2026 U.S. Figure Skating Championships: St. Louis, Missouri, USA

Astrid Hofferson studied the ice in front of her as she focused on her task at hand. She was fearless, she was one of the best in the world in her sport, and today Astrid would prove that she has what it takes to represent the United States in the Winter Olympics taking place in Italy that February. She would win this.

Astrid heard them announcing her name and moved into position for the start of her long program. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, listening to the sound of people milling about in the audience, and then she heard the beginning strains of her music. She had this.

Astrid moved through the beginning artistic movements of her song, and now was the time when she completely tuned out everyone as she relied on her body to take her through the well practiced movements. Almost immediately she moved into position for her first jump pass and she jumped high, performed an exceptional triple lutz, and triple toe loop. For a second Astrid let herself listen to the crowd’s reaction before she tuned it out again, using it as fuel for what she would do next.

Over the next four minutes Astrid performed more jumps, a triple flip, a double axel and triple toe loop combination, and more from where that came from. She would do spins as well that dazzled the audience and would garner her more points.

When the music finally ended all too soon and Astrid was in her final pose of the routine she knew she’d done it. When the judges released her score, she allowed herself to finally smile. She won; she would be taking home gold from this competition today. And what was more was that Astrid Hofferson officially gained her place to compete in the 2026 Winter Olympics. She was finally an Olympian.

The ISU Short Track European Championships 2026: Tilburg, Netherlands

Crown Prince of Berk and Short Track Speed Skater, Hiccup Haddock studied the track in front of him pointedly ignoring all the people looking at him. He knew what they were thinking that his privilege allowed him to be here that he wasn’t good enough, at least not anymore. A few years ago, he was at the top competitively until an injury changed everything. Now everyone doubted him, doubted that Hiccup could ever win his way to a place at the Olympics.

The fact of the matter was that Berk was not a huge country, nor one that invested hugely in speed skating or in the Olympics at all. While Hiccup was put in skates when he was three years old it was only by watching skating on tv that Hiccup discovered speed skating as a child and he’d fallen in love with the sport over the last decade.

Most of the countries that won medals in speed skating could afford to invest in their athletes, and the fact of the matter was that Berk had never once taken home any medal in the winter games. In the Summer Olympics, Berk was known for being a powerhouse of rowing and sailing, owing to their Viking roots, and the fact that they lived on an island.

Berk was a bit bigger than Iceland, and the population was twice that of its neighbor. Berk was also a country far to the north so you would think they were used to winter sports, but unfortunately that was far from the case. Hiccup’s father Stoick put him in skates because he hoped his son would like hockey, but Hiccup had instead fallen in love with short track speed skating.

The thing with speed skating was that you didn’t just need to be fast; you also needed to be aware of your surroundings and know when you could move and pass others decisively. Hiccup studied this and while he wasn’t the best athlete on the ice, he was likely one of the ones with the most awareness and knowledge on the ice.

His leg twinged a bit reminding Hiccup of the reason he never attended the Olympics back in 2022. He was at this very same event when he was pushed into the boards by another skater. Hiccup never felt pain so horrifically as he did that day and his officially diagnoses were a severely comminuted tibial shaft fracture, and a complete fibula fracture, with soft tissue trauma. It took over two years of surgery, painful rehab, exercises, and pain management to get him back on the ice and Hiccup wasn’t about to waste his one and only chance.

Hiccup’s first race was the 1500m which was the longer of the two races he was competing in that day. First, he had a heat, and if he did good enough, he would advance to the quarterfinals, then semifinals, then finals, and maybe then win a chance to go to the Olympics.

Going to the Olympics would be huge for Berk, and while they historically competed in winter sports at the Olympics for decades, nobody ever got close to the podium. Short track speed skating was a new sport for Berk, and Hiccup was the only athlete. He knew his odds of getting a medal at the Olympics were very low, but his main goal was earning the right to represent his small country on the world’s largest stage.

Hiccup’s first race started and he skated clean and was able to pass others and easily make it into second place and advanced to the quarterfinals. He knew it would only get harder and that it did. His leg was sore, but Hiccup knew he could still skate on it.

When the race for the semifinal started Hiccup held on to 6^th place, watching the body language of the other racers. When the skater from Russia shoulder checks the one from France, they both lost momentum and speed and Hiccup took advantage of the moment and skated past them. Then he took advantage of a corner to sneak past the Hungarian skater and found himself in 3^rd place. Then he skated hard until he reached the finish line earning his spot in the final.

When the final happened, Hiccup found that he was unable to get past the leaders and wound up in fifth place. Still, that was all he needed and Hiccup punched his ticket for the 1500m at the Olympics, and then he just had one more event to do the same for.

The 1000m was a more challenging beast but it was also Hiccup’s favorite and best event. It is a quicker race, with less distance to make a move, but it offers tactical challenges that Hiccup loves about it. He flies through his heat, the quarterfinal, and the semifinal, placing second in all of them. Then he made it to the final, and Hiccup knew it would be his most difficult test of the day.

