Prompt: Astrid gets bullied by the neighboring tribes

Hope you enjoy!

"Hey, Milady." Hiccup greeted as Astrid opened her hut door.

"Hey babe." Astrid giggled softly as her boyfriend touched his lips to her hair. "So, what are you doing here? Not that i'm complaining." She wrapped her arms loosely around his middle and pressed herself to him, prodding him to kiss her again.

Hiccup's lips pressed to her forehead and circled one arm around her shoulders and the other around her waist. "Well..." Hiccup sounded hesitant and nervous, which made Astrid raise her eyebrows. "The neighboring tribe of Stonehedge is coming...the chief and his daughter."

Astrid growled under her breath at the term "chief" and "daughter", making Hiccup laugh heartily and tighten his grip on her body.

Astrid was familiar with this situation one too many times. She was quite aware that Hiccup wasn't the same little scrawny runt that was a literal Hiccup he was three years ago - he was much, much more; mentally and physically. He had grown into a viking, maybe not the typical one, but one very much as worthy as the next. He shot up in height like overnight, his features had grown more prominent that highlighted his maturity and he was nothing but hot. He was handsome and irresistible in everyway and Astrid couldn't blame the girls of the neighbouring tribes for falling at his feet...

"Let me guess." Astrid said dryly, pulling away making Hiccup whine. She ignored him and crossed her arms, fixing a mocked angry look on her face. "The chief of Stonehedge wants to sign a marriage contract with his daughter and the heir of Berk?" Astrid droned, trying to sound indignant but it was rather hard. Hiccup's eyes widened into big green orbs of guilt, which Astrid giggled at. It was definitely not his fault that a chief wanted to arrange a marriage between heirs to create peace between them.

Hiccup grabbed her hands and laced their fingers together.

"Yeah, my dad warned me. But that's why i came here. I want you to come with me, Ast. So that Stonehedge can see i'm in love with Astrid Hofferson and no one else." Hiccup said earnestly, bringing her hand up to his lips.

"Aw." Astrid cooed, pulling herself into his arms and pressed her nose to his chin. "You know i'm joking. Of course i'm coming." Astrid nuzzled the soft stubble forming on his jaw, feeling Hiccup's cheeks lift as he smiled.

"Great." Hiccup dipped his head down to kiss her sweetly, his arms encircling around Astrid's waist snugly. "Let's go..."

Down at the docks, a boat was anchored to the pier, a boar with axes crossed painted on the sail and a chinese symbol on top. Stoick was standing there, in front of a figure - Astrid guessed that was the chief of Stonehedge.  Astrid swore he was shorter than her, with a long, black beard that was braided at the tips with grey streaks woven into it. His eyes were as black as coals and wrinkles lining his face like waves. He was plump and short with spiked gauntlets, a red tunic layered under dragon scales tied together with a belt and a thick fur coat over his shoulders.

"Hey dad." Hiccup said as soon as they were in ear shot. The two chief's heads snapped towards Hiccup's voice.

"Hiccup, Astrid." Stoick grinned behind his beard when his eyes caught on Hiccup and Astrid's tightly intertwined hands. "Glad you showed up!" Stoick turned to the chief in front of him, who were looking at the couple with curious eyes.
