Who doesn't love a Valcup comm? Well, I guess non-Valcup shippers. But I am a Valcup shipper, and I was very happy about this!

Does not contain incest, as it's an unrelated Valcup :)

-HTTYD-

With her hair scraped up into a sloppy ponytail, an oversized tunic splattered in every colour of the rainbow and paint smudged on her face and hands, Valka was in no way dressed for any company. Except perhaps her dog, but he was sleeping. She was happily painting away, the walls of the spare bedroom in her house a canvas she'd gone over time and time again.

So when her phone started ringing, Valka did roll her eyes a bit, sighing as she laid her paintbrush down and wiped the wet paint off her fingertips so it wouldn't smear across her phone screen. When she saw the name that flashed up across said screen, Valka felt a little guilty for being annoyed. She picked it up and tapped answer, hearing a very familiar voice come through.

"Hello?"

"Hey Val, how are you?"

His voice often made her smile, but she could hear his maudlin mood even through the phone.

"I'm alright. How are you doing?"

Her good friend Hiccup had recently gone through a break up, and Valka knew he was feeling a little lonely, and had of course assured him he could call her any time he liked if he needed somebody to talk to.

"Oh, you know. Getting there."

"Did you need something? Or did you just call to talk?"

Hiccup fell silent for a minute, and Valka tried to calm the stupid flutters in her chest. Her crush on him was frightfully inappropriate - he was a little over ten years her junior, and had been in a happy relationship until a few weeks ago. And they were very good friends, which Valka absolutely valued, because he was a wonderful young man. Thoughtful, mature but with a witty sense of humour, a playful side that brought out her own and he was just... a good person.

And he was gorgeous, which Valka did her best not to notice, but he really was beautiful to look at.

Oh. He was talking. Valka supposed she should be listening, not daydreaming.

"-obviously I understand if you're too busy, but I was just hoping we could hang out since we're both off work today."

Despite her silly thoughts, Valka never considered saying no.

"Of course! I'm covered in paint at the moment though."

"Of course you are. Should I give you some time to clean up?"

"Perhaps. See you in... an hour?"

They hung up a few minutes later, and Valka tried to calm her racing heart. He needed comfort, she told herself. Human contact, a good friend in his time of loneliness. Not... the things in her head right now. She looked over at the wall, thinking. With an hour to spare, she had time to... ease her own flutters, and still clean up before Hiccup made it to her house. So after washing her hands and stripping off her painting tunic, Valka headed to her bedroom.

Her Hitachi wand - one of the most incredible inventions, in her totally unbiased opinion - had gotten a lot of mileage over the last year or so, ever since her brain had decided that being a good friend of Hiccup's wasn't enough, and that she needed to notice his pert backside or stubbled jaw or perfectly messy hair...

At one point, she had sort of considered whether to risk their friendship or not, but then Hiccup had entered a relationship with someone his own age, and she'd obviously kept such things to herself ever since. Going after him because she found him attractive was a bad idea, she knew, especially when he was pretty fresh out of a relationship and at best, she'd be taking advantage of a young man on the rebound. Which wouldn't have been good for either of them... well, it might have felt good at the time, but not afterwards.

Valka took care of things quite thoroughly, and managed to clean up properly and re-dress before there was a knock at the door. She opened it to see Hiccup, looking a little downcast but his face broke out in to a smile when he saw her. How was that fair, she thought, before scolding herself for not simply being happy he was looking happy to see her. He threw his arms around her on sight, and Valka hugged him back just as fiercely. They were both tactile people, and so that was a completely normal greeting they shared. When Hiccup was particularly chirpy, he sometimes even picked her up and spun her in the air as they hugged hello.

"Come in, come in. I'll put the tea on."

Hiccup nodded, giving her a smile as he headed in to the house. Cloudjumper bowled up to greet him, and Hiccup knelt down to say hi to the big lumbering dog, laughing as he was licked in greeting. Valka wondered if she could get away with it, but thought it would probably have seemed strange.

When she came back out, Hiccup had cleaned his face - she kept wet wipes around for that purpose, knowing how affectionate Cloudjumper could get when he liked the human who was visiting - and was sat on the sofa, scratching the hound behind the ears much to said hounds pleasure. He accepted the steaming mug with thanks, and Valka sat next to him with her own tea, pulling her legs up to fold beneath her.

