Young Viking Love
Chapter 7
Recovery
The next morning after Hiccup's near death snowstorm cliffhanger cheek slapping experience, he woke up to quite a surprise.
"A-A-A-Astrid! Yoooooooooouuuuuuuuu'rrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee innnnnn my house." Hiccup stuttered noticing Astrid asleep on one of the chairs by his bed.
Astrid just kept snoring, but then she woke up.
"Morning Hiccup. You had me quite scared. I was afraid I'd lose you." Astrid said comforting putting her hand on his cheek.
"...Huh? What happened? Its all a blur. I only remember-" Hiccup was about to finish his sentence when Astrid interrupted
"Shhhh. The doctor said to just stay here and rest, and most of all, keep you warm" Astrid said smiling and blushing suddenly.
Hiccup's face lit up like the sun and he smiled as well.
Astrid then grabbed Hiccup's right hand, and his heart raced.
She then sat at the bedside, and just looked at him. As if she was reading what his inner thoughts were.
Hiccup couldn't do anything to hide his face blushing now. It felt as if his face would melt from his crush.
"Uh, Astrid?" Hiccup asked
"Yes?" Astrid said
"I-I-I Li-" Hiccup was about to say what he wanted to since he first saw her, but Stoik came up to check on him.
Right before Stoik came up, Astrid bolted back in shock, let go of Hiccup's hand, and pretended to look like she was still asleep in her chair.
"Mornin son. How you feeling?" Stoik said
"Cold for one thing." Hiccup said trying his best to hide the blush on his face
Astrid kept snoring the best she could to sell that she was asleep and not trying to make a move on the chief's son.
"At least you're awake. Just try to stay in bed for the day, and you'll be fine." Stoik said as he headed out the door and into the villiage
As soon as Stoik left, Astrid went back over to Hiccup.
"Noooooow, where were we?" Astird asked moving her finger across his shirt smiling
"Uhhhhh..." Hiccup said not sure what to say in response
Astrid then moved in for a kiss, and Hiccup's eyes just widened.
"What are you waiting for Hiccup? We won't get another chance." Astrid said puckering her lips.
Just then, Stoik then came back. Astrid didn't hear the door open and kept inching to Hiccup for her kiss.
"Oh and another thing I'm going to have the doctor take another look at yo-" Stoik just stared blank in shock
"Hiccup!?" Stoik asked supprised
"Dad!?" Hiccup asked supprised the same way his dad did
"Astrid!?" Stoik asked shocked not wanting to believe what he's seeing
Astrid felt a jolt of shock up her spine, she panicked, and banged her head on the bed frame
"OW!...AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH!" Astrid yelled climbing out the window, jumped from the roof, landed on her feet, and began running and screaming at the top of her lungs with her hands up
"I'm going to forget I just saw that. We're going to have a talk tonight." Stoik said as he left out the door.
"Great. My first day awake, and already I'm going to get a lecture on something I didn't even know was going to happen." Hiccup said sighing
Toothless then woke up, and came to Hiccup's bed side.
"Hey bud. Morning." Hiccup said scratching Toothless's sweet spot under his neck.
"Boy, what a morning huh? First I find Astrid in my house, my face lights up like crazy and then she runs out screaming at the top of her lungs. Ha. What surprise will come next?" Hiccup asked chuckling
Toothless nodded in response, but he couldn't get over the fact on how much Astrid tries to make one of her so called "moves" on him.
Hiccup finally sat up, stretched, yawned, got up, and looked out the window.
"Well, its great to be back home. Wonder what Tuffnut is up to." Hiccup asked himself as he looked down in the village crowded with dozens and dozens of people and dragons.
Toothless then nudged Hiccup back to his bed.
"Hey hey Toothless. What are you doing? I'm fine." HIccup said trying to convince him to stop nudging him.
Toothless however didn't listen, he wanted Hiccup to stay in bed. For one thing, he wanted him to keep him warm, but mostly because he didn't want him going to find Astrid.
"Fine, Toothless. I'll stay in bed." Hiccup said climbing back into bed.
He just layed back down, looked up at the same old ceiling, and dozed off.
Right the second as Hiccup closed his eyes, he had another vision of him and his mother. The vision took them to the cove where Astrid was at.
