Hiccstrid One Shots

Tactics & Trust (Part 2)

Hiccup POV

The blood lashing through my veins quickened by breath as I have to clench my teeth to prevent screaming.

Astrid saw.

She saw Maya forcefully kiss me, which I basically walked myself into. I could tell that Astrid became cautious of the brunette after meeting last night.

I made it worse by taking her out and training a dragon, then I absolutely blew it when I allowed an open moment for this girl to do something horrible.

I was disgusted with her. She knew I had a betrothed.... or did she?

I am disgusted with myself, even though it wasn't entirely my fault.

My knuckles and fingers were pale as I gripped my saddle handles way too tight. I left that woman in the cove without a care.

I needed to find Astrid.

She can be very sensitive in this area and has every right to be. Her warrior spirit fights for all that she loves and when that is threatened, her retaliation can be deadly.

Oh my gods, what have I done? I feel like such a screw-up for allowing this to happen.

This is all my fault.

I can't stop wiping the possible contamination from my lips that belonged to my blonde Valkyrie.

And only her.

Toothless cooed deeply as I throw my head down on the back of his neck.

"Oh Toothless... I hope I didn't lose her... it's just a huge misunderstanding", I say against his cool scales.

Where would she have gone?

I ponder the thought as I rub my chin. My heart was pounding by the moment as I try to strategize her possible location.

I pull my small, but developing map from my leather armor and look at all the little islands her and I have mapped together.

"Ah", I say narrowing in at one small, hidden island just south of Berk.

"Nidder", I murmured to myself trying to fold the map, which was whipping around in my hands.

I smirk at the memory of my Astrid trying to name it based off of the island our Deadly Nadder and Night Fury bonded on. That was also the first outing together, first mapped island besides our own homeland, and the first place her and I shared a kiss privately.

Many firsts were shared in that place and... I doubt that our first fight would miss out on all the action.

Toothless and I set course for Nidder as the sun rose high in the sky, pointing out that it was midday. I scrunch my face in determination as the small island comes into the horizon.

"There! Faster bud!", I pat him and he roars in pursuit.

We hover the island, just as Astrid had done over Berk. I search and search...

Finally...

I see the blue and yellow Deadly Nadder poking around some trees.

I instruct Toothless to land beside Stormfly and she gives a concerned gurgle, following sad eyes.

"Where is she girl?", I rub her large snout.

I was expecting to hear loud grunts and a blade shredding bark to splinters as her mighty arm throws her axe.

The Nadder begins to walk and I follow closely behind in search for her beautiful rider.

I prepared myself for the lashing out and screams to be thrown upon my eardrums.
I prepared for the talk down I deserved.
