A/N : I had a lot of one-shots in mind for HTTYD, so I figured I'd put them all under one story. So... viola!

Consistency

If there was one thing Hiccup didn't understand, it was the opposite sex. Girls had always been a tough subject for him (mostly because of how awkward he was) and, even after he became a hero, there were still complications.

And even after he did get a girlfriend, he still didn't know what exactly to do about it. Maybe it was because she was Astrid, and she was just... her. The Beauty of Berk. And here he was, the too-skinny, over-nervous, soon-to-be cheif.

It wasn't even that she made him nervous—which she did—but that she could get away with murder if she wanted to. She'd do something wrong, and all she'd do was give him big, blue eye and pout and he'd melt like butter. Then, to top it off, she'd kiss him just to further confuse him, then just walk away with swaying hips like nothing.

So there he was, trying to stay upset at Astrid for pushing him into a lake on their date. So far it wasn't working. Hiccup was soaked to the bone, attempting to glare at Astrid, who was biting her lip to keep from laughing.

"And why would you do that?" he asked exasperatedly as he slung off his fir vest and tried to wring out his tunic.

She shrugged. "Why not?" At his stare, she added, "Thought it'd be fun."

"Now it all makes sense!" he said sarcastically.

Astrid leaned up toward him, pressing her lips against his for just a second. When she pulled away and he got that goofy look on his face, she knew she was forgiven.

"Wait, wait, wait!" the drenched boy said suddenly.

"What?"

"Why do you do that?"

"Do what?"

"That. Just... do something, and then kiss me like it makes up for everything."

"Doesn't it?"

He slapped his forehead. Gods, help him. "No. Sorta. Okay, yes, it does. But still! I'm just asking why. You always do it."

She just smiled at the disgruntled boy before going on her tip toes and kiss him yet again, only to saunter away with an absent-minded, "Consistency is key, Hiccup."

Toothless, who had watched the scene from his spot near the lake, just gave Hiccup the 'I-can't-believe-you're-that-wrapped-around-her-finger' stare.

"What?" Hiccup said defensively. "It's not like you helped!"

A/N : Ha. This was actually a some-what true story. I do what Astrid does to Hiccup to my boyfriend all the time, and he sorta reacted like this.
