Chapter 25

Heather report part III

-Lord Nightwing! Lend me a hand here will ya?' Stoick shouted sarcastically and waved for his son to get over.

The big viking huffed in exhaustion as he dragged the big wooden bedframe up the hill.

Hiccup ran down to him and grabbed the back end of it and lifted with all his strength.

-Why did you have to build the house so far from the village, and on a hill too!' his father complained.

-Cause this was the best spot for one, and it got a nice view and everything. And why do you have to call me that?

-Call you what, my lord?' he said teasingly.

-Shut up dad. See this positively, with such a wonderful home we will never have to do this again, and since the dragons no longer are burning the place every two weeks, *choke* thanks to me *choke* this will last even longer.

Stoick was not the person who usually complained over heavy lifting, but with a hammering hangover even he got a little grumpy and weak.

There were a steady stream of villagers walking up the hill to the newly built house, all carrying furniture, Astrid stood at the entrance and directed the people where they should put the objects, even if she weren't the typical woman she now looked like she had always been tidy and had an eye for design. She, nor Hiccup had ever entered the house till now but she already had an excellent plan of how everything was supposed to look, and Hiccup was okay with that.

When Stoick and Hiccup finally reached the house she smiled deviously at them, she pointed at the open door and up the stairs that was located right inside.

-Up the stairs, the big room to the left, against the left wall up against the window.

Both Hiccup and Stoick sighed in resignation.

Astrid giggled and kissed Hiccup quickly on the cheek as he passed her, then she rushed of to help her parents to put down the heavy chairs in the living room.

The two Vikings sighed heavily as the put the down the bed where they had been ordered, they leaned over it to find rest.

-Whooo… Glad tha'd is over.' Stoick said and covered his forehead with his palm.

They heard Astrid yell from downstairs. -Haddock! Get down here, we're not done yet!

Both of them sighed and slowly walked down again. Astrid smiled evilly and pointed at the end of the hill at an enormous table.

-Aw come on! That thing is the size of a ship! Who even built a table that size? Can't you make silent Sven and Spitlout take that one?' Hiccup whined.

-Haha, nope! You're halfly chief now, you can't force your people to do all the heavy work, love.

Stoick nodded at him. –That's the way it works son, sorry.

-But look at me, I'm a freaking toothpick…

Astrid wrapped her arms around his chest and rested her head on his shoulder.

-Doesn't matter, your chief-ish…

-Don't you know who I am?' he shouted jokingly.

-I'm the mighty…'

-Lord Nightwing!' Erik's voice was heard from the bottom of the hill.

-Exactly.' He whispered and nodded at Astrid.

-Yes, Chief Erik?

-A ship recently docked at the harbor, the crew asked for the newlyweds.

Hiccup smiled happily, he took Astrid's hand in his and started walking down the path.

-Sorry dad, you can carry some of the boxes to pass the time, you know, duty before entertainment.' He said and hurried before his father could protest.

Erik waited for them at the end of the hill, his arms crossed and a happy smile on his lips.

-You don't look very worn, friend. You didn't hit the mead as hard as everyone else?' Hiccup asked and smiled.

-Oh I sure did! Drank the other chiefs under the table, ask your dad. They don't withstand much…

Hiccup's eyes widened, Stoick was known for being very tolerant when it came to alcohol, and if this man had drank him under the table and still could stand up… damn…

-So, what clan did the ship belong to? And did the captain introduce himself?

-It was actually a she, beautiful girl that one, black hair and slender body.' He moved his hands in the air in the shape of a woman's body.

-Huh, wonder who that can be.' He said and furrowed his brow.

-I did not recognize the sails, so I have no idea what clan it belongs to.

They walked the rest of the road in silence, when they reached the long wooden path down to the docks Hiccup immediately recognized the ship, and his heart skipped a beat.

Astrid did to, but instead of happiness her previously good mood was as blown away with the wind. Hiccup fastened his steps and almost jogged down the steep ramp.

