An Extraordinary Girl

Fifteen

Hiccups POV

I zip up my bag and throw it over my shoulder. Today was the day everyone went to the quarry. I'm packed and ready for the day. Well physically that is.

I do a double check to make sure I have everything. I make my way down the stairs and halfway to the door my dad stops me. I turn to him as he finish's up doing the dishes.

"Hiccup," He says drying his hands.

"Yeah?" I say turning to him.

"Make smart decisions alright," he says looking me dead in the eyes.

"Yes dad I will make good decisions. You don't have to worry about me making bad ones," I say backing towards the door.

"Did I say I was done talkin' to ya?"

I stop moving and meet his glare," no."

"Have fun, but not to much fun." He says turning his back to me. "Ya can go now."

I turn and head for the door," see ya later dad!"

I close the door behind me and start making my way down the sidewalk to Astrid's truck.

"Hiccup!"

I look up and Ruffnut tackles me.

We hit the ground with Ruffnut landing on top of me.

I groan in pain once the concrete meets my back.

Ruffnut sits up and we meet eye contact,"you're a lot cuter up close."

"Um.... thanks?" I say not knowing how to respond to her.

"I guess I wouldn't know when Astrid's all over yo-" Astrid's hand covers Ruffnut mouth.

Astrid's POV

"I guess I wouldn't know when Astrid's all over yo-" I cut Ruffnut off before she can continue.

I feel my cheeks get warm as I pull her off of Hiccup. After I help Ruff I turn to Hiccup who is still on the ground.

"Are you alright?" I ask reaching my hand out for him to grab.

He looks at me for a second with a red face.

"What?" I ask raising a brow.

"N-nothing," he says grabbing my hand.

I pull him up and he falls into me.

I catch him and help him stand straight.

"You good?" I ask with a giggle.

"Yeah sorry just wasn't expecting you to pull me up that fast."

"Come on love birds! I'm gonna hurl!"

I turn my head to see Ruff and Tuff in the backseat of my Bronco. I roll my eyes as I  make my way to the driver side. Hiccup gets in the passenger side and puts his seatbelt on.

I glare at the twins through the rear view mirror," if one of you were to ever throw up in my car," I turn my body around to face them," nobody would ever find your bodies."

Ruff and Tuff gulped and Hiccup looked nervous too.

"Now, repeat after me," I command cracking my knuckles. " I will never throw up in Astrid's Bronco."

"I will never throw up in Astrid Bronco," the repeat.

"Good." I turn back to the steering wheel and start the truck." Now put on your seatbelts."

They do as I say I smile in victory.

"You're scary sometimes," Hiccup says in almost a whisper.

"Only sometimes right?" I ask.

"Yeah, only sometimes," he says as he starts to smile.

Time skip to where ever I feel like :)

"Astrid are we lost?"

I frown and grip the wheel," no Tuff were not lost. I won't repeat myself to you one more time."

Tuffnut is convinced that we are lost since we haven't gotten there yet. It's an hour drive considering the rout you have to take to get in. He's asked me this 8 times in the past 20 minutes.

"How sure?" He asked once more.

I can feel the steam coming out of my ears."PRETTY FUCKING SURE TUFF!"

The car goes silent.

"Sorry Tuff," I say with a sigh.

"Can you turn up the radio?" Ruffnut asks.

"Yeah," Hiccup says turning the knob on the volume.

I feel a small pressure on my leg.

I glance down and nearly have a panic attack.

Hiccups bare hand is on my fucking thigh.

HICCUPS BARE HAND IS ON MY FUCKING THIGH!

I can't help but blush at his action. I turn my head a little to see him looking at me with concern.

"You good?" He asked.

"Yeah I was just getting annoyed." I reply trying to keep myself together.

He  rests his elbow in the arm rest between us. He shifts his weight into it to get closer to me.

"Is the hand thing weird?" He asks in almost a whisper.

"I mean kind of, but it's not a big deal," I say looking him in the eyes for a second before looking back to the road.

"Sorry," He says taking his hand away. He doesn't move from the arm rest though.

After an awkward moment I decide to make the biggest decision of the moment.

I mean embarrassment is only temporary.

I grab his hand and put it back on my leg.

I refuse to look at him but he looks at me for a solid minute before turning his attention to the road.

I turn my blinker on and make a right.

"Look at that Tuff," I say as we pass the sign saying quarry with a arrow,"See we're not lost."

"Sorry for ever doubting you wise Astrid," he says with enthusiasm.

I smile knowing he's not upset with me. I didn't think he would hold it against me anyways. He's not the type of person to hold a grudge. But I was still really happy.

"Here we are," I say parking the car.

I make my way to the back and open the tailgate. I grab some of our stuff and hiccup comes around to help.

"Here let me get that," He says grabbing a bag.

"Welcome to my humble abode!"

I roll my eyes and turn around to see Tom.

"Hello Tom," I say rolling my eyes.

This day couldn't get any worse could it?
