lemon alert.

Together

Hiccup was in a sour mood the next morning. After Toothless went crazy last night the mood between him and Merida was all but gone. So Hiccup went to bed cursing every divine entity he could think of for once again stopping him from having sex.

When he and Merida got up they quickly got packed and headed to Merida's condo to grab her some luggage and clothes before driving to the airport to catch their flight. So they waited in the car while the plane was being checked for last minute flaw and troubles, both he and Merida were very prominent individuals after all. And while they waited Hiccup spoke to Jack on his communicator.

"Alright so we should be back in two days more or less," Hiccup reminded Jack.

"Got it," Jack said with a nod as he and Hiccup spoke live via their communicators.

"Make sure to keep Toothless out of trouble. And you can take the cone off in an hour or two. I think he's learned his lesson," he added.

"Roger that," Jack said.

"Oh, and don't active the self-destruct sequence to the base," he said seriously.

Jack rolled his eyes and scoffed. "That happened one time," he said indignantly.

"Yeah hold on, Rapunzel, you there?" Hiccup said speaking louder. Some rustling in the background was heard before Rapunzel appeared over Jack's shoulder.

"Right here Hiccup," she said with a smile.

"Make sure Jack doesn't do anything stupid," he told her.

Rapunzel giggled at Jack's expense. "I won't," she said with a nod.

"Punz!" Jack said in offense.

"Hiccup, it's time to go," Merida said. He looked to her and nodded before looking back to his friends and saying goodbye. With that he followed Merida with his luggage as they were ushered aboard the plane.

Once they stowed their belonging away they took a seat across from each other and waited. In another 20 minutes the pilot gave them the signal to buckle up before he started the engine and got it moving. Soon they were in the air, and approximately 7-8 hours away from their destination.

Back at the base Toothless whined sadly as he wore the cone of shame. After he failed to kill the rat last night he'd been yelled at by Hiccup and punished. Hiccup had locked him out of his room all night, and not even Merida had come to open the door for him.

He wish he could have told his master that the rat was bad. That he was trying to kill it to protect them. But it was no use. So Toothless determined he would protect their home while his master was away. He'd be on guard for any intrusion.

And should something try to invade he'd tear it apart.

But for now he as content to lay on his master's bed and hope he'd return soon.

During their flight Hiccup and Merida played a game of chess. They were both very good. Bu Hiccup was slightly better, having two wins over her. It frustrated Merida slightly, she hated losing at anything, but she didn't mind so much since it was Hiccup.

"So you really live in a castle?" Hiccup said as she studied the board.

Merida snorted and chuckled. "No you idiot. We live in mansion. The castle is a few miles up the road and we own it. Been in the family for generations," she explained. "We only use it for clan gatherings and when we host the highland games."

"Oh. So how do you know we can find answers there?" he asked as he moved his rook.

"I used to explore the castle when I was a lass. I found an old library. And in it were books on magic and Mor'du," she replied. She moved her bishop, preparing to take his rook.

"I see. Well seems like a good a plan as any," Hiccup said with a shrug. Hiccup noticed what she was doing and took her bishop with his knight. Merida growled in irritation and moved a pawn.

"By the way Hiccup," Merida began as she looked up from the board. Hiccup looked up at her. "We're going to have to see my parents while we're there," she revealed.

Icy terror filled Hiccup's veins as his face paled. "You're telling me this now?"

"Yes," Merida said with a smirk. "Because you can't get away at a few hundred thousand feet in the sky," she said with an evil smile.

"You clever shrew," Hiccup said narrowing his eyes at her. "You planned this from the beginning didn't you?" he accused.

"Guilty. My mum is always saying I should bring a man home, so I thought, two birds one stone," she said casually.

"You evil mastermind," he said with a sigh. Merida giggled and wrinkled her nose at him. "Checkmate by the way," he added. Merida's eyes dropped back to the board to see her king surrounded. She frowned, she'd distracted herself.

"Ah am done with chess," she said with a sigh.

