I am so sorry for this taking so long but I was away for a bit but Im back and made this one a bit longer than normal. Thanks for being so patient again!
Enjoy!
"Do we have to go to sleep yet?" Astrid whispers as they get into their room taking Hiccups hand pulling him towards the bed.
"Well if we are leaving later after everyone travelling on boats I can't see why we shouldn't stay up for bit." Hiccup replies taking the lead and pulling her on to the bed so she lands on top of him.
"But what can we do? Well...that won't attract attention." Astrid says smiling cheekily dipping her head down to kiss along his neck.
"A-astrid as much as I'd love to do this, I really could do with the sleep." Hiccup cautiously says lifting her up by her shoulders so he can look at her reaction to his dangerous statement.
"Ah fine, so could I, I guess. Night night." She says yawning and then rolls off him to sleep.
"DOES EVERYBODY HAVE THEIR THINGS?" Stoick bellows to the crowd surrounding him at the dock.
"Can we just get on already Stoick? I know I have everything I need." Thrash shouts back drawing every set of eyes to him.
"Thrash do you even have your underwear?" An older woman replies, presumably his mother.
"Errrm..."
"Thought so." She grins smugly as he runs towards the village.
"Right, everybody on the ships, Hiccup I will see you later." Stoick commands and then briefly places a hand on his sons shoulder before guiding everyone onto the boats.
"So now we have to fly dragons that aren't our own, how weird." Astrid randomly points out.
"Yeah, but its only weird for you guys because I ride then all the time."
"Who do you ride all the time Hiccup?" Snotlout shouts butting in.
"Astrid don't kill him, he will always be an asshole." Tuffnut says apologetically to the angry looking girl.
"Hey what crawled in your ass and stayed there I thought we were friends?" Snotlout jokes with a look of fake hurt on his face.
"Moving on..." Astrid says over the top of the bickering boys, "Hiccup we do we do now?"
"Don't put him under so much pressure Astrid hes not the chief yet." Ruffnut jokes.
"Can everyone just stop picking on him for a sec, we can do that in Berk." Astrid huffs.
"Erm... thanks Astrid..." Hiccup says timidly, "Right, Snotlout grab some rope, enough for each of us. Does anyone know how many dragons there are?"
"I think there might be 8 or 9?" Ruffnut answers suddenly serious now.
"We need 3 more people, Ruff' could you see if there is anyone left that isn't on the boat that is okay with learning to fly a dragon." Hiccup commands sounding a bit like a chief.
As Ruffnut runs towards to dock Snotlout returns with a huge armful of rope, plopping it down with a huff.
"When Ruff' returns we go to the stables and prepare the dragons for flying, it will be weird but we have to as quick as we can."
Ruffnut returns with Strika, Erna and Hak explaining what Hiccup had gone through with the others.
"Right lets go to the stables, Snotlout grab the rope, everyone follow me." Hiccup orders. As he does he glances at Astrid whose eyes are locked onto him in a way he will have to ask about later on.
Strika slinks beside Astrid surprising her a little and the two walk silently for a minute looking around at the passing village until they all reached the large dragon stables.
"Okay, I wandered around this stables last night when I went for a walk cos I couldn't sleep and know there is 9 dragons in the stables here and we have 2 newly trained ones in Berk that could be used by 2 people, there is 11 that need to have dragons so this works perfectly. There is 4 Nadders, 2 Gronkles and 3 Nightmares. The Gronkles are new to flying as are 2 Nadders and 2 Nightmares but they have all been trained by me, so the more experienced or more confident riders can have those 6 to chose from where the 2 other Nadders and a Nightmare have had plenty of practice so the less confident riders can fly them."
"I may be new to this but I am a natural apparently so I can deal with an untrained Nightmare easily." Erna adds sounding more interested than normal.
"Yeah, I am okay with an untrained dragon. And I do love Nadders." Astrid agrees nodding at Hiccup.
"I think I can handle it, maybe if I crash I'll get some scars. Awesome I get a dragon to myself and its a Nightmare that is so cool." Ruffnut also adds chuckling.
" Fishlegs, will you be okay on a different Gronkle?" Hiccup asks holding his arm out towards the worried looking Fishlegs.
"Y-Yeah, Im sure Meatlug would forgive me. Its for a good cause." He replies sounding nervous.
