Chapter 9

Astrid watched as her mother stood, pushing the chair with the back of her knees and walked toward Hiccup, She saw Hiccup wearing the face of terror and she got up ready to defend him but her mother got to him first, lifted him into the air from his chair with ease, and… hugged him? She looked to her father and he was as confused as she was and she wondered why he looked scared until she heard a loud cracking noise and turned to find Hiccup limp in her mother's arms.

"You've still got it," Hiccup squeezed out.

"You bet I do," her mother smiling a victorious smile.

Her father cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention, minus Hiccup's who was still being squeezed.

"You two know each other?"

"Of course we do, otherwise he wouldn't be squirming in my arms," Her mother said setting Hiccup down, who started taking deep breathes before straightening himself out.

"How long?" She asked.

"He's 14 now, so… 4 years?" Hiccup nodded his confirmation.

"You've known him since he was 10?" She was shocked.

"That's not exactly true, we're friends with his parents so we've known of him since he was born but I've only gotten to know him 4 years ago," her mother explained.

"We?" She asked.

"By 'we' I mean your father and I," Astrid turned to her father who looked like he just realized something.

"Your Stoicks boy?" He asked.

"It's nice to meet you, sir," Hiccup answered awkwardly.

"Don't you sir me boy," Hiccup looked scared, Her father smiled, " Call me Eric!" She could hear a slight ring in her ear from her father's joyous yell.

"Yes sir… I mean… of course… Eric," Astrid noticed Hiccup didn't have his drunken confidence, she figured she was in the shower to long or maybe her mother squeezed the alcohol out of him, either way she wasn't sure whether she was happy about it or disappointed.

"So how's your father doing?" Her dad dragged Hiccup into a conversation, so she turned to her mother.

"You've known of him since he was born?" She asked her mother.

"Come now, don't tell me you don't remember when you first met him? You used to play together all the time,"


She did remember, but given she was at least 4 when she met him she didn't remember much, just a few things here and there, but she did remember going to the park almost everyday and finding him there ready to play with her until one day she stopped going because her mother started putting in extra hours at work and was to tired to take her. When she finally managed to get her mother to take her he wasn't there, she thought he probably couldn't come that day, but when he didn't show up any time after that she stopped going too. The next time she saw him was the beginning of 6th grade and she was happy, she thought she was going to become great friends with him, spend time together like they used to, but when she tried to talk to him, he didn't recognize her, he had forgotten her.

Saying she was mad was an understatement so when Scott started calling him Hiccup she was all for it. Then one day a few days before winter break she got partnered up with him during PE, they were having one last contest before break and she thought maybe this was her chance to befriend him again. He was thin and obviously not very athletic so she carried them all the way to victory, her competitiveness making her forget her plans of befriending him, later that day she was mad at herself while hanging out with Rachel, Rachel noticed and asked what was wrong and she was to embarrassed to tell her the truth so she told her that Hiccup was completely and utterly useless during PE, in those words. The next day when she walked into class she saw Hiccup in his seat as usual but he looked...sad. He looked up at her and their eyes met, she felt her heart rate rise along with her temperature, she hoped she wasn't blushing. When he looked back down at his desk he looked like he just gave up and she wondered what was wrong and was about to ask him what the problem was when Scott appeared and told her that Rachel mentioned how useless he was the day before and now everyone's calling him Hiccup the Useless.

She wanted to apologize but every time she tried someone would ruin it and make things worse, eventually winter break started and she thought maybe by the time school started again everyone would have forgotten and it would be water under the bridge. Of course, she was wrong, if anything it just got worse, everyone stilled called him Hiccup the Useless, he didn't have many friends to begin with but now he didn't have any and she felt terrible so she tried to apologize again but someone would always ruin it and make things worse... again. After that Hiccup avoided her, at most she would catch a glimpse of him on her way to class, and during rare moments when they would end up face to face he always looked sad and defeated, their eyes never meeting. The next two and a half years of middle school were the same.

