This chapter is a bit longer than the last one so enjoy.
Astrid punched Tuffnut in his guts and screamed at him "you moron, you should have said something earlier".
"It would have been rude of me to interrupt you" Tuffnut defended himself.
"Alright, alright Astrid calm down we need to get to land because this ship will sink when it becomes high tide" Hiccup interjected with a calm voice.
"You know I actually agree with Hiccup on this, I don't like swimming that mutch" Snotlout said still rubbing his sore chin.
"I'm not a big fan of getting wet either you know, because it messes with your hair and stuff" Tuffnut agreed while he was still lying on the ground where he had collapsed after Astrid punched him.
"by the gods, sometimes I really question if you are a guy" the female twin stated condescendingly while looking at her brother who was still laying on the ground, she turned around and started to help Hiccup and Astrid to unload everything that could be useful. This was mostly weapons, the lillte food they had left and some weird meatal cage Hiccup had dragged along from Berk covered with a black tarp.
Astrid noted to herself that she should was what was in the cage.
When they reached the shore they took inventory of everything they had what was very lillte, the twins had both to spears, Astrid had her double-bladed axe and a single-bladed axe with her, Snotlout his bludgeon and a sword and shield, Hiccup only had a sword and bow with him with both he wasn't very good.
"okay, Hiccup what is the plan we don't have a ship and just enough food for one meal" Astrid asked.
"you're right Astrid we need a plan, Snotlout take Tufnutt and scout the area any settlements or other signs of live" both boys Hiccup talked to nodded picked up their weapons and wanted to start going when Hiccup asked them one last thing.
"Both of you know that we are in possible hostile territory so fucking around, got it?"
"yes, boss man" Tuffnut said while Snotlout nodded affirmatively.
When the boys were out of earshot Astrid asked Hiccup "why did you send those muttonheads on reconnaissance while Ruf and I are way stealthier".
"for that exact reason" Hiccup started to explain "because you two are that much stealthier I want both of you to start hunting, those two would scare of any possible prey".
"okay, got it" Astrid said while she and Ruffnut turned around to start their hunt when Hiccup threw them his bow and a quiver full of arrows.
"where is the fun in using a bow?" Astrid asked.
"it may be less fun but it is more effective for small prey, while your axe or Rufs spear would obliterate anything smaller than deer" Hiccup said with a crooked grin.
When the girls were out of sight he walked over to the cage and muttered under his breath "time to send Fish a messages" he pulled the tarp of the cage inside was a terrible terror who Fishlegs had trained during their competition for who the best dragontrainer was. Hiccup started writing he asked Fishlegs how things were back at Berk and if it would be possible to make a map of the defences the Outcast had placed. When he was done writing he attached the note to the terror and told it to go to Fishlegs, after the terror had taken of the only thing Hiccup could do was hope that thing would go well and that the terrible terror would find its way back to Berk and that Alvin hadn't found out about that way of communicating.
After a few minutes of thinking Hiccup found to be best to set up camp there. They had three tents with them so people had to sleep in tents together. Hiccup had made a fire and was halfway done with setting up camp when the boys came back from their reconnaissance. Tuffnut collapsed by the fire, Snotlout went to Hiccup "he Hiccup it looks like the eastside of the island is uninhabited we found no signs of any human being going there ever" the big guy reported to Hiccup looking tired.
"that's good news, thanks Snotlout good work" Hiccup thanked the big guy looking up from the ground where he was setting up the last tent.
It was slowly getting dark and Hiccup started to worry about the girls when they came out of the forest with between them a deer and several fat looking birds.
Both of the girls were looking quite content with themselves.
"it looks like you had a good hunt" Hiccup said looking happy not because they had fresh food but because Astrid came home safely.
"hell yeah we" both girls said while high-fiving each other and crashed next to the boys. Hiccup started on the food, Snotlout saw an opening to make a move on Astrid and put an arm around Astrid's shoulder, she retaliated by shoving his face into the sand which made both twins laugh and Hiccup smile.
