Stoick's POV.

Ah, another long day has come to an end. I'm really glad Hiccup's finally home from his journeys. Even if it's just for a little while. I've been worried about him lately and seeing that's he's okay now, it just makes me relieved.

However, I have been noticing some changes with him. He's much softer. At least, to one special blonde girl that follows him around wherever he goes.

Author's POV.

The door to the Haddock household opened and in came the two young adults, laughing about something Fishlegs had said earlier.

"Ah, finally home now, are we?" Stoick's voice came from the back of the house. He was sitting at the table, eating.

The two haltered and they looked surprised. "Dad?" Hiccup asked and his face went straight. "Aye. What brings you two here?" The chief booming voice said. He tried to look serious but honestly, he was about to burst.

However, Stoick kept his straight face. "Oh, uhm...Astrid-"

The blonde cut him off. "My parents aren't home and...I didn't want to go to sleep in an empty house so I came here to spend the night...is that okay?" She asked, hesitating.

"Depends," Stoick said, his brows furrowed as if he was angry. He stood up and walked over to them. "Depends...?" Hiccup asked, trailing off.

"Yeah. It depends one something."

Astrid looked down. She was a bad liar. Her parents were home. She just didn't want to sleep alone because it was lonely. She wanted to be with Hiccup.

Said, young man gave a questioned look to his father.

"It depends on when you guys will tell me how long you've been together..."

Hiccup started coughing, choking on his saliva. Astrid's head whipped up and she looked at him. "Dad!" Hiccup complained between the coughs.

"Okay, okay."

The chief gave up and walked back to the table, in through the door behind it.

When Astrid turned her head to look at her boyfriend, she started to laugh softly. He was beat red.

"Oh my Thor, Hiccup. Come on..." She said and grabbed his hand, pulling him upstairs. Stoick was the most heavy sleeper she'd ever met. He could basically sleep through an earth quake without waking up so they were good.

Astrid smiled and but her lip, pushing him into his bed and leaning over him, placing her lips on his.

"Mm," Hiccup hummed into the kiss and snaked his arms around her waist, pulling her against him, tightly.

"Hiccup..." Astrid whispered as she pulled away, slowly sitting up and pulling him with her. She placed her hands on the strap on his chest and undid it, pulling off his leather armor. Her hand trailed under his shirt and, for the first time, she could feel his skin.

More then just the sun on his face and hands or his arms.

Her hand trailed up his stomach and chest, her fingertips mapping every inch of him into her memory. Leaning in, she pressed her lips to the skin slightly under his ear and kissed it.

Eventually, it lead to him getting a hickey. Astrid smiled into his neck, her shirt stripped off and laying on the floor away from the door.

Her leggings had joined in along with his pants and shirt.

They might've gone a little too far that night but they didn't regret anything. Plus, they were careful so something bad happened.

Expect for those three rounds of fierce dragon porn.

Stoick yawned and drank his mug of yak milk. He sighed and looked up to the loft. Usually, Hiccup would've been up by now but he was still sleeping. And Toothless was downstairs.

He furrowed his brows and placed his mug on the table, slowly and quietly walking up the stairs.

Once he reached the top, a huge smile formed on his lips.

Hiccup and Astrid, in the same bed, snuggled together. The blanket was halfway down Hiccup's upper body and he could clearly see that both of them where naked.

He grinned and walked downstairs and out through the door before.

"Today, my son became a man!"
