I don't own HTTYD. This = Love belongs to the Script.
How To Be A Viking Chapter 25- Weddings and Boats
Astrid sighed happily as the only person left in her home were her parents and Angel.
"That was horrible." She said to no-one in particular, referring to the ritual bath she had just been put through.
"I'm so glad we don't do that where I'm from." Angel chuckled, having seen the look on Astrid's face as she clambered, yes clambered, into the bath.
"Whatever, just lace me up." Astrid had been getting dressed.
"You dress fast." The red-haired girl commented as she grabbed the two pieces of string on Astrid's back.
It was easy, like lacing trainers, but Astrid didn't know what trainers were so Angel didn't say anything. "There you are." She said when she had finished. "Want me to do your hair?"
"Please."
Angel stood back for a second, thinking about how to style the blonde hair in front of her. Ruffnut had had lots of braids across her head, so that couldn't be done.
"Are you just going to stand there?" Astrid demanded.
"I don't know what to do!" Angel panicked. "Do you have to have it up?"
"Yes!"
"Why?" Angel whined.
"You're acting like a child." Astrid said.
"I am a child. A child who's stressing out."
Angel walked over to the bag she had brought with her. She pulled out an elastic band, clip with a bejewelled butterfly on top and her tiara.
"Is that yours?" Astrid asked when she saw the miniature crown and Angel nodded.
"Look after it, or I'll kill you."
Astrid shook her head. "With all the partying that goes on here, I can't guarantee that, but I'll try."
"All anyone can ever do is try." Angel said smiling. But father never tried to help. "Anyway..."
Angel began to pull Astrid's hair back while talking and tied it with the band. She then wrapped it round and pushed the clip in. "Turn." Astrid did. Gently, Angel pushed the the comb part behind the paler girl's ears.
"Perfect."
"Thanks." Astrid blushed.
"Astrid?" The older blonde called through. "Are you ready?"
"Yeah!" She shouted and then quieted down to talk to Angel. "You?"
Angel looked down at the yellow, shiny dress she was wearing. "Sure."
(.)
"I never want to experience that ever again." Hiccup said, dressed in formal wear and looking at his reflection.
"I hated it." Snotlout said.
"That's why, when me and Angel get married we're getting married on her sunny, modernised island."
The other two boys stared at him.
"What was that word beginning with 'M'?" Hiccup asked.
"Oh, 'modernised. Angel says Paradisia is 'modernised'."
Snotlout just blinked at the blonde young man, Hiccup looked at his cousin out of the corner of his eye. Everything was quiet for a while.
"You and Angel are getting married?" Snotlout said to Tuffnut.
"Uh, Yeah...No. I mean, I want to, but. Angel has to be,um, queen if she gets married so, I dunno." He said quickly.
"It'll be amazing to go there," Hiccup said quietly. "Imagine all the things they've invented."
"I bet your girl has gold." Snotlout grinned.
Tuffnut shook his head. "Don't we have to be at the church before them?" He asked Hiccup.
"Um, yeah."
The three boys left the house and walk (quickly) over to the Hall. The elders were in there and a few guests, but the wedding of the future chief meant they everyone would be there. Angel came up behind them with a "Hey." to announce herself. The boys said hello, Snotlout elbowed Hiccup and pointed to Tuffnut, who seemed to be struggling to keep his eyes of Angel's face and they kept flickering downwards. Hiccup put a hand over his face to stop him from laughing out loud.
"Where's Astrid?" Hiccup asked when he composed himself.
"In a very small room." Angel replied. "What are we waiting for?" She then said, holding Tuffnut's hand and walking in.
Hiccup stood at the altar awkwardly as guests began to filter in. He looked at the front bench to the left that his friends had stolen, Ruffnut now sat at the end next to Snotlout. Angel smiled reassuringly at him.
The doors slammed shut, Hiccup turned a little. Astrid was at the back of the Hall, looking down slightly, father by her side. Slowly, as the music played, they walked down. Hiccup could feel his heart racing and palms sweating. After about two minutes Astrid was stood beside Hiccup, a slight blush tinting her cheeks.
"You look amazing." He whispered out of the corner of his mouth, after gaining the courage.
"Thanks, you two." His soon-to-be-wife replied.
The elder began to speak, the traditional "Care for each other." and then tales about the Gods. When the time came, they kissed gently.
"Hello, wife." Hiccup said.
"Ugh, don't say that, it sounds like I have to do work." Astrid said, making Hiccup laugh.
"Where did you get that crown form?" He asked.
