But...The Night Is Young!

Chapter Seventeen: Puck You!

Chapter Seventeen: Puck You!

=H I C C U P=

"Well that went super well," I muttered as I dipped my hand in the cold lake and smeared the coldness of the water in my eye which is bruising, completely throbbing and bruising. It practically hurts! That girl can throw a punch alright!

She is the most dangerous and highly trained shield maiden in the whole archipelago, a voice in the back of my mind reminded me; the same voice that urged me to say those three words I saw to her during our...disagreement. Why in Thor's Mjölnir did I ever say those words?! Because you do love her! the voice came back. 

"Shut up! Shut up! Shut the fuck up!" I shouted at myself, my voice bouncing off the rocky walls in the cove and echoed through out the forest. 

"Hiccup?" a familiar voiced was ran through for me to hear. I groaned in annoyance, knowing that she's near me. Can't she just leave me alone?! I'm not a kid! "Hiccup?" she called again. I looked at Toothless and shook my head for him to know to not signal that I was in the cove. But, nonetheless, she entered the cove, clearly seeing me. I sighed.

"I can expla-" She cut me off.

She walked to me, gasping. "Hiccy! What did that wretched girl do to you?" she asked in a high pitched voice which was annoying as Hel!

I sighed, once again and stood up, from the edge of the lake. "First, don't call me Hiccy," I stated. I literally hate the name. "Second, Astrid is not a wretched girl-" 

Again, she cut me off. "She is more than a wretched girl," she scoffed. "Look what she did to your handsome face." She placed a hand on my cheek but I swat it away. She tried again to touch me but I managed to avoid it. 

"As I was saying, Astrid is not a wretched girl and don't you ever call her that," I warned her with a glare which she backed up a bit. "If you ever call the girl I love wretched, I will make sure you have no reputation." I then stopped what I was saying and went over at what I said. Oh Holy Thor, did I just fucking say that?! Did I just protect Astrid, the girl who punched me and the girl who I think I'm in love with, from Mista's comments?

Mista dropped her jaw, of course surprised of what I just told her. "You're in love with her?!" she squeaked. She panted, fanning herself with her hands. After a couple of her fanning and calming herself down, she looked at me. "Hiccup, I think you're being delirious here," she said, scoffing. "You don't really love her, do you?"

I chuckled at her question. "I'm saying yes, I am," I nodded. It wasn't the first time I felt like this but it's been forever I felt like I was free from something. 

"First Heather, now Astrid? Heather especially. You chose to lo-"

She stopped when she saw my deadly glare. I wasn't very fond of anyone talking about my past with Heather. Everyone knew that and she just dared to put it up of one of her subjects to talk about. It was a very sensitive topic and I never want to talk about it. Whenever someone asks or tells me about it, I would either ignore the person or just give them my famous I-will-kill-you glare. 

"Mista, I'm going to leave and you are not going to follow me," I commanded her in a very slow pace so she could understand me. 

She scoffed, placing a hand on her hip and giving me an incredulous glare. "I can hear you, I'm not a little kid," she retorted.

I snorted. Yeah you are a kid, I thought to myself as I hopped on Toothless and flew off. 

...

Everyone on the table I sat on gasped, all except Snotlout. The guy was laughing so hard that we all think he was going to die at that moment. The people coming in the Hall was looking at him weirdly at why he was laughing so hard as if someone was tickling him with a feather. 

"A girl finally learned her lesson and punched you?" Snotlout asked as his laughter died down. "Astrid, I presume?"

"Woah! A Hofferson punched you?" Tuffnut gasped in amusement. "How did it feel? Was it better than the puny punches Ruffnut throws at?"

"Hey! I do not throw puny punches!" Ruffnut exclaimed, her mouth stuffed with chicken. "You do!"

"You're so in denial," Tuffnut teased and shook his head. "So what did you do to make a Hofferson punch you?"

"I told her I love her," I simply answered, shrugging. Everyone in the table gasped in surprised and Ruffnut spit out her chicken. We all cleaned ourselves from her spit and chicken. 

"You told her you love her?!" Ruffnut shouted. Now everyone inside the Hall heard what just happened and looked at us weirdly and curious. 

"Keep it down the person who's going to make everyone deaf," Tuffnut said while pretending to clean his ears.

"Did you really say the word love to her?" Fishlegs now asked. "Because you have never used that word since...we were 17." He also looked so surprised. I can tell why, I never loved any human being (Toothless and my parents doesn't count because it's not the love I'm talking about). 

I shrugged nonchalantly. "The words just slipped out of my mouth, I blame for my dad of having no filter between my brain and my mouth." I chuckled at my joke while everyone just looked at me in shocked. 

What is the matter with these people? I've used the word before, it's not like it was a whole new experience for me. Sure I was hung over from the last time I said the word and didn't get out of the house for about three months but that doesn't mean I can't use that word anymore. 

The huge doors opened revealing a blonde haired girl with her own style of braid. The person I have been wanting to see all day long as I blurted the words out that I thought I would never say. The words that have resurfaced for me to love again.

Astrid.
