Chapter 4 - wonderful meetings and awful timing

NORMAL POV

"So where are we going exactly?" Asked Astrid while hugging Hiccup tightly, she wasn't used to the curves on the road when on top of a motorcycle.

" I was thinking on going to a small café I know, its called 'The Cave'. I know the owners so we will be fine there" replied Hiccup a lightly louder, it was hard to talk when you had an helmet on

"Okay... So what type of café is it ?" Astrid was trying to make small conversation, mostly because they young girl didn't like silence, it made her feel uncomfortable

" Well you may think its weird but its a mix between an old and peaceful café and a rock and roll bar" turning on another curve Hiccup was trying to get as fast as he could to the café. Astrid arms around his waist was making the poor boy thinking impure thoughts. And he was certain that if Astrid noticed his little friend, he would be alive tomorrow.

" Well that is strange, but stranger is how the hell did you end up going there"

"How so ?" Asked a genuinely confused Hiccup

" Don't take this in a bad way... But you don't scream badass nor rock and roll " slowly said Astrid, 'even if you do look good on top of motorcycle' she added in her mind

" I guess I don't. It was actually a friend of mine that took me there two years ago. And it just stuck I guess" it was true two years ago after is first successful tattoo, Elf took him here to drink and to relax. It was one of the best moments of his life. He finally felt like he belong somewhere

"That I can believe"

" What you don't think I would eventually find my way there?"

" Truthfully ? No . You just don't look like that kind of guy"

" But I can be badass if I want to!"

" Oh yeah, tell me a thing you do that is considered badass" challenged Astrid

Hiccup was about to say he had tattoos, when he remember it would be a good idea, so he stop for a couple of seconds before replying " I have a badass bike !"

" That maybe be true, however you don't have any of those custom leather jacket nor boots, plus he don't have a bear, in the end you are just someone who rides a nice bike"

" For you information I do have an leather jacket with a fierce picture on the back, also I do have motorbike boots. And if I wanted I could grow a bear" shouted Hiccup while starting to go faster

" That is something I would pay to see" sarcastically said Astrid

" Don't worry I will make a discount just for you" also sarcastically replied Hiccup

" If we weren't on top of a running motorcycle I would punch you for that remark "

" Then I will later thank the gods. But not now because we have arrived" said hiccup while stopping the motorcycle and getting of it

The moment she was of, Astrid punched Hiccup on the shoulder.

" What was that for!" Asked/whined Hiccup

"I just feel like it" smirking Astrid said

Turning to the café Astrid had to admit it had an amazing appearance. It was built between two other business, a music shop and a electronic shop. The front was the entrance of a normal café with big windows and a red and black sign that said "The Cave". The building was painted with a soft grey which gave it a little more of an anormal look. It didn't had any tables outside so it appeared that you could only order inside.

" So do you want to enter or do you prefer to continue to be statue? " the voice of Hiccup made her stop her staring. Turning to him she said in a slightly embarrassed voice. " Yeah sure"

Hiccup just chuckled before stepping and opening the door. " So are you coming or not"

Trying to recover from the stupid moment only seconds ago, Astrid said " Yeah, but why are you by the door?"

"Well it's called being polite or being a gentleman… a guy never did that to you?" asked a confused Hiccup

"No they didn't, why were they suppose to?" now Astrid was really feeling strange. Sense when were boys supposed to be polite? They weren't in the XIX century anymore, so why was Hiccup behaving like that?

"Them I'm sorry but those guys were jerks, if we are in a company of a girl it's our duty as a guy to make her feel special and pretty, at least that's what my mother thought me"

Astrid was about to say another thing when a female voice interrupt her. "Hiccup is that you sweetie ? Oh and you brought a girl with you, that's such a nice change !" the woman quickly embraced Hiccup in a motherly hug.

Astrid took the moment to look at the woman. She had red hair that barely reach her shoulders, her eyes were a dull brown, and her face was of someone who had live many adventures. She was dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans and a shirt with a draw of some band, Astrid wasn't sure which because the woman had a grey apron on top of it. She was surprise when she found herself being engulfed in a bone crashing hug.

A deep and booming voice was next heard "And who is this young lad? Hiccup my boy I told you to tell me if you found your self a girlfriend!"

Astrid tried to answer but she was currently being killed…

"She is not my girlfriend ! And please let her go, you are killing her!" yelled Hiccup while trying to hide his blush

The giant of a man just laugh before releasing Astrid. " Well I don't know if I believe ya, but it's bad for business, so I won't pry no more." turning to Astrid he said "My name is Marshal but everyone calls me Dwarf, I know is a strange name for someone who is almost seven feet tall but it kind of stuck" pointing to the woman who now had joining him by his side "This is my wife, Marceline but you can call her Marci. Now what is your name little one?"

"My name is Astrid" Astrid said while steeping on the right side of Hiccup. Dwarf wasn't kidding when he said he was almost seven feet tall, he also had dark brown hair and a beard full of braiding. His eyes were a darker shade of blue and he had several tattoos all over his body, he wore simple grey pants and a black and red shirt that had seen better days with all the holes it had. He seemed however very friendly like a giant teddy bear.

Sensing that Astrid was getting uncomfortable Hiccup said " Well now that the introductions are over, Marci do you mind cooking us two plates of pancakes ?"

"Of course not sweetie , what will you be having for drink?"

