{1 week later}
"Hey guys!" Hiccup beamed. Astrid flicked her eyebrows up and looked smug. "So, today we're both gonna do the best friend tag since...we felt like it," Hiccup informed as he and Astrid laughed for a little. "Yes, we know we're both technically not best friends anymore since we're dating but me and Astrid are still best friends in our world," Hiccup said. Astrid nodded, agreeing with him.
"Why aren't you talking?" Hiccup asked Astrid as he looked down at her, beside her on the couch in the basement.
Astrid just shrugged and answered, "I dunno."
Hiccup just nodded smugly and considered what she said. Hiccup looked back toward the viewers and said, "Alright, we have some questions from the best friend tag but also some questions from you guys."
Astrid nodded once again. Hiccup resisted the urge to groan and ask her why she's still not speaking. "Ok, let's start." Hiccup looked toward the laptop, where the questions are listed, and read one.
"How and when did you guys meet?" Hiccup read.
"We actually met in middle school and at lunch I found Hiccup alone, doing nothing, it was the first day, so I walked up to him and talked to him - it was awkward at first but we got used to it," Astrid explained.
"Actually, you got used to it," Hiccup pointed to her, relieved that she's speaking, "I was still a bit hesitant."
Astrid just nodded agreeing with what he said but implied, "Yea, I got used to it but not too much."
Hiccup nodded, agreeing with her, and read the next question, "What's your favorite memory together? Hmm."
"Uh...I think my favorite memory with Hiccup was when I met Hiccup and later on, became best friends," Astrid said.
Hiccup nodded and said, "Yea, I gotta say, that's my favorite too actually." Hiccup wrapped an arm around Astrid. "When our friendship began, best memory."
They both smiled at each other before Hiccup kissed her temple and read another question, "What's your second favorite memory?" Hiccup immediately answered, "When Astrid and I started going out."
"Yea, I think that's also my second favorite," Astrid said as she smiled.
Hiccup chuckled and moved onto the next question, "How would you describe each other in one word?"
"Stubborn."
"Scary."
"What?" Hiccup and Astrid both looked at each other before Astrid spoke, "I'm not scary!"
"And I'm not stubborn!" Hiccup exclaimed. They both sighed and groaned frustrated.
The video cuts to Hiccup reading another question, "What's your dream job?"
"Hmm, I'd have to say that my dream job is to be an electrician," Hiccup said as he looked at the viewers and glanced at Astrid.
"My dream job is to be a vet," Astrid said and added, "'Cause I love animals and I wanna help them." Astrid shrugged with her answer. Hiccup nodded and carried onto the next question, "How old were you when you met?"
"Uh...I'd say about eleven; right, Astrid?" Hiccup asked.
Astrid thought about it for a moment before shrugging and say, "Yea, yea, I'm pretty sure we were eleven."
The video cuts to Hiccup reading the next question, "What is something that annoys you about the other person?"
Hiccup thought about it as Astrid spoke, "The thing that's annoying about him is that he's too overprotective."
Hiccup looked toward Astrid and said, "I'm not overprotective!"
Astrid playfully scoffed, "Yes you are! You were in middle school and you even said so yourself before we went to sleep last time."
Hiccup sighed as he realized she's right. "Ok, well. The thing that annoys me about Astrid is nothing," Hiccup smiled, "She's perfect."
Astrid rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, trust me. In like a year or two I'll at least get annoying," Astrid paused, "even though I thought I was annoying anyway."
Hiccup smiled and kissed her on the lips.
The video cuts to Astrid reading the next question, "What's your favorite inside joke?"
Astrid turned her head to look at Hiccup.
Hiccup looked to the floor and thought about it. "Uh...I'm don't think me and Astrid have an inside joke," Hiccup said skeptically.
Astrid tried to remember if they have an inside joke or not but it seems like they don't so she said, "Yea, we don't."
Hiccup shrugged and moved onto the next question, "Who takes longer to get ready in the morning?"
Hiccup looked toward Astrid with a lazy eyebrow raised and said, "I'm pretty sure it's Astrid."
Astrid's mouth was agape and she exclaimed, "Well, it's not my fault that I'm a girl - and we take longer because of the hair!"
