Chapter 1 - My 6'1 Secret Boyfriend

(September 2020)

Time, it was a curious thing, like when you have an assignment due in, time seems to run to quickly, you feel as you are running out of it when you need it most. But now, staring at the clock on the apartment wall and constantly clicked on the phone screen to check the time and messages, and constantly filling up a coffee cup, time seemed to be dragging, each second taking its time, and if anyone knew her, Astrid was an impatient woman.

She looked out her window for the fifth time in the past 2 minutes, it was raining out, had been for weeks, but it was September and from what she now knew of Berk, it rained 90% of the time, the rest it just snowed, but what did she know? she had only been living in Berk for two years now, just started her third year and final year now at the university of Berk. The apartment she shared with her best friend Ruff, who was currently in her room getting ready to leave for her date and was the reason Astrid was watching time tick slowly by, was in a beautiful high rise, they were lucky to get it, ruff inherited money of her late grandmother and Astrid, well she had come into a bit of money herself, a gift more like, and it was located in the south west side of Berk, five minutes away from the university.

She loved her view, looking out onto the city, especially at night when the lights turned on, she was fortunate considering her past. To think five years ago she was in a completely different place, it's amazing what time can do.

Her roommates door opened with a bang and in walked a heavily made up Ruffnut all ready for her date to the living room where Astrid had sat for the past hour.

" you sure you don't want me to stay?" Ruff asked, and even though she meant well when she asked this, and Astrid had no doubt that her friend would stay if she had asked, Ruff was extremely excited for this date, and plus, Astrid had other plans.

" no, you go, get out of here, get lucky" she finished off her cold coffee before joining ruff in the conjoined kitchen.

Living with Ruff was always easy, but she was very nosey when it came to Astrid, and hiding stuff from her was difficult, extremely difficult.

" right okay then, don't wait up for me then, I'll probs spend the night at his so you'll have the whole night to yourself" but not impossible.

See Ruff has been dating this new guy, one Astrid had yet not to meet but she didn't mind, nor did she push. But when Ruff was focused on that and not Astrid, Astrid got a bit of alone time to herself.

" okay, well be safe, wear protection and remember you don't have to do anything you don't want to" the cup was placed in the dishwasher while Ruffnut got her bag ready, sniggering under her breath. Astrid hated it when she did that, she was just making sure her friend was safe and Ruff always laughed about it.

" that's cute Astrid, but if you don't mind i won't be taking the advice of a virgin" she threw her bag over her shoulder while Astrid nearly dropped her glass as she pulled one out of the top cupboard. She wasn't even going to try and respond to that, she knew Ruff though, she knew she had been sipping on that bottle of vodka in her room and when her roommate got tipsy, she got bitchy.

Meanwhile Ruffnut strutted her stuff over to the draws near the door, top left, emergency supplies, or as ruff called it the 'get lucky' draw.

" hey Ast? Did you re-fill on some new packs of condoms?" She slipped a few in her bag as she questioned her roommate. Astrid however was too busy gulping down her water she had just filled up.

" cause if you did, girl I owe you. I was running out" she giggle as she grabbed her keys from the side.

And breath, " err yeah, was just looking out for you, any roommate would do the same." The glass was placed down on the counter top, the sound of crashing rain getting louder as Ruff walked over to her, wrapping her arms around the blonde and kissing her cheek leaving a perfect outline of her lipstick.

" love you" her phone pinged from her bag as Astrid rubbed her cheek repeatedly to get the read stain off her cheek.

" my ride is here, I'll see you tomorrow" and with a quick wave she was out the door, skip in her step as she made a run for the elevator. Astrid didn't know who this mystery boy was but he seemed to make Ruffnut grin like a teenage girl so she was happy for her friend.

Reaching for her phone she sent a quick text and then placed it on the counter. She met ruff on the first day of uni, she and her were in halls together and even though she could have ripped that blonde hair out of her head, Astrid did love Ruffnut, every dysfunctional part of her.

