I am so exited! Hiccup comes home today... Ahhhhhh. I haven't seen him in two years and that is actually a lot longer than I thought it was. Especially without my best friend.
His dad was transferred to Norway for his job and wouldn't leave little 16 year old hiccup with me, my mom and my baby sister, Cami. I can see why, I'm not the best behaved with my constant detentions (I may or may not have slight anger issues).
Most people can't understand why we get along so well, I'm a jock and he's a nerd. By nerd, I mean if you asked for an explanation of one, you would probably describe Hiccup. 5'5", scrawny, weak, funny cut auburn hair, a shit ton of freckles, round kinda chubby face and big, bright, pretty green eyes. Oh and he was constantly beat up.
Where as I was popular, despite my lack of people skills. It helps being 5'7", well I'm now 5'8", skinny but muscular, golden blonde hair, clear skin and my favourite thing about me my blue eyes, or ocean as Snotlout likes to call them. Snotlout... Yuck.
The main reason no one understands is because many people haven't taken the time to get to know him, he has always been marked as awkward and weird. Really, he just has a different perspective on life and is always overlooked or underestimated. Knowing eachother since we were three is probably a factor as well.
Anyway back on track. It's currently 1:15, in the morning, and I'm heading to Hiccups. We used to sneak to each others houses ALL the time and climb in each others windows. It wasn't unusual for our parents to wake up and find an extra kid in the house.
I may or may not have an itty bitty crush on him, but that stays between you and me, got it.
OK, so I'm outside Hiccup's house now. I am so freaking nervous. Why? I don't get nervous, am I sick or something?
Ugh, this is annoying me. It doesn't help I haven't talked to him in a month. We could only talk once every month because of phone bills and being in another country and all that.
Your probably thinking, why not talk on Facebook and all that other electronic mumbo jumbo? Nope, too mainstream. Oh, and hiccups too sarcastic to talk to without hearing his voice.
Wait, his windows open. Aww, he must of known I would come. Am I that prediclable to him?
I climb up to Hiccup's open window and look inside... and there's PJs on his bed for me. He knew I'd come. Yup, he knows me way too well. Wait till tomorrow morning Hicc, I'll prove you wrong and just keep throwing surprises at you.
I climb in the window and look at hiccup all tucked up in bed. Knees brought up to his chest, pillow clutched over his head. Oof, my crush just slapped me in the face. He looks so cute, like a little puppy curled up and hiding his face with his pillows and arms (did I just say that?).
Ok, I'm going to stop looking, just put the PJs on and get in bed.
I do that and I'm out like a light before I know it.
Ugh, it's bright in hear. What time is it?
08:07
Wow, that's the earliest I woken up all summer and that's kind of unlike me. I'm a bit of an early bird.
I look beside me... And Hiccup is gone.
Why did he wake up so early? And where is he? Ooooo, a note.
I'm out with toothless (his huge, black Great Dane. I don't know how someone as tiny as Hiccup can handle him) and Dad's at work. Don't do anything stupid. Hicc xx
I'm kinda disappointed Hiccup isn't here, now I have to wait even longer to see him. I look around his room. It doesn't look the same because it's filled with boxes.
Oh well... looks like it's snooping time. Don't judge, he's my best friend, I can do what I want.
Ok... Clothes, boring. Books, yuck. Awards, now that's what I'm talking about.
Now when I opened this box I expected boring educational merit bull but no. It turns out little Hicc has really taken to sport. Ok, I knew he started some sort of biking but I didn't know he was actually good... wait no, freaking awesome at it. Not that I'm jealous or anything, you know. Especially since Hiccup is now, apparently, insanely smart AND athletically talented. This must be some joke he's pulling.
There's news paper clippings, medals and trophies, even the cute mini ones (there I go saying 'cute' again).
Yawn... I'm tiered again. Back to bed.
I'm drifting and drifting.
DING!
Damn, so close. But on the upside it looks like Hiccup forgot his phone.
Message from... an Elsa? Looks like there might be something he missed out the last time we talked. Nah. I also can't read it, too bad Hicc speaks fluent Norwegian and I don't. Did I mention before he was born in Norway and lived there until he was five AND spoke Norwegian before English? I guess not.
