Hi everyone!

karacrawford3 suggested me to make a series of one-shots so here it is! This was previously a one-shot, now it's the first chapter of this collection called "That's for everything else", though you may have noticed I haven't changed the name of the story.

For those of you who already follow me, the second chapter will be 'Not the usual first meeting', which you've already read.

I will post more one-shots in the next weeks but I warn you, they won't published following a chronological order of Hiccup and Astrid's life.

Thank you for everything!

"The Council is dismissed"

Astrid stopped in the doorway of of Council Room hearing Hiccup's voice. She watched the men make their way out, some nodding in approval, some muttering under their breaths.

They bowed slightly seeing her and she nodded politely at each of them.

When they were all out she could finally see her boyfriend.

He had his back to the door and was looking intently at the big fireplace.

She wrapped her furs around her body more and approached him silently.

He must had been lost in his thoughts because he jumped a bit when she embraced him from behind.

"Hey" she whispered hiding her face beetween his shoulder blades.

"Hey" he said, but there was no emotion in his voice as he caressed her hands on his chest absentmindedly.

She tried to ignore the strange feeling she had been carrying with her for days.

He was acting in an odd way, he was always lost in his train of thoughts, he barely paid attention to her or even tried to have some alone time with her.

Her rational part told her it was just the stress fro being chief and all, but another part, pushed her to think about much more terrible situations.

Sure it was a tiny part of her mind, but it was the one she was leaning on the most.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"Mh mh" was all he answered.

She sighed heavily and stepped back abruptly.

He turned around and looked at her. His green eyes were circled and his face was a little paler than usual.

"What?" he asked.

"What?" she hissed.

"Yes what?"

She laughed bitterly "After all these days you still have the nerve to ask me what?!"

He rolled his eyes, as if he would have done anything else but be there with her "Tell me your problem, Astrid"

"Problem?" she yelled "No! You tell me your problem!"

He blinked "I don't-"

"Oh yes you know what I'm talking about! For the past five days you've been avoiding me and when I come to you you just look like the last thing on earth you want to do is being with me!"

"That's not-"

"And maybe it would be nice to know what's wrong with you, you know? Since I'm the one person who's always there for you! I get it if you don't want to be with me anymore, but at least be a man and tell me!"

His eyes were wide "Astrid I don't-"

"-want to be with me anymore, okay"

She turned on her heels and stormed off.

Just as she was pushing the door open she felt him grab her arm and in a split of second she was trapped in his strong arms.

Damn, when had he gotten so many muscles?!

"It's not what you think" he pleaded.

"It's not what you think!" she mocked him "Typical break-up line"

"What- NO!"

She struggled in his arms "Let me go, please. Seriously it's no big deal, Hiccup!"

"Yes it is!" he almost sounded panicked.

He let her go and when she could breath again he was on his left knee.

"Damn pockets" he muttered pulling a little cloth from his suit.

She gasped loudly when he removed it, shoving a bracelet.

"Hic, I-"

"I was preparing a big speech to ask you to become my wife" he explained awkwardly "And I spent every night in the forge to make this, so I'm sorry if I acted weird. I was a bit off because... I thought you would say... no?"

She rolled her eyes and punched his arm "Ow! Why is there always violence when it comes to you?" he whined.

She grimaced "That was for thinking I could ever say no to you"

His smile grew "So that's a... yes?"

She tried not to laugh at his silly smirk "Are you gonna give me that?" she asked.

"Oh! Yeah yeah sure of course here I'll-"

"Hiccup?"

"Yeah?"

"Shut up"

"Okay"

His hands trembled as he put the bracelet on her slender wrist. It was beautiful.

It looked like two chains interwined, but a closer look revealed it was Toothless' and Stormfly's silhouttes interwined.

He looked up. His face was red and Astrid smiled at him lovingly.

Then she said "Well, this is the part where you stand up, take me in your arms and kiss me passionately"

He blushed even more "I would like to, milady, believe me. But..."

"But what?" she frowned.

He swallowed under her piercing gaze "It just... got stuck"

"What?!"

"The prosthetic... it got stuck"

He smiled at her, embrassed and she threw her hands in the hair "It never happened! Why would it get stuck NOW?!"

"Uh..."

She looked down to see he was kneeling on his fake leg.

"What a dork" she muttered rolling her eyes.

She kneeled in front of him and took his face in her hands gently "But I love you anyway"

He smirked and kissed her.

Just as their lips touched they heard a click! and jumped apart.

"Oh, look!" Hiccup exclaimed "It's readjusted!"

Hope you liked it! Please review...? ;)
