It was a chilly, stormy day on Dragon's Edge. It was a week after they defeated Viggo and Ryker, and a week and a half since Hiccup and Astrid started dating. The Dragon Riders were all in the clubhouse, the fire heating up the room and casting an orange glow to the room, and rain pounded on the roof. The twins were punching each other like they usually do on rainy days, Fishlegs was reading a book, Snotlout was sitting on a chair looking as bored as ever, and the newly announced couple were snuggled up against the wall with a blanket over their legs.

"Punch harder! I didn't even feel that one!" Tuffnut shouted at his twin sister, Ruffnut. She drew her arm back and punched him as hard as she could. "Now that's more like it!" Hiccup and Astrid, who were watching their game, chuckled. 

Astrid changed her shirt into a warmer one and kept her shoulder pads off. Her shirt was blue and had long baggy sleeves that got tight at the wrist. Hiccup had left his leather and shoulder pads off, leaving him in his red tunic, pants, and a boot. Astrid laid her head on Hiccup's shoulder and shivered slightly as a gust of wind made it's way through the clubhouse. Hiccup wrapped his arm around her and rubbed her arms.

"You cold?" He asked.

"No, I'm shivering because I'm warm." SHe snapped back and moved next to him instead of snuggled up against his side. Seeing his hurt expression, she sighed, and snuggled back against him. She laid her head on his shoulder, wrapped her arms around his middle, and locked her fingers on his other side. "Sorry." She murmured. Hiccup puled the blanket up higher and pressed a kiss to the top of her head. 

"It's okay, Astrid. It's a crappy day for all of us." He rubbed the skin right above his prosthetic with his hand and bit his lip. Astrid looked at him worriedly as he took it off. "It was getting uncomfortable and pinching me." He rolled his pants leg back down and settled back next to his girlfriend. 

"Okay, jut tell me if the pain get's worse." She said, worried he might get a phantom pain.She kissed his cheek. He looked at her and pressed his lips to hers. 

Snotlout watched the exchange with jealousy. His blood boiled as he watched Hiccup kiss his crush.

Why does Hiccup always get to be the hero?

Why does Hiccup always get the best dragon out there? A Nightfury! Don't get him wrong, he loves Hookfang.

Why does Hiccup always get to be the leader?

And why does Hiccup get the girl? The girl he liked since they were 13! He could have anyone but he chooses Astrid! It just wasn't fair to Snotlout. He thought he should get Astrid because he liked her longer. (Mhmmm. Whatever helps you sleep at night.)  He doesn't understand why Astrid chose Hiccup. He watched the couple pull away from the kiss, Snotlout glared at Hiccup

Astrid stood. "I'm going to find another blanket." Then she walked out of the room. Snotlout watched Hiccup hop to the table and take a drink of water. Snotlout smirked and walked over to the taller boy.

"hey Hiccup." he said, crossing his arms over his chest. Hiccup looked at him and set his cup down.

"Uh, hey." Hiccup replied.

"I see you don't have your fake leg on." Snotlout noted as he looked at Hiccup's leg.

"Thank you for stating the obvious." Hiccup said, sarcasm dripping off every word. 

"Does it hurt, wimp. We all know you're not strong. We all know you're just a weakling pretending to be strong."

"What? What's this about?" Hiccup was very confused. 

"You always get to be the hero." Snotlout gave him a little shove. 

"You get the coolest dragon." Hookfang made a sad gurgle and turned away from the Dragon Riders. Snotlout kicked Hiccup's bad leg sending the boy to stumble and fall. He slowly stood.

"You always get to be the leader." Snotlout punched Hiccup's chest, knocking the air out of him. 

"And you get the girl I've liked since we were 13!" Snotlout punched Hiccup's jaw. Hiccup fell and cradled his now bruised jaw. Snotlout started throwing kicks and punches everywhere on Hiccup's body. 

"Snotlout-" Hiccup grunted as he was punched in the stomach. "-Stop."

"Only if you let me have Astrid!" Snotlout wouldn't ever do this to his cousin but jealousy is a dangerous thing.

"No! She-" He grunted when Snotlout kicked his bad leg and tears sprung to his eyes. "-Can't stand you!"

"Then I won't stop!" Snotlout continued to beaut up his poor cousin.

"C'mon Hiccup! Where's Thor's mighty hammar!" Tuffnut yelled.

"Snotlout stop!" Hiccup said but was silenced by a punch. 

Astrid walked back into the room looking down at the blanket in her hands. "Sorry, I couldn't find one and I had to look a little longer. I found it-" She looked up and saw Snotlout beating her almost unconscious boyfriend. Snotlout punched Hiccup stomach harder than she'd seen anyone punch before and kick his bad leg. She dropped the blanket, ran over to the two boys, and pried Snotlout off of Hiccup. 

"SNOTLOUT! What are you doing!?" She boomed and glared at Snotlout. Hiccup curled in a ball and tried not to cry because of the pain he was in. 

"Obviously beating him up." He said.

"WHY?" 

"Because! He has everything! Even you! I've liked you since we were 13!" Snotlout said. "SO jealousy got to me and I did that." He gestured at Hiccup. Astrid turned to the twins and Fishlegs.

"And you just let this happen?" She asked in a menacing tone. "All of you, out." The drgaon riders left and Astrid knelt by Hiccup. "Hiccup, let it out. It's okay to cry." She ran a hand through his auburn hair. He whimpered and scooted closer to Astrid. She sat him up and saw his bad leg was very bruised. 

"My leg..." He trailed off as a tear rolled down his cheek. Astrid stood, grabbed some ice, and put it against his leg. She lifted his shirt and saw his abdomen was bruised badly. 

"Hiccup let's get you to your hut. The rain cleared." She said and helped him stand.

LINE BREAK---

They made it to Hiccup's hut and bandaged him all up. Hiccup finished telling Astrid what happened as they laid in bed. SHe traced patterns on his bare arm as he spoke.

"And yeah. That's what happened."

"What a jerk." She said.

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine now. Just tired."

"Then go to sleep, you dork." She ran her fingers through his hair until he fell asleep.

THE END.
