What Up!
Crazed Fans!
I am really feeling these one-shots lately and I am so proud of them. I have gotten a few questions on if RTV is over and no it is not over there is still a lot more characters to introduce.
This one-shot is inspired by 2c6c80608fc47cc99447705b32ab6b82/tumblr_inline_ and .
Hiccup and Astrid are 18

The gang were in the arena getting ready for another dragon race.
"Hey Fishlegs, nice target on your face, I will make sure to hit it with a sheep." Snotlout mocked.
"Laugh all you want Snotlout but this is the Ingerman family crest." Fishlegs boasted for once.
"Ooh two circles and a line how fascinating." Snotlout bit back sarcastically.
"Hey guys what do you think about my paint?" Tuffnut turns around to reveal a black and yellow skull.
Fishlegs cringes while Snotlout looks impressed.
"See fish face that is a face paint."
Snotlout high fives Tuffnut while Ruffnut rolls her eyes.
"Hey where is Hiccup and Astrid?" Ruffnut wondered out loud.
As if on cue Hiccup and Astrid race through the doors of the academy.
"Nice of you to finally show up." Snotlout grumbled.
"Sorry guys we lost track of time." Hiccup apologized while dismounting.
"Yeah probably to busy sucking each others faces." Tuffnut teased only to be punched by Ruffnut.
"Well we are leaving to the starting marker and starting with or without you guys." Snotlout declared while mounting Hookfang and flying off.
The rest of the riders left to join him leaving Hiccup and Astrid by themselves.
Astrid grabbed the paint jars that they needed inside the storage room.
Hiccup helped Astrid with her complex yet beautiful design.
Astrid's design truly fits her style. She has two sides of her both equally beautiful.
One side which most people see is her fierce determined side. The other side is her loyal fun loving side which she mostly reserves for Hiccup to see and sometimes the gang.
Both sides never really interfere with each other but compliment each other perfectly and when each side comes to blows Hiccup is always there to balance her out.
The fierce and determined side helps accomplish incredible feats that you wouldn't think a women could do and her loyal fun loving side makes her the perfect partner in crime.
In Hiccup's opinion both sides of Astrid are both equally complex and beautiful that he loves both.
Hiccup finishes up Astrid's face paint. Astrid grabs the red jar to paint Hiccup's face.
Even though Hiccup's face paint seems simple he always lets Astrid pain his face.
Hiccup's face paint design was only four horizontal lines on his cheeks; two on each side.
His design compliments who is perfectly.
The design may look simple on the outside but underneath holds complexity.
Same can be said about Hiccup.
On the outside Hiccup is a carefree adrenaline junkie of sorts. His love of flight and mapping the world usually takes him away from Berk more often than not.
But underneath is a serious determined problem solver.
When he isn't flying on Toothless he is in the Forge trying to make everything and anything better than it already is. Hiccup created the fire prevention system his flight suit and thousands of weapons for other Vikings.
He has been crafting before even when everyone else thought he was a screw up.
Astrid asked him one day when dragon racing was still in the making of trail and error, why he only had such a simple design for his face paint while the rest of the gang had some degree of complexity.
Hiccup answered back with a wistful look on his face that each red horizontal line means something to him.
The top line represented Toothless and below that one was his father. On the other side the top one represented her and the one below was all of his friends and Berk.
Astrid thought about that day while running her thumbs across his cheeks for the final lines.
Hiccup had his eyes closes relishing the feeling.
"There warrior." Astrid smirked while finishing up.
Hiccup breathed out a short laugh.
He opened his eyes back up to see Astrid cupping his chin.
Her other arm rests on his shoulder.
"Good luck." Astrid states before kissing him.
Hiccup kissed back the last couple of seconds with a faint blush graced upon his cheeks.
Before Hiccup stutters out a word she is already on the back of Stormfly.
Hiccup stands there in the middle of the academy stunned but with a prod from Toothless he snaps out of it and mounts Toothless.
He makes it there just in time for the race to begin.
Hiccup takes a glance at Astrid who had a determined glint in her eye.
She made quick eye contact with him and drew on corner of her mouth into a small smile just for him.
Paint time was special, it shows the both sides of the couple and only them could see each others equal and wonderful sides.
