This one contains a lemon, and hiked the rating up because of it... Have fun! Everything else is still T, so if you wanna keep reading just skip 023.

~ Hiccup's POV ~

It 's weird, y'know? I was used to being on the edges of the groups and stuff, but now… Now I had friends. That was just weird. I guess that all started with Toothless, he was my first friend, my best friend. Then everybody else had started loving me because I did so great in the ring. I still don't know if they're friends or not. Finally Astrid… She'd become my friend so quickly now. All it took was one flight, one heck of a flight. I wasn't complaining about that, but… having friends is weird.

022. Enemies

~ Tuffnut's POV ~

My sister and I were always fighting. Beating each other into the ground, choking one another, yelling, punching, kicking at one another, it was all just a simple part of life for us. Our dragon was a lot like that too. Nick and Nack fight with each other a lot too. I guess it's just being so close to each other all the time that makes enemies out of even the best of friends.

023. Lovers (UBER WARNING! THIS IS A LEMON!)

~ Astrid's POV ~

Watching Hiccup get ready for bed had become part of our nights routine now. We weren't married. We weren't even old enough to consider marriage yet, by custom. Still, we were lovers. With his father always either away or dealing with issues his house was usually a safe place to prove our love. If his father did happen to be home we could use Hiccups room at the forge. My house was never safe. My folks were always home, and I shared a room with my younger sister.

Hiccup landing lightly on the bed jolted me out of my reverie. He was smiling at me in his usual, lopsided manner. I smiled back, pulling him down and into a kiss. He kissed back and moved to pin my hands above my head. We broke the kiss and I glared at him playfully.

"Not fair." I whined at him lightly. He just chuckled and kissed the tip of my nose. No matter when, or where, he did that it always made me blush. I tried to nip at him, and he kissed me again. His grip on my hands shifted. He now held them both with one of his hands. His free hand began to stroke my sides through my shirt. I'd taken off my armor, but half the fun in our nights came from him removing my cloths. I groaned into his mouth, wanting him to hurry. He broke our kiss and smiled.

"Feeling anxious Astrid?" He kissed me again, teasing me. I knew we had to be quiet, but I liked making noise. Hiccup broke the kiss and began to move, brushing his lips against my cheekbones and jaw. He planted heavier kisses along my neck, pausing to gently nip at my pulse point. I shuddered under him, and he chuckled. He knew me almost better than I did. I never complained though, when he learned something so did I. He dipped his head a little more and brushed his lips against my barely exposed collar bone. He pulled back and tipped his head a little to the left. I raised my eyebrow, wondering what he was studying now.

"Your shirt's in the way. We can't have that, can we?" He was teasing me, but I let him. He let go of my wrists, expecting me to leave them there. I didn't. I pulled him down, pressing my lips against his and twisting so that we switched positions. I broke our rough kiss and placed a gentler one on his forehead.

"Can't let me go for a second, can you love?" I teased him, tracing a heart on his chest, right over where his own heart beat frantically against his ribs. He smiled up and me and sighed.

"Nope, I really can't. Now get back down here." I was happy to oblige him, letting his hands slip up by sides, bringing my blue, green and gray shirt with them. He tossed it gently to the side and pulled me closer. I let him, knowing that he would do what he wanted anyways. He sucked gently at my collar bone before kissing my lips again and pulling my hair loose. I knew he liked my hair down, that was why I always wore it up. He lay back then, giving me control. I smiled and leaned down, kissing him again as I shifted myself backward slowly. I felt his manhood against my rump and smiled. Thank Odin for thin pants.

"I think my pants are in the way, don't you love?" I teased him. He raised an eyebrow and then moved quickly. He pinned me down and smiled, so much for me being in control. His hands undid my breast-band, and tossed that over with my shirt. His hands came back, rubbing gently at my chest and I moaned again. He was just too good. He leaned down then, caressing me with his lips and tongue. My back arched as I moaned, damnit didn't he understand that I was ready for him to start going faster? From experience I knew that my pants currently had a large damp spot darkening them.

He smiled and stopped what he was doing. He took my hands and, instead of pinning them, moved them down to the laces of my pants. I understood and quickly untied said laces. Hiccup gently slid his hand down inside them, not bothering to remove them yet. I moaned louder, arching against his hand as he slipped a finger into me. He murmured wordlessly to me as he began to pump that finger. I stopped him after a few moments, trying to focus on him.

"Hiccup, love… I need you… now." I could barely get the words out. I could barely even come up with them. He understood though. My pants and underwear joined my shirt and breast-band on the floor as he positioned himself. His lips covered mine and he swallowed my scream of pleasure as he plunged in. Our tongues battled as he continued to thrust. I met his thrusts equally, our moans swallowed by our kisses. I felt the peak approaching. Apparently he did as well, since he sped up. I came moments before him, milking him as our shouts flew muffled into each other's throats. We disentangled ourselves, panting slightly. I leaned back against the pillows as Hiccup flopped down beside me.

"I love you." He whispered, kissing me. I kissed him back, but froze in fear a second into the kiss. Hiccup pulled away, looking concerned.

"What is it Astrid? Did I do something wrong?" He asked. I managed a squeak before a deep cough made him twist around.

"Uhh… Ohhh… Uhhh… Hi? Dad?"

024. Family

~ Stoic's POV ~

It was good to have a big family, I could see that. The Hofferson family, the Thornson family, even the Ingermann's had a large family. Until five months ago my family had just been my sister, my brother-in-law, their son, and my son. Fairly small. But Hiccup had married Astrid five months ago, and the news was just out that she was pregnant. Considering that I'd heard them… er… going at it, quite a few times while making sure everything was fine at night I could be fairly certain that this family was going to grow very quickly.

025. Strangers.

~ Snotlout's POV ~

Okay, so I felt bad now. I mean I'd treated Hiccup pretty bad, but really he was a stranger to me. Now he'd gone and saved the whole village. He was a stranger to everyone, but we were cousins. He shouldn't have been a stranger to me. I felt really bad, watching Astrid cry over him on the boat ride home. I felt even worse, thinking of all the names I'd called him. I never got to know him though. He really was a total stranger to me.

So! Now that that's over with... anybody have something to say? I know the last one is kinda bad, but I liked them all... 23 and 24 don't really go together, but they could... I guess...
