Young Viking Love
Chapter 8
Forbidden Love
Hiccup woke up the next morning at the Cove with the sun shining bright and his true love Astrid with him. Well, still on top of him is more like it.
"Morning Astrid." Hiccup said yawning and feeling Astrid's angel like hair
"Mornin Hiccup." Astrid said getting off of Hiccup and putting her headband back on while fixing her hair
"So, how are we gonna tell my dad?" Hiccup asked lazily getting up still lovestruck
"We'll think of something. But like I said, if your dad doesn't like it, we'll just sneak out and meet in secret." Astrid said
"You got that right Astrid." Hiccup said pointing at her with his slurred voice because his eyes changed into hearts and he just plain smiled at Astrid.
"Well, since no one will be looking for us for a while, how about we go for a round 2?" Astrid asked wrapping Hiccup in her arms and stroking his hair
"Technically I think it would be a round 5, but you fell asleep." Hiccup said correcting her
"Hahaha right. Are we gonna do this or what?" Astrid asked gazing into Hiccup's eyes
"You know it Astrid. I'm ready." Hiccup said now that he was fully awake
Astrid leaned in, and was about to kiss her one and only love, when they heard a voice.
"Hiccup?" Stoik called out
"Oh my god!" They both said causing Astrid to kiss Hicucp, but they bit one anothers lips
"Ow!" They both yelled
"Sorry." Astrid whispered
"No, I'm sorry." Hiccup whispered back
"Lets hide behind those rocks. Wait. In those trees" Astrid said
"Fine." Hiccup said
The two forbidden lovers made their way to the clump of trees, climbed up, and waited for Stoik to leave. Astrid's hair got messed up, so did Hiccup's.
"You look beautiful." Hiccup whispered
"You do to. Not beautiful uh, whats the word?" Astrid asked softly
"Forget it." Hiccup said diving in for a kiss
Their lips were about to meet, but Astrid had to ask him something.
"You really wanna kiss up here?" Astrid asked surprised
"I don't think we'll get another chance." Hiccup said convincing
"Fine. Continue." Astrid said
Hiccup was about to dive in for another kiss, but the branch suddenly broke off, and they hit the ground like flapjacks. Little did they know, Stoik was searching for Hiccup in the forest.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" They both screamed
BAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG GGGGGGGGGG!
"What was that?" Stoik asked
"Oh you gotta be KIDDING ME! Can't we have ONE private moment to ourselves!?" Hiccup yelled
"Hiccup? Is that you?" Stoik asked hearing his son's voice
"OH SHIT!" They both whispered as they snuck away from Stoik's footsteps
Hiccup and Astrid then attempted to sneak away from Stoik, but their efforts were short lived. Stoik saw Astrid's headband in the weeds, and busted them on the spot.
"Well well well. What do we have here?" Stoik asked picking Hiccup and Astrid up by the collars of their shirts
"Dad I know what you're thinking, but this isn't what it looks like." Hiccup said convincing
"Suuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrreeeeeee it isn't. So tell me, what does this look like?" Stoik asked demandingly letting them go
"We were just...talking." Astrid said
"MMMMMMHMMMMMMMM talking...talking in a tree?" Stoik asked picking up the nearby branch that fell off.
"Yeah. We figured we'd talk in a tree for once. We wern't hiding from you so we could make out some more or anything heh heh." Hiccup said blushing and chuckling a bit
Stoik still wasn't convinced
"...Well your little "conversation" has had me wonderin where you two were for-" Stoik stoped in the middle of his sentence because he noticed something tied on Hiccup's arm
"Son, whats that tied on your arm?" Stoik asked
"Oh this?" Hiccup asked raising his left arm
"Yeah." Stoik said
He then noticed what was tied on his arm. He saw it was one of Astrid's shirt sleeves
"Astrid, whats your sleeve doing on my son's arm?" Stoik asked
"He scraped his arm, and it started to bleed, so I just tore off one of my sleeves to tie it around his arm." Astrid lied
Stoik didn't believe Astrid one bit. He had a hard time piecing together what went on before he found them. He found his son and Astrid were "talking" in a tree, his arm somehow got "scrapped", and now, they're both acting like they were in a hurry to get away from him.
