ONCE WE WERE WARRIORS

A/N: Hiccstrid smut abound in this chapter. Thanks goes to Descew MiCrose, Infanincy (I am an Aussie!), and UnbreakableWarrior for the reviews. I regret nothing! (P.S. There even maybe a short little chapter for the xmas holidays with missing toes!)

WIDE AWAKE

"So let me get this straight, if I get hurt Stormfly will be able to feel my pain and if I was to die….
" Astrid trailed off. Hiccup nodded his head.

"Yep that's right, she would die as well." Hiccup said gravely.

"Isn't there anyway to break the bond? I mean how did we even bond in the first place? Does your Mum know?" He chuckled then, all these questions he had thought about and asked.

"This isn't funny Hiccup." Her arms folded across her chest. Oh how it was funny, she was acting EXACTLY like him and not realizing it, which made him laugh all that much harder. Hiccup waved his arms trying to settle himself down.

"I've asked Mum, but she has never heard of anything like this, she said she was going to look into it. I think she might have to travel." Astrid nodded.

"So where is she?" Astrid asked. Hiccup shrugged.

"She never stays here. I think she tried once, but it was too much for her. Too many memories, she likes sleeping out under the stars, with all the dragons. It's been nineteen years so I don't blame her." Astrid thought Valka was staying with Hiccup, especially at this time, this hard and trying time.

Hiccup placed another log onto the dying fire. Astrid's mind was a range of emotions even if she kept her mouth shut about everything, all Hiccup had to glance at her and he would know what she was thinking. Her parents knew how difficult this time was for their young Chief, she didn't have to say a word to her parents when she left with Hiccup, anyway both her parents trusted her and Hiccup fully. The hut was quiet except for the crackling of the wood on the fire. Hiccup took a look at Astrid sitting there, her profile illuminated by the fire and his breath caught in his throat. She was absolutely beautiful, he must have done something right for once in his life, to have this beautiful creature sitting next to him.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Astrid questioned, her hands going to her face, trying to wipe whatever was there. Hiccup said nothing but grabbed her hands, making her lean forward and he did the same.

His mouth was upon hers in an instant. He would never get tired of kissing her and he hoped, she would never get tired of kissing him. There were no words, just gasps, groans and moans. One kiss turned into five, five turned into ten and ten turned into who knew how many. Astrid was lying on the floor, her skirt and boots were already off as they were trying to get comfortable and warm in front of the hearth. Hiccup was atop of her. Hands were clasping and grasping. Astrid's body was heating up, that oh so familiar feeling, making her quiver as if she was cold. If Hiccup had noticed he didn't say anything.

His hot wet mouth, searched out skin to tease, lick, nibble, suck and torment, and this was just skin he could see. How could he make everything so sexy? And when he took her hand and slowly sucked on each digit, with that gaze, she unravelled, almost completely. Hiccup still had his peg leg on, as he was still uncomfortable, even after all they did on Itchy Armpit. His one boot was sitting neatly beside Astrid's things.

Astrid wrapped one arm around Hiccup's neck, the other rustled through Hiccup's hair pushing his head down to hers. Her lips crashing upon his, she nibbled on his bottom lip, sucking it into her mouth, slithering her tongue over it. She let it go before running her tongue along his teeth. Her tongue found his and it was a battle. Neither wanted to lose, both wrestling, tongues swirling, breath was lost and eventually both needed to part for oxygen.

Hiccup had that goofy smile on his face, that was really contagious, as he looked down at Astrid. He had no idea what to do next, he let his instincts take over. Oh his Father had tried to tell him about the facts of life or as Stoick put it bluntly sex. As soon as he heard that word out of his Father's mouth, Hiccup cringed and bolted. He sighted some lame excuses like he could hear Gobber calling him. Now here he was in this position and hadn't had a clue what to do next. Luckily his girlfriend decided to take charge.

Astrid rolled them over, so that she was atop of him in front of the hearth. The flames licking the wood in a calming fashion. There was nothing calm about the two lovers in front of the hearth. Astrid's heart felt like it was about to explode, the adrenaline that surged through her was like nothing she had ever experienced. She loved Hiccup in his flight suit, although she would never say that out loud. The suit clung to him in all the right places, she had checked him out on more than one occasion, when she was sure no one was looking.

There was only one problem with the flight suit. "These blasted buckles!" They were preventing her from her well earned prize! She didn't care that he was a toothpick in fact that made her love him even more. Hiccup decided to help her out before she ruined the suit. Astrid was sitting on his lap, she felt his erection through not only his pants, but through hers. She couldn't help rubbing herself over him. She gasped, he moaned. "Not helping." He said through gritted teeth.

"Hurry up." She complained. Frustrated she shrugged her armour off, along with her gauntlets and her shirt.

She was still grinding into him and he thrust up to meet her grind. She was unravelling her bindings. He finally opened his top up, but couldn't get it off as Astrid was atop of him. "Umm Astrid?" Hiccup tried. Astrid had finished unwinding her bandages and stared down at Hiccup, a glint in her eye and a smirk on her lips. "No stay like that. I want to remember this, and besides I think you've got a pretty good view yourself." She ground down on him. His arms automatically went to her waist, to help her grind where he needed it the most, and where he thought she needed it the most.

