BrawlerGamer - tell them what? They are moving, or that they are banging? Haha

SquallOfVIII - THAT ENDING! As for prompts, I've seen it all so you can inbox me your requests? I have a few more to work on so by the time I get to them, hopefully most folks will be caught up. As for handcuffs, I'll confirm or deny nothing.

MidwestMexican - yeah, I imagine most folk won't mind the story lasting longer I'm just mad at myself because I can't write a short story. I think my last short story was Ought To Know Better, which is ridiculous when you consider this and Engineering An Awkward Romance were meant to be shorts.

Number 54 - I think I can do that prompt sometime, though as you said it's on an ever growing list. It did make me laugh.

Vivi-ntvg + Justin k. Moran jr - bless! This story is kinda tame for me. And Hell is nice and warm. Bring marshmallows and a light jacket for in case it freezes over.

Death Fury - Thanks!

Astrid and her laptop took up residence on Hiccup's bed as she perused college courses, Hiccup and his short one or two day job beginning over on his desk. It wasn't too tough - just a few basic sketches of slinky, spring-shaped dragons with some ideas on correctly animating them for the next link in the chain. He planned out to do one in full colour, a few more in shades of grey and a couple more with no colour at all.

A warm set of limbs wrapped around his neck from behind as Astrid took a sneak peek of his drawings, pressing a kiss to the side of his jaw.

"You're so good at that."

"Good job, since I'm not much for physical."

"Oh, I don't know" Astrid nipped at the base of his throat "you're pretty physical in bed."

"That's just you though. I won't be telling dad about that."

She chuckled, nuzzling into him as he finished the sharp shape of the dragons head.

"Do they pay you in advance for this stuff?"

"Kind of. I take a job, I tell them how much and that it's half up front. My reputation means anyone serious will agree. If they don't like it, I redraw it until they are happy. Then I get the other half. If they never feel satisfied, I'll give them half the up front payment back and keep the rest for my time. I don't get many unsatisfied customers. I'm good at dragons."

Astrid nodded, indicating the spiral dragon shapes.

"What are these ones for?"

Tapping the completed, brightly coloured dragon, Hiccup twisted his head to look up at her.

"Uh, these are for a cartoon of some kind. The other job is for a game, which is why it needs details and time. I have to consider how they will move, how they fly. If they'll be able to camouflage into an environment."

She nodded again, then kissed him. Hiccup smiled against her mouth, feeling her run her fingers through his hair and then softly against the exposed skin above his t-shirt.

"Love you."

"Love you too."

Astrid grabbed his hand and subtly tugged until Hiccup followed her, just wanting him to hold her in bed for a little while. He had no objections, inhaling the soft scent of her hair and enjoying Astrid's contented sighs.

"Kinda wish it hadn't taken so long for us to finally do this."

"Me too" Hiccup kissed her forehead "but hey, we're here now. You're stuck with me."

"I get all the luck."

Astrid twisted her head and bit him through his t-shirt with a cheeky giggle, then rolled out of his arms.

"Go do your work. I should focus on this college stuff."

Astrid hadn't intended to not go to college straight from school, but their grandpa had been sick and Astrid had volunteered to take care of him for four years - he died the year before. She was tough though, and gods was she fierce and strong. Hiccup was awestruck she wanted him regardless, let alone that she wasn't put off by the fact they were siblings.

Hiccup cupped her cheek, leant down and kissed Astrid. She responded instantly, sliding her arms around his neck and holding him close. When they pulled apart, Astrid looked almost as dazed as he felt.

"Mmm. Go before I change my mind."

Chuckling, Hiccup slid from the bed as Astrid pouted, itching to take her clothes off and slide beneath the covers with her again. The problem was that it wasn't too long before their parents came back, and Hiccup knew they risked being caught as the two got easily lost in each other.

He finished a couple more of the un-coloured spirals, leaving the shaded ones for the following day. Astrid nestled happily in his lap until they heard the front door opening, sat in their usual position of Astrid lounging with her slippered feet occasionally brushing Hiccup's jean-clad thigh. To their parents, it was normal.

To Hiccup, it was abject torture as Astrid twisted and shifted, bare skin of her thighs and stomach constantly in his peripheral vision. When she pushed herself up on her elbows, Hiccup had to look away as her breasts strained against her t-shirt.

That coy smirk playing over her lips told Hiccup she was absolutely doing it intentionally. And enjoying the suffering she inflicted on Hiccup.

She shifted, kneeling next to him and the angle meant he couldn't help but see down her top. He was dangerously close to touching her in ways their parents shouldn't see. Her breath hitched as he looked at her, clearly knowing what was on Hiccup's mind.

"We're telling them today."

Swallowing thickly, Hiccup nodded. Glancing behind Astrid, he saw Cloudjumper looking at them strangely. Their parents were getting back from work, so they were upstairs getting changed and whatnot but Hiccup knew they would be down any second. That didn't stop him from reaching to graze his fingers over her inner thigh, brushing across the centre seam of her shorts and Astrid bit her lip. He continued up, t-shirt bunching up over his wrist to reveal Astrid's bare stomach.