"Well we still have an hour or two before we land. What do you want to do?" Hiccup asked her. Merida looked up at him and smiled. Then she shoved the tray and chess board in front of them out of the way before leaping at Hiccup. Straddling his legs she began to fervently kiss him. Hiccup was surprised but didn't protest.

Merida smiled against his lips and reclined his seat back.

This was much more fun than chess anyway.

Hiccup's stomach began to churn on the way to Merida's family home. He was nervous. He'd heard stories from his dad about Fergus Dunbroch. Said to be quite the man. A hunter and actually able to take a punch from his father.

He tried to distract himself by watching the lush green scenery of the country side as Merida drove them there, but nervousness anxiety kept rearing up within him.

"I'm not dressed enough for this," he said miserably.

Merida sighed rolled her eyes. "You look fine Hiccup."

"I meant I'm not wearing my armor," he said dryly. Merida chuckled. The rest of the drive passed in silence as Merida drove them through small towns before up the final roadway leading to her parents' home.

When the front gates to her home were in sight Hiccup sat up and stared wide eyed. It was impressive. It looked like a castle. Made of stone, two stories tall, and with numerous windows on the wall it was a lovely home. It was surrounded by lush green foliage and stone walls. Merida drove up the gate before punching in a code on the key pad. The gate lurched before sliding to the side to permit them entrance.

Merida drove in and pulled up into a gravel circle drive at the front of the building. She stopped the engine an unbuckled herself right as the front door opened. And out came a large man with hair as red and wild as Merida's. He beamed and bellowed in laughter as he laid eyes on her. Merida smiled and ran to meet him.

When she was close he reached out and scooped her up was if she were a child before swinging her around. Merida laughed in childish amusement at her father's antics. But hugged him back when he set her down.

"Oh Merida love, it's good to see you," he said to her with a bright smile.

"It's good to see you to da," she said back. Footsteps grabbed her attention as she remembered her guest. She looked over her shoulder to see Hiccup standing there awkwardly, unsure of what to do. Merida smiled at him before pulling away.

"Oh and da, I brought someone for you to meet," she said. Fergus raised an eyebrow as he finally noticed Hiccup. Merida dashed over to him and grabbed his hand before pulling him forward. "Da, this is Henry Harrison Haddock III. Our future business partner, and," Merida paused and blushed. A shy smile formed on her face as she tucked some hair behind her ear. "The lad in my life," she revealed.

Hiccup flushed and rubbed the back of his head bashfully. "It's good to meet you Mr. Dunbroch," he said extending his hand.

Fergus' face was neutral as he looked him up and down. "So yer Stoick's lad then?" he asked as he raised an eyebrow.

Hiccup chuckled nervously. "Yeah that's me. Not much resemblance I know," he said with a slight shrug.

Fergus remained still until he burst out in laughter. "Oh I'm just funning ya lad," he said as he took Hiccup's hand and gave it a firm shake. "It's wonderful to meet ye. Now come on, Elinor will want to get a look at ye," he said before turning and leading them inside.

Merida squeezed Hiccup hand reassuringly before pulling him along. Hiccup gulped. Well it seemed as if Fergus approved of him. He really hoped Elinor would too.

Hiccup was impressed as he walked through the home of Merida's parents. Huge with stone walls and lot of taxidermy animals. Wolves, deer, and even a few bears. No doubt from Fergus' hunting excursions. Besides those there were old Scottish style sword and shields adorned on the walls.

"Well if it isn't Merida," came a feminine voice. Hiccup looked ahead to see a buxom old woman in a plain yellow dress walking towards them with a smile.

"Maudie. It's good to see ye," Merida said happily as she gave her old nanny a hug.

"It's good to see you too lassie," she said back in earnest. Then her gaze shifted to Hiccup. He raised an eyebrow and looked him up and down. "So who's this then?"

"Maudie, this is Henry Harrison Haddock III. Or Hiccup. He's my boyfriend," Merida said with pride. Hiccup noticed this and smiled.