"Strika and Hak, you two can go on the trained Nadders, Snotlout you go on the trained Nightmare, Tuff' you can just go on the other Gronkle. Everyone grab a length of rope, while deciding who will be who I sorted them into correct lengths for the dragons."
Hiccup showed everyone the dragons each of them would be riding and made harnesses and reigns for them. He had saved Astrid and himself for last and moved to the stable where her and a dark blue Nadder named Hurricane were waiting.
"I like it when you go all focused and your inner chief takes over." Astrid says in a way that made him shiver as he tightened the knot on the rope he was holding.
"Now that, Astrid, isn't very fair is it?" He asks in a tone similar to hers.
"What isn't?" She questions in the same tone.
"Just because we are alone doesn't mean we have time to be alone, you can do that to me before we go on such a long flight back." Hiccup moans but still maintaining the tone.
"We might have time." She smiles back almost evilly.
"Okay, I'll test that." He grins pushing her against the wall in the stable and kissing her a little harder than he probably should of.
Just then the Hurricane squawks signalling people approaching and the two pull apart quickly and moving away from each other.
"My dragons all set, when do we leave boss?" Snotlout asks not suspecting what was just going on.
"Soon, I'm done with Hurricane so now I sort out my Nightmare," He states, then as Snotlout turns to leave Hiccup turns to Astrid and whispers "nope, not enough time."
He walks to the next stable where a beautiful Monstrous Nightmare with purple streaks running through her deep crimson coloured scales was resting. As he looked for a name plate on the stable door he noticed her name was Freyja which seemed a perfect name, he had never seen such a beautiful Nightmare before and felt like he had an almost instant connection with her when he had flown her before.
Once all the dragons and rider where ready to fly they gathered in a larger field so they would have room to take off.
"Okay so the Gronkles should leave now as they are slower we will catch up soon after some last minute checks." Hiccup commanded making Tuffnut and Fishlegs take off steadily.
Nadders and Nightmares are pretty similar in speed when you slow a Nightmare down so we should be okay. Strika, Hak are you two good?" Hiccup asks.
"Yeah Astrid went through basic Nadder info with us so we should be fine."
"Alright then, lets go." He shouts making the Nightmares and Nadders take off and head towards Berk.
"Hey, look its the ships" Snotlout points out laughing at the fact they have only been flying an hour and have already passed them, even though they have been sailing for half a day.
"Hm if I was on Toothless I'd fly down and say hi but this little beauty is a little too big for that I think." Hiccup says patting Freyja, earning him a purr like growl in approval from her.
"Ooh I spot a love match." Ruffnut jokes.
"Yeah you do seem pretty attached to her, but she is a beautiful dragon." Astrid says admiring the dragon.
"Ah I might have to own 2 dragons instead of just one, there is actually plenty of dragons to be used to train but I might have to keep her." Hiccup ponders but it seems his choice is made for him as she purrs again when he says about keeping her.
"Would Toothless feel threatened?" Astrid asks sounding a little concerned.7
"I think he would be fine." Hiccup says but secretly feels unsure.
After an uncountable amount of hours flying, with numb butts the teens and dragons finally land in Berk.
"Astrid can you make sure Freyja is okay here real quick I need to check on Toothless I can hear him." Hiccup pleads running towards his house.
Hiccups foot clinks against the floor loudly as he runs making the dragon more excitable as he drew closer.
"Toothless!" He shouts as he spots the silhouette of his bestfriend.
With a happy gargle he gallops over and jumps on him licking his face making Hiccup laugh.
"That dragon has been pacing ever since he smelt you in the air." Stoick's friend shouts chuckling at the odd display of friendship.
Toothless and Hiccup approach the group of new dragons cautiously and a dragon introduction begins. Toothless sniffs every one of the dragons making sure there is no danger and nods when he is content.
Astrid giggles at the dragons greeting each other in such a weird way and pats Toothless on the nose gently.
"So this is the amazingly ferocious Night Fury?" Hak laughs.
"Yeah, I have heard a lot about this one but I didn't think it could behave so...domesticated."Erna adds sounding a little bit disappointed.
"He helped me take down the Green Death, he is the most amazingly ferocious dragon I know, aren't ya' bud?" He replies scratching under his dragons neck.
"Hey it looks like you might have to face another green thing, the green monster of jealousy can affect dragons and Freyja looks pretty pissed." Ruffnut points out.
