February 14. 10:48 a.m.
Astrid was sitting on one of the extremely comfortable reclining chairs in the lounge room, her foot up and her head down, fixated on her phone.
Hiccup sneaked up behind her, putting a hand over her eyes ever so slowly.
"Oh, dear. Who might this be?" Astrid said with every ounce of sarcasm and robotic voicing she could muster.
"You're no fun," he replied, restoring her vision and handing her a small, wrapped box.
The blonde stared at it, surprised.
The brunet raised a brow, unconvinced. "Really? That's the best you got?"
Astrid stared at it some more before coughing out: "T-this was not-I didn't think you would bring a gift."
He furrowed his brows. "For my best friend in the entire world?"
"...I didn't get you anything."
"Yeah, you did."
"What?"
"Yourself."
She turned to him, annoyed. "That your best line?"
Hiccup shrugged. "Probs. Go on."
She did.
And she laughed.
"This is how you were gonna tell me? Other than, you know, telling me?" she said between laughs, looking at him for an answer.
He grinned proudly. "Oh yeah."
"You're a nut job."
"I might be."
She waved the box above her head. "Let it be known that you wrote me a note and wrapped it neatly before giving it to me."
"You say that like it's a bad thing."
"Hiccup, has anyone ever told you that you tend to be dramatic?"
The boy tilted his head. "My mom, once."
Astrid reached behind her and took hold of his arms, crossing them over her. "She was right."
(It said, "psst stormy im the loser with one leg")

(It was a walk to her table and interrupting her friends' conversation mid-sentence by leaning down and, as the twins said, "Smooching like a couple of newlyweds.")
(Hiccup swung his arms as he walked back to his seat, and Astrid had made a "well that was a pleasant surprise" face, keeping the grin down-they'd honestly acted as if they'd practiced the scenario.)
(...Then again, their PDA session before dinner could've been counted as practice, considering how long it took.)
need to keep these short because of le wrists ;o;
R&R tho