"Kind of a string bean ain't he? Looks like a strong wind would knock the poor lad over," Maudie said unimpressed.

Hiccup had grown used to comments like that. But damn, talk about rude.

"But at least he's tall," Maudie said with a shrug.

"Oh leave the lad alone Maudie. He hasn't spent 10 years being fattened up by your cooking," Fergus said good heartedly. Maudie just huffed and walked away to clean something. "Don't mind her lad. She's just surprised. We can't remember the last time Merida brought a lad home."

Hiccup nodded in understanding. Fergus smiled before turning to continue leading them through the mansion. He sighed and was about to follow when suddenly Merida grabbed both sides of his face and yanked him down for a kiss.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and stuck her tongue in his mouth. She rubbed it against him before wrapping it around his and pulling it into her own mouth. Hiccup was stiff, a little uncomfortable about doing this with Fergus so near. He really didn't want to end up with his head on a plaque.

Merida pulled away and smiled when she was finished. "Don't mind Maudie. I like ye just as ye are," she whispered to him. He smiled back gratefully as she took his hand in hers and pulled him along. They were led upstairs before Fergus led through a hallways.

Hey passed an open door where the sound of video games could be heard. Fergus paused at the door and opened it. Hiccup peeked inside to see three young boys playing video games. All three looked to be in their early teens and were identical with the same red hair and Fergus and her father. Hiccup assumed these were her younger brothers she'd mentioned.

"Oy. Boys, your sister is here," Fergus informed them.

The boys paused the game before turning to wave at Merida. Then they turned their attention back to their game, apparently believing that was a good enough hello. With a sigh Fergus shook his head and led them to another room down the hall. He opened the door and inside there was a tall woman sitting down as she sewed a tapestry.

"Elinor love, Merida is here," Fergus said to her. The woman turned around and looked at them. Her eyes stopped on Merida and a warm smile formed on her face. Hiccup took her in. He could see where Merida got her looks. While her hair came from her father her facial feature resembled her mother's.

Elinor Dunbroch was quite tall. But Hiccup was few inches taller. She had long black hair tied into two long braids that had a grey streak in one. She was quite beautiful in Hiccup's opinion. In her shimmering green summer dress she reminded him of a queen. Elegant and poised she crossed the room to embrace Merida.

"Good to see you mah dear," she said in earnest.

"Good to see ye too mum," Merida said back. Elinor smiled as she looked her daughter over. Then she noticed Hiccup. She released her daughter and turned to face them.

"Hello there. I'm Elinor Dunbroch. And who might you be?" she asked politely.

Hiccup blanched for a second before he shook his head to focus. Clearing his throat he extended a hand toward her. "Hello ma'am. I'm Henry Harrison Haddock III," he said politely. Elinor smiled and shook his hand.

"Stoick's boy huh? Well it's nice to meet you lad," she said warmly. "And how goes the merger if ye don't mind me asking?" she added as she looked to Merida and Hiccup.

"It's going fine mum. A few things to work out but everything looks good. This merger is going to change the world," Merida said with passion. Elinor chuckled at her daughter's enthusiasm.

"And why exactly have you come with my daughter Henry?" Elinor asked curiously. Hiccup opened his mouth to speak when Merida piped in.

"Ah brought him mum. Hiccup and I are together," she revealed to her mother.

Elinor's eyes widened for a fraction of a second before she smoothed her features. "How lovely," she said evenly. "Well 'm glad you both arrived when ye did. Because Fergus had invited a few of his friends over," Elinor revealed.

Merida's stomach dropped to her feet and her smile faltered. Her father's friends meant three things. And their names were Dingwall, Macnitosh, and McGuffin.

"Oh no."

Hours later the Dunbroch dining room table was filled with people. There was Fergus at the head of the table, Elinor to his right. Merida was at his left with Hiccup beside her. Beside him were the triplets who were playing their hand held games. And across the table were Fergus' friend and their sons. Who happened to be giving Hiccup very scrutinizing looks.

