Astrid found herself pacing back and forth, tugging at her loose braid and twisting the stray locks around her fingers tightly. A few feet behind her Toothless sat, watching her with a loving, but concerned expression. He cooed and stretched his head out to nuzzle her arm, stopping her in her tracks. the blonde gave a heavy sigh and laid her hand on his nose "Sorry Tooth, I guess i'm just nervous".
The dragon cooed in understanding and pressed his lips against her skin, a deep rumbling purr echoing within his throat as he slowly kissed her up her arm. Her skin was soft and tasted like the dirt that he had laid her over the previous night and it reminded him of the pleasure they shared, but it seemed to Astrid that there were other things that weighted on her mind.
Astrid gave a small smile before she sighed once again "I have to go talk to him Toothless, I have to tell him what happened and maybe...hopefully, he'll agree".
Toothless gave a small nod as he continued to kiss up her arm and to her neck, giving small purrs and chirps of encouragement. With a quick look around, Astrid quick kissed the dragon, lips molding into his own as the warmth of his lips made her less then pleased to pull away "I'll be right back after I talk to him, wait for me".
The dragon nodded and sat back as Astrid quickly turned and jogged away, leaving their secluded spot just at the edge of the forest and into the village, weaving through the crowd of Vikings and dragons as they shuffled back and forth along the streets. Hiccup's house seemed to loom over her as she walked through the village but she kept her head high and marched on despite the worries that seem to yell within her own mind.
Once she had reached his house, Astrid found him around the back by following the sounds of Stormfly's delightful chirps and purrs. She rounded the corner to see Hiccup smoothing doing her tail spikes, her dragon giving happy squeaks and coos, pushing her scales into his hands, making him laugh.
Astrid cleared her throat and stepped out from her hiding place, her heart beating faster as Hiccup turned to look at her and smiled "Hey Astrid, where have you been? I didn't see you at breakfast".
Astrid brushed her hair out of her face and shrugged "Sleep in a little late, I only just got back an hour again".
Hiccup nodded "Is there something you need?".
Now or never Astrid, now or never "Yeah, I need to talk to you about Toothless".
Hiccup's arms dropped, leaving Stormfly to look disappeared as he stopped petting her, expression becoming worried "Did he do something bad? I haven't seen him since I went to bed".
"No no" Astrid shook her head, holding her hands up to ease his worries "He's fine".
"Oh so you've seen him?".
"Yeah...he came to me last night while I was getting ready for bed".
"Oh?" Hiccup asked, urging her to continue whatever she had to say.
"Yeah, he came to me last night, I gave him a fish and he kept me company".
"Oh well" Hiccup looked pleased, going back to to stroke a very happy Stormfly "That's nice of him, I should give him an extra basket of cod for that".
"Hiccup" Astrid took a death breath, preparing herself for the worst "I want to ask if I can have Toothless as my dragon".
Hiccup went silent, pulling his eyes away from the Nadder to stare at Astrid, smile no longer there. There was a long moment of silent that made the blonde what to squirm before Hiccup finally spoke "Excuse me?".
"I want Toothless as my dragon, and i'm here to ask you if I can" Astrid spoke louder, almost afraid if she spoke quieter she would lose her voice.
"Why?" Hiccup asked a moment later, with a serious expression and tone.
"Something has happened recently, something with me and him, and it may seem...bizarre to you but this is serious for me and I need you to stay level headed and understand what is happening with me and him".
This time Hiccup didn't urge her to continue, he just stared at her with a frown, his hands no longer moving up and down the dragon's scales but stayed in place "What happened exactly".
It sounded weird to her, saying it out loud, saying that she and Toothless had mated, that he had chosen her to be his mate and that she shared his feelings. It was weird and odd and the look on Hiccup's face made her wish she had put more thought into telling him "Hiccup?".
He blinked, complete shock on his face and speechless, mouth hanging open as he stared at her before muttering uneasily "You and Toothless...together?" he stuttered slightly, fuming over the words that seemed so ridiculous to him.
She nodded and he looked away from her "Are you trying to mess with me or-".
"No!" Astrid suddenly found herself yelling "It's not a joke; me and him, it's not a joke, and that's why I want him as my dragon. He loves me and I love him".
Hurt crossed Hiccup's face, staying there for a few seconds before confusion and shock settled back on his features "How?" he whispered.
"That day, when I fell of that sea stack and he caught me" Astrid explained slowly "I don't know why but even since then i've been having these feeling towards him that I couldn't get rid off. I visited later that day to thank him and i...i just felt something" she stopped, wondering how crazy she sounded right now "I can't explain it, it just happened and now and pretty sure it just started happening...".
