Okay, here is my first attempt at a multi-chapter fanfiction. Obviously, I own nothing. All the characters and settings belong to Cressida Cowell. Please, read and review! I'll put up chapter two soon.

Chapter One:

Hiccup eyed the small woman before him. When had Camicazi changed? And when had he started noticing her curves and her smile and—He shook his head furiously. He couldn't be thinking that about his best friend. It would just ruin everything.

"Oi! Hiccup!" she shouted, bringing him back from wherever his mind had wandered.

"Yeah?" he asked.

"Gonna help me or what? Of course, I wouldn't expect a boy like yourself to be able to do anything," Cami said with a grin. Hiccup rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Yeah, yeah," he said, moving forward to give her a hand in tying up the ship, noting how dainty she really was. It had been nearly ten years since they'd first experienced Fort Sinister together, nine since they'd gone to Hysteria.

"Hiccup! Where are you?" Cami exclaimed, snapping her fingers in front of his face.

"Sorry. Just thinking," Hiccup said. Cami rolled her eyes.

"Just like a boy," she stated. Hiccup smiled. "Say, how about we go to that cove?"

"Sounds okay to me," Hiccup agreed. He knew Cami loved the cove, and was glad that he'd shown it to her. He took her hand, hoping she wouldn't notice the blush forming on his cheeks.

His father had been hounding him to find a wife. After all, an Heirless chief was hardly worth anything and Snotlout had already married Astrid. Hiccup had to agree with his father, but he hadn't found a suitable woman yet. He wanted someone who would think for herself, which, granted, all Viking women did, but there had to be a thirst for adventure in her that perfectly matched his own thirst for staying indoors, away from danger. He wanted his opposite. Which, unfortunately for him, was his best friend Camicazi.

"And then I took my sword and ran him through!" Cami was saying excitedly. Hiccup smiled. He'd never met a more blood-thirsty Viking…except Snotlout. They'd reached the cove by this point and Hiccup was suddenly extremely nervous.

"Hiccup?" Cami asked with concern. She knew him to well to miss that he was nervous.

"C-Cami," he stuttered. She sat down on a rock and tucked a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.

"Yeah?"

"I have something to tell—well, ask you," he stammered. "As you know, the time to find a wife is now, according to my father." Cami's eyes went wide.

"No," she whispered. "Hiccup, stop." Hiccup winced, by kept going.

"And I—I—well, I want to ask—will you—gods, will you, uh, marry me?"

Silence fell in the cove as Cami's cheeks turned bright red. Hiccup looked away from her, waiting for the rejection. Cami stood and walked to him, raising a right arm. Hiccup turned back to face her just in time to feel her hand colliding with his face.

"Just like a boy to go and complicate things," she growled. Hiccup avoided her eyes as he reached up to cup his cheek. Cami's hand slid over his own and the other caressed his left cheek. "But maybe that's why I keep you around."

Hiccup barely had time to react before she was kissing him and his free hand wrapped around her waist instinctively while the other moved from his cheek to cup the back of her head. He pulled away after a moment and leaned his forehead against hers.

"So, is that a yes?" he asked, breathless from the kiss. Cami chuckled.

"That, Dunderbrain, is a yes," she replied. Hiccup grinned as a nagging thought rose to mind. He merely pushed it away as he looked upon Camicazi, Heir to the Bog-Burglars, swordfighter extraordinaire, and now fiancé to Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the Third, Heir to the Hairy Hooligans.
