A request taking place around S5 of RTTE involving Hiccup's betrothal gift to Astrid and... you guessed it. Smut!

Dedicated to the requester - SquallOfVIII!

-HTTYD-

Astrid patted her collarbone to feel the gift she had yet to tire of checking for. It had been his moms, and with Hiccup that made it more meaningful than most. He didn't have much of his mother and yet he had given her one of the tiny sentimental treasures.

It wasn't there.

She immediately looked around, knowing she hadn't taken it off but still feeling compelled to look. She tossed the woolen blanket off her bed, even the pillow and patted down the wooden frame as though the coin was hiding from her eyes.

Nothing.

Astrid began tossing things around, axes and bludgeons flung carelessly behind her but she didn't find the coin.

"Astrid!"

The worst possible voice sounded behind her, making Astrid turn in panic to see Hiccup peering around her door in case of more flying hazards. She stopped flinging things, but absolutely couldn't spend any time with Hiccup lest he notice the missing gift around her neck. Not until she found it. She needed to retrace her steps.

"Can't stop Hiccup, I just remembered I have to do something."

Before he could ask, Astrid had ran past him, leaving her hut in absolute disarray and all but throwing herself on to Stormfly's saddle before her betrothed had gotten halfway to catching up with her. She and her dragon took off quick, getting a few miles away before Astrid began to think more logically about where she had been that day.

"Definitely had it this when I got up this morning... we went for a fly, so lets start with near those rock pools we took a break in."

Stormfly squawked in agreement, taking her back to where they had rested that morning. Astrid considered it highly unlikely she could have lost it there and not noticed - especially when she had then trained in the arena with Hiccup. He would almost certainly have noticed it missing then. Unless his eyes were a little lower down, as they tended to be when the two were in bed together.

Yeah, they hadn't waited to be married. Astrid wasn't perfect.

"As I thought. Nothing. Where did we go next girl?"

Naturally, Astrid had never had such a busy day as she had when she needed to retrace her steps. She'd been in almost every damn building on the Edge. And that included avoiding Hiccup while she looked. Astrid peered over the tree canopy, seeing a perplexed looking Hiccup saddling his dragon and taking off on Toothless. He was probably looking for her, which gave her time.

First, she'd gone to the clubhouse for breakfast. The clubhouse was fairly easy to search - the barrels in the corner, under all the seats and still nothing. Snotlout decided now was a great time to annoy Astrid with his existence.

"Hey Astrid, it's not too late to change your mind you know. You aren't officially the fishbones wife!"

Astrid pulled her axe, growling as she pinned Snotlout to the wall with the blade just below his stupid square head.

"I do not have time for your yak shit today Snotlout. I have never and will never be interested in you. Now leave me alone if you value your head."

Suddenly pale and whimpering, Snotlout soon scampered away leaving Astrid to throw things left, right and centre in her haste. Leaving a mess yet again, Astrid ambled back out to the walkway outside the clubhouse, tapping her foot impatiently as she considered where else she had been that day.

"Astrid?"

"What!?"

Fishlegs shrank back, making Astrid regret lashing out at him. A little. She was too panicked to be truly apologetic just yet.

"I just wanted to ask if you're ok? You seem a little stressed."

"Do I? That might be because I am Fishlegs."

"Would you like to come meditate in my rock garden?"

"No. No I wouldn't! What I want is-"

Apparently she wasn't stressed enough, because two more voices joined the chaos in her head and Astrid genuinely considered slaughtering them all for a little peace and freedom to search.

"A bigger boyfriend?"

"Two bigger boyfriends?"

"What about two big dragons instead?"

Their voices kept getting more annoying, and Astrid hadn't known that was possible.

"Or a boar and a boyfriend?"

"Two boars and a dragon?"

The sound Astrid made was definitely not entirely human as she yelled at the twins, storming off and reaching the domed training arena in the middle before she sank down, shaking with a mix of distress and anger.