Hiccup wouldn't have stopped until he had her breast in his hand, except Toothless barked and they realised where they were. Not thirty seconds later, Stoick walked into the kitchen - where he could easily have seen the two. Astrid's pupils were still dilated, Hiccup's cock was solid against his innet thigh and both were probably slightly flushed.

His phone vibrated in his pocket, confusing him until he saw Astrid had hers in hand.

"Tease."

Hiccup had to focus on the prospect of their father catching them to soften his cock, but Astrid was affected in a different way. He could see her shift and squirm, struggling to calm herself - she liked almost getting caught. Fumbling with his phone, Hiccup typed out an answer.

"It was an accident."

"I don't believe you."

Hiccup put away his phone as their mother re-entered the room, equal parts dread and exhilaration at the look on Astrid's face as she continued tapping away on her phone.

"Hiccup! Come'n help me make dinner!"

Their fathers voice boomed across the room and probably the street, so Hiccup got up and headed over. Astrid didn't miss a trick, pinching his ass as he walked past her and he had to cover up the yelp as tripping over something. Her face was pure innocence when he turned back.

"Mom, dad?"

Oh gods, she wasn't waiting. He made sure not to be holding anything that could rattle and show his nerves.

"Yes Astrid?"

"Me and Hiccup talked alot" that was one word for it "over the last week. He's been thinking of moving out for a while, and I've been thinking about college."

Valka didn't look as shocked as he expected. Stoick looked thrown.

"Ye what?"

"Well, we kinda thought about combining the two. You know. Moving out together. That way we can support each other, and we already know how to live together."

"I think that's a very mature idea. Have you decided where you want to go? Or what you're doing?"

Astrid nodded, picking up the bowl of grated cheese and taking it over to the table so it didn't get knocked over by an adventurous cat or their father's huge arms.

"English, Psychology and Creative Writing. I wanna be a writer, but I want to be good. And if that doesn't work out, I'll train in something else."

"I've got no doubt about that lass. Suppose I can't argue the logic of neither of ya going alone. Bit outta the blue though."

"Yeah. You know Haddocks though. We get an idea in our heads?"

"Ain't nothin' gonna stop us. Ye better hurry to enrol, it's July."

Astrid nodded, promising she was getting on it. Hiccup tried not to visibly react, focusing instead on mixing up the sauce.

"I'm gonna call the places that offer the courses I want tomorrow. Will pass the time while Hiccup's working on the spring dragon things."

"Sounds good. Surprising. But good."

Astrid gave their father her most winning smile, the one nobody could argue with as she glowed brightly.

"Thanks. Its thanks to Hiccup really, since him saying he was thinking of moving out was what pushed me to get up and do something with my time."

They both knew it wouldn't be the last conversation that was had on the matter, but at least the idea was out in the open and didn't seem to be garnering negative responses. It wasn't too surprising, surely, that their twenty and twenty-one year old children wanted to strike out on their own.

When Hiccup finally felt brave enough to check his phone, he found a half-dozen texts from Astrid containing graphic details of how she intended to make him pay for getting her hot earlier. His cock filled out in his jeans, making Hiccup glad he was in the bathroom so he could deal with it. He even replied to Astrid's text saying that he'd had to, getting a message of similar need from her.

Neither could meet each others eyes at dinner, but that didn't stop Astrid squeezing his thigh under the table between handfuls of garlic bread to go with their penne pasta dish. Trying not to visibly react, Hiccup jammed garlic bread in his mouth and did his best to ignore his returning erection as Astrid's fingers coasted along the jeans seam of his inner thigh.

There was no relief for Hiccup's tormented self until he left for a shower, then hid in his bedroom. Astrid invited herself into his bed again that night, burrowing into his arms with no room for negotiation. Hiccup had no objections, but Astrid still amused him with her forwardness.

"So, the places I'm looking at for college are both around the same area, so... once you've finished that job tomorrow, you want to start looking for somewhere to move?"

He nodded, shifting to hold her more securely against his chest.

"Mhmm. I can do that. Anything more specific than two bedrooms and a bathtub?"

"Not really. So long as you have a kitchen to feed me in."

Hiccup chuckled, untying Astrid's hair braid and combing his fingers through her smooth tresses.

"As someone who likes cooking, I imagine you knew thats a priority for me."

"Just checking. Honestly? We don't need a whole lot. Somewhere you can draw, I can work and we can fuck. Plus food and baths."

"I agree. I was just checking, since we grew up in this place."

"If we miss it, we come visit. I wanna be with you Hiccup, everything else is just details."

He felt his chest warm, Astrid twisting to capture his lips and pressing their bare chests together. His head swam as she crawled up his body, kneeling over his thighs to kiss him more thoroughly.

"Sorry" Astrid breathed against his lips "I know you don't want anything to happen."

Hiccup really wanted many things to happen, risks and consequences be damned.

"Think you can be quiet enough?"

Astrid grinned.

"Depends how much you mind me biting you."

"You know the answer to that."

I know the chapters have been pretty short lately, but that should improve soon.
