It's been a while, and due to the nature of how this fic comes about, I can't guarantee whether the next chapter will be soon or not, but I think this new one is pretty fun!

Does contain something I've never written before, so let's see how THAT goes.

-HTTYD-

"Toothless, put that down!"

His puppy looked up at Hiccup, giving the typical 'puppy dog eyes' of innocence even as he sat with one of Hiccup's shoes in his mouth.

"Yes, you're adorable, but you're also a menace. Give me that."

He distracted the puppy with one of his special toys. The name was a given - Hiccup had rescued the black labrador puppy as soon as his mom had told him about him, having been born to an owner who didn't care for his parents or his brother and sister well. Which unfortunately meant he'd had a few problems, including being small for his age and poorly maintained teeth, which meant several of his first 'adult' teeth had had to come out. Toothless was still a sweet, affectionate thing, and Hiccup was happy to make sure he had lots of special toys for the dentally challenged. Thankfully, his two siblings had also gotten nice homes too, and the landlord had been happy to let Hiccup adopt Toothless, since other residents in the building also had dogs.

Between the new addition to his little home and the fact he couldn't just disappear for over a month and leave the building without maintenance, Hiccup hadn't been able to join Astrid on her trip to America. It was for work - she was networking, really, starring in some shows with other popular performers to get herself new fans and meeting a couple of companies who were interested in sponsoring her to use their products in her shows.

He'd done a few more shows with her, and apparently had a few fans of his own that liked the variation from Astrid's usually more 'buff' male co-stars. What their relationship was now was still very much undefined though, and Hiccup had no idea what things were going to be like when Astrid returned. Little had changed in their friendship though, now he thought about it - Astrid acted exactly the same way around him as she had before, and he definitely missed her terribly while she was away.

They still chatted regularly online, when time zones and schedules allowed. As Hiccup watched Toothless bowl around the floor excitedly, shedding black hair all over the place of course, he heard the tell-tale music from his laptop that said there was an incoming call. Astrid Hofferson flashed up on the alert, and he grinned before accepting it and watching Astrid's face appear on the screen. She was tanned from time out in the sunshine, golden hair looking a shade brighter and her smile as brilliant as ever.

"There you are! I was about to worry you'd stood me up."

"Nope, just rescuing my shoe."

Astrid laughed as Toothless huffed in offense at Hiccup's pointed look.

"Aww, how is he doing? Did the vet appointment go well?"

Hiccup nodded, warmed by Astrid's genuine concern.

"Yeah, he checked out fine. Gotta keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't get more gum problems in the future, and watch his growth and weight, but he's up to date on shots and the vet said he's got plenty of energy, which I definitely agree with."

Astrid seemed pleased to hear it - she'd met Toothless before leaving, and was glad to know Hiccup wasn't going to be alone while she was away. After a couple more minutes of their usual catch up, conversation turned to their last contact.

"So, what was it you had to run off for last time?"

They'd spoken a couple of days before, Astrid Skyping him from her phone while she was at a party - Hiccup liked to make sure she was safe when she went to what was essentially a stranger's home or hotel with people she didn't know well, but she reassured him that she'd made good friends with several of the other ladies she had met up with, and that a fair few were in attendance there.

"Oh. Yeah... things got a little hot and heavy and I just had to go join in."

Hiccup snorted - Astrid had not been shy about sharing the details of her trip, including the extracurricular sex that wasn't for shows. She'd even gotten a few videos and photos of such events, some of which she'd sent to Hiccup to put on her site (with any partner's permission in writing).

"I'd say I won't ask, but I'm sure you're going to tell me anyway."

"Aww, you know you like hearing my tales of debauchery. And yes, I am absolutely going to tell you. You would not believe how adorable this redhead girl was. I'm about eighty percent sure her name was Anna, but to be honest her mouth was too busy for me to make much out. She's super pale and has these cute freckles on her ass. I was very kind, I even helped her apply some waterproof sunscreen before we all went skinny dipping."

"I'm sure your intentions were nothing but pure."

Astrid winked, giggling before she lifted a glass of water to her mouth to take a drink.

"Absolutely. Purely thirsty, there's a lot of hot women out here. Speaking of which, I have some videos and some photos for you to work on for my site. But first, I must inform you I have found a guy with a bigger cock than Eret. I think he bruised my cervix."

Hiccup frowned.

"Are you alright?"

