I REALLY DO INTEND A WALKING HOME SCENE.
I APOLOGIZE IF THERE ARE NOT SO MUCH HICSTRID. I JUST DONT WANT TO RUSH EVERYTHING. THISNGS WILL GET BETTER IN THE NEXT. BELIEVE ME XD
HICCUP's P.O.V.
I walked with Astrid. I have nothing to say. I don't know what to start. I hope the silence is not bothering her. At this time, I would just put my earphones in my head. But that looks like I'm shutting her off, and I don't want to shut her off.
As we walk, she looks around the surroundings. Maybe it's her first time out of the house.
"Have you been around the neighbourhood?" I asked.
She looked at me with her blue eyes looking up. I haven't really realized I'm a little taller than her. She's only up to my chin
"Um, no... I haven't" she answered honestly and looking down as if it that fact brought her down
This made me sad. Another thing I know about Astrid is that. She loves exploring. I remembered a video from one of the behind the scenes from a movie she did. She went around the set. With the camera man trailing behind her.
"Do you want me to show you around?" I asked, I have doubts if she's in to it. After a day from school
"really?! HA! Ok! Let's go!" She jumped like a five year old girl as if she's going to the toy store.
I smiled at her she was skipping with excitement. Clearly like a child. "Ok, We'll go here" I said, turning right to a curb
ASTRID's P.O.V.
I didn't thought our walk home could have a little trip. Instead of going straight ahead . We turned right and walked further. And not far after. We got there
"There's a park and I don't know?!" I freaked. I get really happy in parks.
"Yes, I'm surprised you don't know" Hiccup said holding on to the straps of his bag
"c'mon let's go look around!" I demand pushing him to walk forth
"Okay, Okay" he sounded defeated.
We continued to walk down the path. There weren't much people around. We arrived by the lake. I saw some ducks and ducklings at the side and they were so adorable. We walked around the lake. And besides it there are some benches facing the lake where you can enjoy just by looking at it. There was also some paddle boat that you can rent at the lake. I remembered trying one once was very tiring.
We walked through a bridge crossing the lake. I enjoyed everything in this park. It's very calming and there are lots of trees and flowers and it made it very beautiful. The bridge we were walking on was made of wood. But the hand railing were made from metal with some artsy design when it goes to the bottom
Across the bridge was a massive space of green meadow with lots of gigantic trees to give you shade. These trees were the big thick bulky kind of tree and some of its roots are already popping out from below the ground
We walked further through the number of trees then stopped
"This. Is my favourite tree" Hiccup explained gesturing to a really big tree not far from the bridge we just walked from. After 5 trees, exactly. There standing, his favourite tree
"You always go here?" I asked
"Um, yeah. Sometimes When I'm bored during the weekends." He replied
"cool" I said. Looking around further the place
"There is also a tennis court over there" he pointed to the right, "And a playground right over there" He pointed to the other side
"Can we stay here for a moment. I still don't want to go home" I said. Starting to sit down under his favourite tree
"okay, If you want to.." he answered
"Are you going home now?" I asked. He was still standing
"Um. No. no I'm not, I wouldn't leave you here all alone" He stuttered. Taking his own seat not far in front of me.
I leaned on the trunk of the tree and I haven't felt like this for a long time. I pulled out my phone and continued to read that pdf of a book I downloaded.
HICCUP's P.O.V.
We sat under my favourite tree. She is busy on her phone. And I need to think of something to do. I couldn't just stare and look at her. But that wouldn't be hard I'm sure. But still. I need to think of something.
I thought of reading my book. But no, I'm kinda not in to reading right now. Then I thought of just doodling in my notebook
I brought it out. It has an old brown leather skin covering it. I pulled out a pencil and started. I have no idea what I should draw. Maybe just a tree. My favourite tree this time.
Sketching every detail as perfect as I can. Slowly. The image started to show up.
"Woa! You are so good!" exclaimed Astrid who I didn't notice now kneeling right beside me looking at my drawing
"Um…thanks" I answered shyly
"I draw some stuff too. But you are way good… Is that where you sketch" she asked
My soul dropped and I thought. Am I going to say yes. If I do, She might look at it. Then. She might see my attempted drawing of her.
