*To clear up any confusion, the story will be completed. I will have two more chapters. This one and another one. Also I gave my sister food poisoning from some brownies I made. I can cook because cooking is an art. Baking is a science and I cannot bake. Also for that guest that keeps posing rude comments about Elena on my story, I do not care what you think. I made Elena because she was not Astrid. I don't hate Astrid anymore. I actually like her. She's nice and more mature than she was in the first movie. Also this is fiction if you don't like my version of fiction go find another story to criticize. I only want positive reviews. Also thank you so much for your positive review. That really lifted my spirts. Also I don't know what you mean about just creating Elena because she's different from Astrid. Of course she's different that's why I made her. I made her just for the sake of being a different person and something new and different than the Astrid and Hiccup stories out there because there are a lot and I like variety.*
(They are in there second year of college now)
Astrid's POV
A few months later…
I really like Eric. He's very cool. We hang out a lot more than usual and sometimes we are up so late talking or watching a movie that we spend the night at each other's places. I've gotten in trouble a few times because of that.
I think that I want to ask him out. He may be a few years older than me, but I'm almost 20 so it's legal.
I put down my textbook and journal and hop out of bed. My blue and yellow sheets are a bit messed up and I have clothes strewn across the floor. I step over the growing pile of dirty clothes and make my way to Eric's apartment. It turns out that Hic-Hunter, Fishlegs, and Eric all live in the same apartment building. Ruffnut is over Fishlegs' place again so I had the whole dorm to myself.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw that I looked a mess. I brushed my blonde hair into a neat ponytail and put on my brown headband and changed my shirt which had a few stains on it.
Once I was finished I checked myself out. I now had on black yoga pants and a blue and yellow long sleeved shirt on. I smiled and got my keys and put them in a black purse that I decided to bring last minute.
"On to ask the guy that I like to go out with me. What could go wrong?" I asked myself, nervously.
Eric's POV
(*Also if you didn't know already this is Eret son of Eret*)
I was going to ask Astrid out. She may be four years younger than me, but she's almost twenty so it's legal. I also bought her a bird. I was hoping that if she rejects me then she can at least keep the bird.
I don't know what compelled me to do this. I'm Eric ladies' man, doesn't care about feelings, and doesn't do relationships. But when she's around I get tingles down my spine and can't think straight. She's like this angel who just showed up one day.
I have to get this bird in its cage before I go to Astrid's place. She was a blue and yellow parrot who wouldn't keep quiet. She talked and talked about fish and chips and pot stickers.
"Shit!" I yelled when the stupid bird pooped on my head. "Now I have to take a shower."
"Shit!" The bird repeated. "Shit! Shit! Shit!"
I groaned and opened the cage door just in case the parrot wanted to go in her cage. I ran to the bathroom and threw off my clothes. I hopped into the shower and washed my black hair really well. Bird poop was disgusting. When I finished, I quickly went out of the shower and dried off.
I put on some boxers and went to my room where the bird was. She was sitting in her cage looking at me. I slowly walked to her silver cage. I shut the door quickly and she squawked, but didn't do anything else.
Then there was a knock on the door. I turned around and went to the door my hair still slightly damp.
I opened the door and saw Astrid. She looked at me and her cheeks went red. It was probably the cold though. She was avoiding my gaze. I looked down and saw my state of undress. My cheeks flared up and I quickly ran into my room.
I got dressed in black jeans and a blueish gray tank top sweatshirt.
(*you know the sleeveless sweatshirts with the strings if you don't you can look it up*)
I walked out of my room and saw Astrid's cheeks still red. I became concerned very quickly.
"Are you cold? I could get you a blanket." She glanced at my face then looked down.
"No. I just wanted to ask you something." She winced and I noticed how small her voice was. It was strange.
"Oh. I, um, I have something to ask you as well. I-I also have a gift for you." Did I fucking stutter? She's really getting to me. Astrid moves closer to me.
"So where are we going?" She smirks at my stutter. I glare at her and clear my throat.
"To the bedroom." She furrows her eyebrows and bites her lip. "What? You don't trust me?" She frowns then nods with determination. She takes my hand.
"Let's go." I look down and look at Astrid's face that was probably just as red as mine. I try not to notice how warm her hand is and the butterflies in my stomach.
I lead her to the bedroom door and let go of her hand. It looked like her face fell when I let go of her hand, but it must have been a trick of the light though because her face was void of any emotion. I went behind her and covered her eyes.
"Wha-?" She protested.
"Shh. You'll see."
"Hmm. Okay." I smiled in victory and lead her inside. I saw the bird in her cage with her eyes closed. I uncovered Astrid's eyes and she blinked a few times.
"Wha-? A bird!" I rolled my eyes.
"Congratulations, you identified a species." I said sarcastically. I picked a lot up from Hunter.
Astrid turned to me and punched me hard.
"Shit!" The bird exclaimed proudly. She puffed out her chest and squawked at me. I rubbed my arm and glared at her. Astrid glared right back.
"You should know better than to teach birds curse words." My eyes widened.
"Hey!" She cut me off though with another punch.
"Ow! Jeez Astrid." She looked ready to punch me again, but I held up my hands.
"Sorry! Sorry. Do you like her?" She claimed down and nodded her head.
"Yeah. She's an amazing bird. What's her name?"
"I don't know. How about you name her?" She looked shocked for a moment and sat down on the bed, deep in thought.
"How about… Bluebell?" I nodded, but the bird squawked angrily.
"Shit name! Shit name!" Astrid looked offended, but then she smiled.