And that's why she always checked on her friend whenever she went out, making sure she was safe and took care of herself. Ruff was like the sister she never had but always wanted and even though they bickered over the slightest things, she loved ruffnut with all her heart. Her phone pinged soon after she sent that previous text, looking down as her phone screen lite up.

That's why living with her made it so easy, this was her third year of living with her best friend and she could honestly say living with her had made University a better experience. Moving from the main land to Berk has been at the grace of her anonymous benefactor giving her a grant to be a photography student and getting her life together. Ruff had been the reason for her to be introduced to their group of friends, her and Ruff were the only two girls. The rest was Tuffnut( Ruff's twin brother, he's twice as mad as Ruffnut on a good day) and then there was Fishlegs ( geeky chubby little fella, but he was all heart really, and he had the brains of course) you couldn't forget about little Bearcub ( or Bear as he kept telling everyone, lovely lad, always hopeless in love but he was just enjoying life like any other student) and finally Thuggory ( or Thug for short, he basically saw himself as gods gift, that's why whenever he tried it on with her she'd shut him down.)

She quickly replied to the message before placing the phone down completely and then started to sort out her apartment. She kept herself to herself mainly, when ruff wasn't putting her nose into her business, Astrid would mainly stick to her own things, like getting a job or even dating. She loved her friends dearly but her business was her own and didn't feel the need to tell them till necessary.

Her heart seemed to quicken at the thought, with her roommates little fling going on Astrid had seem to pull it off without her even noticing it. Which wasn't without extreme difficulty since ruff was an expert at being nosey. But it was a thrill to hide things from her friends, in the nicest way possible, just having something of her own, as everyone else can have their secrets why couldn't she.

Time seemed to quicken now as she rushed around her apartment cleaning up the mess her roommate would leave her to deal with. However she didn't really blame her as such, for all Ruffnut knew Astrid was spending the night curled up on the sofa with a plate full of curly fries and watching reality tv till her eyes started to drop.

The door knocked three times, firm and steady, making her hesitate with dirty dishes in her hands as she stood in the kitchen area, " shit" where was time now when she needed just a little bit more of it. The dishes were thrown in the sink and would have to stay there until she could get back to them, the state of her apartment wasn't bad but could have been better, however she'd come to the point where it didn't matter anymore.

The only thing that stopped her from opening her apartment door was the single lock, it was an automatic lock whenever the door closed, could only be opened with the lock on her side or a key on the other. She turned the silver lock to her right till she headed the click, then slowly pulled the door towards her, opening it wide.

She didn't know why she held her breath, she knew exactly who was at the other side. Stood tall, leaning against the door frame as she pulled her door open, eyes fixed on her. He took her breath away, but she's never tell him that otherwise he'd never let her live it down. Ever.

His auburn shaggy hair captivated her as much as his green emerald eyes, the way it hug around his head and face perfectly just made her want to run her fingers through it. And his jaw that shaped his face was sharp and clean, little stubble adding definition to his face and neck. She was already licking her lips with the memory of kissing it. He was a slim and slender man by the way he looked in his tailored suit, but underneath that tie and shirt was a lean, toned body she was now very familiar with. And that memory was very vivid right now.

" you just gonna stand there looking at me? Or can I come in milady?" His side smirk would have been so sexy if it hadn't been for the fact that he was showing his dorky smile just a little.

" what makes you think I was looking at you dork" her tease was like the rest, short with a little minor insult at the end, in a way it was her way of showing affection. Stepping to one side she stood watch as Hiccup stepped in front of her.

" oh I don't know, maybe it's because of the drool " he pointed to the corner of her mouth making her doubt herself for a second and checking if he was right. But before the tip of her finger touched the corner of her mouth, he kissed her, swiftly, smoothly, closing the door behind him as he wrapped his arms around her waist. She waited for the click before melting back into him, letting everything just melt into familiarity.

