Can't believe this is the first smut I wrote for Hiccstrid. Nothing too crazy or graphic, I honestly think it's toeing the line between a heavy T. I'm not gonna change the rating to M just yet but I guess let me know if I should.

Stoick tasked Hiccup with an expedition possibly greater than going into the Great Beyond. With the demise of Johann, Berk is without any prominent trading partners.

Hiccup was to bring a small group with him to explore various trading posts on the mainland and broker an agreement with several to haul their goods to Berkian shores.

Hiccup chose to bring Snotlout, Fishlegs, and surprisingly Kar. He deemed it was important for the kid to get some more miles under his belt with his dragon Snaggletooth. His choices were presented and approved in this morning's meeting.

The others didn't mention him not bringing Astrid. Usually, they were a packaged pair but they trusted that he had his reasonings...let's hope Astrid could as well.

He hadn't seen Astrid all day and he hoped he could finally see her at lunch in the Great Hall. He wanted to be the one who told her about the trip and explained why he didn't pick her.

He spotted her braid ahead of him at the top of the stairs leading to the doors.

"Astrid! Hey Astrid!" He called out to her.

She quickly ducked her head inside. He frowned slightly but realized she probably didn't hear him.

He heard the raucous laughter of the villagers. He was probably one of the last ones in.

Not looking in front of him, he ended up straight up on his back as soon as he pushed open the door. His mouth felt numb as he groaned, touching his reddening lips.

His previously dazed eyes focused on the shield that smacked him in the face. The person attached to the shield was Astrid.

In the back of his mind, he must've realized she heard of the news already.

Some in the hall quieted down after seeing Hiccup go down. Others carried on like nothing happened, after all, it was normal to see Vikings fight in the hall or in the square to settle an argument.

Hiccup got on his feet and held out his arms in a placating manner. "My love..."

"Never mind that, defend yourself."

She thrusted the shield at him again which he dodged to the side. Vikings around them gave a wide berth and some actively encouraged the fight, the twins of course being two of them. Astrid swung the shield wildly, backing him up into one of the tables. He ducks but catches the edge of it in the ribs.

"Am I not good enough for you?" She grunts swinging again.

Hiccup grabbed a hold, pushing the shield and her back to give himself more room. He throws a drinking horn at her which she blocks.

"Am I not strong enough for you?"

A plate, another drinking horn, someone's helmet. He tried to bombard her with stuff to escape, but Astrid wasn't having it. She bull-rushed him straight in the chest and he went over the table. The crash brought more attention to the arguing couple as more got into it and cheered for more destruction.

He found himself on his back again, the breath knocked out of him. A group of large Vikings stood above him. One of them was his father. Belatedly he must've wrecked the chief's table. Alaric, Osvif, Spitelout, and Gobber all peered down at him. It was his father that offered him a hand up.

"I don't suppose you would want to intervene do you?" Hiccup asked in a casual tone as he spit a glob of blood into the open fire pit.

"Hmm...not particularly. A cheifing lesson son, never get between a lover's quarrel."

A drinking mug filled with mead hit him in the face. Hiccup grunted at the impact, scrunching his face. "Good to know."

"Maybe you should just take her Hiccup," Osvif suggested.

"And have her win?" He quirked an eyebrow. "Not on your life." He dodged another flying object.

Hiccup hopped back over the table, pushing his shoulder directly into the shield. Her back hit the end of one of the tables. He barred his weight against her. Both of them panting in exertion.

"Enough of this, be reasonable Astrid."

That served only to piss her off more. Gritting her teeth, she was able to throw him back.

"I am so angry with you!" She hit him again.

Hiccup groaned again. He was seriously tired of getting beat up. His annoyance increased.

Astrid came at him again with the shield but this time he was prepared. He sacrificed the side of his face as he crouched when she thrust the shield at him. One hand was on the shield and the other grasped the inside handle. He used Astrid's momentum against her. When he sprang to his full height, unable to stop herself, she flipped over his shoulder. Hiccup wretched the shield away as she hit the table hard. He threw the weapon into the crowd.

Hiccup pressed himself between her legs. His hands held down her arms as his face was only a breath away from hers. Without realizing it, his eyes were locked on her mouth. Her scowl, the way her teeth clamped down on her tongue to not curse him to the Gods.

"I could rip your throat out right now."

Her hardened voice broke him out of his stare. He reaffirmed his grip.

"Tempting, but I know you won't."

Astrid pursed her lips and he quickly seized her jaw to keep her from spitting in his face. He's seen that move from her plenty of times and he wasn't going to fall for it.

"Just hear me out."

He watched her eyes flit to his mouth. His blood was thrumming and his face felt hot. Their position didn't help. When he tried to readjust, his bottom half rubbed deliciously against hers.

Astrid's now free hand threaded through his brown locks. She pulled hard at the base of his skull. He hissed and had no choice but to lean his body weight to the side. She didn't let go until he wasn't touching her.

Hiccup rubbed the back of his head, "My house. Ten minutes."

Astrid knocked his shoulder to pass him before abruptly spinning around and slapping him across the face. He groaned closing his eyes.

"Fine."

Hiccup was still shaking his head clear after Astrid left the hall.

"Well, that was entertaining," Snotlout stated. The rest of his friends gathered around him now that the threat of Astrid was over.

Hiccup sat on the edge of a table, holding his ribs. "So glad to be of service." He quipped hawking another bloody glob into the fire.

He grunted getting up to his feet. "If you don't hear from me by dinner then she's burying my body."

Tuffnut saluted, "You got it."

Trudging to the house, his adrenaline slowly left him. He realized how much his face was burning and all the hits left parts of his body tender to the touch. Opening the door to his home he was mildly surprised she wasn't in the main room but he heard the excited hops of his dragon upstairs.

