The reception was amazing. It was busy, loud, and fun. Great food, good times, and nothing but smiles all around. Even Stoick. Despite the messing up he did, he was still part of the tribe, and he knew what he did was wrong. Regardless, Hiccup's punishment could have been casting him out, or killing him for attempted murder on Hiccup's, at the time, betrothed. Instead, Hiccup issued Stoick to prison for a week, community service for two weeks while returning to the prison all night, and then a final week of being locked up think about what he'd done. Hiccup forgave him as a member of the tribe, but not as his father. It was completely understandable too, and Stoick did not blame Hiccup for his decision. What Stoick did was bad. However, overall; it was a great time and still going too. Well, it was about to end for Hiccup and Toothless; they would be leaving in half an hour to their honeymoon, as per agreement to stay on Dragon Island one night, and then back to Norway tomorrow to enjoy a full month of just them. Henrik already approved the time off, and was giving it to Hiccup paid as well. $300 a week, as Henrik's wedding gift to Hiccup and Toothless. Everyone already knew to leave them alone and let them enjoy their wedded bliss before it was back to business.
Hiccup and Toothless now were sitting at their solo table and watching everything with smiles. In thirty minutes, they'd be on their way to Dragon Island with Scardian. Everyone already ate dinner, had cake, danced…Some were even dunk too. There was no bouquet or garter toss; seemed unnecessary with two males as the ones getting married.
"So…My sister gave me an interesting offer earlier, and I know we're waiting on it for now…But felt like it'd be a topic we could talk chat about." Toothless began as Hiccup looked at him.
"Oh boy." Hiccup laughed a little.
"It's nothing bad, but…My sister offered to be a surrogate for us, when we decide to have kids." Toothless mentioned.
"Yeah, really? Why?" Hiccup blinked.
"So that way it would be like you and me had the child. You know, from both our bloodlines; a child from us since she's my sister and all." Toothless explained.
"Would it…Work the same with me being human and her a dragon?" Hiccup asked, unsure of how that would work.
"As long as she's human when it were to happen, don't see why not. Fair warning, though, is that we could end up with more than one just the one time it's done." Toothless informed.
"Why? Twins or anything don't run in my family…Do they in yours?" Hiccup wondered now.
Toothless shook his head. "No, nothing like that, mate. When dragons get pregnant, it's to a litter, not one or two. A dragon mother could bear up to a litter of four in one cycle. But, then again; that's between dragons. I don't know how it would go with you and her, even if done by in-vitro or something. I'm just giving the warning that it could be more than one; if we decided to go through with it." He smiled.
"I'll keep it in mind, but we said we wouldn't worry about kids for at least a year. Unless you're wanting to bump it up?" Hiccup inquired.
"What? No, no, my love. I was merely bringing it up because Alva did earlier before the wedding started. I said we were waiting a year or so since things have been busy and wanted time to settle into married life among your…Many jobs. Just thought I'd let you know, give ya something to think about when it draws closer." Toothless leaned over to kiss his cheek and smile afterward.
"Ah, alright then. A very nice offer, and we can talk about it more as next year rolls up." Hiccup replied; it was nice. The more than one kid thing put him off a bit, but he supposed that twins were possible no matter what. Still, a year was a long way off, so there was no need to psych himself out with a concern when it wasn't happening right now. And there was no worry of an unplanned pregnancy between himself and Toothless as they were both males.
As the next half-hour went by, Hiccup and Toothless shared one more dance together and decided that it was time to depart to get started on their honeymoon. It was now 8 pm as their dance was over and neither had to saw a word to know that they wanted to head out. "You want to make the announcement?" Toothless asked his mate.
"Nah, you go ahead." Hiccup smiled, leaning against him with a small yawn.
