A few weeks had passed since Hiccup and the Dragon riders had definitely left the Edge to come back to Berk. With Johann and Krogan out of the picture, they could finally aspire to more peaceful days. Without resting for a moment, they have decided to deliver classes to Berk kids at the Dragon Academy.
"Here you go kiddos."
"Thank you Snotlout!" the little crowd answered happily while taking back their piece of paper.
"Yeah, that's how it's like to learn with pros…" he said by addressing them his best smile.
Then, turning towards Ruffnut, he added: "They loved me." the blond-haired girl whispered, exasperated meanwhile Fishlegs came to stick his ear in.
"That's it," he replied. "Don't listen to him Ruffnut, everyone here knows that those kids prefer their Uncle Fishlegs as teacher!"
Ruffnut still had troubles with this whole new romance that the two dragon riders felt for her. Thankfully, Hiccup was still there to clear the air.
"Well, when you're done, maybe we can start class…" Hiccup intervened, standing up for others who were getting impatient since a little while now.
"Fine!" the dark-haired boy exclaimed, crossing his arms and getting angry. "Anyway, you all act like that because you're jealous, I know that too well! But yeah, let start class…"
"Thank you," the dragon rider chief conceded.
Training could resume at the Academy. The chief's son announced to the young recruits the rules of the training session. They had decided to set up working groups in the form of rotating workshops. That way, each teenager could teach his best tactic to the students, allowing them to see a big panel of different strategies in the space of only one half-day. Then, Astrid explained to them the importance of a plan in every sensitive operation, and particularly when it came to take action against dangerous and manipulators men like Viggo Grimborn or Trader Johann. She promoted the fact of being alert and prepared for any eventuality in its elaboration because people like them were unpredictable. Meanwhile, the twins were recommending exactly the opposite, saying that you couldn't rely on a plan because it couldn't evaluate all risks. So a little dose of craziness was not too much in those cases. It led to confusion in kids' mind who didn't know who to believe anymore. And Snotlout didn't help matters by telling the kids how to look like him. Fortunately, Hiccup and Fishlegs were there to dot the I's. Fishlegs taught his students concentration techniques to combat stress induced by battles and mostly everything a dragon rider was confront to. Meanwhile Hiccup sought to reassure his apprentices, calling them for always trusting their intuitions.
Hiccup liked to teach. Sharing his knowledge in order to form new dragon riders made him happy. Trainings were also the opportunity to spend good times with the gang and of course Astrid. Since the necklace episode, Hiccup had fully understood that Astrid needed attention. Despite all, that story had drawn them closer and led the young boy to admit his deep feelings to his beloved. Oh Thor knew full well how much he loved this girl but telling her to her face had brought their relation to a level they never expected. Hiccup was really making an effort so that Astrid could feel special. He wanted her to perceive she was the most important thing in the world to him. But he also knew that in this case, acts were louder than words. That was why he decided to cut short her apologies by kissing her like he never did before after told her "I love you" for the first time. It was about being physically closer to her. The ways he touched her cheek or laid his hands on her when he was kissing her were each time a new declaration of love.
During training, they were doing a sort of flirting game. When she was passing by him, Astrid brushed him intentionally. She could also run to him in order to make him fall, so that she ended up on him. The young couple needed to feel the closeness of their bodies, they couldn't help it. Today, the pretty blond-haired girl had put an end to a kiss prematurely. So Hiccup asked her why she would do that and for all answer, she told him to meet her at the Raven Point without adding anything.
Once the classes were over, the young man rushed to his house in order to drop some stuff before going back to his girlfriend. He went up to his room to do what he had to do, and then down the stairs panting to not waste a second. However, he had to face a significant obstacle: his dad.
"Son!"
"Dad…"
"You seems in a rush, you're going somewhere?"
"What? No! I've plenty of time, plenty of time…"
"Great, I was just about to ask you if you could help me to bring that in the Great Hall!" he said by designating the barrels of wine present in the middle of their hut.
