Future Chief!

Chapter 7: Berks Security

Even though he is not chief yet, the security of Berk or the lack there of, has been worrying Hiccup. Stoick's ego gets him in hot water.

Hiccup and Astrid's Home

Hiccup woke up early with the same problem every red bloodied man wakes up with, morning wood. Normally, this would have been a problem for him but fortunately for Hiccup, he had gotten married not too long ago and was currently spooning the solution to his current predicament. Hiccup smiled as he remembered the passion his new bride was capable of.

Since Hiccup had his arm around his wife's waist, it was easy for him to just move it up and start caressing her breast. He lightly skimmed his finger across the tip of Astrid's nipple causing her to moan in her sleep. Hiccup took the weight of her breast into his hand while continuing to flick his thumb back and forth over the nipple. Astrid, still sleeping, moaned louder.

Hiccup moved his hand from her breast down up under Astrid's night gown. He started softly caressing her folds which were already slick with her juices. Even while sleeping, Astrid started undulating her lower body against Hiccups probing fingers. Astrid was finally pulled from the most amazing dream she was having to find out it was no dream at all.

Astrid smiled and stretched her body languidly. The smile left her face as a loud moan was forced out of her when Hiccup slipped a finger into her. Even though Astrid was still new to lovemaking with her husband, she did know that Hiccup was a perfectionist and would continue to drive her mad by slowly bringing her body to a fevered pitch before entering her and quenching the fire inside her. Astrid had no problem with that but this morning, she wanted her husband inside her immediately.

Astrid was a fierce woman of action and knowing exactly what she wanted, she proceeded to put thoughts into action and get what she was craving. Even though she didn't want to because it felt so good, Astrid removed Hiccups hand from her folds, turned in his arms and pushed him unto his back. She then took off her nightgown and climbed on top of her husband. She took Hiccup's dragon into her hand and lined him up with her opening. Astrid slowly sank down, enjoying the feel of Hiccup slowly filling her.

When Astrid was fully seated on Hiccup, she just sat there with her eyes closed and a smile of contentment on her face at the enjoyment she felt having her husband hot, hard and buried to the hilt inside of her. Astrid opened her eyes and looked down into Hiccups emerald eyes. She slowly rotated her hips which had them both moaning at the exquisite pleasure this brought them. As Astrid started to continuously rotate her hips, Hiccup reached up and started caressing her breasts. Astrid hissed in pleasure as Hiccup started gently pinching her nipples.

It wasn't long before Astrid first orgasm of the day ripped through her body. She fell forward onto Hiccup's chest to rest after her climax. But there was to be no rest. Hiccup grabbed Astrid hips and started thrusting upward into her. Astrid moaned in pleasure as the friction against her sensitized core sent wave after wave of intense pleasure throughout her body. As Hiccup continued to thrust into her, Astrid felt another orgasm rapidly approaching. Hiccup sped up his thrusting as he felt his own climax approaching.

The rhythmic slapping of skin meeting skin caused Astrid to blush. It sounded awfully loud to her which caused her to think everyone in the village could hear what they were doing. The thought was driven from her mind as her second orgasm overtook her. Astrid bit Hiccup's shoulder to keep from yelling out in pleasure. The pleasure-pain from Astrid's bite caused Hiccup to reach his peak as well. Hiccup had a death grip on Astrid's hips as he thrust up into her as far as he could and emptied into her.

Astrid lay boneless on top of Hiccup as they both tried to catch their breath. Hiccup gently caressed Astrid's back from the top of her shoulder blades down to her firm ass. Every now and then he would give her ass a squeeze when he reached it. This caused Astrid to smile at her kinky husband. She loved the fact that Hiccup found pleasure in her body. Astrid finally found the strength to raise her head and once again, gaze into Hiccups eyes. She lowered her head and crushed her lips unto his. Their tongues battled as they kissed for what seemed like hours.

When Hiccup softened and slipped out of her, Astrid got up and went to the water basin and cleaned herself up. She then brought the rag over to the bed and blushed a deep shade of red as she cleaned Hiccup up. After replacing the rag, she climbed back into bed and cuddled up to her husband. Hiccup wrapped his arms around her and gave her a soft kiss on her nose. They were both content to lie in each other arms, basking in their post lovemaking glow. As content as Astrid was, she knew she needed to broach an important topic with Hiccup.

"Hiccup"

"Yes Milady"

"You know as Chief and Chieftess, we are required to give the village an heir."

"Yes, I'm aware of our duty to provide an heir. Are you trying to tell me you're with babe" Hiccup asked with a smile?

"Oh no Hiccup, I've been very careful to drink the tea every morning" Astrid quickly assured him.

"Okay, then what are you trying to tell me" Hiccup asked?

"Well, I was just wondering when you wanted to start trying" Astrid asked softly?

Hiccup lifted Astrid face up so he could look into her eyes. He leaned down and gave her a sweet soft kiss which she returned instantly.

