Hiccup and Merida stood watching Astrid and Elsa laughing under a tree. "I wonder what they're talking about," Hiccup said.
"Well, I hope Elsa gets a move on and asks her out," Merida stated, her words twisted by her thick Scottish burr.
Hiccup laughed. "I know! It became obvious that Elsa is into Astrid a few weeks ago. And I think Astrid kind of likes her, too."
"Are you really alright with breaking up with Astrid?" Merida asked.
"It was never serious. And besides," Hiccup glanced sideways at his fiery companion. "I think I have eyes for someone else."
"Who?" She asked. Hiccup laughed and kissed her on the cheek. Merida's eyes widened. Then she grinned and said, "Why Hiccup, you rascal!" She glanced over at the two girls, and said, "Wait, wait, look."
Elsa was asked Astrid something, and then looking away, embarrassed. "Finally," Merida muttered. Then Astrid was saying yes, and giving Elsa a big hug. The Slytherin girl's face showed her surprise.
"'Bout time," Hiccup said. The two watched as Astrid leaned forward and gave Elsa a kiss. "Should we give them some privacy?" Hiccup asked.
"Yeah, probably," Merida replied. Hiccup put his hand on her cheek and turned her face away from the girls under the tree. He leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips, and was pleased to find that she didn't pull away.