"Peachy! And it was definitely worth it. I've only got the one show tomorrow night, and it's a solo special. Then I'm coming home! I'm lucky I won't have to miss how big the food portions are out here, cus I have you. I just thought I'd warn you cus there's some stuff of me and Jack in there and I didn't want you to be surprised by the size of the guy's staff. You wouldn't think to look at him, he's pretty slender. Like you, actually."

Hiccup couldn't help laughing at how she gave out such an assortment of information, and he was happy to be reminded Astrid was going to be back on home turf in a few days.

"I promise to feed you when you get back."

"I knew there was a reason we were friends. Hold on, let me get these transferred..." she fell quiet for a minute, focusing on something off to the side before she turned back to the webcam "alright, coming at ya."

Several files and folders soon showed up on his screen, and Hiccup braced himself before he braved opening them. He'd already seen some of the things Astrid had gotten up to after she'd sent him photos of her in a limo with several tipsy, friendly ladies in very little clothing. The first was a folder of explicit photos, the first shoot she'd done with a toy company who had signed her up to help market their products over in the UK, since despite technically being able to access her stream from anywhere with an internet connection, a lot of her fans were British.

Hiccup swallowed thickly; he hadn't had sex since Astrid left the country two months back, and they were very graphic images. And as he hadn't been moderating Astrid's streams while she was away due to the time difference, he wasn't quite as used to seeing her like that so regularly. Astrid was grinning to herself as she watched Hiccup go through them, eyes widening as he flicked through image after image of Astrid working herself with what looked like a very efficient vibrator, the photographer capturing her in the throes of climax, her head thrown back in delight and her lips parted on moans Hiccup could easily imagine after hearing her so many times before.

The next folder was full of what he thought were stills from videos, including one that was different from the others - Astrid was the only one in clear focus, though there were several bodies still mid-action behind her. It did rather stand out that Astrid was, well, covered in come, too much to be from one guy.

"Is this a still from an orgy?"

He didn't need to be more specific before Astrid was giggling and nodding.

"Oh, yeah. I'm gonna get the video soon, but one of the company's representing two of the women are making a fuss, it'll take a little time before we get permission to put it on my site. But that photo only shows me, and it makes a damn good preview if I do say so myself. Don't worry, I saw the clean bill of sexual health from everybody there, and we get a rapid HIV test every week here, plus STD checks every other week. I've got my usual appointment at the clinic the day after I get home too, and I've used condoms the rest of the time. That was just... a lot of fun."

Feeling a little dizzy if he was honest, Hiccup closed that folder to work on later. He knew Astrid was very careful with her sexual health anyway, both for her own safety and that of her co-stars like Eret and Heather. Trying to ignore that he was definitely aroused, Hiccup tried to be more work-focused and opened the first of two videos Astrid had sent him, pausing it and excusing himself to go and see what Toothless was doing. Once he'd given the cheeky pup a soft treat to stop him trying to open the cupboard where his food was, Hiccup returned to his laptop.

"It's only a matter of time before he learns to pick locks, I'm sure."

Astrid laughed, shifting on her seat to get comfortable and commenting that a perk of America she'd miss was the range of protein bar flavours available. Hiccup braced himself and opened the first video. Based on her earlier descriptions, he suspected that he was now seeing 'Jack'. It was clearly more of an amateur, for-pleasure hook up instead of a professional play to the camera, and Hiccup paused it again soon after (blimey, Astrid hadn't been kidding about the size of him).

"What am I meant to do with this? Is Jack even a performer?"

"Not yet, he was there to network for a rep, but he's friends with some who already work. With a cock like that, I doubt he'll struggle to find work. We filmed that for fun and it turned out pretty hot, and he agreed to let it go up on my site in exchange for me saying he can show it to prospective employers."

Even though they were obviously there to have fun, Astrid couldn't quite help performing for the camera a little - or maybe to him, Hiccup briefly wondered as Astrid faced the camera, cheek bulging around the cock in her mouth as she winked. He skipped through it in chunks to see if it was going to need much work with sharpening or sound, finding a moment where Astrid was on top of Jack, throwing a playful smirk over her shoulder to the camera.

The other video she'd sent was with a woman, someone who clearly knew how to work the camera. Tall and lithe with short blonde hair. And strong, judging by how she kept up with Astrid as the two 'wrestled' on the bed, Astrid's giggles rather destroying the illusion of an actual fight before the two moved on to kissing. Hiccup flicked through, landing on a few instances of Astrid's head between muscular thighs with slim fingers buried in her hair, next finding where Astrid was bent over being rather enthusiastically fucked with a strap-on and appearing to be having the time of her life as she bit down on the bedsheets beneath her.