"Thanks for letting me come over. I didn't mean to take up your free time."

"Nonsense! We're friends Hiccup, you know I'm always happy to see you."

He gave her another smile, and Valka felt a few flutters but ignored them, focusing instead on bringing his mood up. Once they'd both had a few sips of tea and her idiot dog had sloped off to gnaw at a chew toy with a disabled squeaker, Valka approached conversation.

"So, how are you feeling?"

"Oh, you know. A little dejected, questioning if I will be alone forever. That sort of usual breakup stuff."

Valka tsked, rolling her eyes.

"Come now Hiccup, you're a wonderful young man with lots to offer. You just need a little time to heal and pick yourself up, and I'm sure ladies will lining up."

He snorted.

"Women have never lined up for me, but I appreciate the compliment."

Valka did not mention that she would happily have placed herself at the front of that line, contenting herself instead with the sight of Hiccup's mouth tipping up at the sides while he sipped his tea. Despite a few wayward thoughts, her main feeling was comfort - they were always very comfortable around each other. Which was probably part of her attraction to him, if she was honest. Hiccup seemed to relax pretty quickly, and they were chatting away like always by the time their cups were empty.

"More tea?"

"Maybe later. Could we just... cuddle for a bit? Sorry if that's weird, I'm just missing being able to cuddle all the time, what with being single and we hug a lot anyway so I thought maybe-"

Valka cut him off, seeing Hiccup looked a little nervous. She couldn't understand why - they were always hugging and leaning on each other, close and tactile friends.

"Of course. Come here, silly boy."

Hiccup let out a short chuckle, but soon shifted closer until he could lean against her. They fussed and moved around a little at first, before settling with her arms around him as he leant against her chest. His hair, forever all over the place, tickled under her chin a little, but Valka could hear his breathing even out, felt him relax into her hold more and more.

They didn't speak; they didn't have to. Hiccup was seeking a physical comfort, and Valka was happy to oblige, ignoring the irritating voice in her head that said she ought to offer him a different kind of physical comfort. She found herself stroking his hair without realising, but he didn't ask her to stop and so she continued after she realised. His hair was thick, but soft to the touch and her fingers did not get caught in any knots.

After a while, his occasional contented hums stopped, and when Valka softly spoke to him, Hiccup did not answer. Suspecting he'd fallen asleep, Valka smiled to herself that he trusted her so and left him to it, hoping he found the comfort he needed in their embrace.

Hiccup hadn't expected to fall asleep, but he was just so damn cosy and comfortable with her, he wasn't surprised to find that he had dozed off when he woke up. Though he was surprised about how he got there, now he thought about it. The filter between his brain and his mouth seemed conspicuously absent when he blurted out the request for a cuddle from Valka, and as soon as he realised what he'd said, he realised it might have been seen as a weird request.

Thankfully, Valka didn't seem to think he was weird, and even allowed him the cuddle he desperately needed. Once he settled in her arms, Hiccup felt so much better. How could he not, though? It was Valka. They'd been friends for years, and they were so alike in many ways, it was impossible for him not to to feel at ease with her.

Though, if he was honest with himself, there were a lot of things he felt around Valka. Ease was one of them, but definitely not the only thing he felt. He'd always had a bit of a thing for her ever since they met, but she was almost fifteen years older than him, and while they got along amazingly as friends, and Hiccup thought she was absolutely stunning to look at, he was pretty sure she'd never be interested in him like that.

Then he'd met a nice girl and they'd started dating, and Hiccup pushed his inappropriate crush on Valka to the back of his mind, not wanting it to interfere with either his relationship with Astrid nor his friendship with Valka. Now he was single again. Astrid was lovely, both to look at and be around, but ultimately they weren't a match romantically.

And now, as he laid against Valka's chest, her heart thrumming under his ear and her long, gentle fingers lazily petting his hair, Hiccup couldn't think of anywhere else... or anyone else he would rather feel quite so at home with. He was awake now, but had no inclination to move from their present position. Valka seemed to have noticed he was no longer sleeping though, as he heard her soft, sweet voice.

"Have a nice nap?"

