A/N: Aww man, nobody sent me a request. Figures. Well, this one is a request from... Myself. I just wanted to write Astrid a bit OOC or soft (maybe girly). So please read it and enjoy it... Read and Review! (PLEASE SEND ME REQUESTS)

Summary: She's a Viking. And Vikings are supposed to be strong and fearless. But who could blame her for a little soft side?

Soft

I'm Astrid Hofferson. By the name you could guess that I'm from the Hofferson clan. And if I know anything from it, is that the Hoffersons doesn't know the word fear. They are strong, intelligent, agile, and other things a warrior should be. My uncle, Finn Hofferson, had the title of fearless. Cool right? Fearless Finn Hofferson. But his life was taken in an unfortunate event by the Flightmare. When my uncle was entangling with the beast, he suddenly froze and got killed by it. I never wanted to believe the story. After my uncle was gone, people from the village started ridiculing us, Hoffersons, for being fearless was just a fluke. I swore that day to kill the Flightmare to prove that the Hoffersons are fearless and avenge the death of my uncle.

When Arvin Dale's fire appeared, I quickly prepared everything to slay that beast. But as always, he was there also. He insisted that we should tame it instead of killing it. Usually, I would like his plan, but this was for the sake of my family's name. When I unleashed myself with the Flightmare I didn't know what got into me. I couldn't move even a muscle. When the Flightmare was rushing towards me he jumped and got me to the ground. Then, he concluded that the dragon has some kind of a paralyzing spray instead of fire. After the whole feat with that, he declared to the village that my uncle, was truly fearless. I couldn't even form a word of how thankful I am for restoring my family honor. But I guess it's just me, action and violence suits me better.

Now we're training in the dragon academy. Today's lesson is about archery. He said that we should learn it so if our dragons had run out of their shot limits, we could still do some damage. I was confident that I would win. Hey, I'm a prone to hand to hand combat. What makes you think I can't handle a bow?

The first one up was Snotlout. He boasted that he could hit bull's eye from every target. But none of it actually hit home. No one was surprised. The next one was Fishlegs. I had to admit that he has a pretty good aim, two hit middle and one slanted. After that were Ruffnut and Tuffnut. They both got a decent aim, if only they didn't bicker with each other while aiming.

I was second to last. I got a little excited. Not that I want to brag but I do have good aim. I stood up from the seat and grabbed my bow. I walked into the firing range and positioned myself to shoot. As I was ready to release the arrow, until he got my eye. He waved at me and smiled lopsidedly. I couldn't resist myself to get distracted, so when the bowstring had sprang pushing the arrow ahead, it missed. I heard the others snickered. I mentally punched myself to be easily fooled. I took my second aim. I was about to shoot it when he really had to cheer on me.

"Good luck, Astrid"

Unsurprisingly it missed again. At that time I was furious with myself. And irritated of him. I took my last arrow and determinedly aimed for the middle. I glanced around to check for distractions. And that's when I snapped. The others were shouting to me.

"C'mon Astrid, you can do it"

"Don't lose to Snotlout, Astrid"

"Aim carefully, Astrid"

With that, the last arrow gone to waste. I clenched my fist infuriated and made way to the guy who made me miss the first two shots. I stomped to him, literally. And when he was in front of me, I glared at him and gritted my teeth.

"A-Astrid?" He stuttered while looking around for possible escape route. And of course, by instinct I had blocked all means of escaping.

He gulped nervously and sweat beginning to appear on his forehead. "I'm done for" He squeaked. The others watched carefully as I was going to beat the daylight out of him. I closed in on him when unexpectedly he jumped forwards and kissed me. My eyes widened of shock and readied my hands to punch him. But it felt numb before it could reach his abdomen. His grip tightened around my waist as I closed my eyes and let myself into relaxation. After a moment he parted and I opened my eyes. He was gone. I heard the academy burst into fits of laughter as I fell for the cheap trick. I fumed in my head and went to Stormfly.

"C'mon girl. Let's find that rascal and beat him to a pulp" Stormfly took off and we flew across the village. I searched but I didn't find signs of him being in the crowds. I thought for a moment before an idea popped.

"Let's go to the cove Stormfly" I yanked her and flew in top speed to his refuge.

We arrived at the cove and found him hiding behind a big rock. I stealthily sneaked to him. When I was close enough I pounced in front of him and caused him to fall back.

"A-Astrid? W-What are you doing here?" He stuttered nervously.

"Oh, nothing. I just want to check up on the person who made me miss two shots of arrow" I retorted sarcastically while rising my voice at each word.

"R-Really?" He smiled sheepishly.

"What the heck Hiccup? Why did you distract me?" I yelled while he backed away.

"Wh-What are you talking about?" Asked him confusedly. "I didn't distract you. Why would I?" He said quietly while rubbing the back of his neck.

"Then what about those lopsided smiles and your tender cheering voice? You know I could not resist that!" I said angrily.

"You couldn't resist my smile and voice?" He smirked and a bit surprised. I blushed instantly and looked away.

"N-No. I just find it intriguing" Gods, I stuttered. Man, what is wrong with me.

"The mighty Astrid Hofferson stuttering? What are the chances people will hear that?" His smirk grew wider as my face turn hotter and redder.

"Shut up!" I snapped embarrassed. I punched him on the gut.

"Ow, what was that for?" He complained playfully.

"For distracting me!" I said still angry for what he'd done.

"I didn't meant to distract you. You just couldn't help seeing my adorable face" He snickered. "Just admit it. You even fell for the kiss" I blushed to maximum if that's even possible.

C'mon Astrid, you're a Hofferson. You're not supposed to do that. Pull yourself together girl! I screamed in my head when he suddenly moved towards me and repeated what happened in the academy. I struggled to push him away just to find his grip like iron. I surrendered and returned the kiss. He parted slightly and smiled.

"But I'm glad you did" His smile radiated on his face giving the expression of happiness. I couldn't contain my feelings any longer so I just inched my head forwards and kissed him again fiercely. Guess I couldn't care less about my pride. I don't see the need to hide my soft side from him, he is Hiccup after all. I smiled into the kiss.