"Oh it's Angel's I have to give it back." She said, scurrying off.
Astrid found Angel with her friends.
"This is yours." She said, indicating to the tiara.
"Can you keep it for now please, I'm going on in a minute," Astrid nodded at her. "By the way, I'm changing songs."
"Uh, that's fine, I guess."
Angel smiled. "Go get to your husband and have fun."
When Astrid made it back to Hiccup she heard Angel behind her.
"Hello everyone. We're back!" Andy whooped and Angel laughed. "Today, we've got 'This is Love'."
It's in eyes of the children I'm standing under a white flag, oh
As they leave for the very first time
And it's in the heart of a soldier
As he takes a bullet on the front line
It's in the face of the mother
As she takes the force of the blow
And it's in the hands of the father, yeah
As he works his fingers to the bone, yeah
Can you see me, oh
Can you see me, ooh
I'm standing for everything we have, oh
Can you hear me, oh
Can you hear me
This is why we do it, this is worth the pain
This is why we fall down, and get back up again
This is where the heart lies, this is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it, love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down, and get back up again
Love is where the heart lies, love is from above
Love is this, this is love
This is love
This is love
This is love
It's in the soul of the city
What it does after it crumbles and burns
And it's in the blood of a hero
To know where he goes he may never return, hey
I'm standing under a white flag, oh
Can you see me, oh
Can you see me, ooh
I'm standing for everything we have, oh
Can you hear me, oh
Can you hear me
This is why we do it, this is worth the pain
This is why we fall down, and get back up again
This is where the heart lies, this is from above
Love is this, this is love
Love is why we do it, love is worth the pain
Love is why we fall down, and get back up again
Love is where the heart lies, love is from above
Love is this, this is love
This is lovee
Angel stopped signing after stretching the last note out. "Thanks." Her and the band walked off stage, Astrid dragging Hiccup towards them.
"That was amazing." Astrid said to her.
"We get that a lot." Graham said from behind Angel like it was nothing. Angel elbowed him.
"We do," Angel agreed. "But that doesn't mean we don't appreciate your comment."
Hiccup laughed, Astrid loving the sound.
"Consummation next." Angel smirked.
Abruptly, Hiccup stopped laughing, Astrid frowned. She didn't want to do that, not that there was anything wrong with Hiccup, he was perfect. It was the fact that people watched them.
"Well, I'm going to talk to guests before the most embarrassing moment of my life." Hiccup droned before leaving their group.
"Hmm, I'll have to do the same." Astrid said after a moment, turning and waving at Angel over her shoulder.
… …
Astrid opened her eyes blearily the next morning to see Hiccup's sleeping face. The night before came flooding back, it was... wow. But it was also horrible, she did that in front of the chief.
After kissing Hiccup's forehead, making him sigh, she got up and ready. She was going to live in his house now, now they were married, in the upstairs now Hiccup could get up there again.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Astrid watching Hiccup sleep, smiling gently at him as he woke up. He smiled back mumbling something incoherent. Astrid just laughed at him. Then she stopped.
"We're going soon." She said.
"Going where?" Hiccup asked.
"Paradisia." Astrid replied simply and quietly.
Hiccup nodded, getting out of bed and making breakfast. They ate in silence but kept sneaking looks at each other.
"Isn't Angel's brother fixing their boats today?" Astrid asked.
"Uh, I think so."
"Do you want to see?"
"Why not."
(.)
Angel sat on the edge of the wooden jetty, watching her brother, Tuffnut, Gray and Andy wade in the water to check if the sides of the boats were okay. Angel began to think if those 'sides' had a name, they probably did as most things do.
Angel snapped out of her thoughts as she heard a splash and then some laughs, and looked up to see Tuffnut's shirt wet... and clinging to his chest. She could feel her face getting warm as she looked at his sculpted figure, his chest his abs, his shoulders, his biceps. How come she hadn't noticed that before?
"Hey Angel! You okay?" Tuffnut shouted.
"Yeah, I'm fine!" She shouted back, pulling her eyes up to his face.
"When should we go back?" Her brother said to all of them.
Angel blinked a few times. When should they go to Paradisia? "Next week." She said out loud without meaning too.
"Next week what?" Said Hiccup behind her.
"Go to our place!" Andy shouted over.
"The boat is fine!" Gray then shouted.
Astrid laughed. "I have a feeling you already knew that." Angel nodded at her.
(.)
Oh My Gosh. I think that was the quickest yet hardest to write. So soon we're going to Paradisia! * Happy fangirl scream *
