Chapter 4: God help
"Astrid!"
Astrid sighed as her name was called from the lungs of her best friend for the ninth time.
"Hiccup for fuck sake, shut up!" Hiccup laughed as Astrid's alter ego was coming out. Foul mouthed Astrid.
"Language, mind." Hiccup sighed and flopped down on to the purple beanbag in his room. Girls, he thought. He could give Astrid two days to get ready and she would still be late. Hiccup was going to meet the rest of the characters of 'My Gay Fantasy' and he was hopped up on coke cola. He was hyper to say the least.
Astrid was going crazy in her room. Her once sick and span living quarters had turned into a human pig stye. Clothes were splattered left and right but she had narrowed it down to four choices. She was a manager after all, she had to dress to impress. She couldn't decide whether to wear a casual blazer and heels or a sundress and sandals. There was also the choices of a hoodie and jeans and trainers or a tank top and a skirt. She gave a little grunt of frustration and by the time she had opened her eyes, Hiccup had swiped all the clothes off the smothered bed and had pulled out a red skater dress. Astrid said a silent thank you that her best friend had such a great sense of style.
"Wear this and let's go, we're already 15 minutes late and I dont want to get there when im 100 years old." Hiccups dry humor seething through his words. He would've dragged her out in her underware if he could but he worried about wrinkling his crisp navy Ralph Lauren shirt. He had spent 2 hours starching it yesterday night so it would look fresh and he was not about to go to his first acting job looking like a hobo.
"Are you sure? I mean I don't want to outshine anybody there, an-"
Before Astrid had the chance to complain any longer, Hiccup had already pulled her tank top over her head leaving her in her bra and pajama shorts. There was no awkwardness due to the fact that they had changed in the same room a number of times when they were younger and Hiccup was in no way intrested in her so Astrid didn't mind him as much.
Hiccup started pulling the dress over her head but her plait was in the way. Hiccup grunted in frustration and yanked the dress, successfully getting the dress on her but giving Astrid a throbbing head in the process.
"Can't you be more gentle?"
Hiccup smirked at her remark. "Then take out the plait. You look so much better with your hair out. "
Astrid gave a sarcastic smile before placing her size four feet into her black jellies and grabbing her small black satchel. She placed all her necessary things inside and gave Hiccup a small thumbs up.
"Ready."
Hiccup gave a little squeak of glee and raced to the front door of the two bedroom apartment, dragging his house mate with him by the elbow.
"You've got the car keys right? Okay meet me downstairs slow poke!"
Hiccup raced down the stairs and almost tripped from the sheer speed he was going at. When he reached the silver Toyota, he looked up to see his best friend still fumbling with the house keys.
"Astrid! Hurry up!" Hiccup shouted at the top of his lungs and a few neighbours had poked their heads out to see the commotion. "Why do the Gods hate me?" He aksed himself in a low mumble.
Astrid was startled by Hiccup's sudden outburst but not so much surprised. Hiccup was Hiccup after all. But in all this hustle and bustle, Astrid had dropped her keys causing Hiccup to start mumbling profanities under his breath.
Aster was getting sick and tired of living in such a loud neighbourhood. He slammed out of apartment number 15 and was all set to march down there and give that idiot a stern talking to. He tripped over a set of keys and went tumbling down onto the concrete dragging someone on top of him.
"Bloody hell!" Aster mumbled through a mouth full of strawberry blonde hair.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking." Astrid had gone a light shade of pink as she struggled to get off him. She blushed even harder as she drank in his handsome features. His blue-white hair accented his rough jawline and his spring green eyes stood out against his sun-kissed skin. In a word, perfect.
"Watch where you're going next time." To Astrid, even his condescending tone of voice made her knees week.
"Sorry." She mumbled and stepped aside as he stomped back into his apartment. He stopped short and picked up her keys.
"Forgetting something?" Astrid took her keys from his soft tanned palm and blushed an embarrassing crimson when their skin touched.
"Thanks." Astrid walked off quickly, mouthing 'sorry' to her distressed client.
Hiccup was having a nervous breakdown. They were now thirty minutes late and Hiccup felt like shooting someone. He glared as Astrid ran to her car and fumbled with the keys. They eventually got inside the car and drove off to the set.
The drive was slow as slow can be and it seemed every traffic light they came to turned red just for them. It was like hell and it wasnt helping that hiccup was whining in his seat like a really annoying cat. It wasnt any better on Hiccups end. What if he got there to late and he was replaced with a hotter guy? Or better yet replaced by an ugly guy?!
Arriving Hiccup rushed inside to see people chatting and eating and gave a small sigh of relief as no one noticed his tardiness. Astrid rushed in after him, her fade red with exhaustion. Hiccup gave her yet another dirty look and walked off to find Mr. Lee, the director.
"Ahh, Mr. Horrendous. We've been expecting you for..." he glanced at his wrist watch and raised a brow "The best part of an hour now."
Hiccup blushed and said nothing. How was he supposed explain the shenanigans of this morning? Better to just say he slept in like he used to say when he was late for school. Maybe even the cat ate my homework could be used. Mr. Lee gave a hearty chuckle and slapped Hiccup on the back.
"Never mind that boy, our other lead is also running late."
Hiccup nodded and continued walking with Mr. Lee. His heart fluttered at the thought of kissing another boy, even if it was just for show. He hadn't kissed anyone since Jack as he was to afraid of getting hurt so badlu. The text he got later on anouncing the name of the Tv show had been quite frank after all it was now named 'My Gay Fantasy'.
"Mr. Horrendous?! Mr. Horrendous?! Hiccup!" Mr. Lee tried to catch Hiccups atention and after the didnt work he waved a hand infront of his face snapping Hiccup out of his little mind rant.
"Oh sorry, Mr. Lee what were you saying?"
"I was just saying that I think Mr. Overland has arrived. Let's go say hi to your co-worker now shall we?"
Hiccup nodded idly as the cogs started turning in his head. Overland? That name sent a shived down his spine and his palms started to get sweaty, it couldnt be that overland right? Is that such a common surname? Jack was a footballer right? Not an aspiring actor. Hiccup hadn't necercerily been keeping tabs on him but he did hear someanything about him venturing into acting. Hic he ruthlessly shattered his heart. It took endless his about him on TV.
Hiccup never truly got over Jack no mater what he might say but his heart had healed after millions of ice cream tubs, chocolate and a dozen bottles of coke and not forgeting the warm comforting hugs from Astrid but he got over partly it nonetheless. Some part of him still still loved the white haired boy, now aged 24 but the other half of him still hated his guts.
The director stopped walking and looked at the white haired, nicly built young adult. Hiccup followed Mr. Lee's gaze to see his past lover. His hair was develished his thin tie losed and if he wasnt mistaken he swore he could see lipstick on Jack's pale lips.
The apology flowing out of Jack's mouth were blurred to Hiccup's ears. He did however, catch the last his words. Those words wrapped around Hiccup's heart and squeezed so hard, totally destroying him in the process.
"I"m so sorry my fiance held me up." He said proudly winking at his soon to be co-workers, who laughed and some even whistled.
Jack swiveled his eyes around the room. They locked on the familiar pair of emerald green eyes and he instantly recognised those eyes as Hiccups and his widening eyes stared deeper into a pair of already wide eyes.
God help.
