Just kiss me

"Exactly. She'd never go for it. You have to remember that." Hiccup tried to reassure Astrid.

Astrid is trying to get Hiccup to pull Heather out of her undercover mission in the Dragon Hunters. A close call earlier in the day had made her reconsider whether this was a good idea or not. As much as she hates it, Astrid knows that Heather would never go for it. The relief shows in Hiccup's face for a split second at the small smile on Astrid's lips before Snotlout and Tuffnut come barreling past, snapping the two out of the romantic gaze.

"Best time ever!"

*cue two idiots goofing off*

"Ugh! Will you two please take it somewhere else? I can't hear myself think!" Astrid exclaims before storming out of the stables.

Hiccup follows her, grabbing her hand, forcing her to stop and turn to him with a frown on her face. "Hey. What's gotten into you?" he asks, brushing her bangs behind her ear with his free hand. Astrid relaxes at the gentle gesture.

"Hiccup Haddock are you making a move on me?" Astrid asks with a smirk.

Deflecting the question with a blush, he retorts"Don't change the subject. What's on your mind?"

With the gentle circles Hiccup is rubbing on her knuckles and the puppy dog look in his eyes, Astrid finds herself melting on the inside. Slowly she starts to tell Hiccup about the worries she has about Heather, how the antics of the gang are getting to her, and the pressures she is getting from her family to be the best dragon rider and warrior. Hiccup listened with no judgement offering occasional advice. Then it is her turn to offer the advice as she listens to him talk about how his dad wants him to become chief but he doesn't think he's ready and still wants to explore.

By the end of the conversation, Astrid feels much lighter and eager to turn it back to into safer waters.

"Now that I have told you what was bothering me, your turn. Answer my question." she asks with a smirk.

"What question?" is her answer but the tell tale blush dusting his cheeks gives Hiccup away.

"Were you making a move on me?"

"Why? Do you want me to?" Astrid rolled her eyes but smiled and felt her cheeks warming up. This man would be the death of her. Hiccup's emerald green eyes were watching her as she tried to come up with an answer, driving her to distraction when she felt his gaze on her face. Looking down, Astrid mumbles a quiet "maybe".

"What was that?" he asks with his hand cupped around his ear and a cheeky smirk on his face.

"Curse you, Haddock, you heard exactly what I said." Astrids blush deepens.

"Mmhmm, I don't think I did."

"I said 'maybe'. There. Are you happy now?"

"Very much. The great Astrid Hofferson just admitted that she....."

"Just kiss me, Haddock." Astrid interrupts him tugging on the top of his tunic.

Hiccup happily obliges, gently pulling her waist closer until she was pressed close and their noses brushed against each others, their breath fanning each others faces until Hiccup closes the gap, tilting Astrid's chin up slightly. His lips firmly pressed against hers, moving perfectly in sync. Astrid's hands went to his back, holding him ever closer. Hiccup's fingers gently played with the baby hairs at the base of her neck, with his other hand holding her waist firmly against him.

Everything Astrid had heard about kissing the right person was correct, the fireworks in her stomach, the buzzing in her body. She felt like she was in Valhalla and didn't ever wanted to come back. Unfortunately, humans cannot go for long without air. Stupid air. When Hiccup pulled back, Astrid leaned in for more.

"Slow down, m'lady."

"No." Astrid mumbled before kissing him soundly again.

Eventually the two pulled apart when they hear the dinner gong. Astrid grumbles under her breath. Hiccup smirks when he hears it, taking her hand and lacing their fingers together. Together they strolled to the Clubhouse, making sure to appear normal when they entered.

The conversation turned to Heather and speculation about what she would tell them later that night. When nobody was looking, Hiccup took Astrid's hand under the table, smiling when he felt her squeeze his hand in return.

I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to update. Blame school.

Here is a cute fluffy one shot that I wanted to happen.

Abbi out.
