Chapter 11: Resolution

Astrid woke up the following morning with a smile on her face. She couldn't wait to get to school with Hiccup. As she got dressed, she was about to put make up on so that she could look good for him, but then she remembered the type of guy Hiccup was. He was the non-judging, caring, funny, and smart kind of guy. He was the type of guy that every girl would want. The fact that he was hot was just an added bonus. Astrid decided she didn't need make up around Hiccup because nothing had changed between them. Well aside from the fact that they are dating now, Hiccup was still the same guy and he wouldn't care about her looks.

As she walked down the stairs, she made sure to avoid waking up her father. She did not want to ruin her good mood or her ankle. When she opened the door, she saw the black Camaro waiting by her mailbox. She smiled and climbed into the passenger seat.

"Hey," she said before giving him a quick peck on the lips. Despite its quickness, Astrid felt her lips get electrocuted.

"Hey," he said with his crooked grin. As he started driving down the street, they started to talk about their project.

"We should start filming today," he said, "I know that the film isn't due for another couple of weeks, but still. We should start."

Astrid bit her lip in excitement. She knew what he meant when he said that they should start filming. The last time they worked on the project, Astrid suggested that if he's going to be the groom and she's going to be the bride, they should kiss just to give the film some authenticity. Hiccup blushed when she suggested that since they hadn't started dating yet, but she started jumping inside when he agreed to the idea. She didn't think they would kiss until then.

"Okay, sure. We can start today."

After a few more minutes of silence, he asked, "D-Do you still want to do that kiss scene you suggested last time?"

Astrid giggled at how much he was blushing. She kissed him on the cheek whispering, "Of course. I wanted to do it then and now I want to do it so much more."

He grinned in response. After they had parked, Astrid started to get her things together. As she opened the door, she saw that Hiccup was hesitant in getting out.

"What's wrong?"

He gave her a look that let her know there was something bothering him.

"Nothing, it's just…"

"Just what?"

He met her gaze and said, "You don't have to be with me in school if you don't want to. I mean I totally understand since we are practically two different species, I won't-" He was cut off by a kiss with an eager tongue slipping into his mouth. After what seemed like an eternity, they finally parted for a breath.

Astrid cupped Hiccup's face in her hands and said, "I don't care what anyone thinks, Hiccup. They are all stupid not to see how great you are, and I want to show them the real you."

"But-" he started but was suddenly cut off.

"Shut up and get out of the car before I make you."

He sighed and got up. Astrid hated how he thought so lowly of himself. She hated herself for not seeing the real him earlier in her life. She wished that she could go back in time so that she could walk up to him a kiss him in the middle of the school.

As he hesitantly walked to her side, she grabbed his hand and intertwined their fingers. She pulled him as close to her as possible without him tripping all over her. As they entered the school, Astrid noticed how everyone's head turned in their direction and saw their jaws dropping at the site of their intertwined fingers. Hiccup loosened his grip so that Astrid could easily get out if she wanted to.

But she only tightened her hold on his hand. They walked over to Fish and Ruff who were chatting at the side of the hallway. Fish was the first to notice that they were hand in hand. He turned Ruff's head to them and Ruff only gave a sly grin at the site of the two lovebirds.

"What took you so long, Astrid?" she asked.

"What do you mean? It only took us fifteen minutes to get here," Astrid responded.

Ruff laughed before saying, "No I mean what took you so long to finally come to your senses and get what you wanted."

Hiccup blushed when Ruff gestured to him. "Haha, yeah," Hiccup said nervously while rubbing the back of his neck. Astrid nudged him a little to get his attention and smiled at him as if telling him that it's okay. He returned her smile with one of his own that made Astrid's heart flutter. She then kissed him on the lips to let the entire school know that he was hers. Ruff made a disgusted noise as their kiss deepened. Astrid held onto Hiccup as tight as she could as if he would leave any second. Not that he would. Not that he ever would. As they parted, Astrid could see that that kiss was all Hiccup needed. He gave her that toothy grin and squeezed her hand as he looked into her eyes.

The trance that they were pulled in was interrupted by a loud outburst. "WHAT THE FUCK!?" someone yelled. Astrid and Hiccup jumped at the sudden distraction only to see a furious Heather storming over to them. She stopped right in front of Hiccup with anger in her eyes.

"What the fuck, Hiccup? Did you not hear what I told you yesterday? She's using you!" Heather screamed.

"Sorry Heather, but you're wrong," Hiccup said as he looked down to Astrid who was still holding onto his hand for dear life.

Seeing what he was doing, Heather responded with, "Oh so what, she tells you that she loves you and now you suddenly believe her? Hiccup come on, people like Astrid are ruthless; they will do anything to be on top."

Hiccup didn't respond to her. Heather rolled her eyes in return.

"Get out of here Heather," Astrid said through gritted teeth.

Heather glared at Astrid before turning back to Hiccup. "Have you finished your project yet, Hiccup?"

Hiccup was about to say something but was cut off again by Heather. "No? That's what I thought. Once your done with that project, she will leave you. That slut only likes you for your grades and will go right back to Scott when she's done with you."

By that time, everyone in the hallway was starting to crowd around them in a circle. That was it. Astrid couldn't take it anymore. She was able to put up with Heather's bashing only to save Hiccup the embarrassment. But that was the last straw; no one talks about Astrid Hofferson like that. With her free hand, Astrid punched Heather right across the jaw. Heather collapsed on the floor with a hand on her jaw and shock in her eyes. She looked up to Hiccup with pleading eyes.

"You see what she does, Hiccup? She hurts people. Just look at what she did to me!"

