AN: Hey everyone! I can't believe I got 12 reviews last chapter! That's just crazy!

It seems like most of you want the lemony sweetness, amarite? Your wish is my command! After the wedding… I just can't do it now… It would make the whole process of building a relationship pointless… Enjoy!

P.S. I know how to write lemons because I have already done it in my previous fanfics so I'm not as clueless as you guys think ;)

Setting: During Dragon Training

"Why Do I Have This Feeling of Dread for my Body"

Hiccup was pacing inside the stadium after everyone left, leaving him alone to think. He was debating whether he was going to do it or not. He knew there was no other way but it was too risky. Not to mention Astrid would probably laugh at him until they die. No, I will not let my pride get the best of me! I will do this to help me and Astrid with the dragon training! With that thought in mind, he left the stadium with determination towards his destination.

Meanwhile with Astrid and Ruffnut, Astrid didn't know Ruff was going to take her but she was curious enough to be dragged around. After being dragged for about 3 minutes, they finally arrived at their destination, the tree where Astrid admitted to Ruffnut that she liked Hiccup.

"So, care to tell me why you dragged me all the way here?" Astrid asked as she and Ruff sat under the shade of the big tree.

"What is happening between you and Hiccup?" Subtlety was not one of Ruffnut's strong points. Astrid opened her mouth but before she could answer Ruffnut cut her off "And don't you dare tell me that you don't know what I'm talking about or else" Ruffnut warned

Astrid sighed. Well, I was planning in telling her about me and Hiccup. She would eventually know sooner or later anyway. "Hiccup already knows I like him even before I told you about it."

Ruffnut's eyes widened "Really? Then why did you force me to keep it quiet from him?" she demanded

Astrid shrugged "Because, knowing him, he would just sputter nonsense and make ridiculous lies about it."

Ruffnut narrowed her eyes "Wait, so are you telling me that the two of you are in a relationship or something?"

"I don't know" Astrid mumbled "I mean, he asked me before if I wanted to be his girlfriend but I told him to wait."

"When was that?"

Astrid blushed "You know, a long time ago…"

Ruffnut snorted "What? Like a year or something?"

"Make that 2 actually. Give or take a few months"

"Hold it right there!" Ruffnut brought her hand up to stop Astrid from talking "Are you telling me that Hiccup, the old Hiccup, actually had the balls to talk to you?" Ruffnut leaned back "Wow, It must've sucked to be him. I mean, it's not like you two were already that close for him to be comfortable enough to ask you out, right?"

Ruffnut gave Astrid an inquisitive look and noticed that the latter was blushing scarlet. Ruffnut widened her eyes once more "Please tell me I'm wrong" she begged "Astrid, you're joking right?"

Astrid sighed "I think it's best if I told you everything." She then glared at her "And I swear to Odin that if you told anyone about this…" she left it hanging there because the message was clearly sent because Ruffnut paled

"Uh yeah sure… no worries…" Ruffnut laughed nervously

Astrid breathed "Ok, it all started five years ago when I was training in the woods whe-"

"Wait, 5 YEARS ago?"

"Yes, would let me finish already?" Astrid asked exasperated

Ruff raised her arms to show that she was indeed keeping quiet.

After an hour or two, Astrid finally finished telling her stories of her and Hiccup to Ruffnut.

"Wow" Ruff exhaled, seemingly drained from all the information she got from the other blonde "All this time and he just pretended to be beaten up"

"I know. I even beat him up once because he was being an idiot. Letting Snotface pummel him and everything"

Ruffnut suddenly looked a little nervous "So… uhm Astrid" she fidgeted, which was uncharacteristic of her "how did you actually get his attention?"

"Why do you want to know?" Astrid was suddenly curious

Ruffnut shrugged while trying to control her blush "Nothing really. I just, you know, wanted to test that if it is really effective or not."

"Woah, woah, woah!" Astrid laughed "Are you serious? Is it Fishlegs?" she asked excitedly and Ruffnut shushed her

"Don't be so loud! Someone might hear you!"

The two girls then proceeded to talk about their respective crushes.

Well, I'm here. Now what? Hiccup asked himself as he stood infront of the entrance to the cove. He hadn't really thought on how to get near the dragon without being squashed, bitten and/or killed. He finally came to the decision that he was only going to stay at the entrance where he was close enough to observe the dragon and far away enough to run from it.

Hiccup flopped on the grass and waited for the dragon to show itself. Thankfully, it wasn't too long because the dragon could smell him getting closer. The dragon noticed that the boy was weaponless and it decided that he was not a threat.

Hccup raised an eyebrow as the night fury sat down on the grass with its two front paws were raised, just like a dog's.

Hiccup and the dragon stared at each other for about 5 minutes when the former suddenly said "I'm sorry" which caught the dragon off guard because vikings normally didn't apologize to any dragon. "I know you still hold a grudge at me for cutting up your tail so I'm here to make amends" he said the word 'amends' like it was in some foreign language. He couldn't believe that he was apologizing to a dragon of all things!

"My name is Hiccup, what's yours?" he smacked his face as the dragon just gave him a deadpan look "What am I doing? Since when can a dragon respond to human language? Maybe Astrid was right… Maybe I am crazy."

5 minutes later…

"Hahaha I know right! She thought I was asleep so she started picking her nose right infront of me!" Hiccup laughed his head off as the dragon just stared at him like he had grown a second head. This started when Hiccup thought that it was a great idea making fun of Astrid. What he didn't on count was that Astrid was already there listening to them just after he introduced himself.

Astrid was currently biting the wooden handle of her axe with a very red face. "I'm going to kill him" she muttered darkly

"There was also that time when I accidentally switched her water for oil. It was an accident but it was sure funny as hel as she started to clean her tongue with dirt! I was really trying my best not to laugh" he laughed so hard that he fell on his back

"No, killing him would be easy" she suddenly smiled, a smile that could even scare Stoick and force him to run under his bed. She slowly crept towards the laughing boy.

Hiccup had his arm over his eyes so he didn't see Astrid stood above him "Whew… I also remember that time when I told her that her cooking was amazing… Believe me, I bet even dragons wouldn't eat the stuff she would cook"

"Oh really?" a voice that sounded so familiar to him asked mockingly

Hiccup didn't even flinch but his smile disappeared "Why do I have this feeling of dread for my body?" he asked monotonously.

"Any last words?" she asked as she cracked her knuckles

Hiccup still didn't remove his arm from his face, fearing what he would see if he did "Yes, it was worth it…"

A girlish scream could be heard all over the forest as Astrid pounced on him.

AN: That was fun :D Enjoy and review!
