A/N : Yes, I am updating TWICE IN ONE NIGHT.

By redprimarily: "How about Hiccup asking Astrid to marry him ? or Snotlout flirting with Astrid and Hiccup getting jealous?"

Okay! I'm going to do the first suggestion tonight, then the next one... probably Sunday or Monday.

Disclaimer : I own nothing.

Also... let's say that this is maybe a year after the movie? Since vikings married young and everything.

How to Propose to Your Girlfriend:

"O-okay. Astrid, we've known each other for a long time and I've always loved you... no, no. That sounds stipud. Alright. Astrid, I'm going to be chief one day, so I need a woman by my side... gods, that's even worse. One more time. Astrid—"

"Son," Stoick said, interrupting Hiccup. The young man was currently pacing the floor of his bedroom and talking to himself. "What are you doing?" his father asked.

Hiccup looked up, surprised. "N-nothing," he answered quickly. "Just... thinking."

The burlier of the vikings smiled knowingly. "Are you finally going to ask Astrid to marry you?"

"F-Finally?"

Stoick rolled his eyes, going to sit on the bed near the doorway. "Yes, finally. Her parents have been pestering me for a marriage contract since the two of you started dating, but I've been telling them that we should let the two of you go at your own pace. And, I must say, you're taking an incredibly long time."

Hiccup rubbed the back of his neck, embarrassed. "Yeah, well, this is Astrid we're talking about... it's gonna be difficult."

"Come now. Who was the one who took on the Queen of the dragons almost single handed?"

Hiccup sighed, making his way toward the stairs. "You haven't seen Astrid on one of her bad days. Way more intimidating than a dragon."

Sadly, Stoick knew that his son was not exaggerating.

Astrid, softly humming to herself, was walking down the docks. She wasn't really paying attention to her path, more so her thoughts, which were revolving around one thing.

Hiccup.

He'd been acting weird lately. Well, weirder. On a normal day, he would be accompanying her, babbling on about something or other, or possibly stuttering awkwardly. It all depended, she guessed.

But, the point was, he wasn't with her, and that was a bit... unnerving. Not that she would ever admit it, oh no. After all, she was a capable viking woman. She didn't need anyone.

Right?

Sighing, she kicked a pebble out of her way. It was almost mid-afternoon, and still no sign of her missing boyfriend.

Maybe one of the other viking teens would know.

Right on cue, she saw Ruffnut doing... something. As Astrid grew closer, she realized the girl was sewing (though, attempting might be better).

"What are you doing?" she asked, going to sit by her friend. Ruffnut looked up, stabbing herself with a needle in the process.

"Damn," she said, looking at the trickle of blood. Then, at Astrid, "What are you doing? Shouldn't yo be with Hiccup?"

Astrid shrugged. "He's been missing all day." Ruffnut laughed, and Astrid looked up. "Do you know where he could be?"

"What a wuss!" Ruffnut said, instead of answering her question. "But don't worry. I'm almost sure he won't completely chicken out. He wouldn't shut up about it yesterday. It would so kill his ego if he did."

"About what?" Astrid asked, slugging the girl on the arm when she made a zipping motion across her lips. "C'mon, Ruff! Tell me!"

Ruffnut nodded behind her, and Astrid turned to see Hiccup slowly walking towards the two of them. "Why don't you ask him?"

She hopped to her feet, jogging to meet the boy halfway. "Hey," she said when she met him.

"H-Hey. Hi. Hi, Astrid," he said. He started off looking at her, but soon his gaze drifted to his hand. The other was held behind his back.

"Where have you been all day?" she asked.

She noticed he was missing? The thought somewhat comforted Hiccup. He fingered the object he was hiding from her view.

"Working on... something."

"On what?"

Hiccup turned red as Astrid gave him a quizzical look. "Wanna, um, take a walk?"

"Sure."

The two walked down into the forest, where Astrid first discovered Toothless. There couldn't really be a better place for this, but Hiccup was afraid his knees would give out any minute, and the words were lodged in his throat.

"Okay, what's up?" Astrid asked, turning to face him. "You've been acting strange all day. Is something wrong?" Was he mad at her?

"N-no! No, not at all," he answered quickly. He opened his mouth to say something, then quickly shut it. "Gods, this is so hard."

"What is?" she asked.

He took a deep breath. "Alright. I-I'm just gonna come out and ask," he stated. He tried to look at her, only to find out that that made matter worse. He looked down at the ground. "I love you."

"And I love you. We've discussed this before."

"R-right. Well... there was, um, something else I wanted to ask you." The girl stayed silent, waiting for him to continue. Practically holding his breath, Hiccup showed her the necklace that he had been holding since he met up with her. "I've been working on it all night," he said quietly as she took it and looked it over.

She whispered, "It's beautiful." And it was. Simple, yes, but beautiful. It was a silver chain, with a sapphire gem in the center. The pretty blue color reminded her of her nadaar. "Where did you get it?" she asked.

"I made it." He still wouldn't look her in the eye. "And now I want to ask you something."

"Okay."

He moved to stand directly in front of her, then grabbed her hand that was not holding the gift. "A-Astrid." She looked him right in the eye, showing him that he had her attention. "Marry me?"

Hiccup was sure that his voice cracked and that his palms were sweating and that he was shaking and probably the color of a tomato, but that didn't stop the girl from giving him the most lovely smile that he had ever, ever seen and throwing her arms around his neck before giving him a long kiss.

"Yes," she whispered. "Yes, yes."

Hiccup grinned at his now-fiance, positive that neither of them had ever been happier.