"Ah that reminds me—bud I will still fly with you like normal but I'm going to be training this Nightmare for a little while..." He sighs and waits for a reaction from Toothless, "I'm sorry its won't just be me and you; well me you and Astrid anymore."
The dragon grumbles but doesn't seem too annoyed but all of this drama is broken up by a fimilar bunch of dragons that appear.
"YAAY." Astrid shouts slightly out of character.
"What?" Hak asks confused.
"My baby is still as beautiful as ever, oh I missed you so much I won't ever leave you again." Astrid coos as she hugs her Nadder.
"Meatlug, it's not what it looks like I promise—I had to ride him back—I'm sorry, COME BACCKK." Fishlegs shouts to his obviously jealous wife—I mean dragon, as she was actually flying away with a look of betrayal.
"Hey it looks like Hookfang is taking a fancy to Freyja, oh my god we could have dragon babies." Snotlout squeaks forgetting his 'manly man' attitude, at the thought of little dragon babies.
"Now don't you hurt my Freyja, Hookfang. Okay?" Hiccup orders pointing at the Nightmares.
"Hiccup can we go take the dragons to the training arena now? They are getting antsy." Astrid says bringing the attention to the bouncy restless dragons.
The group of dragons reach the place they will be staying for however long it is they are here for and start to sniff around at the new smells.
"Had anyone sorted sleeping arrangements for you?" Hiccup asks the three from the Meathead village.
"I think Stoick had some idea, I'm pretty sure I am staying with the twins." Hak says giving a sly wink to Ruffnut.
"Oh my gods I might get some." Ruffnut squeaks into Astrid ear.
"Hey, I might have to finally have that wrestling match I promised you back at the spring." Hak winks again taking her hand and leading her off.
"Hiccup, the others can take care of Erna and Strika, can we go do that too? Obviously just us too though." Astrid whispers into Hiccups ear.
"Sure," Hiccup replies, "Me and Astrid will be back in a little while, we have to do some things and stuff... erm... yeah. See you all later."
Hiccup leads Astrid out of the training arena and though the doors, to find Hak and Ruffnut had only made it to a tree where they were trying to be secret about how madly they were kissing each other, obviously failing.
Astrid started to feel jealous that her and Hiccup weren't in a similar hold doing that right now and began to walk faster, feeling the control slipping. She had managed to do so well when they were away, sort of not losing control... She could feel it slipping, like when she first had a lack of self control and didn't know how to cope. She was feeling more and more insane with only their hands being the parts of their bodies touching.
"Where do you want to go?" Hiccup asks sounding like he could be experiencing the same thing. He has one of the most amazing girls he has ever met holding his hand walking to find a place to do secret couple things. Calm. Please stay calm. He cautions himself, knowing last time he felt this way he got a bit carried away and things ended sooner than expected.
"Anywhere... " Astrid breathes "Just private."
They began to walk faster towards a small covered area in the cove that he found Toothless in for some 'couple time'.
They reached the sheltered part and Astrid was immediately pushed against the rock hard wall by Hiccup so they could kiss with no space between them.
The pair kissed for what seemed timeless before they progressed to anything other than just that. Their hands began to roam and pull off items of clothing until they reached that point where they are almost naked and don't know what to do next.
"Astrid...I know you are okay if we have sex... and I would be totally up for it... but I feel guilty... and right now sex outside, on a rock... doesn't seem too appealing and it seems to be lacking dignity." Hiccup breaths looking down annoyed at himself.
"I understand both of those reasons, but at one point you will have to do it Hiccup." She says smiling.
"But I don't want to take you and then you end up married to like...Snotlout or Fishlegs...?" He replies wincing a tad.
"I won't let that happen. Promise." She replies placing her hand on her heart.
"We should get back before the ships arrive." Hiccup sighs pulling his clothes back on.
Astrid also sighs pulling her clothes on as she has done so well lately controlling her...urges...she needed some sort of release of the tension in her overly excitable brain.
After the ships had arrived everyone went to the Great Hall to celebrate this new bond between the villages. All the teens had been sat on one table for this banquet like it was the kids table... although there was a kids table...but on their table they couldn't drink.
