"Was That Really Necessary"

"Hiccup! Breakfast!" Stoick's voice boomed from downstairs.

Hiccup jerked from his bed, instantly awake from his father's call.

Hiccup yawned as he stretched his aching bones from the position of his sleep. He stood up and looked at his reflection. He smiled to himself. He couldn't believe how much he changed from the time he started training with Astrid five years ago.

He was currently 5'6", only a half a head taller than Astrid. He didn't have bulging muscles though since his training didn't require him to build that much muscles. Instead he had lean muscles from all the running and climbing he did. He flexed his arm and he was not disappointed by the bulge produced by it. His hairstyle stayed the same because Astrid liked it that way, not that he was going to complain or anything.

His normal clothes consisted of a long sleeved cotton vest, long pants, leather vest and boots. With all his clothing on no wonder nobody noticed how buffed he looked. Astrid didn't mind though, she even said "That means less competition." Whatever that meant.

"Hiccup!"

"Coming!"

Hiccup jogged down the stairs and entered the dining hall where his father was already sitting opposite of him, biting a turkey leg.

"Son, we need to talk." Stoick began

"About what?"

"About Astrid" his father looked rather seriously and Hiccup resisted the urge to reply dryly

"What about her?"

Stoick sighed "I think it's better if you stop seeing her"

XXXXX

"What do you mean stop seeing Hiccup?!" Astrid shrieked as her father told her not to see Hiccup

"Look Astrid, it's not tha' I don' approve of yer relationship with him…"

XXXXX

"Of course" Hiccup snorted "I mean, you did set our marriage behind our backs" he said dryly

Stoick glared at Hiccup "Let me finish. I'm only restricting you from seeing her for a week"

XXXXX

"A week?" Astrid asked curiously

Grudge nodded "Aye, because I think Hiccup is tryin to use yer weaknesses against ya"

XXXXX

Hiccup soffed "Astrid would not do something like that"

"Of course she won't" Stoick said matter-of-factly "It's her-"

XXXXX

"Father you should worry about" Grudge warned

"You're kidding me right? Stoick? The chief?" Astrid shook her head and headed for the door "If you need me, you'll know where to find me."

She slammed the door before her father could continue trying to convince her.

She went to the forge, hoping Hiccup was there. To her luck, she just saw him went inside. She jogged the rest of the way because she missed him. When she was just a feet away from him, she jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Hiccup jumped in surprise but instantly relaxed when he felt familiar arms around him. He looked around his shoulders and smiled at her

"Hey" he kissed her nose

Astrid beamed "Hey yourself. I missed you."

Hiccup chuckled at her antics. He just couldn't predict her. One moment she could wrestle with a giant bear and come out unscathed and another when she would crawl in his bed and cuddle with him all night. The latter sounded very good, very good indeed.

Astrid glared at him because he didn't respond to her. How dare he!

"Ehem" Astrid coughed

"What?" he asked, confused

"So you don't miss me, is that it?" she asked angrily and let go of him to cross her arms

"Woah, woah of course I missed you! I mean, why wouldn't I?" he said as he tried to touch her but she just scooted away.

"That doesn't change the fact that you didn't respond to me"

Hiccup groaned. This was what he meant. Girls. He could never figure them out. They were dangerous creatures.

"I'm sorry, ok?" he mumbled

"Fine, I forgive you" she said as she approached him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "I love that I can do this to you and knowing that you won't take advantage of me."

Hiccup snorted "Of course, because it's very clear that I'm incapable of doing such acts towards you." His voiced dipped with sarcasm.

Astrid just shrugged it off, clearly used to it. "By the way, my father told me to stay away from you for a week."

Hiccup's eyes widened "He did? My dad did the same thing!"

"Seriously?! It's like they're both planning this!"

"I know right! I mean, it's not like I need to cheat to beat you" Hiccup mentally slapped himself. That was a bad thing to say. He had to open his mouth, didn't he?

Hiccup looked towards her impassive face.

Not. Good.

"And just what do you mean by that?" Astrid asked slowly.

"I didn't me-mean anything by it!" he tried to reason "What I was trying to say wa-"

"What? That you're better than me?" Astrid huffed "That I'm not a threat to you?" she approached him and poked him on the ribs "Listen here Haddock, I will beat you. Mark my works." She turned and walked away but stopped when she walked just a few steps. She looked him in the eye and Hiccup noticed that she wasn't actually mad at him "I'll see you in a week. Oh, and I'll miss you" she jogged back to him to kiss him on the cheek and ran out of the forge to start training.

Hiccup just stood there and sighed… He promised to himself that he would never, NEVER, try and understand girls.
