Prank

It was one of these days that he cherished. The sky was bright, the sun was shining brightly, the atmosphere was calm and serene. No more dragon raids, Outcasts' attack, or even the Berserkers ambush. The perfect day to spend time with his beautiful girlfriend, Astrid Hofferson.

The creak of the door was heard from the Haddock residence. Hiccup walked out in his trademark leather suit with his dragon scale helmet in hand. He slowly descended the stairs in front of his enormous house which was placed on top of a hill. Whilst whistling a tune, Hiccup's mind traveled back in time where he and Astrid had become a couple.

It was not long after the peace between Vikings and dragons, when both of them finally had the courage to come clear about their feelings. Hiccup was most surprised, much to Astrid's expectation. Though she was no different either. So, cutting a long story short, they soon turned into a pair that was well known by their peers.

As Hiccup observed the village in motion, people passed by and greeted him nicely. He nodded with a smile and continued his walk towards the house of his love. Despite the inviting condition to fly, Hiccup chose to walk instead rather than being on the back of his best friend, Toothless. He looked upwards the horizon and his eyes glinted with excitement.

Meanwhile, two girls were making a commotion inside the Hofferson household. One of them was standing on a chair whilst holding a bucket of water.

"Hold the door in position!" Ordered Astrid. Ruffnut, who was holding the door, moved it slightly so Astrid could balance the bucket atop it.

"Is this enough?" Asked Ruffnut. Astrid tried to place the bucket again and waited for it to stop wobbling. Astrid cursed as the bucked tipped off and would have drenched Ruffnut if not for her quick movements. Ruffnut looked at her bestfriend knowingly before she chimed in.

"Hey Astrid. Why the sudden urge for mischief?" Ruffnut questioned curiously. Astrid wasn't a person who was fond of pranks. Yet there they were, setting up one of the most classic pranks for her own boyfriend to fall for.

"I've noticed how stressful he becomes lately. You know, with all the chief-in-training and stuffs. I just want him to freshen up and forget all about his tasks for once." Astrid smiled while catching the bucket that almost fell from the door tip. She placed it again and leaned it against the doorframe.

"Perfect! Okay Ruffnut, you can let go of the door." Ruffnut did what she was told and helped Astrid to return the chair back into its original spot.

"Do you think it'll work?" Astrid glanced at the trap and grinned.

"He won't even know what's coming."

Hiccup was closing in on Astrid's house when he heard a feminine scream. His ears perked instantly to locate the source of the sound. He could've sworn his heart almost stopped thumping in his chest. The voice was coming from the very place he was determined to go to. He immediately sprinted towards the location and ignored all the concerned stares from the passerby around him. His heart beat faster as his head screamed for his soulmate's safety. Hang on, Astrid! I'm coming!

The door slammed open with a bang. He had prepared himself for anything he had to see, but it was something that he did not expect at all. Water suddenly splashed him whole and soaked the inside of his armor. He dropped his helmet in surprise and found Astrid and Ruffnut laughing their heads off while kneeling and rolling on the floor.

"What the heck is going on here?" He grunted in pure annoyance, not by the joke—he was already used to Astrid pranking him, although he was still surprised when she did it—but he was ticked off because of the false alarm. If only they knew how scared he felt when he heard a cry came from the house. Still, seeing his girlfriend happy made a light smile to appear on his face. Astrid's laughter died down and she steadied herself to walk over towards him.

"Before you do anything. I just want to say, happy third anniversary, Hiccup. I love you." Not even wasting a second, Astrid jumped onto him after she said those words. Hiccup, who was doubled over with astonishment, regained his common sense and cupped her face before initiating one of their most heated kiss ever.

Ruffnut felt her job was done and bid goodbye with a smile. "Well, see ya later lovebirds!" No reply was heard from the couple who was kissing passionately. She shook her head in amusement. "I'm pretty sure that even Gobber's underwear can't pull you two apart." She glanced at them one more time before leaving the house.

After a really long and thrilling make out session, they finally parted and looked at each other. "Way to celebrate the day." Hiccup chuckled as Astrid punched his shoulder lightly.

"I'm pretty sure you'll get used to it." Retorted Astrid as she guided Hiccup outside the house and headed to the cove.

"Aside from being the main entertainment of my girlfriend and seeing her gorgeous smiling face on this spectacular day, I could certainly get used to it." Hiccup abruptly lifted Astrid off of the ground—which elicited a yelp of surprise from her—and carried her in his warm embrace. He flashed the boyish smirk that always sent butterflies inside her stomach flying and kissed her forehead tenderly.

"Now let's continue our 'celebration' shall we?" Astrid's cheeks flushed pink accompanied with a shy smile, which he thought was goddamn adorable. And they soon disappeared into the forest to resume their activities.

From his experiences, being pranked by his own girlfriend wasn't so bad of a thing after all. And maybe he could prank her back. But that's going to be a different story.

A/N: Not too disappointing was it? I know I could do better but I wasn't very imaginative at the moment. So, sorry for the short chapter and disappearing without any kind of warning. I hope you will stay around for the next chapter which I hope can be done without anymore hiatus. Keep on reading!