DING! Message from... a Jack. Wow, Hicc must be popular. That's new.
I'm so mad at him right now. Not getting to talk to him in a month and then leaving me alone to just wait if I wake up. He should watch out, I can kick-ass. That's why I'm black belt in karate.
Fact: Hiccup uses the same password for everything, no matter what.
Ok, there is nothing I can read on this thing. Aha, I found his photos photos.
Arg, this tells me nothing. All of these are pretty, Norwegian landscapes. Wait I take that back there's one picture.
And it's one of those stupid pictures of the bottom of people's faces. None of which are hiccup. How do I know this, you may ask? Well for starters, one is a girl with platinum blonde hair, one dude is really pale and has snake bites and the other dude doesn't have enough freckles and has one of those attractive, squared, angular jaw lines.
Oh well, I guess I'll just sleep till Hicc comes back.
And I'm going, I'm going, I'm gone.
Uch, what woke me up?
Yuck, what is licking my face?
Wait, there's something licking my face. Toothless. That means Hiccup is home.
Speaking of which, where is he?
I am just about to get up when the door opens. Yes, I get to see Hiccup after two long fu... That's not Hicc.
Holy crap, that is one sexy stranger. WAIT, what am I saying, there is an intruder. Ok, breathe.
The intruder is looking through one of the boxes and damn, does he have nice shoulders. Argh, don't let that distract you. I creep to the end of the bed and get ready to pounce. All I need to do is wait for him to stand, jump, knock him down and then pin him. Simple.
He's standing up. 3, 2, 1 and... Oh no mid-jump he turned around.
I crash into him... And he doesn't fall. What the hec? And now I have my legs wrapped around his waist and arms around his neck. Im trying not to think about the strong hands on my ass that are holding me up.
This is the point when I look at his face. He's hot. Has one of those attractive, squared, angular jaw, some freckles (like the dude in the picture) and pretty green eyes, just like Hiccups.
Holy shit, it's Hiccup. This is unexpected.
"Hey Astrid, this, um, isn't the welcome I was expecting." Then he laughs awkwardly. This is beyond awkward.
"Oh my gods, Hiccup. I'm so sorry. I didn't, you know, recognise you." I say and hiccup looks at me, confused.
"What?" He says, as if he doesn't know.
"Hahaha! Gods, it's like you don't know your hot. Please don't tell me I said that out loud." And I scrunch my eyes shut. This is now awkward AND embarrassing. It doesn't help that I have just realised I'm still have my limbs wrapped around him, pulled flush against him, all up in his face.
Oh and HIS HANDS ARE STILL ON MY ASS!
"Hahaha, I have never seen you blush before." AND NOW IM BLUSHING! I DONT BLUSH! "Anyways, I've been running and I'm hungry. So, wanna get dressed and we'll go out to get food?"
He takes the supportive hands off my butt and I start to fall. So I hold on tighter, which makes this even MORE awkward.
"Wow, Astrid, I know you missed me but... Really."
"Oh, right." I unwrap my legs and slowly drop them, expecting them to reach the floor. But no, Hiccup just has to be really tall now. And I'm now dangling... off of Hiccup.
Why do I keep making this worse for myself? He's usually the one that messes up and makes a fool of himself, not me.
I let go of his neck, dropping to the ground... And dragging my body against his. Gods, and I thought this couldn't get worse.
I step away, my face feels like it's about to be burned off. Is this what blushing feels like because I hate it.
I step back and I can see all of him now. He was rubbing his neck, his cheeks were pink and he was looking at me weirdly. Oh gods, I can make out a six-pack through his shirt. Look somewhere else, Astrid, gain your head again. He's your best friend for Oden's sake.
"So... Um... I'll leave you to change." He says, awkwardly. This is my fault, what is wrong with me?
"Um... Yeah." I say, still blushing. Have I turned into Bashful or something?
He turns and leaves, with toothless in trail and me staring at his endless, toned legs and ass. No, bad Astrid, just look away, shut the door and get changed.
It's only Hiccup. Sweet, innocent, sarcastic, awkward, clumsy, nerdy Hiccup.
But I know my stupid, little crush is going to kill me.
