Seasonable Solace

He arrived at noon. It was a cool day of summer and he silently thanked the gods for the warm weather that they were allowed to enjoy this time of year. The wind barely blew and an orange gleam of the sunset mantled the island. Everything was peaceful; the villagers were heading home after a long day of work and some stayed in the Great Hall for supper.

He literally spent the whole week savoring the few days of freedom he had before his father arrived home from the Meathead Island; he was doing some trading on wool with their allies, and some of their steel. He's been gone for just two weeks and, fortunately, he had one thing to thank his father… well just this once. Spitelout insisting to be acting chief until Stoick came back; his father agreed just this once if Spitelout promised he wouldn't ask again. And completely convinced of doing the job better that anyone, he boastfully took the free time to give Snotlout some lessons in chiefting and shadow his good work, ascending him to his first assistant. While Snotlout, being forced to be his father's shadow and he couldn't care less about the job, was annoyed, especially when it involved cancelling his own plans.

Hiccup could have said that those were the worst two weeks of chiefing in his entire life, but he was too busy enjoying that he could go exploring and flying until midnight for all he cared.

He told the gang that there was an island he wanted to visit for a while now, but couldn't; though it would take a 3 day journey. Astrid wanted to go too, of course, but her mother had her chained to the house to help her in some sewing stuff he didn't have much knowledge about. He was fine, more that fine; he really missed his alone time and bro moments with just Toothless, who was enjoying this freedom time himself. That meant more time for goofing around.

Those last 4 years have been really good for the both of them. The Academy continued its legacy with the younger trainees. And since Dragon Racing was becoming the mayor sport for the Berkians, that was a pleasant distraction for the gang and the villagers all the same. Then suddenly, everything changed when Hiccup's father started with the whole chiefting thing. Toothless was proud of course, but he couldn't stand it. It took most of Hiccup's time. Since then they were just able to go flying like four times in the week, sometimes three. So as soon as Stoick left, they hadn't touched the ground in almost two weeks. Quite literally.

Hiccup stopped by in the Great Hall for some cod and headed home. He collapsed in his bed sighing happily. Toothless crawled beside his bed and purred. Things were peaceful tonight but they weren't counting on what was about to happen. His eyes snapped open at the loud knock on this door.

"Oh, for the love of- What now?" he sobbed "Spitelout, for the last time, I'm not going to write a letter to my father telling him how awesome you do at chiefting!" He yelled from his room.

"Actually, I was going to give you some stew my mother made, since I finally see you on the ground" said Astrid's voice from downstairs.

Hiccup chuckled "I appreciate your effort, milady, but I already ate" he answered from his room.

Astrid went up to his room, smiling at his numb form. "Wow, when was the last time you touched the ground?"

"Funny you asked that because I'm glad to tell you I really don't remember now" He grinned, "I haven't really seen anyone in a while"

She laughed, "Does Spitelout really asked you to send a letter to your dad saying that?" She seated beside him in his bed. He covered his eyes with his arm and groaned.

"Yeah, like four times already. I really don't know how the village hasn't burned down yet with him in charge, but I'm just glad I get to have some free time in the last year."

She leaned and pecked his uncovered mouth beneath his arm. "Yeah, I'm sure you needed that. I haven't seen you in two whole weeks." He put his arm down and smirked at her. His smug grin told her everything she wanted to know. "Oh no, here we go", she mumbled, sighing.

"What? You missed me? Because I sure did"

She looked down at him smacking his arm. "Missed you? Yes, also that. Don't flatter yourself that much, Dragon Boy." He leaned forward and rested himself in his elbows, with that stupid grin of his, still spreading in his face.

"Oh, you know you did" he said. She stood glaring at him.

"Well, I did not come here to flirt so I'll leave your stew here and be on my way" She stood and turned around heading to the door. He stood up quickly and followed her downstairs.

"Okay, okay! I was messing around. How are you? What have you been doing this week?"

She stopped near the fireplace and turned, still glaring but smirking. "Well, I spent most of my time helping my mom and doing some chores while you were 'goofing off' all day". He frowned and pouted, going to protest but she kept talking, "And, in my free time, flying and training, actually, I was just going to ask you when is it going to be the next Dragon Racing, before winter stomps by" She took seat in a big chair near the kitchen. He joined her.

