"Don't I Have A Say In This"

Hiccup sighed as Astrid dragged him around town while still being tied up. He just had to open his damned mouth again. He couldn't just keep quiet and not make it worse than it already was. For the record, Astrid didn't hit him. All she did was just jump on him with the rope. Not even a scratch. Though she still did humiliate him by parading around the village with him bounded.

But that didn't mean that he didn't like it… Ever since he and Astrid became a couple, their lives had become even more chaotic than it was before. This helped them to be always on their toes. It heightened their awareness. It also gave Hiccup the excuse to touch Astrid in inappropriate areas.

When Astrid was finally satisfied with what she did, she let Hiccup go and punched him on the arm. That was when Ruffnut and Heather came along and took Astrid with them by force. Astrid tried in vain to escape but both girls were had strong grips. Hiccup didn't know what they wanted with Astrid but he was not stupid enough to find out.

He was walking towards the forge to make some schematics for his future projects when he too was dragged away, but this time by the boys.

Hiccup sighed. He should've known something like this would happen so he just went with them without struggle. "Where are we going this time?"

Tuffnut wrapped an arm around Hiccup's broad shoulders "We're going swimming!"

"Swimming? Where exactly?" Hicucp narrowed his eyes. He didn't like where this was going

"The same place where we were peeping before!" Snotlout answered jovially while giving Tuffnut a high five.

Hiccup groaned. Why was he stuck with these guys… he looked towards the only other sane person in their group "Hey Legs, were you forced too?" Hiccup asked the rotund viking who was awfully quiet. To Hiccup's utter surprise, Fishlegs shook his head.

"I knew that they were going to force you so that's why I agreed with them" Fishlegs answered slowly.

"Me? Why me?" he really didn't know why he was the reason.

Fishlegs blushed crimson and looked at Snotlout and Tuffnut, making sure the two were not listening to their conversation "Because I need your help"

"I'm listening" Hiccup now had Fishlegs full attention.

"I-I like Ruffnut…" he whispered but Hiccup could still hear him.

Hiccup had to shook his head because he thought he heard wrong. But then again, he actually noticed how close the two have been these past few weeks. He even recalled Astrid telling him that Ruffnut once demanded Fishlegs to kiss her. He had to laugh at that. Isn't it supposed to be the guys who are aggressive and not the other way around?

"Legs… Trust me when I tell you this… Never, and I mean never, let her know your weaknesses because when she does, she will use them to her advantage."

"What do you mean by that?" Fishlegs asked, clearly not understanding what Hiccup was trying to say.

"Just, trust me, ok?"

"Ok, Hiccup"

"Oh and Legs?"

"Hmm?"

"Compliment her in everything she does because girls like those kinds of things. And don't question their motives."

This time Fishlegs nodded confidently because he could do that, probably.

"Hiccup, my man!" Tuffnut called and got the two geniuses attention. Tuffnut gave them a sardonic grin "We're here"

-With Astrid-

"Would you guys please let me go?" Astrid sighed. She had already given up in trying to escape through force and was now reduced to ask the same question in a constant loop.

Ruffnut groaned and wanted to smack her face if she wasn't holding Astrid "No matter how many times you'll ask us we'll never let you go. Until you agree to cooperate that is."

Astrid looked at Heather "Heather, could you please let me go?"

Heather just laughed "Sorry Astrid but orders are orders"

Astrid sighed again "Thought so…" Astrid once again looked at Ruffnut "Hey Ruff, you said something about me cooperating at something with you guys, what is it?"

Ruffnut sardonically at Astrid "I overhead my pinheaded brother and Snotlout talking something about swimming"

Astrid nodded mockingly "Good, they sure could use a bath." All the girls laugh at her joke.

"As I was saying… He said that they were going to swim in the lake in the forest. The one you told me about."

Astrid's eyes widened in recognition and mirrored Ruffnut's smile "I think I like where this is going…"

While the two blondes were giving each other sadistic smiles, Heather was looking at each of them confusingly. She didn't know what they were planning but one was for sure, she would love every minute of it.