Yeah... he was definitely going to have to finish later, because Astrid looked far too amused at just how visibly flustered Hiccup was getting. He rolled his eyes to show he'd noticed her barely-stifled laughter as he closed the video, making sure everything she'd sent was saved to work on later. She clearly wasn't done yet though, pulling out a final photo and putting that honey-sweet voice of feigned innocence as she asked what Hiccup thought.

The photo contained two other people - one another woman, possibly the redhead Astrid had enthused about earlier, and an unidentified man who wasn't visible above the waist. Hiccup doubted anybody would have considered looking that far up anyway, as both Astrid and her friend had their mouths on the cock jutting in between them. Astrid was looking right at the camera, side of her mouth somehow managing to tip up in a smile.

"What, no video to go with this?"

He quipped as he closed the photo, knowing she'd sent it just to try and raise his blood pressure a little more.

"Nah, that was another just for fun photo session. I was teaching her how to do a double blowjob without knocking heads for an upcoming show she has, and that guy is her boyfriend. Nice guy. Nice cock."

Hiccup rolled his eyes again, shaking his head but unable to suppress a fond smile. Astrid was utterly incorrigible, and it was undeniably part of her charm. She yawned audibly a minute later, checking her phone and blinking a few times.

"Wow, it's getting late. I better get to bed soon, I have breakfast and lunch dates with my new friends to say goodbye and then the show tomorrow. You still good to mod for me?"

"Absolutely. Hopefully I remember how."

He joked - it hadn't been that long, really, and it wasn't terribly difficult work. Astrid laughed, and they signed off from each other soon after. Hiccup dealt with the erection he'd been sporting for the last fifteen minutes, since he couldn't go outside like that and Toothless needed walking.

Toothless naturally charmed everybody who saw him while they walked, and Hiccup happily stopped to let the puppy lap up all the affection he could get; he definitely deserved it after his rough start in life. They returned home sufficiently tired out after a rousing game of fetch and lots of sniffing (for Toothless), and Hiccup couldn't help smiling fondly when the puppy splayed out on the floor and fell asleep within minutes of their return. He was sure the adorable ball of fur would soon be well rested and trying to trash the place again, but for now he was extra cute. Since his little companion was snoozing, Hiccup went back to his laptop and got to work on Astrid's latest batch of content. She'd sent an email after signing off from the video call - copies of any paperwork with permission from others in her content. Hiccup filed them properly and began the new uploads.

Astrid's website had a newsletter function, so once he'd finished editing and uploading, Hiccup made sure to send out alerts to her fans who'd signed up for it that there were new things for them to see. He got the alert himself - he'd signed up to ensure the newsletter was working, and now used it to make sure the alert itself came out well. It wasn't like the update was a surprise when he'd done it.

Hiccup checked on Astrid's flat and took the pup out for a last quick walk before he retired to bed that night - he wasn't especially worried one of the other residents was secretly a thief, but he opened and closed her curtains, left a window open in the day and gave the place a quick clean once a week so it wouldn't be dusty when she returned.

A brief nap in the day between maintenance jobs ensured Hiccup wouldn't be too tired for Astrid's show later on, and he made sure to do his best to tire out Toothless so he'd nap for an hour or two while Hiccup was working. It wasn't easy to moderate a busy stream while being barked at incessantly to go and play.

As usual, he and Astrid chatted during set up, Hiccup logging in to the stream and letting the people waiting know that Astrid was getting ready and that her site had been updated. As time ticked closer and Astrid put her camera on so Hiccup could check everything was working right, he noticed she was staying up close to the camera, blocking the rest of her room from view. When he eventually asked, she merely winked and said it was a surprise.

"You have someone else there?"

"Nope. You can wait and see like everyone else!"

Bemused, Hiccup shrugged it off and waited - they were only a few minutes off beginning anyway. She had on a skimpy white summer dress, showing off her golden tan and the material was sheer enough that the colour of her turquoise lingerie could be easily picked out. As time ticked away, Astrid noted it was almost time, took a long swallow from her bottle of water and then went live on her stream, greeting her eager fans with the usual bright smile.

"Hey there everybody! How are you all doing tonight?"

She went through her usual routine, warming them up, answering the chat and bringing in the first round of money, getting them up to the first threshold of three. It rarely took her long; Astrid was charming and personable as well as attractive, and had a pool of regulars keen to see what she had in store when she promised something new for the night.

