Hiccup's POV

It was the evening of the date. I was heading to get ready when I see Fishlegs studying a sleeping Toothless, Snotlout sleeping on my bed and Tuff drooling on my work.

"Guys for the last time-"

"Too late mi amigo, we are going to help. Just accept it as we prepare you for a night that can make or break your future." Uhh.

"Fine, I'm going to take a bath."

"Do you need us to-"

"NO... please. " I ran to the tub in the back of my hut, closed the door and questioned my life choices.

Astrid's POV

"Do I need to wear that?" Heather and Ruffnut were scavenging for a perfect outfit for my date. To be honest, I just wanted to wear my own clothes and go, but they 'insisted'.

While I was sitting on my bed in my blanket as I just washed after a quick training session, I was about to complain, when I heard Heather.

"This is perfect. You have to wear this dress, its beautiful. " She was holding an ugly white dress that was made for my 18th.

"Oh Thor no. That dress is horrible. Its itchy, I have to wear a stupid corset and I can barely breathe in it."

"Pain is beauty Astrid." Ruff stated.

I had enough. I took the clothes I planned to wear and went to the back to get dressed.

"Well, what about..Astrid... where did she go?"

Hiccup's POV

I got washed and changed in my usual armour and clothes, but polished the armour and my metal leg.

"Seriously Hiccup, that's what you're wearing. If I was dating Astrid-"

"SHUT UP SNOTLOUT!"

"Geez Louis I was just giving constructive criticism. "

"It fine Snotlout. But yes I'm wearing this.

"I think it looks great Hiccup." Then Fishlegs pinned a flower on me.

"Ehh what's that?"

"Its a flower from my serenity garden. It symbolises love and I thought it would be perfect for you and Astrid."

"Thanks." When Fishlegs turned away I threw the plant away.

"Alright. My turn." Tuffnut was standing with... yak hair.

"What's that for?"

"Duh chest hair. "

"What..."

"Look H Astrid's a strong badass viking, you should at least try to look manly. And i bet my sister has more hair on her chest. "

"Firstly I'm capable of growing chest hair. I just shave it off cause I don't like it. And i dont care what you guys do but I'm not sticking that on me. that's final."

"Suit yourself." I heard him whisper something like 'your loss.'

I went to pack my bag with the picnic when Fishlegs gave me a bunch of notes. "And what do we have now!"

"Ohh sorry but these are just notes about stuff Astrid's like. Such as information on nadders, fighting, weaponry and warrior stuff. It's so you act clueless in what she says and also shows that your interested in her likes."

But I know all this stuff already. I've been friends with her for nearly 5 years.

"Thank you Fishlegs." I forced a grateful smile and went to pick up Astrid with Toothless, who was also washed and ready with a fresh new saddle for two.

Astrid's POV

I came out of the back and showed the girls my outfit. I wore a red shirt, my usual skirt and boots and black leggings. I also wore the cloth I wrap around my arms and hands. I decided to ditch the armour.

"Its not the worst, but I guess it will do." I felt like punching Ruff.

As I sat down to brush my hair, Ruffnut snatched the brush from me and started combing my hair. Then Heather gave me a bunch of notes. "Ehh Heather what are these for?"

"Oh Fishlegs helped me make notes on Hiccup's interests, like forging, inventing, dragons to help you share his interests." While the thought was nice people have seem to forgotten that I've known Hiccup for years

"Ehh thanks. Now Ruff... whoa"

As I was talking with Heather, Ruffnut braided a head crown around my head while the rest of my hair was down. It was beautiful.

"Wow, I didn't know you were so good with hair, Ruff."

"Theres a lot of things I'm good at, my Heather. Now Astrid, I was thinking, you might want to stuff some yak hair to make your cherries look-"

"RUFFNUT! I'm not doing that. Why do you even have yak hair?"

"Me and my brother bought a bag from a black yak."

I was ready. I heard a knock on the door. I fixed myself and opened the door.

Hiccup's POV

When the door opened I was breathless. Astrid's hair was down and she wore a beautiful red shirt. She had a beautiful braided crown and she was just... perfect. I stared at her for a while till Heather fake coughed to snap me out.

"Hi Astrid hi Astrid hi Astrid," I stuttered. Heather and Ruffnut giggled in the back. Way to go Hiccup.

"Hi Hiccup, you look great."

"I also think you look good." Ruffnut mentioned. My valkyrie glared daggers at her while Heather elbowed her.

"Thank you milady. You also look beautiful. But like your beautiful all the time, not just now." Astrid laughed.

"Ok, so what's the plan Dragon Boy."

"We're going on a moonlight flight. " Toothless pranced down and we got on. We flew into the stars, beginning the perfect night.

At the clubhouse

No one's POV

"Alright guys, I told Hiccup to come to the clubhouse for dinner after their flight. I'm going to make dinner."

"Its not that salt and crusted sea bass, it's a date not a funeral." Snotlout sniggered.

"No... anyway sister you will be their waitress. Fishlegs you will provide music and Heather you will sing cheesy love songs."

"Isn't that a bit weird." Silly Heather.

"Absolutely not. Now get practising."

"Hey what do I do?"

"You dear Lout, will be on patrol in case of hunters."

Everyone stopped and stared at me when I said that.

"What..."

