Modern Day
Hiccstrid CH10
Astrid's P.O.V
It's a Saturday today and I was planning to go over to Hiccup's. It's about 10 in the morning so he should be up by now. If he isn't then he's just plain…lazy. I was ready to go, I was dressed and everything. I had black skinny jeans on, hi-top sneakers, a checked shirt with a dark red zip up jacket. I was thinking if I should put my beanie on or not. Oh what the heck, I look cuter in it any. I had curled my hair, letting it flow down my back just underneath my shoulders. I checked that I had everything and headed downstairs. I messaged Sophie to tell her where I was going, she was out shopping…again. She's like addicted to clothes shopping. I shuddered at the thought. I would never ever be like that. I'm more of a tom boy than a 'girly' girl. I was walking towards the front door, about to leave until someone knocked on it, surprising me. Oh great, who's that now?! I stomped towards the door, a frown on my face. I opened it but I froze in my spot when I saw who was standing there…it was…Jayden…my…ex-boyfriend. Oh gods why is he here?! I can't let Hiccup see him! "Hey, Astrid, uh would I be able to, uh, come in?" he asked. I nodded quickly and pulled him inside while slamming the door shut. "What are you doing here?" I hissed at him. He just put his hands up in defence. "I just wanted to see you; I came here to tell you something." He took a breath, facing me making eye contact. I widen my eyes. Oh gods what is he gonna say?! "I miss you…" After I heard that I felt dizzy then the darkness surrounded me.
Hiccup's P.O.V
I was just messing around with Toothless when I realised it was about 11 in the morning. "Hey buddy, should we go see Astrid?" He barked happily and ran towards the door. He managed to get the front door open and by the time I was out of the house, Astrid's door was opened by this…boy?! I whistled quickly to Toothless, who stopped mid-way and ran back to me. Luckily that, boy, didn't see him. I hid behind a bush, watching him disappear down the street. When I was sure he was gone, I ran to Astrid's house, opening the door, letting myself in. I looked all around until I came into the living room. I froze in the doorway, looking at Astrid who was curled up on a chair, clutching her beanie to her chest. As I walked towards her I noticed she was crying silently. Why is she crying? Astrid never cries she's the toughest girl I know. Trust me, she can be scary. I got in front of the chair and knelt down I front of it. I got a clearer picture of how she was sitting. She was hugging her legs to her chest (along with the beanie), her head buried on her knees. "Astrid?" I asked. She froze and looked up. I sighed when I saw her face. Her eyes were red and bloodshot. When we made eye contact, she launched herself at me, giving me a death hug but I didn't mind. It kinda hurt though. "Astrid, what's wrong?" She mumbled something into my shoulders, but I couldn't hear her. I pulled away slightly making her face me. "Astrid…" I demanded gently. "Come on; tell me what's wrong…please…" She didn't reply, instead she shook her head quickly before burying her face in my shoulder again. I sighed while pulling her closer to me again, resting my chin on her shoulder, rubbing her back gently.
After a few minutes I saw Astrid's back rise up and down, evenly. Yep, she's asleep. Now should I go? Or stay? I better go; I'll leave her in peace. I put my left hand on her back and my right one under her knees before I picked her up. I placed her gently on the chair where she was sat earlier and draped a blanket over her to keep warm. I kissed her forehead lightly before getting up and walking towards the doorway. I was about to exit until I heard a mumble. "Hiccup?" I turned and saw Astrid's eyes fluttering open. I walked over to her quickly. "Astrid, are you okay?" She nodded then opened her arms out, wide. I smirked and pulled her into a hug. I buried my face in the crook of her neck. "Can you tell me what's wrong now?" I mumbled. I heard her sigh deeply, oh gods, that isn't a good sign. "You don't have to…yet," I added. Oh jeez, Toothless and I could cheer her up, wait a minute…where is Toothless? Oh well, he's probably at home. I quickly looked out the window that faced my house. I saw a black figure jump up the fence. Yep that's him. Phew, I thought I lost him. I pulled back to see Astrid staring at me. I smiled and leaned in. She quickly closed the gap between us. Our lips were moving in sync, putting passion into it. I made it deeper as I moved my hands down to her waist while she moved hers into my hair. After a few minutes we pulled away for air. "Hiccup, I'm just going to tell you this now. My ex-boyfriend is here and he wants me to get back together with him." I froze in my spot, unable to speak.
Not saying anything except, to be continued…
