Wow This chapter kicked my butt, I'm just to easily distracted, as well as being a champion procrastinator.
But hey here it is Chapter 2, I apologize for it's shortness
*2 Hours earlier*
A distressed Barf and Belch stomped around, inside the Dragons Edge clubhouse.
"Fishlegs what's wrong with them?" She asked dodging the crazed Zippleback's erratic movements.
"I don't know Heather" He replied, closely looking at Barf head, before lunging at the dragons horn.
Heather watched as the husky Viking hung on to Barf's head trying to grab at it's horn or rather what was stuck on it. The dragon spun around sending Fishlegs clattering into the wall.
Heather ran over to him, worried but also noticing that the Zippleback had calmed.
"what did you do" She questioned
Fishlegs raised his hand showing what he had removed form Barf's horn.
"Just removed this, a dead eel, Barf somehow impaled it with it's horn and was unable to remove it, and we all know how much dragons love eels, well except for Tythoomerangs since they eat hem to restore there fire..." he began to babble
"Fishlegs focus! If Barf and Belch are here then..."
…."Hiccup and Astrid are stranded Thor knows where!" He returned, focus back on the matter at hand
"We have to go and find them." She exclaimed worry drawn across her face
"I agree but..."
"What do you mean but?" She asked a little annoyed.
"I can't leave the Edge with just Snotlout and the twins, what if the Hunters come back!"
Heather paused, understanding Fishlegs hesitance but also worries for the safety of her friends.
"Okay your right but we can't just leave Astrid and Hiccup out there, I'll go but where could they be?"
Fishlegs pulled out a bundle of maps from the central table of the clubhouse, he unrolled the largest one, pointing on the map.
"Here, they left to explore a new island that Hiccup found, it's south-west from Melody island."
She looked at the map quickly, race over to Windshear and flew of on the Hunt for the stranded Berkian couple.
OoOoOoO
*Back in the Present*
A dim light shone from the crude campfire, as the heir of Berk and his Betrothed lay in each other arms. Naked and alone with no way of getting back home to Dragon's Edge. Yet escape from the Stormy island they found themselves stranded on was the furthest thing form their minds. Still covered in the warmth and bliss, from what was but their 'second time' time together, lost in their own world which consisted of but themselves and the tiny cavern they sought refuge in.
Hiccup and Astrid stared at each other with loving smiles, her hand rising to his meet his chin, gently gliding her thumb across the scar on his chin. Meanwhile his hand had found a loose strand of her flaxen hair, tucking it behind her ear. Their eyes met as they lent into a sweet and delicate kiss. His hand cupping her cheek softly, as hers found its way to his unkempt hair.
Just as their kiss was starting to get heated, Hiccup felt a cold damp sensation at his foot, startling him. He unwilling broke his kiss with Astrid to look for the culprit, as she followed his movement in confusion.
"Hiccup, what's wrong?"
"Nothing's wrong..." He answered whilst picking up the cause of his distraction, their discarded clothing still completely saturated. "but...these won't dry like this." he added whilst showing her the damp assortment of clothing.
Astrid looked at him, then her focus was drawn to the three wooden objects sitting behind him against the caverns walls. "Hey, we can drape out clothes over those chairs, and rest them next to the fire."
Hiccup turned and looked. "Great idea!" He stood up and began to walk towards the chairs, he looked back to astrid, still lying on the fur. "Not helping?"
She bit her lip and shook her head with a smile, wishing for Hiccup to turn back around. As he did she rolled onto her stomach, unashamedly staring at Hiccup's firmly toned ass as he walked to collect the chairs. Her ogling of her lovers bare backside was short lived, as her attention was pulled towards the noticeable limp in his stride. She rushed to her feet and ran over to him, grabbing two of the chairs before looking at him.
Hiccup your leg, are you okay? She asked worriedly, all ready knowing that it wasn't.
He picked up the remaining chair, spinning round to return to the fire, unconvincingly trying to conceal his limp. " Yeah!...yeah I'm fine" He knew his response was even less convincing than his walk.
"You know you're a terrible liar Hiccup, so you can tell me, or I can force it out of you" Her fiery glare was a warning, that he knew she would act on. They placed the chairs next to the fire, starting to spread the clothes over them. "Hiccup for the love of Thor!" her exasperated voice echoed through the cave.
"Fine! Yes Astrid my legs a little sore, it gets sore in cold, rain, snow and has done for four years now. There's nothing I can do about that." Hiccup rested the last piece of clothing down, starting to walk back to the fur.
"Not true Hiccup, you can take off you're prosthetic" knowing her response was a little tactless, she mentally kicked herself as she saw him freeze.
Hiccup had always been guarded when it came to his leg, ever since the day he woke up missing the other half of it. Sure his prosthetic had fallen off, broke or had been taken from him on countless occasions. However with the exception of Gothi, His father and Gobber, no one had actually seen his leg. It had always been hidden, even now, standing naked with Astrid his leg was wrapped in a leather fitting that attached to his prosthetic.
"No I...I can't Astrid...not with you.. I just..I don't want you to see..."
"Your leg?" she finished for him and he nodded in reply.
She placed a hand on his cheek, he let out a mirthless sigh. She grabbed his chin getting his full attention.
"Hiccup remember when I lost my sight, I was worried that I may never get it back?"
"Yeah?"
"You said that you were with me no matter what, Whatever that meant, whatever I wanted it to. That there would always be a Hiccup and Astrid." She smiled at the remembrance of his words that day.
