Hiccstrid Modern One Shots

Still Standing

Hiccup was bullied as a teenager in school, but Astrid was nice to him (popular). At a school reunion Hiccup was being hit on by every girl(no one recognised him) apart from Astrid who recognised him (secretly friends), Hiccup is a powerful attractive business man and Astrid is a lawyer. At end of reunion Hiccup asks Astrid to accompany him to a hill and finally admits his feelings for her.

It was just another day for Hiccup. He hated it, but it was something he just had to do if he wanted to do what his father wanted of him. Hiccup had wanted to become an artist but knowing that didn't pay so well showed him that he should just follow in his father's footsteps.

Astrid was walking along the corridor, she was checking back over her folder before finally arriving at her locker and placing the folder inside. She soon heard the locker beside hers open with reluctance and upset. Astrid smiled and leaned around her locker door to peer at the guy on the other side.

"Hey Hiccup." She smiled at him, Hiccup looked up and smiled at the beautiful blonde beside him. She was literally the only reason for him to wake up every morning and go to school. She is the only one who has truly care for him, who actually smiled when she saw him.

"Hey Astrid, how are you?" He asked smiling. Astrid peered back into her own locker and smiled, tucking a small strand of hair behind her ear. Shrugging she replied,

"Eh, as good as I can ever be really." She laughed quietly, Hiccup laughed with her.

"Same here really..." Hiccup replied back. Astrid closed her locker door and leaned against it as she continued to talk to Hiccup. He continued to sort out the papers within his own locker.

"Oh no... What happened now?" Astrid asked stoically.

"Oh, you're gonna love this! I wake up this morning and the sun is shining. So I saunter down to breakfast thinking all is right with the world and I get ----" Hiccup is suddenly cut off by Heather arriving and calling out to Astrid.

"Astrid! Hey!" Astrid turned around and smiled at her friend, but her face still seemed sad when she turned around because she knew that when she'd turn around her friend would be gone.

She was right.

Hiccup had vanished into the crowd behind them and disappeared from Astrid's view. She just wished he'd understand that she actually wanted to hang out with him and didn't care about her social status. Hiccup was ashamed about himself and knew that everybody hated him deep inside and so didn't try and please people. Astrid actually liked him because of that, he didn't care about what people thought about him because he knew there was no changing their minds.

"Bye Hiccup..." She whispered into the crowd that he'd disappeared into. She then turned back to Heather, and smiled brightly.

"Who were you talking to? Was it that stupid dork... errr... I forget his name..." Heather stuttered and fumbled. Astrid rolled her eyes.

"Hiccup..." Astrid finished for her. Heather rolled her eyes and laughed lightly.

"Of course you'd know his name, you know every guy's name in this school." Heather replied jokingly. That fact wasn't particularly true, she just knew some of the people that Heather didn't. She just really liked Hiccup, much more than she would ever let on, or admit. "So come on then, we got to meet up with Eret and Snotlout before their big game later on!"

Astrid tagged along, like she always did, and cheered on for her friends' friend's and decided that she'd much rather be in the library right then. She did have some exams coming, as did everyone. The finals were due soon and she was hoping to get into a good college and not have to strip (like Heather would) in order to get by.