On the table almost everyone was sitting in couples for some reason for example: Snotlout and Hiedi, Tuffnut and Atrocia; Vex and Strika, Erna and Alarr, Hiccup and Astrid and Ruffnut and Hak were all sitting as couples but then there was the rest sitting awkwardly conversing as singletons, Thrash, Frek, Fishlegs, Helena and Elina there was almost a perfect amount of boys for girls, it's just some were less desirable...
Ruffnut and Astrid had gone to get another drink together when she pulled Astrid outside to tell her something she had been dying to say.
"I don't know how it happened or why but that 'wrestling' Hak and me had planned ended up a different kind of physical contact." Ruffnut squeaks unable to contain her obvious excitement much longer.
"Are you even with him?" Astrid asks raising an eyebrow.
"I am now, he asked like the day before...I just forgot to let you know..."
"Ahh you bitch, nah Im kidding. Hey we need code words for this so we can go back in there and talk about it without them actually knowing what we are talking about." Astrid suggests excitedly.
"Oh my gods yes! We should think of them another time but we should probably go back in now." Ruffnut suggests sensibly.
"Okay, this will be fun."
The night progressed and the amount of available Mead was decreasing and Hak and Ruffnuts physical adventures of the previous night became obvious when she kept placing her hand in interesting places.
Her and Hiccup hadn't been exactly saint-ly the whole night either, they had snuck off a few times to make out and what-not but had almost been caught every time.
Alarr and Erna had had an argument because of Helena and Snotlout and Tuffnut's luck with Helena's friends had run out so some couples weren't very 'couple-y' the whole night, the only overly sexual drunks that where in couples seem to survive, Vex and Strika had left and come back 3 times already this night looking more and more exhausted each time. Ruffnut and Hak where still 'under table flirting' and Astrid and Hiccup were finding it harder and harder to control how obvious their sexual attraction to each other was at that moment.
Sadly at the end of the night Astrid had to go to her home and Hiccup to his, so their drunken 'end of evening' separation was hard and probably took longer than necessary.
The next morning Ruffnut and Astrid met to continue what they remember of the conversation last night about Hak and how they should create code names.
"Dude my head is pounding like a drum." Astrid moans holding her sore head.
"Mine is too but something else was pounding last night." Ruffnut giggles.
"What?"
"We are just way too sexually active for our own good..." Ruffnut trails off.
"Ruff' what are you talking about?!" Astrid shouts bringing Ruffnuts head back to this land.
"Thor almighty you are so slow when you have a hangover. Do you want me to spell it out?" She replies sarcastically.
"Yes... but talk quieter."
"Gods above..." She mutters back, "Fine. Me and Hak. We make sex. Eat. Sleep. Sex. Repeat. Do you get it now?"
"Oh right, how is it..." Astrid asks awkwardly not being able to make eye contact.
"Well, it hurts a tiny bit, but Im glad I chose a slightly older guy...he is like a parsnip."
"Excuse me?" Astrid replies sounding confused and shocked.
"I don't mean parsnip shaped just...longer than I expected..."
"Oh, well I thought that about Hiccup..." Astrid shivers trying to control her thoughts.
"Boy you wouldn't expect that from fishbone would you." Ruffnut laughs.
"I really didn't but he has got pretty big hands and feet—foot... It sort of makes sense doesn't it?"
"I guess so—OH MY GODS! Snotlout has tiny hands and feet." Ruffnut shouts bursting into laughter.
"Poor boy, can never live up to his attitude, and I just thought of another thing, just because he is your brother I will make this as painless as possible, you and Tuff' have similar hands and feet right?" Astrid states wearily.
"Yes...I have big hands and feet—EW I DON'T NEED TO THINK OF THAT EW. EW. EW." Ruffnut shouts tackling Astrid.
The girls play fight regularly to wind each other up or just to spar with each other but it normally ends in Astrid winning or a forfeit for the two...
This times forfeit is to find out and compare the sizes off all of the age appropriate guys they know. Just for fun.
How they do it will be rather interesting.
Ahh not really a cliff hanger but there will definitely be things hanging next chapter ;) [another apology for another terrible joke oh my.]
Thanks for reading and favouriting and following and reviewing you are all so awesome.
For the end of this I am taking inspiration from real life as me and my friend have some pretty funny conversations about code names and size comparing, so thanks to that as it will make this story rather amusing next chapter. :D
[...also possible smut ...woo?]
