K, next chapt up. Lots of Hiccstrid (as always, it's the title) drabbles dotted EVERYWHERE in this one, hopefully! Oh, and no smut in this one peps, warning Down.

Enjoy.

*Hiccup's POV*

I quickly put on my trousers (ENGLISH UK HERE), my shirt and armor as fast as I can. The voices below us seem pretty loud. damn, must have seen us sleeping or something...better avoid them today....

"We can climb through the window and go via the back of the other huts, come on!" Astrid whispers, halfway out the window opposite my bed. I follow her and slid down the roof and jump onto the soft grass below.

"We better go to the Clubhouse...act like nothing has happened..." She pauses, "srry, I'm being controlling Hiccup." 

"No no! Ur doing so well. If u weren't here I'd be explaining to the others what we were doing last night...Gods, Heather would go mad for this whole 'Hiccstrid' thing she keeps going on about and we'd never hear the end of it. Then our parents wh-...I'm rambling, sorry Astrid." I try and explain as we creep behind Snotlout's hut.

Suddenly, Heather walks by, catching sight of us...giving a....wink?! Oh my Gods, does she know?!? Did she see us sleeping or heard  us in the night? Oh Thor damn...

Once she walks past the extraordinary blond beside me speaks, "Hiccup, it's alright...as u said earlier, u don't regret anything. Well, neither do I. But then...I guess it's official if they know..."

"What's official?"

"Us. U know 'Hiccstrid'? (Whispering➡️) I like that name actually..." 

"I guess it is...if they know."

"Yea..." 

We continue to creep towards the Clubhouse...seeing the door slightly open I push it a little more so that we can squeeze through. When we do we take seats at the table and chat.

"So um...what's up Astrid? Doing any axe throwing today or r u going for any flights round the island...tomorrow it's ur tern to do patrol with me in the evening."

"I'm probably going to be training with Heather if that's alright with u.."

"Yes..of course. Fine by me! I'm not rly doing anything today rly..."

"So Hiccup...up to anymore inventing or u just doing a secret project behind us?" Astrid asks.

"Well, there definitely is a secret to be told." A familiar voice calls from the door. We turn our heads to see the whole gang standing in the wide doorway.

"Sooo...wats the secret?" Heather asks.

"What? What secret? Do u know what she's talking about Ast?" I say awkwardly.

"No clue Hicc...no secret between us! Hehe..." she says, as well- awkwardly.

"Awwww! Nicknames!!! That is so cute...definately some big Hiccstrid secret here. Right guys?" She fangirls. Turning her head to see Snotlout faking to throw-up, the twins ignoring everyone and everything and Fishlegs paying attention. Wow.

"I agree Heather." Tuff says, looking up from his nails, "Definately something in the air... Oh I can hear the wind!!! What is it saying? L....O....V....E!  No! it can't be! Far to responsible and responsibilities for all this!"

(Me (to readers): I know- cringed Tuff. And he doesn't make sense...

Tuff: wat? I can't help it I'm a Weirdo!!!!!!!! (Pulls funny face 🤓)

Me & readers: 😑🙄) 

"Sooo... Wats the secret?" She asks, again.

"There is no secret." I lie, turning my head. 

"Nothing? Naught? Zero? Minus?" She says disappointedly. Her tone changes...Into an angry one...oops, "Ok, I'll just use this axe to slice ur heads off unless u tell!" She threatens, bringing out her axe.

We glance a look of surrender to Heather then I whisper to Astrid, "should we?"

"I dunno... I'd never try to run tho." She whispers back.

"Fine fine! U got us!" I say, taking a deep breath, "Astrid and I we..." Their eyes lunge, "we...I...we h-"

"Just spill already!" Heather shouts impatiently.

"Ok! Astrid and I we...had sssssex ....u caught us! We're so sorry guys! We umm over reacted a little..." I admit.

They stare at us...

"So u did sausages and doughnuts with Astrid? My future wife? (We all know whos talking here) The future Mrs Lout just had sausage and doughnut with a fishbone?" and the Viking goes green.

"Srry Snotlout, I might just become the future Mrs Haddock if ur not careful. And btw, he's no fishbone...u should see those abs.!" Astrid says sweetly.

"Oh, Astrid t or d?" Ruff asks.

"Dare." (Oops)

"I dare u to kiss Hiccup."

