Chapter 5- Flashbacks
"Astrid it's been four weeks when do you consider that he dosen't want to show himself?" Snotlout asked as he got annoyed of Astrid because she walked around like a mad man. Fishlegs and the Twins entered the room.
"Hey guys" Fish said and Snot replied with an simple nod.
"What's going on with Astrid?" Ruffnut asked.
"She thinks that dude who saved our asses a month ago could be Useless" Snotlout replied.
Fishlegs took a seat and the twins followed. "I'm gonna get myself something to eat" and with that Snotlout took off.
Astrid sat besides the rest and then no one said anything. Just silence.
"Guys remember that time we got that new guy in the Armory and then he broke Hiccup's 15k Scope" Fishlegs said chuckling and then the others started to laugh.
"Or that one time when Hiccup snapped at Snotlout and then made him do 50 push-ups in 1 minute and if he didn't made it he had to do it over and over again" Ruffnut said and the group laughed even harder.
"Let's play spin the bottle. On who ever it lands this person has to tell either the best or the worst experience with Hiccup. Are you in?" Fish suggested. All agreed. Fishlegs twisted the bottle and it landed on Tuffnut.
"So the best or the worst?" Fishlegs asked.
"The best. So about a year ago me and him where on a two man Mission" He began but got cut off by Ruffnut. "Hey why don't i know anything about it?" She asked and punched his shoulder.
"Because it's top Secret you dimwit" Tuffnut said and the others shook their heads in disbelief. "Anyways. We got drop off by an Little bird Helicopter...

Operation Dragons Den
"Tuff from now on You need to listen to me no matter what. You get it?"Hiccup said and Tuffnut nodded.
"What do we have?" Hiccup asked.
"We have 2 AT-4's, 3 remote detonated C-4 charges and 6 Grenades" Tuffnut said as he checked his gear.
"I think 3 kg of C-4 should do the job and if not we have our AT-4's which can do our job to just from an bigger distance" Tuffnut said smirking and Hiccup just shook his head. "Let's move" Ordered Hiccup and they went their way to the Objective which was an high ranked General in the Berserk Army.
Hiccup was armed with an FN SCAR MK20 on it an 1x-6x Vortex scope, angled fore grip and an PEQ-15 laser. Tuffnut had an SIG 556 on it an EoTech Holo sight, Tal-4 fore grip and an Peq-15 Laser sight. Both rifles where silenced and both of them used subsonic rounds.
Hiccup pointed at an watchtower where 2 Guards where and Tuffnut nodded. "3... 2... 1..." Hiccup counted down and then each of them fired 2 rounds dropping the 2 Guards.
"Good job move on" Hiccup whispered as he walked on. Tuffnut on his heels.
About 20 minutes of walking they reached their destination. An Bunker complex. Hiccup took his Rifle up and aimed down his scope. "I see that Bastard" Hiccup stated.
While Hiccup scanned for enemy Positions TUffnut prepared the C-4. "C-4 Ready" Tuffnut stated proud. Hiccup nodded. "alright, i'll Cover you and you'll place the charges on the Bunker. Then you come back and we blow that Asshole up. Got it?" Hiccup explained the Plan and Tuffnut nodded. "Okey so you go down there place the Charge while you give me Cover. Right? No this dosen't sound good. Wait" Tuffnut said and Hiccup was fuming.
"No Tuff YOU go down there" Hiccup said angry. "I go down there and then you come and place me on the Charge?" Hiccup Facepalmed.
"Sergeant why isn't that bunker on fire yet?" An voice came from the Radio. Hiccup Cringed but saw as their HVT left the Bunker. "Fuck it i'll take the Shot" Hiccup said and in an Second he was laying on the Ground. He took slow and controlled breaths and then he took the shot. Like in Slowmotion he watched the Bullet as it flew towards it's target. The Berserk General collapsed to the Ground as an cloud of Blood formed around his chest. All the Berserk Soldiers went in Cover and fired in all directions. The Alarm went off and the Bunker complex was flodded with Soldeirs and APC's. Soon Attack Helicopters joined them but when those arrived Hiccup and Tuffnut where on the shortest way Home.
"Stop right there!" an Voice yelled behind them. Hiccup and Tuffnut stopped in their Tracks and slowly turned around to see an lonely Berserk Soldeier. "Sir i got them" He said over his Radio. "Execute one of them and bring the other one here, over" An respond came over the Radio. As the Soldier wanted to point his rifle at Hiccup, Tuffnut pulled his Pistol and shot him in the Face. Hiccup nodded in thanks and they fist bumped and then started Running again. Tuffnut laid some Traps consisting of that C-4 they had. Soon he heard multiple Explosions which put an smile on his face. Hiccup shook his head and smiled too. "Good job Tuff" He said and Tuffnut turned to him in disbelief. "Youi like me" Tuffnut said and Hiccup started laughing. "Ofcorse i like you dimwit you're one of my people" Hiccup said. " Thank you Hiccup" Tuffnut said with an fake cry "and good fuvking Shot you did there" He continued and Hiccup nodded in thanks again.