Before the race Hiccup spent time icing his leg and doing stretches. The unfortunate thing about breaking your bones so badly that you needed rod, plate, and screws means that your leg will never be the same again, and pain is a constant. Hiccup had a high pain threshold, but he still would do everything he could to mitigate it so it wasn’t as bad as it could be. 

Hiccup was skating against veteran skaters who had far more experience than he did, and against skaters who had already skated in previous Olympics. This wouldn’t be easy by no means. When the race started Hiccup fought with everything he had and when it was all over, he looked at the scoreboard. 4^th place.

Hiccup found himself smiling. 4^th place meant he didn’t win a podium place today at the competition, but it also meant he was 4^th in all of Europe in the 1000m. Not only that but Hiccup achieved his main goal of the day. He was going to the Olympics and would be allowed to represent his small but proud country on an international scale. And to Hiccup doing that for Berk was worth any medal.

All Eyes on Astrid Hofferson as Team USA Seeks Gold

With the Olympic Opening Ceremony just days away, 20 year old figure skater Astrid Hofferson has become the unexpected face of Team USA’s medal hopes.

The New York native comes off a dominant 2026 U.S. National Championship performance and enters the Games as the 2025 World Champion, making her America’s strongest contender in over a decade. Hofferson stunned judges with technically demanding triple-triple combinations, fast skating speed, and a commanding long program, all of which have revived hopes of ending a 20 year women’s Olympic gold drought for the United States.

The international field remains strong, with contenders from Japan, South Korea, and Russia all capable of posting better scores. Any mistake could shift the podium, but Hofferson’s camp says she’s unfazed.

“She’s young, but she’s ready,” said Team USA coach Mala Wing. “She knows exactly what’s at stake, and she’s skating like it.”

Women’s singles won’t take the ice until later in the competition, but the narrative is already set: if the United States wants gold, Hofferson may be the one to deliver it.

For now the ice waits.

Berk’s First Olympic Speed Skater: Crown Prince Hiccup Heads to Milan Cortina

As the Winter Games in Milan Cortina prepare to kick off, one name is already turning heads though not for conventional medal predictions. Hiccup Haddock, 21, the crown prince of Berk, will compete in Olympic short track speed skating, marking his nation’s first-ever appearance in the sport.

Haddock, who has trained in the sport since the age of five, is entered in the 1000m and 1500m events. Known throughout the circuit for his intelligence on the ice, exceptional track reading, and tactical patience, he arrives in Italy facing a field stacked with medal favorites from the Netherlands, South Korea, Canada, and host nation Italy. Analysts caution that a podium finish would constitute a significant upset.

What has drawn even more attention, however, is the journey that brought the young prince back to Olympic ice at all.

In January 2022, during an Olympic qualifying race, Haddock was pushed into the boards at high speed. The crash resulted in a catastrophic injury: a severely comminuted tibial shaft fracture, a complete fibula fracture, and extensive soft tissue trauma. The incident abruptly halted what had been a steady upward trajectory in his skating career.

Recovery was long and uncertain. Haddock spent more than two years undergoing surgeries, rehabilitation, and relearning basic skating mechanics. He did not return to competition until the tail end of 2024, and even then, his performances reflected the toll of the injury. Once known for explosive acceleration and late-race surges, he has since skated with reduced speed and has typically finished in the middle of the pack, competitive, but clearly still rebuilding.

Despite this, his Olympic qualification stands as a remarkable achievement. As the heir to Berk’s throne, Haddock represents a rare blend of royalty and resilience. Fans and journalists alike are watching closely to see whether his approach, reading opponents, conserving energy, and choosing precise moments to attack, can help him navigate the intense pressure of the Olympic stage, even without the raw speed he once possessed.

For Berk, simply seeing one of its own on Olympic ice is historic. Haddock’s presence in Milan Cortina is already being hailed as inspirational back home, a testament to perseverance in the face of career threatening adversity, regardless of the results.

The short track 1000m and 1500m events will begin later this week, and while medals may be a long shot, all eyes will be on the young prince as he completes Berk’s first Olympic foray, on legs that once nearly ended his career, and on a path few ever manage to skate back to.

Hiccup Haddock looked around in awe as he walked around the stadium holding Berk’s flag up high as he heard his country announced. This was by far the most incredible moment of his young life so far, and the fact that he was an Olympian and would be representing the country he loved was the best thing he could imagine.

Hiccup led his small contingent of Berkians who all were wearing their fancy blue suits and red capes that matched Berk’s flag. The outfit wasn’t exactly modern, and it wasn’t designer like Team USA who expressly wore Ralph Lauren at every opening and closing ceremony, but Hiccup was still exceedingly proud to wear it.

Besides Hiccup himself, the Berkian contingent consisted of a mixed doubles curling team of twins Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston, and an alpine skier called Eret Eretson. Of them all Hiccup had come the closest to winning a competition, but still the odds of anyone stacking up against powerhouse nations was not an easy challenge in the least.