"First of all, it's not ´goofing off', I wanted to know more about that island I told you about and it was really that far away up north." He put an arm around her shoulders and grinned "By the way, I hadn't told you about my little journey". She sighed and rolled her eyes, preparing herself for the old 'I saw new dragons!' thing he always talked about in his adventures mapping the archipelago.

He continued excitedly "Well, it was wonderful", he started "it was actually smaller than I expected but I understood later why; the only breeds that grow there are the Seashockers and since they're a tidal class dragon, living in water, of course, there are no actual terrestrial – well not terrestrial but not-tidal dragons… Anyway, but they were the only breed there also cause they're not the friendliest dragons in the archipelago. I mean, wow, their hostility has a limit of course, they just started to get used to us on the second day, and there were no other tidal dragons too, again, Seashockers weren't know for their hospitality. Oh, and I discovered that the particularity of their homeland was because of their food of choice, just like Typhoomerangs liking eel." He talked enthusiastically, waving his hand and his eyes widened in wonder.

She listened closely at his 5-year-old-elation self. She liked it when he told her his adventures and trusted her with almost everything. He kept talking about dragons until he finished his story, then he looked at her "I'll take you there sometime, it's nice but cold. Think about it, just you and me with our dragons in a 3 day vacation, no responsibilities or chiefing duties" She laughed at this, heartwarming. He took a deep breath at the thought and rested his head against the wall.

"Well, since your father's coming in a few days and I haven't finished my chores, I think that'll have to wait until you're chief" His smile fell, looking down a bit disappointed, she noticed this "but, I'm always available if I really want to", she pinched his chin with the fingers lifting up his face to her. "I think this week has really made you some good" Astrid gave him a tight smile.

He smiled. "Yeah, but I really missed you and that I wasn't able to take you with me, it would've been fun." They looked at each other. He averted his eyes wide, "Oh I almost forgot about Dragon Racing, eh… well, I was thinking maybe next week? When my father's here and all. We could get prepared for next week, I'll talk to him bout it" He nodded and set his jaw, then licked his lips and looked at her again "So… what's up?"

She was looking at him all along, smirking "Well, I actually was gonna ask you what were you going to do later, and schedule my plans one I know them" She leaned in slightly, still smirking.

Oh, so now she wanted to flirt, he thought. He squirmed when she leaned closer to him, looking at his lips.

"Plus the fact that you hadn't kissed me for like one week, maybe more, and you really want to but your confidence little self doesn't let you, affirming that yes, you're the one that really wants me", she couldn't help the huge grin that was spreading in her face as she saw him astonish, searching for a good comeback, with his mouth moving like a fish.

"Hey wait a minute, you're the one who wants me because you're the one showing up in my house" proud of his answer, he smirked.

"Well, actually I came because my mother made some stew for you when she saw you land for the first time in weeks"

"Ohoo, no, don't blame this on your mother, miss. You know the truth"

"Well, I'm going to show you just how much you missed me" she chuckled.

"Oh, believe me we both know who's going to win this one" He said, closing his eyes and putting his arm on the back of his head.

"You really are so sure of it. Told you, your little confidence self won't let you see the truth Hiccup. I'm going to show you" She grabbed both of his hands on the back of his head and started to kiss his neck, darting her tongue out. His eyes went wide and he gasped. Hiccup struggled against her but she didn't let him. Then, she rubbed her knee on top of his groin. He panicked, but then all he wanted to do was kiss her. She let him settle down before she pulled away. A smug smirk on her face.

She leaned to kiss him, but stopped in mid-air, watching him pucker up to her, eyes closed. Astrid chortled loudly and leaned back, standing up, swaying her hips as she started walking away from him "Told you, Dragon boy, you're the one who wants me"

Hiccup opened slowly, he will get what he wants and then he watched her behind doing that thing she knew he loved. She knew he loved. Okay, that was it; he tried capturing her by the waist and pulling her to him, but she saw this coming and walked faster away from him before he could do anything. She run around the fireplace and then behind the table. He stood there not at all amused and followed her. Hiccup knew she loved this little game of hers. With the table between them, she was watching him with a grin so big it showed her teeth and glitz in her eyes. Daring him.