He pushed her back towards her counter that was part of the kitchen, letting his hands wander familiar territory. " I missed you" he hummed through his musky tone trying not to break away from her. Until she pushed him back for a breather, his scoff didn't go unnoticed.

" you saw me last week?" Hands run up his shoulders to the back of his neck, smiling smug as she knew he was wrapped around her finger.

" and I can't miss my girl no matter how long it's been?" He kissed her again, not caring for a reply as he didn't want one, he just wanted to kiss her again, feel her again, make her moan his name and giggle under his touch. She missed him too but by the gods she wasn't gonna tell him that.

" now I never said that " she jumped up and wrapped her legs around his waist and on instinct Hiccup seemed to support her weight by holding his hands under her thighs and bum cheeks.

He shifted her slightly, holding her higher so her weight balanced with his, that way he could walk faster when he carried her into her room, closing her door with his one foot. With a slight stumble they fell to her bed, she had gotten used to his clumsiness, he had only one leg after all, she had learnt all about his little accident, he was 17 and one of his school mate was drunk, car accident due to drink driving costed him his leg, he now rarely drinks because of that.

" careful! I don't want to have to explain to ruff why my beds all of a sudden broken" teasing him was second nature to her now, it was like the mould the former their relationship. He climbed on top of her grabbing her arms that were at the side of her up near her head.

" no but I'd love to hear you try and explain it " his smirk disappeared between her neck and jaw, kissing up her throat and hearing her hum as she closed her eyes.

" sorry you don't get the luxury of that" their fingers started to intwine together, squeezing them together as his lips wondered the territory of her neck, kissing the soft smooth parts he'd become very much in love with. It was very rare they could get to do this without any questions, ruff wasn't one for secrets unless she was the one keeping them. And Hiccup was a young billionaire who was a bachelor too, owning his very own energy company that had a business management program through the Berk university. He was on the headline of most magazines and was well known, it still made Astrid laugh at the fact it took her so long realise who he was. Their time together was limited, they only had themselves to blame as it was their choice.

She took off his suit jacket first, it was annoying her, and then his tie went next, it would have been so sexy if she could have gotten it off swiftly, but she ended up getting it stuck when she tried to get it passed his mouth. " oh shit sorry" she couldn't contain her laughter as she pulled it from his mouth and over his head.

" one job" his lips were back on hers, kissing her again and again " mmh sorry" her apology was muffled by his mouth moving with hers but not that it mattered, he'd get his proper apology soon enough.

She'd started with his shirt buttons first, eager to get it off as she'd become a pro now at unbuttoning them in the matter of seconds. His hands would then lift up under her top, running up her ribs to her comfy sports bra, he pushed further, the top being pushed over her head and and thrown to the ground by Hiccup, his long arm managed to snake back around his girl again, making her giggle by the way his fingers stroked her skin. Her laugh was muffled by his mouth still, as they continued to lock lips together, and they still didn't separate when she pushed off his white shirt from his lean shoulders and down his arms, discarding it over to where her top lay. His lips then began to move, along with his hands, as he kissed the corner of her jaw and the side of her neck, his hands moved up her ribs again and landed on her sports bra clasp. She didn't need to keep her eyes open, now as they fluttered shut she could feel as his hands and lips moved together, like fire on her skin. The clasp pinged free and was ripped from her chest and his mouth moved quickly around her collarbone, and down her chest, kissing the soft delicate parts of her body, it made her toes curl and her back arch.

It was remarkable what he could do with his mouth, he was soft when he needed to be, and rough when he wanted to be, he never pushed her boundaries and he never crossed the line. However he knew how to rock her world just when she needed him too. " you wanna speed this up, I've waited all week for this" her thighs came up on either side of his hips, pressing them a little. She wouldn't say she was needy, but when she wanted something, really wanted something, she wouldn't let anything get in her way.

