An Extraordinary Girl

Seventeen

Hiccups POV

Astrid and I made our way to the Bronco to get a towel. She held my hand the whole way there too. It was weird but I'm not complaining. My nose is still bleeding from when I hit the water.

Astrid opens the door and pushes me into the backseat. She crawls in after me almost crawling over me. She reaches over the seat and grabs a towel from the back.

She wraps the towel around my shoulders and then grabs a paper towel.  She holds it to my nose.

I go to take it but she smacks me.," no you just dry yourself off."

I do as she says  and dry what I can.

She takes the paper towel off of my nose and wipes the rest of the blood away.

"Are you ok?" She asks checking me over.

"Yeah I'm fine now, thanks to you," I say looking into her blue eyes.

"Don't thank me, you were going to drown. I was just the only one who took action. I'm just glad you're alive," she says.

I feel a shiver run down my spine as the wind blows over us.

Astrid has the top of the Bronco off since we were going on a sort of beach type day.

"Are you cold?" She asks.

"Just a little," I say with a shrug.

"Well then come here," she says putting her back against the side of the seat.

She outstretches her arms for me to sit in her lap. I slowly lay in her lap and rest my head against her chest.

She wraps her arms around me  and rests her chin on my head.

I feel like a child and she's my mother.

Never mind that sounds really weird.

Time skip

Astrid And I have been-I guess you could call it cuddling in the backseat of the Bronco for about 30 minutes. I mean don't get me wrong I'm enjoying this, but I don't know why she's acting like this.

"Um..... Astrid?" I asks

"Hm?" She hums.

"What are we doing exactly?" I ask.

"What do you mean?" She asks raising a brow.

I sit up fully,"we're cuddling Astrid."

"If you knew what we were doing then why would you ask the question?" She asked with a smile.

"Well, because......." I feel my cheeks start to get hot.

My heart starts to feel warm and sort of hurt.

Am I about to do this?

I take a moment and just look at her face. Her beautiful unique face bestowed upon me. Her soft skin glowing as always. I can't help myself...

I cup Astrid's face with one hand and pull her waist towards my body with the other.

"H-hiccup?" She says as her eyes get bigger as they search mine for answers. Her face gets more red by the second.

I just stare into her beautiful blue eyes. I glance down to her soft pink lips, how I urge to taste them.

I bite my bottom lip.

Embarrassment is only temporary...

My lips collide with Astrid's. I close my eyes and pull her as close as I can. I turn my head slightly.

I don't let our lips separate for a moment.

She doesn't kiss me back, but she doesn't pull away.

That's means this is ok right? No...

I pull away for air and take a deep breath.

Astrid's eyes are still wide open, she stares at me in awe.

Astrid's POV

Hiccup just kissed me......

HICCUP JUST KISSED ME

He stares at me, waiting for me to say something.

I don't know what to say. 

I look at his lips and find myself sliding my hands into his locks of hair. I press my lips against his soft ones. The burst in my chest overwhelms me.

I tilt my head and he does the same. He pulls my legs under him.

He hovers over me and continues to kiss me. My fingers play with his hair as he continues to kiss me.

He rests his hand on my waist. With the other above my head holding him up.

I let my hand roll down from his hair down to his chest. Then the realization that Hiccups shirtless hits me. His chest is firm.

Makes sense since he is so skinny but still.

He pulls away for breath. He rests his forehead on mine and we stare into each others eyes. His green eyes make me feel some sort of way. I feel warm and safe with him.

"Astrid Hofferson," He says after some pants,"I have a really big crush on you."

I let out a laugh after a pant," Hiccup Haddock, I also have a crush on you."

He smiles and kisses my nose.

I giggle," God's how I've wanted to tell you that."

"I could say the same thing to you," He says kissing my cheeks.

"Oh I can already see what type you are," I say while I giggle.

"What's that suppose to mean?" He asks with an arched brown and a goofy smile.

"It means I'm going to enjoy this," I say with a smile.

Hiccup smiles with a small laugh, he tucks his face into my shoulder.

He stays there for a second.

"What are-" I stop my sentence when hiccup looks up at me.

His nose starts to bleed again.

"Oh shoot," I say sitting up along with hiccup.

I grab another paper towel and hold it to his nose.

He grabs it from my hand and holds it.

"Well isn't this romantic?" He says sarcastically with a nasally  voice.

Well more than usual nasally voice.

I giggle,"oh yeah, bloody noses are so hot." I say fanning my face.

"I could taste that sarcasm," he said with a laugh." Nope never mind that's just blood."

I start laughing at him.

"What's so funny?" He asks pouting.

"You have a paper towel up your nose and you're already making jokes, what do you mean what's so funny.

He rolls his eyes and starts laughing with me.
