Platonic

Hey chat it's me again

I know I'm not a one hit wonder! I'm back! I also have a long awaited surprise incoming and hopefully a knife to the gut following it. So stay tuned!

Anyways I got the idea for this one from Pinterest, just a short, hopefully cute one!

A/N: please continue to comment on my stories! I love the community you all create and love getting the feedback on what you guys did and didn't like.

Based on the edge before they started dating.

Enjoy :)

It was a stinking hot day on the edge. What better excuse than for the gang to take a day off and go for a dip?

"Yeah but personally," Fishlegs started. "I think the calibrations are completely out and when you go to put your theory to the test, it isn't going to work, Hiccup." He stated as the pair walked towards the water hole.

"I disagree." Hiccup challenged. "No! Because it does work! If you remember-" He was stopped as the two were covered with a huge splash of water.

"Snotlout!" The two whined.

"Why would you come to the waterhole if you didn't want to get wet?" He shouted back when he surfaced.

"Whatever." Hiccup mumbled.

Fishlegs and Hiccup dropped their stuff on the floor and took their shirts off, dumping them on the floor as well.

"Anyways," Hiccup said as if he was going to continue, but he didn't.

Fishlegs followed his gaze. Astrid. "Just friends?" He mocked.

"Shut up!" Hiccup swung an arm at Fishlegs before fully returning his attention to his friend.

"Okay I'm sorry what were you saying?" He prompted.

"If you remember the main issue with the last flight suit was me not the flight suit." He paused, waiting for a nod from Fishlegs. "So, if you just add a little more stability, which is what I've done- AH" Hiccup felt a cold hand push his back, sending him flying into the water. When he resurfaced he heard a familiar giggle. "Astrid!" He jokingly whined out to her. She gracefully dived in after him.

"Why are you standing on the edge of a cool water hole on a hot day!? Why aren't you in the water?" She justified.

"I was talking to Fishlegs about the flight suit." He explained, gesturing to Fishlegs who was gently lowering himself into the water. Astrid rolled her eyes at the mention of a new flightsuit and swam to the twins.

"I think your 'just friends vibe' is reciprocated." Fishlegs nudged. Hiccup rolled his eyes. "Do you like her?" He leaned towards Hiccup.

"What? No. Like I said, just friends." Hiccup clarified.

"Would you kiss her?"

"I have kissed her."

Fishlegs rolled his eyes and gave Hiccup that look. That look when your friend is so incredibly disappointed in you.

"Well I guess she's kissed me." He corrected.

"That wasnt why I rolled my eyes." His bestfriend chuckled.

"You can kiss platonically!" Hiccup threw up his arms in defense.

"No you can't!" Fishlegs broke out into laughter. "So if Astrid, platonically, kissed Snotlout? That would be fine too?" He nudged.

Hiccup snapped his head around to look at Fishlegs.

"So maybe you can't make out with someone platonically?" Fishlegs shrugged.

"I never said we made out!" Hiccup placed a hand on his heart dramatically.

"Again, you're kind of missing the point." Fishlegs leaned against the rock behind him. "Just admit you like her Hiccup!" Fishlegs half whined.

"Admitting that doesn't change anything though. We are just friends. She just wants to be friends with me. I've spent way too much of my life chasing her and getting rejected. She doesn't like me back Fishlegs." Hiccup leaned against the same rock.

The pair leaned in silence for a little, watching the twins and snotlout vacate the water. "So she's never kissed anyone else." Fishlegs began. "She didn't push anyone else into the water." He continued. Astrid began to slowly swim in their direction. Fishlegs gestured to Hiccups rather impressive build. "And you're not the helpless, scrawny wimp you used to be."

"Are you talking about Hiccup being a wimp?" Astrid surfaced.

Fishlegs giggled and left the pair in the water, joining the rest of the gang on the grass.

"Hello M'lady." Hiccup greeted as Astrid invaded his personal bubble ever so slightly.

"Hello Hiccup." She looked up at him. There was something about her having to look up at him that sent butterflied spinning in his stomach. "So what were you talking about?" She prodded.

"The flightsuit." He lied.

"Ughhh you and that flightsuit!" She floated away from him.

"What's your problem with the flightsuit?" He pushed off the rock to follow her into the water.

"It never ends well Hiccup. You have a dragon, fly on him! You don't need to go get hurt every five seconds." She became vertical in the water again, dancing on her tip toes in the deeper water.

"So you care about my safety?" He questioned, smirking, also standing up in the water. "That's so not like you, Astrid." He joked, inching towards her.

"No! I do not care about your safety Hiccup Horrendous Haddock the third." She pressed her pointer against his bare chest, pushing away. He immediatly floated back towards her as if magnetized by her.

"Mmhmm." He hummed. He placed an open arm out for her. She leaned on him to help hold her head out of the water. "You, Astrid Hofferson, are very special." He mumbled. Astrid didn't break eye contact. Hiccups hand tightened on her arm. Suddenly he yanked her down under the water.

"Hiccup!" She screamed before being dragged under.

Fishlegs looked up from his book to see the two mucking around in the water. He spent the rest of the afternoon periodically mumbling variants of
'just friends my ass' to himself.
