Stormfly slammed the door in front of Hiccup's face forcing him to jump back a little. What just happened? Ohhhhh, right, he totally forgot, Astrid kissed him, told him to hang out for a while, and fell asleep on him. The night went pretty well other than getting pulverized by a pillow… Hiccup groaned as he started down the hall. His hand flew up to his head, trying to remember the night in a little more detail. He wasn't drunk, he wasn't out for a week, so why did he feel so light headed? Was this what happened when you have your first kiss? Do you develop some sort of sickness?

Of course not!

But then why did he feel like his stomach was turning inside out?

He let out a sigh as he pressed the button on the elevator to go down. Hiccup didn't really know if it was a good thing it was almost pasted curfew, or a bad thing. For starters he didn't have to worry about anyone catching him, for another, Toothless is probably worried sick about him. Oh crap… He reached into his back pocket, grabbing his phone and yanking it out.

'Dude you better not still be at Astrid's!' It read. 'Curfew started ten minutes ago, if you get spotted, your dead meat!'

Hiccup tried to calm himself as the doors shut. He was going to be ok, it's going to be ok. Then, the beeping began. He was now on the third floor, the second floor… the… the ground floor. His eyes quivered as he opened them to see a dark, abandoned, cafeteria. It was now or never, he didn't see any janitors, there weren't any cameras around…

His feet began to move on their own, across the lobby toads the boy's side. By the time he reached the door to the stairs he was tired and out of breath. Hiccup didn't have time to wait for the elevator, besides he's loft is on the second floor so it won't be a problem really. He heard the door slam behind him as he ran up the stairs. God what was he in, a mission impossible movie or something? This felt too hard, it felt like he already got caught!

The ground below him squeaked from his dirty old tennis shoes as he ran down the darkened hall. Hiccup could already spot the light shining from his and Toothless's room as he rounded the corner. At least he wasn't asleep yet…

He stopped at the boy's door, short of breath as he opened it. Thuggory was in there with Toothless, black eyes and obviously drunk as a lord.

"Finally!" He sputtered, trying to stand up but ending up just falling back on his ass.

"What happened to him?" Hiccup asked stiffly, trying not to laugh.

"He got in a fight with some of the Outcasts…" Toothless said crossing his arms and looking back to Thuggory. "…It's not a big deal though, you weren't there." Crap, he was mad…

"The Outcasts?" He asked in a scuff.

"That's what we call the kids that go to the public school down the way, Fairmont high, you know that ghetto old run down high school." Thugorry mumbled holding his head.

Toothless rolled his eyes. "Thug here insisted we walk around the outdoor mall and we rain into them. And unforchantly, they knew who I was."

"So what happened?" Hiccup muttered, plopping down next to them. Toothless shrugged.

"They jumped us man, almost took my wallet but Thuggory got it back. Beat up as many people he could and got a black eye for it."

Hiccup starred at his brother, motionless. This was unbelievable! That some people would actually have the nerve to do that! "You're going to have to report this you know!?"

"You seriously think that's a good idea Hiccup?! You know what gangs do if you report them, they come after you again, and if they can't do that… they ask their buddies!" Toothless was talking to him like he was a clueless child and Hiccup hated it!

"Well you have to do something!" He demanded, making Toothless let out a cold chuckle.

"You can do something by staying out of it, alright bud? Hiccup almost laughed… STAY OUT OF IT! Who does Toothless think he is? Of COURSE he isn't going to stay out of it! He's freaken Hiccup for crying out loud!

"Yeah sure…" He said in a sly chuckle.

"And what happened with you and Astrid?" Toothless said, glancing sideways at his younger brother. "You were over there for a looooonnnngggg tiiiimmmmeeee…"

There was that grin again, the one he couldn't wipe off his smug little face. What was it about Astrid that made him so… happy?

"Oh nothing in particular, we're getting along again if that's what you mean," Telling people about their little kiss probably wouldn't be the best idea yet, not until Astrid talks to him about it.

"You're lying!" Thuggory shouted, unaware of how loud his voice really was. "YOU SMELL LIKE GIRL DUDE!"

"Yes DUDE! Because I was in a girl's dorm room!" Hiccup said, mocking Thug's tone and leaning back further in his seat.

