Fate~ Hiccstrid Modern

Chapter 16: Wish

The next day at school, Hiccup was still acting strange, but maybe a bit nervous, too. But he was actually talking to me after so many days. It was refreshing to get my Hiccup back.

"I won't be able to see you until lunch," Hiccup said, driving us into the school parking lot. "But I'll see you before the end of last period."

"Okay, but we still have that date you wanted after school, right?"

Hiccup smiled brightly at me as he helped out of the car with my crutches. "That's right, M'Lady. Don't you worry, I didn't forget. And I'm hoping it'll be a day to remember."

Hiccup and I entered through the school and parted at my locker with a quick kiss. The rest of the day was a blur.

Math: 9x times 3 to the 5th power. Blah, Blah, Blah.

English: Hamlet was one of the most tragic plays. HO HO HO.

Music: Write a song based on a real life experience. That one I actually took interest in. I decided that I wanted to write something for Hiccup to share with him on our date. While the past three days had been tough on me, I still loved him with all my heart. Yes, I loved him. So very much. So, while my songwriting is atrocious, and my poems were only a fraction better, I wrote out my feelings to him. The love and experiences we've had together, starting from middle school to this high school year. All my fear and doubts and worries we are going to have to face as we grow older together. Hopefully, as we grow old together.

I know, I'm ridiculous. I'm 17, 18 in two months, and I'm thinking of marrying my first boyfriend and my first love. What a joke. I know that most people don't meet those odds. I know that most break up once they hit college. But I'm still hoping Hiccup and I can beat those odds. That we will have a big wedding with all of our family and friends. That we'll have three kids, in a house with Toothless and maybe get another dog. That Hiccup will live out the dream of becoming an Engineer and I will become whomever I find I wish to be.

A fantasy, sure, but I can still wish.
