Waking Up As Husband and Wife
Smack!
Hiccup groaned and opened his eyes slightly to find a hand on his face. "What the-?" He lifted it off and looked to see the hand belonged to Astrid, who was still sleeping peacefully next to him.
Oh.
Oh.
It made more sense now. Their wedding was yesterday. Which means that they are now officially husband and wife... The Chief and Chieftess... And last night they showed their love in the most intimate way a husband and wife could.
Smiling softly at the blonde, Hiccup moved some hair that had fallen in her eyes. He could get used to this... Waking up next to the woman he loved. This right here, this was the Astrid no one else knew and no one else would ever know, except for Hiccup.
Take that, Snotlout.
Hiccup snuggled closer to his wife rested a hand on the small of her back. He felt her flinch and then his green eye were met with blue. "Hiccup?"
"It's so nice that your voice is the first thing I get to hear today," Hiccup smiled.
Astrid looked around. "The sun's up," she commented and moved so that she would be laying on her back.
"It is."
"We got married yesterday..."
"We did."
"Your bed head is really cute."
Hiccup smiled. "You think we should get up?"
Astrid smiled and placed a hand on Hiccup's bare chest. "We could, but then someone will come by because they'll hear us moving around downstairs. And we don't want that."
"And... Why don't we want that?"
"Because you and that cute butt of yours is mine and only mine for two weeks."
Hiccup chuckled and pink crept up his face. "I love you, Astrid Haddock."
"Mmm, I could get used to that. Astrid Haddock, it has a nice ring to it."
"A very nice ring to it," Hiccup said stroking her cheek. "What do you say we continue what we make use of our honeymoon?"
"Hmm... I'll have to think about it."
"Astrid?"
"I'm kidding. Come here you," Astrid pulled Hiccup in for a kiss.
Once they got up, they found a basket of food downstairs on the table.
'Didn't want you two starving on your honeymoon. Congrats.' ~ Heather
"How do you think she got it in here without us knowing?" Astrid asked, looking behind her shoulder at her husband who was messing with his hair.
"I don't want to know because it probably had something to do with the twins," Hiccup shook his head. "But it was really nice of her to do this for us."
"Yeah, it was."
Hiccup came up behind Astrid and wrapped his arms around her waist. "You want to go on a boat ride?"
"Yeah, sure."
"Normally I'd ask if you wanted to take a romantic flight, but... uh..."
"Taking a boat ride is just as romantic, Hiccup."
"I know..."
"Then let's do it."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Maybe we can even leap off a cliff later."
"Really?"
Astrid nodded and kissed his cheek. "But only if we can sneak out without being spotted by Gobber and the twins."
"Challenge accepted!" Hiccup grabbed Astrid's hand and ran to the front door. He opened it to reveal Tuffnut.
"Hey H! How ya been? How was last-" Tuffnut started but Hiccup quickly slammed the door and looked at Astrid.
"Uh... Sneaking out one of the windows would probably be easier then going out either of the doors," he chuckled and Astrid rolled her eyes but nodded.
"Mhm," she said and they laughed as they made a plan to escape the Berkians.
