"Hey Hiccup. Come in let's play tag!" Said a young blond girl. A young Hiccup hopped up from the ground leaving his book laying there in the grass. He let out a smile as he jogged over to the girl.

"Okay. So who's it Astrid?" Hiccup asked as he adjusted his glasses to reduce the glare from the summer Sun.

Astrid put her index finger on her chin as if thinking making a "hmmm," sound. She then smiled deviously as she reached forward and took Hiccup's glasses right off his face. "You are!" She yelled laughing as she turned and ran away from the auburn haired boy.

"Hey Astrid! Give em' back! You know I need them!" Hiccup yelled also laughing as he ran after her.

"Lies Haddock. You can see just fine without them," she yelled back still running from her friend.

Hiccup continued to run after her. "Well true. But you know not very well. Come on Astrid. Be cool!"

"I'm very cool already Hiccup." She said looking back at him still running. "You gotta catch me."

The two continued to chase each other until eventually he caught her. "Gotcha," Hiccup said as he felt her tee shirt with one hand and had his other extended waiting for her to return his glasses.

"Alright Hic. Here you go." She placed said object into his hands. And watched as he put them back on and slumped to the ground catching his breath.

"You're way to fast Astrid," hiccup said laughing. As he played back in the grass.

"Yeah. Well it's beca..."

Hiccup was suddenly awoken by the annoying beeping of his alarm clock. He rubbed his forehead with the palm of his hand. He hasn't dreamt about Astrid in almost a year now. He looked over to his clock and hit the snooze button. He looked forward again still shell shocked from the dream. Well more of a memory. He remembered that day. It was when he was twelve, the day before his accident.

Astrid Hofferson. He hasn't seen her in over ten years. Not since that summer he spent at his grandparents house after his mother's death. He remembers meeting her. He was shy and she came waltzing up to him all confident. He liked that. She introduced herself. And they became friends. All summer the pair was inseparable. Sadly his summer ended early after the pair went "adventuring" and Hiccup fell in a deep pit after slipping. Hiccup wasn't the only thing to fall either. A large rock came down and crushed his lower left. Astrid went to go get help and from there his dad came and got him. He went to the hospital and went home, never going back there again. That made him sad because Hiccup felt a strong connection with her and It wasn't until years later that he realized that connection was love. And now she's destined to be the one that got away.

Hiccup swung his leg over the edge of the bed his stump closely following suit. He pleaded down and picked up the prosthetic off the floor and attatching it to his stump. He stood up and stretched his body as he felt a furry body rub up against his real leg. Hiccup looked down to see his cat rubbing up against him. Smiling, he bent over and picked up the animal. "Hey Toothless. How did you sleep?" He asked the black ball of fur only getting a soft meow in response. "That's what I thought," Hiccup said pretending to know what it meant as he put the feline down. Hiccup grabbed his glasses off his night stand putting them on as he walked over the window, opening the curtains, letting sunlight flood the room.

He looked out the window. Hiccup was now a twenty-three year old intern at the local hospital working in the amputee department. Hiccup smiled as he looked at the city he now called home. After taking in the new day, Hiccup turned around and got ready to start a day at the hospital.

LATER THAT DAY

Hiccup was walking home from his shift at the hospital when he came up to a red light and a no walking sign. The weather changed quite a bit while he was working. It was now grey and lightly raining. Hiccup didn't bring an umbrella today either so he just flipped up the hood on his brown hoodie. He tucked his hands into the front pockets of the hoodie as a cold gust of wind swept past him. Hiccup looked up at the sign only to notice it hadn't changed yet. He then looked across the street and his jaw nearly dropped. 'It can't be,' Hiccup thought. What he was looking at was a beautiful young woman about his age. Blond hair tied into a braid with the most beautiful blue eyes he's ever seen. The image a young Astrid flashed before his eyes as he looked at the girl. It was her. No doubt about it. Astrid Hofferson, his first love and girl he hasn't seen in over ten years, was standing across the street from him waiting to cross. 'No fucking way,' he thought as the light changed and she began to walk across coming. towards him.

Hiccup froze. He couldn't move. He was stating. Surely she wouldn't recognize him. There's no way she will. Hiccup felt his heart flip flop as she looked at him. She made a quick one second stop as she looked at him with a surprised look which quickly grew into a smile. She then walked right up to him and looked him up and down before speaking. "No way." She paused as her blue eyes connected to his green ones. "Hiccup."