He loved watching her face contort in bliss and he especially loved watching her breasts jiggle when he or she made any type of movement. Astrid ran her hands over his chest and stomach, even though he was lithe, she could just make out the faint outline of abdominal muscles. Hiccup laughed. "Don't." He said in protest, because tickling would be breaking the mood. He grabbed her arms leaning up into her. His chest met hers, and he couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the soft mounds of flesh. The peaks as hard as small pebbles.

Astrid gave out a small whimper. Hiccup became a little bolder. "Tell me what you want Astrid." He whispered into her ear as he sucked at her earlobe. She moaned in response.

"Touch me, kiss me, love me." She whispered. His hands gently massaged her breasts.

"Anything for you M'lady." He whispered back, kissing her soundly on the lips. His mouth then made a blazing trail over her chin, down her neck, lightly nipping every now and then, which made Astrid gasp and cling onto Hiccup that much tighter. And when his lips finally latched onto a nipple, she felt like she had exploded.

Astrid's hands automatically went to Hiccup's head, her fingers threaded through his hair, to try and tell him with actions, that he was doing a wonderful job, since words failed her. He lavished the other mound with the same merciless attention. He was so painfully hard and Astrid's grinding even though it was great, wasn't giving him the attention his member needed. It was like Astrid had a sixth sense or maybe it was because she was fuelled just as much as he, at any rate he felt relief when her fingers found the draw strings and nimbly started to undo them.

His brain chose this moment to come back to him. "Astrid, wait!" He gently moved her hands away, massaging them gently to reassure her that it wasn't her, yet she still voiced her uneasiness. "Did I do something wrong?" She was now as confused as ever. One minute they were hot for each other and the next Hiccup was almost as cold as the temperature outside. "No, no, no, no. I love everything you do it's just…" He trailed off, hoping she would understand him.

"It's just what?" She asked, tugging her arms back to cross over her chest. Nope, she had no clue.

"Well what if I'm too small, or gods forbid you think I'm too big and your frightened away? Or what if you hate the way IT looks?" Astrid finally caught on.

"Hiccup you idiot." She slapped him on the chest.

"Ouch!" He complained, rubbing his chest which was now a little red.

"I don't care what you look like, even…" She took a deep breath. "Even down there!" Her cheeks were red as she spoke. "Just let me do this. I want to do this for you." She said and against Hiccup's better judgement he relented. He was still hard, but not nearly as hard as he was before. He went back to kissing Astrid whilst she made space in his pants, enough to get her hand in and feel him. She thought this might save them both some embarrassment.

He was hot to the touch, hard and yet soft but firm, and pulsing. She wrapped her hand around him just as she would her axe, not as tightly for fear of hurting her lover. She started to pump him slowly and his body decided to join in on the thrusting. Not one to leave out Astrid, he slid his hands down to the junction in the middle of her pants, not daring to go under cloth yet. He felt her shift and watched as she bit her lip in concentration. He watched her face as he moved his fingers over particular spots, one seemed to get a reaction more than others. There were only gasps and grunts, the fire now just dying embers. Not that Hiccup or Astrid cared, each had a goal in mind, each not stopping until that goal was achieved.

"I'm, mmm, ahh, that's really good, I'm close!" Hiccup panted.

"Same, keep rubbing right there. Oh yeah just hmm, like, arhh, that." Both Astrid and Hiccup gasped for breath. Astrid decided to kiss Hiccup and that was both her undoing and his. He came all over himself and Astrid's hand. "Oh gods, I'm so sorry Astrid. Here let me clean that up." He tried to get up but Astrid still had half her body on him. "Babe relax. I love you."

"And I love you as well." He replied. Astrid was tempted to taste her hand, so she could taste him but what would Hiccup's reaction be? She left it for now and decided to get cleaned up along with Hiccup.

"Do you have a spare tunic?" She asked. Hiccup went to his trunk in his room, Astrid following.

"Umm yeah here." He gave it to Astrid and she thanked him, going back downstairs to give him time to recover and get ready for bed, she was pretty sure she had a big wet spot on her pants. Once he was ready for bed he came down to see what she was doing. He had to admit she looked good in green, he still couldn't believe it, she was really here and staying?

"I told you, I'm staying the night in case you can't sleep or in case you wake." He must have spoken aloud again. He didn't need further explanation on the wake part, it was if the nightmares came.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you in my life M'lady, but I'm glad, I wouldn't want it any other way." Astrid smiled and climbed into the bed lying on her side beside Hiccup, her man, her Chief.

A/N: So a whole chapter dedicated to Hiccstrid smut! I actually don't know when I will return to this, as I got some sad news recently. A beautiful cosplay friend died on Tuesday from a sudden heart attack. When paramedics arrived they tried to revive him but were unsuccessful. His cosplay page is Justin Acharacter on facebook if you would like to leave your condolences. I miss you Juzzy R.I.P. Life is so unfair ;(