Toothless chuckled a little as he brought Hiccup back over to their table; the bags they packed for an overnight stay were against the wall. "Grab our stuff and call for Scardian?" Toothless asked. Hiccup nodded, grabbing the bags and giving a long whistle. Scardian made his way inside, getting the door open himself and minding other Vikings to get next to Hiccup, who he greeted with a squawk and nuzzling to the cheek. But not doing that before Toothless gave the nod it was okay to touch Hiccup; that was still a dragon thin, in any species. You didn't touch another dragons mate. Toothless smiled, assuring Scardian that he was alright, as was Sharpshot, and most every dragon that was trained. There would still be worry of wild dragons smelling a dragon on Hiccup and trying to maybe take him.
Hiccup started getting their bags hooked up, and then himself in the saddle while Toothless looked out to everyone, trying to call their attention. Of course, people were drunk and having fun, so no one was listening to his gentle and hands up approach. Hiccup rolled his eyes as he cupped his hands to his mouth and let out a roar; the one like a Night Fury's as the room hushed almost instantly. "That's better…Go ahead, Tooth." Hiccup smiled.
"I…Completely forgot you knew how to do the roar…And I love that's how you quieted the room down too." Toothless smiled. "Anyway…Now that I got everyone's attention…" He began. "Hiccup and I are heading out to start on our honeymoon. For the heads up, so no one ends up there to explore or whatever; we're going to Dragon Island. It was the start of peace between humans and dragons because that's where we defeated Red Death and stopped the war. From there, we'll stop here in the morning to do a final check in and discuss to do until we make our next visit, which will be a month from now. We decided to enjoy the idea Hiccup told me about with honeymooning for thirty, uninterrupted days full of drinking and sex."
"TOOTHLESS!" Hiccup paled.
"Hey, you married me knowing how I am." Toothless shrugged with a smile. "You didn't think I wasn't gonna tell them, did you? I'm gonna make sure no one shows up unexpectedly like almost all of our friends do."
"I didn't care you said what we were gonna do, just that you had to go and say it was my idea when we all know I don't do tradition…At least, most of them I don't." Hiccup muttered.
"Well, you are the one who told me about, love. I'm just giving credit for the idea where it's due…" Toothless chuckled. "Also…Everyone knows what happened on the wedding night, then what's the big deal if they know I'm gonna hole up their king and give him the royal treatment for a month?"
"Toothless Raseri! I swear to the Gods, you better quit with the publicity of our sex life before you get nothing for the next year!" Hiccup warned with a glare that Toothless actually knew better than to test or tease when given.
"Does saying I love you get me out of trouble?" Toothless asked.
"Depends how much longer you take in getting us out of here…" Hiccup huffed.
"Aye, sir. Well, on that cheery note. It's been fun, but we're gonna bail." Toothless smiled and waved, heading to get behind Hiccup on Scardian then trying to hold Hiccup tightly and kiss his cheek.
"Spitelout, you know the plan for the night?" Hiccup asked.
"Aye, Hiccup. Party doesn't go 11 pm, clean up and everyone home by midnight. Then we'll see you in the morning to discuss things for while you are away." Spitelout informed with a nod.
"Very good. Thanks for a great night, and helping make all this possible. I know I never thought this is where my life would end up, but I'm glad it did and that I've got all of you part of it. Night!" Hiccup smiled before patting Scardian's side before the Nadder bolted up and out the door, heading West for Dragon Island.

Once Scardian landed, Hiccup and Toothless got off and took their things with them before allowing him to take off and hang with some other dragons he knew. Toothless felt like he kind of ticked Hiccup off earlier with the joking; he probably shouldn't purpose make his husband mad just to get the reaction out of him, even if it wasn't cute. Hiccup had no shame in what they did, but he was right; it should be kept private regardless of everyone knowing or assuming what was going on. Hiccup was quietly setting up the bed things and getting a fire going to keep them warm through the night. Toothless didn't want their wedding night to be ruined just because of his dragon pride with no one caring what couple who were mated did. Most dragons would brag to one another, and Toothless couldn't always stop that when there was a group of people having fun.
Toothless went over to Hiccup and hugged him from behind. "I'm sorry about what happened on Berk, babe. I didn't meant to cross the boundaries of our personal life, even if everyone know what's gonna happen. I didn't mean to upset you by being forward, and then pushing when the joke was over…" He asked, closing his eyes and nuzzling Hiccup's neck affectionately, giving the soft whimpers and croons.
