I woke up really early around 8:30. Hiccup's head was on mine and I was sleeping on his lap. I noticed I was still naked and it was about 40 degrees outside. For once in a long time I felt comfortable. I felt hiccup's breathing and I could hear his heart without pressing my head on his chest. it felt as if I never met Eugene and none of this crazy shit happened to me. I felt as if I have known hiccup my whole life. I felt comfortable with him and I didn't want to leave his warmth. His chest was still bare and I could see his chest heaving back and forth. I sighed deeply and closed my eyes again, trying to go back to sleep.
"You can wake up, you know. I've been awake for two hours." He chuckled, his voice low
"You know, I never felt this close to someone I have only known for a day."
"Not even. 12 hours or so, I would say."
"Can I stay an extra night?" I said, snuggling closer to his lap
"You can stay as long as you want." He said kissing my head
He sat up and looked out to the foggy and snow covered mountains. He got up and walked to the kitchen.
"You want anything for breakfast?" he said as he looked over his shoulder
I got up from the cold wood floor and walked to the kitchen with a blanket draped over me.
"What do you have?"
"Oh, you know, Eggs, bacon. I think I have some pancake mix from 2002." He chuckled
"Sounds yummy." I giggled
"I'll make us a breakfast of champions. How does an omelet and crispy bacon with a cinnamon bun sound to you?"
"Sounds delicious." I smiled as he balanced a carton of eggs and a pack of bacon in his arms as he closed the fridge with his foot
"Great. You can get dressed if you want." He said as he looked at me up and down, slightly turning red
"Am I making you uncomfortable?" I said as a shimmied a piece of the blanket off my shoulder
I saw him gulp and turn to the oven.
"Of course not." His voice cracked
I knew where this was going. Screw breakfast, I wanted to finish what I started. I got up and walked around the counter, sitting next to the oven, watching hiccup crack the eggs on the pan.
"wanna go for round two?" I said as I leaned over his shoulder, whispering into his ear, nibbling on his neck.
I heard him say "sweet Jesus" under his breath. He turned the knob on the oven to 'off' and wrapped his arms around my waist, kissing my neck and moving his kisses lower and lower down my chest. He cupped my jaw and started to kiss me in an agonizing slow pace. I was used to swallowing Eugene's tongue and just start getting it on after two seconds of making out. With hiccup I could savor every single move and gesture. I felt his fingers linger down to my hips. He moved me closer to him and he started to nibble my neck. I moaned softly into the top of his head. He let go of my waist and pulled back, leaving me dazed.
"I think-" his voice cracked again and he cleared his throat again
"I think we should do it in bed. I don't want to make you uncomfortable." He said, rubbing his neck.
"I got a better idea."
I got up and grabbed hiccup by the arm, leading him to the window that showed the mountains.
"let's do it there!" I said as I pointed to a small patch of long grass outside
"It's freezing!"
"We'll make it warm." Said as I gave him a sly smile, showing a side of me I didn't show to him before.
"Well, okay…" he said hesitantly
I grabbed him and tugged him to the sliding glass door. I dragged him to the small patch of grass and pushed him to the floor, letting me get on top. I positioned my body in a way so I can be facing him, he lifted his head and kissed my nose. I giggled and ripped off his pants.
"You're right. It's freezing." I giggled as I got back on top of him.
He chuckled and ran his hand through my hair
"I'm in like with you." He chuckled
"I'm in like with you too." I smiled
"okay, let's get started." He started positioning himself under me and didn't protest about letting me go on top
"Whenever you're ready." He said as he sat up and kissed my shoulder
I swear you could have heard me moaning and screaming from the mountains 40 miles away from us. It was the best sex I ever had in the longest time. He was gentle yet extremely sexy. I hated to admit it but I started to feel more comfortable with him than Eugene. I was close to finishing and this time I got the name right.
"Oh my god. HICCUP!"
I landed on top of him, my tiny body pinning him against the wet and cold grass. I felt him breathlessly chuckle and say to me
"Hey…you got the name right this time."
I lifted my head from his chest and looked at him, his chest was heaving and he had a smile from ear to ear. I smiled back and laid my head back on his chest.
"It's cold as fuck." He said breathlessly
"yea." I laughed
"Let's get inside before we die of pneumonia." He said, sitting up.
We started walking into the cabin until his leg caught onto something and he tripped
"Shit!" he said under his breath
I wrapped my arm around him and I tried to hoist him up. He got up and hit his leg against the wooden wall.
"Fucking leg."
"What happened?"
"What, my leg?"
I nodded slowly and he took a deep sigh.
"My dad wanted me to join the army to be tough and manly and that's what I did. I remember standing with my friend I nicknamed Fishlegs because of his scrawny legs and just, boom! Everyone was gone. I remember waking up in a hospital and not feeling anything at all in my right leg. When I looked it was gone. The nurse and the doctor said I was lucky I was alive. No one survived the bombing. Not even Fishlegs."
"Oh my god."
"I had to be the one to break it to his dad. It was the worst thing I ever had to do."
"I'm so sorry."
"It's not your fault. I had to go to a psychiatrist for months because I kept having these dreams of people just ripping me apart, starting with my legs. I see Fishlegs blowing up into bits and I see his family crying over his blood soaked body."