"Oh yeah…" He chuckles stupidly, letting his drunk self slide down to the grown and curl up into a ball "…I don't feel so good."

"Anyway," Toothless said, glairing down at his friend then back to his brother. "Something tells me you're not telling us something bro."

"Like what?" Hiccup snorted running his hands through his hair.

"I don't know… something significant if you're keeping it from me!"

Hiccup sighed. Telling Toothless probably won't be the best thing to do but he's his brother, they don't usually keep secrets. "Fine I'll tell you," He mumbled. "But you have to cover his ears."

Toothless glanced down at were Hiccup was looking to find his weird friend still intoxicated, looking nauseous on the floor. He laughed slightly as he bent down to place his hands over Thuggory's ears. "Ok, now tell me!" He insisted.

"Well, I guess something, somewhat big happened at Astrid's." Hiccup said, still mumbling a little letting his hand fall to his neck… Where she touched him.

"What happened?" Toothless asked, and Hiccup could detect the slight annoyance in his voice. This wasn't some little gossip party.

"She kissed me, alright."

"She did what now!?" Tooth asked raising an eye brow, Hiccup couldn't have just said she kissed him… right? Astrid Hofferson would never just go and kiss a hiccup!

"We were talking, and I told her she was pretty and all that other gushy stuff. She hugged me, and, I don't know. We ended up kissing." This felt like gossip… Hiccup felt like he was violating something that was supposed to be between him and Astrid. Maybe it was a dating thing. Were they dating now? He doesn't know how these things are supposed to go! Hiccup turned to his brother, why was he so silent? He was just sitting there with his mouth hanging wide open. "Umm, Toothless, you alright?"

"There is no way…" Toothless chuckled shaking his head.

"Fine, think what you want to but I know what really happened."

"And what, you want me to believe you just got kissed by the girl you have been crushing over the past month?" Hiccup opened his mouth to object, but Toothless stopped him with a snicker. "I have seen the way you look at her Hicc, don't even try to deny it."

Hiccup nodded stiffly, if Toothless knew who else did? Who still does?

"Can we talk about this tomorrow, it's like eleven and I really don't feel like staying up all night like yesterday…"

Tooth laughed, "Sure man, I'll go along with your ridicules lie for tonight." Hiccup was about to say something like how he wasn't lying, or how it really did happen, she really did kiss him. But his mind went black as his head plugged into his soft bottom bunk.

0-0-0-0-0

Sunday Astrid didn't talk to him, in any way. He called her once, texted her but she never answered. Now it was Monday, Hiccup was looking in the mirror at his below average face, and worrying just how awkward this will be. What if she finally releases how geeky his is, or how kissing him was completely insane. How the idea of them as an idiom was completely insane. Maybe she wanted him to call her… Maybe he was supost to be a 'man' or some bull shit like that.

Frankly he didn't understand girls, or relationships, or when a chick randomly kisses you. His head fell onto his refection as he let out a sigh. Did he even have to go to school today? What was the point? Oh right, it's almost the end of the first quarter. Tests, tests, tests, that all Hiccup had been hearing for the past week or two. When was this homework done, or what time will that essay need to be done. It was just all too stressful.

Before he could question if he was even going to school through his head again, he was out the bathroom door, and down the hall. Maybe Storm talked Astrid out of ever making the decision to kiss him… maybe she made her hate him. But, that's not like Stormy, she would never do something like that.

He pressed the elevator button.

Like sure, she could be annoying sometimes but never mean. Maybe he was just over thinking the whole thing! YEAH, that could be it. He was just driving himself mad, not Astrid. Something told him that when he got to first period, it was all going to be fine, she would wave at him or something and this whole thing would get better. It had to get better.

Once he got down to the ground floor, he stomped out of the elevator, almost jogging toads the front glass doors. This was all going to be fine, the awkwardness would be gone soon. He was about to make it out when he was suddenly stopped in his tracks

There was a firm, sweaty, hand on his shoulder…

"I expect you to do a double shift today after school boy!" Hiccup sighed in relief as he heard Gobber's voice.

"Thank god it's only you Gobber," He laughed turning to face the large man, "I thought you were Snotlout for a second-"

"-What were you doing in the girl's dorm, Hiccup?"