Hiccup sighed softly before turning and facing his husband. "You know that I have no shame in what we do, Toothless. And I know everyone knows what we do. It's not about…Being embarrassed, shy, innocent or anything like that. It's that I'm just…Not one to flaunt, you know? I don't care what they do, say, or think…But I'd rather not give them something to talk or think about. Their assumptions? Cool. They keep them to themselves. I just rather us keep our sex life to us, you know? I don't mind jokes when everyone is getting teased about something, but just me? That's…Not a feeling I like to have. Being the only one teased about stuff. And then there was the going too far by saying you'd lock us up for a month. It was cool with just saying tonight, everyone expected that. But didn't need to add onto it…"
Toothless understood and held him tightly. "I'm sorry, love. I was just…Caught up in the excitement that we made it to this point. Being married and what not. For dragons, this is when the mating happens, so it's a big deal and every dragon in the pack for any species knows it. For us, this is when a dragon becomes an adult in our community. We don't go by age. Mating is the mark of adulthood, becoming a full dragon…Our coming of age." He explained. "And dragons have no shame about admitting when they're going off to fuck, and they brag to hell and back about it. I can't always fight my dragon tendencies…Like tonight, even though I've marked you twice…I'll end up doing it again tonight. Because this is our wedding night, consummating our marriage as humans. So this tonight is what mating is. Marking our marriage as dragons."
"I get it, Tooth. I do. And among the dragons, I suppose I don't care…But with the Vikings…I prefer to keep it between us…" Hiccup said lightly.
"No, we will keep it between us from all of them from now on. Unless it's in joking fashion like you said before. It's our business, no one needs to now. I'm sorry for upsetting you earlier…Will you forgive me?" Toothless asked.
Hiccup smiled gently and kissed him. "I'll forgive you…If you lay me down, then show me how much you love me by ravaging me to Valhalla and back again?" Hiccup gripped the front of his suit, looking up into his eyes.
"Done and done." Toothless wrapped an arm around Hiccup's waist, cupping his cheek and drawing him close to capture his lips in a passionate and keep kiss. Exactly as Hiccup told Toothless to do; he laid Hiccup down on their makeshift bed as they continued kissing feverishly. Their hands roamed one another's bodies, working the clothing off and tossing it carelessly.

After hours of sex, but split up in just foreplay or taking breaks to recover; Hiccup and Toothless collapsed on the bed together. Sweating, naked, but smiling ear to ear from the incredible feeling coursing through both of them. The two cleaned themselves up a bit, and cuddled under the blanket. Hiccup laid on Toothless's shoulder with his arm over Toothless's midsection. Toothless's arm was around his shoulders while they tried to calm down enough to sleep peacefully.
"I love you, Hiccup. And you've made me the happiest dragon in the entire world…Thank you for not killing me that day, and being different than everyone else." Toothless turned his head to look down at Hiccup with a smile.
"You've made me happier than I ever believed or even dreamed I could be, Toothless. Thank you for not killing me, and always being at my side. For helping me change this world, and my life." Hiccup said, looking up at him. "Thank you for everything…I love you. Forever and always."
"It's you and me, for the rest of our lives," Toothless smiled.
"And it will continue to be you and me, living our one life," Hiccup replied with his own smile.
"Together forever." They said in unison before kissing again, and then letting sleep take them with ease knowing that they built their lives to what they wanted and they'd keep living the life they had as they knew and wanted.
Author's Note; And here it is, folks. The end of Life As We Know It. I realize how utterly dark that sounds, but oh well. You know what I mean. I'm sorry it's taken so long to get it done. Real Life decided to hit me like a freight train the last couple of months, coupled with losing my drive a couple times. But here it is, finished as promised. Thank you to everyone who stayed with it until the end, and who has stayed a loyal fan of my works. Update, I will be getting right on working on For Whatever May Come to get that done next. Until next time, unless you wanna find me on Skype, or Facebook(Both of those addresses are available on my profile). Nightstar out.
