This is crossover but the pairing is, as always, Hiccstrid, so don't worry ;)

"Sit"

Hiccup flinched. His father hadn't talked to him in that tone for a long time. His voice was deeper than usual and very serious.

Beside him, Astrid sat straight on the chair with a frown, her gaze locked on the chief.

"There is... something important I have to tell you two" the man announced.

"Yes?" Hiccup encouraged.

It wasn't like he wanted to hurry his father, but he and Astrid were having their morning flight in peace before Snotlout had come saying Stoick had to talk to them. He was still a bit pissed for the interruption, while Astrid seemed completely calm despite her previous fit of anger.

"It's a... matter of peace, chief duties"

Hiccup frowned "So... what does Astrid have to do with this?"

Stoick took a deep breath "She's involved more than anyone else on Berk, son"

He looked at the tiny blonde and there was pain and guilt in his green eyes.

Astrid pursed her lips and started to fidget with one of the skulls attatched to her skirt.

"Stoick?" she asked with an unsteady voice "What's the matter?"

There was a moment of terrible silence before the words came out of the chief's mouth "I had to make a peace treat with the Scots of Dunbroch. I had to promise Hiccup would... marry the princess"

Hiccup blinked. From the corner of his eye he saw Astrid widening her eyes and bringing a hand to her mouth.

"Y-you can't be... serious" Hiccup studdered.

Stoick closed his eyes "Hiccup"

Realisation hit him. He stood up "How did you dare?!" he yelled "Ruining my life! That's what you're doing! Did you forget we're supposed to get married in two weeks?!"

"It was done for peace!" his father shouted.

"I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS STUDIP PEACE! I JUST WANT TO MARRY THE WOMAN I LOVE!"

Astrid stood up and Hiccup looked at her. She was trembling, her eyes were empty, already clouded by tears.

"I... need a moment" she said quietly and rushed out of the room.

Hiccup turned to his father "I'll never forgive you for this" he hissed and ran away.

He found Astrid at the back of his house, kneeled on the ground, her body shaken by sobs.

He fell on the grass beside her and wrapped his arms around her. He didn't say things like 'it's okay', he knew it wasn't.

"It was way too amazing to last" she cried histerically "And now you're being sold to another woman"

She looked up and her puffy eyes made Hiccup gasp "Why does everyone get to be happy but not us?" she sobbed "Why?!"

He shook his head and he felt tears start to stream down his face as well. He could only pull her closer and rest his head on her shoulder.

"I don't know, Astrid. I don't know"

"I ruined their lives forever" Stoick muttered watching from afar the two young lovers take flight on their dragons, their faces still red and tears streamed.

Avannah Hofferson looked up at him "You didn't, Stoick" she said reassuringly.

Her husband, Gobrick, rested an hand on her shoulder "Hiccup will be chief soon" he said "He'll understand why you did it"

"Astrid won't" the chief said.

He had become really fonded of the young viking and he loved her like family. He was glad she could make his son so happy and having to break them apart was the hardest thing for him.

Avannah smiled sadly "She will understand as well. She's a strong woman, our Astrid. She'll... get over it"

Stoick could hear the uncertainty in the woman's voice and the worry for her daughter's conditions.

"I'm so sorry" he could only whisper.

And he didn't even know who he was whispering his apology to.

REVIEW please and let me know what you think :)