"It's my last show here on holiday, and while I've been away I got introduced to a new way to work out. You all know how I like to work up a sweat. It's my first time doing this for a crowd though, so you guys will have to let me know how I'm doing!"

And with that, she got up and stepped to the side, revealing a new installation in the little studio she had rented out for camera shows over there. Astrid commented that she hoped someone else would get a good use out of it after she left, before stretching and striding over to the shiny new pole that had been installed. Hiccup blinked a few times, surprised, before he thought about it for a minute and supposed that it was exactly the sort of thing Astrid would be in to, as it had been gaining popularity in lots of places as a form of exercise. Plus, while she wasn't a naturally gifted dancer, she was flexible and strong, which he imagined were quite important when hanging off a pole with little more than a good grip and muscle strength.

The music she had on wasn't overbearing, just enough to enhance the performance as Astrid got started. Knowing her as he did, Hiccup could tell it took her a minute to warm up into the routine, working to ensure she kept those looking engaged without losing focus. But as usual, once Astrid got in to it, she was as incredible as ever. Her first moves didn't look that advanced, but Hiccup was sure it took work to move so fluidly, to know how to move her hands as she slid around the pole, turning to slide backwards against the pole, knees parted to give teasing peeks of her underwear before she straightened up.

It became clear that Astrid was genuinely having fun too, folding her legs up as her body revolved before coming to land gracefully, and she was laughing and smiling all the while. Once the donations had climbed up to the second threshold, Hiccup sent a message to let her know. Astrid had soon shed the white dress, continuing her work on the pole in her lingerie. He was quite transfixed watching her too, folding her legs around the pole and seeming almost to float in mid-air as she held herself up with no hands, before gripping it again and climbing her way down with no hint of clumsiness. Hiccup doubted he could have done that even with practice. It was evident Astrid herself had been practicing this new skill a lot though, either that or she was just a natural.

He couldn't help but worry she was about to fall a few times, but she never did. Not even when she was basically suspending herself upside down, prompting more than one person in the chat to complain her bra was well-fitting enough that Astrid didn't 'fall out' of it. He couldn't help laughing at that, since Astrid shed said bra the next time her feet were on solid ground, tossing it aside and sliding her now-bare torso up against the pole before she turned and gave a seductive shake toward the camera. Astrid dragged out the time until the little turquoise briefs came off to leave her naked, turning her back on the camera to bend and show the material straining against her ass a few times before they too were discarded.

Hiccup's first thought was "I hope that pole isn't too cold" as Astrid continued to dance and work the pole while stark naked, seeming to have learnt a few of the trademark moves from stripper friends as she slipped from just showing off her strength and skill to actively playing to the camera again. As she was tanned, the playful slap she landed on her own backside didn't flare pink against pale (and the lack of tan lines told Hiccup she'd obviously tanned with nothing on) as it usually would. Nobody who was watching appeared to mind though, and Astrid had sailed right past her third donation threshold by the time Hiccup dragged his eyes off her to check.

Once she was done with the pole, Astrid returned to the laptop, the close up of her breasts clearly a pleasing sight to the onlookers as she sat down, unbraiding her hair and combing her fingers through it to loosen up the strands while they chatted.

"Looks like you all enjoyed the show! I'll have to see about getting one of these for back home, huh?"

Hiccup doubted the landlord was going to go for that, somehow, but Astrid was resourceful and he was sure she'd figure something out. She chatted with the audience a little longer, then let them know she also had a new toy to play with for the night, gaining more interest before she got up, making sure they got a good view of her ass as she sauntered over to pick up her new toy and settling down to put on the final performance of the night.

At first, the dildo itself didn't look too remarkable, though it had obviously been painted for realism by somebody talented rather than the usual single colour shaft and pink/red head (Hiccup wondered if he'd been doing this job too long when he realised he could pick that sort of detail out, then decided to blame it on his art hobbies instead). It wasn't enormous, nor did it seem to have any special features like vibrating or self-thrusting.

Astrid started off by performing a rather enthusiastic blowjob on the toy, gripping the flared base of it with one hand and bobbing her head, pulling back to tease it with her tongue while her free hand stayed around her chest, squeezing her breast and playing with her nipples. Hiccup booted a late-comer who was making aggressive comments, but he had very little to do other than monitor the stream and jot down how much she'd earned at the end of the show. Which meant he ended up watching Astrid most of the time.

