Chapter 34: Truly Happy.
It was one of the best days of his life. Nothing could ruin his mood right now and in this moment, Hiccup was about to take Astrid officially to consummate their marriage. The party lasted until 12pm, 10:30 for children under 18, 9pm for all children under 12. His mother had taken Runa, Viggo, and Thora at 9pm to her house to tuck them in and then she had Cloud Jumper stand guard to get her if there was a problem. Some had left with their kids and didn't return not wanting to leave them alone which was understandable. Currently, Hiccup and Astrid were standing still as their portrait was painted on a shield, their essential wedding photo.
Around 12:30 most everyone had left except their parents, and their friends. Hiccup would admit to himself he was nervous about tonight, making love to Astrid for the first time ever. They'd never reached levels of intimacy this high, not in the 8 months they'd been dating before he proposed. But that was when he was scared of the past repeating itself. Now he was worried he wouldn't be able to satisfy his new wife, the only other woman he'd done it with was Camicazi and received two children, and one adopted. Hiccup knew Astrid's cycle, and knew that this was one night that could land her pregnant. Which made him nervous if she'd be up to such a thing right away.
Also he was nervous to just do it in general, he never dreamed after marrying Cami that things would turn out the way they were right now. With Cami gone, and him remarrying and to his first crush of all people. But Hiccup supposed that things just worked out how they were meant to and this was how it supposed to be but things took an alternate course 8 years ago when he befriended a dragon and got cast out. Hiccup knew this to be true from the Dagur incident that happened 8 month ago when Stoick said that if Hiccup hadn't been cast out there would of been a marriage contract in place for him and Astrid when they were 17 or so.
And shockingly enough, Hiccup did get married at 17 but not to Astrid. So many things had happened, and so fast too. To think and know that 11 months ago he ran in to the people of Berk again because he chose to save them from making a terrible mistake. It was incredible. 11 months ago he was just remembering his former wife after her being gone for 3 years and then the news that Berk had located the queen's nest, that they were planning a full scale attack. And that same day he put the past aside to help the people who cast him from their tribe for being different. Hiccup not only saved them but let Stoick, Gobber, Astrid, Snotlout, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut return with him to Dragon's Edge.
From that moment, everything was changed. Letting them on his island, the one he built and making them believe he was dead, having killed himself after spending a year on Outcast Island and building everything he had there. But one moment where his children were scared to lose their father the same way they lost their mother he decided to throw it all away and take off the mask he'd been wearing since their arrival and as anticipated they immediately recognized him. His hair was longer but still the same auburn color it always had been, maybe a little darker. And his deep green eyes that no one could mistake, what gave it away was the scar on his chin.
Then he went off to fight the queen alone, and was unconscious for a month. Everything just went from there, him waking up, telling everyone his story of the last 8 years, training them on dragons, it was incredible. Here they were 11 months later from all that, almost a year and married and about to make love. He was very nervous but he told himself he'd be just fine because he loved Astrid and that was the Gods honest truth too. Their portrait was done at last.
Their pose had been simple, Hiccup and Astrid beside one another. His sword in his right hand pointed at the ground, his left arm over Astrid's shoulders while her left was around his waist and her right hand held her bouquet. The painter smiled telling them they could finally relax from the position as he was fanning the shield to dry it faster. There had been another portrait painted earlier with them and the kids in it. This picture was of just them and Hiccup couldn't wait to see it. They finally let out the breath they'd been holding and relaxed as the painter turned the stand the shield was on and let them see it. It was perfect. "Excellent job as always, Calick. We'll take it home tomorrow after its dry." Hiccup told him.
"Its my esteemed honor chief and chieftess to be the one to paint your portrait." Calick replied with a bow as he put it off to the side and then left the hall. The only ones left were Stoick, Valka, Alvin, Asta, Snotlout, Gobber, Fishlegs, Ruffnut, and Tuffnut.
"Feels weird to be called a chieftess..."Astrid sighed out happily.
"Get used to it love." Hiccup chuckled kissed her forehead.
"Bout time you two get headed home, isn't it?" Alvin chuckled.
"Indeed it is. See you bright and early." Hiccup replied as he put his sword away then linked his arm to Astrid's smiling as they prepared to head for the door.
"No way chief. You're off duty tomorrow, spend the day with your wife. Our gift to you." Valka said smiling.
