Hiccstrid Modern One Shots

Cute Coffee Boy

Astrid has a small crush on a cute boy who comes into her coffee shop and destiny had plans for them in the form of a freak rainstorm.

She didn't understand it, why did she keep writing on this empty coffee cup? He hadn't arrived yet and he was also wait, but Astrid couldn't admit that he wasn't coming. He was always the highlight of her day... She never acted like this about a boy, he was just a guy who ordered coffee, sat by the window and left about 20 minutes later after having finished his coffee, but not before waving a shy goodbye to her as he left.

Yet he had not arrived yet. And he was late...

Astrid wrote another 'Hiccup' upon the coffee cup before rolling her eyes at her won actions and throwing the cup into the bin. It was ridiculous that she was so hung up on a boy in this way. She was being silly, he was a student just like her and was probably at his dorm revising. Like she should be doing instead of serving coffee. Her shift ended about 15 minutes ago, but her replacement hadn't showed, as well as her favourite customer, who was always the last customer she had to serve.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Heather yelled out as she came barging through the door, late for her shift and snapping Astrid back to reality as her mind had begun to wander about her late customer. Where could he be?

"Finally!" Astrid exclaimed, "Almost wondered whether you had fallen off the edge of the earth." Heather just rolled her eyes and entered the back to get changed into her work clothes. Astrid sighed and looked at the door to the street and felt her heart sink. It was only one day though. She cannot be so hung up on this boy! What was her problem?

"Your magical, mystery prince not show up?" Heather asked, appearing from behind her. Astrid turned in shock and surprise.

"What?" Astrid asked stoically.

"The man whose name you have been writing on coffee cups for the past 15 minutes I'm guessing." Heather answered with a small smirk. Astrid shrugged and tried to keep a stoic and nonchalant look upon her face.

"Nope. I don't get hung up on guys... Besides he's not my type." Astrid said proudly to Heather who just smiled in response and looked back over to the door with her smile widening.

"Well, that just breaks my heart milady..." A familiar voice called out from the direction of the door and Astrid's hands clasped together fiercely and catapulting the cup from out of her hands, in panic and nervousness she scrambled around on the floor attempting to pick up the cup and anything else off of the floor whilst Heather snickered behind her at her anxiousness.

"Dammit." Astrid cursed to herself as she fumbled around on tjhe floor before springing back up from the floor and planted herself behind the cashier. "Sorry about that. what can I get you?" But Hiccup didn't reply, he smiled (almost laughing) as he stared at her head. He then gently reached out a hand and extended it toward her head, Astrid flinched but relaxed once Hiccup's hand grasped something within her hair and pulled it free before showing it to her.

"You got something in your hair." He said smiling widely. Astrid laughed, her cheeks burned bright red from embarrassment and just turned away to make his coffee.

"Thanks..." She whispered, Hiccup just smiled before raising an eyebrow.

"I don't remember telling you what I want?" Hiccup questioned, he looked at her curiously as she slowly moved herself around, Heather still stood aside and watching the whole encounter.

"Well, I.... errrr.... Sorry.... What do you want?" Astrid asked politely as she stumbled for words. What was wrong with her? She never acted like this around anyone, let alone a guy. She wasn't even sure whether she had crush on him, or whether it was something more. She just couldn't explain it. It was like an unknown attraction she had for this dorky college student and she was uncontrollable with it.