As she pulled the dildo out of her mouth, wiping her wet lips with her hand, Hiccup realised what it was about the toy. He'd edited and archived the videos of himself and Astrid, and while he might have been imagining things, her head bobbing along that toy looked rather... familiar. He wasn't sure if he'd ask her - how did one ask their friend if they had a custom dildo of his penis? - but couldn't quite ignore the similarities, nor help himself from thinking just how Astrid would have obtained such a thing. Used a screenshot from their videos before the condom went on? Drawn it from memory?

His thoughts screeched to a halt when he saw Astrid moving, initially looking as though she'd be sat spread legged for the easy view before she seemed to change her mind and got up on all fours. It wasn't the easiest angle to fuck herself in, but damned if Astrid didn't give it her best shot. Braced on one hand, Astrid twisted herself up a little to reach, giving the camera an explicit view of the dildo pressing in as she spread her knees a bit for balance. She couldn't rock back like she would if it was someone else behind her, but Astrid made up for it by working the toy in long, slow thrusts, making sure she pulled it out as far back as she could without it slipping out to give everyone the visual of every inch disappearing into her body again.

After a little while of that - Hiccup knew Astrid wouldn't come like that, with no hands free to stimulate her clit and the position not really allowing for the quicker pace she liked - Astrid straightened up and returned to the camera, offering her on-lookers the choice between her laying down and getting off like she often did or her putting the toy down on the ground and riding it. There was quite the back and forth about it before a couple of bribes/donations from people voting seemed to settle the debate, and Astrid promised to make it up to anybody disappointed by the result soon.

Then again, once Astrid had retrieved what was essentially a weighted cushion with a hole in it and set the dildo up so she could get on top of it, Hiccup doubted anyone was really feeling disappointed. Astrid was pretty wound up herself, he knew, seeing it in her rocking, grinding motions, the way her fingers moved so quickly and surely against her clit. Her lovely new tan couldn't quite hide the way a tell-tale flush spread across her collarbones and chest either, her moans growing in volume partly for the performance and partly for the pleasure she was feeling by then.

Astrid's nails dug into her twitching thigh as she teetered at the edge before falling over it, lower lip caught between her teeth not quite enough to quiet her sounds of ecstacy as she climaxed. Long, loud and messy, arousal dripped from her still-moving fingers as she dragged out the high before slowing her riding motions to a stop, hair a brilliant golden mess over her face and shoulders.

She eased it out slowly, giving the dildo a few licks as she held eye contact with the camera before she crawled over and lifted herself on shaky legs to sit back in her chair, cheeks red with her exertion as Astrid pushed her hair out of her face to say goodnight.

"Well, I've had a lot of fun out here, and met a lot of very sexy people! Those of you who haven't checked out my site lately should definitely go have a look, I put a lot of photos up of me and the new friends I made. But for tonight, we're out of time. Actually, we ran a little bit over cus I was having so much fun riding that pole" she winked "but I hope you all had a great show too! Until next time."

Astrid blew a kiss at the camera before signing off for the night, and Hiccup let everyone know when her next scheduled streams were after she'd gotten home from her trip. It was probably lucky she didn't have a show with Eret right away, given that she'd probably need a couple more days to recover from 'Jack'.

A message popped up in their private messaging box, Astrid letting him know she'd video call him once she was cleaned up. Hiccup went to make himself a cup of tea, still having to remind himself not to make Astrid one too. That was only for another day or two though, he grinned to himself as he returned to his laptop and finished up the admin side of his job.

His tea was still steaming by the time Astrid's video call popped up, answering and being rewarded by her smile followed by a complaint that tea in America was terrible. Hiccup chuckled, holding his mug up.

"Not long now til I can make tea for you again."

"I know! I'm looking forward to that! Seriously, I had to actually ask for a kettle in my room. A kettle! These people all have those weird coffee makers and say they boil water in those. Or worse, microwave it. It's terrible. I now know I am irrefutuably British. But enough about tea, let's talk about me."

They chatted about the show, and it was pretty easy to fall back in to their usual wrap-up chat, despite it being over the internet rather than in his living room with Astrid hogging the sofa. He could tell she was pretty worn out though, and so once they had finished their tea and chat, he insisted she get off to bed and rest. Astrid gave him a tired smile.

"I miss you, you know."

"I miss you too, but it's not long now."

Astrid's smile grew.

"That's true. See you soon!"

-HTTYD-

Well, this was fun! Hopefully we'll get moving again soon, but time will tell.