Hiccup chuckled and asked, "What does hair have to do with anything?"
"It has to do with something!"
"And what is that?" Hiccup rose his eyebrow higher, well, as high as it can go.
"Hmm, well, first of all, it occasionally gets tangled and us girls have to brush it, second of all it also gets in our face," Astrid explained.
Hiccup looked down and sighed in relief as he mumbled, "I'm glad I'm not a girl."
"Ow!" Hiccup rubbed his now sore bicep.
The video cuts to Hiccup reading the next question, "Favorite season?"
"Summer, for reasons," Astrid said.
"I'd say summer too." Hiccup sat back in the couch and moved onto the next question, "Favorite song?"
"Hmm...a lot of songs," Astrid said as she sat up straight. Hiccup chuckled and said, "Sing one then." Hiccup then turned to the viewers and added, "Also, it's hard to tell which one's my favorite."
Astrid looked at him and shrugged, responding to his command.
The video cuts to Astrid in the booth with a keyboard in front of her.
"What song are you gonna sing?" Hiccup eyed her keyboard, "And play."
Astrid just shrugged in response and said, "A video game song."
Hiccup rose an eyebrow, "What game?"
Astrid looked at him and answered, "The almighty, Skyrim."
Hiccup gasped dramatically and said, "Is it, The Dragonborn comes?"
Astrid nodded and smiled a bit at the viewers.
(SEARCH UP: Christina Grimmie ~ The Dragonborn Comes - Skyrim)
Our hero, our hero, claims a warrior's heart
I tell you, I tell you, the Dragonborn comes
With a voice wielding power of the ancient
Nord art
Believe, believe, the Dragonborn comes
It's an end to the evil, of all Skyrim's foes
Beware, beware, the Dragonborn comes
For the darkness has passed and the legend
Yet grows
You'll know, you'll know the Dragonborn's
come
Hiccup nodded his head and thought, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, good so far.
Whoa, whoa, whoaa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoaaa
Whoaaaa, whoa
Hiccup mentally sighed and thought, here it comes.
Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, Naal ok zin los vahriin
Wah dein, vokul, mahfaeraak ahst vaal ahrk fin norok
Paal graan, fod nust hon zindro zaan
Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal...
Astrid hit one more key before dropping her hands.
"I - I didn't know you could speak the Dragon Language that fluently! I can't even speak it!" Hiccup exclaimed
"Eh, it's pretty easy once you learn it," Astrid said calmly as she walked out of the booth and in front of the viewers.
The video cuts to Astrid and Hiccup back on the couch. "Alright, so that was one of my favorites," Astrid said to the viewers.
"I think it's mine too," Hiccup said as he leaned back on the couch. Astrid chuckled and read the next question, "If you've never met each other what would you be doing right now?"
Hiccup looked down and sighed sadly.
Astrid just gave Hiccup a sideways glance and looked down, sighing as well.
"I'd probably...be with Elsa," Astrid said softly as she slowly looked toward Hiccup.
Hiccup sighed again and quietly said, "I'd probably be lonely and dead."
Astrid widened her eyes and gasped. "Hiccup, don't say that!" Astrid harshly whispered. Hiccup kept his eyes downcast and muttered, "Well, it's true."
Astrid sighed and leaned forward and anxiously whispered in his ear, which sent shivers down his spine, "We'll talk after we're done."
Hiccup nodded.
The video cuts to Hiccup reading another question, "Astrid, heels or flats?"
"Neither," Astrid said instantly, "I choose sneakers."
Hiccup nodded and smiled as he kissed her cheek before reading another question, "Astrid, pants or dresses?"
Astrid didn't hesitate to say, "Pants."
Hiccup chuckled because he knew she would say that. "Favorite animal?" Hiccup read.
"All the animals, I guess," Astrid said as she smiled. Astrid then added, "But, if I had to only pick one animal," Astrid paused, "I'd say cats."
Hiccup chuckled and smiled as he said, "I agree."
The video cuts to Astrid reading the next question, "If your house was burning down, and your entire family," Astrid paused and took a deep breath before continuing, "and pets were sure to be okay, what would you save and why?"
Hiccup sensed her distress so he wrapped an arm around her.
