How To Train Your Dragon [Volume #1]

08. Extra: "You're The Idiot, But It's Okay"

Hyde could feel the tension and static in the air, she gulped. "Y-yes?" she asked the group of teens before. "Just do as I say, I'll be back as soon as I can, and whatever you do, don't be the idiots who gets hurt or killed today!" Fishlegs repeated the line from in battle the month before. 

"Ah, I'm gonna cop all holy hell because of this aren't I?" Everyone nodded, the twins cackled madly, Fishlegs simply looked smug while ZSnotlout rubbed his hands together eagerly, even Astrid, leaned back, hand on hip looking slightly evil. 

"Oh boy." 

as it turns out the punishment wasn't so bad after all, Hyde wonders if it was just an excuse to drag Hyde away from the little section in the blacksmith shop she was working in for the last few days. it was just going to a picnic in the afternoon with Gunji and Astrid. 

*_*_*

"Wait, so let me get this straight." Hyde snorted and Astrid glared. "I kissed you in front of your husband?!" Hyde rolled her head to look at Gunji, eyes widening. "What? By god, I didn't even realise!" He pinched her side. "It was an arranged marriage when we were ten if I'm being honest though I think I got the better end of the deal," Gunji said as he nicked a piece of meat from the plate.

"Focus!" Astrid cried glaring a the two relaxing Akkadians. "Wait, why did your father try and marry you off to him? No offences." Astrid said. Some taken." Then he began chewing the meat. Hyde sat up, her Prosthetic resting in her lap as she worked on it. "Dad thought he could shirk responsibility if he married me off to someone and left me for them to deal with while he raised hi favourite son and daughter to compete for the role of chief. "He didn't exactly think of who, he just liked the idea then suddenly I'm married to this giant." She motions to the blonde to her right. "And, not only does he not have parents, but his grandmothers are. One of those grandmothers that everyone likes, so when she forced both of us on, he couldn't do anything, at least if he wanted to live."

"Oh," Astrid said. "Yep." Hyde nodded.

"But why are you so okay with me kissing you, that still doesn't make sense. Wives are meant to be faithful to their husbands and vice versa."

Hyde sighed and looked up from her leg. "We can sleep around with other people only if the spouse has met the partner and likes them and says yes."

"And considering that you spent practically a month running into each other before I woke up he had enough time to decide he likes you and is alright with it."

There was a pause of silence. "Have you, either of you?" Astrid asked shyly.

"Have we what?" Hyde asked. "Slept with anyone, or together?" Hyde shook her head. "Nah. No one has interested either one of us and we don't feel a great desire to sleep together."

"How old are you two?" Astrid asked. "17" Gunji replied from his new spot next to Hyde, forcing his jacket onto her. She groaned. "Just about to turn sixteen," Hyde replied. "Oh, when's your birthday?"

"24th, next month," Hyde replied.

"You should get injured more often," Astrid said as she down chewing on some food.

Like a totally civilised person, Hyde hissed at her, then sulked for the next few hours until dinner was served.   

Fin.