"Mom? Why have you taken me here? I thought you didn't want me to be in a relationship." Hiccup said confused
"Yes. I did say that, but now I realized how much you care about her. I know you got a special place in your heart for her." Hiccup's mother said in a comforting matter.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Hiccup asked
"Do whatever you think you should do." Hiccup's mother said as she faded away
"WAIT!" Hiccup yelled reaching his arm out, but it was to late. She already disappeared.
Hiccup's vision then changed instantly from the Cove, to another part of Berk with Snotlout and Astrid.
"I hope Hiccup will be ok." Astrid said worried
"Yeah, but what if it won't? That means that he won't be the leader of the Dragon Academy, and that also means that he won't be by your side, and you can finally be mine!" Snotlout cheered
"I know he'll be fine. HE HAS TO!" Astrid said distraughtly
Snotlout then grabbed Astrid, and kissed her.
Astrid just stood there frozen when Snotlout broke for air.
"What?" Snotlout asked
"If Hiccup won't be ok, I thought I'd take the opportunity." Snotlout continued
Astrid then punched Snotlout on the arm.
"Thats for catching me by suprise." Astrid said
"And this is, for admitting that you might be right." Astrid said as she smiled shyly
Astrid kissed Snotlout repeatidley, and Snotlout just went with it
"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHH! YOU STUPID EXCUSE FOR A "FRIEND" I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR THIS! I'M GONNA KILL BOTH OF YA!" Hiccup yelled in rage at the top of his lungs not caring that they couldn't hear him.
Hiccup then sang a song that came to his mind that fit perfectly
ONNNNLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY WHHHHHHEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN I STOP TO THINK ABOOOOOUUUUT IIIIIT
IIIIIIIIIIIIIII HAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEE E EEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEER RYYYYYYYYYYYYYYTTTTTTHHHHHHH HHHIIIIIIIINNNNNNGGG ABOUUUUUUUUTTTTTTTTT YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOU UUUUUUUUUUUUUU!

YOOUUUUU HAAAATE EVERYTHING ABOOOOUUUT ME! WHYYYYYYY DO YOOOOOOUUUUU LOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?
Hiccup then awoke from his vision. His forehead was dripping with sweat, and he felt a jolt of adrenaline rush through him.
"Toothless, out of my way!" Hiccup yelled as he shot up from his bed, and pushed Toothless out of the way.
Hiccup climbed out the window, climbed to his roof, and sung his heart out.
The good life is what I need
Too many people stepping over me
The only thing that's been on my mind
The one thing I need before I crash again
All I want
Is a little of the good life
All I need
Is to have a good time
The good life
All I want
Is a little of the good life
All I need
Is to have a good time
The good life
(The good life)
No one really cares who I am
I guess It's time for me to take a stand
I need a change and I need it fast
I know that any day could be the last
All I want
Is a little of the good life
All I need
Is to have a good time
The good life
All I want
Is a little of the good life
All I need
Is to have a good time
The good life
(Tuffnut walks by hearing Hiccup sing and bangs his head like a rock star and gets everyone else joining in.)
Hold on, hold on
I always wanted it this way
(You never wanted it this way)
Hold on, hold on
I always wanted this way
(You didn't ask for it this way)
I always wanted it this way
(The good life)
All I want
Is a little of the good life
All I need
Is to have a good time
The good life
All I want
Is a little of the good life
All I need
Is to have a good time
The good life
(The good life)
The Good Life - Three Days Grace (I changed a few of the lyrics so it first Berk.)
The moment Hiccup stopped singing, he got off the roof, jumped down from the balcony, and ran off to find Astrid
He went with his vision, and checked the Cove. He was right. Snotlout was with her to. Hiccup felt anger inside of him. Like his heart is about to be ripped out.
Astrid was just looking at her reflection in the water, thinking about Hiccup. Snotlout once again had the right amount of guts and stupidity to put the moves on her once again.
"Hey Astrid, if you're still sad." Snotlout said opening his arms for a hug
Astrid just flipped him over. From there, Hiccup took the oprotunity to show Snotlout that he messed with the wrong viking.
Hiccup climbed down, jumped off, and landed flat on his feet.
"HEY!" Hiccup yelled as he ran to Snotlout
"Hey dude, whats u-?" Snotlout was going to ask before Hiccup picked him up, dragged him by the collar of his shirt accross the ground, and gave him a good punch square in the face giving a nose bleed.
He then kept hitting him, then Snotlout countered his punch, and flipped him to the ground. From there, it then just became a straight up fist fight for Astrid.