"I'd save my phone, our laptop, our camera, and...that's it." Hiccup flicked an eyebrow up and had his lips pursed.
Astrid thought about before saying, "I'd do the same thing."
"Comedy, horror, or chick-flick?" Astrid read.
"Comedy and horror," Astrid said as Hiccup smiled.
"Comedy and horror, as well," Hiccup said.
"Blackberry or iPhone?" Hiccup read.
"iPhone. I don't know why, but, yea," Astrid said skeptically.
"iPhone, as well," Hiccup echoed.
"Favorite superhero movie?" Hiccup read as he looked down to Astrid.
Astrid raised her hand half up in the air and said, "The Amazing Spiderman, one and two." Astrid looked up at Hiccup. He shrugged with a smile and removed his arm that was around Astrid as he said, "Same."
Astrid narrowed her eyes at him and nodded slowly.
Astrid looked down at the laptop and read the question, "What is something weird that you eat?"
"Mine isn't exactly eating but I like to drink orange juice and chocolate milk combined," Astrid stated as she looked at the viewers and at Hiccup. Hiccup widened his eyes and said, "Oh my gods, I remember that day you tried it. I still can't believe you like it."
Astrid just laughed a bit and said, "It wasn't bad. I couldn't even taste the milk that much...nor the chocolate."
Hiccup rolled his eyes playfully and said, "But, still it was disgusting."
Astrid just shrugged and smiled smugly.
"I once ate raw fish. It was weird and disgusting so I'm not gonna do it again," Hiccup said grimacing as he remembered the time he ate the raw fish.
Astrid just laughed as she remembered.
The video cuts to Astrid saying, "Last question, what's your favorite TV show?" Astrid looked up from the laptop and at the same time as Hiccup she said, "iCarly."
They both looked at each other and laughed. "Yes. Yea, we know that that show ended but it was our favorite show of all time," Hiccup said with a smile on his face.
Astrid's laughter died down and slowly faded into chuckles as she said, "I love it."
Hiccup nodded agreeing with her.
The video cuts to Hiccup and Astrid sitting straightly as Astrid speaks, "Ok, guys! So this is the end of the video for today."
"We hope you guys enjoyed our best friend tag," Hiccup said as he smiled, along with Astrid.
Astrid chuckled and said, "Tomorrow we're going back to vlogging."
Hiccup nodded in agreement as he spoke up, "Alright, well, we had fun and we hope you did too as you watched us."
Astrid smiled and saluted along with Hiccup as she said, "See you all later and fly high."
Astrid moved forward and pressed the stop button on the camera. Astrid took the camera from the holder and walked up to the booth, sat down in the chair, turned on the laptop, and started uploading the video. Hiccup's behind her, knelt down on his knees and his hands are around the back of the chair on Astrid's thighs, playing with her waistband. Astrid was on another tab doing something else as she waited for the video to upload and she felt Hiccup play with her waistband so she said, "Hiccup stop that," without taking her eyes off the screen
"Stop what?" Hiccup asked with a teasing smile on his face. Astrid didn't look away from the screen but she moved her head to gesture to his hands and said, "That."
"Define, that," Hiccup said as he stretched her waistband with one of his hands and slid his fingertips inside, placing them over the waistband of her underwear. By now Astrid was blushing beet red and Hiccup smirked once he saw her face. Astrid tried to say something but her voice failed her so all that came out was a cracked squeak.
Hiccup smirked and leaned forward, placing his lips on her neck. As Hiccup was kissing her neck Astrid found her voice, "Hiccup," Astrid stopped to bite her lip to suppress a groan, "I-I'm busy." Astrid wasn't entirely busy but she needed an excuse to get out of whatever this is.
Hiccup smirked against her neck and asked, "Busy doing what?"
"Stuff," Astrid said, a bit relieved that Hiccup stopped kissing her neck to let her speak but still anxious when his lips didn't leave her neck, "like uploading the video and-and some other things like checking our stats and-" Astrid abruptly stopped and let out a strangled groan when Hiccup sucked on her pulse. Astrid continued though, "And...and the comments."