Tonight, the village celebrates the 50th birthday of their chief. He showed a lot of enthusiasm to celebrate it after the accident.
"Don't you think it's a little too much?" asked Hiccup, worry.
"On the contrary! It will never be enough! Come on, would you help me already?"
"Do I have any choice?"
They carried all the barrels to the Great Hall, talking about everything and anything. However, the time was passing by and Astrid will be probably worried for not seeing Hiccup coming. Once the last barrel was in the Hall, Hiccup decided it was time to leave his father.
"Okay Dad, it's not that I don't care but I kinda have a date with Astrid, so…"
"What? And you let her wait until now?"
"Uh… Well..."
"So what are you waiting for?! Just go now!"
"O-Okay… So I guess I'll see you later…"
"Just hurry now, there is not such thing as making a woman wait!" the vexing Chief said before sighting for himself "I did not teach him that, did I..."
The young boy run his lungs out to find Toothless for flying directly to Raven Point. He was so incredibly late, Astrid will kill him for sure. Once on the land, he saw a female figure, it was definitely Astrid. He got closer to the girl without scaring her. But she turned her head instantly in his direction, obviously looking upset.
"You're late."
"I know… I'm really sorry," he said lowering his head.
He put his arms around her while giving her forehead a kiss.
"I was helping my father with his birthday's stuff."
"It's okay, you came, that's all that matters," she smiled.
He took her hand.
"So, are you gonna tell me why we're here or?"
The blond girl smiled before focusing with what was around them.
"This is where it all started," she whispered.
She looked back to the brown haired boy.
"Between us I meant. When I found you with Toothless down here, years ago, I didn't know this day will change my life forever. It's also here I kissed you for the first time…" she remembered with a blush. "Now look how far we've come: five years of relationship and engaged…"
"We grew up a lot since then," attested Hiccup with humour.
Astrid laughed.
"Yeah… I remember your proposal like it was yesterday…"
Since the volcano's eruption, the Edge was surrounding by its lava which was almost covering all the island's land. While waiting for it to slow down, the riders got home on Berk. But it didn't stop them from coming back from time to time to see how things were evolving during their absence. The young couple was appointed to do the next patrol that day. Hiccup was getting his stuff when his father joined him.
"Oh Son, I wanted to talk to you."
The young boy swallowed thickly. We can't really say that conversations with his father are his thing. It was even the opposite.
"Yeah sure," he answered him with fireback.
"Good. Come sit."
They sat in front of each other at their usual dining table. Stoick crossed his arms and rested them on the hardwood looking straight into his son's eyes. Meanwhile, the boy looked at everything but at what was going on in front of him, he wanted to be anywhere but where he was right now.
"Hiccup?" called the chief of Berk.
The young adult gave up and get his attention back on his father. "The sooner it's done, the sooner he can go," he thought to himself.
"Yes, what did you wanted to talk to me about, Dad?"
The imposing men cleared his throat before going further in his talk.
"Hum ahem… So… I wanted to talk you about your relationship with Astrid."
Hiccup's heart missed a beat, were they really going to have this discussion?
"You know, when you start to have a relationship with a young girl, you have to take some precautions… I don't really know where you two are at this point but yeah…"
"Dad, please!"
"I'm serious son! You're the future chief of Berk and as such, you have to show the right thing to do."
"I already know these things, Dad!" he interrupted. "What's your point exactly?"
"All I'm saying is, if your relationship lasts in time, you will have to think about the wedding sooner or later."
"Wedding, so that's what he had in mind the all time?" said the son's chief to himself, a little caught off guard. He wrinkled his eyes while scratching his forehead, thinking about what his father just said.
"I understand that it might shake you a little but it's really serious son. Berk expects a lot from you. You will have to give them an heir and…"
"Okay Dad, I think I got it."
"Good, I will not hold you up any longer then."
"Thanks Dad."
The young boy was about to get out when his father called him one last time.
"And Hiccup?"
"Yes?"
"Think about it."
The brown-haired boy sighed before definitely leaving his hut.
…
It was night when they flew over the Edge.
