This is going to be a pretty long chapter but I'm putting a lot of work into it and I'm really excited about it. This also mentions why I ship Hiccstrid so much.
"Hey guys! Guess who's here to visit for a few days?" Tuffnut stepped aside to reveal Heather. The whole gang got up from the table to say hi. Snotlout tripped out of his seat trying to get to them."Hey babe! It's been way to long." Snotlout leaned on the table trying to be flirty but his arm slipped and he fell on the ground. Ruffnut glared at him and kicked him in a very sensitive place. Heather giggled and looked up at her friends. "You know he has a point. It's been too long. What have you guys been up to?"
Hiccup was nearly bouncing with excitement." We built dragon stable!" He squealed happily. So many of his idea's had become a reality and he was quite proud of it." Oh and me and Hiccup are together now." Astrid gestured to her and her boyfriend. "So no more flirting." She joked and play punched Heather in the arm. Although she was completely serious." Don't worry Astrid. I'm not much a flirty type." Astrid breathed a laugh. Was she kidding or something? "You know I'd love to see those dragon stables you mentioned." Heather grinned. All of the guys volunteered to show her the recently finished project.
But Hiccup and Astrid decided to show her together to avoid any unnessicary fighting.
"Here we are!" Astrid gestured to the stables. "Wow." Heather stared in awe at all the dragons. A cheerful blue nadder charged at the girl."Stormfly! Oh how have you been girl?" Stormfly licked the girls cheek. Astrid pouted slightly but forced a smile when Hiccup looked over at her." You know since Snoggletog is over now there are a bunch of baby dragons around too. Let me show you." Toothless leaned down for Hiccup to step on his back. He lifted the boy up to the second story of the stables. He held out his hand Astrid reached for it but Heather got it first.
Hiccup was too distracted to notice Astrid's reach." Hi boy." A tiny green night mare stumbled over to Hiccup. He scratched under the babies chin. "Aww. They're all so cute." Hiccup handed Heather the hatchling. Astrid chuckled nervously and walked back over to Stormfly." Stormfly slap me." The nadder cocked her head. Astrid huffed and hit herself in the head. "Stop it Astrid. You're better than this. Heather is a friend. Hiccup is loyal. Nothing is happening. And they're holding hands." Astrid climbed onto Toothlesses head causing the night fury to growl. "Don't leave me out of the fun guys." They weren't really holding hands. They just both happened to be petting the same baby Gronkle.
For the rest of the day Hiccup and Astrid showed Heather all the new things that Berk had to offer. And all day Astrid was being left out of every conversation." So Heather where are you staying?" Astrid put her hands on her hips and switched her weight to her left leg. Heather ran her fingers though her raven hair. "I though I'd stay with Hiccup and his dad like last time. My parents are coming to pick me up in a few days. I can stay with you tomorrow. We can catch up." Astrid grinned and turned away rolling her eyes.
"Um Hiccup may we talk?" Astrid grabbed her boyfriends arm and dragged him into the woods. Heather was left standing alone confused." She can't stay with you. It's inopropret. You're a guy and she's a girl. Not flirty my ass. She's been trying to seduce you all day." Hiccup tried to fight back a laugh. "What's so funny pretty boy." Hiccup moved his hand from his mouth." First of all thank you for calling me pretty. Never quite got that insult by the way. And Heather has not been trying to "seduce" me. You're just being jealous." Astrid breathed a humorless laugh and frowned." Yeah I'm supper jealous. Are you kidding me. That shirt is very revealing."
"She's wearing a heavy layered sweater and fur pants. On what planet is that revealing?" Astrid growled." On the planet where she's rubbing up against you every chance she gets." "Heather doesn't like me and I don't like her. I love you. Why can't you understand that?" Astrid's expression lightened. She knew it was stupid but she wanted to here what he had to say." Why do you love me then. She's obviously a much better match for you. We're complete opposites for Thors sake."
" I'm by no means romantic but I'm going to give it a shot. I love you because you are the first person to listen to me. No scratch that to want to listen to me. When I lost everything I had you. You pushed me to take back my life. I would have probably would have gone insane with grief if you weren't there. You put your faith in me which was something nobody else would have ever trusted me with. You've saved my life more times than I can count. You're the one who tells me when one of my ideas is stupid. We trust eachother. Or at least I trust you. But I guess you think I'm going to cheat on you so I guess it's a one way thing. I love you and I want you to know that."
Astrid's eyes brimmed with tears than she blinked away. "Heather can stay at your place. I'm sure she won't mind. I'm sorry that I don't ever listen to you. But I'll try." Astrid nodded and hugged him." Why am I always so jealous?" She complained to herself." It's okay. I gave you every reason to be jealous." He tried to set his head on top of hers. He was just almost tall enough." You know what. This is exactly why I love you." Astrid pulled away and smiled. "Why are you so perfect." Hiccup rolled his eyes. "I'm not perfect. But if I am it's because you make me."
Heather tapped her foot on the ground annoyed." Come on." She stormed in after them but darted behind a tree. The two were hugged and laughing at eachother. Heather smiled and backed away. Toothless was about to go in after them but Heather held out her hand." Just let them be for now." The night fury pouted. He wanted to go for his sun set flight." You want to go get some fish?" He perked up and licked Heather on the cheek thankfully. Her hair was now soaked with drool.
Kind of long update but a lot of Hiccstrid. This actually takes place a like two years before httyd 2 so I'm going to assume they have all the same awesome inventions set up around town. But this chapter explains why Hiccstrid is my OTP. They complete eachother. Hiccup needs Astrid's blunt advice and Astrid needs Hiccup's sensitivity. I love how they both work together to love eachother. It's just so cute and I love them so much. Thank's for reading and please review.