During the summer before their high school career started Francis mention he befriended Hiccup and she felt a combination of jealousy and irritation, she didn't like that someone who called Hiccup, Hiccup the Useless, befriended him when she herself never used that name to address him and he still avoided her whenever they were in the same room, not a single hello. She was glad he wasn't befriended by some girl, Francis has a sister the same age as them but that was Francis younger sister, she was sure he wouldn't let Hiccup mess with his sister. So she was shocked when Francis told her he was at his place probably having fun with his sister. She asked if he was okay with it and to her surprise he seemed to be okay with Hiccup and his little sister being a thing. It appeared that somewhere along the line she started to have… feelings for Hiccup, so she used Hiccup's backpack as an excuse to go to Francis's house and check out the situation.

When she got there she saw Jennifer cuddled up against Hiccup and she was furious, but she wasn't going to let herself show it, so she took a picture and planned to use it against him later. Francis woke him up and they joked about it but then Jennifer woke up and she started to flirt with him and she wasn't going to have that so she showed her the picture of them sleeping together and she left the room. Astrid was happy when she got Hiccup to invite her to his house, until Jennifer came back and almost immediately sat on Hiccup's lap, she turned to Francis but he went back to reading one of his books and she couldn't hit the girl so she endured the next hour of torment. Hiccup said something about leaving and she lifted a brow as Hiccup and Jennifer whispered to each other before deciding to join him, remembering him inviting her to his house. She left first and waited for him around the corner she couldn't hide her excitement as she held a smile on her face and panicked when she saw him turn the corner and almost bump into her.

She walked in front of him the whole time hiding the smile on her face and enjoyed the sound of his footsteps behind her. After a while she heard his footsteps stop and turned around to look at him and decided to get a little payback, she called out to him using the wrong name and he didn't seem all that bothered so she decided to call him a different name every time she called him. He lead her to the back of his house to his own garage type building and she was surprised, one side had scrapped metal and the other was filled with chemicals, one chemical caught her eye and she asked how he got a hold of something so dangerous, he told her his dad got it using his connections but she remembered overhearing a conversation about a missing bottle of sulfuric acid not that long ago and she connected the dots. She was a little insulted, he was lying to her now, she changed the subject and found out that he didn't have a cat, he has a wolf, so she jumped back bumping into something and felt something splash on her. That's when Hiccup practically maybe even literally ripped her and his own clothes off leaving them both half naked. She couldn't help but look at him almost checking him out as he tried to cover himself with his hands, she asked questions someone would ask during times like these but she couldn't care less why he undressed her.

Eventually they had to get back into his house so he pulled out a blanket from the cupboard and they went under it to his house. She was nervous, really nervous, she made sure to keep her face hidden under the blanket so she could hide her rising blush and stopped him from poking his head out, that would cause them to be close to one another and she didn't want him to feel or quite possibly... hear her heart pounding. So when they got into his house she kicked him out from under the blanket and hugged herself trying to calm herself down. She walked into his room and she had to hold herself back, they just entered his room and they were already almost naked, she got him out of the room telling him to go get her shoes so she could calm herself down again. She hopped into his bed and waited for him to come back, asking herself what she was going to say when he did, she didn't anticipate him running and jumping into bed with her and hugging her. He said something about his mother being there and she couldn't help but feel excited by his close proximity, she could feel herself starting to burn, and it only got worse when she felt his erection through his boxers. She was fine at first it wasn't constantly poking her, she could feel it every now and then but then it started to grow and she could feel him between her legs, she could feel his erection skin to skin contact on her thighs. Eventually it stopped growing but it was right where her womanhood was, only a light piece of fabric keeping them from joining. She was getting wet from the thought of them becoming one.

After his mother left she wanted to take a cold shower, when they pulled apart she felt his erection rub against her folds and she let out a moan. Now she knew she needed this cold shower. Afterwards she changed into clothes he left out for her, ate pizza, and enjoyed a movie then he saw her erect nipples through her shirt and gave her his jacket then he walked her home, she was happy and content. Then she remembered the PE accident where she fell on him and he seemed to be really hurt and the hug Jennifer gave him, then Jennifer left with Hiccup and she was left there angry with her new friend Heather who seemed to like him too but she wasn't the problem at the time. Then she found him under Jennifer's bed that morning and took advantage of him as he slept, she really couldn't help it, she wanted to kiss him, so she did. After that she saw Hiccup and Cami make out and that didn't sit well with her, then Cami said something about there being enough of Hiccup for the two of them which confused her. They ate at some restaurant and now she knew what Hiccup and Cami were doing and she didn't know what to think of that, she's known Cami for a while they're parents are friends so they hung out every now and then when she visited. She was exhilarated when Hiccup started to touch her but maybe it'll be better if he touched her and he wasn't under the influence. Those were all of her memories of Hiccup and she hoped there would be more, and she'll have proof like the bite mark on her shoulder.