Hiccup completed his circuit around the San Siro Stadium and then stood watching as contingents from other countries made their way around. Nordic countries like Norway and Sweden were well represented of course, and there were also huge contingents from China, South Korea, and Japan. And then of course were the Canadians and the Americans.

Hiccup vaguely wondered what it would be like to come from a country where there was a dominant Olympics program. Those were places where funding was always there and the facilities and equipment existed. When Hiccup first started speed skating there wasn’t even a competition rink in all of Berk. Granted, Hiccup knew as the Crown Prince of Berk he had advantages that few had, and he also had it better than the other competitors from his own country.

Still it was rather unfortunate that there was virtually no speed skating infrastructure on Berk, so he was forced to spend months every year on the Netherlands just to train. The Dutch had better facilities, and Hiccup was grateful for his time there. It was a fine balance between training his sport and serving his royal duties in Berk.

It was the very challenge of being an elite athlete trying to perform on a world stage when your country had nobody else that had ever done the same. It was easier for those in other sports. Eret the skier from Berk ski resorts and mountains in the country to train at, and there were curling clubs, so Hiccup’s curling teammates Ruff and Tuff too had places to train back home.

Hiccup felt immensely proud watching the other athletes file in, and the knowledge that he was part of an elite bunch. Today was the day to celebrate that he made it to the Olympics, and tomorrow he would train for the intensive test that stood before him very soon.

Hours later after Hiccup had returned to the Olympic Village, he found himself hungry and bored and he wandered around the darkened campus until he made it to the dining hall which was open 24/7. He walked inside and made his way through the buffet line and was grateful that there were just as many foods that were familiar to him as there were ones that weren’t.

Hiccup filled a plate and went to sit. There were still several athletes in the dining hall at this time and he knew part of that was due to time zone differences for some of the competitors. He ate his meal in silence, and he found he got some looks, but nobody approached him. That was the disadvantage of being from a country with few competitors.

When Hiccup was done eating, he exited the dining hall while glancing down at his phone. He really should get some sleep since he had early physical therapy and training in the morning.

Suddenly he turned a corner and ran into something or rather someone. Hiccup struggled for a half second to keep from falling and then he reached out and grabbed the arm of the person he ran into.

“Rasskrap! Sorry I didn’t see you there,” Hiccup said, accidentally slipping in the Berkian curse word.

“Helvítis!” said the woman he ran into, also slipping in a Berkian curse word, the one for damn it. She steadied herself and glared at him.

Hiccup looked at the woman in shock and realized that he never ever would’ve imagined hearing his own language in the middle of the athlete’s village from someone that wasn’t even a member of the Berkian delegation.

“Are you from Berk?” Hiccup uttered even as he rapidly took in the woman’s appearance. She was fair skinned with bright blue eyes and blonde hair that was currently tied back in a loose braid. She wore a blue jacket that had the words Team USA emblazoned on it, and she wore long matching workout pants. Hiccup was stunned by the woman’s beauty, and it was a wonder he hadn’t stuttered yet.

“No, I’m not from Berk,” the woman replied still in that irritated tone as she looked him up and down. Her tone softened as she continued to speak. “Though my Mom does come from there and I’ve been speaking the language my whole life.”

Hiccup nodded and wondered how to proceed. “I’m Hiccup Haddock,” he said offering her his hand.

The woman rolled her eyes and punched his shoulder which made Hiccup yelp from the surprise of it. “My Mom’s from Berk, of course I know who you are Prince. And my Mom won’t stop talking about your speed skating; it’s almost as if she forgot her own daughter is at the Olympics too.”

Hiccup winced and rubbed his shoulder. He should be running away from this obviously violent woman but for some reason he felt rooted to the spot. “Well then you have me at a disadvantage. You know who I am, but I don’t know your name,” Hiccup said evenly looking in her blue eyes. They were hypnotic, and he felt like he couldn’t look away.

“It’s Astrid Hofferson,” she acquiesced, still looking at him.

“Oh, I’ve heard of you,” Hiccup said smiling at the reminder. “Figure skater, right? America’s hopes for gold and all that?”

Astrid sighed. “Something like that,” she admitted. “Funny that we just happened to meet the first night in the dining hall of all places. My Mom will flip when I tell her I met the prince of Berk.”

“Here I’m just Hiccup, an Olympian who is trying to prove that I belong,” Hiccup told her, still not looking away from her eyes.

“You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t earn your place,” Astrid pointed out.

“Still, there are lots of people who think I’m just here as a media ploy to drum up tourism for Berk, and that I have no chances at reaching the podium,” Hiccup shrugged, and he thought of how Astrid was actually a very good listener.

“We all have a chance. Even you,” Astrid said encouragingly.

“You don’t know how competitive short track speed skating is,” Hiccup said with a laugh.

“You do know I’m a figure skater, right?” Astrid asked him with a wry grin. “The competition is chock full of divas all thinking they are the best.”

“I can believe that,” Hiccup said with a laugh. “Seems like it’s stressful for us all.”

“Except maybe the curlers,” Astrid joked.

