Hiro wasn’t the greatest at social cues, nor was he the greatest at talking. His emotions were a lot rarer to see than his brother’s, and yet, he was curious, and sad, and happy all at the same time. His mouth hung open, partially unsure, partially contemplating. But, he stepped back from the door, allowing it to swing open even more so she could at least step in. His hand went up to scratch the back of his neck, a habit that he picked up when he became unsure. “Both would be nice.”

honey let her smile slip off her face for a second as she thought about what she was going to say carefully. “i don’t like the silence or the awkwardness between us. i understand i asked fr space and that you were kind enough to give it to me, but too much space is also a thing that exists. and, uhm, too much space can give someone doubts. someone like me.” way to beat around the bush honey. she didn’t bother to elaborate on what she said yet, instead she walked inside hiro’s home and nodded her head. “well i’m here because according to my memory it is a little cutie pies. birthday today and i am committed to spending it with him whether he likes it or not - but i’m hoping he likes it.”

That was surprising. Well, not really, considering it was Honey, but to him, he staggered back as she basically bulldozed into him, wrapping her arms around him. He couldn’t say he didn’t miss this, but he was still hurt, and he wanted to give her space, and she had probably moved on by now. Hiro didn’t really know what to do, or say, besides reluctantly hug back. “Um,” was all he could manage at first, though it was followed soon after by, “okay.”

honey kept her sigh to herself as she pulled away from the hug with a wild smile on her face. “do you want me to tell you what i’m thinking right now? like honestly, right this second? or do you just want me to skip to the part where i explain why i’m here? i don’t mind doing either, or neither, or both.”

The knock had come suspiciously quickly after the last text Honey had sent. He ambled over to the door, still basically in his pajamas. He cracked the door open. “Whuzz’p?” His speech was a little slurred, considering he had spent most of the day sleeping– trying to avoid much of the outside world today in particular. He rubbed his eyes, and looked at her.

there was literally no stopping honey when she saw hiro’s face. she was ever so quick to move in and wrap her arms around the boy, giving his a tight squeeze as she did. “you can’t avoid me anymore okay? i don’t like it at all and it’s making me super duper sad and it just is really sucky and i’m unhappy and other things, but i miss seeing you and talking to you and laughing with you and you can’t go away for long times again.” he could do all that, not like honey had that much control over him.

“—Wow. I don’t know whether to be spooked out by sudden your evaluation or applaud you for actually figuring me out by what I just said…I think I’m gonna go with both and just say that my name is Chuckie Finster. And also that you probably really don’t want to be stuck with a guy like me.“

“oh, chuckie, chuckie. one; i love your name. like literally i’m heart eyes right now over it-- so congrats to your parents. as for you and i though, we’re going to be freinds no matter what you say. i know what nightmares are like and i know they’re scary and that they reflect your life and what you’re scared of and i’m a pretty positive person. i just want to make you smile when you need it.”

At first, Hiccup was left hanging –– and quite felt like he was going to have to deal with that while Honey decided to take a breath that ended up also giving him a grin as soon as her tongue barely caressed his lips and left the boy’s whole body leaning forward as if he wanted more. Which he did actually, but maybe it wasn’t that good of an idea to seem so obvious. He too liked the idea of being at least slightly mysterious. Though, as the moment moved forward, and Hiccup came to hear what Honey wanted to do, the boy had to shake his head and eventually realize that they were still at the pool party and had to go out of the shed at some point. “Oh.. Okay.” He answered a little unsure, seeing that once outside probably things would go different with others as spectators; though, as soon as he got to see Aiko’s bikini, well.. the horrendous boy went back to being just a teenager who’s breath and words got caught in a knot that took form in less than a second inside his throat. How could someone be that breathtaking? It was beyond him; and when he noticed he truly couldn’t speak, it became time to nod and follow –– only pausing though, to drink the rest of whatever was in his long forgotten cup and walk right behind Honey with a look that could possibly resemble those dogs from 50′s cartoons who got to fly when they smelled something delicious being cooked in the kitchen. Again, too primitive, but at least he was right behind the beauty and didn’t plan on stepping aside at all now that his shirt had come off and he was left there only wearing his swimsuit.