"B–but there's a lot to do tomorrow..." Astrid protested.
"And between the lot of us, we can handle it. You two are going to enjoy the rest of your night, then the day tomorrow. Stoick and Alvin can handle the village, Asta and myself will watch the children." Valka lightly chuckled.
"And there will be no arguin about it son. You work hard every day, you can have a day off with your wife." Alvin added.
"Its...really not necessary guys...but thank you." Hiccup nodded his head to them softly.
"Have a good night!" They all called to him.
"Oh we will." Hiccup winked as Astrid blushed deeply while Hiccup led her out of the great hall, once on the steps they merely stepped over the stone and walked across towards Hiccup's house, the house that starting tomorrow would be theirs. Hiccup had Astrid start moving her stuff over 2 weeks ago, and they were slowly putting it away. It took a while since Hiccup had to put away Cami's things which hadn't been touched since she died. It was a little rough for him but Astrid helped him through it. Hiccup went as far as getting a new bed because the memories were consuming him about that being the bed conceived Viggo and Thora, the bed he and Cami made love on for their wedding night and he felt it wouldn't be right to do.
All of Camicazi's belongings were packed away in the storage shed outside the back of the house near the stables for Stormfly and Toothless. No the last two weeks had been pure hell for Hiccup even though he knew it was all leading up to this day, their wedding day when Astrid was officially allowed to live in the house. She could have before since Hiccup didn't care and being chief he made the rules but Astrid was adamant of sticking to tradition where they didn't sleep together in the same bed or make love until they were married. Hiccup respected this of course, it gave him time to put away Cami's things in private. But now, the time had come. Hiccup made it to the wedding, their wedding. They had said their vows in front of about 200 people, they'd had their picture painted, they'd danced, ate, talked, partied until early hours of the morning and now...it was time for them to consummate their marriage by making love to one another for the first time as husband and wife.
Reaching the home, Hiccup opened the door and scooped Astrid in to his arms making her giggle a little. He smiled and shut the door with his foot as he carried her up the stairs to his room, soon to theirs after tonight. He was nervous, very nervous, and the fear from before he proposed was returning to him. But he couldn't let Astrid know that, she'd be heartbroken to know that he was worried he would lose her like he lost Camicazi if he slept with her. Astrid would probably never talk to him again if he revealed that he was afraid to be happy with her by doing this. He had to push it aside, to remember what Stoick and Valka told him the day he decided to propose. That losing Cami wasn't his fault and now that he knew how that happened, he could prevent it from happening a second time.
Now upstairs Hiccup placed Astrid on the bed and crawled over her, the blush on her cheeks was unmistakable and he could tell she was nervous too but not for the same reason as he was. They laid there a few moments staring in to one another's eyes. 'Come on, Hiccup...Don't be a coward. You can do this...' Hiccup tried to tell himself, he was doing it again. Fighting with himself and Astrid noticed the hesitation. But instead of being mad she only smiled gently and raised her hands to his cheeks, stroking them with her fingers. The sudden touch made him snap from his thoughts and look at her.
"Hiccup. You don't have to pretend like you're fine right now because I know those eyes. They are filled with nervousness and worry, with fear. And you don't have to tell me why because I already know what the hesitation is about..." Astrid said lightly. Hiccup gasped a bit, how had she known? It was Astrid, there was no keeping something like this from her. She'd known how hard it was for him to clean out the bedroom of Cami's things, to put them away after so long.
"I'm...sorry, Astrid...I'm so sorry..." He closed his eyes climbing off her and sitting on the edge of the bed. Astrid sat up and got on her knees behind him with her hands on his shoulders.
"Don't apologize, Hiccup. And don't worry because I'm not mad about it. I honestly...expected this. I think I'd be more worried if you didn't get nervous. I know that the last time you ever did something like this, it was with Camicazi. And you haven't done it since, haven't even thought about it. And now that a time has come for it to happen you're scared. I know its why you held off on proposing for so long too. Your kids told me it was because you were scared of the past repeating itself. I don't blame you one bit. But I make you this promise, Hiccup that I won't go anywhere. We're meant to be." Astrid said softly as she laid her head on his right shoulder now smiling.
