Everything Was Blue (Jerida Fanfic)

Prologue

Everything was blue, not with me but with you

Hiccup took mah arm with a stern look on his face, as he said, "We need to talk."

Ay swear to Mor'du ... Ah could 'ave retorted an' replied with, "Gee, someone's havin' their time o' the month."

And yet ah held myself back. Ah knew when ter keep mah blasted mouth shut. Th' four words he said always meant somethang was up. If ay still muttered, it'd be more awkward than it already was, given he's a lad. Besides, although Hic is calm, he's scary when he's mad, an' ah prefer to not get killed an' stay alive, thank ye very much.

We headed towards th' Janitor's Closet, a place in school commonly used fer 'privacy', or so they say.

The lad pulled me inside an' shut the door loudly, it made me flinch. Ah couldn't see him an' he couldn't see me, but ah know fer sure he was facing me.

We stayed there in silence fer a long time, an' the fact that ah was nervous didn't help. It merely made seconds seem like minutes an' minutes like hours. Mah breathing was shaky, making me seem weak, somethang ah hated. Mah pride wouldn't let that, so ah began the conversation,

"Speak up, Hic."

He heaved out a sigh then started, "Be honest with me, Mer." Ah gulped befer nodding, then realized he couldn't see me so ah replied tha' I'd be.

"Do you still have feelings for me?"

Dang, well ah sure wasn't expecting that. Honestly ah was thinking he'd go direct an' just break it off, so Ah prepared mah self fer tha', but since it turned out different, ah'm speechless. Not knowing how ter respond, ah plainly mumbled, "No."

"What?"

"Ah said, NO."

"What do you mean, 'no'? NO, you don't have feelings for me anymore? Or No, you still like me?" The venom in his voice made mah fists clench in irritation. Ah don't know why ah'm so mad right now.

Despite th' mixture of anger, fear an' anxiety in me, ah still managed ter lie, "No, Hic. I still like ye, of course."

He was quiet fer a moment but continued, "Do you have feelings for Jack?"

Mah eyes widened an' mah lips quivered. Luckily, he can't see me or ah'm dead meat, that is if he still cares. Ah ain't hoping though. Ah better use the Don't-ye-trust-me card.

"What, ye think ah'm cheating on ye?"

"You're the one saying that."

Ah reddened, knowing he's right. "Ah ain't saying, ah'm asking fer sakes."

"I'd answer your question if you answer mine first."

This time ah narrowed mah eyes, "Ye little— Ah don't have feelings fer tha' lump, ye dumb lad."

"Well then, I never once thought you were cheating on me, Mer. Besides, there's no reason to." AH heaved out a sigh in relief an' was about to reply when-

"There never was a relationship to call what you're doing, 'cheating' anyway."

"W-what are ye saying?"

"I know you're lying to me, that you don't care about me and instead like my best friend. I know that you're hiding it, and you couldn't call that cheating because we never had a relationship. But I want to hear it from you, yourself and admit your feelings."

Ah gritted my teeth. Damn what happened ter him? He... changed. And yet ah knew it was a dead end fer me. If ah continued with mah lies, ah'd end up just ruining mah name.

"Fine," ah held mah head up high as I answered. "Aye, lad, ah like yer best friend, an' not ye, happy?" Ah was hoping tha' would break him down like how he was doing ter me since minutes ago, but mah plan backfired.

"Good," even in th' dark, ah knew he was smiling. "Because 'together' seems to be working with me and Astrid just fine."

With that, he opened the door an' left the room, left me an' most especially, he left the person he used ter be.

Aaa? Aaa? How's that for a start? Haha I hope y'all got the partial reference of the prologue's title. It's taken from Ashley Frangipane's song, 'Colors' which is what inspired me to write this story.

And lol, don't worry, this story is nothing like the song's music video. That would be disturbing if it would be. It merely gave me the idea and inspiration for writing this.

Hope you liked the first part. If you did, well hi-five bruh! Oh and please vote too. If you're feeling generous at the moment, leave a comment as well. I'd love it too if you'll share and spread this fanfic.