Hiccup knew this already, he'd figured it out from the moment they met, as he dragged his lips down her stomach, dreadfully slowly so she knew he was teasing her, his mind would run with thoughts on how he was gonna make up for lost time. Not seeing her for days on end may not seem like much, but he was captivated by her, loved her like no other, and he loved to make her thrive in his presence, loved to see her like this, loved to see what he did too her, cause in his head she deserved the world.

He deliberately stopped at the waist band on her sports shorts, looking up at her with those gorgeous green eyes, she was panting embarrassingly too much by this point as she looked down at him. His smirk was contagious, she reflected it as he spoke to her, " patience milady, I'll make it up to you, don't you worry " he giggled a little before kissing around her waist band.

He lifted his head up, motioning her to lift her hips up too with his hands, and of course she did so without question. He hooked his fingers around her the elastic waistband, dragging her underwear with them, all that was left were her white fluffy socks, but she could kick them off herself, feeling the cool air on her naked body she was suddenly feeling very bare compared to her other half who still had his work trousers and shoes on.

" This is getting a little one sided babe" she gestured to herself and them him, who was smug about the fact he had the upper hand, stupid hormones and sex drive, she'd let him take control. " fair game, you wanna do the honour or should I ?" He held his belt that held his pants up, he was already kicking his shoes off behind him when she shot up, knocking his hands out of the way. Her eyes were concentrating as she unbuckled on his belt, pulling it from his pants and throwing it to the floor, " take that smirk off your face haddock" he didn't even realise he was smirking but he liked to see her concentrating he thought she looked cute when she was.

Shimming out of his trousers and boxers without saying another word, but he still held that smirk on his face. " I said take that smirk off your face " she giggled nervously as he pushed her down back onto her bed. " what smirk? This smirk" he did it again before kissing her, slowly, taking his time as their bare skin pressed against each other, feeling her nod against his lips but still wrapping her arms around her neck so he wouldn't pull away without her consent. And yet all of a sudden she unwrapped her arms and pushed him back by his chest. " what?" He questioned as it was her who seemed so eager before.

" Did you bring your own this time or do you need me to provide again" he knew what she meant, that smirk on her face said it all. Smug.

" I brought my own, cheeky" he reached on the floor to where his suit jacket hand been tossed, and rummaged in his jacket pocket. Ruff had been right, she had stocked up on condoms when she hadn't noticed, but it wasn't for her friend even though she made it out like it to her, but it was for her own benefit when her fella didn't bring his own.

He came back down to her after he was fully protected, " you are never gonna let me live that down are you" he slotted between her legs comfortably, like he was made to stay there. " nope" she dragged out the 'p' before moaning when pushed inside her, throwing her head back into her pillow. Her fingers slipped into his and she was pushed deeper into the bed by every thrust he made, he was in ruffnuts words "a sex god" before him she had no one to compare him too, but listening to ruffs opinion, Hiccup hit all the points in a woman's body. However he was 5 years older than her, 5 years more experience, and even though she hated the idea of him being with anyone else but her, she secretly thanked him for it as he knew how to hit all the right spots in her, he'd find the right spots without her even knowing about it. He knew her body better than she did.

His lips moved with hers on sync, their hands were squeezing together as they interlocked their hands together, her legs raised higher giving him more room to move, she then locked her ankles around his waist, a move she had called her own, as he knew she always did that when she was close. So he moved quicker, deeper, hitting those spots twice as fast and twice as hard, making her face screw up in a cute facial expression as she held on for as long as she could.

They had this game they played with each other, seeing who could last the longest, he would always loose but he blamed her and those hands running through his hair and back of neck. And just as he was thinking about his her free hand would run through his thick auburn hair and down the back of his neck, like clockwork.

She collapsed first, fingers locking in his hair and squeezing his hands, and gasping into the crook of his neck, she didn't know what had changed, if it was cause they have been apart for a few weeks but he was quite smug himself when he finished just after her.

" shut up" she smiled but in her own way was slightly pissed as she rolled over onto one side and her same sliding down behind her, spooning her in his arms.

