"Why Didn't I Think of That"

Hiccup fluttered his eyes open and wished he hadn't because he was seeing spots and he also had a raging headache. He groaned as he covered his eyes with his arm. He remembered little to nothing what transpired yesterday, all he could remember was when Astrid gave him his third drink. He removed his arm from his eyes and rubbed his face with his hand. Hiccup reluctantly stood up and stretched his aching back. He successfully cracked his back and he finally noticed the lump next to him under the covers. He presumed it was Astrid so he just stood from his side of the bed and proceeded to go to the bathroom to wash his face.

He looked at his reflection on the looking glass and noticed that he was starting to grow stubbles. He smirked at that because it was the beginning of his ascension in becoming a real viking. Sure, he had muscles and could handle himself in a brawl but what truly defined a viking was his beard. Hiccup proceeded to wash his face with the water on the bucket and wiped it off with his shirt.

After washing off, Hiccup went downstairs to start breakfast since his fiancé was still asleep. When he arrived in the kitchen though, he saw Astrid's pie on the table untouched. He tried to remember what he thought about it last night but since he still had a headache he just shrugged it off and took a slice.

Hiccup was already on his third slice when he heard footsteps from upstairs. Astrid must be finally awake. He thought as he finished his pie and licked his fingers. While Astrid was busy moving around upstairs, Hiccup was back to thinking about his current project. He still didn't know how to design the arm. No matter how much he thought about it, it was still too complicated to make but if he gave up on that then he would have to resort to a human arm.

Astrid finally went downstairs and Hiccup was surprised to what she was wearing. What Astrid had on was one of his tunics which looked funny on her because it went down to her knees and the sleeves covered her whole arms. Hiccup couldn't help but feel proud because he hadn't realized before how big he was compared to his fiancé, not that size actually mattered.

Astrid smiled and waved at him while Hiccup returned it. She sat next to Hiccup on the kitchen table and took a slice of pie. She munched on it and looked at Hiccup. He had that look on his face again. The one where he always overthink things. She tapped him on the shoulder and got his attention.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked while she was chewing

"Oh, just about the prosthetic arm I'm going to make. I can't seem to grasp on how to make it more efficient and be less complicated at the same time."

Astrid sighed "Give me a charcoal and paper and let me show you how it's done." She said and Hiccup did what she asked. After handing her the things she asked for, Astrid started on her sketches. It didn't take her long though because all she did was draw a line which was bent once.

Astrid handed the drawing to Hiccup and he looked at it curiously. "I give up. What is it?"

"An arm" she said matter-of-factly

Hiccup gave her a deadpan look "Seriously Astrid, I have no time in analyzing your drawing of angles so if you don't mind-" Astrid smacked him on the head "Ow! Why so violent?"

"Ok, first things first, this is not a drawing of an angle." She said a she took the paper and raised it to eye level. "This is a drawing of a arm stick figure. Secondly, you are overcomplicating things. Why not start at the basics and continue until you've reached your desired design?"

Hiccup thought this through "You're right… What's the point in making it advanced when I haven't even covered the basics yet? Why didn't I think of that?"

"Because you were distracted by my naked body under this shirt?" she smirked since he seemed to haven't noticed her lack of clothing under his tunic.

"No, no that's definitely not the reason" he shook his head, clearly unaware of Astrid's nakedness "I think the reason is because I still have this headache and-" his eyes widened when it finally dawned on him. "Naked? What do you mean naked?" he asked in horror. All scenarios ran in his head on how their night had gone through but he still didn't remember anything.

Astrid smirked. It was time to play with Hiccup's mind. "Oh, don't you remember? You actually made the first move last night and forced me to get naked while you were busy pampering me." Astrid lied through her teeth and resisted the urge to laugh at Hiccup's pale face "Not to mention you were so rough the whole night."

Hiccup gulped "Whole night?"

Astrid just nodded "No need to worry though. I think you pulled out before things got out of hand"

Hiccup paled even more and started pacing the room "Oh no… Oh no, no, no! We did NOT just do THAT!" he frantically waved his arm around "What will dad think?! He's going to be so mad at me!" he stopped dead on his tracks and looked horrified "Who cares what my dad thinks?! It's your dad's I should be worried about! He's going to kill me!" he grabbed a handful of his hair "I'm too young to diiiiiiiiiieeeeeeee!" he screamed while he slammed the front door open and ran across the town screaming for no apparent reason.

Astrid stood inside his house in shock. She never would've thought that he would react that way. She sighed as she closed the door and cleaned the mess after Hiccup's sudden outburst. This was going to be a long day.

AN: Hey guys! Hope you enjoy this one!