Hiccup gave a nod, waiting for her to tell him to move.

"Sorry, didn't mean to fall asleep."

"It's fine, you weren't out for long."

Hiccup felt a little awkward about it, but his body was still relaxed and warm, and Valka was still occasionally stroking his hair. Plus, he was feeling a little emotionally vulnerable when he'd first come over earlier, and now the lady he'd harboured a crush on was cuddling him and reminding Hiccup just how much he enjoyed her company. Add to that her indulgent smile and bright green eyes he found when he looked up at her, Hiccup felt like he was getting hit over the head with clues about why he and Astrid never would have worked out.

I might always use condoms, but I think I've gone and caught a serious case of Feelings here.

"Are you alright Hiccup? You look deep in thought."

He nodded, swallowing thickly. He couldn't tell her, surely? Valka might think he'd only gone over there to try and make a move on her, and that was the last thing he wanted her to think of him. Besides, he didn't want to lose one of his best friends by scaring her off blurting out that he was pretty sure his feelings for her were a solid reason that it hadn't worked with Astrid. And that he'd only just properly realised that. Apparently, napping on her chest was a great place to come to big realisations.

"I'm fine."

When he sat up a little more, Valka's hand moved. Not away, but it slipped down to his cheek, thumb rubbing over his stubble. They held each others gaze for a moment, and Hiccup found himself leaning in before he could stop himself. Valka's eyes widened, and Hiccup's heart thumped in his chest, daring to hope for a second before everything fell apart as Valka turned away, shaking her head and dropping her hand from his still-tingling cheek.

Hiccup got the hint and backed off, annoyed with himself for being so stupid and thoughtless.

"Sorry."

It was all he could get out, though it felt inadequate. Valka frowned, still not quite meeting his eye.

"It's... it's fine, really. I... never mind."

Though he knew he should have just left it alone, Hiccup was the sort of idiot who rarely listened to that kind of common sense, and so he asked.

"You... what?"

"It doesn't matter."

"It matters to me. What were you going to say?"

Valka sighed, chewing her lower lip and still not looking at him properly.

"Fine. I... I was going to say I wouldn't have stopped you, but I'm not going to take advantage of my friend who's on the rebound."

It took Hiccup's mind a minute to process what she said, and Valka looked a little more nervous every ten seconds or so. By the time he'd computed what she meant, she was making to get up from the sofa, and if they weren't in her home Hiccup suspected she'd have probably suggested it was time for her to go.

"Wait. I thought I was... I didn't think you would be interested in me like that."

Now both of them seemed to be in a mild state of shock. Was Valka only holding back so she wouldn't be 'taking advantage of him'? Or was he mistaken? His heart was still going a little crazy in his chest as he waited for her to answer.

"I never thought you would want me."

Hiccup blinked.

"What? Why?"

"I'm much older than you, and I've watched you court a few pretty young ladies."

Hiccup was a little baffled, shaking his head.

"Valka... I never said anything because I value our friendship, but I've always thought you were... to be crude, hot. And I've never cared you were older than me."

He didn't want to seem like he was trying to guilt her in to reciprocating by saying he was pretty sure the reason he and Astrid didn't work out was because Astrid wasn't Valka, especially since he'd only really just realised that for himself. After she looked at him for a minute, Hiccup feeling more like those big green eyes were looking through him, she smiled.

And then she kissed him.

It took Hiccup a beat to respond, since he was a little bit surprised and not entirely sure it wasn't a dream, but when he did respond, the shift was immediate. Valka's fingers, previously gentle as they stroked him, now buried themselves tight in his hair. Her breath came in short, low gasps against his mouth, her usually soft, sweet voice deeper all of a sudden. They pressed closer still, Valka all but sat in his lap by then. They broke apart to catch their breath, her cheeks flushed a deep pink.

Hiccup was sure his own face was equally flushed, pulse racing as Valka gazed at him. Her mouth was still slightly open, her breath hot against his lips and her fingers still wound through his hair. He slid his own hands down her back, encouraging her forward until Valka was actually in his lap. There was little chance she'd miss his response to her, but she didn't say anything. He kept his arms around her, one of Valka's arms coming down to rest around his shoulders. He couldn't suppress a smile, Valka watching his expression with curiosity across her face.