She trailed off, not knowing what else to say as she stared at the ground. The air was heavy with tension and Astrid prepared herself for Hiccup to scoff, to refuse, to tell people what she did with a dragon and bring even more disgrace to her family name. She didn't expect to have Hiccup walk up to her and put a hand on her shoulder, making her look him in the eyes and see the stern expression his face. He stayed silent, searching her eyes for something, anything, before he sighed, hand dropping from her shoulder "Do you really love him?".
She nodded, suddenly finding herself with her old confidence "Yes".
Hiccup closed his eyes for a second and sighed again, before he looked back up to her and smiled, a weak and tired, but not any less caring, smile "How am I to get in the way of love then?".
Astrid was shocked, staring at Hiccup to see if he was anything but serious before she gasped "Really?".
Hiccup nodded and was taken back when the blonde's arms wrapped around him tightly, pulling him into a hug before she backed off, regaining her composure somewhat "Thank you some much Hiccup".
He found himself smiling with her, unable to control himself as the girl in front of him grinned. She stared at him, beaming, before her eyes shot past his shoulder and she grinned "You know, you're suddenly without a dragon, and I know a dragon that just loves you!".
Hiccup raised an eyebrow and looked past his shoulder at she Stormfly watching them closely, her head tilted to the side and her horns flared out, chirping at them curiously. Hiccup laughed and looked back at Astrid, then back at Stormfly "Yeah, I suppose we make quite a good team, right Stormfly?".
The dragon flashed in teeth in a wide grin, bobbing her head up and down as she bounced over and bumped her horn against his back. Both teens laughed lightly and Hiccup turned to Astrid, smiling.
"You can see him whenever you want" Astrid grinned "You can even ride him too when you miss him!".
Hiccup chuckled "That sounds good...i hope you too are happy together Astrid, I mean it., and" he paused, looking slightly unsure of himself before regaining his confidence "I'm glad it's you he picked".
Astrid watched him, eyes staring into his own as she read his expression and smiled softly "Thank you Hiccup, for everything".
He nodded and smiled at her, gently petting the Nadder who had moved to his side and nuzzling his arm, wanting attention. Astrid looked at old her dragon and smiled, reaching out to pet her who, in return, nuzzled the blonde's hand before moving back to Hiccup.
She chuckled and brushed her hair from her face "This is crazy huh?".
Hiccup merely shrugged, turning slightly to stroke his new dragon's beak and smiled when she purred before he shrugged "Love does that to people".
LINEBREAK
She was running through the village, zigzagging past people and dragons alike, weaving her way through buildings and obstacles; but the tightness in her chest was no longer there, no more weight on her shoulders or clouded thoughts. She didn't even remember when she started running, but it didn't matter because all that matter was where she was going and who she was going to see.
"Toothless!" Astrid called once she was out of earshot of anyone from the village, still not ready to let anyone see the acts she did with the dragon "Toothless!".
The dragon came running from the forest, tongue hanging from his open mouth as he came running to the blonde, stopping short just in front of her. His tail wagged behind him happily, sensing Astrid's happiness and quickly understood.
Astrid threw her arms around the scaly neck, standing on her toes as she sighed loudly in relief, all the stress of what the two had done seemed to have disappeared into nothing, leaving her to feel lighter. Toothless' tongue tickled her neck as he purred, barely able to sit still when Astrid pulled away, hands still resting on the side of his neck "He said yes!".
Toothless gave a gleeful chirp and nuzzled her, tail wagging from side to side even harder before he dove forward, wasting no time as his lips pressed hungrily against her own, tongue quickly tracing and tasting her pink lips with a moaning purr. Astrid did anything but protest, pressing her body to his chest and parted her lips to invite him in. The kiss became more passionate and desperate before Astrid had to pull away, face pink and eyes unfocused to breath and Toothless resisted the urge to take her right there and then.
Her hand met his cheek, fingers gently stroking his scales as she looked into his eyes, her face returning back to normal but her cheeks remained a bright pink "I love you Toothless".
The dragon responded by wrapping his arms around her and continuing showing how much he loved her.
So exams have been over for 2 months but I am, unfortunately, still so stressed out and panicky that for the past 4 (or more, Idunno) nights I have been literally falling asleep at 10am and waking up at 1pm. So school fucked up my sleeping patterns, leaving me very tired, very bored and having no inspiration whatsoever.
On the lighter side I saw HTTYD2 and now my heart is black with pain and sorrow ^^
Hope this chapters was mildly okay, I found it the hardest to make in characters and had to change Lesboss' plot slightly to make it make sense in terms of character actions and such.
Big thank you too:
