A/N: Here's part 2! So, last night while I was lying in bed, I thought up a whole really funny script for this, and then this morning, I get up and go to my computer and caput! I got nothin! XD Isn't that how it always goes?

Ugh, and here's a random little note here. Have you ever experience that weird pulse that goes through your eye from time to time? Ugh, I have it right now and it is driving me CRAZY! XD

Well, hope this is good enough. Love you all thanks for all the requests!

Astrid entered Hiccup's hut, stretching her arms as she yawned. Once done, she slumped there for a moment, her eyes half open and her posture slouched. She really wasn't all that big a fan of mornings.

She stumbled inside, slowly making her way up the stairs. Once she reached the top, she was met by a sleepy looking Night Fury. The two stared at each other for a few moments before Toothless yawned and headed towards his stone slab in the corner. He didn't even bother curling up into a ball, he just plopped down and dropped off to sleep.

Astrid robotically made her way to Hiccup's bed, kicking a stool over in the process. She shoved the stool beside the bed, then slouched down onto it. She was so tired that if someone had sneakily kicked the stool away just as she was sitting down, her butt and the floor would've made a quick introduction. But thankfully, the twins weren't there to fool around, so Astrid was safely seated on the chair.

She yawned again, her fists going up to try and rub the sleepiness from her eyes. She let her hands fall limply into her lap, her eyes going to fix on the peacefully sleeping Haddock on the bed. Hiccup was lying on his back- which Astrid had been puzzled about and had asked Fishlegs why exactly was Hiccup supposed to lie on his injured spine. Fishlegs had explained that it was to give it support, and it was the most comfortable way.

Fishleg's had made Hiccup promise not to move or try to get up. Hiccup had at first not replied- well, not until Astrid threatened to tie him to the bed did he promise. Besides, Hiccup seemed to be having a hard time saying 'no' to her these days, and Astrid was not complaining about that little fact in the least.

Hiccup mumbled something in his sleep, attempting to roll over. Astrid hurried to stand up and hold his arms down, keeping him from moving. Hiccup grumbled about something, his eyes blinking open. He stared up at her, a silly grin starting to spread across his lips.

"Hey." Hiccup said softly.

Astrid rolled her eyes and smiled back. What a dork. "Hi, sleepy."

Hiccup snorted and turned his head towards the window. "Whadyou mean sleepy? The sun's barely up."

Astrid leaned back, letting go of his arms in the process. Hiccup sighed and settled back even more into the bunch of pillows around him. He looked way to comfortable, and it made Astrid smile all the more. Although Hiccup was a workaholic, he could take it easy from time to time. And in this case, he didn't really have a choice. He could barely move without shouting in pain.

"You weren't here all night, were you?" Hiccup asked, concern edging his voice. Astrid smiled and shook her head, leaning her elbows on the edge of the bed, her head in her hands.

"Nope. Toothless had night guard duty."

Hiccup snorted. "I don't need a warden."

Astrid just stared at him doubtfully. "Uh huh."

Hiccup rolled his eyes, letting his gaze fall to the rafters of the ceiling. After a few moments of silence he glanced back at her, smiling again.

"But hey, I don't mind if you're my warden."

Astrid stared at him in surprise. Who was this Hiccup? Did he get a concussion in his fall too? Because this was a whole new side to him she'd never seen before. He was a lot mushier and flirtier then she'd ever realized.

She smiled coyly. "Oh yeah?" She moved her hand from under her chin to teasingly tip-toe her two fingers up his chest. "Well. No kisses for you, buster. You'd probably try and kiss back and hurt your neck."

Hiccup groaned. "Perfect." He muttered sarcastically.

Astrid smiled and leaned back in her chair, stretching again. "Eh, a little suffering will do you good." She stood up and moved towards the stairs. "Want something to eat?"

Hiccup muttered something under his breath again. "Eat? I can't even sit up."

Astrid trotted down the stairs to Hiccup's small kitchen area. "I'll see if I can find you something!" she shouted up to the platform. Hiccup shouted some reply, but it was too quiet for her to hear. So she shrugged it off and went about the kitchen, searching for anything that would be easy for Hiccup to eat. Finally, she found an apple, and decided to chop it up and hopefully Hiccup would be able to sit up and eat it. She really didn't need him choking, especially since she couldn't exactly whack him on the back.

She stepped back up to the loft, carefully holding the tray in her hands. She had also made herself some apples along with cheese for both of them, because she hadn't eaten before she'd left.

"Here." Astrid sat the tray on the bedside table, before dusting her hands together and turning to look back at a scowling Hiccup. She chuckled and placed her arm under his shoulder blades, carefully and slowly pulling him into a sitting position. Hiccup groaned quietly but otherwise made no other indication of pain.

She fluffed up multiple pillows and stuffed them behind his back to help cushion his back. Hiccup squirmed to try and find a comfortable position, finally giving up and just deciding to deal with the dull achiness.

"Alrighty." Astrid grabbed the tray and placed it in his lap. "Don't get used to this, breakfast in bed." She clicked her tongue and shook her head. "You're getting spoiled."

Hiccup smirked at her, then sobered a bit. "I've never actually gotten breakfast in bed before." He admitted.

Astrid paused, an apple mid-way to her mouth. She lowered her hand and stared at her injured friend, noticing how he was easily munching on an apple, not appearing all that disturbed.

"Not even with your leg..?" Astrid asked in disbelief. How had he avoided not getting breakfast in bed? Surely Stoick would've forced Hiccup to remain in bed when his leg was aching or-

"Naw, well. I guess I shouldn't say never gotten food in bed before. I've had supper in bed, since that was when my leg ached the most, but never breakfast in bed. So this is kinda a new thing…" Hiccup's voice trailed off and he grinned at her. "I like this. My first breakfast in bed with you here with me..."

Astrid teasingly swatted his arm, making him try and duck the blow, but with his back there was no escape. She laughed and leaned back in her chair, popping another apple into her mouth.

"You're a flirt, you know that right?" Astrid said with a laugh.

"But you love me for it." Hiccup smirked and began nibbling on some cheese. "And I'll take that as a compliment, m'lady."

"You would."

The two spent the rest of their meal in silence, just taking time to eat and enjoy each other's company. Once they were done Astrid took the tray and empty dishes and carted them down the stairs before returning to Hiccup's bedside, one again taking her place in the chair beside it.

Hiccup squirmed. "I really want to get out of this stupid bed…" he muttered under his breath, his fingers tugging at the edge of the blanket.

Astrid smiled sympathetically. "Sorry. But doctor's rules."

"What doctor?"

Astrid glared at him and he quickly looked away. "Fine, fine…"

Astrid stood up, "I'm going to go check on the others- they should be up by now. Going to tell them what to do." She turned towards the stairs, but paused when she heard the creak of the bed behind her. She whipped around, waving a finger threatingly. "And YOU." Hiccup grimaced "are going to stay in that bed! Got it?"

Hiccup smiled and nodded his head, but it wasn't very comforting. He looked like he was up to something…

Astrid smiled when a threat came to mind. She turned back around to face him slowly, "And if you do try and get up, no kisses for a month."

Hiccup glared at her. "Now that's not fair-"

"Totally fair." Astrid laughed again before turning and rushing down the stairs. She looked back up towards the loft, pausing for a few seconds before nodding her head in satisfaction that Hiccup would indeed stay in his bed.

She stepped outside, blinking against the harsh morning sunlight. After letting her eyes adjust to the light, she continued down the ramps towards the clubhouse where the others were most likely eating breakfast.

She'd thought correct. When she entered the clubhouse door, the other riders were all gathered around the fire pit/table, where they were munching on mutton and fried fish.

"Morning, gang." Astrid greeted, smiling slightly when she realized she'd just copied Hiccup's line.

"Hey, that's Hiccup's line." Snotlout clarified, and she laughed.

"Speaking of Hiccup, how's he doing? Have you checked in on him?" Fishleg's asked. "I was just going to go over and see if he needed help once we were done here-"

"Nope, I went in and got him breakfast. He's doing fine. And a little bit better. He was able to sit up."

Fishlegs nodded, "That's good. I think he should be up and moving around again in a week or two. If he stays in bed he'll be up sooner."

Astrid sighed. "That's what I told him, yet he still seems to think he can get up and walk around. I had to bribe him in order to keep him in his bed while I came here."

"How'd you bribe him? Hiccup isn't bribed easily." Ruffnut asked, gnawing on a piece of fish.