"How Astrid...How can you know that for sure...Last time...I was this happy...it was taken from me in the blink of an eye. It almost killed me, Astrid...I couldn't deal with the pain and there were few instances I wanted to give up and end my life. I promise you...I can't deal with that pain a second time..." Hiccup sighed closing his eyes. This time Astrid moved off the bed and in front of him, raising his chin so he'd look at her.
"I know because look at where we are now. From where we started...You said it yourself...you had the biggest crush on me while on Berk and I ignored you until you got good in training. Then when you won honor of killing your first dragon in the ring, I noticed you in jealousy. If I hadn't done what I did, if I'd stayed away. You were still going to leave but honestly...after all that, Hiccup...We still made it to this moment in our lives where we're together, married. We made it back to one another. I know you're afraid to lose me like you lost her, and I say this...meaning no disrespect to her or you but...I'm not going anywhere. Anytime you make an announcement...I am there listening. Anytime something is wrong, I can feel it from you and I ask you about it. Anytime I'm unsure, I check with you...I know what you've been through already, and Hiccup...I know what steps to take to make sure it doesn't happen again...you know them too. Its why you're being cautious." Astrid said lightly.
"I know...my parents told me the same thing on Berk the day we went with the kids...I told them how afraid I was of proposing. I just...I am beyond happy, Astrid. I really am and I do love you with my everything but this fear...I can't...shake it...and I'm sorry because its affecting the amazing night we're supposed to be having together...I'm a failure at being a husband...I wasn't there to save one wife...and now this..." Hiccup hated himself right now, a feeling he never wanted to feel again.
"Hiccup Holgerson-Haddock don't you ever say that again! You couldn't have stopped it, no matter what you say or do, or even think. You didn't know she was blown off course...she didn't know she wasn't supposed to travel farther than 5 miles off the island. You couldn't have stopped the queen then, you were unprepared for it. What would of happened, if you found her there...you both could of been killed...and those kids wouldn't have you, Cami, or even Runa right now...But you're still here, Hiccup...still alive and that means something. You couldn't control the wind, or what happened. You have to stop beating yourself up over it...nothing will ever take you back in time to change it...You're not a failure as a man, a father, a chief...or even a husband. You do everything you can to protect these people. And that day...you did all you could for Camicazi..." Astrid stared in to his eyes.
"Hiccup...listen to me carefully okay? There was nothing you could have done to stop what happened because you didn't know. Just like she didn't know...you both had no idea what would happen that day. Even with your bad feeling, you did what you could and something still happened. There is no blame and Camicazi told you that, she wants you to be happy. You don't have to be afraid anymore, Hiccup. What happened then, won't happen now. We all take precautions to avoid it...and you beat the Red Death on top of it all. What you're doing...is holding a grudge...not against anyone other than yourself. You have to let it go, Hiccup. Its tearing you apart, and its only going to get worse. Let the past go, let the fear go. Stop letting it control you and decide your life for you. Its okay to be scared, it makes us human. But being scared and letting it control you are different things...You weren't scared when you fought the red death, or when you revealed who you were to us, weren't scared when you were cast out...but this...is controlling you. Its like the Red Death is still alive to only you...and you're afraid of her doing it over again." Astrid said lightly to him.
"You're right...And I'm coward for all this...You deserve much better..." Hiccup sighed.
"Hey, if I wanted someone else, I wouldn't be here right now. I don't want better, I want you. You're who I love, and who I want to be with so this is where I'm staying. Hiccup the Red Death...is dead. You gave her death, you killed her and saved hundreds of lives both dragon and human. And you did it alone. Stop letting her control you, Hiccup. She's gone, the fear is gone. Let it go...she's only as alive as you make her to be. She's telling you not to be happy, fight back. Be happy, do what Camicazi wanted you to do. That queen took Cami from you, don't listen to her anymore. Fight back. Fight for your life, Hiccup." Astrid told him firmly. "Go on. Say it. 'I'm not afraid of you. This is my life. You can't hurt me or my family. You can't control me anymore.' Say it Hiccup." Astrid ordered.
"I'm not afraid of you. This is my life. You can't hurt me or my family. You can't control me anymore..." Hiccup repeated.
"Again. Louder." Astrid smiled.
"I'm not afraid of you. This is my life. You can't hurt me or my family. You can't control me anymore." Hiccup said louder and firmer.
