What Up!
Crazed Fans!
So close to the new season Dragon Masters to come I need more Hiccstrid. I can't wait to see how Hiccup and Astrid actually get together.
Hiccup and Astrid are 18.
It was one of the hottest days of the year.
Hiccup was working in the Forge sharpening and making new weapons.
Inside the Forge was sweltering hot and Hiccup had to remove his sweat soaked tunic.
He had his apron wrapped loosely around his waist. Hiccup paused his work to wipe his forehead with his wrapped hands.
Astrid gave him her unused training wraps for his hands so he doesn't burn or cut them while making weapons.
The Forge was surprising busy today. It was mostly girls hung by the window with their weapons.
Astrid walked towards the Forge with her axe on her shoulder.
Because it was so hot Astrid ditched her hood, shoulder pads and fur arm bands at home.
She just came back from the forest doing her daily axe throwing.
When she approach the Forge there was a lot of people gathered around the window, mostly girls.
Astrid frowned and quirked an eyebrow trying to see what was going on.
She pushed her way through the crowd. Some giving a rude comment.
Now she saw what almost the entire women population was staring at, and strangely she couldn't blame them, but she could.
Astrid vaulted the counter much to some protests of girls.
Some girls echo "Why does she get to go in?"
"Hey Babe." Astrid greeted while tossing her axe back and forth.
With out looking up from his work he replied back "Good afternoon Milady."
Astrid threw her axe at Hiccup.
Girls watching the scene gasp.
Hiccup caught the axe with ease with out looking up.
"I see someone has been practicing their reflexes." Astrid teased.
"I see someone has been practicing their axe throwing and wants me to sharp it."
Astrid gestured to Hiccup. "See you get me."
Hiccup rolled his eyes playfully and stopped what he was doing and went to the sharpening wheel.
With practiced hands Hiccup started the wheel and carefully began sharpening his girlfriends most prized weapon.
Astrid stepped back to admire him.
"Now I understand why there are so many girls here."
Hiccup looked up from his work.
"Really why?"
Hiccup being naïve still did not come to terms how he bulked up in the last couple of years.
"You." Astrid answered simply.
"Me?" "I don't think so Astrid."
Astrid gave a light chuckle. "You are so naïve, look at you."
Hiccup took a look at himself.
"So I grew big deal."
"No."
Astrid walked behind him.
She lightly touched both shoulders.
"Your shoulders broadened."
Astrid then grabbed his left wrist making him flex his bicep.
When Astrid did this all of the girls screamed.
"And you grew muscle."
"Oh."
"But do you know what the best part is?"
"Um no."
"That I get you all by myself."
Astrid gently wraps her hand around Hiccup's chin forcing him to meet her lips.
The audience outside sighed in sadness.
The couple broke apart.
"That's right ladies Hiccup Haddock is off the market, better luck next time which is never." Astrid said and closed the window.
When she turned back around to face Hiccup he had both eyebrows raised and held one of his elbows.
"What?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup smirked.
"Your jealous aren't you?"
"No!" "I just don't like girls looking at you like that."
"Ok."
Astrid grabbed his hand.
"Where are we going." Hiccup questioned while being dragged along.
"We are going to the cove to cool off, I'm scorching."
Hiccup shrugged and he and Astrid mounted their dragons heading to the cove.
They landed on a small patch of grass.
Hiccup and Astrid took off both of their saddles and in Hiccup's case, Toothless's tail fin.
Toothless and Stormfly once free from their saddles plunged into the lake.
Hiccup took off his tunic and placed it on a rock nearby.
He reached in his saddle back to retrieve his wooden peg-leg.
Hiccup has to switch out his prosthetic with his wooden one so his original one doesn't rust.
He strapped on his wooden one.
Hiccup looked over at Astrid whose back was facing him.
She already took off her boots and was pulling her tunic over her head.
When Astrid was about to turn around to face Hiccup he was already on the rope swing.
Last year the boys tied a bulky rope to the tree that always hung over the lake.
Hiccup dropped into the lake to join the dragons.
He resurfaced slicking back his auburn mane.
Astrid sat at the edge of the lake to test out the water with her foot.
"Come on Astrid the water is fine." Hiccup called to her.
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
Astrid slowly entered the water.