Astrid rolled her eyes at the fact that Heather was still trying. But she felt a wave of fear overcome her when she felt Hiccup's hand leave hers. She looked over to him only to see him helping Heather off of the ground. Astrid felt defeated. This is it, she thought, I've lost him. When Heather was finally standing, Hiccup stepped back towards Astrid and wrapped his arm around her waist. Astrid looked up at him with bright eyes. She hadn't lost him after all.

Heather had a look of confusion on her face. She must have thought that Hiccup was helping her get up because he wanted to be with her when he was actually just a kind person.

"I'm sorry Heather, but Astrid is not you. She does not use people like you. She is so much better than that," he said. Astrid felt like crying tears of joy. He chose her over the girl that has been after him longer than she had. She looked at him with the biggest smile on her face. As Heather stormed off, Hiccup turned to meet Astrid's gaze.

"You are amazing," she said.

Hiccup simply kissed her in response before walking with her to their class.

If anyone told Astrid that she would be dating the kid that always sleeps next to her in her classes, she would have punched them square in the face. But now that she was resting her head on his shoulder during class work time, she felt as if nothing was wrong in the world. It was just him and her. He pushed her bangs to the side so that he could get a better view of her face.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" he asked. Astrid punched him in the ribs with a laugh.

"Ow what was that for?" he said as he rubbed his side.

Astrid shrugged. "I don't know."

Hiccup chuckled. "I'll never understand you and violence, Hofferson." Astrid punched him again.

As the bell rang, Hiccup and Astrid walked out of the classroom side by side, both beyond content. As they left the school to go to Astrid's softball practice, Astrid attempted to explain the rules to Hiccup.

"Okay, so if you catch the ball in the air, then the person is out?" he asked.

"Yep. As long as it doesn't bounce then it's an out."

"What if you catch the ball in the air after it bounces?"

"It doesn't work like that, babe. You can't just let the ball bounce and then catch it. It's against the rules," she said while giggling at his ignorance.

"What? That's dumb. So I'm guessing that you can't get someone out if you throw the ball at them?" he asked with sarcasm in his voice.

"Nope. That's not allowed either," she said.

"God how do you remember all these rules, woman?" he said with a laugh.

They were both laughing at his judgment on all the rules of softball when Scott interrupted them.

He gave Astrid that cocky smile of his before wedging himself between Astrid and Hiccup. Astrid felt like throwing up at the sudden change in smell. Hiccup smelled amazing. He smelled like a car shop mixed with soap whereas Scott was all B.O. She felt her lunch starting to come up her throat. Hiccup just stood there at the side with a frown on his face.

"Hey babe," Scott said as he placed his beefy arm around Astrid. She quickly twisted his wrist and pushed him away. She moved towards Hiccup. Relief washed over her as she felt her lunch go back into her stomach from the smell of Hiccup. God she loved that smell. She never wanted him to shower if that was his natural smell.

"What the hell Scott? We broke up a while ago!" she yelled.

He laughed in response. "Yeah I know you did. But when I heard that you were dating this nerd, I knew that something was wrong in your head. Did you get a concussion, babe? It's all right, I'll forgive you," he said with his arms held open. Astrid clenched her fists when he referred to Hiccup as a nerd. He was so much more than that.

"No, you dick. I did not get a concussion. As a matter of fact, I've never been more right in the head. I'm in love with Hiccup," she said as she grabbed Hiccup's hand. She saw his face brighten up when she said she was in love with him. Astrid felt her heart skip a beat when she saw his smile out of the corner of her eye.

Scott's face dropped when he saw her grab his hand. "Okay babe, now you're really freaking me out."

"Fuck off, Scott. There was never anything between us. Just get the hell out of here," she replied.

Scott scoffed and muttered something under his breath. He walked past Hiccup and hit is shoulder with his own before saying, "You might be with her now, but I will always be her first." Scott walked away with a cocky grin on his face. Astrid felt anger well up inside of her and before she knew it, Scott was on the ground. Her fist throbbed from two hard punches in the same day.

She looked back at Hiccup and she felt her heart break when she saw the sadness on his face. She wanted to let him know how sex with Scott had no meaning to her and how when the time came, she would feel as if she were having sex for the first time ever because with Hiccup, any action felt more significant than anything she had ever done with Scott.

She raised Hiccup's hand to her lips and kissed his knuckles. "Hiccup, I want you to know that anything and everything that I had with Scott doesn't even come close to what I have with you. I want you to know that every kiss we share sends jolts through my body that sex with that thing on the floor never could. I love you." She then kissed him on the lips.

"I supposed you have some expectations now," he said with a grin on his face. Astrid giggled and punched him in the arm.

"Don't even think about it, Haddock," she said as they walked down to the softball field. As Hiccup was getting ready to go to his car after Astrid got all her things on the field, she said, "Don't forget, my practice ends at seven. Then we can start filming. You better have something planned."

Hiccup gave her a devilish smile. "I already do."

With one last kiss, Hiccup walked away to his car. Astrid grinned as she saw her boyfriend wave to her as he got into his car. She would never admit this to anyone, but she was so excited for their date that she felt like screaming like a little girl. From behind her, she heard Ruffnut scoff at her.

"You two are such-Ow!" Ruffnut didn't even get to finish her sentence before Astrid hit her in the arm. "I think Hiccup is going to be in an abusive relationship with you."

Astrid laughed. "As if Fish isn't?"

"Eh, Fish can take it with all the fat on it."

"You just called your boyfriend fat!"

Ruff winked at her. "I like 'em big."

Astrid rolled her eyes as they made their way to their coach.