"Hiccup, come with me. We need to have a talk. A BIG talk." Stoik said
"What about me?" Astrid asked
"Just follow us back to Berk. I don't even know what to say right now." Stoik said
The three then began a long walk back to Berk. Stoik couldn't stop muttering to himself about what he just learned about what happened. Hiccup and Astrid were walking a few feet behind Stoik. They kept whispering so Stoik coudln't hear them.
"Hiccup." Astrid said
"What?" Hiccup asked
"I'm sorry." Astrid apologized
"For what? Its not your fault." Hiccup reassured
"I'm sorry for getting us caught. Its all my fault." Astrid said trying her best not to cry
"Astrid, look at me." Hiccup said as he stopped walking to put his hands on her shoulders
"Its fine. So what if we got caught. As of now, we're The Forbidden Lovers of Berk. It doesn't matter how much my dad, or if anyone else doesn't approve of this, I promise you that we will always be together." Hiccup said trying to cheer her up by hugging her with all his strength and gazing into her ocean blue eyes
He then noticed some scented flowers, picked them, and put the flowers in Astrid's hair
"There. Now you look even more beautiful." Hiccup said smiling adjusting the flowers
"As if that's even possible." Astrid said fixing her hair and blushing
Hiccup then noticed that Stoik didn't know that they stopped walking
"Come here baby." Hiccup said holding Astrid in her arms
"I'm all yours Hiccup." Astrid said smiling putting her arms around him
The two shared passionate tongue kisses that seemed to last forever
"Ohhhh Hiiiiiicuuppp!" Astrid said delighted
"Ohhhh Astriiiid." Hiccup said putting his hand around Astrid's neck pulling her closer to him so their tongues could be forever connected
They suddenly noticed that Stoik stopped walking. The two forbidden lovers suddenly broke from the kiss. They noticed that they still had saliva on their mouths. They quickly wiped it off.
Hiccup decided to "cover" for himself by pretending to be looking at the clouds dazed trying to see what each one looks like. Astrid did the same
"Are you two coming or what?" Stoik asked
"Huh? Oh right. We're coming dad." Hiccup replied
The two lovers let out a sigh of relief not wanting to think of what might've happened if Hiccup's dad saw his son tongue kissing his new girlfriend. They just walked back and trying there best to not have another extreme make out session again till later in the day.
When they made it back to Berk the sun was setting, and Astrid made a dash for her house. She didn't want to get involved with what Hiccup and his dad were going to talk about. She already knew what they would talk about anyways.
Stoik and Hiccup then headed back to their house where Toothless was waiting. When they got in, Stoik pulled up a chair and sat down. Hiccup did the same.
"Now son. Lets have a talk." Stoik said
"About?" Hiccup asked pretending he didn't know what he meant
"About Astrid." Stoik said
Hiccup then felt his heart stop. He thought he was about to say "Son. I don't want you hanging out with Astrid. You're not ready for this yet. I forbid you to see her without me watching you two." His thought was proven wrong for the moment
"What about her? I've known her for a while now, we're buds...I think. She punches me so much I can't say for sure." Hiccup said once again trying to hide his love for her
"Yes. You've known her a while. You're at the age where you'll be going through changes. You'll start to feel different about Astrid. You might..oh I don't know, want to ask her out or be more than friends." Stoik said
"Whaaaaaaaaaat? Pfffffffff that's crazy talk." Hiccup said flinging his arm and raising the pitch of his voice while laughing
"You'll change your mind sooner or later. I can assure you of that." Stoik said winking as if he could read Hiccup's mind
Hiccup then gulped in shock trying his best not to think about his beloved Astrid
"WOAH. WOAH WOAH WOAH WOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! First of all, I don't even know if I like her. Do I? I HAVE NO IDEA! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY MIND IS GOING TO FALL APART" Hiccup yelled grabbing his head in frustration
"Son, I-" Hiccup interrupted his sentence
"NO! NO YOU DON'T DAD! EVEN IF I DID SAY THAT I LOVED HER, YOU'D HATE IT! I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU TRY TO RESTRAIN ME FROM SEEING HER!" Hiccup yelled extremely mad
Stoik was about to say something, but he changed his mind on what he was going to say. Hiccup then soon found out that his worst fear has been realized
"HICCUP! THATS ENOUGH OUT OF YOU! I FORBID YOU FROM SEEING HER. END OF DISCUSSION!" Stoik said in a commanding tone
Hiccup didn't even want to waste his breath. He just went up to bed, and starred out the window now at the ultra clear starry night with every star in plain view.