"Hey, you there? Hello? What's wrong with your shoulder?" Her mother asked snapping her fingers in front of her.

"No, I don't remember, I don't really think about him," She lied.

"What's Wrong with your shoulder?" Her mother asked again.

Before she could answer Hiccup coughed and they turned to look at him, he looked guilty, he was probably remembering when he left his mark on her. Him leaving a mark on her didn't bother her, if anything, she liked it. She gave him a reassuring smile and turned back to her mother.

"It's nothing, just scratched myself," She took the towel off of her head and laid it on top of her shoulder.

"So wh-when do you think the weather will let up? Kind of getting late, I need to head home soon," Hiccup asked looking out the window.

"I'll get the couch ready for you, it's not suppose to let up until tomorrow afternoon maybe sooner if we get lucky," Alva answered.

"I wouldn't want to overstay my welcome and tomorrow afternoon is well, it's a… that's a long time," Hiccup said nervously.

"Nonsense, you can stay as long as you want, you can even shower here if you'd like," Eric told him.

"Yeah, I still have the clothes you lent me, washed and everything," Astrid added.

"You have his clothes?" Alva asked him.

"Um, yeah, he lent them to me after I showered at his place some days ago," She realized her mistake right after she closed her mouth.

"Why did you shower at his place… some days ago," Eric asked, Hiccup suddenly found the table top very interesting.

"I was covered in," She thought it was a good idea to leave the whole covered in sulfuric acid out and she didn't want her parents to ask why she was covered in baking soda either, "a white substance," She cringed, Hiccup seemed to be turning into a tomato.

" .Substance?" Alva was staring her down.

"Fluhh, flour… she was covered in flour, I was trying to teach her how to... bake a cake and um…," Hiccup didn't have the courage to continue.

"You were trying to teach her how to cook?" Alva asked.

"Ye-yeah, like mother like daughter… right?"

"What do you mean?" Astrid asked.

"If you're anything like your mother when it comes to cooking, I could teach you a few things like I taught her,"

"You taught my mother how to cook?"

"Well, no, but I did teach her how to make a few dishes,"

"Oh yes, that smoked fish you like so much, he told me how to make it, it's actually what i'm making for dinner today," Her mother explained.

"You know how to cook? You seem to be the type to eat nothing but pizza and other take-out," She asked him.

"That's… that's actually kind of insulting,"

"Dinner's going to be ready in an hour, mind giving me a hand Harry?" Alva asked walking into the kitchen.

"Of course," Hiccup followed, happily leaving the awkward environment.

"A white substance," Her father looked at her.


"Dinner's ready," Alva called out walking to the table 2 plates in hand, Hiccup behind her with another 2 plates.

After the table was set and the food was on their plate they began to eat, Hiccup noticed Astrid was just poking at her food.

"Something wrong Astrid?" He asked.

"Astrid and I had a little chat is all," Eric answered for her.

"We had the talk," Astrid hissed the last two words.

"The talk?" Hiccup asked.

"The one every teenager should fear," He still wasn't getting it, "The sex talk Hiccup."

Alva burst into laughter and Hiccup looked unfazed, completely calm but confused.

"Okay?"

"Have you experienced the talk yet?" She asked him.

"I have," He answered.

"So Stoick gave you the talk already lad, how'd it go?" Eric asked him seemingly excited.

"It wasn't my dad who gave me the talk,"

"Oh? Then who?" Alva asked still pretty giddy.

"I don't know who he was, what his name is, and I haven't seen him since,"

The others began to eat, including Astrid as Hiccup began telling his story.