"DON'T FIGHT OVER ME!" Astrid yelled attempting to get the two brawling vikings attention
"YOU ARE NEVER GONNA LAY ONE FINGER ON HER!" Hiccup yelled punching him twice giving Snotlout a black eye
"I wasn't even going to-" Snotlout said hitting Hiccup back with force bruising his face
Hiccup grabbed his shoulders, and dunked his head in the water
"SAY IT! SAY IT!" Hiccup demanded
"OK OK OK! I WAS GONNA PUT THE MOVES ON ASTRID!" Snotlout said breathing heavily
Hiccup dunked his head in the water again
"What was that for!?" Snotlout asked when Hiccup brought his head back up for air.
"Thats just a reminder for you to never make a move on her." Hiccup said
"Ok." Snotlout said
Hiccup believed him, but he just wanted to make sure he meant it
He was about to dunk his head in the water again
"OK OK OK! I WON'T MAKE A MOVE ON ASTRID AND I NEVER WILL!" Snotlout said desperately breathing heavily with his hair dripping wet.
"Good!" Hiccup said shoving him to the ground as he walked away
Snotlout got up, pulled out a knife, charged at Hiccup, attempted to slash his left arm, Hiccup blocked it, got cut a bit with his arm bleeding, and knocked the knife out of his hand. Hiccup grabbed the knife, cut his left arm to get even, and tossed it to the ground to get back to punching him.
Hiccup was about to deliver another punch, but Astrid restrained him.
"THATS ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU!" Astrid said in a commanding tone still restraining Hiccup
"This is ridiculous. You guys are friends. You shouldn't fight over me." Astrid continued
"Let go of me." Hiccup demanded
As soon as Snotlout heard this, he literally hightailed it out of there as if Hiccup unleashed the power of his NightFury on him.
When Snotlout left, Astrid released Hiccup from her restraining grip.
"What was all that about?" Astrid asked angrily tapping her foot impatiently waiting for an answer
"Snotlout just gets me so angry sometimes. I just can't stand it when he tries to put the moves on you. I'm sorry. Will you forgive me?" Hiccup asked
Astrid just looked at Hiccup's bruising face, and bleeding arm.
She then picked up the bloody knife, washed the blood off of it, cut off part of a sleeve from her shirt, and tied it around Hiccup's bleeding arm.
"There. Give it a few days and you'll be fine." Astrid said
Hiccup couldn't help by just look at the viking he's always known
"A-Astrid?" Hiccup asked
"Yes? What is it?" Astrid asked
"I-I-. I can't say it. I have to show you." Hiccup said
Hiccup then held Astrid in her arms, swooped around, and kissed Astrid with extreme passion.
When they broke for air, and Hiccup let go of her, Hiccup couldn't believe what he just did.
"Astrid, I'm so sorry for that. I didn't know what came over me." Hiccup said
Astrid then punched him
"Ow hey! What was that for?" Hiccup asked
"Thats, for shocking me." Astrid said
"...Really?" Hiccup asked with a look on his face that read "You gotta be kidding me."
"And this, is for our love that will never end." Astrid said
She grabbed Hiccup's shoulders, and kissed him again. Hiccup held Astrid tightly in his arms never wanting to let her go.
From there, it was just an extreme make out session. Hiccup and Astrid kept kissing one another again and again. They didn't care how late it was getting. All they wanted was to be together for this one moment, and savor it.
"Astrid." Hiccup finally said when the broke unfortunately for much needed air
"What is it sweetie?" Astrid asked with her blue eyes sparkling and lighting up in the moonlight
"I love you. You are the only one for me." Hiccup finally said
"You're the only one for me to. I love you to. I will always love you." Astrid said taking her headband off and letting her hair down diving in for another kiss that knocked them down to the ground
"I wish this moment could last forever." Astrid said in the middle of pelting him with kisses
"Yeah you and me both." Hiccup said kissing her 20 more times.
"Astrid, how will my dad take the news of us being lovers now?" Hiccup asked
"Oh, he can deal with it or think of something. He's the chief after all. Besides, even if he doesn't like it, we'll just sneak out and meet up. All I want is to be with you." Astrid said resting her head on his chest
"Love you." Hiccup said
"Love you to sweetie." Astrid said as she dozed off
Hiccup felt extremely tired, he didn't even care that Astrid was on top of him, he just wanted to sleep.
*Cue a freeze frame heart closing effect of the two lovers*