" I didn't say anything " he even sounded like he was smirking, and him kissing that spot behind her ear that sent shivers down her spine was a definite give away.

" you were thinking it" holding her tone and not giving into him as she was still panting from their previous activity. She could hear him scoffing before peppering kisses all down her neck.

" I was thinking about how much I love you" now was her time to scoff as his kisses worked their way up to her cheek, placing soft kisses on it. " so what does that make me, near to even?" She knew it, prodding him with her elbow, sharp in the ribs. " ohhh I'm wounded" his snarky giggle only peeved her off more, and then her enveloped her into his arms listening, even though he knew she didn't want to, to her giggling.

" sly bugger, you are no where near even" she couldn't say whether he was or not, they'd lost count after a while, but she still like to hold one over him.

He pushed her back so that her was fully flat on the bed and looking up at him while he still stayed on his side. " I do love you, I love you so much" saying it so genuinely as if she hadn't believed him before. So she returned the smile he gave and wrapped her arms around him, " yes and I love you too, unfortunately" it was a joke he knew too well, but he knew she said it genuinely too, even if she joked about it sometimes. He reached down and kissed her softly like he normally does, showing his affection the only way he knows how.

If only their love and affection wasn't a big secret.

Xx

They sat on her bed as the day went to night, stroking each other's bare skin that was exposed when they were covered in Astrid's blankets. Their fingers would drag up and down sending shivers through each other's bodies, she trailed her finger along his arms and to his wrist where she noticed a new watch placed on arm. " that's new" she admired the very modern watch " looks expensive" she sounded a bit jealous though she did not mean it too.

Luckily for her Hiccup hadn't even noticed and carried on, " yeah toothless chewed my other one so needed a new one, thought I'd try these apple ones my mates go crazy about" Hiccups life, his friends, his social side was way out of her league, but he had a way to make her feel involved but not out of her depth.

" bloody dog is costing me more than he was worth" he had a jet black Labrador who was 5 months old, she first met toothless when he was only 10 weeks, but now he was grown and was becoming destructive.

" but he's the cutest puppy" she was right, he had those big eyes that would melt your heart.

He pushed her down onto the bed and kissed her nose, " you wanna keep him then?" He was joking of course, he would never give Toothless up, he loved that puppy probably more than he loved her.

" you'd never give him up, you love that destructive puppy more than anything" as the moonlight shined through her window she reached up and kissed his lips only for a short while, before falling back into her sheets.

" well not more than anything, you are up there on top tier" he fell down beside her, keeping the warmth between them as the thunder clouds started to form outside, Astrid loved it when it rained, when she could hear the rain outside and she was safe inside her warm room.

" well I'm glad, now how about a glass of water for the girl who is at top tier?" She was pushing her luck, but he was wrapped around her finger, so when she smiled at him and batted her eyelashes, she could only rejoice when he began to get up.

Sliding himself off the bed, bare butt and everything, picking up his discarded boxers and placing them on while she lay in her bed all cozy and warm. " you know if your roommate comes back and sees me in my boxers, you will have to come up with some marvellous excuse"

Her cheeky smirk only grew as he got to the door " oh it will be so worth it"

Xx

The storm had settled and night had become day, now the early morning sunlight filled the island that was Berk, it was smaller than the mainland but it held its own. It held so much history, yet was full of modern design, it was so beautiful and yet held a dark side with its past when vikings lived here.

As a photography student Astrid loved the beauty and dark side of lots of things, the earth, the scenery, the people. Hiccup had a dark and beautiful side to him, he was aggressive when she asked him to be, but then soft and sweet. He liked to paint and draw though he never showed her the final masterpiece, he was shy about his work, never really opened up about what's inside his head, this image he had to portray of a rich, handsome billionaire manager of all those people who worked for him. He had so much responsibility and in reality he was only young, she never asked why he had such responsibilities, never felt it was her place.

His arms wrapped around her as she stood on her small balcony that was connected to her room. Stood as the autumn breeze sent a chill through her body, for after her shower she still had damp hair and was in her bath robe. He too was still damp from the shower and he only had a thin towel that covered his lower half. She had no clue how he could stand there in just a towel, but then again he could understand why she was stood out here alone in the cold.

" coffee?" he handed her a mug of freshly brewed coffee he'd obviously made her, without her knowing he'd been watching her while she stood outside and being the marvellous man he was he decided his girlfriend deserved a morning brew.

" thank you" he watched as she took the coffee in her hands and wrapped her fingers firmly around it, taking as much warmth as possible. He proceeded to wrap his arms around her, making sure she stayed warm.

" what are you thinking about?" he was curious on what was inside her mind as she was about his.

" nothing much, just - thinking about what I'm gonna do after uni" his breath, breathing hot air at the back on her neck.

" well what I've learnt from you is that you always know who you are, and you always have a plan" he kissed her cheek before leaving her to go back inside. He had only a towel protecting him from the cool air after all. Plus what she didn't know was that he had a freshly brewed coffee inside himself, and Hiccup didn't take advantage of a hot coffee.

So she followed him inside, knowing that she'd be bored on her own, with him sat happily on her bed, coffee in his hand smiling smugly back at her. " you seem so confident in me" she placed her cup on her bedside table, noticing his eyes never left her as she stood in front of him.

" milady, I have full confidence in you, cause I know you" his narrowed eyes and him hiding that smirk of his got her guard up, and she was willing to test the waters.

" oh really, and what is it that makes you think that you know me so well" testing him like this kinda made her skin tingle, especially he leaned forward, placing his own mug on the bedside table and resting his elbows on his knees.

" I know you've had a hard time, I know you put all your effort into what you love, I know when you set your mind to something you get it done," Her heart skipped a beat, " and I know you are thinking about the quickest way to whip off my towel" he leaned right back again resting on his hands now, and he was pushing his luck with the smirk he was shining at her.

" why you cheeky bastard " giggling she jumped on his lap and started hitting him, she might have considered whipping off his towel to prove a point, but they heard a door bag from outside, and two voices laughing quite a lot. " oh shit!" Shooting off Hiccup lap quicker than she jumped on she ran to her bedroom door, leaving Hiccup much to his disappointment and yet intrigued to see what was happening.

It was Astrid who opened the door, slowly, edging it open only a little to peer through and see who the intruders were, " who is it?" Hiccups whispers behind her ear, " shh" she shut him up so she could focus.

From what she could see it was Ruff for sure, in the outfit she left in last night and she wasn't alone, she had a man with her, bulky from what she could tell, but she didn't see a face before they entered her bedroom in the far corner. She carefully closed the door trying to make as little noise as possible, before rapidly turning to her boyfriend.

" okay you need to get dressed, quickly" he had no time to think, she was already throwing him his clothes he had left discarded on the floor, to quickly for him to catch them all.

" Astrid, Astrid! Slow down" he started to slip is shirt on while she got his shoes in her hands.

" Hiccup please" She made it easier for him, laying it them out on her bed for him.

" okay, okay" he hurried along not wanting his Mrs to get to agitated, but of course he wasn't an animal, his shirt had to be tucked in and his tie had to be fastened.

" okay come on, I think she's taken him into her room. Nows our chance" she was still stood in her robe, barefoot and looking through the gap in the door.

" mission impossible via Astrid Hofferson" he may joke about it, even tease, but he found her sexy like this, like she could conquer the world in bare feet.

" shhhh" she opened the door fully without a sound, then quietly tiptoed our into the kitchen dinner, living room of their apartment, the door was to the left of Astrids room, and was a quick few steps to get too. She of course dragged Hiccup with her, straight to the door hoping to get him out before her roommate saw her idol in her living room.

Once he was out the door and officially out of her apartment he turned back to her, that snarky Hiccup smile lay on his lips. " call you later"

" you better" before giving him a kiss goodbye and shutting the door in his face without saying another word. She was playing with fire and he was definitely gonna make sure she got what she deserved.

