'm sorry," he smirked back. Astrid laughed and moved back to lean against him. Toothless moved, stirred by the noise. The shift lead to Hiccup falling back, Astrid landing on him.

"Bud!" Hiccup whined, but the dragon only gave a gummy grin. The humans laughed at him as they stood up. "I think the overgrown lizard wants to go. What do you say, milady?"

Astrid sighed. It was so peaceful here, but the Sun was setting, and it would be dark before long. She took a step towards him and stood up to kiss him. Hiccup, surprised, settled into the kiss, returning it with as much passion as he could. Toothless turned away with a moan, causing the couple to break apart, breathless, but laughing.

"What was that for?" Hiccup asked Astrid, smiling.

"What? I have to have a reason to kiss my boyfriend?"

"Hey! I'm not complaining!" Hiccup laughed, raising his hands in surrender.

Astrid laughed. "Good. I guess we should go now," she said as she walked towards the dragon. Hiccup could only shake his head and sigh, wondering what he'd gotten himself into.

And that's it! I hope you liked it! I know it was short, but I tend to write short, fluffy stuff, otherwise I overdo it.

I can't remember seeing Valka's face in that ending kiss scene, and I don't know if there were any scenes with her where Hiccup and Astrid were being couple-y at all. If there were, I apologise if this story didn't quite fit with it.

Anyway, am I the only one who just loves "milady"? I don't know what it is, but I just love it! It seems so romantic.

Also, don't forget to review! I accept constructive criticism (just please keep it kind!), but NO FLAMES! Thank you!
