That next morning, I woke with Astrid in my arms. I smiled and planted a light kiss on her forehead. I still couldn't believe that we had just had sex. I wouldn't have believed it if we both weren't naked. I really couldn't have been happier. I took in all of her beauty. I did not know how I could have gotten so lucky. My blissful moment was interrupted when I realized where the sun was in the sky. I grabbed my pants and pulled my phone out and looked at the time.
"Damn it!" I yelled. Astrid jolted awake.
"What's happening?" She asked still half asleep.
"We slept in." I said putting my underwear on as fast I could. "It's two in the afternoon."
"Crap!" she said now more awake. "Where is my bra?"
"Over here." I said throwing it at her. "Where is my shirt?"
"Right here." she said throwing me my shirt.
You might what to wonder why we are rushing. Astrid and I had to back to the dorm by 5 pm. We only had 3 hours to get dressed, take down camp, clean our campsite, and get back to our dorms.
"I told you we should have written down 7 pm." Astrid said sliding her shirt over her head.
"5 pm was suppose to plenty of time." I said stepping out of the tent. "How would I know we would be having sex?!"
"Wait you didn't plan that?" Astrid asked.
"No I didn't plan..." I started. Then it hit me. "Crap I could have gotten you pregnant!"
"No you couldn't have." Astrid said running out fully clothed
"Yes I could have. I didn't have a condom!" I said still packing.
"No you couldn't have, I am on the pill." Astrid replied running into her tent.
"Wait, you are on birth control?" I said.
"Yes." she replied.
"What are you on birth control for?" I asked.
"It's to regulate my cycle!" Astrid replied.
"Why didn't you tell me that earlier?" I asked running back into my tent and rolling up my sleeping bag.
"Oh yeah I am going to come up to you and say: 'hey honey I bleed like a waterfall, so because of that I am birth control." Astrid replied. That was something that would be embarrassing to tell someone.
"Okay you have a point. From now on though, I don't care how weird, disgusting, or outrageous it is, I want no secrets!" I said starting to shove my remaining clothes in my bag.
"Deal." she replied.
We hurried and separated to run to our doors. I ran into my dorm and signed in. I looked at the clock to write the time. It was 4:59 pm.
"You got here just in time." said the Dean.
"Yeah no kidding." I sighed.
"Your dad is here." the dean said. "He is in the lobby." I walked into the lobby and saw my dad. He stood up and looked down at me.
"Son we need to talk." he growled. "Alone." I nodded and showed him to my room. I ushered him in.
"Please sit down." I said. My dad did so. "Dad my grades are high. I haven't been..."
"I am not here for your grades son." Dad replied. He actually looked nervous.
"What's going on?" I asked. He leaned forward and rubbed his hands together.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" My dad said.
"No I don't think there is anything." I replied.
"Now Hiccup, I know it's not easy to admit some of these things, but I need you to be honest." My dad started.
"Okay?" I said. "Um so what did I do?" Dad pulled out a paper and handed it to me. It was my credit card bill. "Since when has it been a big deal to spend money?"
"It isn't how much you spent, it's how you spent it." He said. I looked at the list. The dress, shoes, bracelet, and charm were on there. "Henry, do you... find... well... do you think that... Are you not attracted to... girls?"
"What!" I exclaimed. "You think I am gay?!" My dad nodded. "Dad! I'm not gay!"
"I am not going to be mad." my dad replied. "I just need to know."
"But I am not dad!" I said giving him back the bill. "I have a girlfriend!" My dad gave me a surprised look. "I know I didn't tell you, but I forgot and I am sorry."
"That explains a lot." my dad said. "So who is she?"
"Astrid Hofferson." I said. My dad nodded.
"Her family moved to Berk about 10 years ago right?" He asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
"I would like to meet her sometime." Dad said standing.
"Dad?" I said.
"Yes son?" He asked.
"Why didn't you ever... well... spend time with me." I asked. Dad sighed and turned toward me.
"You remind me of your mother." He replied. "It's hard to look at you because you look like her. I was wrong though and I am sorry." I was shocked to hear this. Stoick the Vast just admitted he was wrong and apologized. "I want to spend more time with you." He finished.
"Okay. I will be back for the summer. We can start then." I said. I know I may seem a little too forgiving, but I really wanted to spend time with my dad. My dad nodded and we left. Thornado was outside.
"I should probably get back to my case." Dad said as he mounted Thornado.
"Be careful dad." I said.
"I am a detective, it's an occupational hazard." my dad replied. I nodded. "I'll be back... probably."
"And I'll be here... maybe." I replied. Dad then took off into the sky and I went back toward the stables. Astrid was already there rinsing down Stormfly. I took my stuff off of Toothless and also started to hose him down.
"What took you so long?" Astrid asked.
"My dad came by to ask me a question." I replied. Astrid dried Stormfly off. "Here use this stuff." I said tossing my oil toward her. She looked at me as if I was nuts. "It's an oil that helps with the dry hide." I replied. Astrid open the lid and smelled it. "How are you doing?" I asked. She had been moving stiffly.
"I don't hurt as much, I just am getting used to the new feeling." She said. I shook my head.
"I am so sorry." I said. Astrid then punched me hard in the arm. "Ow!"
"If you apologize for having sex one more time I will pin you to the ground, rip off your shirt, and give you a purple nurple." Astrid said.
"What is that?" I asked. I truly thought it was something kinky. Astrid smiled.
"Let me show you." She said ripping my shirt off. I thought for sure then that it was a sex thing. Then she pinched and twisted my nipple.
"AHHHH!" I screamed. God that hurt! Astrid then smiled.
"That is a purple nurple." She said.
"I got it, I won't apologize for sex anymore." I said. Astrid smiled and rubbed her hands up and down my chest.
"Since we're here." she whispered. I grabbed Astrid's hands.
"Not here!" I said. "Not that I wouldn't loved to devour you, but not here. You deserve better than here."
"And a tent was better?" Astrid asked.
"It's cleaner than a stable floor." I said. "And now that I think of it, I find making love in a tent kinda romantic." Astrid smiled.
"I'll give you that one." she said standing up and handing my shirt back. "Maybe we should go camping more often." I stood up and also started smiling.
"Yeah we could do that. As long as I keep my grades up." I said. Astrid nodded and I walked her back to her dorm.
