Hello again HTTYD fans! I wrote Worry About Hiccup the other night, and just couldn't stop myself from writing another oneshot. This is much longer, and full of Hiccstrid fluff. Divulge in this glorious five-course dinner of not-so-OOC fluff!
Love ya'll :D
Oh and a little background info on this story in case you get lost, I'm basing Hiccup and Astrid around 16ish for age, so in between HTTYD and HTTYD2. (Basically it's hot Hiccup butnotquitefiveyearspassed) And yes, they are actually dating.
Disclaimer: Nope. Don't own it. Goodbye.
The sun gleamed, making the grass glow in the slight breath of wind that passed each second. It was one of the few enjoyable days on Berk, just in between summer and fall where the weather was cool but the sun reached over the mountains around the island, keeping it a pleasant temperature. Two heads could be seen bobbing up a mountain path towards an edge of the island. One was lanky but broad shouldered and sported russet colored hair. The other was blonde, and obviously built to be a Viking, but female. Their conversation could be heard as they neared, clearly presenting that they were debating over something.
"Hiccup, you can't just fall off your dragon on purpose!" the blonde yelled at the boy.
"Astrid, it was to test something. You know Toothless can catch me easily, and y'know I can save myself too." the boy, obviously Hiccup, responded. The blonde, Astrid, made a face and continued to argue.
"You almost broke your arm in the process too. You need to be more careful." Hiccup scowled and then stared at his feet as they trudged up the path he had chosen for this particular hike. Hiccup was obviously pleased about this certain trip and would not tell Astrid a word.
"So are you gonna tell me where we're going or, are we just going to walk aimlessly until we reach your destination."
"You'll see, just be patient. It's a surprise. A good clean Hiccup surprise for his awesome girlfriend, Astrid." Suddenly, glancing up, Hiccup stopped Astrid from walking any further and covered her eyes.
"Wha-? Hiccup?" she questioned. Hiccup simply grinned and led her over the slight jut in the hill, finding the other side just as pleasant as he had the other day. He uncovered Astrid's eyes and said,
"What do you think?"
Astrid's eyes gleamed as she let out a small gasp. The sight before her was magnificent, a large rock jutted out from the side of the mountain, forming a perfect arrow shaped cliff. To the side of this cliff was a large waterfall, careening off the mountain ledge and causing rainbows to shimmer over the mist. All Astrid could do was stare. Hiccup quickly took advantage of this pause to immediately throw his pack on the ground and begin to work, hammering and weaving, eventually causing Astrid to pay attention to him. He gave no response to her glare as she was extremely suspicious of him. Finally, turning around and grinning, Hiccup didn't say a word as he held up a harness to Astrid. She raised her eyebrows.
"And what is that supposed to be?"
"I told you, it's a surprise" the boy sauntered towards her unbuckling the three clasps binding the two sides of the harness together. Astrid began to step backwards, away from Hiccup but nearing the edge of the cliff.
"Are you going to put that thing on me?"
"Yes. Problem?"
"A very big problem. I don't want it on me." but before she could even react, he had leapt towards her and began to fasten the harness around her shoulders and midriff. She tried to wrestle the boy and the harness off of her, but the teenager had gained muscle that she could not win a fight against. Sure she could beat him at a simple spar or basic combat, but he could maneuver and wrestle better than her now. Finally he buckled the last latch and quickly fastened a strange rope tight to the back of the harness.
"Hiccup, what are you doin-" but she couldn't finish her sentence, given the fact that Hiccup had just shoved her off the arrow shaped cliff.
So last minute decision, you have to wait till another time to see the rest of this beautiful cliff scene. Give it until tomorrow. :) Seeya then.