Toothless was rubbing his head around her body like a feline. She took the time to brush her fingers against his ear plates and neck. Toothless was almost purring in satisfaction. His big green eyes opened once more in the presence of his favorite human.

"Hey Bud, you mind giving us the room?"

He cooed once, his head swiveling from Hiccup and Astrid before launching himself to the rafters and slinking out the skylight.

Astrid's glare was icy. Her hands clutched her arms, keeping herself from causing him more bodily harm.

"You finished with that display you put on in the Great Hall?" Hiccup's biting tone had her on edge again.

"What? The future Chief can't handle when someone disagrees with him?"

"It's not about disagreeing with me!" He threw his arms up. "I need you here—" He pointed to the ground with his two fingers, "—on Berk."

Astrid groaned in frustration. "Because you don't trust me!"

She swings a fist into his shoulder, and he absorbs the impact with his other hand and captures her wrist before she has time to pull away.

"It's because I trust you the most." His fingers on her wrist tighten as he backs her up to the wall. "We cannot take the dragons and the mainland is uncharted territory. If something were to happen I need to be sure that Toothless is taken care of and that Berk will have a future."

Her face softened and her other hand curled around the collar of his leather chest plate.

"I could have told you all of this before you decided to go crazy in the hall."

Her teeth clacked together when she clenched her jaw. Her soft features became ridged once again. "Don't make me hit you again."

Hiccup pressed himself closer to her. His chest brushed against her. "You're in no position to try."

Her head leaned forward abruptly catching Hiccup off guard. He flinched back slightly when he thought she was going to head-butt him but instead, she kissed him. That euphoria only lasted a second however when she bit his bottom lip...hard.

He yelped, pulling away from her completely. She smirked and advanced on him again. Hiccup's blood was roaring in his ears. He took her by surprise, spinning her around so her back was to him. He wrenched her arms back and bent her over his work desk.

"Are you ever going to stop fighting me?"

Astrid wiggled her bottom, trying to escape the hold. "Only when you decide to do something stupid and this is stupid!"

His free hand dug painfully into her hip. "I don't think you're in a position to question me now." The smug tone oozed from words, sending Astrid's blood boiling again.

She redoubled her efforts to escape, she pushed back, catching him off guard. His groan was a mix of pain and arousal. Standing up, her palms made contact with his chest, pushing him hard enough to send him into the wall.

"You could've told me first! Instead, I had to hear it from Kar!"

Astrid advanced on him again but he used his height to switch their positions. The hard planes of his torso rubbed against hers. He made no effort to hide his growing need against her.

His hands seized her arms. "Calm down." His belt caught along her skirt every time she tried to shift her hips. His voice sent a shiver down her spine, "Calm down." She couldn't hide the goosebumps from him, not when his lips brushed the shell of her ear. He repeated it, his breath cool against her burning skin.

Her jaw was still tight, fighting the urge to give in to him. When she didn't offer a smart reply, he decided to test his luck. His lips trailed down from her ear to her jaw. His teeth caressed the muscle loose and his tongue dipped between her jaw and neck.

She was breathing heavily with desire and not rage this time. Astrid turned her head to capture his lips. Her tongue tasted blood from when she bit him earlier. Hiccup had unconsciously loosened his grip on her arms. She didn't waste any time digging her nails into his hair and neck. His own slipped underneath her tunic, pawing at her hips and lower back.

They kissed until they could no longer breathe and Astrid turned her focus to his neck. She recalled her earlier words back in the Great Hall. Her mouth scraped along his jaw and down the majority of his throat to almost his collarbone. The veins in his throat were taut with exertion. She dug her canines into the most prominent one. His reaction was immediate, a harsh gasp and his lower half thrusting into hers hard. Her back hit the wall again and remained there once more.

She could feel him pulsating through his pants and her leggings. His fingers tore at the ties holding up her skirt and yanked her leggings down. Astrid had released her hold on his neck and Hiccup had no problem mashing his teeth into hers. Astrid returned the favor with his pants, pulling the ties loose enough to gain access to what she desperately craved.

He wasn't gentle sheathing himself into her. Hiccup felt all of his blood rush south. His hoarse moan was trapped by her mouth. His hips snapped into hers roughly, her fingers scrambled to find purchase on his shoulders. His fingers left prints on her right thigh, squeezing it tighter against his hip.

They breathed in the same breath, their eyes meeting each other still tinged with frustration and misunderstandings. A particularly hard thrust sent her eyes rolling without her permission. Hiccup watched as she tried not to be overtaken by pleasure. It was her last ditch effort to spite him.

The hand that held her hip traveled up to his breast bindings. His thumb rubbed harshly over her covered nipple. The fleeting thought of Astrid completely undressed and writhing in his bed passed through the back of his mind. Maybe after this, he could take her to bed and have her again until they both felt satisfied.

She moaned into his mouth. He ground his hips up into hers, the friction rubbing her most sensitive parts. Another whimper escaped her and Hiccup knew she was close by the way her eyebrows scrunched up. She was beautiful like this and he couldn't help but place a chaste kiss on her temple.

"You've always trusted me. Trust me on this Astrid." His breathless voice broke the silence in the room that was otherwise occupied by just their panting.

The nails that had been digging into his skin softened to just the pads of her fingers. Hiccup didn't get a chance to revel in it as they both no sooner finished together. He didn't dare move until their pulses decided to settle. This time when their gazes met, their frustration and contempt were no longer present.

Astrid smoothed her palms on his cheeks. He picked up her other leg and carried her to his bed.

They both knew it wasn't time to talk just yet...maybe after this round or two more.