Merida sighed and rolled her eyes. Their families had been friends for generations. And the patriarchs had always been eager to see their sons marry Merida. Merida had dated McGuffin's son, Doric, when hey were younger, but that was the closest she was ever going to get to any of them.

"By the way da," Merida said pausing from eating her turnkey to look at her father. Fergus looked up at her and met her eyes. "I was thinking of showing Hiccup he castle tomorrow, would that be ok?" she asked politely.

Fergus shrugged. "Sure lass I don't see why not?"

"Thank ye da," Merida said with a smile.

"So Hiccup, how is Valerie?" Elinor asked.

Hiccup looked up in surprise at hearing her mention his mother by first name. "She's good. I didn't know you knew my mom," he said curiously.

"Oh yes. Val and I went to university together. We were good friends. Even won tennis tournaments together. Lost touch after though. Saw each other occasionally through business conventions," she replied.

"Huh? Didn't know that. I can give you her number if you'd like," Hiccup offered. He had known his mother studied aboard while in college. He had no idea she knew Merida's mother.

"That would be lovely," Elinor said gratefully.

"And how is Stoick?" Fergus asked.

"He's good sir," hiccup said with a smile.

"Ah that's good. Good man that one. Why I remember one time after a business convention me and him came to blows over who knows what," he said with a fond smile.

"Oh really?"

"Yep. Gave me a bloody nose and I gave him a black eye. But then we settled our differences over a pint," Fergus said laughing. "Who would've thought we'd become partners aye?"

Hiccup chuckled.

The rest of the dinner passed in relative silence. Hiccup still kept getting dirty looks from Fergus' friends but felt at ease when Merida grasped his hand in hers, letting him know she was beside him. He smiled at her gratefully. When everyone had finished their meals the maid staff came to clean and pick up the plates.

Elinor beckoned for Merida to join her in the kitchen. Merida raised an eyebrow but complied. She gave hiccup a kiss on the cheek before following after her mother. This left Hiccup all alone and at the mercy of the men.

"So, Hiccup, I don't suppose you're any good with a sword are ye?" the elder Macintosh asked with a smile.

Hiccup gulped nervously. He felt like a Viking in a room full of Scots.

In the kitchen Merida and her mother were preparing some ice tea for their guests. However, her mother's silence informed her she wanted to talk to her about something. With a sigh she decide to ask.

"Something you wanted to talk to me about mum?"

Elinor looked up from what she was doing to look her in the eyes. "Merida, are you sure it's wise to mix business with pleasure?" her mother asked raising an eyebrow.

Merida rolled her eyes. "Hiccup is a good man mum. And I'm not foolish. I've made sure the terms of our merger are fair for both our companies," Merida explained.

It seemed to put Elinor at ease as she relaxed. "So you like him then?"

Merida blushed and smiled shyly. "Aye mum. Ah really do," she said softly.

Elinor smiled and chuckled. "Well Ah can tell. Ah can't remember the last time you brought a man home to meet us," she joked playfully.

"Well, Hiccup is special. And Ah hope to be bringing him around more often," Merida said honestly.

"Well Ah think that'd be lovely. Now let's get back in their before your father's friends run him through," her mother suggested jokingly. With that they both picked up a tray of drinks and walked back to the dining room. But then they got there they found it empty. They were confused until they heard the faint sound of metal clanging against metal.

"Oh no they're really trying to kill him," Merida said as she paled with worry. She quickly ran to the next room for fear that one of her father's friends was trying to behead her boyfriend. She paused as she took in the situation before her.

In the wide room Hiccup was sword fighting with Ian Macintosh. And winning. She could now see the swords were dull practice swords so they weren't meant for killing anyway. She watched as Hiccup skillfully parried and countered Ian's stabs and slashes. She was quite impressed. He obviously knew what he was doing.

