"Have You Learned Nothing"

Hiccup and Astrid stared at each other for what seemed like forever when it was only supposed to be 10 seconds.

"You three got ten seconds to run." She told the three crouching boys without actually looking at them.

"One" she started

"Listen, Astrid, they forced me to do this, I swear!" Fishlegs said frantically while waving his arms around as he started to back away from the naked viking.

"Two"

"Hey!" Tuffnut glared at Fishlegs "Way to go and betray us you coward!"

"Thre-" before Astrid could finished, Snotlout shouted

"Run!" as that single word came out from his mouth, the three boys bolted from the place and were gone in no time.

Astrid didn't even bat an eye as she was still focusing on the fidgeting boy infront of her.

"Well?" she cocked her hip and raised an eyebrow.

"I-uh… You see… I mean, it's not what it looks like" he stuttered

"Oh? Really?"

Hiccup groaned. This was going to be harder than he thought. "Fine, I can't prove anything because you saw me here with the others but at least don't be too hard on me." He resigned

Astrid didn't respond, instead she started walking towards him. He could see the determination in her eyes and the steeling of her jaw. He was going to call for help but it looked like the women in the lake were now gone.

Oh boy… This was it. He knew that he was going to die. He should've walked away. He should've tried to worm his way out. But eventually he gave in to temptation so now he had to pay the consequences.

Astrid was now a few feet from him. Blue eyes looked up and stared intently at green ones.

Hiccup decided that if he was going to fall then he was going to do it as a man. Before, he was shaking and slouching but now he stood resolutely and stared back at her. "Come on, hit me with your best shot" he challenged

Astrid smiled and grabbed the front of his tunic and pulled him down, catching his lips with hers. Astrid gave Hiccup opened mouth kisses as Hiccup was still shock to what was happening.

Astrid, naked, was kissing him. He wanted to touch her but decided against is since she wasn't wearing anything.

Astrid ended the kiss with a wet smack and smiled sweetly at him. "Was that challenging enough?" she asked seductively.

A lot might have changed to Hiccup but he still stuttered whenever he was flustered or embarrassed. He tried to say something but the only thing he did was flap his mouth soundlessly.

"I know you really weren't peeking at the girls."

Hiccup finally recovered and raised an eyebrow "Oh really? And how did you come up with that conclusion?"

"Because you are the type of guy who respects a woman's privacy, even if it was an accident."

Hiccup sighed in relief. He was actually lucky enough to dodge an arrow there.

Without warning, Astrid punched him on the arm.

"Ow! What was that for?!" he asked as he rubbed his swelling arm. He still wasn't strong enough to withstand her punches.

"That's for throwing a rock at me" she said

"Well, I didn't me-wait, how did you know it was me who threw it?"

"Because when I charged here the other three were still crouching which meant that they didn't have the time to execute it. But, if they were standing then I still have reason why they didn't do it. One, Snotlout couldn't have done it because of obvious reasons. Two, Tuffnut was dumb enough to follow what Snotlout did. Three, Fishlegs doesn't have the heart to face angry female vikings. You, on the other hand, were only one standing among the others and were fast enough to outrun anyone of those girls."

"I didn't account to you though."

"Yep, you didn't"

"Astrid?"

"Yes?"

"Would you mind wearing clothes?"

"Why? Does it bother you?"

Hiccup cleared his throat and collected his thoughts. He decided to stick to the truth "If I said yes then I would be lying and if I said no then I would sound like a pervert."

Astrid smiled and pecked him on the lips "Good answer." She grabbed his hand and led him to the lake.

"Where are you taking me?" he asked

"What's it look like? We're skinny dipping!"

"We're what?!" he shrieked

"Did I stutter? No, so we're going to do it and you're going to like it." She said matter-of-factly.

Hiccup was panicking. Not once in his life did anyone see his naked body. Even if he had muscle now he was still self-conscious.

"Astrid, come on, it's not that I don't want to do it. It's just that I need to train some more."

Astrid just looked at him incredulously "Hiccup, a girl just invited you to go skinny dipping with you and you just make up excuses so you don't have to go?" Astrid shook her head and sighed "Why did I even fall in love with you."

"Because of my awesomeness?" he offered

"Hmm" Astrid thought about it. "Nah…" she laughed as he slouched

Astrid let go of Hiccup's hand as they were now at the edge of the lake.

"Now, take your clothes off." Astrid commanded

Hiccup sighed once again. He really was whipped. But who was he to complain, though, when the girl of his dreams was naked infront of him.

Hiccup raised his tunic just above his shoulder when he heard Astrid gasp. He looked at her and noticed he was staring at his abdomen.

Astrid, in all her life, never saw Hiccup take off his tunic. She wasn't disappointed. Hiccup looked absolutely delicious to her. From his broad shoulders to his chiseled stomach. Odin's ghost! I wonder how hard it is. She licked her lips. She was going to enjoy this.