"First of all, we're not Chief and Chieftess yet. We are still Astrid, the shield maiden and Hiccup, the heir of Berk. There's no need for us to rush to provide an heir. Second, we have a ton of work to do to make Berk as safe as we possibly can so our children can grow up in a safe environment, and you, my lovely wife, are an integral part of making that happen. So, you can't be hampered with pregnancy and a babe right now. Last, and this is purely a selfish reason on my part, I want at least a year of having my wife all to myself" Hiccup stated before leaning down to capture Astrid's lips in another sweet kiss.

'Duty can go to hel' Astrid thought as she kissed Hiccup. After what Hiccup had just told her, Astrid didn't give a damn about anything except doing exactly what Hiccup had just stated. She especially liked the third part of his statement as she wanted nothing more than to have Hiccup all to herself. Everything he said made a ton of sense. Without even knowing it, Hiccup had taken a huge burden off of his wife's mind. She no longer had to think of getting pregnant and becoming a mom right away before she had even learned how to be a wife.

Later that day, Hiccup, Astrid and Fishlegs were walking through the village discussing the changes they would need to make for Berk to not only survive but to thrive. Because they were so engrossed in their conversation, they didn't see Fishleg's parents smiling at the trio as they passed by. They also didn't see Astrid's parents smiling at them as they watched them plan Berk's future. Since only the people that Hiccup had confided in to be part of his council knew of his plans, all the other Berkians ignored them thinking they were just being silly teenagers talking about foolish things.

Hiccup finally looked up and saw the Hofferson's standing in front of their house. He waved at them and then motioned for Astrid's father to join them. They had a short discussion before the four of them got on their dragons and flew off. Stoick had also watched the events unfold and wondered where they could be flying off to.

The four landed on the other side of the island. They immediately started discussing the best way to secure this side. As they talked, Fishlegs wrote down the notes on what was agreed upon to shore up the security. The rest of the day they meticulously made their way around the entire island, taking their time to make sure they didn't miss anything. Once they were done, they felt better that they now had a plan to secure the entire island but they were still ill at ease because of how vulnerable Berk was until the changes had been put in place.

They arrived back in town at dusk and went into the great hall to get something to eat. They all fixed a plate and took a table in back. Hiccup looked around the great hall and was happy to see that the two people he needed to speak with were still there. They were key to finalizing the plans for Berk's security. He pointed to Gobber and waved him over to the table and then pointed to Gustaf and waved him over. Since Gobber worked in the forge and Gustav was a master builder, he needed both men for what he had in mind.

Hiccup had the two Vikings sit down and then started explaining what he needed them for. Hiccup pulled out a couple of pages with drawings of the items he needed built. Fishlegs took out the notes he had made to explain to the men why they needed the items built. Both men initially frowned at the drawings, not understanding why Hiccup needed these weapons built. After Fishlegs explained what they were trying to do and how they were to be used, both men understood and became very interested in the plan and began giving input on the designs of the weapons.

After all the corrections and updates had been made to the designs, Hiccup put them back in his pocket and told the two of them that he would make cleaner copies for both of them so they could begin their work. He called an end to the meeting and they all rose to leave with a sense of accomplishment firmly in place. They had a viable plan to secure Berk completely and was ready to get started on it immediately.

Stoick had been watching this little meeting with a frown on his face. He didn't know what was going on but he was chief and felt he needed to know everything that was going on. He also didn't like that no one was coming over to his table to voluntarily brief him on whatever business this was. When he saw them breaking up the meeting, he stood up and called Hiccup over to his table. Of course, it was only natural that Astrid came with him.

"What do you need dad" Hiccup asked?

"What was that meeting about?"

"Oh, don't worry about that, it was nothing that concerns you" Hiccup replied.

"I'm the chief, everything concerns me; now what was the meeting about?" Stoick demanded starting to raise his voice.

Hiccup didn't like Stoick's tone of voice and he especially didn't like Stoick trying to order him to tell him about a private meeting that he wasn't a part of.

"Ok dad, I'm going to tell you three things so listen carefully" Hiccup started.

'Oh Ooohhh' Astrid thought. 'That's Hiccup I'm fed-up tone.'

"First, being the chief does not mean everything concerns you; furthermore, everything does not concern you so you need to get that through that thick skull of yours. Second, and I've told you this before, I'm not one of your possessions to order around. You haven't been an actual father to me since mom was taken so stop trying to exert some sort of parental dominance over me. Whatever parental rights you might have had, were lost to you when you stopped being a father to me. Finally, in Viking Law, 16 is the legal age of an adult so even if you thought you still had any kind or parental rights over me, they were null and void when I turned 16. Even if I wasn't 16, I'm a legally married man, so again, all parental rights over me would be null and void. The only relationship we have right now is you're the chief and I'm the heir" Hiccup finished.

