She knew it was beginning to transpire into something more than a 'fake' boyfriend.

She knew it was getting out of hand.

She knew she wanted more than just a fake relationship with him. She thought he did too.

Then why did Hudson hesitate?

Hudson Haddock- 6"0 foot, lithe, a mop of brown hair that glowed red in the sunlight and a smile that could light up the world.

Astrid was falling for him every second she spent with the lanky boy. Even though they were 'faking' they both find themselves asking if it was real or not.

The whole 'relationship' has been going on for 2 weeks now, and every single person that had witnessed them together (acting or not) didn't question the fact that they were dating. They were on one of their "dates"; a Friday night date, whilst everyone was at parties. They liked it this way since they both weren't a fan of college parties. They were sat on the couch of Astrid's dorm, sharing a large blanket, and eating all the food they could get their hands on. When they were alone they found themselves still reaching for each other's hands or Hudson's arm wrapped around Astrid's waist. Currently, Astrid was cuddled to his side and Hudson's arm was around her waist. They always use the excuse:

"What if someone comes in and finds us apart? We've been going so well we wouldn't want that to waste." They are so stupid.

Hudson held a large bowl of popcorn in one arm and a packet of M&M's in the other. They watched the movie in a comfortable silence, occasionally switching snacks without a word. Hudson looked down to his side; the beautiful woman that was snug to his side. He turned back to the movie. He started to slowly stroke his thumb in small circles, where he had his hand situated. Astrid squirmed a little. But he continued. She giggled and that's when he did a double take. But he finally realised. He continued but this time, he used both hands and tickled the other side. She squirmed vigorously and started to laugh.

"H-h-Hud! S-Stop!" She squirmed underneath his hands. He grinned morally.

"Nah. You seem to be having fun!"

"N-no! I'm s-seriously n-n-not!" He falters for a second and she takes advantage of it, pinning his hands down underneath her knees which put her in a straddle position. Neither of them thought about it as they began a tickle war, each of them fighting to be victorious. She found where he was ticklish and turned the weapons on him.

"HAH! How does it feel, 'almighty Hudson'? How does it feel to be pinned and helpless by Fearless Astrid Hofferson!" She taunted him with a grin and poked a finger into his chest, catching her breath. Hudson smirked in reply and suddenly pulled his hands out from her knees, using a strength she hadn't seen before. Her grin disappeared as he pushed her off of him and pinned her hands beside her head, that was when they both realised how close they were. Astrid could feel Hudson's breath on her face as he hovered above her, his eyes softened and his lips, so close. Time seemed to slow. She watched him lean in. She felt her eyes close and soon felt the soft touch of his lips against hers. He removed his strong grip from her arms and gently brought his hand to her face, deepening the kiss. Astrid returned the favor and wrapped her arms around his neck. Soon they parted panting for breath, still in each other's arms. Hudson spoke up.

"We were kidding ourselves if we thought this wasn't going to happen."

Astrid sighed and looked down. But Hudson gently pulled her chin upward toward him, azure blue met piercing green. When she didn't speak he took his hand from her face and placed it in his lap, fiddling nervously.

"I'm sorry, Astrid. I thought that you wanted to... Look I'll go if you want too. You can break up with me or, uh whatever." He said and started to get up.

"Hudson." Astrid said getting up after him. He turned to face her, and immediately he felt her lips on his. His eyes widened but immediately reacted, keeping a gentle hold on her hips. Once they parted Astrid smiled softly and glanced up towards him.

"How could I break up with you if we weren't even dating?"

"Maybe I should change that." He replied with a smirk.

"Maybe you should."

Hudson paused for a moment to admire her beauty, taking in every inch of her face from the faint creases on her forehead to her freckle-spattered cheeks.

"Astrid. Will you be my girlfriend?"

And at that moment, nothing needed to be said. Because everything was being answered by a kiss, that seemed to last eternally.

—

"Hey, guys." Hudson said as he and Astrid ambled toward the group of friends, hand in hand, grins planted on their faces.

"Hey! Have you seen the la—" Fishlegs began only to be interrupted by Ruffnut.

"Something's changed" She started, getting up from her seat and studying the couple furiously.

"Something has" Astrid replied casually.

"Mind telling me what that something is?"

"Sure" Hudson replied, him and Astrid taking a seat beside his friends.

"We're dating!" Astrid announced but instead received multiple confused stares. Hudson nudged her and she continued.

"We kind of, um, weren't dating to begin with.."

"EXCUSE ME?"

"WHAT?"

Were their replies. So they explained the whole Astrid-fake-boyfriend-accidental-prank, thing. A long silence of gaped jaws hung in the air. The only voice they heard afterwards was Ruffs.

"I FREAKING KNEW IT!"

"Pardon?" Astrid blinked,

"I knew all along Hudson wasn't your boyfriend I just wanted to see how long it took you guys to realise you look fucking cute together!" She exclaimed with a snigger.

That was the day that they all questioned Ruffnut's intelligence. The day where it seemed the twins could indeed, be smart.

Who knew?

She certainly didn't.