"You think we'll be able to come back one day?" asked a nostalgic Astrid.
"One day maybe," nodded the boy. "But not for now for sure."
"Too bad, I got used to the life we had on the Edge."
"I guess it was inevitable that we had to go back to Berk one day," said Hiccup with a little hint of sadness in his voice.
"Yeah of course. But I hoped that we could stay a little longer. Our huts were much closer on this island."
She finally did put a smile on Hiccup's dark face.
"Aha, true…"
They decided to land next to the stables. Fortunately, the lava was still far from the outpost and since the eruption was not really that bad, they decided to go sleeping in their respective huts. They wished each other a good night before going to bed. However, even being exhausted, Hiccup couldn't sleep. Preoccupied, he thought about the conversation he had with his father about precautions, wedding, chief's duties, heir, all of it. But the word stuck in his mind was: wedding. He had a role he had to assume, and according to his father, marrying Astrid was part of it.
All of this was making his head turn, he needed to empty his mind. He got out of his bed to take some air. Toothless followed him so closely that he made loud noises when he came out of the hut. Hiccup scolded him before sitting on the edge of the stables to contemplate the moon. But he was joined by the blond girl in no time because, like he predicted, the noises that his dragons made woke her up. She sat down next to him while putting a hand on his shoulder.
"Can't sleep, huh?"
"No."
"Something bothers you?" asked the young girl, concerned.
He didn't answer so Astrid tried a second time:
"You wanna talk about it?"
No answer. She decided to stay with him anyway, she felt that he needed someone. The girl looked at what was still standing on their base. She remembered all the good times they had on this island where they moved in with the gang.
"We sure had plenty of good times here, right?" she smiled.
The young man drew a smile.
"For sure."
"This is where we kissed for the first time…" she said, affected.
She paused for a moment.
"Sorry, just getting back here… it makes me kinda sad to think that the place where we had our best moments will probably disappear..."
Hiccup lifted her head up.
"You know, even if the Edge disappeared, I would never forget the moments I had with you. Astrid, you're the most beautiful thing that happened to me… Our relationship might have begun here but it will not stop here and I really hope that it will last for a really long time!"
"Like forever?"
"Why not? I mean yeah, only if you want to…"
"Is that a proposal?" she said, kinda amused.
The rider's heart missed a beat. He thought again about what his father said and stress took him over. Seeing the panic in her boyfriend's eyes, Astrid cut him short in his thoughts.
"Because if it really is, the answer is yes," she continued before kissing him.
Happy but surprised, he asked her:
"Seriously? Because you know we have time, I don't want to rush you with all of that and…"
"I'm more than serious, Hiccup. You know, it's been a while that I think about it and I think you father had a word with you, am I right?"
"How do you know?"
"You're the chief's son Hiccup, people expect a lot from you. And it's been a few years that we are together now. I mean, even if we weren't at the same point we are today, you and me was always pretty obvious, right?" she smiled. "I was just thinking that now we are all grown up and with time passing, maybe it was time to make things official, don't you think?"
Astrid just released the rest of his stress that was stubbornly staying inside him. That's why he loved her, she had a gift for making things easier when it looked so unbelievably hard. He looked at her right in the eyes.
"I totally agree."
After that, everything happened really fast. Hiccup announced his engagement with Astrid to his father who seemed really enthusiastic at the idea of announcing it to all the village. A party was throw up to celebrate their engagement, now official. They had to exchange their vows in front of the whole village in the middle of the Great Hall. In a delay of six moons cycles from the first announcement of their betrothal, ceremonial betrothal gifts must be exchanged.
"So, do you already know what betrothal gift you will give Astrid?" Fishlegs hurried to ask his friend.
"I still have time to find it, don't you think Fishlegs?" Hiccup said, trying to make him stop worrying.
"Let him breath Fish-Face!" Snotlout shouted. "Don't you see that he's got better things to do tonight?"
The gang started to laugh full hearted before joining the rest of the people for taking advantage of the party.
