Hiccstrid: An American Love Story

Chapter 16: Hangover

I get greeted good morning by the beaming sun shinning through my window. My heavy eyes slowly open as I take my sweet time to wake up. My head feels heavy and my whole body is just tired.

"Oh no here it comes!" I hear Heather shout next to me. She gets up quicker than I can comprehend and runs to the bathroom. Normally I would have shot awake by her actions but it feels like I my body is responding in slow motion.

Shortly after you can hear Heather throwing up in the bathroom. My body finally works with me and gets off my bed. I walk down holding my heavy head in my hands feeling like if I let go it would fall to the ground.

"Argh" Heather is still puking and I walk to her to hold her hair. I grab her raven hair in my right hand and soothes her back with the other. 
My apartment if filled with the sound of Ruff's snoring and Heather's puking sounds.
But it doesn't bother me since my brain isn't fully awake yet.

Heather finishes up and falls back on my bathroom floor. Her long hair surrounds her like a pillow.

"Come up babe I'm making coffee" I say as I stumble to the kitchen. Making coffee was a lot harder than I thought. The water takes forever and it feels like no matter how careful I am I keep on spilling coffee beans everywhere.
After a good try I got a pot of coffee ready for my girls.

"Ruff get up" I say nudding my sleeping friend on my bed.

"Wake uuup" I say agin this time crawling on top of her to wake her up. I end up laying down on her in extortion. She doesn't seem to bother and my weight doesn't wake her up.

"Come on"  I say pushing myself up before hitting her hard again with all my weight.

"Mgh, Ast-Astrid get off" she says morning grumpy as always. I continue to lie there actually feeling pretty comfortable.

"I made coffee" I say in a somewhat seductive tone knowing that coffee would get her up.
Her eyes suddenly shot up. I could feel her moving under me. I slowly get off to let her so she can wake up by herself. Her eyes are red and heavy. She's struggling to get up so I help her. With my hand on her back and one on the front I get her to sit on the bed.

"Okay I just want coffee nobody talk to me" she says morning sunshine as always.

Her feet meets the ground with a loud bump. She stands up and with a struggle gets her but to the kitchen chair.

"Drinking was a stupid idea" Heather says as I stumble down on a chair beside her. Her words make me remember something that happened last night. I look down on my kitchen table knowing that I need their advise. I pour Heather, Ruff and I a cup of coffee making my entire apartment smelling like a fresh pot of coffee.

"So girls I might have done something... stupid" I say not looking them in the eyes from pure embarrassment.

I quickly get Heather and Ruff's attention. They're tired eyes are looking at me in suspicion.

"What happened?" Heather asks. I'm not sure if it's curiosity, fear, excitement or maybe all three I can hear in her voice.

"Well..." I say as I collect my courage.

"Last night Hiccup and I..."

**Hiccup's POV**

"YOU DID WHAT?" Snotlout yells behind me his jaw was almost hitting the floor as he stood there mouth open and eyes wide.

"T-this is a private conversation" I say hoping that  he'll turn away and we don't have to talk about this.

"You tried to kiss Astrid" too late.