Astrid welcomed the cool water on her skin and submerged her self under water for a sec or two before resurfacing.
Hiccup swam to Astrid.
"See I told you so."
Astrid gave him a light punch in the arm.
The hit didn't even jostle Hiccup.
By now the dragons were out of the water and were sunbathing on rocks.
They swam around each other and playing games.
The pair swam under a small rock overhang.
"This is way better than working in the sweltering Forge."
Astrid runs her fingers through Hiccup's sopping hair to slick his bangs back and out of his eyes.
"Your welcome."
In return Hiccup rests his forehead on hers.
Astrid intertwines her fingers around his neck.
Hiccup bends down just enough to capture her lips in his.
Astrid replied back with full vigor.
Hiccup leans Astrid back against the rock.
The kiss became more heated as Astrid ran her hands up along Hiccup's chest leaving his skin on fire.
Hiccup had both hands on her waist.
He was drunk on euphoria from the kiss.
Astrid pulled him closer trying to prolong the skin contact.
The lake seemed to transform into a sauna.
Everything was just burning hot.
Hiccup kissed a trail down to her neck.
Astrid ran a hand through the back of his hair.
All of a sudden they hear multiple dragons landing.
"Look its Toothless and Stormfly." Fishlegs said.
"Then where are they?" Snotlout asked impatiently.
Tuffnut snorted. "Probably getting dirty."
Ruffnut punched his arm.
The rest of the gang looked around for Hiccup and Astrid.
It was Snotlout who found them.
"Ugh you guys are disgusting." Snotlout groaned interrupting the kissing couple.
"What are you guys doing here?" Hiccup asked slightly ticked that they ruined the moment.
"Its hot why else do you think we are here for?"
"Fine whatever."
Astrid elbowed Hiccup in the ribs.
"Come join us the water is perfect."
The rest of the gang took off their tunics and boots.
Snotlout used the rope to do a cannon ball into the water.
Fishlegs gently eased himself in.
Ruffnut pushed Tuffnut into the water and she followed suit.
The gang had a water battle and a under water contest.
They talked about things going on in the village and laughed.
Ruffnut and Astrid were relaxing on strips of wood in the water.
Tuffnut grinned wickedly.
He made eye contact with Snotlout and silently communicated with him.
Snotlout then unexpectantly looked at Hiccup.
Hiccup letting his mischievous side out nodded to the plan.
The boys dove under water approaching the girls floating bodies.
Tuff and Snotlout headed toward Ruff's body and Hiccup went toward Astrid's.
Snotlout looked at the two boys and held up three fingers.
He counted down.
3...
2...
1...
The boys flipped the girls raft over.
They both screamed before being submerged under water.
Ruff and Astrid came up a few seconds after.
The guys all high fived one another and laughed.
They turn toward the glaring women.
Their eyes widen knowing what was about to happen.
"Run guys run!" Hiccup shouted before darting toward shore with the rest not far behind.
The boys made it to shore and swung off the rope swing.
Hiccup did a flip into the water, Snotlout flexed while in midair, and Tuffnut went in upside down.
The girls just glared daggers at them.
"So you know you aren't getting anything tonight Hiccup Haddock." Astrid with a victorious smirk on her face.
Hiccup's jaw slackens and his eyes go wide.
Snotlout laughed and pointed at Hiccup.
"That sucks for you Hiccup."
"You aren't getting anything form me either Snotlout." Ruffnut called out to him.
Snotlout abruptly stops laughing.
Yes its true Snotlout and Ruffnut are now together which was a total shock to the group.
"Come on Princess it was all Tuff's idea." Snotlout whined.
Hiccup nodded his head.
"Yeah it was all technically Tuff's fault." Hiccup joined in.
"Astrid are you sure your going to give up all of this?" Hiccup gestured to himself while standing out of water.
Astrid was at a standstill.
Hiccup knew she was at war in her own brain.
Astrid pulled Ruff to the side to think of a verdict.
Astrid sighed. "Your forgiven."
"Yes!"
"But if you ever do that again..."
"I won't I swear."
"Does that mean I am forgiven too?" Snotlout asked hopefully.
"No."
Snotlout stood flabbergasted.
Maybe Hiccup and the gang will come to the Cove more often now.
