You will have to wait and see... But reviews do make me write faster...
Chapter 9 - You have how many tattoos?
PREVIOUSLY
Letting out a sigh Hiccup say " Please keep this to yourself, only a few people know this"
" I promise I won't say anything"
" I work at a tattoo shop"
NOW
" You What ! Okay... that was funny but seriously you are joking right ?" Asked a very surprised Astrid
" Hmm ... No not really. I'm really a tattoo artist" said Hiccup while rubbing is neck
" But you don't seem like the usual ... I mean you don't have any tattoos" tried to reasoned Astrid
" Actually I have a couple of tattoos" awkwardly said Hiccup
" You do but where? How many ?" Astrid was really curious, she couldn't picture Hiccup with a tattoo much less more than one
" Well I have the Valhalla symbol on my right arm, my back has multiple tattoos that only work together, I also have one on my chest and lastly I have on both of my arms two kind of bracelets but they are actually viking runes. So I guess I have a total of 15 tattoos" finish Hiccup
On impulse Astrid grabbed Hiccup's sleeve and pull it up. Just like he had said there was a tattoo of a bracelet or what seemed like one.
" No way you are realm serious"
" Of course I am, I guess because I always wore long sleeves you can't really see them"
" Yeah you are right but... Wait where do you work ?" Questioned Astrid
Hiccup start to nervously laugh " Well ... Funny thing, I work at Dragon's Den ..."
" Wait a second ... Holly shit it was you wasn't it" said Astrid while appointing a finger at Hiccup
" I don't know what you are talking about " said Hiccup faking innocence
" Don't lie to me, you are fury aren't you ! I know he sounded familiar" finally said Astrid
Letting out a sigh Hiccup said " Yeah you are right my nickname is Night fury, but please Astrid you have to promise not to tell that to anyone"
" Don't worry I won't. But seriously that tattoo you made on Snotlout its so funny" chuckled Astrid
" You can say it was my little revenge " smirked Hiccup
Astrid couldn't help but blush a tinny blush seeing Hiccup smirk. Finishing her food she said " So how long do you have this oh so secret life"
" For about three years, Elf the owner made me a proposal I could refuse. I only work that part time though" also finishing his food and drinking the last bit of his juice Henry said
" Do all of the guys have nicknames?"
" Yeah it's mostly to keep up a certain mystery around the shop. In my case its also so my father doesn't finds out"
" So you haven't told your parents ?" Asked Astrid even though she already had an answer
" No I didn't. You know how my dad is, he would allow me to do what I like. I was never the perfect son for him" sadly said Hiccup
" Yeah he can be a little single minded, but I think that with time he can learn to accept your choices" carefully said Astrid
" I don't believe it, but thanks for the kind words" letting out a small laugh Hiccup continue " Plus the minute I'm finish with college I will leave this place"
" Really so you don't see yourself in Berk ?"
" Not really... The truth is that my childhood memories in Berk aren't the best and I don't want to live like that forever"
" I guess I can understand... "
Noticing the sad mood Hiccup tried to change it " Wanna see me making a fool of myself?"
" And how would you do that?" Asked an amused Astrid
" I will be right back" said Hiccup leaving the both
Astrid watched him walk up to Dwarf. The grin the big guy had was almost contagious and his booming voice made the rest of the customers that were on the café turn their heads towards him. " My friends I just got informed that we have a brave guy that wants to show us how much rock he has"
After he said that the lights on the small stage light up and the figure of Hiccup holding a microphone appeared.
" Now give a 'Hell yeah!' For my buddy Hiccup !"
The almost twenty people started shooting and clapping, they were all regulars it seemed
Before Astrid could think more the song started to play
Then the voice of Hiccup was heard .
Coming here unannounced, drag my nails on the tile
I just follow your scent
You can't just follow my smile
Your flaws are aligned with this mood of mine
They cutting me to the bone
Nothing left to leave behind
You ought to keep me concealed just like I was a weapon
I didn't come for a fight but I will fight till the end
This might be your battle, might not turn out okay
You know you look so Seattle, but you feel so LA
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Hiccup's voice was slight rough when he sang which gave him a more rock and roll tone. Astrid couldn't almost believe in what she was hearing right now
And I love the way you hurt me
It's irresistible, oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me
During the chorus almost everyone started to sing with Hiccup
I'm gonna get you to burst just like you were a bubble
Frame me up on your walls, to keep me out of trouble
Like a moth getting trapped in the light by fixation
Truly free, love it baby, I'm talking no inflation
Too many war wounds and not enough wars
Too few rounds in the ring and not enough settled scores
Too many sharks and not enough blood in the waves
You know I give my lover a four letter name
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Eh eh eh eh eh
Hiccup was starting to really feel the music and to Astrid his voice was almost hypnotic.
He must have felt really the groove cause he took of his jacket leaving him in his shirt. Because of that Astrid could see the tattoos on his arms and the only words that she could find to describe this side of Hiccup was ' beautiful and so damn sexy' .
Getting up from her seat she walked next to the stage and started to swing her hips. Marci and a couple of slight older girls joined her.
And I love the way you hurt me
It's irresistible, oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby
" You have to come here with Hic more often it has been a long time since he sang" said Marci
" It's the first time I seen him do this. I didn't know he had such an amazing voice" Astrid said
One of the other girls said " Well if he choose to show you this you must be special. Now coe and sing with us"
Not finding any reason to say no, Astrid started to sing along the song. Waving at Hiccup as she did so.
Hiccup saw her and waved also, smirking as he started to sing stronger.
You're second hand smoke
You're second hand smoke
I breath you in, but honey I don't know
What you're doing to me
Mon Cheri, but the truth catches up with us eventually
Tryna say live, live and let live
I'm no good good, admit to this
Second is yours, mi amour
I'm coming for you, and I'm making war
If you were to enter the café now you would see that the twenty people were now forty. Friends had call friends and if a video wasn't being made was because they knew that what happen in the CAFÉ stayed in the CAFÉ.
I still love the way you hurt me,
It's irresistible, oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
Oh oh oh oh oh oh yeah
I love the way
I love the way
I love the way you hurt me baby
I love the way
In the end Hiccup made a vow and the small crowd went will screaming and clapping. Another guy step in his place and started a song from ACDC - TNT.
Hiccup walked to Astrid and asked " So what did ya think"
Astrid jump on Hiccup and against all her instincts hugged him. " That was awesome we need to do this again"
" Yeah why not" said Hiccup, then he remember something" Look are you free this Friday night?"
Astrid stopped the hug and looked at Hiccup in a funny way " Why are you asking me that"
Realizing that what he said could be seen in another way, Hiccup quickly said " Not as a date, but my friend is celebrating is birthday and we are all going to a nearby bar to party, do ya wanna come"
Astrid thought for a while and then said " Yeah way not, it would be a good way for me to get to know you better"
" Same here. Now lets go it's almost six and I got to go to work at seven"
" Okay then"
Exiting the café, the two friends left with their minds now clear and their bond stronger.
