Hiccup's P.O.V
"Hey Useless!" I heard the voice of my tormentor, Astrid Hofferson. I sighed heavily, before turning to look at her. She punched me in the chest, sending me to the floor, before giving me a kick to the ribs. She snickered before walking off with her cronies. I simply got up, dusted myself off, and carried on to my next class. "Hey Gobber!" I called out, entering my class, Forging. "'ello lad! take a seat!" He paused seeing my bruises. "Why don't ye tell or show 'em who yew really are, laddie? It would stop the beatings, and earn yew some friends." he told me. "Because, Gobber, I want people to like am=nd want to be my friend for who I am, not for what I've done in my life! I want real friends, ones that aren't after popularity." I explained to him for what seemed like the hundredth time. "Ok, ok, I get it. He said, raising his hands up in surrender.
~~~~~ after class ~~~~~
The student's slowly filed out of the class, or rather, forge converted into classroom, chatting about the WW2 end date celebration being held at the school. "Fishbone! I've got a bone to pick with you!" Suddenly I froze in my tracks. I stiffened, and then, fast as lightning, I darted to Astrid, throwing her to the ground, instead allowing the bullet that was shot to graze my back instead of her brain. I grabbed my gun from my boot, loaded it, took the safety off, before returning fire. I hit two of the shooters in the head, and hit one in the leg. That left two. I quickly scanned the area, shooting one more twice in the left leg, and just barely dodging a bullet. I hit the last shooter in between the eyes, before swiftly gathering my stuff and leaving the building. Behind me I could hear everyone break into excited chatter about what I had just done. I quickly climbed into my husband's car, before leaving the school grounds.
~~~~~ next day ~~~~~
I walked into the school only to be tripped by astrid as she said "Oops, sorry fish-" she cut off her sentence abruptly staring at something on my back. I took the opportunity to gather my things before walking off.
Astrid's P.O.V.
I tripped twiggy as he walked into the school greeting him with a fake "Oops, sorry fish-" I stopped abruptly as I saw muscle and a marine corps tattoo peeking out from the bottom of his shirt. Gods, I felt so bad about tripping him now. He was a veteran serving in World War II! Who knew?! What should I do? Risk my social status and say "thank you for your service, or keep on beating him up?
Hiccup's P.O.V.
My husband was a bit worried about the shooters, but I told him that they were regular ransom shooters. He said that he was going to surprise me for my birthday today, and I'm dying from curiosity. All he said was that it would happen anytime during the day. He's a pro at irritating me.
Flashback
"Hey babe. How was school?" asked my husband, Tallon Night-Haddock, as I got into the car. "It was ok. Had a bit of trouble with shooters but I took care of them." I replied. "Shooters? Hitmen, men looking for revenge, or what? Are you ok? Did they hit you?" he started asking me rapid-fire questions, in a concerned tone. "Don't worry, it was just regular ransom shooters. And a bullet lightly grazed my back, it's already stopped hurting!" We stopped at a red light, and he looked at me, an affectionate smile gracing his handsome features. "Alright, but I still want to take a look at it when we get home, ok?" "ok."
End Flashback
Astrid's P.O.V.
I arrived early to school,at least an hour,
I opened the fishbone's locker, only to find the following:
25 WW2 Medals hanging on the inside of the door and on the walls
A rifle hanging from the wall
A handgun hanging from the wall
A spare magazine and bullets again hanging from the wall
A bulletproof vest folded up on one of the shelves
A BDU folded up on the same shelf as the vest
A pair of boots on the floor
Spare space for his books and backpack (school supplies)
I couldn't believe my eyes! I quickly closed the door before darting off. Once at my locker, I realized that I had seen a black box that looked like a box for wedding rings. I got more and
more curious by the second. I wondered if he was married or planning to propose to some lucky woman. Wait, LUCKY?! GAHHHH, WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!
Hiccup's P.O.V.
~~~~~~ At Lunch ~~~~~~
"Hey Staff Sergeant Haddock." I heard a familiar voice say to me from behind. At this statement all activity in the yard stopped. Every single eye was on me as I whipped around, and exclaimed "Anderson?! Cody?! Theo?! Ritka?! Tarleto?! Viktor?! Ryan?!" (A/N names are from Nightstar_Fury's HTTYD military AU's) I didn't even bother to try to contain my shock and excitement as I raced towards them and hugged each of them as hard as I could, leaving them gasping for breath. "Hey little bro" said Anderson, with a smile on his face. Then one by one, the members of the strike squad came up to me and gave a hug, and a birthday gift. "What? Y-you didn't have to do this guys." I told them, stammering from happiness. "Yes we did, Haddock. Now, sit down, and open them!" Theo told me, firmly, all while smiling. I smiled even wider, if that was possible, before sitting down and opening up the first gift. It was a photo of the Alpha Platoon all together during BCT (Basic Combat Training). Everyone was smiling and laughing, hell, even our DS (Drill Sergeant), Major Alex Holgerson, was included! I gently placed the photo down on the ground, before moving on to the next one. This one was wrapped in Black, Grey, and dark grey, camo pattern wrapping paper, with a card stuck on top. The card said "Happy birthday sergeant! Signed, Theo" I carefully unwrapped it, planning on saving the wrapping paper, before staring in shock at the object inside. It was a flute! It had the most beautiful, intricate designs painstakingly carved into it, with depictions of norse gods, wildflowers, and so much more. I was shocked. I carefully assembled it, before playing "Norse Lullaby" by Eugene Fields on it. After I finished, I was sure that every single eye in the yard was on us. To be honest, I. Didn't. Freaking. Care. I moved onto the next one, which was a pair of new boots by Ryan. Then I got a map by Viktor, an artist's kit by Anderson, which was complete with canvases, a medal holder from Cody, and finally, a set of shot glasses, with all of the Strike Platoon's names on them. There was one for Cody, Anderson, Theo, Ryan, Viktor, Tarleto, and Ritka. All of the Strike Platoon chipped in to get me those.
"Well, did you like my little surprise?" I heard someone ask from behind me. As I turned around to jump into his arms, and kiss him senseless, before telling him yes, Astrid came up to him, and…
STARTED FLIRTING WITH HIM! MY HUSBAND!
To say I was angry would have been an understatement. I was downright FURIOUS! I shoved myself in front of Tallon and asked Astrid "Are you flirting with him, miss Hofferson?"
She replied "Why? What's it to you, fishbone?"
"He's my husband."
Once I said that, all activity in the yard stopped, yet again.
"WHAT?! HE'S GAY?!"
"No, I'm Bisexual. I can love both males and females." Tal told her in a matter-of-factly tone. "As am I. As far as I'm concerned, you can take your bullsh*t opinions and throw 'em in the trash" I told her as well.
Astrid's P.O.V.
Just you wait, fishbone. I'll reveal all of your military secrets and just how twiggy and pathetic you are tomorrow…
A/N
Oooohhhhh! Cliffhanger! Just what is Astrid up to now? Hell, even I don't know!