Looking the mischief in her eyes, he sprinted around the table after her, but she gave chase and hurtled to the opposite direction with the table still between them. He stopped, staring at her. "Really? Taking advantage of the one-legged guy? That's how you're gonna do me? It's not really fair Astrid" He narrowed his eyes when he saw her gaze at the front door. She did have leverage, since she was the closest to the exit.

Before he could question her plans any longer, she darted though the house heading to the door and exited the house. He chased after her, not far behind. She could do this, she only needed Hiccup to see her get Stormfly, then she could get along with her little plan she've been wanting to execute for weeks now.

Getting out in the cold weather again, Hiccup watched her run down the hill of his house heading to her dragon, which was waiting outside, for a little chase in the clouds. He groaned in the middle of the hill and immediately knowing where this was going. She wanted a race, she was getting one. Before he saw her take off, he turned to his house, looking for Toothless. Hiccup run up to his room where Toothless was fast asleep, completely dozed off.

"Toothless, wake up, I need you now" He nudged him impatiently. The dragon opened one eye and gave a complaining groan, staying still. "Come on bud. I'll give you extra fish, I need to follow Astrid!" he insisted. At the mention of her, Toothless understood now what Hiccup was talking about; another race with Stormfly. Great. Hiccup urged him more. "Come on bud, I promise I'll pay you back." With one last groan, he stood and Hiccup climbed his back hastily and nudging him up his window.

Once outside he could already spot Stormfly up in the air already way ahead of him. He smirked and took off. She was really far from him, but he did take his time to reach her. He could barely distinguish her through the thick grey clouds. He still couldn't see Astrid; the blue dragon turned and dived swiftly. He chased her through the clouds not quite reaching her completely. Hiccup enjoyed this. It reminded him of the good old days, where there were only them and their dragons and the Academy and adventures and games.

Sometime had passed and he was growing tired. He sped up and actually put an effort to chase Stormfly in with so much thick clouds. But, once again, he had a Night Fury so that was definitely not a problem. The weird thing was that he hadn't heard Astrid or her chuckles all this while. Finally, Stormfly flew down to Berk, settling down and he caught up on her, totally not seeing Astrid at all. Once he landed, Stormfly went directly to the stables, he followed her and pulled the door open just to find the dragon curled up in a resting position, her saddle empty, but slightly changed. He stared at it before realizing everything.

He groaned "Oh, come ON! Are you serious?" he new those two were stealthy, but this time they played him dirty. He figured out her plan and stumped out of the barn heading home, Toothless behind him, also a bit annoyed with the situation, he should be upstairs in Hiccup's room taking a deep nap, curled up after a fulfilling dinner. She was gonna pay for this.

Astrid's plan was setting Stormfly alone in a chase with Hiccup and Toothless, unknowing that she wasn't in the new saddle she modified for herself. It was basically a simple modification with wood and a compartment for supplies in the back, obviously removable and temporary; maybe it wasn't even for good, just for the sake of this ridiculous plan.

That's why Hiccup didn't exactly witnessed Astrid flying Stormfly, in fact, now that he remembered, he didn't see her take off in her dragon, he just saw Stormfly up in the air, far away and certainly not with Astrid. Or maybe he was blinded by the feeling of racing her, instead of thinking whether or not that is truly Astrid in Stormfly's back. She knew this, he concluded. That is why as soon as she was outside Hiccup's house heading to her dragon; she waited until Hiccup realized she wants to race and went back looking for Toothless, so that she could set the dragon off and then hid in the back of his house. Laughing loudly as she watched him chase Stormfly's riderless form.

Somehow she knew Hiccup wasn't going to stop and think for a moment, and realize that she was right about the flirting thing. Oh, she couldn't wait to see Hiccup's face when he finds out. He's going to be so furious of her being right, again…

Astrid waited a while for him to get home and was starting to get bored, how long did it take him? Did she really have him that enraptured? She chortled at the thought. She already had finished the stew she brought pretty much for herself and rested in the couch of the living room.