“Don’t tell Ruff and Tuff that,” Hiccup laughed and then at Astrid’s confused look he explained. “They are twins and the mixed doubles curling team from Berk. They equally take curling seriously and not seriously all at the same time.”

“I wish I could treat skating like that,” Astrid admitted looking at him.

“Likewise,” Hiccup replied.

Then as if they were two magnets drawn together Hiccup realized how close he was standing to Astrid, and as he looked into her blue eyes again, he noticed they were locked on him too. They were so close now that he could see her eyelashes, and he felt her breath on his face as his eyes went down to look at her lips. That was all it took and simultaneously their lips crashed together in a passionate first kiss.

Hiccup Haddock Takes the Ice: Berk's Olympic Hope Shines in Milan Cortina

The Olympic flame may have lit the skies over Milan and Cortina, but here at home in Berk, all eyes are on our crown prince, Hiccup Haddock, as he steps onto the world's stage as Berk's sole short track speed skater.

Hiccup, who carries the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders, is competing not just for personal glory but to bring home Berk's first ever Winter Olympic medal. Though the competition is fierce, and Hiccup's injury from 4 years ago still affect him, insiders say the young prince's agility and strategy on ice give him the best shot of any Berkian athlete at the Games this year.

Adding a bit of international Berkian pride, Astrid Hofferson, the reigning American figure skating world champion, is also on the Olympic roster. While representing the United States, Astrid has deep Berkian roots, her mother hails from our very own island. Many local fans are eagerly watching to see if the "Berk Connection" will shine on the ice.

Other hopefuls from Berk include:

Ruffnut and Tuffnut Thorston, competing as the mixed doubles curling team. Known for their… creative strategies, they have yet to impress the medal odds makers and are considered long shots for podium finishes.

Eret Eretson, our alpine skiing competitor, tackling the slopes with determination, though analysts predict a challenging course for the young skier and low chances of medaling.

While Berk's Winter Olympics team may be small, the spotlight is firmly on Hiccup Haddock, whose first short track events are set to begin in the coming days. Fans across the island are glued to broadcasts, cheering for our crown prince as he attempts what no Berkian has ever achieved before: Olympic glory.

As the Games officially kick off, all of Berk is rallying behind their athletes, especially Hiccup, the island's fastest hope for history.

Hiccup didn't know what was happening. One minute he was carrying on a conversation with beautiful U.S. figure skater Astrid Hofferson, and the next thing he knew they were locked in a fiercely passionate kiss that neither of them seemed willing to end. At one point Hiccup found himself feeling faint so he walked Astrid backwards to the wall of the dining hall so he could continue the kiss.

It was several minutes of the intense lip lock before the couple pulled back from the kiss breathless, their pupils wide, and their lips bruised. Thankfully nobody seemed to notice them and if they did then it was clear they didn't care.

"That was," Astrid started to say but it seemed like she didn't have the words to continue.

"I know," Hiccup said, unable to stop himself from pressing his lips to hers again, his arms wrapping around her shoulders.

Astrid pulled back a moment later taking sucking breaths of air and speaking. "So, I don't usually do this sort of thing but umm…do you want to continue this? Somewhere more private?"

Hiccup hesitated for a moment and swallowed hard, knowing exactly where her questioning was leading. He was Crown Prince of his country and not a womanizer in the least, and in fact he never even had a girlfriend in the past. For all intents and purposes, he was still very much a virgin. Still when he looked in Astrid's eyes, he could see her emotions laid out before him, and he could see she was nervous too. And that made him come to a rather quick decision.

"Yes, let's do that," Hiccup told her.

Astrid smiled at him in relief and took his hand and led him down the path through the quiet athlete's village until they reached the door of one of the buildings for the American athletes. They didn't speak on the way but the chemistry and tension between them were palpable. At one of the buildings Astrid scanned her credentials and opened the door and pulled Hiccup with her into one of the elevators. She pressed a button and then when the doors opened, she pushed Hiccup against the wall drawing him into a messy kiss that had them both gasping for air.

The door opened of the elevator minutes later and Astrid and Hiccup drew apart again and then Astrid led him down the hall to a door where she scanned her credentials again. The door opened and she pulled Hiccup inside.

Astrid's dorm room was very similar to the one that Hiccup shared with Eret. There were two beds, two dressers, and a desk, and an en-suite bathroom. Hiccup found himself grateful suddenly that the Milan Olympics had opted for normal beds instead of the infamous cardboard ones of past years.

"So, my roommate has not spent a single night in the dorm so I doubt we will be disturbed," Astrid said, slight redness on her cheeks. "She seems to think the Olympic Village is one big party to get laid at constantly."

"Lots of people think that," Hiccup admitted. "I had to leave my dorm earlier because my roommate Eret had a friend over."

"So um," Astrid said moving to sit on her bed looking like she was nervous suddenly. "I don't usually do this. I don't usually bring back men I barely know back to my room. I don't usually sleep around."

Hiccup went to Astrid and sat on the bed next to her. "I don't either, but you're beautiful and you know Berkian curse words, so I was intrigued," he admitted, cutting through the awkwardness. "I've never done this before either, I mean none of it, but I want it with you."