Hiccup stroked Astrid's cheek before seizing the necklace he gave her as his betrothal gift. He fondly looked at it before looking back at her face.
"That necklace… it means that I will always be by our side, Astrid. Don't you ever forget that."
"Don't worry about that, I will never forget," she said before kissing his cheek.
Since the time, she should know that this kind of kiss was not enough for the young boy. Hiccup took her head in his hands for kissing her deeply. He then took her hand and held it tightly in his own.
"It's getting late, we should get ready for tonight," proposed the one-legged boy.
Astrid nodded and both left Raven Point to go back to the village.
…
The party was at its peak when the young girl entered the Hall. The Berkians were talking in little packs, some laughing loudly while others were just listening to the talk. A great banquet had been raised in Stoick's honor. This banquet was really enormous, like the Chief would like it to be. Astrid turned her head and saw Heather in a corner, she went to her. The Berserkers, the Outcasts and the Defenders of the Wings were invited for this special event.
"Oh you're here!" Heather said happily while taking her friend in her arms. "I was looking all around for you!"
"Sorry, I'm a bit late… Anyway, I'm so glad you could you and Dagur could come!"
"And don't forget Mala! Those two can't stay apart since they got married… and guess who is ruling the entire Berserker's island by herself?" smiled Heather smugly.
The two young girls started to laugh. They looked at the newlyweds who were at the chief's side. They decided to go closer to them when they saw Hiccup join his father.
"Congratulations again on your wedding Mala and Dagur," the chief declared as his son and the two young girls were coming.
Once the young dragon riders were here, he added, pointing at Hiccup and Astrid:
"Hoping these two finally decide to take the next step quickly! I want grandchildren!"
Feeling awkward, Astrid started to blush. Meanwhile Heather didn't know where to hide, Hiccup threw a concerned look to his parent. Stoick started to laugh before hitting his son's back. He walked out from the group for walking closer to the platform in the middle of the room for talking to the all crowd that gathered for his birthday. Once their attention drew back to him, he cleared his throat before beginning his speech.
"First of all, thanks to all of you for answering my invitation. It means a lot to me and to Berk and I am really thankful for that. But my birthday is not the only reason for what we are all reunited tonight. That's why I think I should do a little speech about that. A few weeks back, I didn't know if I will live or die and during this time, my son and his friends where out there putting an end to a war. Its thanks to them that we are here today and I think they don't know how much it makes me proud. So I wanted to thank them, for all they accomplished for saving the dragons from the hunters and defeating the evil spirits that were behind all of this. So tonight, let's drink in honor of those young fellas. To the Riders!"
Everybody started to applause the chief's speech. This same chief winked at his son who smiled in return. Despite all of this, he loved his father and even if they were not often on the same page, he cared about him more than he could admit. His speech really touched him and made him remember that life can be holding only by a thread.
The music came back in the Great room. He turned to Astrid for taking his hand and kissing it.
"Would you give me this dance Milady?" he said while bowing before her.
She smiled to him before bringing him in the center of the Great Hall for dancing under the hanging lights. They started to dance shyly but got closer and closer once they were comfortable with it. The young rider even allowed himself to have some inappropriate positions with her. He was holding her waist more than with just a lovely grip, even dared going down with his hands on her butt. It was again a sort of little game between them which they loved to play. They continued teasing each other like this the all evening. And it was so good that when they were talking with the gang, Hiccup put an arm around Astrid who leaned her head against his shoulder without stopping listening to their friends. However, he held her more tightly in a way that they could be even more close, even couldn't get any closer. The blond-haired girl appreciated it and let him know by hugging him against her. They looked at each other more than just with love and it was this precise moment that they forget they had an audience. They were ready to kiss but they were suddenly interrupted:
"Just tell us if we are bothering you?" frowned Snotlout.
"This is incredible!" cut Tuffnut. "What's your problem with doing this every time in front of us?"
"Yeah, just get a room!" agreed Ruffnut.
"I was about to go to bed anyway. Hiccup, you walk me?"
"Sure."