Hiccup hummed against her neck, "Mm," and trailed kisses from there to her jaw, her cheek, and to her lips. Astrid responded to the kiss by grabbing his hand that's remained on her thigh and move it off of her before grabbing his other hand, that's still halfway in her pants, and slowly pull it out. Hiccup was distracted enough because he didn't move, besides moving his lips.
Astrid broke the kiss and Hiccup pouted once he realized his hands were away from her. Astrid chuckled at his expression and reached up to caress and cheek and said, "Hiccup, I kind of am busy, even though I'm just waiting." Hiccup nodded shortly, understanding her.
"K," Hiccup said in a quiet voice. Astrid sighed and smiled a bit as she leaned forward and kissed him on the lips for a moment before pulling away. "Let's not go that far, Hiccup," Astrid said as she felt the corner of her mouth twitch when Hiccup looked a little disappointed. But he immediately perked up when she added, "At least, not yet."
Hiccup smiled and nodded, accepting her choice. Hiccup pecked her on the lips once more before walking up the stairs and say, "See you in bed!" just as the door closed.
Astrid chuckled and shook her head and waited so she could finish uploading and editing a bit. That was when Astrid remembered that she had to talk to Hiccup about something.
Astrid and Hiccup are in bed together now in their pajamas and there was silence until Astrid broke it, "Hiccup?"
"Yea?" Hiccup responded and he caressed her hands with his thumb as his arm's around her.
"Why'd you say that you would've been dead if we've never met each other?" Astrid asked.
Hiccup sighed and tightened his hold around her as he nuzzled his face in her hair. Hiccup didn't respond.
"Hiccup, answer me," Astrid said anxiously.
Hiccup took a deep breath before speaking, "I said that because it would probably be true."
Astrid turned around in his arms and by now they're nose to nose. "Don't say that, Hiccup. Just because you were bullied a lot, doesn't mean you'll be bullied forever."
Hiccup sighed and rested his forehead against hers and slowly kissed her on the lips before saying, "Thanks, I guess. It kinda made me feel better." Hiccup weakly smiled.
Astrid gave him a small smile before pecking him on the lips and saying, "Well, that's a good thing. Now, I wanna go to sleep so, goodnight."
Astrid placed her head on Hiccup's chest, as he held her close, and sniffed before getting herself more comfortable by placing her leg over Hiccup's. Hiccup smiled and kissed her on the head before whispering, "Goodnight."
Hiccup closed his own eyes and waited for darkness to overtake him.
HEY GUYS! I'm so happy that this chapter's finished. I'm so, so, so, so sorry that I didn't update yesterday. It's just that, you know how school is. I hate it. Well, I don't hate it but I hate the homework...and the work, a little bit. I did tell you guys I would upload daily but it's hard with school in the way. So...I hope you liked this one. I feel so accomplished with it. I have no idea why, but, I do. I feel like this is so much better than the last chapter. This feels long. It's 9:04 P.M. over here in California and I think I should go to bed...after I shower. But, my mom's in the shower so I can't yet.
Just so you guys know, I tried orange juice and chocolate milk combined today at lunch. It really wasn't bad. I couldn't taste the chocolate milk. The milk was so subtle while the orange juice was the same. My friend told me to do it. She was joking. I did it anyway. She was disgusted. I was satisfied. That's basically my life :D So...uh...I guess that's it. Also! Thanks for being honest on how the last chapter was. You guys said it didn't suck. I don't know. My opinion was that it sucked. Ok. Whatever.
Uh...I have more friends now! Yay..? I don't know if I should be happy or not but...eh? Ok. I'm gonna go now since I have school tomorrow and I ripped out the wrong page of math so I'm for sure gonna get an F for math tomorrow. :I Tomorrow's gonna be the first time my teacher will witness my first missed homework assignment. Ok, I said I was gonna go now. So...
ADIOS! AMIGOS AND AMIGAS! My back hurts. Ok I'm gone now. Oh, I improved on piano though. Ok, seriously, I'm out now.
ADIOS! Wait! By the way it was ZefronsAngel's idea for the best friend tag. Ok. Now I'm gone.
BYE! ADIOS! ALOHA! DRAGONS! BONJOUR! KONICHIWA! I HAVE NO IDEA IF THAT MEANS "BYE" BUT WHATEVER.
ADIOS! (Sorry for any mistakes...I'm gone)
