Honeymoon

...

I've gotten a lot of requests for more stories in my AU world, so here you go!

...

"We should get up." Astrid giggled as her new husband leaned in for yet another kiss. "I mean, we're on our honeymoon. In Hawaii. We should go to the beach or something."

"Exactly. We're on our honeymoon." Smirking, Hiccup ran his fingers through her tousled hair while his free hand caressed her hip. "We're supposed to be enjoying each other."

"But we didn't pay almost three thousand dollars just to stay in bed."

He pecked her lips. "That's kinda the point of a honeymoon, milady."

"You're crazy, babe." Smiling, she cuddled into his bare chest.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled his nose into her hair. "Yeah, crazy in love."

"You're such a dork."

"I know." He grinned and kissed her head. "But that's why you married me."

Astrid let out a small sigh. "I'm hungry."

"We can order room service," suggested Hiccup.

The blonde shook her head. "You can sit inside all day if you want, but I'm gonna go out and something." Holding the covers to her chest, she leaned over the edge of the bed and grabbed her husband's t-shirt from the floor. After slipping on the garment, she climbed out of bed, stepped into her underwear, and began to brush her tangled hair.

"I love how you look in my shirt," he grinned. "You should wear my clothes more often."

"Oh, I will. They're way comfier than mine. And they smell like you, too." Smiling, she made her way over to him and pecked his lips.

He gently took the hairbrush from her hand. "Sit down."

"What?"

"Sit down. I wanna brush your hair for you." Hiccup reached over the edge of the bed to take his boxers from the floor. After putting them on, he sat up and situated himself against the pillows.

The blonde eagerly settled between his legs and closed her eyes as he soothingly brushed through her messy locks. Every so often, he'd smooth them with his hands. He finished the task by kissing the top of her head.

Turning, Astrid cupped his stubbly chin in her palm and connected her lips with his.

"Come here," he said, circling his arms around her waist and drawing her into his chest. A wandering hand moved down to touch her scantly-covered bum.

She eagerly returned the embrace. "I love you."

"Love you more."

"Love you more than more."

"That doesn't even make sense, milady."

A pause followed.

"I gotta shower," Astrid said eventually.

"Can I come?"

She giggled. "I don't think we'd actually end up leaving this room if we showered together."

"And what's wrong with staying in? You're a prettier sight than any beach on this island."

"I don't wanna stay in. I wanna go out and explore."

Sighing, he released his hold on her. "Fine." His voice was full of mock anger.

She made a face at him as she slipped off the mattress and headed into the bathroom.

"Don't miss me too much!" Hiccup called after her.

"You dork!" Astrid responded before starting the water. She then undressed and stepped into the shower. After quickly washing up and shaving her legs, she wrapped herself in one of the fluffy hotel towels and made her way back out into the main portion of the room.

"Did you enjoy?"

"Mmm-hmm." She grabbed a bikini and slipped the bottoms on beneath her towel, then turned her back to her husband so she could put on the top in somewhat of a private manner.

"Hey, I've already seen everything," he said.

"And?" She walked over to him, holding the strings of the top in her hands. "Mind tying this for me?"

"Mmm, I'd rather just take the whole thing off."

"Come on. Be serious."

"Serious. Gotcha." Hiccup tied the strings in a bow, then grinned as he looked his wife up and down. She was gorgeous. And the best part was that her bikini wasn't too skimpy like the bikinis other girls so often wore. The bottoms completely covered her bum, and the top was cut so as not to show too much of her chest. Those parts of her body were only for him to see, and he liked it that way.

"Is something wrong?"

"Quite the opposite." He grinned. "You look amazing."

"Thanks, babe. Now, go get yourself ready so we can head out."

...

The newlyweds laid their towels out on the fine sand. This was it. Lanikai Beach. They'd heard it was one of the most beautiful beaches on the island, and from what they saw, that statement was accurate. The area was silent, the water was clear and blue, and the sand was warm.

"Aren't you glad that I made you leave our hotel room?" Astrid asked.

"I guess so." Wrapping an arm around her waist, Hiccup kissed her lips. "So, are we going in?"

"We should." She grabbed his hand and led him to the water. However, upon feeling its coldness on her feet, she backed away.

"What?"

"It's freezing!"

"Freezing, huh?" Smirking, he lifted her over his shoulder and, stepping into the ocean, gently tossed her into the water.

"Hiccup Haddock, why in the world would you do something like this?" Despite her seemingly angry words, she wound her arms around his waist.

"You said you wanted to go in."

"Not like that!" She playfully splashed him.

"Astrid!"

"You started it, babe." She shrugged.

"Sure, milady. Blame it on me."

"Oh, I will."

The two continued their playful fight in the water for a little while longer. When they grew tired, they returned to their towels and laid down in the sun to allow themselves to dry. Eventually, they packed up and made their way back to the hotel.

"Aren't you glad we went to the beach?" Astrid asked as they stepped into their room.

"Yeah, it was fun. I'm just tired now," came Hiccup's response.

"Me, too." She sighed. "Do you wanna just stay in and watch a movie after we get cleaned up?"

"Sounds good."

"Shower together?" she suggested.

"No." He shook his head before allowing a smile to spread across his face. "Just kidding. Of course I'll shower with you."

Within a matter of minutes, the young couple were standing under the running water, caught up in a passionate lip lock. Astrid's back was pressed against the wall, and her husband's hands were resting low on her hips. Her arms were draped around his neck, drawing their faces closer together.

"Oh, gosh," he moaned as they finally pulled apart.

"Mmm-hmm," she murmured in agreement.

The shower lasted longer than necessary. When it was finally finished, Hiccup and Astrid exchanged smirks while they dried off and wrapped up in towels.

"I'm stealing your clothes," the blonde announced as she made her way out of the bathroom. After rummaging through her husband's things, she found a pair of basketball shorts and a sweatshirt. "This looks cozy," she decided with a yawn.

"Go ahead and wear it, then."

Once the two were dressed, they climbed into bed and turned on Netflix. Astrid curled against Hiccup's chest, her chilly toes pressing into his left leg. Smiling, he kissed her head and pulled up the covers.

"You comfy?"

She nodded and snuggled in closer. Within a matter of minutes, she was fast asleep.

"Sweet dreams," he whispered. Running his fingers through her damp hair, he kissed her forehead. Thoughts ran through his head about how amazing it was to be married. While others his age were struggling to find the perfect one and getting their hearts broken, he had the privilege of waking up and falling asleep beside his new wife every day. They had their own apartment, they had a cat named Toothless, and they planned to start trying for a baby soon after they graduated. Life was amazing.

Astrid stirred and curled a fist around a piece of her husband's t-shirt.

Grinning, Hiccup tightened his embrace and rested his head atop hers. Yes, married life was undeniably amazing. No, it was more than amazing. Maybe even perfect.
