Hiccstrid Modern One Shots

The Rebound

Astrid is going out with Eret but he cheats on her and she finds out. Hiccup is her friend and she goes to him to talk to him about it. Hiccup tries to make her feel better by telling her his break up story but lets slip that he was in love with someone else, but things get out of hand...

Hiccup was sat in his room, typing his project on his computer, he had only a week to finish it otherwise his teacher, Mr Gobber, was going to kill him. He needed to get a good grade in this project due to him being far behind on it.

In Edge University, Hiccup was in his dorm room alone at that moment although his roommate was out with her girlfriend. His roommate was called Astrid, she was the same age as Hiccup and had only met last year when they both first joined as freshmen. Hiccup had taken engineering whereas Astrid took psychology for her classes. Both became great friends as the months wore on, but Hiccup had developed feelings for Astrid who was dating another guy named Eret.

Hiccup had a girlfriend to try and forget about his feelings for Astrid but something happened to him to make him realise he could never forget about Astrid, and now the thoughts of her were starting to make him lose concentration.

"Damn it!" Hiccup yelled out as he threw himself back in his chair due to his mind wandering. Again. He hated thinking about Astrid as he knew it would bring him pain. He only wished he could be Eret.

Hiccup sighed loudly as he began to spin in his chair and concentrate on what he was suppose to be doing. But how could he concentrate, he looked at the clock and realised it was past 9 and Astrid should've been back by now. She never stayed out this late. Hiccup pulled himself back up and sulked over his computer and tried to type again, but nothing.

Suddenly a loud bang came from the door, as if someone had crashed into it. Hiccup jolted up and faced the door as he waited to see if it happened again. Instead the door knob turned and a rugged looking blonde female who wore a furious look upon her face. She turned sharply and looked at Hiccup with an angry look.

"You're a man right Hiccup!" She said loudly with anger in her voice. She slammed the door and sat on the bed across from Hiccup's desk where he was sat. Hiccup turned to look at her with a puzzled expression.

"Last time I checked." Hiccup answered. Astrid smiled lightly, then changed back to a serious expression.

"Do relationships with women mean SQUAT, to you people!" Astrid asked harshly.

"No, I mean... I know, I-I don't..." Hiccup answered shyly.

"Really, so as soon as we say that we are turning in for the evening, you take that as an invitation to go kissing other women?!" Astrid shouted, slamming her fists down onto the bed she was sat on. Hiccup looked at her sorrowfully.

"We're sorry..." Hiccup replied. Astrid sighed and buried her face in her hands.

"I'm sorry. It's just... How could I be so stupid?! I mean, am I stupid?" Astrid said through her hands, barely looking at Hiccup, who was watching her sadly. What happened?

"Are you okay?" Astrid gave him a dumb look. "Right, of course you're not okay... Stupid question." Hiccup said to himself. He got up and sat next to Astrid, but before he wrapped his arm around Astrid, he stopped himself and placed it by his side and just adjusted his place on the bed uncomfortably.

"I caught him cheating on me... With Heather." Hiccup sighed as Astrid began to explain what happened. "I said goodbye to him and began to leave. I must've left him alone for at least 5 minutes before heading back to find him because I still had his jacket on, and when I found him again... I saw him sucking Heather's face off right in front of me! I mean, am I not hot enough for him?!" Astrid told Hiccup, she could feel tears in her eyes and tried to fight them from coming out. She didn't want to be sad over Him. Hiccup meanwhile sighed and placed a hand upon Astrid's lap. She saw this and smiled widely, she then leaned her head onto his shoulder which caused Hiccup to freeze in place.