As she continued to watch him spar she felt her cheeks heat up. He had a confident smile on his face as he seemed to be enjoying the match. Then when Ian thrust his sword forward for a stab Hiccup dodged by spinning around him and out of sight. Before Ian could turn Hiccup had his sword at his neck. With that Fergus laughed and declared it Hiccup's victory. Everyone, even her father's friends, all clapped and laughed, impressed by Hiccup's swordsmanship.

Merida stood off the side as she fanned herself with her free hand.

"He was quite impressive wasn't he?" Elinor said as she came to stand beside her. Merida flushed red as her mother smirked knowingly. Soon she ushered Merida forward with the tray of drinks. Hiccup and the other noticed them before coming forward to take a glass.

"Thank you milady," Hiccup said gratefully as he took a glass and began to chug it down. Merida blushed as she watched him drink it.

"Good show lad," Fergus said impressed at his side.

"Oh aye, a grand match," Ian said in agreement. The others all agreed. Hiccup nodded in appreciation.

"Thanks. My dad and mom had me take lessons. Guess they stuck," he said with a shrug.

"By the way lad I couldn't help but notice you walk a little strange," Fergus pointed out.

Hiccup flushed a little. "Oh yeah," he paused to pull up his pant leg enough so his robotic leg could be seen. "No one really notices it anymore."

"Well I can tell from experience," Fergus explained as he lifted up his own prosthetic. "How did you lose your if ya don't mind my asking?"

"Just a car accident. Nothing special," Hiccup replied.

"And who made that for ye?" Fergus inquired curiously.

"Oh I made it myself," Hiccup said proudly. Everyone was impressed as they murmured amongst themselves. Merida only smiled happily, glad they all seemed impressed by Hiccup.

The rest of the night was small talk as they learned more about Hiccup. Hiccup in turn learned that the Macintosh's owned a communications company, the Dingwalls owned a ship and plane building company, while the McGuffins owned a pharmaceuticals company. Hiccup was impressed and learned as much as he could before they left. And then with pleasant goodbyes he and Merida left, but not before promising to visit them again.

Merida smiled, the promise an indicator that Hiccup expected to be with her for some time. With that Merida drove them to a nearby town to stay at an inn. Hiccup had asked why they didn't stay with her parents since they offered. Merida only smiled and said she didn't want to make too much noise.

Hiccup blushed deeply as he let Merida lead them to their room. When they got inside Merida put a do not disturb sign on the door knob before turning to give Hiccup a hungry smile.

There would be no more interruptions. No more waiting.

"I don't see why we don't attack them now," Pitch snarled as he spoke to Mor'du and Drago via live video feed. "We know where they are and where the sword is, let's just go and take it."

"Don't be a fool Pitch," Drago growled out beside Mor'du. "Fury surely has security inside his base. It would be idiotic to just go in without a plan."

Pitch opened his mouth to argue when Mor'du cut in. "Aye, Drago is right Pitch. Just have patience. Besides, we need to find the last stone before we get the sword. And Archer will lead us right to it," Mor'du said with a dark smile.

"In the mean time I have an idea on how to infiltrate the base," Gothel piped in. Everyone turned to her and raised an eyebrow. Gothel was probably the most cunning of all of them. "So, here's what I think we should do," she began. The others listened intently as she relayed them her plan.

The heroes had no idea what was coming.

Finally…finally…by every god in existence finally, Hiccup thought to himself. Inside their hotel room Hiccup and Merida were doing what they'd both been wanting to do for the longest time. And it was glorious.

Merida was on top as she liked to be as she grinded her hips down onto Hiccup's. The lamp on their night stand was the only light in the room. It illuminated her form as she closed her eyes and rocked back and forth. As she had hoped Hiccup's hands were indeed clever as they traveled up and down her form. Teasing and playing with her breasts, tracing his fingertips over her stomach, making her shiver, shudder, and moan with desire.

She had also been delighted to discover that Hiccup was pleasantly large. He filled her up so nicely, reaching deep inside and hitting a place she hadn't known was there until now. She looked down at Hiccup and smiled to herself.

