I found out why this is better than my other stories! I have been listening to the halo 4 soundtrack. Statistics show that listening to wordless music helps the brain think. because you aren't trying to catch all the words.
I get on the bus by myself. Christian has already learned the subjects today. Plus he needed to talk to the top brass. I get off the bus and walk to the school.
"Hiccup!" Astrid shouts from behind me. I wait for her to catch up. We walk into the school together and into class. Receiving Snotlout's glare, I shudder. I sit down and the day goes off without much excitement. At the free time, Astrid and I are leaning on the wall.
"Must suck, huh?" she asks.
"What do you mean?" I return.
"Must suck to be related to Snotlout." She says. I nod.
"Hey Astrid!" A male voice sounds. Snotlout runs up to us and shoves me away. I fall down and hit my head on the wall, hard.
"Go away Snotlout." Astrid snarls. I get up only to fall down again. I can see Astrid is very angry. "I won't go out with you, you brainless ape! Your breath smells like a skunk!" Snotlout visibly snaps. Face red from anger, he lashes out and lands a hard punch on Astrid's head. She sinks to the ground with a cry.
Normal P.O.V
Snotlout walks up to Astrid and raises a fist. The air is shattered by the force of the punch, leaving two people surprised, in front of Snotlout, blocking his punch, is Hiccup. His eyes are a deadly cold stare, face is completely emotionless. Snotlout raises his fist again and lands a punch to Hiccup's gut. Hiccup lashes out with speed unmatched by any other person the other two people in that alley have seen. He lands a punch on Snotlout's gut and then face. Snotlout falls back and hits his head, resulting in him being out cold. Hiccup walks over to Astrid and offers a hand. She takes it.
"You okay?" he asks. She nods. A bruise is forming under her right eye. He takes her to the infirmary to get some ice for it.
"Thanks." She says.
"No problem." He returns. He gets on his bus and heads home. He gets off the bus and makes his way home, not seeing the furious Snotlout behind him. Hiccup hears heavy footsteps behind him, his eyes widen. The steps pattern, he has come to know many people's different pattern of how fast of slow they walk, is Snotlout's. Hiccup starts to run, fearing what may become of him if he doesn't. Snotlout follows at a faster speed. A meaty hand lands on hiccup's shoulder and drags him to a nearby alley, in that alley, he is tied up and gaged.
"You are going to be a good little wimp and watch everything I do." Snotlout whispers to him. He then tells his two friends to hide in the shadows. He takes hiccup's phone and texts Astrid. Telling her he needs help. Five minutes later, Astrid is seen running into the alley. The two boys jump out and stop her.
"Let me go you basterds." She shouts.
"Now why would we?" Snotlout asks. "Hold her down." The boys throw her to the ground and keep her there lying on her stomach. Hiccup then knows what he is doing, but Astrid says what he can't.
"No Snotlout, you are not raping me!" she shouts struggling. A click and a clinging is heard, and a fifty caliber case rolls to Snotlout's feet. They look up to see Christian, with a 50 cal. Sniper rifle. Said rifle is lazily aimed in Snotlout's direction.
"Now what in sane hell is going on here?" he asks sarcastically. The three boys get up and run, leaving our three main characters in the alley. He runs to Hiccup and cuts the ropes. Hiccup then runs to Astrid, pulls her up. Her face is streaming with tears. He pulls her into a tight hug.
"Shhh, it's okay. No one will hurt you we we can help it." He says. His shoulder is wet with her tears. He rubs the small of her back. He glances at Christian, who is at ready with sniper in hand, waiting just in case Snotlout comes back with a weapon. Astrid pulls away and does something both boys weren't expecting, she kisses him. Not on the cheek or nose, full on the lips. Hiccup closes his eyes and kisses her back. After they are done. "Come on. We need to get you home." He says.
"Thanks." She said to Christian, who in turn nodded politely. Hiccup and Astrid head to her house, hand in hand.