He started to look into space, as if he was watching everything happen right now.
"I was supposed to go to the psychiatrist yesterday." He snapped back into reality and looked at me
"And?"
"It was the first night in years I didn't have a nightmare."
I smiled and wrapped my arms around him. He kissed the top of my head and we both got dressed and cuddled up and watched TV. He put his arm around me and took a deep sigh.
"Thank you so much."
"For what?"
"For just being here with me. You have no idea how shitty my week was. Also, the sex isn't that bad either." He chuckled
"How many girlfriends have you had?" I said aimlessly
"To tell you the truth? One. And she was a bitch."
"What was her name?"
"Astrid. She was the most popular girl in my high school. We would have sex every single day in my car in the school parking lot. We were together for 2 years until I had to go to the army. I think that's one of the reasons I'm happy I went. So I don't have to deal with her bitch ass anymore." He chuckled again
"What is she doing now?"
"She got married to some douche bag and popped out a couple of puppies."
"Do you wish you could get married?" I said as I snuggled closer to his chest
"Yea. Sometimes. You?"
"I almost got married, remember? It was a disaster."
"Yea, but you were going to get married to him for the wrong reason."
"What are you talking about?"
"Well, judging by your lack of emotion when you have sex with me you must have had a wild time with your boyfriend. You loved him for the sex, not for the personality. Anyway, wasn't the guy a thief and a drug dealer?"
"No. He was but not anymore."
"Let me guess…you 'changed' him." he air-quoted
"I did."
"Obviously not if the guy still ended up being a douche bag. Changed men don't cheat on their girlfriends."
I looked down and started playing with a lock of my hair. He tilted my chin up and kissed me lightly on the lips.
"You can trust me when I tell you I will never ever hurt you."
"Just so you know. What we have now is not going to be anything really serious until I get over him."
"I'll wait as long as it takes."
"Ok, let's make a pact."
"A pact?"
"Yea. Ok, repeat after me. I, Hiccup."
"I, Hiccup."
"Swear to Rapunzel."
"Swear to Rapunzel."
"That even though she will live with me, have sex with me, and sleep in the same bed."
"That even though she will live with me and shag me and sleep in the same bed."
"I will never ever ever ever ever think our relationship is valid UNTIL Rapunzel tells me so."
"I will never ever get serious until Rapunzel tells me so."
"Deal?"
"Deal."
We shook hands and pinky swore. He turned back to the TV and I put my head on his lap. For the next two hours we watched 500 days of summer and ate a bowl of popcorn.
"I'm tired." He yawned
"I'm not. Let's have sex again." I said spinning my finger around his knee
"Jesus Christ. You can keep going?"
"mhm." I yawned
He took a deep sigh and played with my hair
"Fine. Only if I get to be on top."
"Why don't we go for the dominatrix thing? That would be really kinky."
"How about slow and romantic? I'll get some roses and candles."
"Whips and handcuffs?"
"No. We'll do it my way, okay? I want you to go get dinner. I'll get everything ready. Here is $20, go get some take-out."
"Okay." I got up and got my purse and started to walk out the door
"Oh, and Rapunzel?"
"Yes?"
"Take your time."
"okidoke." I skipped out of the door and into the driveway.
I got in my car and turned it on, feeling the heated air rush out of the vents and making my hair flutter into different directions. I headed to the nearest Chinese restaurant and ordered fried rice, egg rolls, honey chicken, and noodles. It took about 30 minutes in total for the guy to ring me up, hand me the box and get into my car. While I was driving back to hiccup's place the sun went down and darkness filled the curvy mountain roads. I could barely see anything past my head lights and I drove 25 miles per hour just in case. After 45 minutes of driving at a snail's pace I finally got to the cabin. I could see hiccup from the windows and he was throwing rose petals from the front door to the bed room. I grabbed the bags filled with food and dragged them to the door. I saw hiccup run into the room and I saw his pants fly out the bed room door. I opened the door and put the bags down on the kitchen counter. I started unbuttoning my blouse and walking to the bed room.
"Hiccup. Where are you?" I sang
I saw light flickering in the bed room and lo and behold there was hiccup completely naked bending over to light a candle. I giggled and took off my blouse, showing my neon pink bra. He cleared his throat and walked up to me; he wrapped his arms around my waist and started kissing my neck tenderly. I felt his hands moved down my lower back and hold on to the belt loops of my jeans. He moved one hand over to unbutton my pants and in a split second he slid my jeans down my waist. He stuck his very cold hands down my underwear and I shivered.
"Jesus Christ. Your hands are like ice."
"Oh. Sorry." He chuckled and rubbed his hands together.
"Take two." I smiled
He kissed my lips and threw me on top of the bed. He nibbled on my neck as he reached down and slipped mu underwear off. He pushed me back against the headboard and he was on his knees, cupping my jaw and kissing me passionately as if it was the last time I would ever see him after this moment. I felt my stomach twist and I started to feel butterflies. I smiled in between kisses as he got inside me. His gaze never left mine as he continued to go in and out. in the middle of it I grabbed his hair and pulled him closer to me. I felt his breath warming up my neck. We both finished around the same time. He landed on top of me and was breathing hard. He fixed his leg and whispered
"I love you"
My eyes widened and I took a deep sigh. oh no, not again.