"It was about a year and a half ago, my parents were out and I forgot to buy groceries, I didn't want anything delivered so I went to the convenience store for a soda and a bag of chips, on my way back it started to snow and I ran into said guy, holding a beer in one hand and holding himself up with the other, I was going to walk past him but he held out his hand to stop me and he introduced himself, he was drunk and his speech was slurred so I didn't understand what he said," He stopped to drink water while the others were silently eating and listening, " He said something about his son and being a grandfather, how he gave them the talk and then he just started repeating what he said to his son and... maybe a bit more," he whispered the last part.

"So you were given the talk by a drunk stranger while it was snowing?" Alva asked.

"And what do you mean by 'maybe a bit more'?" Astrid asked, Hiccup was beginning to admire her hearing skills.

"I was indeed given the talk by a random drunk guy and by a bit more I mean he didn't stop talking for a while and I'm pretty sure he wasn't giving me the talk 30 minutes in anymore,"

"Then what was he telling you?" Astrid asked, by the look on her parents faces he could tell they wanted to know aswell.

Hiccup cleared his throat and started to fidget awkwardly, he wasn't entirely sure how to continue.

"He started talking about his own experiences, you know, what he does when he's in bed with someone, from missionary to the wheelbarrow and his personal favorite the 'butter churner'," Hiccup looked Astrid in the eyes, told her not to google those words then continued his story," he explained everything in detail, apparently I wouldn't understand how any of it worked if I didn't understand the female body, so he explained that in detail, every erogenous zone and how to poke, rub, and lick them. He went into so much detail that the conversation lasted about 2 hours, needless to say I caught a cold."

"And do you remember everything he said?" Eric asked, he didn't look excited anymore instead he looked interested.

"Every last detail," He answered quietly before he cleared his throat, downed his water, and realized he had finished his dinner as he was talking.

"You haven't seen him since then?" Eric seemed very interested in knowing more.

"No, he gave me a job and we went our separate ways," He was about to change the subject before Alva spoke up.

"He gave you a job?"

"Yeah I almost forgot about that but yeah, he gave me a package for his son and I took it to him, the next day I found an envelope addressed to me with money and a note inside that read 'Job well done' and that's it,"

"You live a strange life," Astrid added putting her utensils down.

"It was a strange couple days," He nodded and started thinking back and realized he did seem to attract weird people, but those are stories for another time, one was enough for now.

Astrid watched as Hiccup seemed to be lost in thought and her parents started telling stories of their past encounters with strange people, though none of them were as interesting as Hiccup's. Before she knew it the plates were gone and it was getting late, late for her parents anyway.

"We're off, don't stay up to late," Alva told them as Eric walked up the stairs first, leaving them alone sitting at the table.

"So… do you want to hang out in my room?"

"After you," He said as he followed behind her.

He wasn't sure if he still had some alcohol left in him or if he was turning into some kind of pervert but he couldn't stop looking at her ass as she led him upstairs toward her room, he saw his own hand come into his field of vision and start reaching for her behind.

Astrid felt like she was being looked so she turned around and saw Hiccup scratching his cheek while looking away, his face had an innocent look, she thought he was up to something, with one final glance at him she continued her way to her room. She made it to her door and looked behind her to check on him, he'd been really quiet on the way here, even if it wasn't that long of a walk, he was still looking around with an innocent look on his face. She opened her door and threw her towel into toward her chair but instead it land on Hiccup's face.

"You… um… you smell nice…," He didn't know what to say, he just got a towel thrown at him.

"Sorry, I didn't see you there, you have a habit of moving really fast," She explained as she removed the towel from his head and draped it over the back of her chair.

"Moving really fast?" He asked.

"You disappear and reappear so quickly that no one sees you leave or come back," She turned around to find him drinking water from a glass cup.

"What? Do I have something on my face?" He wiped his face," Is it still there?"

"Where'd you get the glass of water?" She asked.

"I went downstairs and… I'm kidding, it was right there next to your big bed, very spacious," He smiled apologetically letting out a light chuckle as she stared at him.

"So why'd you bite me?" She couldn't help but smile as he recovered from his coughing fit, drying the wet part of his face.

"Why'd you cover for me when you found me under the bed?" He retaliated.

