Merida's POV

I kiss him harder and he lifts me onto his lap. He has pretty good muscles compared to when we were kids, he used to joke that if there was a dragon invasion of the school then he wouldn't be eaten, he'd be used as a toothpick.

He runs his hands up and down my back, making me whimper ever so slightly, which in turn makes him chuckle. Eventually I stop kissing him and just wrap my arms around him and put my head on his shoulder, laughing out of sheer joy.

"Merida, I love you." he says into my shoulder.

"I love you too Hic." I whisper back

"Why didn't we realise this earlier?"

"I guess we never knew what we were missing."

There's a short pause before I speak again.

"D'you remember all those 'wrong numbers' you used to get?"

"Yeah, hang on, how did you know about them?"

"Well, they were me," I say shyly. "Every time I rang up I meant to tell you, but I never found the words."

"Why didn't you tell me before Mer? We could have had this so much earlier!"

"I'm so sorry Hic, I couldn't. The words just wouldn't find their way to my mouth and every time I nearly told you there were other people there. Like Astrid. I couldn't have told you when you two were, were together."

"It's OK, I just wish I could have realised what a bitch she was being before."

"You don't miss her at all?" I question. I guess he would miss her, just a bit. And don't think for a moment that I won't be jealous.

"Thinking back," he says, "I do miss her," my heart sinks and I loosen my grip on him, "but just as a friend. I don't think we'd ever have worked together as a couple. We weren't serious enough for that. We were too friendly."

"Apart from when she shouted at you," I grin at him.

He chuckles and pulls me to face him. His gorgeous green eyes gaze into my blue ones and he smiles his fantastically dorky but ridiculously adorable smile. Then he sighs and looks away from me, completely out of the blue.

"Hic?" I whisper, trying to make him make eye contact again. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing," he lies. He still doesn't look at me.

"I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong," I say. I see a tear slowly making it's way down his cheek and I turn him to face me so he has to look at me. "Hiccup."

"Merida, I'm not good enough for you. You deserve better." Hiccup's face is now shining with tears and as he continues speaking his voice starts cracking with sadness. "I'm not the man Jack was. I'm not interesting, handsome, I'm nothing. What could anyone ever see in me?"

"Hic, are you stupid?!" I say, incredulously. "I broke up with Jack, because I loved you. I'm friends with you specifically because you are interesting. And to clear it up," I say, cupping his face in my hand and pulling it up so he meets my gaze, "I think you're the most handsome guy I've met."

"Don't lie to me Merida."

"Hiccup, when have I ever lied to you?" I smile.

"Never."

A/N I saw How To Train Your Dragon 2 for the first time today!! I cried loads though, my friends looked at me like I was insane so I had to conceal the inner fangirl ;) and I learned to tolerate Hiccstrid. I think they're OK, but I can't really see them as a couple to be honest. Sorry any people who have them as their OTP!!