"I think orange juice will be good" looking at astrid and seeing her nod he continue "We will be moving to the corner booth me and the guys usually seat"

"Okay Hiccup we will be right back, come on Marsh I need your help in the kitchen"

Seeing what his wife was trying to do Dwarf said "Right behind you Honey"

Now alone Hiccup proceed to guide Astrid through the tables and into the corner of the café, were a small booth was.

When they were seated he said "I hope you can forgive them, they can get easily excited"

Smiling a tinny smile astrid said "No problem, they are a very nice couple and this café is awesome really, it's full of rock and roll memorabilia and its has a stage and everything, I feel like I travel back in time and end up in the rock age"

"Yeah I felt the same, and stages is for Fridays when they let people thing, kind of karaoke but only with rock and roll songs "

"I need to remember to visit this on a Friday"

"Ahaha well they may be someone who doesn´t know how to sing at all, but most of the times the people who sing know what they are doing"

"Did you ever tried ?"

"Actually yeah, the guys make me sing every year on my birthday"

"Hmm hiccup, Who are the guys ? you keep tell me about them but I don't really know who they are" asked a confused and very curious Astrid

NOW IT WAS Hiccup's time to be nervous " Well you see they are a couple of people that I meet on my job, you won't know then cause they all work there full time, and I only work there part time"

"So they are older than you?"

"Yes but just a couple of years nothing much"

"Well, sometime in the future you will have to introduce me to them" casually said Astrid, inside of her head however she was freaking out ' why the hell did I say that?'

"What you mean that this won't be a onetime thing ?" asked a surprised Hiccup

"Why do you want it to be ?" Astrid said while lifting her eyebrow

"No I mean … I would lo… you are … we …" Hiccup had been reduced to a ball of stutter

Seeing that he was feeling embarrassed Astrid said "It's just that I feel like we have drifted apart this last years" Hiccup whisper a quiet 'No shit' but a glare of Astrid and he was quiet " Look what I'm trying to say is that I just want to be friends again"

Hiccup tried to find any kind of lie in Astrid's eyes, but he found none, taking a deep breath he said " I guess we could try, but it won't be easy Astrid even if unintentional you and the others hurt me and I can't just let that go. So don't ask me to go and talk to them cause I won't. I can try to be friends with you but that isn't a ticked for the rest of the gang"

"I understand, and in the future will you tell what has happen to you, because you can't deny it Hiccup you are different"

"I guess I am, and I will tell you just not now"

"Okay I will be waiting then" said Astrid with a small smile

Hiccup also smiled. They stayed in a comfortable silence , until Marci appeared with a trail with the order and a bottle of chocolate syrup. " I don't know if you like chocolate with your pancakes but Hiccup always has it"

"It's okay I also like chocolate" said Astrid taking a bite from her plate "Oh my god this is delicious"

"Thank you dear, I learn how to do that when I was on a rock festival with my husband. You know what they say, you can't sing with an empty stomach" Marci said while laughing "Now I will leave the two of you alone, my duty calls and I can't let my little Dwarf all alone in the kitchen" she gave then another smile before leaving

Breaking the silence Astrid said "I would never have guess she was into rock and roll, she looks like a perfect picture of a sweet mother, well if you exclude the clothes"

"You are right and she and Dwarf treat almost all of their customers as if they were family. You see a couple of years ago Marci was diagnosed with ovaries cancer so she can't have kids. Instead of crying about it, she and Dwarf build this place and treat it has if it was their own child. I don't know if they will ever adopt cause she and him are both 41 but who knows"

"I feel sorry for them, but at the same time I feel that they are happy" Astrid said while eating

"That's because they are. Life isn't always clear skies, sometimes you have to try and see through the fog" Hiccup said while drinking

"You are being quite wise this afternoon" Astrid tried to joke

"I guess I am, now little one finish eating your food and if you behave well I will treat you to some ice cream" entering the joke, Hiccup said with an almost parental voice

Astrid could not help and started to laugh. Hiccup just smile at the sight he was seeing, it was one of the most beautiful sight he had even seen.

Suddenly Astrid phone started to ring.

"Fuck who is it this time" and angry Astrid grumble, she was enjoying her time with Hiccup

Answering without seeing who it was, she said "what do you want?"

Hiccup was very close to Astrid having moved when they were playing, and because of being only 18:00 pm the Café almost empty so he could hear the other voice on the phone

"Calm down babe, I was just trying to remember you about the party"

"First of all Snot CALL ME BABY ONE MORE TIME AND I WILL KILL YOU… second I thought I told I wasn't going to the party" angrily said Astrid ~

"I know you did, but Fish decided to came and my car can't take all of us, and the twins are already wasted so we need you to drive"

"Why can't Fish do it?"

"Cause I plan on making him drink his own weight in beer"

"ugh Fine … I will be at the dorms in 25 minutes"

"What you aren't at the dorms?"

"No"

"Why? Where are you?" you could see that Snot voice was stating to became lauder

"None of your business… now goodbye" Astrid said before hanging up. Turning to Hiccup she said "I need to go"

"I figured, Snot is quite loud on the phone" Hiccup said

"So you heard ?" asked Astrid

"Yeah and don't worry I'm not mad, it's getting late and I still have some things to do so it's alright"

"Still I'm sorry"

"No biggie"

"Well can you give me your number?"

"What… why ?"

"Cause you are my friend "

"Okay" taking of his phone Hiccup said "Give me your name and I will text you"

Astrid gave him her number and as promise hiccup text her.

After finishing their food, paying and saying goodbye to Marci and Dwarf the two of them left the café.

Astrid couldn´t be more happy and sad at the same time

And it's done! Tell what you thought of it ….