"Well, I'm glad you recognize that you are not chief yet and that title still remains with me. As chief, everything that happens on Berk is my responsibility. As long as you live here on Berk, you are subject to the laws of Berk and it's chief. Now, as chief, I demand that you tell me what that meeting was about. I also want to see those documents that you and Fishlegs have" Stoick demanded.

"You know what, you are absolutely right. You're the chief. The meeting was about the things we can do to make Berk more secure. But, since you're the chief, keeping Berk secure is your responsibility, not the heirs. So, I leave that in your capable hands. As for the documents, they are my drawings and ideas. Those documents are my personal property; therefore, you can't order or demand that they be turned over to you. As for living on Berk, I'll take care of that right now." Hiccup stated as he turned and left with Astrid right behind him.

The rest of the people who were in Hiccup's meeting had waited outside of the great hall but they had heard everything. When Hiccup came out, Astrid was right behind him and Stoick was right behind her trying to catch up with Hiccup. Hiccup asked Fishlegs to give him the notes as he knew Stoick would demand them from Fishlegs and he didn't want to put him in the predicament of being loyal to the future chief or the current chief.

As Fishlegs handed over the notes, Stoick caught up with Hiccup. "Hiccup wait, what are you doing? What did you mean when you said you would take care of living on Berk?"

Hiccup never answered. He had already whistled for Toothless who was standing beside him. Hiccup just jumped on Toothless and was off in a flash with Astrid and Stormfly right behind him. Hiccup was pissed and made a beeline for his island.

Hiccup and Toothless landed and went into the house. Hiccup went and sat in his chair with his legs propped up on the ottoman while Toothless went and heated up his rock before lying down facing his rider. Stormfly landed with Astrid and they both came in. Stormfly went over to Toothless and settled down beside him. Astrid went over to Hiccup and didn't like what she saw. He had a frown on his face and was staring blankly out into space.

Astrid knew Hiccup very well. Right now, she knew his brilliant brain was probably going a mile a minute as he was very upset with his father. Yep, she understood her husband very well. They might not have been married long but she has known him all of her life. She recognized the look on his face and knew that Hiccup was done talking for the day.

Astrid removed her armor and then removed Hiccup's armor. He barely noticed. She went and got a fur before climbing into his lap and covering them both. She snuggled into him and his arms automatically came around her. They remained this way for hours.

Back on Berk, Gobber was not happy and he was not shy about letting Stoick know about it.

"What the hel was that all about Stoick? What's got your nose so bent out of shape?" Gobber yelled at him.

"He wouldn't tell me what he was doing and he wouldn't show me those documents. I'm the chief and I need to know everything that's going on." Stoick stated stubbornly.

"That's a bunch of dragon dung and you know it. That boy was doing nothing wrong and here you come acting all high and mighty just because you wanted to be nosy." Gobber shouted.

"I'm the chief and I need to know what's going on" Stoick yelled.

"Yeah, that's it, keep shouting at the top of your lungs that you're the chief and maybe you'll hear how stupid you sound. If I wasn't standing right in front of you looking at you, I would have sworn it was that idiot Snotlout shouting all over the place. But just to humor you, I'll tell you what Hiccup was doing. He was doing the job that no chief has done for as long as I can remember, including the current chief. HE WAS SEEING TO THE SECURITY OF BERK; ALL OF BERK!" Gobber yelled before storming off.

If Stoick thought he was done getting told off for the day, he was sadly mistaken.

Ingrid marched over to Stoick and got right into his face. Stoick hadn't been this afraid of a woman since the time Valka had been enraged at him for something stupid, he had said or did. He had thought his life was over then and he had that same feeling now as he stared at the angry woman standing in front of him.

"What the hel is your problem chief" Ingrid snarled saying the word chief like it left a bad taste in her mouth.

"I'm going to say this once, so you had better listen carefully. That young man is the future of Berk. I'm surprised he still gives a damn about us but he does. I'm ashamed to say I let my best friend down by allowing her son to be treated the way he has, especially by his father. Well, that's over now. He may be recognized as my son-in-law but he is more a son to me as though I had birthed him myself. He doesn't need parents now as he had to grow up hard and fast in order to survive. Be that as it may, I will make sure he knows that he will always have a parent in me. So, heed my words Stoick; if you cause my son any more heartache, chief or not, I will cut your heart out."

Ingrid stayed in Stoick's face for a few more seconds glaring at him to let him know she meant business before turning and stomping away. Everyone cleared the way for the angry Viking, not wanting her to turn her anger on them. Stoick looked at Sven, but Sven just shrugged his shoulders before turning to follow his wife home.

By the time Hiccup came out of his funk, Astrid had fallen asleep. He couldn't remember removing his armor or how Astrid had gotten into his lap. He looked down at the love of his life and gave her a quick kiss on her nose. He stood up and made his way to bedroom. He placed Astrid in the bed before climbing in himself. He pulled Astrid into his arms and even in sleep, she snuggled into him. Hiccup fell into a contented sleep knowing that as long as he had this woman in his arms, there was nothing he couldn't face.