" who was that?" Nearly shooting herself out of her skin as the voice beside her came from nowhere, looking to her right to see Ruff peering from her bedroom door.

" fuck ruff, you trying to give me a heart attack?" She walked away from the door, hoping it would distract her roommate from anything suspicious.

" sorry, who was at the door?" Should have known ruff wasn't an idiot.

" err no one, I heard a noise and went to go look" she was lying threw her teeth and she was sure her friend knew it. Ruff was smart and could tell if her friend was lying.

" oh okay, well I'm going back to sleep" or not. But then maybe there was something else on friends mind, like the certain guest she brought back to her apartment. Her friend was many things but when it came to a man ruff over looked things.

" oh sure is that what you call it" she'd always tease Ruffnut on her pickings of men, over the time she and ruff had lived together ruff had brought many men with her home, and each time Astrid would always make sure she was safe, used protection and most of all tease her about it.

" oh shut it Hofferson, I ain't taking the shit of a girl who doesn't know the feeling of pleasure," she walked to her door and opened it, " cause once you have, well it's satisfying" disappearing to her room, behind a locked door. And once again Astrid was left with the humour that was her roommate, who still thought her friend was an innocent blonde. She had to laugh, for if her friend knew of the company she kept in her room, she was sure she'd be in for a cat fight.

" don't I know it."

Xx

" so what you doing now"

He made it sound so sexy and naughty even through the phone, trying his best to make her nerves set aflame no matter where she was. They'd been calling since Saturday night, while Astrid spent the Sunday staying away from Ruff's room after Hiccup left, tidying up the mess that was left for her the day before, Hiccup spent the day in the office. It couldn't be said that he didn't jump right into his work, he'd spend more time in his office than at home, and even though the stress of work was hard on his shoulders, he did love it. Hiccup always told Astrid he loved his business management course when he went to university, it's how they got into the conversation when she added her friend was taking the same course. He never told her how he came to take over his family business, never spoke of his parents much either, but she would never pry, never ask, and he'd thank her for it many, many times.

Now at the beginning of a new week, it was becoming more real that their summer romance was no longer a summer romance, Astrid would start back for her final year in exactly a week, and the big question was, would their relationship survive now. They loved each other, that was certain, but it wasn't a boy meets girl situation, he may be five years older than her but Hiccup was a business man, a man who was an major idol in Berk. Anyone who was born and raised in Berk, the Haddocks were known as 'royalty' they were the founders of Berk, back when vikings lived here they were the chiefs, the rulers, now they were like the landlords of the island, anything in Berk came from the permission of the Haddock family, and she was dating the son or heir more like to the Haddock family now.

Still now she had no idea who the Haddocks were, she only knew Hiccup, the sweet man who made her heart flutter, take her breath back and her skin set aflame. And he wasn't this guy who looked down on her either, doesn't matter what he does for a living and what she was doing now, he just saw her for her, the same way she saw him for him.

The bump of the bus brought her back to reality as it would seem she went off in a daze and left Hiccup wondering where she went.

" hello?"

Moving in her seat of the damp bus she re-adjusted the phone in her hand and moved her food shopping with the other, she hated the bus, but she was on student living and was taking what she could.

" yeah sorry, I'm still here, just thinking"

They hadn't spoke about her going back to uni, not really, they just hovered on the idea of it but embraced the fact they were in their own little world.

" thinking about something else other than me? Should I be jealous?" His joke was just that, a joke, he may have been paranoid as a teenager but she'd made sure that all doubt was put to rest, as much as he did the moment they met.

" no, anyway if you should know I'm sat on the most horrendous bus that smells like toothless' vomit and I've got about a thousands bags of shopping, sound sexy to you?" He has to laugh at the vomit part, how it was his idea once to do a summer picnic at his house and then his adorable little puppy proceeded to vomit in her lap.

