Prompt: Stoick being jealous of Valka having a boyfriend (not him obviously)... maybe modern AU
Yes! I love Stalka! Thank you Tangled4ever
This is Modern though, so… yeah. Oh and they are the same age, because I read somewhere that they were ten years part.
So, like you read above: MODERN ALERT
Bonus points to those who can find the 'When Harry met Sally' quote!
They were best friends. The kind that were never apart, expect at night or when they went to the bathroom.
The mayor's son and a random girl. It was a bit of a scandal.
They have been best friend since they were six and met in kindergarten, where Stephen spilled his juice box on Valka, and they've been inseparable since.
Valka put her science book in her locker and felt an arm around her shoulders. She looked up and saw Stephen smiling at her.
"Hey Stoick." Smiled Val, hugging his middle.
"Hey Val, how are you?" he asked, squeezing her shoulder
"I'm fine. You?" Valka pulled her Spanish book out
"I'm great." Stoick's accent was thick and it was music to Valka's ears after the day she just had. Valka sighed and Stoick looked at her, concerned.
"Val? You're not fine. That's it, out with it."
Valka walked out of his arms and hugged her books to her chest "I'm fine. Just… don't worry about me…" Valka shrugged and walked away.
He knew something was up. Stoick was sitting at their usual lunch table, and Valka was nowhere to be seen. Stoick looked around, the growing stubble on his chin was itchy as he looked around the cafeteria.
Suddenly, there was a hush in the cafeteria. Everyone was looking at the door, and Stoick looked up and saw his best friend holding hands with the most popular in school, other himself of course, Jacob Evers. Valka was red in the face as she looked around. Valka caught his eye and smiled. Valka pulled Jake to their table. The cafeteria was still hush, waiting to see what Stoick 'The Vast' Haddock would do to his best friend's boyfriend.
"Stoick! Hi! You know Jake right?"
"Somewhat." Said Stoick coldly
"Well, uh, is it okay for him to eat with us today?" asked Valka
"It's not like I could stop you…"
Later that afternoon, they two were at Berk's mall looking at Target.
"Would it be cheap to buy makeup here?" asked Valka
Stoick looked at the price "… defiantly not cheap." Valka laughed at set down the eyeliner "Why do you need makeup anyway?"
"Uh, Jake is taking me to this fancy restaurant. Gotta look my best." Valka Shrugged and picked up some lip gloss "Lip gloss or lip stick?" Valka held up the two tubs and Stoick rolled his eyes
"Val, you're not even listening to yourself!"
"What does that mean?" asked Valka "I just asked if lip gloss or lip stick looked better?"
Stoick grabbed the tubs and looked at her "What's the difference!?"
"Well lip gloss is-"
"This isn't the Valka Jorgenson I know! This isn't you!"
"I'm a seventeen year old girl. I'm pretty sure that we wear makeup."
"You don't! You said, and I quote, 'that it makes your lips sticky and the mascara gets in your eyes and blinds you.'"
"Maybe I just want a change." Shrugged Valka, and started to walk out of the makeup aisle
"You never wear makeup for me!" Called Stoick
Val turned around and stared at him "Why would I? We've known each other since we were six… you've seen me naked once."
Stoick turned pink and coughed "That was by accident…"
Valka crossed her arms "Same thing Stoick. Look, why are you acting this way?"
"I'm not use to you… liking someone." Said Stoick, looking at the ground
Valka smiled and walked to him, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Nothing can tear us apart." Stoick pulled her close "I promise…"
Jake and Val dated from September to March. Stoick got used to seeing them… somewhat. He still wasn't sure what the tightening in his chest was every time he caught the two kissing at Valka's locker, or holding hands down the hallway.
His locker got so dented, he had to pay for a new one.
Stoick was at his computer working on a paper for English when his phone rang.
"Hello?" he asked
"Stoick?" asked Valka, tearful voice cracked
"Valka!?" Stoick sat straighter "What's wrong?!"
"Can you come over? I really need my best friend…"
"I'll be there in five."
Stoick ran into Val's house without knocking and ran straight to her room.
"Val, it's me…"
Valka opened her door. Stoick raised his eyebrow at her sweats and makeup running down her face.
"What's wrong?" he asked
Valka hiccuped "I just need someone to hold me Stoick!" Valka hugged his middle and buried her head in his chest. Stoick held her close
"It's okay Val… it's gonna be okay…" He whispered "I promise…"
When Val pulled herself together, the two sat on her bed and Val started to explain everything.
"… he was playing video games and told me to check his phone." Valka wiped her nose "So I did! And guess who it was! It was that skank Racheal! HE'S BEEN DATING HER THE WHOLE TIME! He never loved me…" Valka leaned back and wiped her eyes. Stoick laid back and watched her cried
"I'm sorry Val…" Stoick wiped her eyes
"I'm difficult!" wailed Val
"In a good way."
"You're not supposed to lie to me! I'm your best friend!"
"I'm not lying Val!" Stoick pushed her hair out of her eyes "I promise…"
Valka looked at her best friend, and for once, he wasn't this big burly not-scared-of-anything man, but this scared looking boy.
"Stoick," She whispered looking at his lips "If I kiss you, would you tell anyone?"
Stoick looked at her in shock "What?"
"Can I kiss you?" she asked leaning in.
"Don't do this now Val… I don't want to kiss you like this…" whispered Stoick. Valka leaned back and looked down "I didn't mean it like that. I want to kiss you, I've always wanted to kiss you, but not like this… you just found out your boyfriend is cheating… I want to kiss you when you really want to kiss me."
Stoick sat up and rubbed his upcoming beard. Valka sat up after him "Maybe I do want to kiss you! Think of that!"
Stoick looked at her "You broke up with your boyfriend! I don't want to be your rebound!"
Valka looked hurt "Fine. Just go…" Valka flopped back and turned her back to him.
"Fine. If this is what you want…"
"It is." She said shortly
Stoick stood up and walked out, slamming the door behind him.
Three weeks of Stoick trying to get Val to talk to him before he realized that she wasn't going to talk to tell him. Valka was at her locker and Stoick was going to try one more time.
"Val…" He whispered as he walked up to her locker. Valka slammed the door shut and started to walk away "Don't let this ruin out friendship!" She kept walking away "Why does this mean everything!?"
Valka stopped and looked at him, eyes on fire "Because it does!"
The students started to look at them and Valka felt a blushed on her face
"It shouldn't." said Stoick "What did you want me to do? You looked at me with these big, weepy eyes and you're mad at me for doing the right thing!"
"You took pity on me!?" Screamed Valka
"Val, don't make this ruin everything. Please, I love you." Valka's eyes widened "I don't want to lose you, because if I lose you, who would keep me level headed when someone checks out your ass at the mall, or when I want to beat up your brother?" Valka smiled and laughed "I love you, and I don't know when I started, or I can't tell you that my heart skips a beat when I see you because that's to cliché. But what I can tell you is that every time I saw you with Jake, I wanted to punch his rat face."
Valka laughed "We're are cliché Stoick, get used it." Valka wiped her tears away
"Why? Because I just admitted that I got jealous?"
"No, because we're two best friends who fell in love…" she smiled
Stoick grabbed her face and kissed her.
"Stoick Haddock and Valka Jorgenson made it official!" someone shouted and everyone cheered
"Should we make it official?" whispered Val
"Yeah… we should…" Stoick whispered back before kissing her again.