"Fine."

Our heads lean and our lips touch, and I swear I can see sparks fly (cause in the pic there r!)

We break apart, arm still together, fingers entwined.

"Rly? That's the best u can do!?" I say, my cheeks tomatoes.

"Ok, Hiccup I dare u to show ur abs!" Ruff says, the cringed girl. I remove my armour quickly and take off my shirt earning a few eyeballs from them.

All those years in the forge did do me some good..I mean, I got a (ahem  : 6) pack in 3 years...

"Oh." Snotlout says, dumbstruck, "now I get it! U go for the Viking who has a 6 pack... Well Astrid, Ruff let me just take this shi-"

"NOOO!" Ruff and I scream.

"Fine. Don't get moody about it!" He says grumpily.

I put on my stuff again and sit.

"So are u going to tell ur parents?" Fishlegs asks.

"Hmm...I think so. I'll go, maybe with Astrid tomorrow. Is that k Ast?"

"Yea, sure! I'll just check StormFly is ok for it." She says, starting to walk out.

*Next morning*

*Astrid's POV*

I run to the landing strip by the stables, StormFly beside me. I find Hiccup just putting some final stuff into his satchel for the trip.

"U all k to go Ast?" He asks, getting onto the sleek dragon.

"Yes, got everything, water and some cod for if we get hungry. We lift off into the sky, the sun beaming above us.

"I'll race u to Berk!" He says.

"Go!" I say suddenly. We zoom past the clouds, twisting and turning through the maze of white, fluffy balls.

After four hours of blue oceans and cream clouds, we finally get a sight of Berk for the fist time in two long months. 

"Let's go to the Plaza. We'll be sure to find one of our parents  there at least. It's trader day." He says looking up at me, "r u k Ast? U look a bit pale..." in fact I feel fine. Probably just some nerves to tell them.

"I'm fine Hiccup. Really, I am." I say truthfully.

"Tell me if u don't k?" He says, landing on the soft earth of Berk. 

The Plaza is filled with Vikings, so full we can only land behind some of the huts in the street. But as soon as someone shouts our names there's a crowed to say 'hi' and the dragon problems...blah blah bla.

When the crowed scatters we search to find one of our parents. We search everywhere.

"My parents never really liked trader day anyway." I say.

"Neither did my dad. Always had Gobber do it." He says, walking up to the steps of the chief's house, "c'mon, we want to tell them, don't we?" He says as he sees I'm hesitating. I walk up to him and take his hand.

"I know." I whisper.

He knocks. And a red bearded Cheif opens the door to us.

"Hello Son! Astrid! I didn't know yer were coming!" He beams, letting us in. I let go of Hiccup's hand. Only because I don't want him to think anything wrong yet.

"So, any news?" Stoick asks, letting us sit.

"Umm...well it's great. It's the Great Beyond hehe..." he says nervously, finddling with his fingers.

"Speak, son. What's on yer mind?  Something not right? Ya know, I can alway come up for a visit, get those twins in the right hut!" He laughs, yet almost threatens.

"No Cheif, erm, they're fine. We came with some news...good news." I say, trying not to think that the twins and snotlout r messing the whole place up.

"Oh, I see. Please tell me lass."

"Hiccup would be better Sir, at telling you." I say, eying Hiccup nervously.

"Son,"

"Astrid and I..we...ummm...we are...together."

"What do you mean, son?"

"We found that...umm, it wasn't just friendship that was developing...but..." The Chiefs eyes grow wide, stick out on stalks and stare, "but...love......" His last word is slow and quiet, "dad, Astrid and I are...now    ..dating..."

"WELL DONE SON! CONGRATULATIONS! I COULDNT BE PROUDER!" He says, giving him the biggest bear hug I've ever seen, "AND WELL DONE LASS! DIDNT GET THE FISHBONE BUT THE REAL THING!" He shouts, scooping me up in his trap of hugs.

'My ribs....good Gods. Ouch! Oh my....need to BReath....' I think to my cracking body. He drops us down.

"So, when is the wedding?!" He says excitedly.

"WAIT, WHAT?!" We shout together.

"Sir, we're not going that far yet...it's going to be a long time off (author- Phft! I write what u do! Don't push it 😈😈😈). By far I think Cheif." I explain.