She was going to have to tell him. Admit to Hiccup that the perfect, thoughtful and completely irreplaceable gift was gone. One of the tiny amount of memories of his mother... something he entrusted to Astrid with love and smiles, when she hadn't even gotten him a betrothal gift in return. Astrid had gone and lost that.

Gods, she really couldn't have done much worse there. Hiccup was going to be so disappointed. It was a bad omen to lose your betrothal gift, Astrid was totally certain of that.

A Night Fury intruded on her personal meltdown, adding fuel to Astrid's panic as she saw the face of her oh-so-wonderful betrothed. His soft green eyes normally made Astrid feel safe and secure. Now they made her feel sick with guilt. How was she going to tell him?

Hiccup climbed down off his dragon, grabbing something from his saddlebag before indicating to Toothless that he could leave. Did Hiccup know? Or was she paranoid? Maybe he wanted to initiate something without his dragon present. Astrid felt her legs shake slightly with the anxiety, felt her palms begin to sweat. Her tongue felt too big for her mouth.

"Astrid? Are you alright?"

"I-I have to tell you something."

She stammered, voice thick and not sounding quite like herself.

"Oh. Before you do... I believe this is yours."

Hiccup unwrapped the cloth in his hand, revealing the betrothal gift she had thought lost forever.

"Where did you find that?"

"Where you left it. The chain broke when we were training, I noticed after you left. And fixed the chain. I tried to give it to you earlier but you ran off."

He fixed the chain back around her neck, pulling back and noticing Astrid was crying.

"Hey now, what's wrong?"

"I-I thought I'd lost it and you would h-hate me and-"

Hiccup cut her off, pressing gentle fingers to her trembling lips.

"Astrid, I could never hate you. And even if you had lost it, I would have known it wasn't intentional. Not like me hurling the toy dragon my mom made me into the sea."

A watery chuckle escaped her, Hiccup's mouth replacing his fingers as he kissed her softly. He wiped her tears away with his thumbs, sganding there and just looking at her as the light in the sky began to fade.

"Is that why you ran off earlier? Looking for this?"

Astrid nodded, still not entirely meeting his eyes. Hiccup wrapped his arms around her, pulling Astrid into his body. He kissed her hair, holding her close.

"I appreciate that you care so much."

"You literally couldn't have given me a more thoughtful gift and I thought it was gone."

Hiccup ran his hands down her arms, reaching her hands and lacing their fingers together.

"But it's not. And I'm gonna get you a stronger chain so you never go through all this panic because of me again. That's not what gifts are for."

"I didn't even get you anything."

"I already told you. You gave me you. I could never want anything more."

That gave Astrid an idea. Grabbing his hand, Astrid began tugging Hiccup toward her hut - it was closer than his and they had no dragons with them. Hiccup went along willingly enough, though he stumbled a little on his metal leg when Astrid wasn't accounting for uneven ground.

Ignoring anyone possibly watching, Astrid pulled down the door of her hut and threw herself on her boyfriend. Hiccup always responded immediately when she kissed him, gentle hands placed on her shoulders as he did his best not to accidentally grope her or whatever went through that funny little head of his that she loved so much.

Leaving no doubt what she wanted, Astrid began unfastening his leather gear with shaking, needy hands. His top layer of leather came off, but then Hiccup was reaching for her hands and holding her wrists gently but firmly.

"Slow down Astrid. It's not a race."

He ran his hands along her arms again, reaching her shoulders to remove the pads there. Astrid shivered as he caressed her bare shoulders, still wanting to get him naked and apologise properly. She managed to wriggle her hands under his tunic and remove it, but Hiccup noticed she was shaking and slowly guided her toward the bed.

"We aren't going to do anything if you aren't in the right headspace."

"I am, I just... I want to make it up to you."

"You don't-"

"I feel like I do. Just let me and then I'll be ok?"

