2nd part of Christmas, coming up!!

~~~

Hiccup

I can't believe it! My crush is a one of a kind girl. I actually hate girly girls, and I kinda assumed that she's one of those, but I stand corrected.

"Wow..." is all I could react.

"Oh..." and she sat up. "Ahm Merida, your dad's bestfriend's daughter."

"I'm Hiccup, and I already know." I told her.

She widened her eyes. "How?" She asked, shocked.

"I often times see you at school." I answered, sitting on the edgeof her bed.

"Huh? Aye didn't know ye study at Germanium High." She said, still shocked.

"Yeah. I'm more of a library dude." I told her, shrugging.

"Library boy?" She asked.

"Yeah. You know... a dude who always stay at library..." I tried to explain clearly, but I think that does work out.

"Oh, so yer the library boy the other gurls talking about." She said and I nodded.

She nodded. "Starting at January, why don't we become friends at school?" She asked me, out of blue.

"Sure." I answered, smiling like a dork. Thor, whack my head with your hammer! Am I dreaming!?

**door knock**

"Merida? Hiccup? Ye both there? Go downstairs for lunch." Merida's mum said from outside her room.

"Yeah mum." Merida said and we can hear footsteps walking away.

She stood up from her bed. "Well... let's go downstairs."

I nodded and followed her behind.

**downstairs**

We sat down next to each other on the big table.

I glanced at our parents and they're all talking to each other except my mom. She gestured Merida and winked at me.

I groaned and she giggled and talked with the others.

**night**

We've become close to each other more, I mean, I made friends with her just in one day. And I wish that won't ruin.

"Okay. Gift giving time." Dad announced.

Oh, no. I forgot to give Merida a gift, and there's no time to buy now. There's no gifts selling nearby.

"Hey Hic." Mer called me. She handed me a gift wrapped box. "This is for ye."

I was ashamed of myself for not giving her a gift. I nodded and opened the box, revealing a green shirt with "I'm adorable" written at it.

I tried to smile, but still ashamed. "Thanks, Mer." I whispered.

"Yer welcome." She responded.

I looked up and something disturbing caught my attention. Mistletoe. I gulped. I remembered about the fact that you have to kiss the person who's with you underneath it.

Do I have to kiss Merida? No. This might ruin our friendship. Suddenly out of nowhere, I pulled her against me and crashed her lips against mine. Gawd, Her lips are so soft and sweet. They're like cotton candy.

I suddenly remembered what we're doing so I pulled away and she stared at me with wide eyes.

I glanced at our background and our dads are jaw hanged, and our moms are smiling.

I looked back at Mer. "I-I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..." I stuttered at words while my cheeks are turning redder.

"It's just-- Ugh!!" I tried to explain but I just let out a groan and ran away from her house.

"Hiccup! Wait!" I heard her shouting but I ignored and went inside the car and was about to drive away until I remembered that the car key is at dad's hand.

"I... hate... myself..." I said between hitting my head against the steering wheel.

I heard a knock from the car window, and I looked up to see her. I sighed and rolled the window opener. "Hey..." I said, not having an eye contact on her.

"What happened to ye? Why did ye ran away?" She asked me.

"You gave me a gift for Christmas, but I don't have one for you. But then, I saw a mistletoe above us, and that instantly made me kiss you. Merida, I don't want to ruin our friendship. I'm so sorry about that, and I know you hate me right now. I just... gained feelings for you." I explained and apologized.

She snickered and burst out laughing. I blinked innocently. Why is she laughing?

"Hic, ye know, Ah've been having a crush on this... nerd guy, and since he's a nerd, aye don't think he had feelings for meh too. When we turned 18, he's still known as dork, bookworm, dink, swot, weenie, even a LIBRARY BOY! So that guy Ahm talking about... is ye. Aye like ye for a long time, and ahm just shocked when ye kissed meh under the mistletoe, but Aye love it!" She told me.

My eyes widened. Does she mean all of those?

"And Aye don't care about having presents in Christmas..." She told me.

"Why?" I Asked her, tilting my head a bit in confusion.

"Because Aye told Santa to be with ye in Christmas."