"Holy shit. It is you Astrid." Hiccup said as he felt his smile grow ten times as big. Astrid then threw her arms around him, pulling him into a big hug. Hiccup then wrapped his arms around her returning the hug. "It's been forever Astrid," He said smiling,g as he hurried his face into her hair.

Soon, Astrid pulled away. "Jeez Hic, don't sound too dramatic. It's only been like ten years."

"Well I get the dramatic flair from my mom," he said as he shoved his hands into his pockets and looked her over. She's definitely gotten more womanly. She got curves in all the right places. She grew odour of the pudgy child face. Her eyes though. They're exactly the same as he remembers. "Wow Astrid. You, just, err, wow," Hiccup said with a chuckle slightly blushing.

Astrid noticed him checking her out and slightly blushes in response. She then looked him over again. "You don't look to bad your self either Hic," she said as her blush grew some more.

Hiccup and Astrid stood there for a minute awkwardly before hiccup decided to break the silence. "So uh Astrid. Wanna get a coffee or something?" He asked her while nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

Astrid smiled softly at his request. "Sure. Wanna go now? I just got off work."

Hiccup smiled as he heard her. "Yeah sure. I don't have anything else to do today." With that the two began to walk down the street. "So Astrid. What have you been up to these past few years?"

Astrid looked at the boy. "Well I'm still going to college. I'm going to,the college here. But I just got off my shift at Dragons Den. You know the Chinese restaurant," Astrid responded happily.

"I go there quite frequently. How come I haven't ever seen you there?" Hiccup asked looking at her.

"Well I just started two weeks ago and I'm part time." Astrid responded. "So what about you? What do you do?"

Hiccup smiled before answering. "Well I'm an intern up at the hospital. Been there for about six months now."

"Wow. That's impressive." Astrid said as she looked back forward. "What do you do there?"

Hiccup let out a small chuckle. "Well I work in the amputee department."

Astrid nodded then looked down to his leg. "So I was never told. What exactly happened to your leg?" She asked looking back up to him.

Hiccup let it a sigh. "Well it had to be amputated. I have a prosthetic though now," he said smiling at the girl.

"Oh. So is that why you work with amputees?" Astrid asked smiling at the boy.

Hiccup let out a chuckle as he looked up. "Yeah, I guess you could say it was a bit of my inspiration."

Soon they reached the coffee shop and took a seat by the window and ordered their beverages. While they sat there and drank their coffee, they shared small talk about what they've been doing in the recent years and even recalled flute fun times of that summer. After about an hour of talking Astrid finally spoke what was both weighing heavily on their minds. "To be honest I thought I'd never see you again hiccup."

Hiccup leaned back in his chair and let out a sigh. "Me too. I thought I lost a friend forever." Hiccup leaned back forward and looked her in the eyes smiling. "But. Here you are. Sitting right in front of me."

"Yeah," Astrid began. "It's pretty surreal."

Hiccup looked at Astrid's. He loved that smile. Hell, he loved it when he was a little kid. Hiccup Let out a sigh. 'Well, it's now or never,' he thought to himself before speaking. "I gotta be honest here Astrid. I've thought about you a lot since that day," he said before letting out another sigh. "And well back then," Hiccup began to blush. "I sorta had a bit of a crush on you."

Astrid began to blush at what Hiccup said. He had a crush on her? She almost couldn't believe it. "You had a crush on me?"

Hiccup began to rub his neck and grew even more red. "Well yeah. What's not to like. You were smart and fun to be around," Hiccup said as he put his arms back down on the table.

Astrid smiled at the thought. "Well do you, yah know, still have those feelings?" She asked nervously.

Hiccup let out a small laugh. Astrid was nervous. She looked cute. "Well I have thought about it a lot, and yeah. I do," Hiccup responded smiling at her. Astrid wasn't responding yet and it sort of unnerved Hiccup. "Well you know if you don..." Hiccup was cut off as Astrid stood and grabbed Hiccup by his collar pulling him into a kiss. Hiccup was a bit surprised at first but quickly realized this was actually happening. He was kissing Astrid Hofferson and he liked it. He began to kiss back.

After a few more seconds the kiss finally broke and the two were looking into each others eyes. Finally Astrid said something. "You know my apartment isn't to far away. And my roommate is out for the night," Astrid said with a grin.

Hiccup smiled back. "Sounds like fun." Hiccup then grabbed a hold of Astrid's hand and the two walked outside and back to Astrid's apartment. Hiccup had to admit, this was the last thing he expected when he woke up this morning.
