(Hiccup POV)
"Are you sure that you took the E train to Hasetsu?"
"That's the one with the orange detailing, right?"
"Yeah"
"Then I'm on the right one. See you in a few minutes."
I hung up as I waited at the Train station with Yurri and Victor. After that whole misunderstanding, Yuuri seemed more relaxed and we were able to actually without any long awkward pauses.
"So what the name of your girlfriend again?" Yuuri asked.
"Astrid" I answered.
"Ah, that means 'divine beauty' or 'godly strength'?" Victor asked
"Both" I quipped. "It describes her to a tee, since she pretty much has both."
Speak of the devil, she was coming down the escolator and texting on her phone. I nudged the two and pointed her out before I started to walk toward her. She still had a her eyes on her phone as she got down, so I decided to circle around her and surprise her. I creeped up behind and quickly wrapped by arms around her & whispered, "Hey babe." I should have known better than to sneak up on a 5th degree black belt, because all I had to do was blink before I found myself on my back with an acute pain to my butt.
"Dammit Hiccup, I told to not sneak up on me like that in crowds." she said with her hands on her hips, but with a concerns look in her eyes. She had her hair up in her usual intricite braid and wore a sea green short sleeve top and jeans.
"Hello to you too." I wheezed as I tried to sit up. I couldn't say much of anything else before a mass of black fur pounced on me and started to lick me to death. "Good to see you took, bud." I petted and push the husky mix off of me.
"You alright?" Yuuri said as he and Victor approached.
"You weren't kidding about that godly strength, huh?" Victor commented before turning to Astrid and offered his hand. "Hello, I'm Victor and this is my partner Yuuri. You must be the 'divine beauty' that Hiccup has talked about."
"Yep" Astrid shook Victor's hand with an unexpectedly strong grip. "And that's Toothless." She patted his head as he finally got off of me.
"It's nice to meet both of you." Yuuri let Toothless come to him before petting him and letting him lick him.
"Aw, you were right Hiccup. He's just like Ungen (*1)". Astrid cooed quiet enough for only Hiccup and Victor to hear, which resulted in a giggling Victor and a confused Yurri.
"Let's catch up on the way to Yu-topia. Mama Katsuki is making Katsudon." Victor said stirring everyone to the taxi stand.
Everyone pilled into a taxi van along with Astrid's & the rest of my belongings and headed to Yu-topia. The ride mostly consist of small talk and getting to know each other. It had been decided that Astrid would be staying with me, but Toothless would be at Yu-topia since my apartment wouldn't allow large dogs to live on the property.
When we got to Yu-topia, Astrid and I enjoyed a private onsen reserved for couples, while Victor and I helped Mom in preparing the Katsudon.
I could tell that Astrid enjoyed the pork cutlet bowl from the disappointed pout she gave after seeing that she ate it all so quickly. Yuuri & I couldn't help but laugh considering the same thing happened to me with my first Yu-topia bowl.
Everything would have been fine if Mari hadn't come in with some Saké and Victor challenging Astrid to a drinking contest. Considering both of them are from northern regions with populace that can hold their liquor, I wasn't sure what was going become of this contest. With end in sight beyond getting tipsy, they quickly got bored that is until Astrid made a suggestion.
"Hey, Yuuri!"
"Hm?" Yuuri was leaning on victor as me nurse his cup of sake.
"Why don't we have a contest?"
"N-no thanks. I'm not that much of a drinker." he said a quiver that sounded like nervousness.
"Neither is Hiccup." she said pointing a thumb at me.
"What? Hey! I can hold my liquor. I just not a fan of it." I said trying to come of with an excuse that didn't sound lame.
"Then it shouldn't be that bad." She directed to both of us, "You guys can just keep it brief."
"I don't think its a good idea Astrid."
"Come on~" She begged. "I'll let you do that thing you like so much."
"Really?" I glanced to the other couple second.
"Come on Yuuri~" Victor said nudging Yuuri.
"I would but I don't think Hiccup would want to-"
"I'll do it." I cut Yuuri off.
I reached for Astrid's cup, while Victor gave Yuuri his cup and poured both of us a cup. I felt a little guilty after looking between Yuuri's cup and mine, since I dragged him into whatever game Victor & Astrid with playing with us. When we downed the first cup, I was surprised probably not expecting the sake to taste so sweet & bitter at the same time. This couldn't be too bad.
We downed a few more shots until my mind started to feel fuzzy and I swear that I saw crossed his eyes a couple of times. By the time that I was nearing my limit, I could just barely keep track of how much sake we drunk. I could feel and see Victor and Astrid prodding both of us, but I wasn't sure what they wanted. I was Yuuri trying & failing to wave them away and prepare for another cup before face planting in the table and blacking out.
OOOOOOOOOO
(Next Morning - Yurri's POV)
When I woke up I didn't expect to find myself with a dull headache while on the floor shirtless with a couple of sake cups covering my eyes. I must have past out after drinking the other night. When I moved the cups off my eyes I looked around to find that I wasn't alone. Hiccup was practically in the same state that I was in, but with a empty bottle of sake on his stomach instead cups over his eyes.
"Nice to see that your up."
"How bad were we last night?"
"Let's see?" She took out her phone and started scrolling though it. "Why don't you see for yourself?"
She handed the phone to me and I was both embarrassed, but not too surprised. We did everything from break dancing, to karaoke, and what looked my dry humping our significant others.
"And before you even think about deleting any of that, Victor has copies as well and I've already up my half."
"Astrid, you definitely as scary as Hiccup described."
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This storyline fell a little flat compared to what I had in store for it. But was can I say, I lost steam by the time that summer ended. I might come back to give this story a proper ending, but for now I'm going to put a cap on this fic and call it a night.