So the two lovebirds left the group without adding anything.
"Am I dreaming, or did they really listen to what I just said?" Tuffnut asked, shocked.
"You have to believe that, sometimes, they listened to your advice," Heather noted.
Once outside, Hiccup cut Astrid in her action.
"Do you really want to go to bed?" he asked, a little confused.
"What do you think?" she replied with a gaze full of innuendo.
They finally arrived to her hut where they began to kiss lankily. Nevertheless, before entering her house, Hiccup couldn't hide his concern:
"But, you're sure my dad hasn't seen us leaving?"
She had a brief laugh.
"Don't worry, given the state he was, he is not likely to notice our absence…"
"What do you mean?"
"When we left, he was dancing and singing like mad with Gobber," she confessed without hiding her amusement.
They broke out laughing.
"Well, I think there's nothing between us now…" Hiccup announced before caressing her cheek to look at her straight in the eye.
They opened the door and Astrid started to kiss him passionately like she never did before. Hiccup showed surprise to Astrid's attitude who was definitely more undertaking than usual. She was indeed very insistent and he finally responded to her ardent kisses. They kissed till their head broke. Hiccup ended up shoving her against the wall, her cheeks between his hands. When they opened their eyes, they found themselves looking into brighter eyes than ever before. They felt excitement.
Astrid invited him to go up to her room but the boy didn't seem comfortable with the thought of entering into the young Hofferson's room. Nevertheless, he also knew that trying to win an argument with her was a pointless exercise. So he followed her up the stairs and they continued to kiss. Plunged in their languid kiss, Hiccup forget everything around him, including Astrid's bed wich was about two steps from him. So it was without paying attention that he tripped on it and made Astrid fall on her bed. He found himself on top of her, a bit embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't meant to…" the young boy sputtered.
The girl started to laugh, before pulling him closer to her.
"Kiss me," Astrid whispered.
So he kissed her strongly, providing all his love for her in this one and same kiss. He continued to kiss her with an equal intensity while letting his hands explored the curves of her body. Passing a hand under her top, he began to caress her back and her hair as he was kissing her on the mouth. The flame that animated these two was not going to fade away any time soon. He was increasingly looking for the proximity of her body and she did the same.
They finally stopped themself for a moment to catch their breath. Hiccup looked at Astrid right in the face like to find an approbation to what he was about to do. She gave him his answer. So he started removing her top and she helped him to take it out in a hurry without stopping kissing him. His gaze looked down to her chest adorned with her betrothal gift. By touching it, his fingers brushed his plump boobs. The young girl moved her head towards his to kiss him again. While pressing her lips against his, Hiccup grasped Astrid's breasts in his hands. He cut off their kiss and began to leave hot kisses on her cold skin. He went down her sides, kissing each part delicately. He wanted to kiss her everywhere. He wanted to know her body in its entirety.
Surrendering to Hiccup's caresses, Astrid could see that she had lost control. So she decided that it was her turn to enjoy her time. She raised his boyfriend's head and started to kiss him passionately, playing her tongue with his. The young girl took advantage of the young man's lack of attention to get her hand down to a very sensitive point of the boy. Feeling the effect she was having on him against her leg, and curious, she touched it with her free hand. Taken by surprise, Hiccup stopped kissing her, squealing. Astrid apologized but Hiccup reassured her:
"It's okay. You can keep going... I mean if you want to... Sorry, forget about what I just said... Hehe, it sounds weird…"
"No, simply sounds normal, Hiccup."
So she started to kiss him deeply. They stood up to find themselves facing each other while kissing tenderly. In turn, Astrid took off Hiccup's top. Her hand caressed his torso from top to bottom until she found what she was looking for. Her hand passed beneath his trousers and she touched the tip of his sex before going down and up. She realized pretty quickly this was what give him pleasure, so she continued while kissing. But Hiccup stopped her by grasping her wrist.