He groaned deep and heavily "But Astrid you got your sight back!, My leg..." he pointed at the prosthetic its never coming back!"
She was stunned at his outburst, she broke away from him and in that moment he saw the hurt in her eye as she stared at him.
"So...you lied to me"
"I...what?"
"You lied! That beautiful speech...all of it...was all a lie? So if I never got my sight back we wouldn't be..." it hurt too much for her continue, she looked away from him trying to keep in the tears that were building.
Hiccup looked at her in horror, realizing how everything had sounded. He had to put it right.
"No Astrid!" he gripped her in a firm hug, she struggled against him but he continued. "Astrid everything I said that day I meant it...Every word." She stilled, so he loosened his hold on her placing his hand to her arms, looking deeply into her eyes with. "There will always be a Hiccup and Astrid...always..."
He leans in to kiss her but is met with a strong punch in the arm.
"Muttonhead!"
"Ow..ow yeah I deserved that" He said Rubbing his arm before being pulled into a much needed loving kiss.
She rested her head against his chest hugging him as his arms wrapped around her waist.
"Hiccup Haddock, don't you dare make me doubt you like that again." her embraced tightened as he felt the warm drops of her hidden tears of relief land on his skin.
He kissed the top of her head "Never again milady, I can't bear thought of you looking at me like that again...With all that hurt...and pain that I stupidly caused."
"Good, I'd have to axe you if you did" They both chuckled as they drew tighter in their embrace.
Astrid's attention was brought back to Hiccups leg, she could see he was keeping his weight off of it. She knew she had to get him to take it off, but after the earlier episode she was apprehensive. She took a breathe before pulling away from him.
"Hiccup...please... can you just tell me why you don't want me to see your leg."
Hiccup let out a throaty sigh, there was no escaping this.
"I don't want you to feel uncomfortable." he whispered.
"Hiccup I could never feel uncomfortable with you ever, after all I'm standing here with you alone and completely naked."
His eyes searched over her entire body, then to his own before returning back at hers. Somehow amongst everything he forgot about their nudity. Then he realised that no, he didn't forget, he was simply comfortable with being naked with Astrid.
Hiccup reached for Her hand gently fitting his fingers between hers. "Okay Astrid I'll take it off" She kissed his cheek softly happy to finally get him out of his prosthetic. He slowly walked them both over to the furs. They fell back down to the furs welcoming the warmth of the fire they had vacated.
Sitting in front of his legs she placed her fine fingers on the wooden top of his prosthetic.
"Is it okay if I remove this"
At his gentle nod she unhooked the false limb from the leather material covering his stump. She placed it safely to one side, returning back to his leg. He unbuckled the leather, his hands met by hers. Their eyes meeting as they tenderly removed the Leather covering, he turned away resting the leather with the prosthetic.
Astrid was finally met with the sight of Hiccups leg, she closely inspected it for whatever Hiccup was trying to hide from her. Four years had passed since the day he lost his leg, in those years his remaining stump had healed well, leaving only a faint scar running across the base.
"Well here it is, my half leg" he wiggled his stump a little.
"Yes and there is nothing wrong with it" She added whilst beginning to massage his leg.
"Only that it's missing half of it" He retorted with his renowned sarcasm.
Astrid knelt up and pulled herself along Hiccups leg, straddling it her hand continuing her massaging motions, now in the middle of his inner thigh.
"Yes Hiccup your missing it, you lost it saving our entire tribe from a giant dragon, and in the years since then you have done so much without it. You Started a Dragon Academy, saved Berk from the Outcast, then made peace with Outcast..."
Hiccup watched in awe at the strong Viking lady, as she listed off his accomplishments proudly. He wasn't sure if was her impassioned words. Or that her roaming hand had found it's way, inching further up his thigh but, either way Hiccup felt a stirring between his legs.
"...Saved the Edge from being destroyed by the volcano and you're actually building a new Dragon Eye." She finished beaming at him with great pride.
Hiccup looked at her bashfully at her adoration, he smiled at her tracing his left hang to her cheek.
"You forgot my most brilliant achievement, you Astrid, earning your love and actually getting betrothed to Astrid Hofferson!"
A blush spread across her face. "Soon it will be Astrid Haddock." she points out.
With that Astrid had ignited the the passion her Viking was storing within his lean body. He pulled her into a heated kiss which she returned with equal desire. Her hand found his length fully erect as she started to grind against his leg.
His hand claimed her breast, fingers roaming, circling with feather light touches, her body shivered at his fondling caress. As her pleasure increased so did her pumping of his shaft, bringing murmurs of her name from his lips.
Her body eager and impatient, she lifted her hip and swung her thigh over his, their sexes brushing against each as she positioned herself. Leaving their kiss she rested a hands on his shoulders as she descended onto him slowly, they both moaned in delight as she took him in fully.
Astrid took his mouth anew, her tongue swirling around his as her hips began to buck. In hi s position Hiccup was completely at Astrid's control and mercy, He loved it. He wrapped his arms around her as she pressed against him, pushing him down, his back onto the fur.
Their hips thrust together clumsily until they found a steady rhythm, they could feel their apexes starting to draw near...
….."Astrid, Hiccup thank Thor I fou...Oh Gods sorry!" Heather froze in both shock and embarrassment as the campfires light gave her clear view of her friends nudity and their connection.
Oh My Heather got a good gander at Hiccstrid in the act,
Next Time: all the awkward fallout and the return home.
