Hiccup stared down at his desk, thinking about the blonde haired woman he had meet this morning, sadness and regret on his face and he stared at the page stained with a red lipstick mark. He was snapped out of his trance as a large stack of slammed down onto his desk by his boss, who stared down at him through narrow eyes.
Hiccup stared at the pile sadly before looking up at the tall man, watching as he turned and walked back down the row of desks and back to his office. Hiccup sighed in defeat and was about to get to work when a sudden breeze from the open window next to him swept up the top page from the pile.
Hiccup gasp and jumped from his chair to grab it before it slipped outside, catching it between his fingers and sighed in relief before standing up straight and looked at the sheet, breathing out loudly and turned, about to go back to work, went something through the window caught his eye.
Letting the paper slip from his fingers, Hiccup rushed to the window, hands pressing against the clear glass as he stared out, wide eyed, through the window to the building across his office, the blonde haired beauty he had meet this morning standing in the office opposite.
Hiccup stared at her in amazement as she sat down near the open window of the building, starring ahead with a smile of her face.
Hiccup smiled and looked around for something, anything, to get her attention before he opened the window wider, leaning out of it, the sound of cars and people from the streets below ringing in his ears. Hiccup grinned and waved his arms above his head, desperately trying to grab the woman's attention.
The sound of a chair squeaking and a cough caused Hiccup to pull his head back inside and turn to see his boss look at him from his office through his open door, glaring at him in annoyance before going back to his work.
Hiccup huffed and looked back at the window, his hands still hanging in the air, before he sank back into his chair, his eyes never leaving the blonde as he did and placed his elbow on his deck, leaning on his closed fist, frowning to himself as he thought.
Then, after a moment, and idea appeared in his head; whipping his head down, Hiccup stared at the lipstick marked page before turned towards the stack of paper and grabbed the top sheet and placed it on his desk before smoothing it out. After it was smooth, Hiccup began to fold them paper rapidly; bringing in the corners and folding the paper as neatly as he could.
After a few seconds, Hiccup lifted the paper airplane, straightened it and looked ahead, checking his plane before slowly standing up out of his chair and moved towards the windows, paper plane ready at hand.
Taking a glance back at his boss and seeing him distracted but his own work, Hiccup took the opportunity and pushed the paper plane outside. It shot a few feet before shaking and fell, fluttering down to the street below. Leaning out his window, Hiccup watched as it fell before ducking back into his office with new found determination, grabbing another page before folding it and smoothing it out.
Back at his window, Hiccup pushed to plane forward, watching with a smile of hope as it glide smoothly towards the opposite building because it jagged and turned, hitting the concrete wall next to the window where Astrid sat before it fell onto the ledge below.
Hiccup stared down at it with a frown before turning back to his desk, using the top sheet of paper to make a new plane and span his chair to the window when his boss appeared in front of him, grabbed his chair so Hiccup faced him, his plane fall from his grasp, and slammed the window shut with a click before he slowly walked back to his office, glancing back at Hiccup with a glare before slipping back into his office.
Hiccup watched him go with wide eyes before he sighed in relief and began to make a new plane; the next paper airplane he throw dropped to quickly, swooping downwards and into a window a level below, gliding to a stop on top of a large man's desk. The man stared down at it before picking it up, a smile on his round face as he looked out for the source only to see Hiccup waving his arms and shaking his head.
Hiccup watched as the man glared and fisted the plane until it was a crumpled ball of paper and saw as the man threw out the window.
Hiccup made another plane, pushing out the window with determination and watched as it glided towards the blonde only to have a flock of birds smash into it. Hiccup watched as the bird, and his plane fell; with his arms open, Hiccup looked at where his plane fell with a face of disbelief and annoyance before sighing heavily and turned back to his decks.
Over and over again, Hiccup watch as each of his planes failed; hitting the wall around the window but never gaining the attention of the beautiful blonde. Once, one plane had swooped into the window successfully only for the woman to be distracted by a man at a desk, Hiccup watched as it fly behind her and fell neatly in the wastebasket before turning stiffly and banged his head against the window frame in pure frustration, his fists balled up in anger.
Hiccup tried again, planes hitting the window plane before falling down onto the ledge below that was already covered in dozens of planes from failed attempts, still failing to grab the woman's attention.
But then, as he reached out for another sheet of paper, his hand only meet metal, Hiccup looked down at his empty metal paper holding take had clattered to the floor with a loud cling before his eyes searched the top of his desk, releasing he was out of paper and every other worker's eyes were on him.
Hiccup glanced at the man next to him, who moved his pile of paper closer to him like a selfish child would before turning back to the window, watching with desperation as Astrid stood up. Next to him, the lipstick marked page fluttered, about to be swept away if not for Hiccup's hand, with smack down on it automatically.
Suddenly, Hiccup looked down at the paper as it fluttered under his hand and know he only had one more chance. Slowly, as carefully as he could, Hiccup folded the sheet into the best airplane he could before turning to the window, not caring if anyone saw what he was doing. Taking a breath, Hiccup prepared himself when a gush of wind stole the lipstick stained plane out of his hand. Hiccup gasped as his hands swiped to grab it only to meet thin air as the plane was pushed out into the open air. Hiccup shook his head and tried to reach out for it as it fluttered down.
His eyes snapped up to Astrid, catching a glance at her as she left the room before the click of his boss' door hit his ears and he turned, seeing his fellow workers, who were once watching him with interest, snap back to work, before he looked back outside, no longer caring if he got in trouble.
From his window, Hiccup could see as Astrid left the building below and walked into crowded, noisy street. Finding that it was his last chance; Hiccup turned to leave when he came face to face with his boss, who held a large stack of papers. Hiccup watched as his boss dropped the stack and walk away before he fell into his chair in defeat, staring ahead sadly.
As he watched his boss walk away, his brows turned into a frown, deciding it was not over. With his coworker's eyes watching him, Hiccup jumped from his chair, knocking the stack of paper as he did so, and ran; ran though the exit, ran through the halls and ran down the stairs, all the while thinking off Astrid.
Hiccup burst out into the street, looking in all directions for the woman before running forward, cars' brakes screeching in protest as Hiccup ran into the road, missing moving cars and blaring trucks to the other side of the street, panting as he looked for a certain blonde.
Turning in a full circle; Hiccup's hands found their way into his hair as he released he was too late before his eyes fell upon a paper airplane that lay lifeless on top of a mail box, the red lipstick mark reminding him of his failure. He paused before Hiccup dropped his arms and frowned at the plane before snatching it rough and flung it into the air. Hiccup didn't watch it this time, he stared down at his feet as he stomped his way down the street as his shoulders sagged in defeat as the plane soared above.