"What's that smile for?"

"Just... earlier I was thinking how I felt really warm and safe when we were cuddling. And I feel that again now."

Valka's face softened, and Hiccup felt his heart swell in his chest.

"You're too sweet."

He shrugged, still smiling. Valka leant in and kissed him again, a little nervous at first until Hiccup responded eagerly. Honestly, he was sort of kicking himself for not saying something sooner, but also realised he certainly didn't feel like time spent as Valka's friend was time wasted. So he just focused on enjoying the way she felt in his arms, feeling tingles in his belly when her tongue slipped into his mouth.

Valka was essentially straddling his lap, her knees tightening against his thighs when he groaned as her nails scratched lightly at his scalp. When she breathed his name against his mouth, Hiccup was certain he was completely lost to her. She used the grip in his hair to tip his head back, lips trailing over his jaw to kiss below his ear. He turned his head more to expose more skin, showing her he was more than fine with what was going on and feeling her smile against his neck.

"Come to bed? We don't have to move further, this is just a little cramped."

Hiccup couldn't have said no even if her bed was on fire, and he definitely understood what she meant. They both had the same build, slim with almost ridiculously long legs that seemed designed exclusively to make fitting in to car or plane seats awkward, or to make it hard to buy trousers. He nodded, and Valka got to her feet with far more grace than Hiccup could have done. She held a hand out to him, and he happily took it, following Valka through her home. Hiccup knew the way, but he was still very happy to be being invited and led there.

Once they were through her bedroom door, Valka pulled him along to the bed, long enough for them to both lay down on without their feet hanging off the end. As soon as they were up on the bed, he pulled her back to him, enjoying the warmth of her so close. Valka cradled his face with one hand, pressing closer still as they kissed, making those sweet little sounds against his mouth again. Still a little dizzy with the fact that it was even happening, Hiccup could do little more than keep kissing her back.

His hands were the first to wander, drawn in by the heat of her skin when her top rode up as they shifted against one another, tracing his fingers across the bare skin of her back. Valka hummed, sliding her leg over one of his and shivering slightly when Hiccup's fingers pushed further up beneath her shirt. He stopped immediately, pulling away to look at her.

"Everything alright?"

"Oh, yes. I'm quite sensitive there, that's all."

As though to continue reassuring him, Valka leant down and kissed him again. Now he knew her shiver had not been a negative response, Hiccup felt emboldened to continue his slow exploration. Seeming encouraged by his wandering hand, Valka's own left his face and slid down, dipping under his shirt to trace slightly ticklish circles over his belly.

His shirt was the first to come off, but Valka's was not far behind. Hiccup saw a flicker of shyness, but couldn't imagine why - he thought she was gorgeous, and appreciated the expanse of bare skin to explore, to touch and feel burning against his own. She was so warm and Hiccup couldn't get enough of it, following when Valka urged him on top of her and groaning when he felt her squirm against his erection. Even just her hands running up and down his back was enough to make Hiccup tingle, his jeans feeling tighter and more uncomfortable every minute but he didn't want to push Valka, nor did he want to rush the moment when learning all her sensual sounds was addictive in itself.

Valka, on the other hand, seemed quite keen to keep exploring, her fingers sliding down his sides until her nails scraped lightly across the top of his waistband, settling there before she broke the kiss. He opened his eyes to find her looking up at him.

"Can I?"

Hiccup nodded, shifting back on to his knees so she had the room to undo his bottoms. He was reminded why he adored her so when they both started giggling, as Valka had a little trouble undoing his belt. Their playful, easy friendship didn't seem to have died when they kissed, which was all the more reassuring for Hiccup. Once she got his belt and zipper loose, her hand delved beneath fabric to splay across his erection, squeezing lightly and watching Hiccup's face to see his response. Whatever she saw seemed encouraging, as Valka moved to tug his waistband down enough to get her hand beneath fabric, hot hand gripping his cock and pulling it free.

Hiccup had the usual brief concern she'd look disappointed, though thankfully Valka looked anything but disappointed, stroking him slowly until he twitched in her grip. He swallowed heavily, trying to get his mouth to stop feeling so dry.

"That's very nice, but I'm feeling a little underdressed here."

