Love is a strange thing. It can make you feel many different emotions, from hate to joy and everything in between, transcending any existing relationship. It can and does exist in places where, perhaps it shouldn't, but true love is in-discriminant. Many find the notion of romantic love between siblings appalling and offensive but, sometimes however, true love is closer to home than you might think, even if you didn't know it.

Once all of the lights were out in the house, Hiccup crept out of his room and over to his sisters room. He really enjoyed their late night talks that had long since become a ritual for them. The subject as of late, was his new girlfriend, Heather. Hiccup had been asking Astrid for advice, and much to her credit, he managed to the girl.

As happy as she was for him, a new feeling had surfaced within her. He had always been her dorky big brother, with all of his dragon poster and drawings covering the walls in his room, tinkering in the garage on his motorcycle, occasionally crashing it. But this new Hiccup, is making her…jealous? She thought that was the feeling she was getting, but it left her wondering what or who she was envying.

Astrid heard her door open and close gently and shortly thereafter someone crawl up into bed with her, slipping under the covers. She smiled as she reached over and turned on the lamp on her night stand. It was her brother, Hiccup.

"Hey sis." Said Hiccup as he squinted and shied away from the bright light of the newly lit lamp.

"What's up?" she tried not to sound irritated, though she was because he had interrupted her own nightly ritual.

"So tomorrow is Heathers birthday and I was wondering if you had any ideas about what I could get her. I guess what I am asking is what does an eighteen year old girl expect to get?"

"Um, I don't know, cigarettes?" it was the best she could come up with at this particular moment.

Hiccup sighed with dissatisfaction at her answer, "Astrid, come on you know she is a health nut. I want to get her something that conveys some romance or something, but you know me, hopeless is that department."

"Instead of getting her something, why don't you give her something?" said Astrid in a soft voice, beginning to spill her un-filtered thoughts out as the haze slowly started to take over her mind, her hands somehow finding their way back down.

"What?" he asked in confusion.

"Take it to the next level, surly it's something she wants, ya know, if she is truly into you." Astrid added that last part, as if an attempt to cast doubt in her brothers mind, playing on his insecurities, however she herself didn't really understand what had possessed her to say it.

Hiccup heard a soft, barely audible moan come from her mouth and was suddenly aware of what she was doing under the sheets that made her sound rather distracted. "Astrid, really? You have to do that right now? Your shameless you know that right?" he gave a light chuckle and got up and left her to her own devices.

Hi there, new to the fandom. I know this type of story had likely been done before, but I thought I would write one anyway, if only for shits and giggles. I have an idea of how I want to develop it and where it will go, how we will get there. If anyone enjoys this, please make it known.
