How To Be: Punk || Mericcup ✔ EDITING

Chapter 12: Black Mail Fail

I don't even bother to open my eyes the next morning, I know what my arm's around, and I know that scent.
I pull Merida closer to my chest, nuzzling her neck.

God, it feels so comfortable waking up to her.

I hear her giggle slightly as my nuzzling began to tickle.
I smile, burying my face in her hair.

Everything was perfect...

"Hic...What time is it...?" I hear her speak.

Wait, she's awake?!

"I-uh...um..."

DON'T KEEP HER WAITING!

I quickly removed one of my hands, grabbing my glasses.
"It's, uh...eight TWENTY!"
"EIGHT TWENTY?!"
We scrambled out of each others arms.

"Fuck it, I'm not changing, no matter how gross it is!" I exclaimed.
"Is it cool if I wear your hoody?"
"Yeah, it's fine, C'mon!" I grab her hand, running upstairs.
I gave her a spare toothbrush and we literally did everything in the bathroom.
She even used my deodorant!

I re-braid my ends as she just puts her hair in a bun.
"God, I need to get my book bag!" She says, running out and sliding down the stair's railing, racing out the front door.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck!" I repeated, grabbing my things and running out the door.
"Hiccup, hurry up!" She called.
"I'm going woman!" I called back, slamming the door and quickly jumping on her motorcycle.

I grasp onto her, wrapping my arms around her waist as she takes off.

We managed to get there on time and not be seen together.

We panted in tiredness, dusting ourselves off.
I looked over at her, smiling in relief, until We burst out laughing.

"I can't believe we made it." I chuckled.
My smile faded as I realized what had to come next.
"I guess...I'll see you later.." She shrugged, looking as disappointed as I did.
"Um...Yeah." I sighed, pulling her in for a tight embrace.
I watched as she walked away after that.
"Hey, Hic! Over here!" Jack called.
I turned around to see him happily waving hello. I falsely smile, walking toward him.

------

I've been noticing weird stuff since I've entered school...people have been staring at me alot.

Especially Astrid.

But not in the "Stay Away" kind of way.

I raise my hand in class, asking to go to the bathroom.
Usually, I wouldn't bend rules, but for Mer, I would.
I stood up after I got permission and walked out the door.
I see her walking in the halls and run after her.

"Mer! Merida!" I shouted in whispers.
She turns around and smiled, waving hello.
I smiled wide, giving her a short hug and I see the flash of a camera go off. We quickly split.

"Well look whose been caught!" We hear a voice, out walked Astrid. "...Four eyes and Red Head, nice to meet you."
"Astrid, delete that photo." I growled.
"Or what? You'll hurt me? Oh Hic, you couldn't even fight the weakest kid in this school of you wanted to, what a shame."

"I'm sorry...who are you?" Merida asks.
"Astrid, Hiccup's Ex." She grins. "It appears your breaking the rules set by your so called, family."
I swallowed.
"What do you want?" I asked.
"I want you to stay away from this girl, that's all."
"What, why?"
"You wouldn't want a mob chasing after you, and her, do you?"
"No! Stay away from us you little-"
"Hiccup...it's ok." Merida says.
"What?"
"I-i don't want to see you hurt because of me."
I swallowed, "And I don't want to see you hurt either."
"And I think you remember I live in your neighborhood, Hic. So don't even try." Astrid grins.
"What?! You can't do that!"
"Yes I can, and I won't hesitate to take a photo."
"Why are you doing this? Why do you want to see me upset all the time?!"
"I have my reasons..." She says, "Now you, get out of here you freak!"
"Don't call her that!" I say, almost screaming, making Astrid jump.