Astrid turned her head to look at him and smiled. "So, the Berkian prince is a virgin?"

"He is," Hiccup said blushing. "I am. So, I don't know the first thing about any of this."

Astrid leaned forward and kissed him gently. "This is a big moment if it's your first time. Are you sure?"

"I am," Hiccup said confidently kissing Astrid again passionately and trying to prove to her just how much he wanted it.

They kissed again for what seemed like hours but could've only been minutes. Astrid pushed Hiccup back on the bed and unzipped his tracksuit jacket and pushed it off him. She then shed her own jacket leaving her in just a workout top that put her breasts on full display.

"You can touch me. I won't break," Astrid told him and she moved to straddle Hiccup's waist but thankfully she didn't put any weight on his crotch. Hiccup could already feel his erection growing and straining in his pants.

Hiccup reached up with one hand and ran it softly down one of her breasts, and he was amazed since it was the first time he'd ever gotten so close to another woman.

Astrid pushed his hand down more on her breasts. "Please, I told you I won't break."

Hiccup took that encouragement and roughly grasped her entire breast in his hand enjoying the feeling of it. Then he rubbed her nipple feeling it harden under his fingers. Then he started to pay attention to her other breasts. He was captivated touching the beautiful woman through her clothes and Astrid groaned softly.

Astrid pushed up Hiccup's shirt and whistled low when she saw his chest. "You have abs," she said in surprise.

"I am an athlete you know," Hiccup complained, slightly offended.

"I didn't mean it like that," Astrid said. "I know you have muscles; you wouldn't be a speed skater if you didn't. But you hide a lot and it's no wonder people underestimate you because you are so skinny."

"My secret weapon," Hiccup grinned, his hands still all over Astrid's breasts through her shirt. She took mercy on him and reached up to pull her shirt off leaving her in a sports bra and then she finished pushing Hiccup's shirt up and off his body.

Astrid ran her hands softly along the muscles of Hiccup's torso and down his arms. It felt so good, so erotic just having her hands on him, that he let out a soft moan. He felt emboldened and started to undo the clasp of Astrid's sports bra which opened to reveal her soft milky breasts to his eyes for the first time.

"Beautiful," Hiccup uttered touching her breasts again, this time with no barriers. He ran his thumbs along her pebbled nipples causing Astrid to whimper.

"I think we need to move this along," Astrid said moving down to Hiccup's pants.

"Wait," Hiccup said suddenly, urgently grasping Astrid's hand before she touched his pants.

"What is it?" Astrid asked, kind of annoyed.

"I um," Hiccup started to say nervously. "Just uh don't be shocked by how messed up my left leg looks. I broke it a few years ago."

"Nothing wrong with scars," Astrid said with a smile, pushing down Hiccup's pants along with his boxers all in one fell swoop. Hiccup's fully alert erection sprang up in her face. Astrid gently ran a hand down Hiccup's scarred leg but saw the tense look on Hiccup's face so she focused on something else instead.

"Oh, isn't this pretty and big," Astrid said and she moved again so her face was directly in front of Hiccup's hard, leaking cock.

"Normally I would put a condom on you before trying this but since you told me you are a virgin, and I believe you I think I'm going to go for it," Astrid told him.

Hiccup wasn't exactly sure what she was talking about, but he found out in seconds when Astrid's hot mouth was suddenly taking his cock in.

"Astrid!" Hiccup cried out, moaning from the surprise and sheer pleasure at what she was doing. "A little warning would've been nice."

Astrid pulled off him and grinned, licking the shaft from base to tip making Hiccup shudder. "And what would be the fun in that?" she asked.

Astrid continued her ministrations and took his cock in her mouth again; sucking so hard on him Hiccup felt he was going to pass out. Then she moved her mouth up and down his cock like the way Hiccup did when he masturbated.

Hiccup moaned, his hands clenching the bed sheets and he felt the dizzying, incredible ecstasy of what Astrid was doing to him. Soon he felt he was close though and knew it wouldn't take much more for him.

"Astrid I'm gonna," Hiccup said urgently and then Astrid pulled back took her mouth off him and gave no more attention to his aching cock.

"What?" Hiccup said in dismay and confusion moving his hand to reach for his own cock, but Astrid slapped it away.

"You're a virgin. Which means you might not be able to get it up again tonight and I would rather not waste that," Astrid told him kindly. "It will be better this way, I promise. But now it's my turn."

Hiccup still didn't like how much his cock ached to be touched again but he was distracted when Astrid moved off the bed and she pulled off Hiccup's clothes and shoes that were bunched at his feet and then she removed the rest of her own clothing.

Hiccup's earlier assessment of Astrid's beauty felt like a slap in the face as he looked upon this goddess' body for the first time. He wanted to lick and suck on every single part of her body and Astrid moved to the bed again, lying next to him.

