To Kellen: Yes, you did call it! XD Nothing happened (not to mention the fact that I'm not allowed to date) but thank you for the support! 3
"So, Astrid," Hiccup asked, eating a dorito, and then offering her one when she glanced at the bag, "how was your service tonight?"
They were getting ready to leave. The wedding was over; it had been a long night. It was nearly midnight, and Astrid (although she was embarrassed to say) had caught the bouquet when Felicity threw it. First, Rosie had teased her for a good five minutes, and Hiccup teased her for the next five. They had never spoken to each other, but the blonde had been ready to throttle them both.
But now she wished Hiccup was still teasing her.
Because she wouldn't see him after tonight. Unless someone else she knew got married here. But why would Hiccup still be working here? He had even told her he planned on getting a better job soon, and she trusted that someone as smart as him would be able to.
"Impeccable." She grinned, but that was to hide the painful grimace. "Hey, listen, it was fun hanging out with you tonight."
A smile lit up on Hiccup's face and she wanted to half laugh half cry because it was such a cute smile that she wanted to see again.
"You too." He nudged her arm. "I don't get many friends at parties here."
She held her hand up. "You got me."
Rosie appeared out of nowhere like she usually did and snapped. "Astrid, aren't you gonna get a picture with the rest of us?"
"In a minute," she sighed, "Hiccup, I just wanted to say -"
"Oh gosh! Have you still not asked for his number?"
"Rosie!" Hiccup and Astrid both flared red, and in that moment, there was no one else she wanted to throttle more than her cousin.
"Oh, come on. You've been spending all your time with him whenever he's free, and the dope's face lights up like a Christmas tree whenever you get near. Are you honestly telling me that you, Astrid Hofferson, have not asked him out yet?"
Astrid Hofferson did not know what to say to that.
Rosie rolled her eyes. "Here. Let me - I have to do everything around here, I swear." She stood in front of Hiccup and he took a step back, reasonably intimidated, as Rosie did a very good impression of Astrid's voice. "Can I have your number? Great, let's start a family."
Astrid facepalmed.
And with that, Rosie left.
"You don't have to worry about that," she said quickly. He looked like he had just been run over by a bus, and her heart fell. "That's just Rosie being Rosie. It's okay if you don't feel that way about me." She ran a hand through her hair. She really was going to kill her cousin.
Hiccup turned redder than he already was, and it was so cute that she wanted to kiss every single one of the freckles on his nose. "But...what if I do feel that way about you?"
Astrid gaped at him. He ran a hand through his hair, looking extremely sheepish, but one look into his eyes told her was being one hundred percent honest.
And that really was all she needed.
Astrid slammed her lips on his, delighted that he wasted no time in kissing her back. She wrapped her arms around his neck like she had wanted to all night and she felt her waist tugged closer, which did not help the fireworks that exploded in her stomach. Any passerby might have claimed they were eating each other's faces, but that didn't matter at all. Heck, she didn't even care if her mother saw. Let her see her daughter kissing the drink server.
They pulled away all too soon, and Hiccup asked with a playful smile, "How may I serve you, ma'am?"
She laughed, and responded with, "Give me the strongest thing you got," before his lips were attacking her again.
FINALLY THIS IS FINISHED! And there you go, happy ending because I THINK I suck at writing sad endings (read my oneshot Sacrifice and let me know: shameless self promotion). I hope you enjoyed: How May I Serve You, Ma'am? Tell me what you thought! 3
