"You are truly unpredictable!" Hiccup said as soon as the had the flat to themselves. "Aye, I know" She grinned to herself slowly as she reached up for some towels. She hugged one to herself then carefully wrapped one round Hiccup. "So what did you want to talk to me about?" Merida waited for a couple of seconds, left the room and came back again. "Let's take this meeting to ma bedroom."
Hiccup had never ever been in a girl's room before, at least not at uni. He was shocked when he walked in. It was dark and moody with Celtic material lining the walls and mobiles of bears and horses hung from the ceiling. Covering one end of the wall was a massive tapestry of a red haired girl holding the hands of a bear. It certainly was an odd taste but it suited Merida so well. In one corner of the room was her bed and opposite it a dark oak wardrobe with similar carvings on to the wall hangings. Leaning on the wardrobe was a bow? A bow and a sheath of arrows.
Hiccup dared not ask so he just ruffled his hair with his towel. "Do mind if I quickly change? It's just I'm soaked to the skin." Merida smiled and grabbed a bundle of clothes. She went out the room and quickly changed into her baggy top and pulled on some casual leggings. She opened the door again to reveal Hiccup pulling his top! "Hiccup?" He looked pleased with himself, behind his dorky looking clothes was a muscular young man. "….Hiccup….." Merida hadn't expected such a thing. "Merida? I was just taken my shirt off and leaving it to dry on the radiator…hope that's ok?" Merida blinked, shell-shocked, her jaw dropped in amazement. "Errm…feel free to lie on the bed…" Hiccup jumped back and snuggled into the warmth of a blanket. "Come on! Snuggle up?" Hiccup felt this new found confidence in shirtlessness. He winked coyly, a wide grin spreading across her face. Slowly Merida slid across the room and snuggled down next to Hiccup. She faced him bravely, and stroked his chest. "Ok what do you want to know about ma?" Hiccup pondered for a moment. "Hobbies?"
Merida breathed in sharply. What could she say? "I shoot…bows…no arrows….but with bows, I can ride a horse, I have a pet Labrador." Hiccup pulled back. "Where's this pet Labrador?!" Merida whistled loudly. "Mor'du!" A bumbling black puppy skipped into the room. "Awww…errm I mean NICE!" Merida giggled softly and slid from the covers and took Mor'du out again. "Ok Family?" Merida sighed, these questions where boring but he had the right to know. "I have a mum, a dad and three little brothers; Hamish, Hubert and Harris. They're triplets, and little devils at that!"
Gradually as the night drew on Hiccup learnt more and more about Merida. He was slowly falling in love with her again. Mid sentence he interrupted Merida. "Merida…Merida…" She loved the way he said her name. "Shhhh." He pressed his lips into hers. She leapt for joy inside. She pushed into him, moving her hand along his skin. It was so smooth, so soft. Hiccup pulled her in tight and let his hand sink into her hair. "Yes Hiccup…" Merida gasped for air, then almost immeadiatly began kissing him again. His lips locked around her's perfectly and she felt cheeky enough to slip a bit of tongue in. At first Hiccup was unsure but gradually got into it and returned the favour. They were kissing for quite a while, until Hiccup released. "You are so perfect…Do you want to be my girlfriend?"…