After diner what had surprised al the teens by the quality of Hiccup's cooking they were getting ready to go to sleep but before that they had to make sleeping arrangements. Snotlout seeing another chance to make another move on Astrid "he babe you can come and sleep in one tent with me" he said while trying to look impressive by flexing his muscles. Hiccup who had about enough of Snotlout constantly hitting on Astrid, walked up to Snotlout to punch his lights out again but Ruffnut was faster than him and clocked Snotlout in his stomach and whispered in his ear "he dipshit if I were you I would stop hitting on Astrid otherwise I think Hiccup is going to end you".
"why would Hiccup want to end me if I keep hitting on Astrid, it's not like they're together or something" Snotlout grunted trying to catch his breath.
Ruffnut was about to fall over from laughter, Snotlout who had no idea what was so funny looked at her with a dumbfounded expression on his face.
"wait, wait, wait you actually don't know what I mean, in that case don't worry about it" Ruffnut said still trying to stop laughing.
"enough fun for today, Snotlout and Tuff sleep in one tent, Ruff and Astrid go together" Hiccup started to tell everyone when Astrid interrupted him with a small voice "Hiccup I was actually hoping that I could sleep with you".
Ruff whistled at that comment "no not like that you pervert" Astrid said looking very annoyed and a little scared because Hiccup hadn't answered her yet.
Then Hiccup cracked a smile "of course you can sleep with me and not in the dirty sense" he hugged Astrid, she smiled and kissed his cheek. "well guys we've had a long day time to go to sleep"
"wait, wait, wait so Astrid and Hiccup are a couple?" Snotlout asked looking extremely confused "but Ruff said that you weren't"
"he numskull I never said that I only said that you shouldn't worry about"
"Ruff is right you know she never told you that Hiccup and Astrid weren't a couple that's what you made of it" her twin said.
"okay that's enough of confusing Snotlout for today towmorro we will continue so good night" Hiccup said turning around and walking towards his tent with Astrid behind him who was looking at his ass when he bend over to get into the tent.
Ruff had seen Astrid looking at Hiccup's rear and yelled "have fun you two but don't make too much noise okay because people will try to actually sleep"
Astrid ignored her, Snotlout wanted to say something but Tuffnut was him first "my man don't try to understand girl's it's impossible"
Inside Hiccup's tent Astrid had taken off her armoured skirt and shoulder pads, she turned around to see Hiccup taking of his prosthetic.
She lied down on the furs that Hiccup had laid on the floor and pulled another on her waiting for Hiccup to lay down next to her.
Hiccup laid down but with his back to, after few minutes he heard Astrid silently sobbing. Hiccup turned to Astrid "what's wrong Astrid?"
"why do you keep turning me down?"
"you know I would never turn you down" Hiccup told her.
Astrid turned around so they laid face to face "yes you say that, but you turned me down two times today" she said sounding hurt.
"when have I turned you" it hit him he had turned her down twice that day when she wanted to sleep in his tent and when she was laying in his bed and he didn't lay down next to her "I'm so sorry Astrid I never meant to turn you down but I thought it was bit early to do such thing in our relationship or whatever we have"
A little smile crept on Astrid's face when she heard Hiccup apologize and she knew he hadn't meant to hurt her but he was afraid to hurt her.
"you know Hiccup I understand but when I asked to sleep with you I didn't want to have sex with you, I just wanted to sleep next to the one person who I actually give a damn about"
Astrid turned around purred when Hiccup put an arm around her waist and the other under shoulder and pulled her close.
She sighed contently and soon fell asleep.
Well I hope you liked it I had a hard time writing the last paragraph I've rewritten it about four times.
I've had a very good question from PureCrystal why I've rated this story M. This is because not all the stories will be as family friendly. Later on in the story there will be graphic contents like blood, murder, violence and torture I'm not sure about sex just yet but it will be if you want it.