"I can't hear you. Say it with that chiefly confidence when you make announcements, when you told the members of our tribe that you'd defeat her and she couldn't take any of you down. Say it with power because you have the power, not her! Shout it out like it's a damn battle cry!" Astrid ordered.
Hiccup stood up now with a determined look on his face, he balled his hands to fists and stared up out at the sky window in the room, "I'm not afraid of you! This is my life! You can't hurt me or my family! You can't control me anymore!" Hiccup yelled out panting heavily now, he smiled. It worked, he didn't have anymore fear. It was gone, not even a smidgen of it remained. Hiccup pulled Astrid in to his arms and kissed her deeply.
"Feel better?" Astrid asked with a giggle.
"You have no idea..." He grinned as his hand found the one string on the back of the dress holding it on and pulled it loose, Astrid's blush darkened as she felt the dress become loose from her body and began to slip off. "I love you, Astrid..." Hiccup whispered softly.
"I love you too, Hiccup." Astrid replied before Hiccup pulled her in for another deep, passionate kiss.
/Lemon Start/
Hiccup leaned into her touch, his eyes fluttering closed. Astrid leaned in and delicately kissed him, her lips just brushing his like a butterfly setting down on a flower. Hiccup pressed in, his tongue rasping hot and wet against the seam of her lips. Astrid welcomed him inside, tasting him. His hands slipped into her hair, around her back, and pulled her closer.
Her fingers touched along the muscles of his slender frame. Hiccup first removed her headband, the kransen which would be put away for their daughter since its always intended to go to the next daughter for marriage but since Runa and Thora weren't their blood children, it went against the laws for them to give it to Runa who would in fact be the oldest but she was neither a blood child of Hiccup or Astrid being adopted. It could go to Thora but she wasn't Astrid's blood child and already had one that Camicazi gave her when she and Hiccup were married and had given birth. It was odd but Hiccup had to give her Cami's headband when Thora was a mere year old.
Astrid's hands were resting on Hiccup's chest plate as she was beginning to undo his clothing now. She first untied the strings holding his fur cloak to his tunic, once loose it fell to their feet. Astrid continued to kiss him deeply as she worked off his arm guards, then chest armor. Astrid un-clipped his belt then broke the kiss to slide his tunic over his head. Her dress was already off as it had come loose and fallen off his wife's slim frame earlier. Now they were both on the bed with him over her body. All that was left of her was her breast bindings and underwear. He deftly unwrapped her chest and set aside the bindings. Her breasts were warm and soft against his palms as he cupped them and stroked his thumbs over her nipples. Hiccup trembled beneath her soft caress and kissed her just a little harder.
It didn't take long for Hiccup to kiss down her neck making her shudder with pleasure, and then taking his kisses just to the dip between her breasts. Hiccup began to slowly massage them, Astrid arched with a moan now, clearly showing she liked the feeling. Hiccup continued it before moving to the side a bit and placing a kiss on the nipple of her right breast. Astrid gasped slightly arching again. Hiccup then lowered his mouth over it completely and began to run his tongue around it slowly. His other hand continued to massage the left breasts while his mouth pleasure the right. Hiccup licked and sucked it with a little force seeing Astrid like it. He switched after 10 minutes and now gave the left breasts the same attention the right had gotten.
"A–ah...Hiccup..." Astrid moaned lightly. Hiccup watched her facial expressions while licking around the nipple and then lightly sucking on it, his other hand rolling the with his thumb causing Astrid to moan out louder. Once Hiccup had finished he moved back up to kissing lips deeply again, their tongues in a battle with one another. She was already wet for him, desperate for more of his touch, but didn't push him. After a long moment of teasing touches at her waist and thighs, Hiccup deepened the kisses as he stayed over her. Astrid could feel his length beginning to poke her inner thigh, she blushed a dark crimson color as she stared in to his eyes. Breaking the kiss now they both panted to catch their breath, he stared in to her blue eyes deeply stroking his hand over her face to move a few pieces of hair. "Are you nervous?" Astrid felt necessary to ask him softly.
"Not anymore, thanks to you babe...Are you?" Hiccup asked her softly.
"A...l-little...Never...done this before...So be careful with me..." Astrid asked softly.
