"Hiccup where is your coffee table?" His father asked as his parents and two of their friends were sitting on the couch across from him, cradling their tea cups in their hands. Hiccup himself was holding the teapot and looked sheepishly at his father.

Stoick was a tall and burly man, sporting a giant red beard that could easily cause envy among most men. His equally big red hair was equally impressive. He easily towered over most people, being seven feet tall, and as big as a professional weight lifter. At a first glance it would be hard to see how he and Hiccup were related, except for the green eyes both shared.

"Well...... it....... Eh....... broke." Hiccup chuckled as a slight tinge of pink appeared on his cheeks.

"How do you break a solid mahogany table?" His father asked.

"Oh you'd be surprised how easy it was." Hiccup mumbled quietly as he was getting more embarrassed by the second. He wondered why his parents decided to visit so early and with friends this time. Said friends were currently watching Hiccup and he had a feeling that there was more to them being here than just being out with his parents.

One was a man named Liam, he was muscular and wore a simple navy colored T-shirt with black jeans. He had a very handsome face and sported striking greenish yellow eyes and dark brown hair with blond highlights. The other was an asian woman named Celia who wore a white button up blouse with the top two buttons open and a black knee length skirt. She had black eyes and sported black wavy hair that came just below her shoulders. Her pink lipgloss highlighted her plump lips as she smiled and showed off pearly whites.

"So what brings you all here so early?" Hiccup asked as he looked at his mother and father.

Valka gave a cough as she didn't look Hiccup directly in the eyes. "Well son, your father and I along with Liam and Celia here were in the neighbourhood and thought it would be nice to drop by and see how you were doing."

"Mom, you guys live in another state. You were just casually in the neighbourhood?" Hiccup asked as he looked at the woman who raised him with suspicion.

Not being able to properly lie was not the only trait Valka shared with her son. Long brown hair, green eyes, she was tall and lithe, much like Hiccup.

"Mom, dad, why are you two really here and who exactly are your friends?" He asked. He didn't believe for one second that this was just a casual visit. Liam and Celia looked much younger than his parents. In fact Hiccup would guess that they were about his age. That thought made his brain halt and backtrack. He looked at the two people his parents had brought with them, they were watching him with looks of amusement. He then looked at his parents again and his eyes widened.

"OH MY THOR!!" ARE YOU GUYS SERIOUS!" He screeched putting two and two together. "ARE YOU TRYING TO SET ME UP?!"

"Well son" Stoick mumbled as he stroked his beard. "You see...."

"Well you haven't brought anyone home in a long time." Valka cut in. "Actually you've never brought anyone home."

"Oh my Thor mom!" Hiccup mumbled. "I get that I don't go out much but I am in a relationship right now. A very good one."

"Son" Stoick said as he as gently as possible put his hand on Hiccup's shoulder. "You don't have to make up something for us. Won't you at least give the candidates we've chosen a chance."

"Dad.... eh.... I'm not making anything up." Hiccup murmured and then he frowned. "Wait, why did you invite a girl AND a guy?!"

Valka was now blushing slightly. "Well Hiccup, son, sweetheart." She quickly said. "We didn't actually know which way you swung."

"Please tell me you're joking?" Hiccup mumbled as his cheeks were getting redder and redder. He took a glance at Liam who merely winked at him.

"Okay look" Hiccup said as he held his hands up. "I know we haven't talked much with my work being so demanding but I kid you not. I am in a serious relationship." He turned to Liam and Celia, "I'm sure both of you are really nice and I'm sorry if my parents convinced you to come with them for 'cough' a matchmaking session, but I already have someone special."

"Son, really." Valka mumbled as she looked at her baby skeptically.

"Yes mom."

"So when do we meet the lucky lady?" His father now asked.

"Well" Hiccup nervously said just as Astrid stepped out of his bedroom dressed in a pink fuzzy short bathrobe and slippers while sporting bed hair. 'Speak of the devil and she will come' Hiccup thought as Astrid's eyes widened upon seeing the guests.