"Wow Tuff who knew that you and him where so close after what you did to him" Fish said stunned. "yeah i kinda was one of the first he forgave" Tuffnut said proud.
Fishlegs twisted the Bottle again and now it landed on Astrid. "Best or worst Astrid" Fishlegs asked. "i guess i go with the Best" She said.
"So where do i Beginn. About a year ago so around July we started dating" Astrid immediately went red after that. "You WHAT?" Ruffnut asked with wide open eyes. Why did he leave us then?" Tuffnut asked confused.
"I'm about to explain hang on" Astrid said.
Flashback:
"Uhh Hiccup" Astrid called. Hiccup turned around with an slight smile on his face. "Yes Mi lady?" Hiccup asked and Astrid's cheecks burned.
"I... I... i wanted to ask you on a d... d... date maybe?" Astrid asked as she looked to her feet. Hiccup lifted her chin. "I would love to Mi Lady" Hiccup said and Astrid went even more red if it's possible. "When and where?" Hiccup asked breaking Astrid out of her trance. "Uhh... Tomorrow at 7PM at my place?" She suggested.
"Sounds lovely" Replied Hiccup. "See ya then" He said and walked away.
After she came back to her senses the first thing she thought was clothing. "I need a new dress" she said to herself and then she ran off.
Astrid was trying an lovely blue dress which costed 230.-
After she bought it she ran back to her car and drove to her apartment to make everything ready. Even if the Date is tomorrow it's still a lot of work to do.
At the Date evening Astrid had prepared the dinner. The Table was decorated with red candles. She started playing some music and then she just waited for Hiccup.
Somebody knocked at her door and she jumped up. "Hiccup" She said to herself with cheery voice.
"Why hello mi... holy fucking Smokes you look beautiful" Hiccup said with an stunned expression. His jaw dropped to the floor and his eyes widened. She blushed at his comment and then she looked at him. He wore an black suit with an red shirt. His auburn hair in a cute way messy.
They hugged and then Astrid let him in. Hiccup got into her apartment. Astrid pointed at the table where the dinner was ready. He looked stunned. "Wow... Astrid never knew you're capable of something like that" He stated with an smirk. Astrid blushed even harder.
They sat on the table and started to eat. Hiccup moaned do to the food. "Wow Astrid this is delicious" he said.
"Thanks... this is the first time" she said blushing.
"First time for what? Making food?" Hiccup asked.
"First date" she said shyly. "Hiccup's eyes widened. "Really?" He asked.
"Yes" she replied.
They finished eating so they went on Astrid's couch and started to watch an Movie. Not even half way in the Movie and Astrid started to slide closer to Hiccup's side. At the beginning he didn't noticed it until she was really close. He looked over to an blushing Astrid. As she wanted to slide back Hiccup grabbed her and embraced her into a Hug. Suddenly she was lying on his chest with his arms around her. She liked it there was no way to deny it.
The movie got a little hot in the romantic way and the too went closer to each other. Astrid pulled herself to him and he pulled her up to him. Suddenly they where kissing. Minutes later their clothes where off and then the dirty part started.
In the morning they laid naked next to each other in Astrid's bed. She woke up slowly and then suddenly remembered what happened. "I slept with him" she said panicking. She watched to her left and saw him. Laying there peaceful.

"That's why he was so nice to you those months" Ruffnut said and Astrid nodded sadly.
"But why did he left us when you're here?" Fishlegs asked. Astrid shook her head and started crying.
"It's all my fault. Me and 2 friends of mine wanted to watch how he reacts to when an boy is about to kiss me. I regret every single second of that day" she said between her sobs.
"What happened exactly, Astrid?" Fishlegs asked.
Astrid inhaled and then exhaled loudly.
"I was with an boy and an girl. Both friends of mine and the boy was actually kinda jealous because he wanted to go out with me. He knew me more that Hiccup did he said. He brought that idea and i still don't know why i listened to him. But anyways he said that we should test him. Test his loyalty he said. So we went out. Me and Hiccup and then we would meet up with the two friends.
So we met with the guys and the friend started touching me. I never said he should touch me or something but i thought this was part of the plan to make Hiccup jealous. I saw Hiccup's face to go sad as i didn't do anything against the touches. This broke my heart and i wanted to stop him but then he tried kissing me. I felt how his arms went of me as i saw Hiccup punching him in the face. Hiccup threatened him and dared him to touch me again. I went to Hiccup and tried to calm him but he was beyond furious. Hiccup started to ask me why and all and then i couldn't hold it anymore and i told him what we where doing. Hiccups face fell and it broke my heart. I said sorry and tried to talk to him. The last words he said that day where ~thank you for trusting me Astrid~ He spat Astrid like it was an name he hated. Hiccup stomped off and i didn't see him the rest of the week. It broke my heart and i cried hard. Until he came back to work but he wasn't like always. Cheerful, optimistic and happy over all. He looked broken, like he didn't sleep for days. He didn't even look at me as i greeted him" Astrid said and broke into tears again.
"Ooh yeah i remember. From there on he treated us like an actual squad leader and not like friends" Tuffnut said.
"Astrid he is loyal to an Faction which didn't even want him, just because he was an Hiccup. And you thought he wasn't loyal to you... someone who actually wanted him" Fish said in disappointment. Astrid nodded and broke again into tears.
"I know and i still don't know why i listen to that mutton head"