Hiccup frowned slightly, though he seemed to gain some understanding when Astrid ran her hand down his bare torso, slow enough to appreciate the developing lean muscles there, to reach his waistband. His hand circled her wrist again, halting her.

"I don't want you doing anything just to feel like we're even."

Astrid shook her head, smirking mischievously up at him.

"I've done this before, you didn't doubt I wanted to do it then."

He looked at her warily, not exactly mood-building.

"Tell me you would want to be doing anything if you didn't feel like you owed me for potentially losing this."

Hiccup touched the coin around her neck.

"I always want you. It's just not always a practical time. Now is."

Finally, Hiccup stopped slowing her down, though he did cup her face, kissing her softly.

"Alright. But don't pressure yourself, that's not really a turn on."

Astrid felt relieved, kissing his neck, his collarbone and enjoying Hiccup's soft sighs of happiness for her lips on his skin. She mouthed down his chest, stopping to flick her tongue across a nipple and Hiccup gasped, hands shaking at his sides but Astrid kept going downward. Hiccup moved when she tugged his hips, kneeling at the side of her bed with Hiccup sat on the edge.

Tugging his leggings down would have been smarter before, she noted. Still, she managed to get them under his cute butt, giving enough room to pull the material off his half-hard cock. Astrid had never expected to find this particular part of his body attractive, but Hiccups cock was gorgeous and she could feel saliva pool in her mouth.

Wrapping a hand around the base, Astrid guided it to her mouth and gave the head a few tentative licks, tempting him to harden further in her hand. A few strokes of her hand and Hiccup's cock was pulsing in her hand, swollen and flushed and leaking arousal. She peeked up at him, knowing Hiccup liked the way she looked at that angle though he didn't admit it; his erection twitched in her hand, telling her plenty.

Taking the head into her mouth, Astrid ran her tongue around the tip in hot circles that won her several needy whimpers from Hiccup's mouth. She was by no means an expert at this, but Astrid was confident enough she could make Hiccup come with her hand and mouth combined. She stroked what wouldn't fit in her mouth, using lips and tongue to stimulate the sensitive head while Hiccup writhed and fought his body to prevent himself from thrusting into her mouth.

"A-Astrid!"

Lifting her busy mouth, Astrid peered up at him and Hiccup twitched in her hand again.

"Yeah?"

"I was about to-"

"That's meant to happen babe."

She made to resume, but Hiccup placed a hand on her arm.

"Not like this. Please?"

Astrid wanted to finish, but if Hiccup was so insistent he was stopping her right at the edge she couldn't really argue. She let him bring her back up onto the bed, kissing her the minute she was in reach. Hiccup's hands moved to remove her vest, leaving Astrid in only her breast binding on her top half. She reached to remove them but Hiccup stopped her again.

"Not a race."

Sighing in frustration, Astrid let him work them off slowly. She was impatient to make him feel good, but Hiccup seemed to be in for the long game. The wrappings on her arms came off, boots kicked away and Hiccup pushed her down on her back. The coin was a little cold on her flushed skin, but Astrid didn't dream of taking it off. Hiccup turned and pulled his leggings back up, probably to stop them twisting around his thighs as he rolled over and kissed her thoroughly.

"I love you."

He had said that their first time too, Astrid deciding that waiting was ridiculous after the first stages of their betrothal - she was obviously certain about Hiccup. And she wanted him. He wanted her. They let it happen naturally, but obviously with secrecy attached. Multiple times... it turned out sex was pretty great.

"I love you too."

Hiccup beamed, leaning down to kiss her again with a hand on her bare stomach rubbing soft circles in the skin. Her skirt and leggings eventually made it to the floor, leaving Astrid in only underwear and the chain around her neck.

"You're so beautiful."

He murmured it against her neck, placing kisses there and running fingers over the sensitive dip of her waist. Astrid really wanted hand and mouth to meet in the middle, her nipples firm with the cold and anticipation in the air. Blissfully, soft hot lips closed around one bud while his hand covered the other, stimulating both sensitive bumps and Astrid could feel him smile against her skin as she arched and moaned beneath him.