Astrid blushed a bit as she looked at the group. "Hiccup honey, you didn't tell me we'd have guests." She mumbled a little embarrassed at being caught in her bathrobe.

"I didn't know we'd have guests." Hiccup chuckled as he introduced his girlfriend, who tried to smooth down her hair which was sticking up in various odd angles.

"Mom, dad, Celia, Liam, this is my girlfriend Astrid. Astrid these are my parents Stoick and Valka and apparently the blind dates they wanted to set me up with." Hiccup introduced. His father and mother awkwardly shook Astrid's hand.

"So you two live together?" His dad asked curiously.

"For a couple of months now." Hiccup told them. "It was right around the time Snotlout convinced his dad to give him money to head to Budapest."

"Speaking of your cousin, where is he now?" Valka asked.

"Somewhere in Giza" Hiccup and Astrid said in unison.

"Giza? What is that boy doing in Giza?" Valka asked perplexed.

"I think he was searching for the cashmere shawl his mom forgot in his apartment." Hiccup told them only to get looks of disbelief and curiosity.

"I don't get it." Liam mumbled as Celia nodded. It was then that Astrid noticed the time on Hiccup's wall clock.

"Hiccup why didn't you wake me! It's already this late!" She suddenly shouted. "I'm going to be late for work!"

Astrid bid his guests farewell as she was quickly going to get herself ready. They heard the shower running and Hiccup continued to answer some of the questions his parents had while serving some snacks.

It was maybe ten to fifteen minutes later when Astrid's voice rang through the room "Hiccup darling have you seen my black leather corset?!"

Hiccup's blush came back tenfolds as he shouted back "Check in the closet!"

"It isn't there!" Astrid shouted once more. "Only the red one with the lace you like so much is there!"

"Oh god!" Hiccup mumbled as he buried his face in his hands.

"Nevermind honey. Found it!"

Not long thereafter Astrid asked again "Hiccup have you seen my whip?!"

"Gods kill me now." Hiccup mumbled. "It's on the ironing board!" He shouted back as he saw his guests blush as well. His dad's face was already matching his beard.

"Not the bullwhip. I meant the short one. You know my cat o' nine tails!" Astrid shouted back as she could be heard rummaging through the room.

Hiccup, already as scarlet red as a tomato, shouted "Check under the bed! It should be with your riding crop!" He cleared his throat and then turned back to his guests. "Sorry about that." He quickly apologized. Both Liam and Celia nodded but wouldn't meet his eyes while his father pulled him close and whispered "Son, tell me honestly, is your girlfriend well... you know?"

Hiccup thought that Astrid might have been found out. He really didn't know how his parents would react if they found out he has been dating a demon for the past few months. Hiccup nervously gulped. "Eh dad.... What do you mean?" He asked while nervously folding his hands on his lap.

His father whispered again in an understanding tone. "Son, you know what I mean. Is your girlfriend a dominatrix? Because son you can tell us anything. There is no need to hide. We love you just the way you are."

Hiccup blinked a few times as if trying to process his father's words. It took him a moment before he had figured out what his dad meant. "Oh my gosh dad no!" he quickly sputtered out. He could actually see how his father came to that conclusion. "Dad really!" Hiccup told Stoick who merely hummed in understanding. With a groan he realised that he might have to tell them eventually about Astrid's true job and hope for the best.

"Uhm" Was voiced causing Hiccup and his dad to look at Celia. She looked a bit uncomfortable and was blushing. "I was wondering. What exactly is a dominatrix?" They looked at her and Liam, who sat next to her, let out an uncomfortable cough before grabbing his phone and googling it for her. Still not looking Hiccup in the eye he thrusted the phone to Celia. Her eyes widened and her cheeks flamed up when she read the meaning.

"OH MYYYY" She exclaimed while looking all flustered.
