Heather pushed Eret against the door of her office. They rutted against one another while trying to keep their volume down in case anyone was to walk by.

"Don't stop," Heather moaned, making Eret groan. His fingers moved under her skirt, touching her where she ached the most. They had almost lost track of time when Eret's phone rang, breaking the lust-filled atmosphere.

"You need to head back?" she asked as he re-buttoned his shirt and put his physician lab coat back on.

"I have a surgery I need to prepare for," he said. "Sorry."

Heather pouted and Eret couldn't resist kissing her again one last time before heading down to his own department.

Heather threw the keys into a bowl as she entered the apartment she shared with husband of five years.

Hiccup looked up from his laptop as she entered. She greeted him with a kiss.

"So how was your day?" he asked with a smile, pausing his work to give her his full attention.

Heather shrugged. "The food at our canteen is awful as always. I can't believe they won an award for those undercooked potatoes and tasteless carrots."

"You could bring your own lunch with you. We have plenty of leftovers."

"I know, but leftovers won't last me through the entire day. As an anesthesia nurse, I need to keep my energy levels up at all times," she said with an exasperated sigh.

Hiccup put his laptop away and sat down next to her. "Maybe I could prepare you an extra meal everyday?"

Heather rolled her eyes playfully. "Oh please, Hiccup. We both know you can't cook to save your life. It's why I'm the one who always has to cook, go to work-"

"Hey, I work!" Hiccup protested with narrowed eyes. "Just because I work from home it doesn't mean I'm not contributing. My work just doesn't require me being at a specific place at a specific time. It's still hard work," he insisted.

Heather laughed and pulled him close. "I know, I know, but you have to admit my job is much more energy-consuming."

"Agree to disagree."

Heather huffed. "Anyway, I'm going to head into the shower. Why don't we order in tonight? I'm too tired to prepare us dinner."

"Fine," Hiccup said, grabbing his phone to make the order.

Astrid ran after the culprit until he reached a dead-end inside an alley. "Put your hands up in the air!" she ordered, pulling out her gun. "Get down on your knees."

The guy dropped what he was holding and obeyed. Soon enough, the rest of police patrol caught up with them.

"Good job, Hofferson," the Chief of the police, Stoick Haddock, called out proudly. "We will take it from here."

Astrid nodded and began heading towards her car. As she was walking, she checked her phone for any miscalls.

She smiled as she noticed her husband had called her two times and dialed his number straight away.

Eret picked after the second ring. "Hello, Agent Beautiful. You are getting difficult to reach days," he started off jokingly.

Astrid laughed, biting her lip. "Was there something you needed?"

"You. I always need you," he teased. "All of the time."

"Come on, be serious."

"I am! Dead serious."

"Eret."

"Okay, fine. I actually, uh.. I need you to pick me up on the way. The car broke down again."

"Again? You really need to get that fixed, you know."

"I will, I will. First thing in the morning," she heard him sigh. "So can you pick me up?"

Astrid smiled, rolling her eyes. "Of course, babe. See you in a bit."
