But...The Night Is Young!

Chapter Nineteen: The Aftermath

Chapter Nineteen: The Aftermath

"Astrid," I hear someone whisper. I groaned as I didn't want to wake up. I want to sleep more. "Astrid." I sighed and slowly opened my eyes to find this blinding light well...blinding me. "Astrid!"

"What?" I whined as I covered my hand over my eyes and relaxed when I saw darkness. "What was so important that you had to interrupt my sleep?"

"Uhm...we're both on my bed," the person aka. the person who interrupted my sleep said. That got my eyes wide open and sat up abruptly. I looked at the person who interrupted my sleep who was in fact Hiccup. I looked at the room we were in which looked like his bedroom.

"What?!" I exclaimed. "H-How did we end up here?!" 

"Well...I don't know either..." Hiccup replied. I panicked as how we both ended up here. All I remember was me going to a party and I was drinking....WOAH! I was drinking! Crap! No wonder I couldn't remember anything.

But wait...how come Hiccup is here with me? I widened my eyes as I came to one suggestion. No fucking way. Hiccup and I... I then looked down at myself and saw myself fully clothed. Whew! I'm still intact. 

"And no we didn't do...that," Hiccup stated. "I may be a jerk but I do not take advantages to drunk girls...plus I was also drunk last night."

I looked at him with a raising eyebrow. "How come you remember things last night?" I asked him. 

He shrugs. "All I remember was that we were all drunk, that's it." He sat on the edge of the bed and I sat next to him. "So you don't remember anything else also?"

I shook my head and smiled softly. "That's the consequences of drinking, I guess...that and a massive hangover." He chuckled along with me and smiled. 

I noticed his smile are different each time. One smile was soft that was when he's getting soft. One is a tight smile where he was to force one. The one right now, the happiness on his eyes when he smiles. 

"So you don't take advantages of girls?" I repeated of what he said a few minutes ago but asking it this time. 

He looked at me. "I may be a player but not that kind. I don't take the one where I can't give it back to them. It's just really wrong." 

I looked back at him and realised we were close that if one of us move closer, we would kiss. "So the jerk does have a heart," I stated softly as I looked at his eyes then dropped down to his lips. I should tear my gaze away from his plump lips but couldn't.

"He did," he said softly, feeling like he said it in whispers. "But someone took it and claimed it, making me love her." My heart quickened its pace.

I looked up at his green orbs. "Why aren't you trying to get your heart back?" I asked softly.

We both leaned in closer, our foreheads and nose touching. "Because I love being in love with her. I want to stay being in love. In love with you," he replied and with those words, my heart pounded faster. 

He said it again. He said 'I love you' again but in a different direction. I bit my lip. "H-Hiccup..." I was about to say the rest when he interrupted me. 

"Astrid, I love you, okay? I don't care if this is going too fast or we aren't meant to be but I feel we are supposed to be. I love you and I will say this a thousand times and I will not stop until you feel the same about me. Well, maybe I still won't stop after you feel the same but you get what I mean..." he mumbled.

I bit my lip hard. What was I suppose to say? I don't want to lie to him by saying that I love him but it's not technically lying... I like him. There is some fondness in here but I don't know if it's enough for...love. I sigh softly. "I-I'm sorry Hiccup," I said softly. "I need to go..."

And with that, I stood up and walked out of his room without glaring back at him. I sighed again before making my way down the house and out of it. I then went back home.

"Where have you been?" my uncle surprised me with a question as I opened the door and walked in. "I haven't seen you since last night." He stood in front of the door, his arms crossed. "I was worried sick!"

I rolled my eyes. "As if you cared," I mumbled as I made a beeline to the stairs but my uncle had something in mind. 

"Hold it there young lady," he said as he stopped my walk. "Where have you really been?"

I groaned. "Do I really have to tell you? It's not like you would care anyway. Only thing you care is your own reputation and since I am a part of that you have to pretend you do care."

He widened his eyes by my outburst. "Where did you get this all from, Astrid? This is not like me, you know that."

I sighed, filtering out his words and rolled my eyes. 

"Now, I'm going to pretend this conversation didn't happen and I'll tell you good news," he said softly as I turned to him. Good news? "You said you didn't like the contract with the son of Stoick the Vast so I got you another contract to choose from so this time you have a choice."

It was my turn to widen my eyes. "Who's the other guy?" I asked.

"He's another heir to the throne of a tribe. Powerful, yes but not like Berk but near there. The chief's son has come of age of course and is willing to take any maidens," he answered my answer. 

This is it. I could choose the other guy and leave this. But Hiccup...and also Stormfly... I would leave these people behind me. Oh crap, I have a lot of thinking to do...