"Stormfly?" The bird visibly calmed down and unruffled her feathers.
"Stormfly! Stormfly! Stormfly!" Astrid giggled and opened the cage before I could stop her.
"No!" I yelled as Stormfly flew towards Astrid. Then Stormfly settled herself down on Astrid's shoulder and I stopped.
"Do you want to go out with me?" Astrid blurted suddenly.
She looked horrified at first then she blushed heavily and started petting Stormfly. I was surprised. I didn't know that Astrid liked me. I smiled and sat next to Astrid on the bed.
"Do you want Stormfly?" I said calmly. Astrid's face reddened.
"What kind of answer is that? I asked you out and all you said was if I wanted the bird?" Astrid yelled at me.
She stood up and marched out the room. Stormfly flew after her. I ran my hand threw my hair and went after her.
"Yes!" Astrid stopped at the front door.
"What?" I blushed and walked close up to her so that she was trapped between me and the door.
"Yes. I would like to go out with you." Astrid looked flustered. She looked down put her hands behind her back. "You have nothing to say?" I said, smirking.
"Ow! You have to stop punching-!" Astrid punched me then kissed me. I leaned into the kiss and ended up pushed Astrid's head in to the door.
"Ow!" She winced and rubbed her head. I backed up a bit.
"Sorry." She smiled laughed quietly for a little bit. I joined in and we both ended in the same spot as before.
"So I can keep Stormfly?" Astrid asked quietly. I nodded and she hooked her arms around my neck. I hoisted her up so her face was level with mine.
"So I get a date with the famous Astrid Hofferson?" She snorted and buried her face in my neck. She nodded after a beat and I started to make my way to the bedroom. I made it and gently set her down on her back with me on top. I kissed her and she kissed me back with vigor. I started to pull her shirt up, but she stopped me.
"How about we take things slow?" I stopped and thought for a minute. I've never been stopped before. The girls usually want me to go faster usually. I looked down at Astrid and got up.
"How about that date, then?" She smiled and got up as well. We made our way to the car after putting Stormfly away. I think that this will be a great date.
Tuffnut's POV
It was the middle of the fifth round before my body gave out on me. I was so tired I couldn't even support myself anymore and I collapsed on Cami. We were both sweaty and breathing hard. Her hair came out of its braid a while ago.
"Come on Tuffy. Please. Let's finish strong. The faster we go the faster you get a break." I shook my head.
"No. I'm so tired. Give me a break." I wiped the sweat off my forehead and grabbed my shirt that was around my neck.
"Ugh. You are the worst. I need to get my shirt. Let's go back." I nodded and stopped leaning on Cami. We were running. We ran five miles already. We were in the woods in Berk. It was cold and Cami thought that it would have been a great day to go running in the woods, multiple times.
*What did you think I was talking about?*
We leaned on each other as we walked back to Cami's dorm. We were almost there when my newfound girlfriend stepped in a gopher hole and fell.
Camille grunted and closed her eyes tightly.
"What happened? Are you okay?" She nodded and tried to get up, but shouted out in pain and fell back down.
"I'm fine. Let's keep going." She said tersely. I shook my head and paced trying to think of a way to get her up. Then I remembered that once Ruff twisted her ankle in the woods and I had to wrap her ankle and carry her back home. I shook off my shirt and gently took off Cami's shoe.
"What are you doing?" She shrieked and tried to bat my hands away, but I ignored her. I wrapped her ankle tightly and pressed lightly on her ankle. She grimaced and closed her eyes.
"I guess Ruff can be helpful." I said under my breath. I frowned at the words. It was weird saying that.
I gathered my girlfriend in my arms and stood up.
"What are you doing, Timothy Thorsten?" She yelled.
"Hey no yelling please. You sprained your ankle and you can walk or else you'll injure it even more." She frowned.
"How do you know that?" I sighed and walked faster.
"Ruffnut makes me go to the hospital with her sometimes. I picked up a few things." She smiled at me and kissed my cheek. In a sweet gesture. I smiled and jogged to her building.
When we got inside I set her on the couch. Her roommate rushed over and started asking her what happened. I got frozen peas and elastic bandages. I sat next to her and put her foot on a pillow.
Her roommate was a girl with dark brown wavy hair. She had blue eyes and large frame glasses. She had a shirt that hung off her thin frame. As I studied her, she and Cami continued to talk. I quickly wrapped Cami's ankle and put the peas on her ankle. Her roommate turned to me and thanked me.
"Thank you so much for helping my sister. She is so clumsy. Who are you, again?" I was shocked for a moment.
"Um, no problem. I'm Tuff-um, Timothy Thorsten. Her boyfriend." I gave Camille a pointed look that she looked away from.
"Oh. Oh! Sorry, she doesn't tell me stuff. I'm Mackenzie Headey." I looked at her with a questioning look. "Ah, half-sister, I mean."
I nodded in understanding.
"Well it was nice to meet you Mackenzie." She gave me a hug and walked to the kitchen.
"Well see you tomorrow for our date." Cami said quietly.
"Bye Cam." I kissed her cheek and was starting to walk away when she pulled me back. She kissed me on the lips then let me go.
"Thank you. I'll see you tomorrow, Tuff." I smirked and patted her thigh.
"Ice your ankle every one or two hours. I'll get you crutches from my house." She looked at me strangely for a moment.
"Ruff and I get hurt a lot." She nodded and I walked out the door.
I wish that I brought a jacket.
*So. What do you think? Do you like? I think that this will be the second to last chapter. Thank you for reading! The next chapter will be five years in the future.*