"Your turn," Astrid said again taking Hiccup's hand and leading it to her core, to her most sensitive spot. Hiccup pressed a finger inside the opening and rubbed it, moving his finger around. Astrid moaned and he could feel her wetness soaking his finger as he moved it further inside of her. He felt around finding a nub and when he rubbed his finger against it Astrid practically jumped off the bed as she moaned loudly.

"That's the spot huh?" Hiccup joked.

"It's the spot alright. Just don't keep playing with it or I'll be done in no time, and I want to get to the good stuff," Astrid breathlessly.

Hiccup moved his finger, eventually moving it in and out of her the way she had ran her fingers up and down her cock and she seemed to enjoy that, so Hiccup added a second finger which Astrid liked even more. Hiccup touched the nub inside her a couple more times and finally Astrid pulled his fingers out.

"Okay lover boy I think I'm ready," Astrid said moving off the bed and going to her roommate's bedside table which she had trouble opening because of how full it was.

"This thing is chock full of condoms, I think she was worried that there wouldn't be any in Italy or something. I don't think she will miss one, or two, or ten," Astrid joked as she grabbed one of the foil packets.

Astrid moved back to Hiccup. "How do you want to do this for your first time? Me on top? Or you?"

"You," Hiccup said since he wasn't entirely sure how good he would be at sex.

Astrid straddled Hiccup just below his crotch and she ripped opened the foil packet and spread it on Hiccup's hard cock. Hiccup groaned, sensitive from her touching him again after neglecting it for so long. Then she moved her body up, so her entrance was above Hiccup's pointed erection.

"Ready? You can still back out," Astrid asked, biting her lip in a way Hiccup found sensual.

"There is NO WAY I'm backing out now," Hiccup said firmly.

"Just checking," Astrid grinned at him and then she positioned herself and let herself be slowly impaled by Hiccup's large cock.

Hiccup moaned, the pressure of Astrid all around him was immense. He had to resist the urge to buck up inside her immediately and just take her.

"You good?" Astrid asked casually, breathing hard once she bottomed out, seated fully on his cock.

"Never better," Hiccup said through gritted teeth.

"I just need a minute," Astrid admitted. "It's been a while for me…and well you're big."

Hiccup felt a slight satisfaction at that since he never thought his assets were considered big, though he knew women usually liked that. He bit his lip; the urge to thrust up into Astrid was growing with each second. Astrid's face showed shock at first and then pain and then she seemed to relax and wiggled her hips causing them to moan simultaneously.

Astrid moved then lifting herself up on Hiccup's erection, so she was almost off it and then let herself fall on it again. Then she did it again, and again, faster and faster.

Hiccup was letting out a constant chorus of noises as he enjoyed every second of his first sexual experience with a woman. "Shit," he moaned as she let herself fall deeply onto his cock, it made him subconsciously thrust up in her at the same time which had Astrid crying out.

"Do that again," she begged and Hiccup did, thrusting up into her to match her downward thrusts on him. Hiccup gripped Astrid's hips helping her go up and down on his cock. The pace was unrelenting and got faster with each second. Hiccup could feel his control slipping, the pleasure spiraling.

"Close," he promised her, thrusting up especially hard into her.

Astrid's response was to keen and sob. "Hiccup!" she practically screamed and Hiccup thought she was so incredibly gorgeous in that moment that it took his breath away as she fell apart on his cock.

Hiccup felt Astrid's tightness on his cock grow even tighter, squeezing him so that he came seconds later. "Astrid!" he yelped before he found he couldn't speak anymore. He let loose into the condom and felt Astrid still moving half heartedly once, twice on his cock before her movement stilled completely.

Astrid and Hiccup looked at each other as they panted, catching their breaths from their combined orgasms. Minutes later Astrid moved, pulling herself off Hiccup weakly before taking the condom off him and disposing of it.

Hiccup lay there wondering how people ever got anything done in life when sex was an actual thing. It was incredible, it was earth shattering, and Hiccup had done it with almost a stranger. He wondered vaguely at the protocol for one night stands. Should he get up and leave now? Or wait till she fell asleep? Would he be able to see her again? Do that again with her? Because Hiccup didn't know how he would live without sex now.

Astrid answered the most pressing questions, and she moved to lie next to him once she disposed of the condom.

"For a virgin, you sure can please a woman," Astrid told him.

"I'm not a virgin anymore," Hiccup pointed out.

"No, you are definitely not," Astrid laughed, laying her head on Hiccup's chest. "Sleep skater boy, sleep."

Hiccup wasn't going to refuse a request like that.

Chapter Text

When Astrid Hofferson woke up hours later, she felt more relaxed than she had in days. And she felt so comfortable and warm that Astrid vaguely wondered how many hours she slept because it felt like the best sleep she'd had in ages.

She opened her eyes and then it all came back to her. Hiccup Haddock, the actual Crown Prince of Berk, and short track speed skater, was naked in her bed. If Astrid's Berkian Mom knew where her daughter was right now Astrid didn't know if she would be proud or scandalized. Astrid's head was still on his chest, and she could hear the fall and rise of his breathing and his slow heartbeat as he slept.

