Sick

She was tired. After spending the whole morning flying, she went to the woods to get a little practice with her beloved axe. And then the evening, she jogged around the village. When her friends asked her she said it's for exercise. Hiccup had something to do earlier and haven't met her until the next day.

"Astrid, are you there?" Hiccup called while knocking the door.

"Hang on, I'll be right there in a minute" She yelled from the house. Hiccup stood in front of the door waiting for her to come out. The door opened and a smile made its way to Hiccup's lips, until he saw her face.

"Astrid, are you okay?" Hiccup asked concerned.

"What do you mean okay? I'm fine" She dismissively waved her hand.

"You look pale. Like you've been chased by a herd of yak throughout the village" Hiccup moved closer to inspect her.

"Your nose is red too. Okay, that's it. You're staying home missie" Hiccup pushed her back into the house and closed the door with his foot.

"Hiccup! You know I hate to stay in the house all day" She threw her arms above her, trying to give Hiccup the message.

"And you know I hate seeing you sick" Hiccup retorted while getting a warm cloth.

"Now lay down on the couch" He ordered her.

"Hiccup!" She pouted exasperatedly.

"It's either the couch or the bed" He eyed the stairs leading to her room.

"Oh alright. But just because I hate staying in my room all day more than here" She lazily walked to the couch and lied down.

"You have a high fever, Astrid" Hiccup placed his palm on her forehead.

"Hiccup, I'm fine, seriously" She sighed.

"What did you do yesterday?" He asked while watering the cloth and placed it on her.

"Nothing…" She lied.

"I never know doing nothing could get you sick" He replied sarcastically while rolling his eyes.

"Argh- Okay. I was riding with Stormfly in the morning and continued with my axe throwing in the forest and top it all up with a run around the village" She explained and looked to him. He rolled his eyes again.

"So much for nothing" The sarcasm could be heard by her.

"But it really is nothing! I'm losing my touch nowadays" She sighed frustrated.

"Did you get an injury or accident yesterday? Anything?" He asked curiously.

"Well… I got hit by a tree while flying. Slipped and rolled down the forest while training. And got chased by a wild boar while jogging" Hiccup's jaw dropped.

"Okay, now I'm really convinced you should rest" Hiccup pulled a blanket above her body.

"Let me make you a soup" He went to the hearth and started the fire. Astrid looked to the ceilings and lost in her own thoughts. Maaaybe it is pretty much for nothing. She chuckled.

"What's funny?" He asked confused.

"Huh?" She asked back dumbfounded.

"You were chuckling" Hiccup stated.

"Yes" She chuckled again.

"So what's funny?" He repeated the question.

"Nothing's funny. I just find it cute of how you take care of me" She giggled. He blushed and turned away.

"I-I think the soup's ready" He picked up the ladle and poured the soup into a bowl.

"Eat up" He handed the soup to her. She hesitated and looked into the soup. It was green.

"C'mon, eat it up" He said enthusiastically.

"Hiccup, I don't want to offend you but, is this… Thing, edible?" She looked like she was about to puke.

"What kind of question is that?" He chuckled facetiously.

"Just taste it first. Complement me afterwards" He grinned confidently and a little smug. She looked again into the bowl while thinking what would happen if this green liquid entered her mouth, or her intestine.

"I'm sure it doesn't look that good, heck, it looks horrible. But please eat it for me" He made puppy dog eyes on her while she just sighed.

"Remind me to punch you the next time you do that" She scowled.

"Only if you eat the soup" He smiled excited again.

"Fine…" She spooned the soup and put it in her mouth. She closed her eyes and prayed to Odin to let it taste good. And it actually did taste good.

"This, this is incredible!" She exclaimed while eating more of the soup.

"I knew you would like it" He smiled proudly.

"Wait, since when you cook better than my parents?" She asked after finishing the soup.

"Well, I do have someone to take care at home. Who do you think that cooked in my house? My dad? He may be a great chief. But he's a disaster on the cauldron" He laughed out loud.

"Reminds me of the time he tried cooking a fish. Out of all the fishes he caught, only two were edible enough to eat" He laughed and followed by her. Tears were coming out of their eyes.

"Oh, man. Really… I couldn't help myself not to laugh" Astrid said while wiping the tears off her face. He continued to laugh quietly. She finally stopped laughing and laid back down.

"I never knew that staying home would be this fun" She chuckled at the image of Stoick the Vast failed at cooking.

"Yeah me too" He smiled and the room went silent. They both chuckled again for a few minutes before giving a long sigh.

"Okay, it's time for you to sleep milady" He smirked.

"Hiccup! I don't want to!" She crossed her arms while pouting. He burst out laughing again.

"Oh, my. You should have seen yourself" He laughed uncontrollably while she glared half-heartedly at him.

"Seriously, you need to sleep Astrid. You'll recover faster" He tucked her upper body beneath the blanket and moved her bangs behind her ears.

"Now sleep for me will ya?" He smiled and she closed her eyes.

"Kiss me, Hic" She said sleepily at him.

"What? Are you kidding me? I might get sick" He chuckled at her antics.

"Seriously Hic. Kiss me now, on the lips" She looked at him with a determined face and stubborn eyes.

"C'mon Astrid. What will you gain from this?" He raised his eyebrows at her demand.

"Well as a couple, we should go through this together. So if I'm sick you should be sick with me" She explained. Hiccup laughed at her logic and suddenly stopped.

"Wait, we're a couple?" He asked surprised. She blushed realizing what she said and nodded.

"Do you want us to be one?" She asked back.

"To be truthful my answer is, yes" He fidgeted with his fingers nervously.

"A couple we are then" She smiled ecstatically and he returned the smile.

"But I was serious before. Please kiss me and we'll go through this together" She looked determined again. He sighed.

"Oh screw logic" He muttered loudly and kissed her. The kiss lasted for a minute before they parted.

"Mind if I join you?" He smirked.

"Be my guest. The couch is enough for two anyways" She smiled as he went under the blanket with her.

"Sleep tight milady" He kissed her forehead.

"You too babe" She smiled.

Sick is not pleasant. But this time, she'll take her chances.