perhaps things hadn’t gone the way that honey had wanted to, and a part of honey was disappointed with it, but swimming wasn’t that bad. not at all because what she wanted could still very well go about happening in a pool. but of course she wouldn't be the girl that forced someone else to do anything with her. so honey smiled, stopping directly in the frame of the door before turning around. she didn’t catch a glimpse of anyone, but they could always be out of sight. not like that matter either because when honey turned around to see a shirtless hiccup, her hazel eyes widened with the little feeling called lust. it wasn’t a little feeling either, it was like an antagonizing murmur of words in the back of her head telling her to take the chance. and honey decided she’d follow along with her thoughts; but at a later time. for now she settled with a quick kiss to hiccup’s lips before turning and walking out of the shed. she could walk fairly well, only stumbling on the hardly uneven places here and there. but with every little stumble, honey was laughing harder than the last. who knew she could laugh at her own drunken clumsiness? hopefully hiccup didn’t mind. “so do you know how to swim? or did you just plan on sitting on the edge?” the brunette ask with pursed lips. when she came in sight of the pool, she was surprised. nobody was really there-- a table was tipped over and there was a bit of garbage lying about. honey didn’t even have time to think about what happened there that made everyone leave because her eyes had focused on the pool. “awe, it’s so pretty,” honey cooed. who in their right mind called a pool cute?

“So it’s been a pretty stressful few days which is why I made individual ‘i’m happy you weren’t murdered cards.’ They’re for everyone in the school I just have to find yours real quick. My hand is so sore from writing all of these but its worth it for a smile, don’t you think?” Lil asked. She was still on edge but was doing everything in her power to distract herself, including writing at least a hundred or more cards even if she didn’t know the person.

“you made cards for every single person in town? you know there’s roughly like a thousand or more students here right? -------- you must’ve been up so late. can i offer you in a cup of coffee or tea?”

“The worst part of having a nightmare is how real they feel. You instinctively start to dread it because unlike when watching a horror movie, you can feel the actual nightmare as it’s happening. Whereas you just find yourself getting afraid at whatever horrific scene that appears within the film. It’s much worse when your nightmare decides to add someone your close to, because then that just means that your imagining a loved one getting hurt even without meaning to.”

“i’m so sorry to tell you this. especially after you’ve spilled your guts to me any everything like that, but you just well into my trap. ---i can tell when someone who replies has nightmares and who doesn’t. i can’t tell how frequent, but i can give a guess, and i feel like you have them a lot. maybe not even nightmares though, but metaphorical version of demons that hold you back, even when you’re dreaming with your eyes wide. and well, what i’m trying to get at it that my name is honey lemon and you’re stuck with me now.”

Whether Hiccup could be the nicest guy on earth or the most awkward one to ever roam the universe, that was not to be confused with how strong and daring he could get at times, specially at some like these in which he very well was enabled to feel and do as much as he wanted as long as those whoever accompanying him were willing to do the same. That, in easier terms, now only came to be shown by how Hiccup’s hands that once rested on Honey’s hips were all not that subtly picking her up and pretty much letting their bodies now truly clash against each other in that weird mixture of a hug and a make out session. No matter how he tried to be just gentle, the boy couldn’t stop himself from wanting more of her. It was like a dream come true. Traveling to a far away place, meeting many other people who perhaps could’ve distracted him from his quest, but yet meeting that one soul who could get him well. Crazy to think that was how destiny had decided to make things turn out like. It simply made the green eyed boy melt in her arms. He now felt confident that while they had been friends so far, maybe they were going to toss that away and see each other as something more once the night settles down to become another day; though for now, he could just kiss Honey and hope with all his heart he wasn’t being an foolish idiot.

