So many apologies, changed colleges and work has been hellish, back to normal now though, ENJOYYY

PS SHOE SIZES ARE AMERICAN, majority of people that read this are American so I just made it easier... I think... just google it :')

10 am... ehh.

Astrid didn't expect to feel hung over after her first night at work, at least it had been relatively quiet for a Friday- Ruff had explained there was a College football game and 'people are devoted to that shit in Berk'- and she hadn't dealt with many customers. She wasn't so confident tonight would be the same. Saturdays are one of the busiest nights like football-less Fridays.

She dragged herself out of bed in steps that seemed separated by about an hour. Step 1: Sit up and stretch for a minute or two.

Step 2: Pull legs out of bed and place on floor.

Step 3: Stand up and shuffle from here to food.

It seemed like a simple strategy to get to food but it's a lot harder than it sounds, when you're in a long term relationship with your bed. She groaned as she shuffled to said food and prepared for a tedious walk to the kitchen.

When she arrived there she saw a note next to the phone, probably just a message for her,

Astrid, a guy named Goober or Gobby or something like that rang. Said to tell you 'ye got the job and tonight's an early start at 5' congrats on finally getting a job. Cold bacon sandwich in the fridge for you. Mum x

It's funny that she never even asked what she would get paid and that she just accepted with no questions she thought as she made her way over to the fridge for this promised bacon sandwich.

After finishing her sandwich she showered and got ready to meet Ruff, as they had all planned to meet up. The thing that had aloud her body to wake up was the promise of seeing Hiccup... not that she'd admit it.

Just as she was finishing her braid her phone buzzed with a text:

Gonna bring a few others, my brother asked if Snot can come... I agreed... Hic is coming too cos he can drive us around :) xxx

Reading the words 'Hic is coming' sparked something in her that made her feel almost nervous, then she replied with:

Okay, I'm ready now so feel free to come whenever xxx

She finished her braid and sat patiently on her bed browsing twitter remembering Hiccup had started following her on it, so she went on his profile and began stalking his twitter...

BEEP BEEP

When she heard this she grabbed her jacket and bag and flew down the stairs and slowed down in just enough time to attempted walking out the door gracefully.

"And now introducing my sexy best friend!" Ruff shouts through the window giving a cheer after. Astrid rolled her eyes, continued down her path to the black car that belonged to Hiccup *gulp* and composed herself.

She also then wondered why Ruff had referred to her as that... she was only in a tshirt and jeans? Okay. A tight tshirt and skinny jeans.

"Can we get this straight now please, I am not sitting in the middle seat." Between two drooling guys she continued in her head.

"Tuff, you scoot over next to Snot and Astrid can sit behind me." Ruff commands, slapping her brothers head in the direction he needed to go.

After a loud journey of car karaoke and innuendos they had arrived at their destination. For some unknown reason they all had agreed on bowling as their entertainment for today.

Astrid had thanked the gods she was awake enough to remember to wear slip on shoes. Those lace up bowling shoes take forever to put on and the time would have increased if she'd have worn her knee high lace up Dr Martins like she had considered when she was half asleep.

"Size 8 please." She states after the guy at the shoe desk asked her. As she walked away she had paid enough attention to hear that Hiccup had said size 12.5...well if the rumour is true—no stop it Astrid.

When they had all finished lacing up their shoes they were directed to an alley by a young, gangly teen and advised to choose the correct balls...Hmm.

"I think I can handle the 16 pound ball." Tuff announces in a cocky tone attempting to pick up the dark red bowling ball... and failing to do so.

"Maybe you should try the 14 pound ball, Tuff..." Hiccup advises concerned for his friend.

"Yeah go for the lighter one, your arms are tiny." Ruff adds.

"Hey! Don't tell me what to do!" He snaps back poising to throw the ball.

"MMMMMMMMMMISS!" Snot shouts as he throws, screwing up his throw completely with it veering to the right and into the gutter.

"Fuck you man." He replies sulking to his next throw managing to knock down 5 of the 10 pins.

"Astrid your turn!" Ruff shouts excitedly.

"Oh really... you could have at least put me last... I haven't done this in 10 years." Astrid huffs before picking up a light blue 14 pound ball with ease, impressing all three guys.

She poises to throw and when she does it, like Tuffs, goes straight to the gutter after hitting the one on the left edge.

"Do you need any help Astrid?" Hiccup asks in a warm tone trying to sound as timid as he can. Oh gods Astrid, take the help.

"Okay..." She mumbles trying not to sound happy about this.

He stands to the left of her and curves his right arm around her body to help guide her right arm, gently walks her forward while pulling her arm back then pushing it forward to convince her to release the ball at an exact moment.

Astrid turns to glance at her helper seeing him grinning foolishly, so she turns to see what her ball has done... it knocked all of the 9 down...

"Yay!" She jumps excitedly, turning to Hiccup for a brief thank you hug.

After Hiccups turn which came after hers the two had sat and talked between turns for the whole game, it wasn't even awkward for some reason... that contact of helping and the hug had just helped somehow.

The game ended around 3 and Ruff, her brother and Snot all had to go to work early so Hiccup drove them to work leaving just him and Astrid alone.

"Do you want me to drop you home?" He asks facing her for a few seconds to await her answer.

"No... we can hang out for a bit" She replies with a calm smile, composing herself to not reveal her almost euphoric nerves that had settled in her stomach from being alone with him.
