Hiccup: So does Astrid kiss me again in this one?
Astird: *punches Hiccup* That was for being a snob.
Hiccup: oww.......
Ruff and Tuff: Roll chapter two!
Toothless: *in dragon language* Monkey Chick does not own Dreamworks' How to Train Your Dragon, nor does she own the book. *attempt at smiling*
The morning was clear as day, and Hiccup had just landed from a great flight with Toothless. In entering the house, he found Astrid awake in the kitchen, cooking a delicious-smelling breakfast. Apparently the Night Fury had smelled the breakfast, too, for he flew down from his spot on the roof to see what was cooking. Astrid smiled gently at the two boys.
"Well don't just stand there, come in! Breakfast is done anyways."
Hiccup began to protest about why he should have cooked the breakfast, and why Astrid shouldn't be up, also trying to shoo Toothless out of the house, before Astrid calmly strode over and gave him a short but sweet kiss on the lips. She then set him down at the table and gave Toothless his breakfast to eat with Ember.
"Astrid, this really isn't nessescary, you know that, right?" Hiccup said, before digging in.
"I know, but I have to repay you in some way for letting me stay at your house." Astrid said, clearly tired, but still smiling.
Hiccup decided to wait until after eating breakfast to continue their "argument". Also because Astrid began to get up and shove food in his mouth. The breakfast consisted of an egg, a glass of orange juice, two strips of bacon, and two strawberry crepes. It didn't take long for the scrumptious food to be devoured, and dishes washed curtesy of Hiccup. As the teen finished the dishes he briefly glanced over his shoulder to see a tired and somewhat depressed Astrid.
The poor girl looked a mess; bags under her eyes, clothing muddy, hair sticking up everywhere..... this whole didn't-make-dragon-class-finals thing must have been really getting to her. She must have caught Hiccup staring at her, because she looked back at him and said, "What're you looking at?"
A brilliant plan popped suddenly into Hiccup's mind, and he smiled softly back at Astrid, cautiously taking her hand, but not without turning a cherry-tomato red blush. He believed he could see a tint of pink in Atrid's cheeks too, but he wasn't sure.
"Astrid, it looks like you've definitely been working hard for the past few days, so why don't I treat you? Go take a long, hot shower (just the thought of that made Hiccup blush) and I'll come back with some fresh clothes and supplies. After that I'll take you for a ride on Toothless, we'll have a picnic at the lake, and then we can--er, I mean, you can take a nap." Hiccup explained. After Astrid had (reluctantly) agreed, Hiccup and his Night Fury set out on finding clothes for Astrid.
Back at Hiccup's house: Astrid's P.O.V
'Wow. It was so nice of Hiccup to do these things for me.....I think I'm really starting to lik-- NO! NO ASTRID, YOU ARE NOT FALLING IN LOVE WITH HICCUP! Like he said, just take a long hot shower and he'll be back with my stuff.' I thought, as I began to run my bath in Hiccup's bathroom. As I waited for the water, I decided to go and search Hiccup's room, for fun. He wouldn't mind, right?
So I snuck quietly into his room, careful not to make any noise that would wake up or alarm Toothless or Ember. His room was a mess, which I knew because I woke up in here. I started looking at all of his sketches and drawings, and began to think of him as a really good artist. But, out of the corner of my eye I caught sight of an intricate drawing of a beautiful girl. After minutes of inspecting, I found that the drawing was of me! And scribbled at the bottom right hand corner of the page in messy handwriting was: August third--Saw Astrid, the most beautiful girl in the world training near the lake today.
I felt blood rushing into my cheeks, so i quickly set the picture down to examine later, or else the bath water would overflow. 'I'll be checking back later...' I thought to myself. 'There's more stuff inside his room, I know it...'
Berk's Clothing store: narrator's P.O.V
Hiccup, though with a little struggle, eventually found a few outfits for Astrid. The first outfit was a pair of forest green capris with an orchid-colored 1/2 sleeve shirt like Hiccup's, and a brown vest. The second outfit was just a duplicate of her normal outfit, but the shirt was brown and the skirt was navy blue. The third outfit was a tan-colored dress that went down to the knee. There were black leggings to go under it and a white long-sleeved to go under the short-sleeved dress. The last outfit was a pair of soft deer-skin pants and a white t-shirt for sleeping. Hiccup had been a little too shy to get her the "girl's essentials", but he did get a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a hair brush. Plus a new headband that was a little more colorful.
Hiccup's next stop was the food store, the only one in all of Berk, to get Astrid a nice picnic lunch. He'd planned on making sandwiches and bringing Astrid her favorite food in the whole world, peanutbutter ice-cream. Of course he'd always bring more food, but those two were definitely the main foods.
As Hiccup walked into the store, the clerk, Cragsnarl, greeted him.
"Well hello there Hiccup! What can I do for you today me boy?" The old viking said, showing rotton teeth in a creepy but sweet smile. His name may seem scary, but his personality definitely did not match. Next to Hiccup, Cragsnarl may have been the nicest viking in all of Berk. Then again, Hiccup isn't really a viking.
"Hi, Cragsnarl. I'm gonna need some bread, deli meat, goat cheese, and some strawberry ice cream."
Cragsnarl gave Hiccup the one-eyebrow look, "Strawberry ice cream and goat's cheese huh? Some fancy stuff. What'cha got planned, boy?"
"I'm--uh--taking my--girl--my friend girl out on---a--uh--picnic." Once again, Hiccup blushed furiously and fiddled with his hands. Cragsnarl gave a hearty laugh and patted Hiccup on the back, hard.
"Ah I always new there'd be a lucky lass for ya. Now lemme see what I have in stock." Cragsnarl said, before going into the inventory stock. A few moments later, he came back with all of Hiccup's needed items. Hiccup paid the clerk and head out for Toothless, who flew him home rapidly, to prepare the meal.
------
Upon arriving the house, Hiccup was surprised to find that Astrid was sitting on his bed, still wrapped in a towel only. Her damp blonde hair was down instead of in a braid, and her cerulean eyes were sparkling in the sunlight. Hiccup turned a deep shade of red, but walked slowly into the room anyways.
"H-Here are your clothes, Astrid. You can choose any outfit that you'd like, and just c-call me in when you need to, 'kay?" Hiccup stuttered out, leaving the bag of clothes on the floor before scurrying out of the room. As he left, Astrid smiled to herself, confident that the two would have a great time. She shuffled through the bag, looking at the outfits, and decided which one she liked best.
------
"Hiccup? I'm ready..." Astrid called as she stepped out of the room. Hiccup didn't take a moment to breathe, for he felt that a single breath may ruin the wonderful sight put before him.