Hiccup didn't just seem to fill her physically. But he completed her. His passion and fire matched her own, but he could temper her hot headed nature with his tactful mind and calm reasoning. He was a man willing to give so much to others without asking for anything in return. And it made her love him all the more.

And as she watched him, with his head thrown back and mouth open as he relished being inside of her, she thought herself the luckiest woman alive to have found him. Leaning down she licked at the shifting muscles in his neck, earning groans that made her urgent grinding increase.

"Oh god," Hiccup groaned out huskily as her quickened pace threatened to send him over the edge. But just then he seemed to be at the peak she slowed. It was almost tortuous. He honestly had no idea how he'd lasted so long. Not having had sex in five years made everything more sensitive. And Merida was so tight, so warm, so inviting that he was on the verge of tears from how good she felt.

He wanted to reach his end, but at the same time never stop. He wanted her to go faster, but at the same time take it slow. It was maddening. His brain was threatening to explode. He opened his eyes just a crack so he could gaze up at her form.

She was beautiful. Her face flushed red as she panted and moved her hips back and forth. Her hair, everywhere, alive, and so red that it looked like fire. She glistened with a thin sheen of sweat. She was like a goddess in his eyes.

Merida slowed her pace to just feel him. She kissed and sucked at his neck, tasting him and earning a moan that made her desire for him grow. She wanted him lose himself inside of her. She had to see it.

"Hiccup…please…look at me," she pleaded softly. She rose up and leaned over him, her hair falling down and cascading around her. He opened his eyes and she gazed into his green orbs. Eyes that held limitless intelligence and love. Placing her hands onto his chest for support she slowly started to increase her pace.

Hiccup hissed and growled as Merida started speeding up. But one look into her blue eyes told him that this was it. He moved his hands down from her chest, he ran them down along her spine, making her shiver and twitch before fairly gripping her hips. Then with a grunt he began to pull her down against him while bucking up to meet her, matching her demanding and needy rhythm.

Merida cried out as she felt Hiccup's hips thrusting upward to meet her. Her hips began to move as if on their own as she felt the growing warmth pooling in her stomach.

"Oh god! Hiccup! Oh god!" Merida started to lose herself as her rhythm faltered and became random and wild, all roiling desire and need as she desperately tried to find release. She felt Hiccup twitch and throb inside of her before with one final thrust she snapped.

She screamed as her walls clenched around Hiccup and she found her release. And with a few more thrusts Hiccup followed after her, throwing his head back with a loud groan as he held her hips down against him tightly. She rode out the waves of his orgasm as she came down from her own high. When they were both done their breathing was ragged before Merida rolled off him to snuggle against him. Hiccup reached down and pulled a blanket up over them.

"Was…that…good?" Merida asked between pants. She already knew the answer but she wanted to hear him say it.

"Definitely worth the wait," Hiccup said with a nod as he stared up at the ceiling. He felt light headed and amazing at the same time.

"You were amazing," Merida said with a smile.

Hiccup smiled, his ego soaring. He kissed her on her the and took a whiff of her. She smelled nice. "You were amazing," was all he could think to say before he wrapped an arm around her.

With that they settled down, enjoying each other's company and looking forward to what their relationship could bring. And after 20 minutes Merida was feeling frisky.

She craned her head up to look him in the eyes. "Let's go again," she said with a smile.

"Uhm…not sure I can," Hiccup said embarrassed. He was feeling pretty exhausted. But Merida wouldn't have any of that as she straddled his hips. "Merida really, I mean the spirit is willing, but the flesh is tender and squishy," Hiccup said to try and reason with her.

Merida only looked at him with a wolfish grin. "Aww, wee lamb. Let me kiss it and make it all better," she purred out as she began sliding downward before she disappeared under the blankets. Her hair created a slight bump before it began bobbing up and down.

Hiccup threw his head back and groaned in pleasure.

If I die tonight…I would go a happy man.

Merricup fluff. Hiccup finally gets laid. Had to do it. Poor guy. And he met the folks. Oh and somethings a brewing. Hope you like.