"Astrid…"
"Hum hum…"
She kissed him again, forcing him to let go so that she could loosen his pants' laces to free his erection. She continued her caresses while Hiccup was whispering her name between two whines. She went up faster and faster until her boyfriend moaned with pleasure and wet the sheets. So Astrid asked him if he was okay, a bit surprised about what just occurred. Hiccup burst into laughter. He responded her that everything was fine, taking her in his arms and he kissed her. Then, he looked at her in the eyes and asked with a gaze if he could remove her skirt. She acquiesced so he dropped it in one swift movement. He kissed her one more time and gradually moved down to her neck where he applied some feverish kisses. Astrid let him go, clutching him. Hiccup pursued and, curious, passed his hand on her crotch that he started to caress through the tissue. He ended up putting a hand under her pants, visibly looking for something. He finally found what he was searching and put a finger inside her. Astrid let out a little moan so Hiccup continued what he had started while kissing her neck.
"Hic… Hiccup…"
Their lips found each other while a second finger entered her. Hiccup started playing in her. He took a great delight in making her feel good. Astrid's body was soon flooded with spams, answering Hiccup's touching.
She let a cry come out. As she drew a breath, she sent a smile to Hiccup who responded with an embarrassed face. She knew all that was new to them but she didn't want him to worry. She caressed his cheek.
"Astrid… I…"
"Hiccup stop worrying... it was pretty good actually"
"It was?"
Astrid pressed him against her to kiss his forehead.
"Yeah. Really."
Hiccup raised up to close his trousers, still awkward. She also put her clothes back before taking his head between her hand to kiss him on the lips.
Hiccup responded to the kiss amorously. He caressed Astrid's cheek too.
"I don't want to leave you here but with what you said earlier, I need to go back to the Great Hall and see what's going on…"
"Hiccup, they're big enough to take care of themselves. You can sleep over here if you want to."
Hiccup hesitated for one moment.
"But what if…"
Astrid gave him the death look while pouting her lips.
"Oh nevermind, you're right, I worry too much."
"That means you're staying?" she asked, all excited.
"Are you sure you don't mind what others will think?"
"It doesn't matter. If we want to sleep together, we're totally within our rights," she smiled.
Hiccup smiled back and they lay down on the young girl's bed where they had to sleep tight due to its small size. Hiccup cuddled against Astrid's back and surrounded her belly with his left arm. Astrid put her hand on Hiccup's. He dropped a kiss on her ear before they fell asleep together.
When Hiccup woke up the following morning, that's an upset Astrid who welcomed him.
"Hiccup."
"Huh?"
"Look."
"What?"
Astrid stretched her neck to show what she was talking about to Hiccup. So he followed her finger and put his hand to his mouth when he saw the nasty red stain on her partner's neck.
"I did this?"
"You tell me."
"Wow I'm so sorry Astrid! I… does that hurt?"
The blond whispered.
"No."
"I'm real…"
"Hiccup, that's fine. You couldn't have known but how am I supposed to hide this now?"
Hiccup didn't know what respond on the spot, still displaying a sorry face. He started to think then he offered:
"Well, maybe you could remove your hair?"
"Removing them, it's no."
Hiccup looked at his girlfriend, wondering how to solve the problem. He suddenly had an idea:
"I could braid your hair on the mark' side?"
Astrid's face suddenly lighted up.
"Yeah, good idea!"
So Hiccup curled Astrid's hair so that it fell right down on the love bite in order to hide it. The result was perfect.
"There's nothing left."
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely."
Astrid smiled.
"Thanks Hiccup," she said, kissing him on the cheek.
They hugged one last time before Hiccup went home. When he finally arrived at his hut, his dad was sitting next to the fireplace, holding ice on his forehead.
"Dad?"
"Ah Hiccup! It's you! Where have you been?"
"Yeah about last night…"
"Oh yeah tell me! Because I have no idea of what happened after my speech!"
"You mean you can't remember anything? Like nothing?"
"Absolutely nothing. I think you were right about the barrels of wine, Son!"
This remark made him smile.
"I suppose so, yes."
His dad smiled to him then and they burst out laughing.