He looked at his coach, dry mouthed, and surprised. "How did you know that I…"

"You do relies that some of the security cameras are hidden in the lobby. Lucky enough for you I was in charge to watch them Saturday night because the security guard was out sick." Gobber said sternly in a hushed voice.

"So, does this mean I'm not in trouble?" Hiccup asked, a little shaken by the whole thing. What if Gobber tells his dad?

The large man laughed, "Of course you're in trouble Hiccup! With me though, not the school."

"What does that mean!?" Hiccup crossed his arms, "You're not going to tell anyone."

"Not if your work time gets doubled…" Goober said in his most sing-songy voice.

Hiccup chuckled, this was so like Gobber! Of course he would make him work for this.

"Fine, can I please go to school?" He asked, not really wanting to be late because he was making small-talk with the P.E. teacher.

"Hold on their boy!" Gobber shouted grabbing Hiccup's collar with his robotic hand. Man that thing is creepy. "I still want to know why you were in the girl's dorm at such a late hour. A little lady, I'm guessing?"

"And how is that any of your business?" Hiccup asked, his voice full of annoyance. He was going to be late now, no doubt about it.

"It doesn't have to be… But if it's not mine, I'm pretty sure it will be your dads."

Was that a threat?

"Ok! Fine! I was helping a friend study if you must know!" It was a lie, and by the looks of Gobber's expression, he could tell.

"Is that all that happened?" He asked, a little surprised.

"Yes Gobber… can I go now?"

"Yes, you can go," Gobber spat out, "I never knew a student who actually wanted to go to school."

"Well I'm no ordinary student," Hiccup smiled smugly over his shoulder as he opened the door.

"Just make sure your in my office during lunch, you will have to help me with a few things." Hiccup groaned. He was probably going to make him scrub the gum floor with a toothbrush or something. Apart of him wishes now that he really did get caught.

"Yes sir," He mumbled angrily as he headed out the door. Before he knew it he was running toads the main building of the school, he literally only had about a minute before the bell rings. He checked his watch again to make sure he was right, only thirty seconds now… Once he got in, he rushed down the hall to Algebra, ignoring the warnings of teachers yelling at him.

*Briiiinnnngggggggg*

It was too late as he walked inside the cold class room.

"Well, thank you for joining us Mr. Haddock," His witch for a teacher said, a little too happily, "Do you have a note?"

Hiccup's eyes trailed away from hers for a moment, he scanned the room looking for someone in particular. His heart started to race when he saw Astrid. She didn't look mad, or regretful, she was smirking at him.

"Hiccup?" The teacher asked trying to get him out of his trance.

"Wh- what… oh um…" He found himself mumbling words as he tried to look back at Mrs. Magola. "I'm sorry mam, I don't…"

"Well then, this is a probable isn't it?" Something about her devilish smile, and the hit of mischief in her eyes made him think she enjoyed this. She enjoyed humiliating him, from the first moment she set eyes on Hiccup she has been wanting to make him feel shitty, and here was her chance. "You have two strikes Hiccup, next one and you will be going to your father's office, do I make myself clear?"

"Yes…" He muttered, ducking his head low as he walked to his seat. Tuffnut tried not to laugh as he turned to his friend.

"Doesn't she win as your favorite teacher Hiccup?" He snickered.

"Shut it!" Hiccup snipped, glancing sideways at Tuff.

There was a slight giggle, and Hiccup's eyes widened. He looked over his shoulder at Astrid who was now looking at him. She grinned slightly before her gaze fell back on the work in front of her, and he smiled back.

Maybe this would get better…

0-0-0-0-0

They didn't really talk a lot since their kiss, and Astrid was starting to worry. All day he had been shy around her, and she didn't see him at lunch. She was starting to worry that Hiccup was ignoring her, but Hiccup wasn't that kind of guy. The only reason she didn't talk to him the other day is because she couldn't really find her phone until earlier that morning, then she felt like it was too late to call back…

Maybe he really was mad at her and just too nice to admit it.

Maybe she was overthinking everything like yesterday.

Astrid walked into Science with a sigh. Was she really the first one in? Maybe she was just excited that it was the last period of the day, and that she could talk to Hiccup in this class. Oh god… she's going to have to talk to him.