As he reached the pier where the ship lay anchored a black haired figure jumped over board and came running towards him, she jumped the last meter right into Hiccup's open embrace.

-Heather! What are you doing here!?' he shouted happily.

Heather broke the hug and swiftly kissed him on the cheek.

-Hey Hiccup! As fast as I heard you were getting married I ordered a ship to sail here, unfortunately the messenger was delayed, so we missed the party.

Astrid saw it all going down, how she hugged him tightly and…Kissed him! That bitch!

Astrid slowly descended to the bottom of the ramp and walked up to stand beside Hiccup, she took his hand and pulled him down to the level of her head and kissed him viciously, she broke the kiss after some seconds and looked at Heather with a neutral expression.

-Good day, Heather.' She spat out.

-I'm happy to see you too Astrid…' Heather said with a sour look on her face, she turned to Hiccup again.

-So, Hiccup! You got to fill me in on everything that have happened here since last time. I have really missed Berk and the gang.

Heather took Hiccup arm in hers and nodded her head towards the village. Hiccup started to turn around and Astrid loosened her grip of his hand as his fingers carefully slid away from her hand, like he didn't even notice she had been there at all.

She stood still, her fists closed so hard her knuckles turned white and her mouth was twisted in a pisst-off grimace.

Erik took place beside her.

-Oh, you don't like that one eyh?

-Shut the fuck up Erik… I'll kill that bitch.

The insult slipped of Erik like water on a goose, he shrugged and started walking after Hiccup and Heather.

Astrid felt how her face turned red, she pulled her shoulder up to the height of her ears and started walking her too.

"She just wanted me to come here so she could piss me off, HOW dare she! She fucking KISSED him. And how can he be so easily over won? No, don't let this run out over Hiccup, he only sees her like a friend, but she will keep those disgusting lips away from MY property!"

Astrid hurried her steps, she walked past Erik who clearly was checking out Heathers butt, she tackled him lightly and walked up to Hiccup's free arm. She shoved her arm in under his and intertwined their fingers.

-Gees Astrid, why so rough all of sudden?' he said surprised.

Astrid stared at him like he was dragon-dung-stupid.

-What?' he said with an innocent voice.

They took a short tour through the village, Hiccup talked about all the changes that had been made, like the pens, restorations of the great hall and the forge. He spoke about the party and whenever he wanted Astrid to fill something in she gave him a sour look and squeezed his hand in a minor painful way.

When they were close to the hill where their house was built and still being furnished Astrid jerked Hiccup's arm, disturbing him in his story about the Berserker war.

-Look Hiccup, the table is still standing there, and I'm sure they have messed up the house too, let's get it done.

-But Astrid, Heather's here, can't the house wait?

-The table… now…

-Okay, okay. Don't be so drastic. Erik, could you please help Heather to some food at the great hall? We'll meet up later.

Erik nodded and held out his arm for Heather to take.

-Well, see you later Hiccup and… Astrid.' She said and turned around to Erik and walked off.

Hiccup smiled and turned around to Astrid, his smile fell immediately.

-Astrid, what the heck? What have flown into you?

-What the heck ME!? She turns up and in a second you're her dog! You don't do that to a newly married man!

-For the first, I'm no one's dog, for the second, what in the name of Oden did she do?

-She freaking kissed you! Didn't you notice, or were you too caught up by her body pressed against yours?

-Her what…? Astrid what do you think of me? I married you yesterday, and you think I'm running after others the very next day?

-The table Hiccup. Get rid of that damned table…

Hiccup sighed, he waved for two men to help him out with the enormous table and they slowly started to descend to the top of the hill.

Astrid crossed her arms over her chest and watched her husband carry the heavy furniture. The corners of her mouth was pointing downwards. She blew her bangs away from her face irritated.

"She will get for daring to turn up here" she thought to herself.
