Cuddle Puddle
"Romantic walk in the rain, Milady?"
Astrid chuckled as she took Hiccup's hand in hers, swinging them to and fro as she allowed him to lead her down the street. The rain was light, an almost haze, but enough to chill the air and dampen the ground. Hiccup somehow got the idea in his head that rain held a romantic power, to which she playfully agreed.
"Bringing me home or are we eating at your house tonight?"
Hiccup tilted his head. "Would you like to come to mine? We've hardly seen each other at all this week."
Astrid smiled, more than willing to spend a comfortable evening by the fire beside him, listening to Stoick talk about business as usual. Normally, Stoick went to bed early, leaving the two lovebirds to themselves for another hour or so before Hiccup walked her home.
"Winter's on the way." Hiccup said randomly. Glancing at him, she noticed his eyes were fixed skywards, watching the clouds carefully.
"It always is."
"I'm ready for some more sledding." Hiccup wiggled his eyebrows while Astrid blushed at the thought. The memory was from many years ago, but somehow, it made her flustered every time. How young and innocent they were.
"And that means Snoggletog! Speaking of which-" Hiccup cleared his throat, hand tightening around hers. "You want something special?"
Every year, she asked for an axe. And every year he and she made yaknog (the right way). But, truth be told, her collection of weaponry had grown to an outstanding level.
This year, for whatever reason, she wanted something… something Hiccup thought she'd like.
"No. I… I want to be surprised."
Hiccup grinned hesitantly. "I could surprise you with a flight suit-"
Astrid punched his shoulder lightly at the tease. "Besides that."
Laughing, Hiccup let go of her hand and instead grabbed her by the waist, pulling her closer. Huddling against the misty rain he led her up the steps to the chief's hut.
"And what would you like, gallant sir?" Astrid asked as she entered the room. Hiccup laughed as he took her coat and hung it on the peg near the door.
"You surprise me?"
With a hum, Astrid flopped onto the chair besides the cackling fire, where she watched as Hiccup began banging about in the kitchen for the makings of a meal. She would love to help, but she knew Hiccup preferred eating real food to food poisoning, so she stayed out of his way. He made the meal, she helped eat it, then they both did the dishes.
She dazed off as she watched him work, cutting up veggies and mincing meat into a sizzling pan over the kitchen fireplace. She watched in fascination, loving him even more for doing all this for them.
"Is this how it'll be once we're married?" She said quietly, out of the blue, but not at all embarrassed by it.
Hiccup was obviously startled, for his head snapped up and his eyes were wide in frantic disbelief. Astrid bit her lip in concerns that he'd cut himself with the knife and carrot in his hands, but it was like he stopped working. He froze in position, until silence fell a few moments longer. That's when his hands moved in those distracted gestures he always did when he was flustered, animating his movements.
"I…. I… I don't know?" He laughed shakily.
Astrid got to her feet and went to hug him from behind, arms snaking around his waist as she rested her head in the crook of his shoulder blades. "I'm sorry I said that- awm… I was just…"
"No." Hiccup laughed lightly. Turning his head he kissed here cheek quickly. "We are betrothed after all. I just… marriage always seemed like it was in the future. It just took me a second to realize that… this is the future…"
Astrid smiled softly. "I'm sorry."
"Don't be, silly." Hiccup smiled lopsidedly. "We'll be there someday, and I bet I'll be right here in this kitchen making breakfast each morning." His cheeks flushed a gentle shade of red at that statement, as did hers.
She leaned forward, kissing him behind the ear.
"I can't wait."