Her underwear was already wet, not really helped by Hiccup's hand sliding down to rub tight circles over the fabric that covered her clit. Her thighs shook and Astrid vaguely registered burying a hand in Hiccups hair to hold him to her breast. He lifted both hand and mouth, prompting Astrid to growl in frustration as she had been so close...

When she tried to get on top of him, Hiccup denied her again.

"Not a race, I know but come on!"

Hiccup only smiled maddeningly, pushing her firmly on her back and rubbing his thumb over the inside of her knee. Astrid knew he wasn't unaffected, leggings straining over his swollen cock but he was moving so slowly she wanted to bite him in retaliation.

"I just like seeing you get all hot."

"Thor help me I will leave if you keep doing this to wind me up."

"Astrid, we're in your hut."

She glared, crossing her arms over her chest pointedly and Hiccup's face fell in record time.

"Alright, alright. You win."

Boob power one, Hiccup zero.

Hiccup removed her underwear, ensuring he tickled his fingers along her inner thighs to make her squirm but Astrid was just too glad he was getting a move on to bite him. He had to shift to take off his leggings and his metal leg, crawling back up the bed on all fours. Astrid didn't stare at his leg; Hiccup let her see it but staring made him uncomfortable. There was a much more interesting sight in his swollen, gorgeous cock straining between his slim hips.

"You had your tea?"

"Mhmm."

Astrid craned her head to capture his lips, pressing up against him hungrily and feeling Hiccup's fingers run over the chain on her neck. She shivered beneath his touch, arching her hips to try and urge Hiccup on with getting inside her. Apparently even his torment of her had its limits, as Hiccup finally began to press forward, pushing her open on his cock and gasping hotly against her ear. Astrid wrapped her arms around his shoulders, holding tight to anchor herself against the initial discomfort.

"Breathe love, it's ok."

She hadn't realised she was holding her breath and Astrid felt her muscles relax as she exhaled, the shift enough to make Hiccup's breath hitch. She rocked her hips in a silent plea, Hiccup's body finally moving against hers.

His thrusts were slow and measured, because Hiccup was ridiculously observant and had fast learnt how to make Astrid aroused to the point of madness. She rolled her hips to meet his thrusts, spurring them both on as Hiccup's cock hit her deeper. The slow build up became a constant wash of heat across her skin, pleasure wracking her in waves that followed each push of his hips. Hiccup's flat stomach still pressed against her clit each time they came flush, threatening to make Astrid break each time.

Anybody walking past her hut could probably hear Astrid moan as she thrashed and bucked, clutching tighter at Hiccup as he moved faster and harder in tune with her breathless pleas for more. Her knees tightened on his waist as her body arched and coiled tighter, Hiccup's free hand moving to tweak and torment a swollen, sensitive nipple and Astrid buckled, shattering beneath him as spasms and tremors ran through what felt like her entire body.

Hiccup's primal growl against her ear preceded heat flooding into her as Hiccup came, hips jerking and burying himself as deep as he could. Sweaty and shaky, the two blindly sought each others mouths and kissed lazily. Astrid ran her hand through his hair and Hiccup nuzzled her cheek, pressed a kiss to her nose before he slipped free of her body and rolled onto his back next to her.

Astrid shivered at the loss of his heat and Hiccup noticed, fumbling to pull the blanket from the floor where Astrid had thrown it earlier over them. Then he was reaching out to cuddle her closer beneath it anyway, ensuring Astrid felt pleasantly toasty in his hold.

"So... you feel like we're even now?"

If she had the energy, Astrid would hit him. Instead, she burrowed closer and pillowed her head on his arm.

"Maybe. Might try again in the morning."

Hiccup chuckled, leaning down and kissing her forehead.

"Whatever you say milady."

Another prompt off the list and hopefully brightening someone's day!

Onward!