He smiled at her earlier, so he's probably not mad at her. But he will want to talk about what happened. Oh shit.

She rushed over to their table as sat down, quickly opening her text book. Wait, she never reads, she might as well wait till Hiccup comes in.

Her book closes.

But wait, if she is staring at him as he walks in like this morning, she will just look like a freak again.

The book is open again.

People start to come in and she panics. Distractions, she needs more distractions. She franticly opens her notebook to a black page and scribbles down some non-sense notes. More people come in, not one of them is Hiccup. This is fucking torture!

Dose her book look better with fewer pages open, or less. Hiccup will probably notice if her book is half way finished or not, and he knows she hates learning. Wait so, open, closed, open… open definitely. Notes or no notes? Probably no notes Hiccup would probably read them over for her.

She hates how much she likes that idea.

"What are you doing?" Heat seemed to rush toads her cheeks as she hears that sarcastic, nasally, voice. Why does Hiccup have to be so... so... well...

"Things…" What the fuck! Did she just say things? What happened to the whole 'working' concept. Astrid mumbled to herself as she closed the book.

"Um alright?" Hiccup said awkwardly as he sat next to her. "You ok?"

"Oh yeah, I'm just perfect, couldn't be better!" Why does he freak her out so much! She needs to keep it cool. "Why wouldn't I be?"

He let out this laugh as he placed a hand on his neck, basically making Astrid droll. He was also wearing those hipster glasses again, they must be for reading or something but god, they were hot! There's the word... he's hot. Hiccups hot.

"Because I haven't ever seen you study before!"

There was a pause…

"Well maybe I just decided to start studying more," She said in a huff, "Is that a problem?"

"Nooooooo…" God why couldn't she just talk to him? Hiccup feels like he can't even tell what this girl wants anymore, one day she kisses him, and then another it seems like she hates him. "Are we going to talk about what happened ever? Or are we just going to forget about the whole thing?"

It felt like someone just stabbed her in the back with a knife. What if people heard that? Is she in barest to have something secret and special with Hiccup?

"Of course we are going to talk about it Hiccup." Astrid sighed out, afraid to look at the boy.

"Hey, it's alright?" He said as his hand so causally slid under her jaw to pick up her chin, tilting her head so she could see him. Was this ok? Will people start to wonder what's going on? "We don't have to now but please, don't ignore me anymore ok? I missed you yesterday." Where did that come from? Where did he get the courage to say that he missed her!?

Her heart skipped a beat as he spoke to her with a gentile, soothing voice. Wondering eyes soon fell on the two of them though and Astrid regrettably had to pull back from his touch.

"Ok…" She said feeling a hot blaze oh her cheeks.

"You know something Ash?" Hiccup asked, placing his head in his hands. Starring compassionately at her.

"What?"

"You're cute when you blush at me…" Astrid tried her best not to roll her eyes, but a part of her sort of believed him, he was Hiccup… He liked her…

"You're cute in general." Astrid said glazing back up. Hiccup's eyes widened at her words, she thought he was cute. She kissed him! It still felt like the new profound information was still sinking in, like it was somehow not true. But her eyes said a different story. She was Astrid… She liked him…

"Alright class! Get Friday night's assignment out, we are grading it in two minutes!" Mr. Feader sang, clasping his hands as he made his entrance into the classroom.

"Hey I'll text you after class alright? Maybe we could hang out or something. But not right after school, Gobbers making me do some extra apprentice stuff." Hiccup said in a whisper, pulling out his homework that had messy hand writing all over it.

"Why is he making you do extra!?" Gobber usually works Hiccup dead.

"Because he caught me on camera coming out of the girl's side." Hiccup said smirking. "But don't worry, all I have to do is some extra work, and I get off with a warning."

"Well aren't you lucky?" Astrid said with a sarcastic slur, or course, mocking his voice. "Yeah, hanging out sounds good."

"Astrid! Hiccup! Quite down over there!" Feader said, glancing up from his computer.

There were a few snickers from the back but Astrid shut them up easily with a quick glare. Why couldn't People mind their own business? Oh well, they can't ruin what Hiccup and her have.

Even if they have to talk some things out…
