Summary: Hiccup decided to try his new bola flinger. Ends up with an awkward company, and an absolute death wish.

Mishap

The sun was brightly shining precisely above the village. Clanking sounds and metallic clattering could be heard from the forge. An auburn haired boy ran back and forth as he tried to melt iron and mold a sword. Sweat gushing rapidly on the boy's forehead from the heat. Steam coming out as he put a thermal warmed metal into the bucket of water.

A blonde girl came across the forge. An axe on her hand and a headband on her head. She eyed the black creature that was sleeping outside. As she came to scratch it, the creature purred and went back to sleep. She looked around and stepped inside. She observed and the boy appeared.

"A-Astrid?" The boy stuttered in surprise.

"Oh, hey Astrid. What are you doing here?" He put down the tools as he went to greet properly.

"I was wanting for my axe to be sharpened" She handed him the axe which he received a handful.

He went to the back and placed the axe in the wooden table. "Might take a few minutes" He yelled.

"Guess I'll be here for a few minutes" She said to herself and reached for a chair.

"So, Astrid. How's your training with Stormfly going?" He asked while starting the mechanism to sharpen the axe.

"Oh you know, the usual. We flew around the forest. Shooting targets. Performing air maneuvers. Same old same old" She looked around to see his sketches.

"And how about you?" She asked back while picking a sketch of his dragon's artificial fin.

"Not much. Working at the forge. Learning to be chief firsthand. Spend time with Toothless. Running the academy" He chuckled and examined the axe.

She returned to her chair and watched the boy at work. She couldn't help to notice how he had developed muscles over the past year. Sure he's not the typical Viking, but at least he had some strength. She moved her gaze to his upper body. Apparently, he had grown taller than her. Now, she had to stand on her toes if she wants to get to the same height. And his hair had grown also. It's longer than before but kept his auburn color. His facial structures seems to be changing too. His cheekbones became slightly higher. The freckles he used to have was replaced by a few stubbles of hairlines. He still had the same subtle skin. His eyes green like an emerald with soft and gentle lips. She remembered brushing those lips with her own. It had happened thrice and she never regretted any of it.

"Uh, um, Astrid" She snapped from her thoughts and looked at him. She realized what just traversed in her mind and struggled to hide the blush.

"Uh, y-your axe is done" He stuttered. He was embarrassed also for seeing her staring at him lost in her own thoughts.

"O-Oh. Where is it?" She stood up and smiling nervously.

"Right there on the counter" He pointed as she walked over to the said place.

"Thanks Hiccup" She faced him and he smiled.

"Oh, wait. Before you leave, could you wait to see me test my new invention?" He asked excitedly.

"Oookay, I guess?" She shrugged and they went to the back of the forge.

"It's a bola flinger. From now on you don't need to throw it, just simply load it inside and pull this lever" He explained started to demonstrate it.

"Why do we need that?" She asked curiously.

"For defenses. Even though we don't fight dragons anymore, there might as well a chance for a wild dragon to attack. Or an ambush from a neighbor tribe" He lifted the bola and inserted it to the machine.

"Ready?" He asked as he lifted the thing giving proper aim to the sky.

"Boom!" He yelled expectantly, but nothing came out. She raised her eyebrow as he pulled it to inspect the problem. Suddenly, the bola came flying towards him and continue hurling into her.

"Oops. My mistake" He grinned sheepishly. They were tied by the bola and couldn't move their arms.

"Okay, this is kind of awkward" He gulped as she glared to him.

"I'll definitely kill you after this" Her voice deadly laced with venom.

"Err-riiight. Might as well free ourselves first" He tried to move but no avail.

"Hey Toothless buddy. Help us down here" The dragon walked slowly towards them and grinned before he left again. He swore he heard a chuckle.

"That useless reptile" He gritted through his teeth.

"Hey Astrid. Where's your axe" He asked while looking around and found the axe two feet beside them.

"No use Hiccup. Let's just try standing up" They both struggled to get on their feet, well… Foot, for Hiccup. They ended up flipping each other and Hiccup became underneath her.

"This is going nowhere. Let's just call for help" He suggested and called Gobber.

"Ah come on. Where is he?" He muttered annoyed by the old Viking's missing tendency.

"Oh wait, I have a dagger on my boot. Can you grab it?" Astrid moved her foot forwards so Hiccup could reach it easier.

"Got it" He started trimming the ropes one by one until they're finally free.

They quickly separated and straightened their clothes. Astrid made a move to her axe to pick it up and held it threateningly.

He swallowed and said quietly. "I'm dead"

She walked to him and glared. He gulped and wished to not lose another limb. She punched him on the shoulder. Surely there will be a bruise there sooner or later.

"That's for getting us into that situation" He smiled nervously, trying to get away before she strikes. She inched closer and grabbed the front of his tunic and kissed him. She had to stand on full height now or he would have to lean down. Darn he's tall.

She released his shirt and stepped back. "That's, for showing me your invention" She smiled and followed by his lopsided smile and goofy face. Maybe, a little mishap once in a while won't hurt at all.