Astrid couldn't believe what happened the night before. While she always knew that people said the Olympic Village was where athletes have one night stands all the time, Astrid never thought she would be one of the ones doing it. Facts were she had sex with a near stranger, but granted it was easily the best sex she'd ever had in her life. But she also felt ashamed because she did not come to the Olympics to have a one night stand with a foreign prince no matter how big his cock was.

Astrid's sexual experience or rather inexperience up to that point had been one boyfriend in high school who she slept with a handful of times, but the sex had only ever been subpar, and they didn't last long as a couple. Nothing like what having sex with Hiccup had been like. She wasn't the type of girl that did this sort of thing, especially with people she hardly knew.

Still Astrid had to admit that the night before had been the best night of her life. Hiccup was not just handsome but if he was that good in bed as a virgin. If he was this good with no experience, then Astrid wondered how good he would be once he learned more. Astrid could almost feel herself getting wet just thinking about it. Stop it she told herself. This was a one time thing, and it will stay a one time thing.

Astrid's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her alarm clock going off reminding her that she had less than two hours to shower, eat breakfast, warm up, and get to practice. Hiccup groaned, mumbling in his sleep in a way that was adorable and then he opened his eyes.

Hiccup was very cute; Astrid had thought it the night before when she met him. Then she found out that he was downright sexy, in a way that made her drawn to him even more. He had such beautiful green eyes, and his messy reddish brown hair, and yes, his abs. She already loved his abs.

"Astrid?" Hiccup asked sleepily as she moved to get off him though she really wanted to stay.

"I got to get up. I have practice in a couple of hours," Astrid admitted wincing a little as she realized she was a bit sore from the intense lovemaking the night before. She hoped the hot shower would take the pain away or it would make jumps annoying today.

Then Astrid remembered that Hiccup too was an Olympic athlete and she turned to face him. "When do you to leave?"

"At eight," Hiccup said yawning as he sat up. "What time is it?"

"A little after six," Astrid told him pulling a robe on over her naked body and walking towards the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower."

Astrid hesitated, trying to think of what needed to be said now. She should say that Hiccup should be gone when she got out. She should tell him it was fun but it was a one time thing. But Astrid could also see the hopeful gleam in his eyes, how his messy hair fell across his face, and his gorgeous naked torso on full display for her to see.

"You can join me?"

Astrid didn't know if she thought it or said it but seconds later Hiccup was standing in front of her, kissing her deeply, while pulling open Astrid's robe.

"This isn't a good idea. This should've only been a one time thing," Astrid said when he pulled back from the kiss, feeling Hiccup's warm hands groping her body and him kissing the side of her face before sucking the place where her neck and collarbone met in a way that made her gasp.

"Then tell me to stop," Hiccup breathed so sexily that Astrid knew she was a goner.

"Don't ever stop," Astrid begged and Hiccup sat in front of her, on one of his knees, the left leg he stretched out to the side. Astrid wondered for a second what he was doing when she suddenly felt his warm tongue pushing past her entrance and right up inside of her.

Astrid cried out and pressed her hand against the wall for support. Where the hell had he learned this? "I thought you were a virgin yesterday," she gritted out between moans.

Hiccup pulled back licking his lips. "Oh, I was, but I'm a quick study. I figured if you could do this to me then I could do it to you."

Then Astrid was speechless and clung to the wall with one arm and Hiccup's hair with her other as he pleasured her with his mouth. He was absolutely a quick study, and his tongue found Astrid's clit sucking and pressing against it making Astrid practically scream from the pleasure as an orgasm hit her suddenly out of nowhere. Hiccup licked her through it, and her knees were suddenly weak but as she went to collapse Hiccup caught her in strong arms.

"We can't have you breaking an ankle before you compete," Hiccup said gently pulling her down on his lap as she regained her breath.

"So," Astrid said once she had fully come down from her orgasm, moving her hips side to side on Hiccup's lap making him groan, his erection had already rose to the occasion.

"So?" Hiccup said breathlessly looking at her.

"I was thinking originally that this should be a one time thing. I mean we are both athletes who have important jobs and we can't let ourselves be distracted," Astrid started to say but she got off Hiccup's lap on shaky legs and went to grab a condom. She returned and slid it on his straining cock. She moved to seat herself on Hiccup feeling his hard cock slide deep inside her still sore body. It felt amazing.

Astrid sat there not moving and getting used to the feeling of his huge cock filling her so well and Hiccup had the patience of a saint because he didn't move though he obviously was struggling not to. She could tell by the grimace on his face and the way he clenched her hips so tightly that Astrid knew he would leave bruises.

"But even though we are Olympians, it's well known that people fuck around in the village, I mean look at my roommate," Astrid said moving up in Hiccup's lap experimentally and then letting herself drop down. It felt so good, though Astrid was still sensitive from the orgasm Hiccup just gave her.

"Right, people fuck around in the village," Hiccup replied, his voice strained.

"And I'm not looking for a boyfriend right now at all," Astrid admitted casually as if Hiccup wasn't balls deep inside her. "I'm far too busy for a relationship."