When she heard a thud of the front door and saw him enter the house, she bit her lip to contain her laugher at the sight of his deadpanned expression before bursting in laughs. She laughed hard as he glared at her then to the ceiling, liking his inner cheek and setting his jaw.

"Hilarious, completely" He gave a humorless laugh, not quite genuine and approached to her.

She tried to catch her breath with her hands in her tummy.

"Oh gods! How long did it take you to figure it out?" She inhaled deeply, leaning back in the couch, "I haven't had a laugh like that in ages, and I needed it"

"I'm glad to provide such delightful entertainment. That's how you treat your future chief? I see how it is." He said blankly as he kept advancing slowly. If it hadn't been for her watery eyes, she could've noticed the intensity of his eyes as he stared hard at her. She wiped the tears with the back of her hand and turned to him. Then she saw his determined expression. Maybe she took it a bit far. Astrid's laughter ceased and she stood up, walking up to him.

"Ok, ok, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone that far", she giggled, then saw it. The hunger in his green eyes almost black, reflecting the golden luminescence of the fire in the hearth and the corner of his lips rising to a lop-sided grin. He kept nearing closer and closer. She took a step back as he took a step forward. Hiccup could see the uncertainty in her eyes, which made him grin wider.

"Hiccup?"

Her back bumped against the wall, she bought her hand up to keep him at bay and put it in his chest, which was now that close to her. He kept staring at her with that intimidating expression with that stupid grin and his eyes nearly black. She stood firm and tried glaring at him.

"You ate my stew" she frowned at his statement.

"You told me you already ate" she tried to defend herself, she tried to find an argument that will make her win "Okay look, know that I was right" She breathed, then pointed a finger at him, "About the flirting thing, I knew it" he kept smirking at her. "A-and you told me you already ate." She still held her arm stretched and stiffed in his chest to keep him from coming any closer but couldn't find herself strong enough when she bent her arm and kept it hovering above his chest. "A-and I-" Hiccup wrapped a hand around her back and the other behind her neck, she tried to breathe, but the air somehow didn't want to leave her throat. "I-I was hungry and…" She felt powerless. She couldn't think. Why?!

He lowered his head next to hers and brushed is lips below her ear. Oh gods, she couldn't talk with him doing that and pulling her closer, adding more pressure, kissing her neck and running his hands up and down her back, ever so slowly.

Damn him.

She had to get a grip on this, but to hell with that.

"And-" she grabbed his head with her hands pulling him up to meet his eyes, looking at him firmly with eyes full of fire. "And I missed you" She caught his lips with hers hardly. Her hand flew to his hair and his pulled her by her waist closer to him. Hiccup pressed her against the wall roughly, hankering the taste of her lips again pressed to his. She gasped as he moved his head downwards leaving a trail of kisses from her cheek to her cleavage. Longing for his lips, she brought his lips again to hers. After what felt like hours, they broke apart for air. He just kept smiling down at her.

"I missed too, only I hadn't realized that until you showed your beautiful face" he said it with a dramatic tone. She smiled.

"Now, that's flattering", she chuckled. He kissed her again. Harder this time, savoring her taste. He pushed his tongue to her lower lip and she hummed into the kiss, bringing him closer and moving her hands through his armor. Their tongues battling for dominance, tasting and bending.

Hiccup squeezed her hips and she gasped, pulling away. He smiled at her, "You know, we haven't done this in a long time now" She rolled her eyes.

"It's not my fault you're always busy goofing off"

"Gods, why do people keep saying that?" He whined and waved his hands dramatically in the air, "don't you realize that I'm doing everyone a favor? Years later, everyone will be able to learn better and quicker about dragons and their habitats" She tried to tell him it was a joke but he kept babbling on about the importance of his mission, "My dad keep bothering me about that and I keep telling everyone that it is not-" She silent his blabbering with her lips in a firm kiss.

"Hiccup, I'm well aware of that, and I know that you're not goofing off, in fact I help you out with the map sometimes. And yes, it is a pity that everyone else doesn't see it, but you have to give them time you know." She held his face in her hands. "Now, where were we?" She threw her arms around him, pressing her body to his. His thoughts were wiped away as she deepened the kiss, sliding her tongue inside his mouth and tangling it with his, purring.

Yep, it's been a while since they've done this.