"Um..yea" I answered
I realized what I said and smacked my face in the inside as she took it from my hands
She flipped and looked at every single page… I felt my heart beating loudly. Beads of sweat started to run down from my forehead to my cheeks. My hands began to freeze. I couldn't control my breath.
"This is really nice" she said. Closing it and giving it back to me.
I swear the inside of would have fainted. What would she say when she saw it, What's her reaction? Is she still going to talk to me.. or is she going to be freaked out
Trying to get my normal breathing back. "Hey, do you want to grab some drinks?" I asked.
Her face brightened up, "Sure, C'mon!"
We both stood up and went to a booth around the park that sells drinks. We only found one that sells lemonade.
"Here" I said. Giving her the lemonade that is placed in a plastic cup with a lid with a bendy straw
"My treat" I continued.
She looked at me, "Woah! Really? I'll pay you" she said.
"No! No, no It's on me" I insisted
She couldn't do anything about it, "Okay, maybe I'll pay you. Next time" she said
ASTRID's P.O.V.
"How does it feel to be.. you know, All popular" He asked
"You know. Kinda fun but stressing.. You are always in a schedule, and you need to be pleasing to the eyes of everybody.. like, you got to be presentable at all times" I explained. And I hoped I didn't gave him the wrong definition on how it feels to be popular
"Also you get mobbed. And it kinda stress you… sometimes," I finished
"Do some fans creep you out?" He asked.
"Yea. Few, I'm also weird mostly I understand them"
"What about fan gifts? Letters?" do they even arrive to you?" He asked again
"Yes. They do. Actually My mom is sending a bunch of them that started to flood back on our house" I explained
"Did you received all the stuff from me?" He asked
"What?!" I wanted to make sure I heard the right thing
"Um..I said, If you have received all the letters and gifts from me?" He repeated
"From you?" I asked.
"um… yes, Well. I- I'm kind of one of your fans…" He announced
"Kind of?" I asked again. Raising an eyebrow on him, " Are you kidding me?! Kind of?"
"Okay. Actually I'm one of your fans… the addicted ones…" He answered, whispering the last words
I let out a giggle. " You are not my fan Hiccup" I teased
"YES I AM!" he protested. Looking really irritated. "I PUT H's IN ALL MY LETTERS AND SOME OF MY GIFTS!"
"No, what I mean is… You are not my fan cause you are now my friend."
"Oh.., friends?, ok. Friends" He said
"Oh, look. Here's our house. Guess it's goodbye." I said. Walking right ahead of him
I turned to him and waved. And he waved back.
Entering the house. I saw Lisa sleeping on the couch. I quietly walked pass her. When I got in my room. I dropped my bag on the floor and went to the shelf to look at all the fan letters I kept. I have them all in a box. I flipped one by one. I remember seeing a letter with an H on in.
Right then. I saw it. I held it in my hand. On the white envelope. Is an "H" in a corner. I put it down on the floor and looked for more. The other one I saw is in a blue envelope this time. I placed it on the floor. Then I found another one. And another one. And another. And another, until I have all 23 of them laid out on the floor.
"I don't really remember what's in here" I whispered. Picking it all up. I put them all in a bundle and placed it on my table. "I'll read these again. Later" I said.
I dropped on my bed. And then later. I woke up and it's already 5:15
"I slept? Woah" I breathed
I went downstairs. "hey Astrid. Are you hungry?" Lisa asked once I stepped my foot down the kitchen
"Um, no… not yet," I answered
"good. I just called the pizza. It will be here in a few minutes" she said
"O…okay, I'll… just go to the backyard.
I've seen the backyard before. And it's creepy. But I think I should check it out again. I walked out and walked to the gigantic tree. I sat down and rested my head on it.