"It worked." Stoik said laughing to himself making sure Hiccup didn't hear him
"Great. My first discussion on dating ended with a screaming match." Hiccup said sighing
He then waited at least 5 more hours to make sure his dad was asleep. After he waited 5 long painful hours, he climbed out the window like a stealth master, jumped down, landed on his feet, walked through the plaza, found a quite spot, and sung a song that perfectly fit this moment.
Walking out the door this morning
Wondering what it is that's going on with you, on with you
Thinking of a way to say I'm sorry
For something that I'm not sure I do, sure I do
So come on baby, let me in
And show me what this really is
'Cause something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you stay come back to me?
Hoping for a moment that I turn around
And you'll be coming after me, after me
'Cause all that I can say is that it's obvious
It's obvious you're all I see, all I see
So come on, baby, let me in
And show me what this really is about
'Cause I wanna hold you
Come on baby, let me in
And show me what this really is
'Cause something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
Come back to me
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
And I'll be here in the morning if you say stay
If you say stay to me, oh
Something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
Something must have made you say that
What did I do to make you say that to me?
Something must have made you so mad
What can I do to make you say come back to me?
SafetySuit - Stay (I only changed those few lyrics.)
"Oh who am I kidding? I don't even know if I'll ever be able to be with Astrid." Hiccup said depressed and sighing discarding all the kisses he shared with Astrid thinking that they were just lies on her lips that he believed.
"Well, I got nothing else to do, but get rejected, so I might as well just take it head on." Hiccup said sighing again walking slowly to Astrid's house
Elsewhere, Astrid coudln't take her mind off of Hiccup. He was the only thing she thought about.
"Hiccup. You're special to me. Wait, more than special. You're amazing." Astrid said happily, then sighing
"Will I ever get Hiccup to fall for me? Was it real when we kissed, or was it just a one time thing? Dah!" Astrid said kicking the wall
"OW!" Astrid yelled
Astrid couldn't help herself but to sing her heart out no matter who heard her.
Picture perfect memories scattered all through my mind
Reachin' for your hand 'cause I can't fight it anymore
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now
Said I wouldn't come but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
(Astrid imagines Hiccup next to her singing next) Another shot of your love can't stop looking at the door
Wishing you'd come sweeping in the way you did before
And I wonder if I ever cross your mind
For me it happens all the time
(Imagines Hiccup dissapearing. She started singing again) It's a quarter after one, I'm all deppressed and I need you now
Said I wouldn't come but I lost all control and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
woah woaaah.
Guess I'd rather hurt than feel nothin' at all
It's a quarter after one I'm all alone and I need you now
(Hiccup appears again in Astrid's mind) And I said I wouldn't show but I'm a little sad and I need you now
And I don't know how I can do without
I just need you now
I just need you now
Ooo, baby, I need you now
Need You Now - Lady Antebellum (I changed some lyrics so it fits Berk)
Astrid then heard a faint knock on her door
She the opened it overjoyed to see that it was Hiccup.
"HICCUP!" Astrid screached in happieness to see him
Astrid then grabbed him, and tossed him inside
"Woah!" Hiccup said feeling Astrid throwing him inside.