"Any situation with you in it is sexy milady" again her heart skipped a beat, and suddenly she was no longer on that god forsaken bus, but somewhere else. "

So the reason I called you wasn't to ask what you are doing today -" he would have continued but Astrid stepped in as usual.

" oh really, well how rude"

He chuckled, " no, what I was gonna ask was what you doing on Friday and do you wanna spend the night?" Spending the night at Hiccups wasn't uncommon to her, she knows his house inside and out. But it had been a lot easier for the both of them in summer, Ruff was with family after the death of her poor sick grandmother and Hiccup was out of the public eye since the university term had ended. He was an ambassador of university of course, and paid a lot towards the business management program.

But now the term of year three was starting and her roommate was home and now Hiccup was back in the eye of the public, paying into the big pot of the business management funding. Them meeting up was about to become a lot harder.

" sure, I'm already thinking of an excuse to tell my roommate now, what time shall I be there?"

" I'll text you the details some other time, I have a board meeting, love you" it was short and sweet but that's all it took to make her stomach flutter.

" love you too" she hung up the phone and hoping she'd be off that damn bus that was getting more disgusting by the second.

Jealousy wasn't really a thing Astrid liked, and while Hiccup could say he'd never seen that side of her. But he knew, sometimes when he looked at her, she felt out of depth, it was eating her up inside, she'd never had anything like this, a home for a long time, so sometimes, on her darkest lonely moments, she would shamefully feel jealous.

And she was definitely jealous of this sofa, it was comfortable enough to sleep on, big enough for two people to lay on.

After a long week of waiting, Friday finally came and Astrid had to make the awful disaster of an excuse to her roommate, so she said she'd be meeting with one of her friends from her marathon society before uni started up again.

And here she was lay on his couch, both on them under the thick blankets hiccup provided, still out of breath as they lay naked on his lovely sofa. Yes the one Astrid was jealous of, for it was extremely comfy.

" I officially hate this sofa" she snuggled in closer to his chest, dragging her finger along his bare shoulder blade as she felt his arms wrap around her.

" what's so bad about my sofa?" He turned to his side, at this angle he was looking down at her as she still stayed cuddled into his bare chest, little kisses were placed around his nipple, a very sensitive area for him.

" it's so comfy" she moaned deeply falling more into his arms, " my bed is like cardboard compared to this sofa" she snuggled herself in more, taking in the comfort of it.

" that's no excuse to hate my sofa " he ran a finger, with his free hand down her face, as she giggled into his skin.

" so what did Ruff say about you leaving tonight?" Her face changed when he asked, from being all happy and giggling, she went to a very guilty look.

" I hate lying to her, she's my best friend" the thought of lying to a person she loved so much, a friend that stood by her, she felt sick to her stomach, it would be like lying to Hiccup now.

" you know my thoughts on it all, I wanted to tell everyone about us" she knew this to be true, he'd voiced his opinion about this from the beginning. " it was you who asked to keep this a secret" that was true too, with uni and the fact Hiccup was an ambassador she didn't want people knowing, she didn't want her friends knowing, or the press, she'd be mortified if her name came up in a magazine, that's the last thing she would want.

" I know, but now-" pausing she left Hiccup thinking, was she willing to open up about their relationship? Or did she want to end it?

" now what?"

But it was her who was thinking where their relationship continue when she starts back. " what happens when I go back uni? Will things change for us? Cause while I'm at uni I don't want people knowing about you and I and I know how you feel about secrets and I don't know how you feel about me - " he kissed her, mainly to shut her up, she had found the habit of rambling, and she got it from him.

" I love you, and I can understand why you wanna keep this to ourselves, and when you are willing then we can come on out with it" he was a sap at the most of times, but he was hers, and no, she wouldn't change him one bit.

" you think you can hold off till after I've finished this year?" It was a big ask that she knew, but he nodded and kissed her head.

" I guess I can hold off till then, I still hate secrets though" that they did agreed on.