It was quiet. The wind is blowing softly hitting my face. I closed my eyes
No I'm never gonna leave you darling
No I'm never gonna go regardless
Everything inside of me, is leaving in your heartbeat
Even when all the lights are fading
Even then, if your hope was shaking
I'm here holding on
"What the?!" I popped my head bolt-ly to the sound of someone singing
"Is that?..." I kept listening
I will always be yours for ever and and more
For the push and the pull
I still drown in your love
And drink till I'm drunk
And all that I've done, is it ever enoughI'm hanging on a line here baby
I need more than ifs and maybes
We'll come down from the highest heights
Still searching for the reason why
And now I know what it's like,
Reaching from the other side
After all that I've done
"Is that?... Hiccup?" I wondered
I crept to the fence separating their backyard from us. I peeked my head up. It was him
I sat back down leaning on the fence. "He has a gorgeous voice" I whispered
My stomach started to feel weird. It always does whenever I hear a beautiful voice. Whenever I felt something weird is happening. Sometimes something bad. Or it just does it
I stood up again
"HEY HICCUP!"
WAaaaAAhh!
I surprised Hiccup making him scream like that. He almost threw his guitar out of his hands. I looked at him as he tried to breath
"Agh! Why would you do that?!" he whined.
"Hahaha! I'm sorry. You have a cool voice I didn't know you could sing that well" I commented
"Thanks" he replied
"You've been here for a while?" I asked.
"Um, yeah." He answered "You can come in our backyard if you want" He offered
"really? Thanks." I said. Opening the broken gate to their backyard.
Their backyard is much more nicer than us, Well now I know I'll fix ours. I sat not far from Hiccup.
"Hey," he started
"yep?" I asked.
"I know a secret! Want to find out?" he asked. Leaning in
"Why not?"
"Ok, C'mon let's go!" he said. Standing up and leaving his guitar. I looked at him. Weirdly. He stood me up pulling my hands. And then he walked leading into the forest
"What? That's the forest. Sorry. I'm not going there" I announced
"aw. C'mon. You'll be surprised promise" He said. Holding his right hand out to a promise
I sighed in defeat. Ok I trust him. I went and followed him, leading to the dark creepy woods
"What is your secret?" I asked. Walking over branches
"You'll see" he replied
We walked for five minutes. It's really getting darker and darker
"Hiccup I'm going back!" I announced
Turning to the direction where we came from. I walked. Not sure if he saw me trailing off already.
"Wait!" He caught up to me holding my wrist
"C'mon. please… were almost there" he pleaded
"okay"
We walked for a couple more distance. The wind started to blow unexpectedly. The leaves of the trees brush at each other. In a distance. I can see light
We pushed through bushes and bushes and there it revealed
"What?... This is Amazing Hiccup!" I exclaimed
"I know right. And you wanted to go back"
I couldn't bring my thoughts up together. How can there be an ocean just behind our house. After that creepy forest. How come… This is amazing I thought
"I love the ocean!" I said.
"I know"
I looked around. There is a tree on the side with a tire swing on it. I ran to it and sat. " I love this" the wind shuffling my hair wildly.
Hiccup came and started to push me while on the swing. "Thanks" I said. He nodded
I enjoyed the ride. But then I noticed. the sun was setting. I took out my phone and took a photo of it. This is so going to my Instagram. I thought. After I took a picture of it. I noticed the time it was already 6:35
"Hiccup, it's late. We better go back now" I said.
"Okay, C'mon then." We started to walk back. Looking back one last time at the beautiful scene. I thought of something.
"Wait!"
Hiccup turned just before we got back into the forest
"C'mon let's take a picture" I said
"What, no.. you go… and take a picture" then he didn't say anything. I looked at him. Continued looking at him. And still looking at him
"Okay fine!" he sighed
"YES!"
He stomped his way back to me. We took our position. I still made sure the background can be seen. With the beach behind of us. I took a picture
"Hey.. wait!, you didn't smile!" I protested after seeing what I got "One more time"
We then again took another. This time, he was smiling
"Thanks" I said
"Can we go back now?" He fumed
"Yes sir!" I teased giving him a salute
ANY REVIEWS? WAS IT GOOD? NO? ANY SUGGESTION? :)