Hiccup landed on the floor, his vest came off, and he kept looking up at the beautiful blonde viking
"Heyy sweetie." Astrid said helping him off the ground
"Hi honey. So, what was that all about?" Hiccup asked
"I didn't want anyone to see us together." Astrid said smiling
"Oh right." Hiccup said sighing
"So, what'd your dad say about us?" Astrid asked desperatley
"He uh..." Hiccup said not sure how to tell her
"Come on. Just tell me." Astrid said losing her patience
"My dad doesn't want us to be a couple. UGH! Sometimes I just want to give him a piece of my mind." Hiccup said walking over to the fireplace and clinching his fists
"...Hiccup," Astrid said putting her hand on his shoulder
"I don't care if the whole village says we aren't meant to be, I'll always be by your side." Astrid continued
"Thanks sweetie. I'll always be with you to." Hiccup said facing Astrid and smiling
Hiccup then saw that she still had the scented flowers in her hair he picked for her.
"Hey, you still got those flowers in your hair. Glad you love them." Hiccup said walking to Astrid's bedside
"And besides," Astrid said sitting down next to him putting her arm around him
"You can give your dad a piece of your mind tomorrow. Right now, lets just enjoy this moment we have now. Like you said when we were hiding in the tree, we might not get another chance." Astrid said romantically gesturing to Hiccup
"Yeah. You're right." Hiccup said moving in for a kiss
"Hold on." Astrid said attempting to get Hiccup's shirt off
"Woah hey hey hey. What are you doing?" Hiccup asked stopping her
"Just trying to make this moment more memorable is all." Astrid said smirking
"...Fine." Hiccup said cautiously
Astrid immediately ripped off Hiccup's shirt and tossed it to the floor, and let her hair down
Hiccup moved in again for a kiss, but Astrid slapped him.
"Hey!" Hiccup yelled
"Thats for fighting over me." Astrid said
"Seriously, WHY DO YOU KEEP PUNCHING AND SLAPPING ME!?" Hiccup yelled irritated
"And this, is for everything else." Astrid said
She then pushed Hiccup down so he was laying on his back, grabbed his cheeks, closed her eyes, and brought his lips to hers
He felt a great feeling of warmth and joy being with her, the only viking he will always love.
Hiccup kissed her back, Astrid did the same.
"Sweetie, can we share another tongue kiss?" Astrid asked shyly after 20 dozen passionate lip kisses
"Sure." Hiccup said
Astrid then tongue kissed Hiccup with passion, Hiccup did the same.
"Ohhh Astrid." Hiccup said after finally getting some air
"Ohhhhh Hiccup. You're such a great kisser." Astrid said delighted diving in for yet another kiss
Hiccup got the chance to sit up before Astrid kissed him again
"I love you. Sooooo much." Hiccup finally said
"And you're not so bad at kissing yourself." Hiccup continued.
"I love you to sweetie." Astrid said hugging him
"Hiccup?" Astrid asked
"Yes? What is it gorgeous?" Hiccup asked smiling
"I would like you to sleep with me tonight." Astrid said shyly
Hiccup's heart then stopped when he heard this. He wasn't sure what to say given the fact that this is his first relationship.
"Really? Don't you think we're rushing things? Shouldn't we wait a while?" Hiccup asked trying to sound mature for his dad's sake
"Its fine. Its just for tonight." Astrid said reassuring
"Astrid, it's one thing for me worrying if my dad found out about our relationship, but if he found us sleeping together, HE'D KILL ME!" Hiccup said
"No he won't. We'll be fine, I'm sure of it." Astrid said convincing
"Alright fine. I'll sleep with you tonight." Hiccup said finally
"Thanks sweetheart." Astrid said scooching toward Hiccup and holding his hand
"Goodnight." Hiccup said blushing still holding her hand
"Night." Astrid said hugging Hiccup with all her strength
The two forbidden lovers of Berk shared one more passionate kiss before they slept the night away.
