Summary: Astrid and the twins had spent all day working on the edge. The rest of the gang had visited Berk. 
                          
"Oh I really could use a back massage right now." Astrid commented while dropping another log. 
                          
"A massage?" Tuff questioned. "From who?" He asked.
                          
"Uhh- Fishlegs, he's the official healer isn't he?" She lied.
                          
"Do massages really help?" Ruff questioned. 
                          
"Yes! A lot! My muscles feel so much better afterwards." She answered. "I'm going to go get one tonight." She said exitedly.
                          
"We will come with you! We must try your method of pain relief." Tuff said just as exited.
                          
"Oh! Uhhhh! No!" Astrid yelled.
                          
"Why not A?" Tuff asked, taken aback.
                          
"Well you have to...let your muscles settle before you get a massage, since you're new to it all. My muscles are, used to it." She lied again.
                          
"Oh! We shall get one tomorrow then dear brother." Tuff announced and they walked towards the clubhouse to prepare dinner before the others got back. 
                          
Astrid wiped her forehead. "Dodged one there Stormfly." Astrid commented. Just then, the others got back. They landed outside the clubhouse. Except they were missing one person. "Hiccup!" Astrid shouted as she heard Toothless land behind her.
                          
"Aww, I was trying to surprise you M'lady." He pouted.
                          
She giggle and enveloped him in a hug. She immediately regreted her movement. Hiccup heard her groan in pain.
                          
"What's wrong?" He asked, pulling away (gently) from the hug. He inspected her with his eyes, looking for an injury.
                          
"Nothing, it's fine. It's just all the labor today has taken its toll on by shoulders and back." She answered.
                          
Hiccup grinned slightly. "Would you like a massage?" He asked sweetly. Astrid tried to hide her smile by looking at the ground.
                          
"Yes please." She blushed.
                          
Hiccup took her hand and they walked to his hut.
                          
Astrid stripped the top half of her body and laid all her armor and clothes on the ground next to her side of the bed. She lied down on his bed and he went into his bathroom and washed his hands before grabbing the pain relief ointment and a new moisturizer Gothi had given him to use after the ointment because it had a tendency to dry out their skin. Yes, Hiccup also used the ointment, Astrid wasn't the only one who got hurt.
                          
Hiccup placed the two jars on her bedside table. 
                          
He gently started massaging away. Before they knew it, he was done. He could do this with his eyes closed at this point.
                          
He grabbed the moisturizer and spread it over her back, kind of giving her a bonus massage. Hiccup stood up beside the bed and stretched out his back. "Babe? Could you do me a favor and walk down my spine?" He asked.
                          
She nodded and he lied down on the ground and spread his arms out in a 'T' shape. Astrid placed her bare foot at the base of his spine then slowly transferred her weight onto that foot. One slow step at a time she walked up his spine. (This might sound painful but my friends do it when my back needs cracking and if your gentle it's really nice) 
                          
Astrid stood off his back and helped him up. 
                          
They both lied down in bed. It's was a cold night so Astrid cuddled up to Hiccup for extra warmth.

The next morning they woke up simultaneously.
                          
Astrid sat up, only to be pulled back down by Hiccup. "Babe we need to go to breakfast." She looked up at him. "You know how the gang gets when we miss meals." She continued.
                          
"Mmmm I know." He whined. He hugged her tightly and kissed the top of her head. "Ok let's go." He said with very little enthusiasm.
                          
Astrid entered the club house a couple seconds before Hiccup.
                          
"Look what the cat dragged in." Snotlout teased. "Or more accurately: what Astrid dragged in." He laughed.
                          
"Good morning to you to, Snotlout." Hiccups voice thickly laced with sarcasm. 
                          
The couple sat down at the table.

Fishlegs prepared his massage bed for the Nuts. He got his ointment, which was different to Hiccups. Hiccup and Astrids ointment was kind of like a prescription from Gothi, as they tended to get more serious injuries.
                          
Tuffnut took off his shirt (this came with many tears- oop sorry Tuff. Many you-know-whats, as Tuff hadn't taken his shirt off since the whole change wing thing) he lied down on the table and Fishlegs got to work.
                          
Soon it was Ruffs turn. Fishlegs was no longer used to massaging women, he must admit, he was pretty glad when Hiccup took over Astrid for him. Although he didn't think Hiccup would provide the same massage for Ruffnut.
                          
Fishlegs knew that for Hiccup and Astrid, massage time was a pretty intimate time for them. 
                          
Ruffnut stayed in her bindings Fishlegs tried not to touch the area near her bindings in fear of making Ruff uncomfortable.
                          
Soon he was done with her too.

(Question: what's the time for you right now, I'm pretty curious?)
                          
Hiccup sat in the clubhouse, sketching. The twins walked in muttering angrily. "What's wrong with you?" Hiccup asked. 
                          
"Your girlfriend lied to us!" Tuff yelled.
                          
"Astrid?"
                          
"What other girlfriend would we be talking about?" Ruff accused.
                          
"Touché" He stared at the angry twins. "Ok what did she say?" He asked.
                          
"She said that a massage would help our muscles!" Tuff explained.
                          
"And it didn't!" Tuff added.
                          
"It does help her muscles, she gets at least one every week." Hiccup stated rather confused.
                          
"H I hate to say it but I've got a feeling she's cheating on you." Tuff looked at Ruff and they nodded sadly. "She must be spending a lot of time with Fishy." He added.
                          
"What? No. I give her the massage Tuff." He explained.
                          
"So all those moans are from massages? Ohhh that makes sense!" Tuff concluded.
                          
"What! Yeah, most of them." He whispered the last bit. 
                          
"What was that?"
                          
"Nothing." Hiccup inhaled sharply. "What was wrong with your massage?" He asked politely.
                          
"He barely touched my sore spot Hiccup!" Ruff complained.
                          
"Let me guess, your sore spot is near where your binding wrap around your back?" Hiccup asked. Ruff nodded impressed. "He's scared he'll slip and touch your boob." Hiccup stated plainly. "Astrid had the same problem." Ruff rolled her eyes. "Look, Ruff if you want a good massage, visit Gothi when we get back to Berk." Hiccup summed up. 
                          
"That's not fair!" She whined. "Why does everyone get good massages BUT me!?" She complained.
                          
"Not everyone-" 
                          
"Yes everyone Hiccup! All the boys have Fishlegs and Astrid has you!" Tuff cut him off.
                          
"Besides Astrid gets different massages." Hiccup stated. The twins took a synchronized step forward, waiting for Hiccup to go on. "The ointment that Astrid and I use is a better pain killer, I'm quite litterally her boyfriend so I've been given free roam of her body, a.k.a it doesn't matter where she is sore and lastly, we sleep in the same bed, meaning her masseuse is quite conveniently, five centimeters away." Hiccup explained.
                          
"Soo.... You won't give me a massage?" Ruff summed up.
                          
"No Ruffnut, I will not give you an intimate massage." Hiccup sighed.