Astrid blushed a light shade of red, her mind jumbling to find an answer- besides the real one. "Um… I-I had to- uh."

"She's stuttering again." Tuffnut noted.

Snotlout smirked and leaned back in his chair, crisscrossing his feet on the table. "She bribed him with a kiss, didn't you?"

Astrid blush darkened, and the others began hooting and chortling in amusement.

"Oh, she totally did!" Ruffnut snorted.

Tuffnut wiped tears from his eyes. "Hahaha!" he continued, "I-ho!-poor Hiccup!"

Astrid glared at them before spinning on her heal and heading right back towards the door. "When you guys are done laughing, you can do patrols. Snotlout." She looked pointedly at him. "You get first shift."

Snotlout didn't even acknowledge what she said, but continued to laugh uncontrollably.

Astrid rolled her eyes. "Oh Thor." She muttered under her breath. She turned and began her trek back to Hiccup's hut, ignoring the sounds of laughter behind her.

She came to Hiccup's door and was just about to crank it open (Hiccup had to make everything so inventive, and Hiccup's door really was cool to open) and just as she did she heard a yelp along with a loud BANG! sound from the loft. Astrid gave a little jump, before her eyes narrowed in suspicion and anger.

"For the love of Thor, Hiccup!" She shouted, tromping her way up the stairs. Once she reached the top, she saw just what she'd expected to see. Hiccup was lying on the ground, pillows scattered across the floor as well as a blanket that was tangled around Hiccup's legs. He looked up at her sheepishly, and she just stood there glaring at him. Toothless stepped up beside her, a very similar look on his face as well.

"Uh, okay, it's not what it looks like…" Hiccup stuttered. "I wasn't getting out of bed… um… the wind… blew me out! Yeah…"

Astrid rolled her eyes before crouching down beside him, grabbing his arm and wrapping it around her shoulder. "You idiot." She scolded angrily. Hiccup winced, but she knew it wasn't form the pain but from the tone of voice she was using.

"Sorry." Hiccup whispered. "I-I… beds and I just don't have a great relationship. I was only stuck in one for weeks after the Red Death…"

Astrid sighed and pushed him into the bed, causing Hiccup to yelp in pain. She bent down and began grabbing pillows from the floor, stuffing them behind and around Hiccup once she was done.

She sat back in her chair with a heavy sigh, then she smirked evilly. "Well. Guess that means NO kisses for you for the next month…"

Hiccup paled slightly, and that only made Astrid smile wider. "What! No!- I mean, you wouldn't! I thought you were joking… I-I…"

Astrid began laughing harder, making Hiccup blush and stutter even more.

"You think this is funny?" Hiccup mumbled in a hurt tone. "So what, you don't like kissing me?"

Astrid ceased her laughing as soon as he said that, hurrying to reassure him. "That's not it, Hiccup! I just threatened you so you would stay in bed. I can't have you hurt…"

Hiccup suddenly began to smirk slowly. "So… you don't want me hurt, huh?"

Astrid shook her head, but then paused, looking back at him. He was plotting something here…

"Well, I'll stay in bed, if you give me a kiss and take back the 'no month without kisses' deal. Huh? How 'bout it?"

Astrid glared at him. "You evil little-"

Hiccup grinned all the more, "flirt?"

Astrid stuttered, trying to find some smart, snarky come-back, but her mind failed her. Finally, she just gave up and smiled back, before leaning forward, her face coming closer and closer to Hiccup. She noticed his eyes were flickering and he was getting that dreamy look on his face. She paused, just centimeters away from his face.

She was about to say something but Hiccup leaned forward quickly and pressed his lips against hers, tossing all thought of teasing him out of her mind. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, and she could've sworn she heard sweet music playing in the background.

That moment could've lasted forever, and she wouldn't have minded at all, but eventually she pulled away so she could catch her breath.

Hiccup was still staring at her dreamily, and she leaned back, giggling at his dorkiness. "You are such a dork." She remarked, ruffling his hair with her hand.

Hiccup lifted a hand and tried to tame his wild hair, grinning at her.

"But you love me for it."

Astrid rolled her eyes, "And that's what makes you a dork…"

I'm sooooo far behind in your guy's requests! I'm SO SORRY! I'm trying to catch up though, so just bear with me and we'll make it! I'm sure of it!

Next chapter everybody. See you then! :D