"Okay, Hiccup said slightly awkwardly leaning down to kiss Astrid's neck.

"But I would like to fuck around. With you," Astrid said moaning softly. "I mean the Olympics are stressful. Sex is stress relieving."

"Makes sense," Hiccup said. "So, you want to be friend with benefits?"

"Nothing so fancy. More like fuck buddies. Leave the emotion out of it completely," Astrid said with a gasp as Hiccup suddenly stood not letting his body slip out of Astrid's. He lifted her very flexible legs to wrap around him and pressed her against the wall.

"Fuck buddies it is," Hiccup said holding Astrid against the wall as he suddenly started pistoning his cock to thrust in and out of Astrid hard. The change in angle made it so Astrid moaned loudly, practically screaming as Hiccup fucked her. It felt so good that Astrid knew her ex-boyfriend was absolutely atrocious at sex because Hiccup was on another level. How had she been the only women to know him intimately?

Astrid screamed so loudly someone probably would've thought she was dying as she was brought in minutes to a second earth shattering orgasm. Hiccup thrust in her half a dozen times more before he came into the condom and then they slipped down the wall to catch their breaths.

"My leg didn't like that, but it was worth it. I think I will like this fuck buddies thing," Hiccup said.

"Oh me too," Astrid said smiling at him with a sated smile. "Me too."

Hiccup showered with Astrid where they exchanged kisses and washed each other, hurried back to his dorm to change and then grabbed something quick from the dining hall on the way to the clinic. He met with the therapist who iced his leg, then they went through some exercises, and finished with heat on his leg. Hiccup arrived just on time for practice and walking into the locker room he saw just who was waiting for him and he stopped short.

It was Hiccup's coach, Dutch former gold medalist, Viggo Grimborn.

"Oh, hi Viggo," Hiccup said casually. "Beautiful day, am I right?"

"You know Hiccup, when I said you were to be here at nine, I meant that you would be changed, in your skates and on the rink warming up at eight. Did I have that wrong?" Viggo asked, his arms crossed.

"No Viggo," Hiccup sighed. "I'm sorry. I was…um delayed this morning."

"I don't want to hear excuses," Viggo said. "This is the Olympics if you were not aware. And you only just barely qualified to be here. Your competition all thinks you are a joke. That the Berkian prince is only here to drum up tourism for Berk. Is that why you are here?"

"No Viggo," Hiccup said biting his tongue to keep from lashing out.

"Why are you here?" Viggo asked glaring at him.

"To represent my country. To represent Berk," Hiccup said.

"Oh come now Hiccup, it's more than that. Why are you really here?"

"To win Berk's first medal," Hiccup said. "To show everyone that I belong here, that I'm not just here on a technicality. That my injury didn't kill my chances."

"Remember that Hiccup, remember why you are here. Maybe then you will be here and ready on time," Viggo said harshly. "Get ready and meet me on the ice."

Hiccup frowned as Viggo left. There were so many times he wanted to slug his coach right in his smug face, but Hiccup was loathe to admit that Viggo knew what he was doing. Viggo Grimborn had won gold three times in short track years ago and he was widely sought after for his coaching skills and Hiccup was fortunate enough to have been training with him since the age of ten.

Viggo had a way of antagonizing Hiccup to make him think outside the box, and that was one of the reasons Hiccup did as so good in races. Or at least he had before his injury. One thing Viggo did was that he was always making Hiccup study tapes of competition, study strategy, and how to have awareness on the track. Hiccup knew his skills as a skater were important, but race awareness was just as important.

When Viggo took on Hiccup as his only student when Hiccup was a child everyone complained that it was royal privilege. And maybe it had been, but Viggo saw that Hiccup was talented and had the mind to go further with the sport. And here Hiccup was nine years later and only a couple days away from his Olympic debut in short track.

Viggo put Hiccup through his paces, sprinting as fast as he could for four laps, then skating easily for two laps then sprinting for three more, followed by two more easy laps. Hiccup's legs were crying out by the time he was done but practice still wasn't over. Hiccup practiced weaving in and out of cones to practice his control and precision, and then it was followed by watching tapes and discussing it.

By the time Viggo released Hiccup for the day and Hiccup was recovering in an ice bath he was exhausted. The good thing was that Hiccup's first competition was the day after the next so he would have an easy training session the following day so that he wouldn't be too sore to compete.

Hiccup's phone buzzed and he had full plans to ignore it until he saw that it was from Astrid.

Astrid of course was the beautiful, vivacious, sexy figure skater who walked into Hiccup's life the previous night and rocked his world literally and figuratively. He had to admit he didn't love that Astrid didn't want to put a label on their relationship or lack thereof except for fuck buddies. But for now, Hiccup could live with that, it was much better than one night stand.

He opened the text from Astrid.

Astrid: Training has made me so stressed today. I could use something de-stressing tonight if you know what I mean. ;)

Hiccup: I know exactly what you mean, training was awful for me too. When and where?

Astrid: My place? 10?

Hiccup: See you then.
