More Than You Think

Summary: Astrid loves Hiccup but he thinks they are just friends

Hiccup and I have been friends for years but I've always wanted us to be more. I can't help myself! Whenever I see him I just want to kiss him, and hold him close.

You've got to understand right?

But I know that he doesn't feel the same way about me as I do about him. (That made sense right?) I've been the friend that he can vent to when his girlfriends have been b***hes to him, I'm the one who keeps sending him presents on Valentine's Day to give him hope that there's someone out there who loves him, (me) and I've always been there after break ups and relatives deaths and well, everything!

Hiccup won't feel the same about me and I've accepted that, but it doesn't keep me from trying to get him to like me...

It was a late Wednesday morning and it was break. I was sat alone on the field, away from everyone, and I was studying. It was quiet and peaceful, that is until the peace was disturbed.

"Hey Astrid..." I recognised that annoying voice from anywhere.

"Hello Snotlout." I greeted him without looking up from my books. He sat down beside me and tried to shuffle closer to me, but as he did I grabbed his arm and twisted it backwards.

"Ow! You're twisting my arm!" He yelled out in pain. I leaned closer,

"You come any closer and it won't be the only thing that gets twisted off!" I pushed him away and he tried to scramble away, but he was stopped by a huge shadow.

"There a problem?" A low, friendly voice spoke out and sent shivers down Snotlout's spine.

"No problem Hiccup." Snotlout stuttered out. Hiccup leaned closer.

"Good." Hiccup whispered before stepping aside and allowing Snotlout to scramble away.

After watching the boy manage to get back on his feet and waddle over to his friends, Hiccup smiled to himself and sat down beside Astrid.

"You know I had that covered." I said to break the silence.

"I know, it's just fun to mess with Snotlout." Hiccup joked. I laughed whilst tucking a piece of hair behind my ear.

Why do I do that?!

"So, what did you want?" I asked which earned a questioning glance from Hiccup.

"What?" Hiccup asked confused. I smiled at his expression.

"You obviously didn't come here just to chase Snotlout away. So?" I said slurring my 'so' out in order to get him to speak. Hiccup sighed,

"I came over here to ask you, whether you...." Hiccup couldn't get the words together. My breath caught in my throat, what was he gonna ask me?

"Yes?" I asked scared. What was it? I had to know.

"Whether you think Heather likes me?" Hiccup asked worried. My heart sank, I felt my fists ball up.

"I guess." I said through gritted teeth. "Maybe, or maybe not. I don't know." I said bitterly. Hiccup sensed my bitterness and looked at me with curious eyes.

"Are you okay?" Hiccup asked, he seemed concerned about me which was sweet. But I'm still mad at him.

"I'm fine. But if you care so much about what she thinks about you then ask her yourself!" I yelled at him. I packed up all my things and stormed away. I felt Hiccups eyes follow me away, I did feel bad about yelling at him. But I was still upset.

That day I avoided Hiccup as much as I could, even though he tried to speak to me. I just didn't want to talk to him, not today.

But I fell into my worst luck when Heather walked up to me.

"Hey Astrid." Heather greeted me. Even though she was one of the popular girls she knew that I was friends with Hiccup so she talked to me about Him mainly.

"What do you want to know?" I asked stiffly. Heather smiled and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear, she stole that from me.

"Okay... Look, I wanted to know whether Hiccup likes me or not." I sighed. Heather smiled at me.

"I guess he does." I said, I sighed again and felt tears well up in my eyes.

"Awww, Astrid. You like him don't you?" Heather teased. "Little Astrid has a crush on a boy..." Heather carried on.

"Heather..." I said quietly trying to make her shut up.

"And you know what the funny thing is? He will never like you back!" Heather said. My eyes began to rain tears and I felt my fists ball up. I quickly raced out the room, passing Hiccup in the corridor as I went.

I went straight home. Never going back.

***

I laid in my bed with my eyes filled with tears and my sheets wet with tears also. My hair was ragged and torn, my head ached.

Heather was right. I mean why did I have to like that guy? Why did I have to like Hiccup? I was so confused and upset.

Knock knock.

I sat upright on my bed. Where had that come from? I had to know. I looked around my room but as I looked over at my window I saw a small silhouette outside. I pulled back to curtains to see none other than...

"Hiccup?!" I asked. What? I carefully opened the window and allowed him to slip in.

"Thanks." Hiccup answered as he clambered into my room. I smiled as I saw his face was covered in dirt and a couple of leaves were tied into her hair.

"Hiccup." I asked as I began to take the leaves out of his hair. "What are you doing here?" I asked again.

"I came here to talk about something with you..." I tensed up. What was Hiccup gonna ask me? "I've been hearing rumours..." Hiccup continued. I tensed up, stupid Heather.

"What kind of rumours?" I knew that they were going to be about me but I ignored asking that.

"Well, they say that, er... That er... That you may... Like me?" Hiccup finally said and looked at me hopefully. I couldn't tell whether what he was hoping was that it was true or whether it wasn't. I couldn't tell. So, I told him the truth.

"It's true Hiccup." I answered standing up from my bed and walking over to my window in order to avoid Hiccups stares. "I've liked for a while and I know that you don't feel the same and well... Well... I..." I was at a loss for words as Hiccup was stood beside me and had placed his hand upon mine. I froze.

"I know. I guess I would be lying if I said I didn't feel the same way..." Hiccup whispered gently to me. I smiled and looked at him lovingly.

"What do you mean?" I asked, I mean he never acts like he likes me anyway. So why would he say that.

"Astrid, I've liked you ever since we met. But when I found out that you didn't feel the same I tried to distract myself by dating other girls who were interested in me...

"But after a while I guess I just forgot about my feelings for you yet when I heard that you liked me all the feelings that I'd suppressed came bursting out at the seams and I realised that I still like you." Hiccup explained, I felt my heart melt as he spoke. He needn't say anymore, he's said all he needs. He likes me back and that's all that matters to me.

"Oh Hiccup..." I breathed before I quietly placed my lips upon his for a second and then embraced him gently. Hiccup smiled, this was perfect because I like him more than he thinks.