"I'm sorry you two, I over reacted. Young love these days...one step at a romantic time!! Heehe!" He apologises.

"It's k Dad." Hiccup says.

"Well, I think u'd better go tell Mr and Mrs Hofferson if u haven't already!" He calls as we walk out, fingers entwined.

We walk into the quiet plaza, "who could have told that were in there for 15 minutes!? I'm really nervous to see urs now...can u say?" He asks.

We all across the empty street, arriving at the Hofferson's door. We untangle our fingers and knock.

"Hello! Astrid, Hiccup! What a pleasant surprise to see u both!" Mrs Hofferson greets kindly, opening the door to us, "please had a seat. DEAR! LITTLE ASTRID AND MASTER HICCUP ARE HERE! PLS COME DOWN TO SEE THEM!" The lady calls. Soon dad walks stiffly down the staircase.

"Why hello honey! How r u? Good!" He says, giving me a kiss, my cheeks go red, "good morning master Hiccup! Lovely to have u." He says, shaking his hand violently.

"So, any news dears?" Mum asks.

"Uhh well...Mrs Hofferson, Mr Hofferson...I-" Hiccup starts.

"Please, call me Ingrid and my husband  Magnus my dear boy. Carry on."

"Ingrid, Magnus...I ummm.. Your daughter...it's better if she said it..." He stumbles.

"Mum, dad...I..Hiccup and I...erm...u know we have a strong friendship...but lately....it's...urrrr...become more....how should I say this? Deep..into....love?"

"OH YES! MY LITTLEED BABY GIRL HAS FALLEEN IN LOVE! CONGRATULATIONS DARLING! AND HICCCUP...U FORR MAKING MY DREAMS CCOME  TRUE!" She shouts, nearly as loud as Stoick. Dad just is silent, now a beam of a smile is spreading onto his face, the two scoop us up and give us a big bear hug, not as bad as Stoicks at least. 

"Well done Astrid, you've made me proud of u! Thank u again Hiccup." Mum says.

"It was nothing, all I had to do was fall for her...and that was already easy." He say, grinning like a baby on its birthday.

"Well, better get going dad, mum. I'll see u soon. Bye!" I call as we walk out, hands together again. 

"C'mon, let's go home." I say, climbing onto StormFly. She wriggles back

"Hey, I've got a surpise for u Astrid. Come with me." He says, leading me into the forest. Through the thick pines and into a beautiful beach I've never seen before.

On the gold sand, is a picnic basket and blanket, Toothless sitting proudly beside it, his face in a triumphant expression.

"Oh Hiccup, that's so sweet. Thank you!" I say.

"It was nothing Ast. All I needed was u," He says sweetly, leading me down to sand. The dragons snort, "and maybe some dragons too!" He jokes.

I sit down on the rug, opening the basket. Inside are sandwiches, fresh fish and some expensive looking bottles of mead, just enough for two. I feed my hand in and bring out a sandwich.

"Want one?" I ask the sweet Viking.

"Thank you, yes." He says, taking the one I offer him.

We spend the afternoon eating and drinking the delicious picnic. Talking and laughing all the time. And before I know it, I'm in his arms, my head on his shoulder, eyelids fluttering. That is until I fall asleep and we sleep in the cool shade of the beautiful ancient trees shadow. I wake to find my head on his lap and his body carefully over my own. The light is fading and the sunset on the horizon is the perfect setting.

His body shifts and lifts off mine as we look up to the purples, pinks, reds and blues that create our romantic evening. 

"Wow, this is perfect Hiccup."

"It rly is."

"Almost to perfect it feels."

"Yea, yes,I guess it does," he says as our heads leand, noses gradually touch and lips connect. 

The moment  feel his elegant lips touch mine I  feel something that I've never felt before, a strong, deep connection with a chain no-one can break and a feeling that can never stop, never die.e

As we split, we are filled with a feeling that will never leave us again: love.

As we ride towards the sunset, we know that we can love with all we have and live for.

"I love you Astrid!" I hear him call even through  the srong  wind as we approach the Edge.

"I love you too Hiccup!" I call as I land outside my hut, ready to go inside. 

"night StormFly." I tell her as I tuck into my warm covers, dreaming about Hiccup.

Well, hope u  enjoyed this one.  There r 2,344 words in this one!

See u soon peps.