Valka looked up, small smile on her face.

"Quite right."

She let him go, and Hiccup lamented the loss briefly but soon perked up when he realised she was reaching back to unhook her bra, slipping it off and tossing it aside. Hiccup had seen her when they went swimming together, for example, but bare from the waist up was a whole other thing and he had trouble looking away. Luckily, Valka did not appear to mind him looking at her, nor did she seem opposed to when Hiccup leant back down, catching her in a kiss and daring to let his hands explore newly bared skin.

Valka gasped softly against his mouth as he did so, making those lovely little noises as he thumbed and squeezed lightly at her nipple, her breast filling his hand when he palmed her. Gods, she was incredible, and Hiccup still couldn't quite believe that it was happening, even with the sharp sensations of her nails digging into his back or the feel of her hips pushing up against his own.

"Fuck," and damned if hearing her breathy swearing didn't turn him on even more "Hiccup, I need... I need more."

She seemed almost shy about saying it, and Hiccup wondered if it was because she'd been insistent that taking him to bed hadn't been meant to be her trying to rush anything. He was entirely on the same page though, groaning.

"I uh... do you have protection? I didn't expect this."

Valka nodded, chest heaving with ragged breaths as she placed a hand on his chest and nudged until he turned and laid down on his back. Her body blocked his view of whatever she was doing in her bedside table, but when she turned back Valka had a distinctive foil square in hand.

"You're not allergic to latex are you?"

Hiccup shook his head, but took the condom and put it aside so they had both hands free, hardly able to believe the words were coming from his own mouth.

"How are you with oral sex? Cus I'm kind of dying to go down on you right now."

Her breath hitched, and her murmured yes was music to his ears. She moved so they could get her bottoms off, gesturing to his effectively useless clothes.

"Yours too."

Hiccup obliged and peeled off his bottoms, discarding them to the ground and feeling his heart pound in his chest as he looked over Valka's nude body. He wanted to slow down and commit her to memory, just in case this never happened again, but he couldn't quite help himself when Valka spread her legs in invitation, watching him through hooded eyes as she bit down on her lip, which he found unreasonably appealing.

Sliding between her legs and being quite sure there was no place he would rather be, Hiccup arranged her legs over his shoulders and wrapped his arms around her thighs, looking up to check Valka hadn't changed her mind. She was visibly aroused, flushed and panting and utterly bewitching to look at. His cock was trapped between his belly and the sheets, but gave a hearty throb of need when he breathed in Valka's scent, and another when he leant in and ran his tongue along the length of her slit to taste her. Valka sighed, eyes closed when he looked up. Hiccup waited until she looked at him again, wanting to see more of the heat in her gaze.

When he was satisfied with that, Hiccup dropped his head and got to work, delighting in the way Valka moaned and writhed under his mouth as he licked her, tasting musky arousal and feeling her grow hotter and wetter as his tongue worked her. Her legs spasmed around his head when Hiccup sucked her clit between his lips, flicking his tongue over the firm tip until she pleaded for him to stop so she could catch her breath.

Her fingers came down to tug at his hair, so Hiccup reluctantly lifted his head, licking her wetness off his lips to chase the intoxicating taste of her there.

"What's up?"

"Well, I don't want that condom going to waste."

Understanding the implication, Hiccup freed himself from her slim but wonderfully strong thighs and crawled up along her body. Valka didn't hesitate before she kissed him again, which only served to arouse Hiccup further. He fumbled a little with the condom wrapper before Valka took it from him, tearing the foil open and waiting for Hiccup to move so she could apply it to him carefully. He nodded to say it was on right, then waited until she met his eye again.

"Are you sure about this?"

She nodded, sliding her legs up around his hips as Hiccup leaned back in, cradling him between her thighs and assuring him further by reaching down to guide Hiccup in to place. He pressed in slowly, savouring the feeling until they were flush, her legs wrapped firmly around him. Hiccup stayed that way until Valka wriggled, impatiently urging him to move. His hips flexed back and forth an inch or two, teasing her to see her reaction.

"Move or I'm getting on top."

"Is that meant to be a threat or a promise?"