"Ssh..." He soothed kissing her forehead before he finally slipped his hand between her legs. She moaned and rocked against him. He stroked her tiny pearl through her underwear.
Moaning quietly, everything felt amazing and Gods had Hiccup longed to feel this way again. Hiccup broke their kiss just long enough to strip off her husband's pants, then he removed her final piece of clothing. Now both naked, she wrapped her arms around him and little fireworks exploded wherever their skin touched. Hiccup kissed her again, his tongue snaking into her mouth to taste her. He stroked the soaking folds of her sex and she gripped his length, rubbing the sensitive underside and head of him. This brought forward a groan of pleasure from his lips while they kissed. Astrid had the softest hands he'd ever felt, it was an incredible feeling. It didn't take long for him to slip in a single finger and thrust it in and out slowly, it made Astrid arch a little in surprise. Astrid gasped out, her walls tightening around the finger for a moment but she held firm and spread her legs a little more for him. "Feel good?" Hiccup decided to ask.
"Oh Gods yes...I want more...I want to feel everything..." She pleaded softly. Hiccup smiled as he slid in a second finger and kept up his ministrations to finger her. She bit her lip but it didn't help, her moaning only became louder with erratic breathing from the pleasure he gave her. Astrid realized her hand was still holding his length, she'd never done this before but what could it hurt to try? She lightly began to stroke it up and down.
"Gah...Astrid..." He moaned now continuing to finger her with his two fingers while bringing his lips crashing on to hers once more, deepening their kiss. Judging by his moans, Astrid could tell she was making him feel as good as she was. He growled lustfully almost moving his lips to her ears and carefully nipped at it. "Le–let it go..." He instructed, Astrid smiled as she released his cock from her hold now watching as Hiccup kissed her once before sliding down her body with a trail of kisses, as he neared her very sensitive area he withdrew his fingers from her core slowly getting a whimper from his beloved wife. Hiccup placed himself between her legs and pushed them apart to give himself more room to reach her, once there he used his thumbs to spread her womanhood lips apart and place a soft kiss on her soft, pink nub. Astrid jolted with pleasure and a loud moan, a sign for Hiccup to keep going.
Hiccup soon smiled as he ran his tongue between the folds, licking up and down her already wet area, his tongue teased her core's entrance and circled around her sensitive nub. Astrid's moans only increases in loudness as she was starting to pant from how good it felt. Hiccup lightly sucked the nub as he slid his two fingers back inside her, Astrid arched her back moaning loudly now as her hands found the bed to grip on to as Hiccup kept going. "Hiccup!...Oh Thor...Yes...!" Astrid pleaded for more as Hiccup began to pump his fingers in to her faster and harder as his eyes glanced upward to see her face. Being it was only their first time, it didn't take long for Astrid to reach her peak of pleasure. Feeling her tighten around his fingers while panting loudly was the only indicator he needed to know she was about to finish. "Hiccup...I–I'll cum..." She warned breathing heavily.
"That's entirely the point love...Cum for me...Don't hold back." He insisted, Astrid's walls clenched around his fingers again as she arched her back and released, her pussy juices squirting from her core coating his hand, he smiled and withdrew his fingers from her contracting core with each breath she took. Hiccup smiled as he licked his fingers, "Gods you taste good, Astrid..." Hiccup stared at her seeing her face redden with embarrassment. Hiccup crawled over her again now and kissed her lovingly. "Are you ready?" Hiccup asked her gently.
Astrid's hands were around his neck, and his arms were on either side of her, both were panting slightly as she nodded to him to continue. Hiccup held himself up with one arm while his other hand reached down to his throbbing length and position himself at her wet, hot core. "Y–you're mom and my mom told me this is going to hurt no matter what you do...and said to tell you to just make it fast, then...gi–give me time to adjust..." Astrid said meekly.
"I know...I have kids babe, I been through this already...All I need you to do is focus and kiss me..." Hiccup said gently. Astrid nodded as she moved her lips up to kiss his, once locked in the kiss Hiccup parted her folds and the head of his member bumped her core. Quickly and without warning, he pushed inside. Astrid groaned, her eyes snapping open and her head lifting up then whipping back, as he filled her. He went still for a moment, letting her adjust to the unfamiliar intrusion, before he began to move. His strokes were slow and purposeful, just to give her the feeling. He knew he'd hurt her, that much he could tell but going in slow would have hurt a lot more, at least this way she could feel it all at once and then enjoy the pleasure.
