An Extraordinary Girl

Twenty-one

Hiccup's POV
I towered over Tom, him looking me in the eyes like he wanted me dead. I guess you could say I had the same exact look in my eyes.

"What are you gonna do about it," Tom whispered to me," it's not like you could take me."

That's where he is wrong, he might be more built than me but I can easily outsmart him in a fight.

"Knock it off you two, your acting like kids."

I turn my head to see Astrid fuming.

I look at Tom and step back.
"That's what I thought-"

"Shut the hell up Tom. Nobody cares what you have to say, can't you get that through your thick skull?" Astrid says losing her patience.

"Clearly someone cares," he said gesturing to me.

"Yeah, because he's a good person and actually gives a damn about what people say to me, because that's how much he cares," she said rolling her eyes." I'm f*cking leaving," Astrid says as she starts to pick up her stuff.

I start to pick up my stuff and pack the truck up.

Everyone packs up and gets into the truck. Astrid gets in the drivers seat and I get in the passenger seat. She starts the truck and drives off.

The ride is silent and I can tell the twins feel weird. I mean I don't blame them Astrid was radiating rage.

Time skip

After dropping the twins off Astrid parks her car in her driveway. I go to undo my seatbelt be Astrid stops me," why did you say that."

"Say what?" I ask confused

"All that stuff to Tom."

"Well honestly, he pissed me off to disrespect you like that. You don't deserve that from anyone," I said making eye contact.

"Well thanks..." she says putting her head down.

"What's wrong?" I ask arching a brow.

She looks around us and then back to me," can I tell you inside?"

"Your house or mine?" I ask pointing to our houses next to each other.

She smiled and rolled her eyes." Mine. Jacks at swim practice and dads and work."

"Oh." I say feeling suspicious.

She just told me nobody was home and that she wants me to come inside. I don't know if I'm ready for this... well I mean who says it's that? She could just wanna talk... God's you're so dumb Hiccup.

Astrid gets out of the truck and I do the same. I follow her inside and take my shoes off. She walks downstairs to her room and holds the door for me. She closes it behind her and leans on the door.

She stares at me for a solid minute. I just blink a few times and pat the sides of my legs not knowing what to do.

"I haven't had sex before."

I choke on my saliva," uh... w-what?"

"I'm a virgin Hiccup," she says still making eye contact.

"O-oh... um... t-that's n-nice," I say as my cheeks start to burn.

"So I... didn't sleep with anyone sophomore year," she says.

"Well I-It's none of my business , and you d-don't seem like the t-type to do that."

" I just don't want Tom putting the wrong image of me in your head... because that's not who I am... I'm a virgin and I haven't really done anything with anyone before," she says with her cheeks getting red.

"Why are you telling me this?" I finally ask.

"People tend to run out of my life because of Tom... he tells them stuff about me that isn't true and then everyone has this idea that I'm a whore or something and want nothing to do with me," she says finally.

"He does what?" I ask starting to get angry.

"He just f*cks with my life sometimes but it's fine," she says.

I press my hands on the wall on both sides of her head," he should not get away with hurting you like that."

She rests her hands on my chest,"Hiccup it's fine, he hasn't chased you away yet so-"

I cut her off," he's a piece of shit and shouldn't be able to speak a word to you or of you."
She stares at me, she looks deep into my eyes as if she can read my mind.

"Please Hiccup..."she whimpers.

"Please what?" I ask in almost a whisper.

"Don't do anything rash... I don't want to see you or anyone else get hurt," she says as her eyes start to water.

My eyes widen.
I scared her... I messed up big time... I didn't mean to upset her I'm just mad that he says that shit about her when it's not true...

"I'm sorry..."

"What?" She asks as her voice cracks.

"I'm sorry I upset you today," I say letting my arms fall.

She smiled," you made me happier than anything today."

I smile," yeah but I also upset you a bit."

She puts her hands on my forearm and slides them down to my hands. She plays with my fingers and brings them up to her face. She pressed them to her lips and softly kissed my fingers.

"What are you doing?" I say chuckling.

"Loving on the guy that makes me happy, what else?" She says giggling.

I smile and pull my hands from her making her frown. I grab her waist and pick her up and she wraps her legs around my waist. I look up at her face and kiss her chin. I walk over to her bed and lay her back gently on the bed. Her legs start to loosen on my waist and I slide my head down to kiss her neck and collar bone.  She runs her hands through my hair and down my back. Her hands gently touch my spine sending shivers down it.

Astrid's POV
His soft lips feel like warmth on a cold day and I melt into it. He grabs my waist and runs his hands up and down my sides watching the placement of his hands. He gives my sides a light squeeze,"mhm."

I feel him smile against my cheek as he makes his trail of kisses up to my face. "I love when you do that," he says softly.
