They say love comes in many shapes and forms. That's what the string was, tying you to people who were important in your life. Strings in different colours all tied to your pinky finger. A couple were wound around my right pinky. Blue for Elise my first best friend, green for Heather, deep purple for Ruffnut, pastel blue for Fishlegs, a bright orange for Snotlout, yellow for tuffnut and the most vibrant red for Hiccup. That's the thing however. Red is for the person you are supposed to love the most, the other colours represent friendships. That's the problem for me. My string for hiccup is red, but his string for me is blue, the string turns purple in the middle and then is blue on his side. Meaning I'm meant to love him, yet he isn't to love me.
The universe would never have anything in my favour. Elise always said that all my luck would turn around and give me what I wanted. A red string that connects me to a boy who only is to love me as a friend. Basically it means I need to get the biggest house and a fuck tonne of money. It was one of the rarest things ever and of course it was going to happen to me. I stare angrily at the red string. Maybe one day it will turn a different colour and another red one will appear. Can you cut a string of fate? Suppose I could always try.
"Astrid, I know your pinky has pissed you off but pay attention. I feel like I'm raging to a brick wall." Elise sighs.
"Oh sorry." I half heartily apologise.
"Like I was saying. Why do people all make the girl that one boy had a connection with the bad guy? I'm pretty sure Allura would adore Keith and Lance getting together. Also Sharron willingly helped Steve recuse Bucky. I doubt she'd do anything to him."
Elise continues to ramble on. My brain blocks her out once again. The red string mocks me. Like it does everyday and even more so when I'm close to Hiccup. The purple change and blue string on his pinky. Opening my drawer I spot the pencil case that holds a pair of scissors. I could try and cut that string. Maybe it would fall away and I'd have tiny piece of thread on my pinky. Hiccup would be the one to trail the string away with him. Elise string waves slightly, meaning she's moving her hands around.
"Elise?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you reckon I could cut my strings?"
Looking at her face I see shock. She fiddles with one of her strings I can't see. We only can see the strings that connect us to people. Taking a wild guess, it's her red one, the one that connects her to Darren. He lives in Canada and she tells me when they FaceTime, their string goes through the screen not stretching half way across the world.
"Uh I don't think you can." She says.
"Well I want to."
"Maybe his colour is red." She tries.
"Friendship strings don't change colour mid string Elise."
She fiddles with her hair.
"I'm going to try."
I pick up the pencil case and pull out the scissors. Opening them up I snip the red string. It falls to the ground making a shock go through me.
"Astrid what have you done?"
"Cut my ties."

Hiccup stands at the school entrance. A sad blue string lays next to him, the end tinged purple.
"What did you do?" He ask, voice cracking dangerously.
"Cut the string. I'm sorry but I couldn't deal with the pain of looking at that string and knowing you aren't ever going to love me back."
"Astrid, you're not supposed to cut the string ever. You've killed our relationship."
"What relationship? You only think of me as a friend."
"Astrid the reason why you had the red string and I didn't is because I'm ace. I can't love you."
"Oh."
"Yeah oh. You can love me but I can't."
"I'm sorry."
"I know. Do you still have the knot?"
I nod and hold out my pinky. He picks up the severed end and tied it badly onto my pinky again.
"We can try."
I nod and he smiles.