Astrid stroked his shoulders, his back, his hair, and kissed him as he moved. "Gods this...feels so good..." She moaned between their kisses. She felt his thrusts become faster, and harder. Words couldn't describe how much she loved him, nor could they ever hope to touch the surface of what Hiccup felt for her. She was his light, his sanctuary, and he loved her to death. Astrid's breath came in short little gasps as the pleasure built inside her. Hiccup used his knees and moved his hand down stroking her small pink pearl, bringing her to the peak as he thrust a little deeper and faster. Astrid clung to him, wrapping her legs around his waist, breathing hot against his ear. Hiccup moaned very softly. He pinched her pearl and rolled it between his fingers. "Gods yes...Faster...Please!..." Astrid moaned to him. Hiccup began to pick up speed with his thrusts in to her, he panted lightly as sweat beads began to form on his face, he groaned at the pleasure.
"Ah...yes! Just like that, Hiccup...don't stop..." Astrid begged him as she pulled him down on to her and ran her fingers across his back. Hiccup grunted at the feeling of her nails raking across his back.
"Oh Astrid..." Hiccup moaned now beginning to strengthen his thrusts to be harder in to her. "You're so beautiful...I love you." Hiccup breathed to her as he captured her lips with his own keeping his thrusts even in speed and force.
"Hiccup!..More!" Astrid pleaded to him loudly through her moaning. Neither of them were going to hold out much longer, he was already nearing his climax and Astrid was too, he could feel it by how tight her walls were gripping around his length. He spread her legs with his hands and began to thrusts harder and faster, going deeper now. Astrid arched her back slightly as her head threw back on to the pillow, her hands reached up to grip the headboard of the bed to holding herself in place almost. Her nails dragged across the wood leaving marks on it.
"Astrid..." He moaned grunting at the pleasure he felt being inside of her core, her walls tightening around him with each powerful thrust he delivered to her.
"Oh Odin yes...Don't stop...!" Astrid demanded him now. Hiccup only thrust in to her harder now, Astrid gasped out loudly, practically screaming in pleasure. "Hiccup...I–I'm going to cum...Oh god...Hiccup..." Astrid panted in her moaning.
"Me too, Astrid...Cum with me...!" Hiccup moaned now as he leaned over back over her still thrusting.
"I'm cumming!...HICCUP!" Astrid yelled out at the same time that Hiccup yelled out her name, "ASTRID!" Both came at the same time. With a soft cry, the walls of Astrid's core rippled and clenched around him. Astrid's juices exploded from her womanhood as Hiccup's coated the walls of her core in a white, sticky substance. Hiccup buried his face against her neck, breathing shakily and choking off his moan as he came.
They didn't move, their bodies sleek with sweat now, both panting hard to catch their breath from what they both just felt. Hiccup lifted his head a bit as he stared in to Astrid's eyes lovingly and kissed her deeply. She smiled softly at him as they shared another soft kiss, then both panting he laid against her body, his cock still buried inside her core. Astrid cradled him against her. She tangled her fingers through his hair, stroked the length of his back, Hiccup remained inside her until he was soft. Then, he pulled out carefully, fumbled through the dark, and found a wet towel.
/Lemon End/
Hiccup cleaned himself off and threw on his underwear, Astrid took the towel when he was done and cleaned herself before throwing on his tunic from the floor. Who cared, they had all tomorrow to themselves. And they already knew they'd be spending it laying in bed or putting more of Astrid's things away in the house. Hiccup crawled back in to the bed and pulled the covers up over their semi naked bodies, then kissed her cheek after wrapping his arms around her. After a few minutes Astrid turned in his arms and Hiccup laid on his back as Astrid laid on his shoulder contently with a yawn.
"Astrid...Thank you...not just for marrying me but for all the support, and love you've given me since you came back in to my life...I think...no. I know I'd be very lost without you. You made it so I can be happy again. Truly happy." Hiccup whispered out, "I love you so much." He added kissing her forehead.
"I love you too, Hiccup...And I will forever and always." Astrid replied tiredly. After that, it didn't take long for both of them be fall fast asleep in each other's arms. Nothing could of made this night better to them and now they had the rest of their lives together.