was it strange that things honey hadn’t thought about in years were all of a sudden appearing in her head in the form of loosely knit thoughts? like right now, honey’s obsessive brain was thinking about charlie and that chocolate factory, more or less how the kids were allowed inside a place most people would die to go into. they were told not to touch and told that they would be rewarded in the end. well as of the moment, honey felt like she was one of the kids. despite her heart beating against her chest and the taste of hiccup on her lips, honey felt like she was a kid again--- reaching for the candy that she shouldn’t have and shouldn’t touch. somewhere in that brain of hers was a connection between the movie and her situation. but due to her drunken state she was unable to actually make the final connection between the two; just the blissful memory really. though the memory was going to be replaced with tonight’s turn of events. the way hiccup held onto honey and the way honey hummed - only slightly - against the boy’s lips. it was an exhilarating feeling that made honey’s skin almost hot to touch. it took her no time to pull away for a short breath, but when she went to go attach her lips back to his, that was not what ended up happening. instead she dragged her tongue over his lips for a brief second before stepping back; making sure her eyes were kept on him. “i think i want to go swim,” honey didn’t really want to, she wasn’t the best swimming out there, she just needed an excuse to take a step back and slip off her shorts off. a full matching bikini; it wasn’t one of her favorites, not at all. but for a simple birthday party it worked. and hopefully her teasing did to as she turned around, slowly walking to the door of the shed as if she was really going to go swimming. “wanna join?”

So Hiccup had never had an actual real first kiss, unless you could count that one time he got to practice with the back of his hand while during a Snoggletog party, the others from Berk suggested playing spin the bottle and only had him end up pecking a pig. Bad memories, bad memories. So bad that they made him squeeze his eyes tightly but luckily Honey hadn’t come to be aware of that given that they were still pretty much kissing so passionately that he thought it couldn’t get any better; but then again, like when people explicitly announced things couldn’t be any worse, and right afterwards they escalated, it seemed now that his very own situation got to escalate too, in a positive direction though. Goosebumps and awkwardness were a thing from the past, at least as long as he had alcohol in his system that allowed him to be a little more daring and far more willing to express his ideas when it came to doing what any other teenage boy would love to do, be close to someone from first base and onwards. That whole series of ideas in fact ended up sparking up something in him that made his stomach feel funny again; and funny in the way that it tingled but also had him get a little rougher on that kiss before they parted their ways. “Uh..” He barely came to mutter as he saw Honey taking off her shirt, a thing that later made him swallow but not at all nervously. More like in a way of saying hot damn. Everyone had to admit it, aside from how beautiful, smartly brilliant and tremendously precious Honey was, she was also hot as fuck, and his instincts were, maybe a little too primitive, but that’s what his gut told him to do, to just step forward to regain that closeness and lean down to kiss her again, picking up the same intensity where they left off. 

how come something so sweet and soft and innocent be so bad and wicked and ultimately destructive? no matter how she assumed the night would end, none of her assumptions or calculations could point to this, for all honey knew was that hiccup wasn’t going to show up. parties didn’t seem like his thing after all especially after all the stories he had told her about him and his ‘friends’ back home during snoggletog. despite no correct predictions though, honey was ultimately satisfied with how the day seemed to be ending. with hiccup’s lips against her own in a much more passionate kiss, the brunette was floating on cloud nine. it was like all the romance movies honey secretly watched. where everything just seemed to work out in the end no matter what happened between the two. again, ti was moments like these that honey had faith in herself when it came to relationships with people - platonic or more - which was something she lost too many years ago. the past was the past though, honey was pressing on further into her future - which she hoped included hiccup no matter what happened between the two of them. not wanting to break away from the newly styled kiss, honey wrapped a single arm around hiccup’s neck in hopes to ring him closer to her. even though it seemed like they were close enough honey couldn’t get enough of him in this particular moment.
