A/N: Alright, I know that I'm awful and started a new fanfic, but I just couldn't help myself. Here's my Hiccstrid fanfic. So far, it's full of Hiccstrid fluffiness, so prepare yourself for that. And like I said in the summary, it's rated M for one chapter, which I will put a warning when that chapter arrives.
It's been a few years since the defeat of Drago Bludvist and not too much has changed in Berk, much like every year. Hiccup slowly got out of bed and hobbled downstairs.
"Morning, Mom."
"Good morning, Hiccup. So what do you have planned today?"
"I'm hiding in Gobber's shop so I can finish my project."
"And what might that be?"
Hiccup smiled and said, "A ring for Astrid."
Valka looked at her son and beamed and asked, "So you're going to ask her to wed you?"
Hiccup nodded and said, "I love her. When push comes to shove, she's always been there for me and I want it to stay that way."
Valka ruffled her son's hair playfully and said, "That's the same reason your father gave me."
Hiccup sat in Gobber's shop, doing the finishing touches on the ring.
"Now, hit it there, and it will even it out." Gobber advised.
Hiccup did as instructed and held the ring up.
"Astrid is a lucky girl, Hiccup."
"Thanks, Gobber. Now don't tell anyone just yet, okay?"
"Fine fine. My lips are sealed."
Hiccup nodded and slipped the ring into his pocket and left to meet Astrid at the stables. He had been thinking about how he wanted to do this, but drew a blank every time. He decided to just ask, but right now, him and Astrid were packing up for a flight around the islands to study them.
"Extra food and water?"
"Yes."
"Extra clothes?"
"Check."
"Weapons?"
"Hiccup, did you really think I would forget those?"
"Of course not, milady. Blankets?"
"Yes."
"Will you marry me?"
"Yes. Wait. What?"
Astrid turned to look at Hiccup and he was already on one knee, with a golden ring in his hand.
"Will you marry me?" Hiccup asked her again.
Astrid's breath caught in her throat. She should've seen this coming, after all they had been dating for quite some time now. Her palms became sweaty and her heart started racing.
She nodded her head and slowly, words began to form as she said, "Yes. Yes."
Hiccup stood and slipped the ring on her finger and kissed her.
"I love you, milady."
"And I love you, Hic."
"Now, let's go before my mother smothers us."
Astrid chuckled and mounted Stormfly and watched as Hiccup seemingly effortlessly strapped himself onto Toothless.
"What are you looking at?" Hiccup asked her.
"Oh just enjoying the view." Astrid said and she flew off.
Hiccup flew after her and his mind was still racing. Him and Astrid were to be married soon, probably as soon as they returned to Berk.
"She said yes." Hiccup said to himself and smiled at the thought.
She was finally going to be his and he couldn't be anymore happy.
Astrid looked at the ring on her finger and smiled to herself. It felt almost familiar now, even though it has only been on her hand for a half an hour.
"So where are we going, Hiccup?"
"Itchy Armpit."
Astrid laughed and said, "Is that what you and Toothless named it?"
Hiccup shrugged and said, "It was his idea."
"Uh huh. Hmm. Looks like it's straight ahead."
"That it is, milady."
They landed on it and Astrid asked, "Why here? There's nothing here except trees and rocks."
Hiccup pulled Astrid towards him and kissed her tenderly and said, "That's why."
Astrid rolled her eyes and playfully punched his arm and said, "You're a dork."
"Yep, but because you agreed, you'll have to deal with me for a long, long time."
Astrid looked down at the ring and said, "That I do."
He kissed her again, holding it a little longer that time and didn't want to part.
Toothless nudged Hiccup and they had to part. Hiccup looked to where Toothless was staring off to and saw a dragon flying towards them. As it flew closer, he saw it was Cloudjumper and his mother. They landed and Valka dismounted.
"Well you two certainly got the newlywed behavior down."
"Mom..."
"What? It's true."
Hiccup turned to Astrid who was about as red as an apple and he asked, "What are you doing here, Mom? Is there something wrong?"
Valka pulled an envelope out of her pocket and said, "This came for you."
Hiccup took it from her and the outside read, "To Hiccup Haddock, Chief of Berk. Urgent." Hiccup opened it and read the letter inside.
"What does it say?"
"The chief of each village wants to hold an emergency meeting. Dagur has completely lost it and he's threatening to attack everyone. They want to meet tomorrow. It looks like I have to fly back and prepare for the flight there."
Each rider mounted their dragons and began to fly back to Berk.
Hiccup turned to his mother and asked, "Think you and Gobber can handle running Berk for a few days? I'd like to take Astrid with me."
"Of course, son."
Astrid gave Hiccup a questioning look and he returned it with a smile, which she knew that meant he had a plan. They landed on Berk and Hiccup and Astrid both went into their respected houses and began packing up what they would need for the trip.
