Hiccup's P.O.V

I can't believe it; did I just hear what I think Astrid said? If…if…she…likes me more than a friend…does…this mean she has feelings for me?! Oh well I better stop staring at her because I think its creeping her out. She had a weak smile on her face and she was blushing, a lot.

Normal P.O.V

Astrid looked away while Hiccup was still staring at her but he managed to put a weak smile on his face. "Astrid, do you have feelings for me?"

"Yes…no…I don't know!" She shouted.

"Whoa calm down milady. I was only asking."

She sighed, loudly. "I know, I'm sorry, I guess it's just I feel like you wouldn't want to be my friend, if not more."

"Astrid, why wouldn't I? You are one of the best friends I have ever had, even though you are famous, you can still be a normal person like everyone else. Plus, your fun to argue and joke with." She smiled at this and moved towards Hiccup and grabbed him into a hug. He smiled and responded by hugging her back tightly. He pulled back gently and they were both staring into each other's eyes. Hiccup saw the disappointment in her eyes and pulled her back into their tight, romantic hug. "Astrid, this doesn't mean we can be together…"

She interrupted and pulled back, "But, but why?"

"I wasn't finished. We can't be together until I sort out things with Heather. Also, if you tell anyone that you have a 'boyfriend' can you please not tell anyone my name."
This made her smile, "Ok so you want to be my 'anonymous' boyfriend?"

"Of course I do, as long as no one's knows that we are together. Only because people at my high school will probably swarm me, including you if you come to my school. I don't particularly want that because I am not well known at my school." As he said that, Astrid let go off him and lid down, laughing a lot. He smiled and couldn't help himself from laughing as well. He lay down next to her, and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. She smiled and they both faced each other. "This is the best moment of my life," Astrid thought.

After a few hours of spending time with each other, they were walking home, fingers intertwined and arms swinging back and forth. "Hey, want to come round to mine for a bit?" Hiccup asked.

"Sure, as long as its ok with Sophie." Astrid quickly rang Sophie and said it was fine, as long as she was back by 9pm. It was about 4 so they had 5 hours together. He smiled and then frowned. He was glaring at someone who was at his front door. "Great, Heather's here," he mumbled. Astrid barely heard him and motioned him to get her to go. She waited in the front garden.

Hiccup's P.O.V

I invited Astrid round for a bit since she has like nothing to do at hers but I groaned when I saw Heather waiting at my front door. Astrid motioned me to get rid of her so I did. I walked to my house and saw Heather turn around. She smiled but before she spoke I said, "Heather, I'm busy so could you please go home?" She saw Astrid behind me and frowned. She nodded and walked off. I turned to see her walk off and before I went over to Astrid, I was tackled in a tight hug and nearly fell over. I relaxed to know who it was and hugged back tightly. I pulled back gently and took her inside.

Normal .P.O.V

They both went up to Hiccup's room with Toothless following close behind. Astrid gasped when she saw how big his room was. "Wow…" she said, "this is a big room." He smiled at her and took her to the sofa. She looked surprised to see it managed to fit 3 people. They both sat down and Hiccup put one of his arms around Astrid's shoulders and one around her stomach area. "When should I tell him," thought Astrid. "I guess it will have to be soon, otherwise he will never know."
