HICCUP'S POV
                          
"Ah...Toothless..." I said as he hit Astrid and I with a tree.
                          
"I see he is having one of his artistic moments..." She laughed as she leaned back and I nodded.
                          
"Yeah..." I smiled as I watched Toothless attempt to draw Stormfly. Astrid and I laughed, before we lay back and watched the clouds and the red sky. I had my arm around her and it was all peaceful in the cove.
                          
"We don't do this enough..." I sighed and she laughed.
                          
"That's because you're always busy with chief duties!"
                          
"I know, I know...but you know that isn't entirely my fault..." I replied and she nodded, before she looked up at me.
                          
"I know, but I would like a few minutes alone with my boyfriend, chief or not!"
                          
I smiled and kissed her head. "I'll make time...I promise.
                          
"You promise? I can hold that on you now..." She said as she sat up. I frowned and before I knew it she came and sat on top of me, straddling me.
                          
"Oh really? How?" I asked as I placed both my hand behind my head.
                          
"Well...I'll become obsessive and demand to know where you are every single second of the day and I'll just join you on your little chief expeditions and if that doesn't work...I'll just move into your house so at least you'll see me in the morning and in the evening!" She said as she rubbed her hands up and down my chest slowly and I laughed.
                          
"Move into my house? I mean you practically live there already!"
                          
"I know...but Gothi won't let us live together because we're not married and everything..." She sighed.
                          
"Not this marriage thing again..." I moaned and she threw her hands up in defence.
                          
"Hey, not my words!"
                          
I sighed as Astrid placed her hands on my chest again, rubbing them all over me. "Why does everyone want us to get married? I like things the way they are!
                          
"So do I! I mean, we do everything now that we'd do when we're married!" She said and I smiled at her and she hit my chest. "Almost...everything..." She added and I nodded.
                          
"Well...why wait till marriage?" I said and she frowned. I threw my arms around her waist and pulled her down to the side, and lay her flat as she squealed. I kissed her passionately as she ran her leg up mine and held my face.
                          
She smiled through the kiss and my muscles tensed and I kissed her jawline and neck as she held my head. Sadly for us, this was how far we were allowed to go. Dad had almost caught us going 'all the way' and that didn't end so well because he gave us the biggest lecture known to Viking-kind. Now that he was no more, it was Mom's turn to make sure we followed Viking tradition and the whole physical intimacy thing wasn't part of that.
                          
Damn, we could've kept going but I heard the warning horn ring out. We sat up quickly. "What was that?" She said and I shook my head.
                          
"Let's go find out..." I stood up and pulled Astrid up with me. I whistled for Toothless who came over as did Stormfly and after we climbed onto our dragons, we flew back to the main village.