"It's just that... you know what... nothing." Fishlegs mumbled.

"PLAN HICCSTRID IS IN MOTION."

In the skies

Astrid's POV

It was beautiful, just like our first flight.

"You didn't have to do all this for me."

Hiccup turned around, locking Toothless' tail in place, so he could face me. "Nonsense."

We stared awkwardly. I then remembered Heather's notes.

"Hows inventing. Made any new mechanisms or lever designs to calibrate Toothless' tail?" Did that make sense??

"Oh you know, I've tried but the plans haven't well gone to plan"

Hiccup's POV

Talk about fighting "So the new sword Gobber made on Berk is really cool. I totally want to... use it... and fight with it... cause I also like.. sparring."

"Oh yeah it's nice and all but I prefer an axe."

"Yeah me too." Stupid. It was awkward for a while. I dont know why; we've known each other for years and love each other but for some reason this date is a disaster.

"Did the gang freak you out too?" We said in unison.

"Wait, so I'm not the only one acting weird tonight?"

"Nope. Firstly Heather and Ruff told me to wear a dress and look good or you wouldn't want to date me. Then they prepped me on things which you're interested but to be honest, I get bored from the mention of it."

"Same for me. The guys did the same; Fishlegs tried to make things too lovey dovey, Snotlout was being Snotlout and Tuffnut tried to give me chest hair. " Astrid laughed her head off.

"You, with chest hair! Haha Haha!"

We just talked for a while under the stars, when I felt a force and unknowingly leaned into Astrid. She did the same and our lips met. We shared a sweet kiss under the stars... till Toothless shot a plasma blast which we flew through.

"That was nice."

"It was milady. " Then pecked her nose.

Then I remembered about dinner... Tuff was making it.

Our stomachs growled. "so is there any food in this date or are we starving."

"I got a picnic for us to have at the beach." We then soared down to the shore.

In the clubhouse

Heather's POV

Where are they? The twins forced us to dress nicely while dinner was ready. The 'food' was all laid out and Fishlegs was wiping his windpipe.

"I hope they're ok. What if hunters captured them or if they drowned or crashed or got lost or-"

"Fishlegs relax. They must be having fun together." I placed my hand on his shoulder. I wonder if he would take me on a date.

"Uhhggg that's enough. The moon is high and Hiccstrid have not returned. We're going to search for them." Ruff and Tuff stated.

"Or we can just give them space-"

"No. Me and my brother worked our butts off and it shall not go to waste. To the stables!" We all went to get our dragons when Snotlout landed.

"Finally some foo-"

"Not now Snotty we have a power couple to find."

"Uhhhhhhhhhh fine. Get your butt up in the air Hooky. Some people just don't give respect nowadays." While Snotlout complained we went to find Hiccup and Astrid.

At the beach

Astrid's PO

It was beautiful the beach. The moon was full, the stars were up and we could watch the aurora. And uh the food was delicious. Hiccup really is the perfect viking.

"Ehm Astrid. Look I'm sorry that the date was not perfect. Or that it should have had more effort." I stared into Hiccup's forest green eyes

"Hiccup this is the most perfect date ever, at least for us anyway. You and I both know that perfection is impossible -"

"But you're so perfect in every way and I'm, I'm not." He glanced down in embarrassment.

I grabbed his face and planted a kiss, pouring all my love for him and he returned it.

"You are perfect to me. Don't you dare change yourself or I will hurt you."

"Thank you Astrid." We were about to lean in when-

"WHERE HAVE YOU GUYS BEEN. THE SALT AND CRUSTED SEA BASS MUST BE COLD NOW!!"

Hiccup's POV

"Look guys me and Astrid appreciate that you all put this much effort for our date." Astrid got up and walked beside me.

"Its true. We love the fact that you guys care but this is for me and Hiccup, and this is what we wanted. But thanks guy anyway."

"Why didn't you just tell us to back off?"

"CAUSE YOU WOULDN'T" we exclaimed. I grabbed Hiccups hand and we got on Toothless and returned to the base.

Ruffnut's POV

"WELL DONT ASK ME OR HEATHER FOR FASHION ADVICE OR HAIR."

"YEAH AND HICCUP YOU AIN'T GETTIN' THE YAK CHAIR. YOU SHALL BE A HAIRLESS BOY."

"That felt good."

"Your right. Want to go scream in caverns. "

"Of course my dear brother."

"Wait wheres Fishface and Heather?" Snotlout said but we already left him on the beach.

Hiccup's POV

"Thanks Hiccup for the perfect night."

"No problem."

"I love you." We both said in unison again. We then shared a sweet kiss.

"Do you want me to walk you back?"

"I'm already here."

"That's my hut, milady."

"I know," she gave me a cheeky grin and sauntered inside. Well this date just got much better.

"Come here you," I rushed in and closed the door.

Fishlegs' POV

"Wow, this sea bass is not as disgusting as the one we had on vacation." Me and Heather decided to stay out of our dear friends' date and since no one was eating it, we decided to dine.

"I know. I'm surprised that the twins could cook." We shared a laugh.

It was then silent for a while. "Ehm so the date was nice."

"Yeah it was." Heather took a sip of water and I munched on my fish.

"But this one is better." Heather replied and she held my hand.

I blushed madly.

I wonder if we will also work out...
