A/N: Hello! So this is my first HTTYD fanfic, and it so happens to be my other OTP, Hiccstrid. This fic is a series of drabbles and prompts that were/ will be sent to me on my Tumblr or via Reviews here. :) Sorry if my writing isn't that good. I haven't written anything in a while. For those who have read my Jelsa fics, don't worry. I will be updating very soon. I was just enjoying my last few days of summer and worrying if my updates weren't going to live up to the wait.

Prompt: "Best friends that fall in love, kind of thing," sent by an anon on Tumblr.
Summary: Hiccup and Astrid have been best friends for years, but something changed. They became a little too intimate. Astrid wonders if there are actual feelings in what they were doing or is it really just another friends with benefits situation? Modern AU
Rated: T for implied sexy time. Nothing descriptive, though.
Maybe
It wasn't supposed to end up like this. She wasn't supposed to be in his house. In his room. On his bed. Beside him… How it happened, she never understood. Why it happened was simply because something sparked inside of them. At first she thought it was all lust, all just a friends-with-benefits type of thing. Time soon proved her wrong. She should have never agreed to go through with it, yet she felt at home. She felt safe in his arms. He was supposed to be her best friend. Just that. Her best friend.
She looked at his sleeping face, so peaceful. Biting her lip, she carefully took the side of the blanket and tried to slip out of bed. Suddenly, she felt something grab her wrist. She looked back at Hiccup. His eyes were still closed, but she knew he was awake.
"Hiccup," she quietly said his name.
"Mm?"
"Hiccup," she warned, wanting him to let go of her.
"Mm?"
"Hiccup."
"No," he replied, his eyes opening. "You were going to leave."
"Well, yeah. My parents will wonder where I've been."
He sat up, the blanket falling onto his lap. "It never bothered you before."
She sighed. It was true. She'd always find an excuse to tell her parents whenever this happened, and, somehow, they'd buy it. "Hiccup…"
He looked at her, an eyebrow raised. "What is it?" He asked. "Something's been on your mind."
"Well, yeah." She scooted beside him. "Hiccup, what are we doing?"
He didn't answer. He just raised a brow.
"We're supposed to be best friends. Just that. And now…"
"Do you regret it?"
She looked at him. He sounded different. He sounded… hurt. Doubtful. She searched her mind for an answer. "Not exactly."
"Good because I don't," he said. "Astrid, we've known each other since we were children."
"I know Hiccup, but-"
"I love you, Astrid."
Her eyes widened. "What?"
"I.. I always have," he said. "Aaaggh, o-okay. Astrid, you can leave if you want to. I.. I just sounded stupid there, an-"
Before he could say another word, her lips were on his. Her arms wrapped around his neck. She wasn't sure how to react. Her instinct just kicked in. How could she reply to that? She wasn't too sure what to do. Should she say she loves him, too. She wasn't even sure of her own feelings. It was all too complicated for her. She was used to preparing for everything. She didn't know why she wasn't prepared for what had just happened. Maybe she'll say it back… She didn't know, yet. At that moment, they were too busy to talk.
A/N: Send me requests/ prompts! :)