"Because I wanted to give you a chance to explain yourself,"

"Then why'd you ki...um… why'd you bring me my backpack when Francis offered to bring it to me for you?" He hoped she didn't notice his slip up.

"I answered one now you answer one of mine," She noticed his slip up and realized that he was in fact awake when she repeatedly kissed him that morning, she laid down horizontally on her bed, her pillows right behind her, trying to look nonchalant.

"I um… I got… I got kind of… I don't like to… share… so I got kind of… possessive and… um… mar-," He cleared his throat," marked you."

"You mean like you write your name on your lunch so no one else touches it?" She asked, she was holding back a smile, if it was happiness or laughter she didn't know, probably the former.

"I wouldn't say lunch but same premise," He answered quietly.


Alva woke up to use the bathroom and looked at the clock, it was almost 11Pm, she returned to bed and remembered she completely forgot to set up the couch for Hiccup, she got back up to check on him.

"Where you going?" she heard Eric ask groggily.

"I'm going to check on the kids,"

"You forgot to set up the couch didn't you," He chuckled softly, she answered with her own light chuckle.

On her way to check if Hiccup was sleeping on the couch she saw Astrid's light on and opened to check on her, she smiled and walked to the entrance of her room.

"Come look at this, and bring the polaroid," She told her husband, who slowly got up and followed her, camera in hand.

"Isn't that adorable?" She whispered to her husband.

"If that wasn't Harry, i'd be pretty irritated," He answered holding up the camera and taking the picture.


Astrid woke up first and she felt different, like there was something weighing her down, she opened her eyes and looked down, she saw Hiccup lying on her bed using her ribcage as a pillow. His face facing her, her breast right in front of him, he looked peaceful, so she poked him a few times making sure he was really asleep, he was.

She started caressing his face, her thumb found its way to his mouth before he opened his mouth and started gently chewing on it. She had an idea, maybe not a good one for this early in the morning but it seemed like a good idea to her barely awake mind. She scooted down so his face was touching the bottom of her breast, before slowly lifting her shirt slowing down when she reached Hiccup's head making sure not to wake him then lifting her bra along with her shirt so her breasts were exposed. She caressed his face again and just as he was about to begin gently chewing on her thumb she moved her breast closer, she felt his teeth and lips gently sucking and biting on the underside of her breast, she tried to move her nipple closer to his mouth but she wasn't big enough so she settled for the former. It wasn't long before she properly woke up and now she didn't know how to make him stop.

She heard her parents moving around outside her door so she quickly pulled her clothes back down and feigned sleep, Hiccup groan, she not only stopped his gentle actions but she tapped his face with a little too much force. Hiccup slowly woke up, rubbing his eyes and grabbing his jaw, it was a little tense, like he'd been using it. He lifted himself up and looked at Astrid's sleeping form, he got off the bed, put his shoes on, put his belonging in his pocket, and took one last glance at Astrid. He called to her softly and when she didn't answer he placed a gentle kiss on her lips and left the room jacket in hand.

"Leaving so soon?" Alva asked Hiccup as he opened the front door.

"We got lucky, the storm stopped early, might as well head home now," He answered calmly looking at the sky.

"The clouds are still dark, might start again soon," she placed her hand on his back, "does it still hurt?"

"All the more reason for me to leave now," He answered ignoring her question, and walking out of the house.

He made it to the sidewalk before a very loud crack of thunder could be heard and snow started to fall. Alva stayed at the front door waiting for him to come back with a smile on her face, she turned around when she heard Astrid.

"Where's Hic-... where's Harry?" Astrid asked.

"He's right there,"

When she turned back to face Hiccup, she found that he wasn't there anymore, She looked around but he was nowhere to be seen, thunder rolled by and she felt the door tremble.


I sincerely apologize for taking so long with this chapter, at first I was reading a lot of other M rated stories and I learned a few things, granted some were strange... good... but strange. Then life punched me in the face and wouldn't let me get up, things are sort of in order now, life left metaphorical crutches for me. The next one might be late to so I apologize in advance.

Enough about that, What did you guys think about this chapter? Too long or too short? Bad or good? Some advice to make this better would be accepted and you will have my gratitude. Seriously, how'd I do?
