Um… Yea. I know you must all hate me right now but I promise you I am trying my hardest. But, ehh. You don't want my excuses, you want the story.
"What am I going to do, Stormfly," Astrid was sitting next to her dragon, at the cove, as she had been for the last few hours. She just couldn't find the will to get up, or anything else for that matter. "I can't just avoid him. He'll know something is wrong if I do that, but I can't talk to him for long either."
The blonde groaned in frustration. Why does he have to be so damn clever! She thought to herself. I could just run away. For the week at least. The girl gave out another sigh. "That wouldn't work."
"What wouldn't work?" Startled Astrid looked to the voice and saw Hiccup landing with Toothless. Astrid didn't know what to say or do. How long had he been listening, Astrid said to herself, how much did I say out lout? She literally paled.
Hiccup immediately noticed and bent down to her level, putting the back of his hand on her forehead. "Are you okay, Astrid? You look sick?" His voice was ridden with concern, and Astrid was not looking forward to repeatedly lying to him.
She stood up as Stormfly went to go and play with Toothless. "No, I'm fine. Thanks for asking, though." Hiccup raised his eyebrows and stepped back a bit.
"Okay, did hell freeze over?" (A/N: I don't know if Vikings actually called it hell, so just bare with me.) Hiccup raised his hands in a mock surrender, however Astrid only looked at him. Confused.
"No," she said suspiciously. "Why do you think hell froze over?"
Hiccup just starred back at the girl in front of him. "Oh, because your always saying thank you to people." His usual sarcasm and witt slipping into the conversation.
She glared at the brown haired teen, "am I not allowed to say thank you." Astrid popped up her axe close to Hiccup's neck, causing his hands, that had just went back to his side, fly up once again.
"No, I never sad that," she put her axe down as he did his hands, "it's just a bit strange coming from you is all." They just looked at each other for a few minutes, Astrid glaring, while Hiccup just looked uncomfortable.
"Well?" Astrid asked after she stopped glaring at the poor boy.
"Well, what?" Hiccup responded.
"Why'd you come out here," she said it like it was the most obvious thing ever.
"Oh! Yeah, your parents want you home." Astrid paled again. Oh yeah, that's right. He'll be here soon. The slight confrontation with Hiccup had caused her to almost completely forget.
"Right. Let's go." She walked over to her dragon and hopped on. All the way, she kept trying to think of things to do and how she was going survive this week.