Her mild ire immediately dissolved into laughter, and Hiccup felt his heart swell in his chest at the way it lit up her face. She eventually shook her head and pulled him closer, ensuring his upper body rubbed along hers as his resolve to hold out weakened. Slow, deep thrusts seemed enough for Valka, as she loosely looped her arms around his neck and rocked her hips in time with his. His weight was braced on his elbows, and so their bodies were close from chest to hips, their sweat mingling as they slid against each other.

As much as he enjoyed the slow, steady motions and Valka's hungry gaze, need soon pushed them both to move a little harder, a little faster, Valka's hands sliding from the back of his neck to grip tightly at his back. Hiccup buried his face in her neck, unable to keep looking at her expressions of ecstacy without coming on the spot. The heat of her skin, the slick slide of his cock, the sounds she made so close to his ear... Hiccup could barely keep from falling apart even without looking at her, letting out a weak gasp of

"Fuck, I can't hold out much longer."

"Harder, I'm so close..."

Was her response, and Hiccup happily complied until he felt Valka's muscles flutter and tighten around his cock, thrilling in the full body shudders that followed and the filth that spilled from her mouth when all her barriers were down in that moment of bliss. He didn't hold out much longer, and would have called it embarrassingly quick if he hadn't brought Valka off already. His hips bucked as he came, pressing deeper, trying to prolong the high before he slowed to a shaky, sweaty mess of limbs. Valka was little better beneath him, stroking his scratched back lazily as she waited for him to finish and regain coherency.

He was loathe to move, but didn't want to lose the condom as he softened, so reluctantly pulled out and peeled himself off of Valka, gripping the condom and rolling on to his back. Valka handed him a couple of tissues from the box on top of her bedside table wordlessly, which Hiccup thanked her for as he slid the condom off and wrapped it, dumping it on top of his clothes because the little bin in her room was too far away to get to without getting up. Which might have been less of an issue if Hiccup could feel his legs.

After a few beats of silence save for their heavy breathing, Hiccup turned back toward Valka, reaching out and hoping not to be rebuffed. She lifted her hand to meet his, and he worried she was going to push him away until she linked her fingers through his, their joined hands resting on the space between them on the bed.

"So... that happened."

He couldn't think of anything else to say, and his words hung in the air for a minute as Valka gave him a long, searching look.

"Yes, it did."

Hiccup felt somewhat reassured by her holding his hand, but with the edge of frantic need faded, unspoken words lingered between them.

"Do you... you're not going to regret this, are you?"

Valka pondered, before shaking her head.

"No, not at all. I just worry I took advantage of you needing some human comfort."

Hiccup frowned, sitting up without letting go of her hand.

"Why would you think that? I... ok, I might be putting myself out here too much, but I can't have you thinking that. I've liked you, I've wanted you like this for ages, but I always valued our friendship too much to risk saying anything. Earlier, when we were cuddling, all I could think was how I couldn't think of anyone else I felt so at home with."

Slowly, Valka seemed to accept his words and pulled him closer, until they were able to embrace each other properly. The cuddle was cut short by Hiccup's bladder interrupting, but when he apologised and excused himself, Valka merely giggled and he was happy to see her still relaxed around him. He rushed off, cleaned up and waited patiently on the bed until Valka had done the same. She initially reached for a dressing gown, but Hiccup was quick to veto her covering up.

Once she was back, the snuggling resumed and Hiccup was thrilled, chuckling when Valka apologised for marking his back up so much.

"I'm really not complaining, but you're welcome to kiss it better."

She took the invitation, though she kissed his mouth rather than his scratched back, but Hiccup really didn't feel the need to complain. Having her warm, naked body pressed against his soon had a rather obvious effect, and Valka let out a small laugh when she felt his cock poking hopefully at her leg.

"You can ignore him if you want, he just likes you."

Hiccup offered, but Valka shook her head, gentle smile shifting to something more playful and mischievous.

"I'm up for round two if you are."

As he was closer, Hiccup nodded before turning to reach for the drawer she'd gotten condoms out of before. Valka jumped to stop him, which confused him a little but then she was pinning him down and that was pretty hot.

"What are you hiding in that drawer?"

He joked, and Valka just leaned in, still grinning.

"That's a conversation for another time."

-HTTYD-

Valka: It's DEFINITELY NOT a sex toy though.
