————————————————————————

Y/N POV
I'm walking down the street with d/n on my tail... but not really.... Pun, not intended...
We're walking into town where people are chatting excitedly about today's game. Mom lent me her old skin skirt and she braided my hair before I left (if you have short hair, she helped you style it the way you like).
I'm feeling good, and I'm looking good, nothing can stop me!
I'm probably smiling so big that people will wonder if I'm sick. I spot Skullcrusher a couple of meters from me, and where Skullcrusher is, Eret is too. I pick up my pace and reach the two quickly. Eret stands with his back towards me.
I giggle to myself before poking him on his right shoulder. He turns slightly to the right and I back away so he doesn't see me. Then I poke his left shoulder, and he turns around. He sees me and smile brightly.
-Hi! He says.
-Hey! I say. He looks at me up and down.
-You look nice, he says. I smile to myself and feel my face heat up. I look at him. His hair looks clean and every single hair was tucked into the newly made man bun, that had moved higher up onto his head.
-You look good-handsome-uhhh... I stammer and giggle, making him chuckle.
-Thank you, he says. Then he holds out an arm.
-Shall we go, m'lady? He asks. I bow slightly and grab his arm, giggling. I can't wait for today!

Astrid POV
I watch as Y/N giggle and her and Eret walk towards the arena. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look back to see Hiccup.
-It's working, he smiles. I smile.
-Yeah, it is, I say.
-Aw, look at them! They're so cute together! Fishlegs says and stands next to us.
-Ugh, please! I'll give it a week, Snotlout says and crosses his arms, making me shake my head.
-No, no, Snotlout, this is where you're wrong! Tuffnut says.
-Y/N hasn't had any free time since you were born! He continues.
-They haven't met anyone like each other before! Do you really think he's gonna let her go? Ruffnut asks Snotlout.
-Yeah yeah... Snotlout growls and walks away.
-It's true love, isn't it? I ask them. Everyone nods as Y/N and Eret sit onto their dragons and fly up to the chiefs pedestal.
-It's like... they're made for each other, Fishlegs sighs happily.
-They probably are, Fishlegs, Hiccup says. I look up at him and he smiles softly at me.

Y/N POV
Me and Eret got VIP spots on the chief pedestal by Hiccup.
-Take a seat, Eret says over the cheering people.
-No, you take a seat, I say and bow mockingly.
-Ladies first, Eret battles. I shake my head and cross my arms. Eret chuckles.
-You're not going to sit down, are you? He asks. I smirk.
-You know me so well, I say. Eret smiles and sits down in the big chair. Before Eret puts his hands onto the arm rests, I sit down on one of them. He looks shocked at me.
-There, I'm sitting... Happy now? I ask and lean against the back of the chair. Eret shakes his head and laughs, putting his hand behind me. I look around and I watch as the competitors enter the arena. They mount their dragons and....

SWOOSH! They fly past us at an incredible speed! Eret laughs excitedly.
-Woah! He says and looks at me like a child on snoggletog. I laugh at his childish expression and try to watch the race. Snotlout rounds the corner first, with a sheep in his arms end he tosses it into his basket. I shout in glee as the others come rushing past after him.
-What does this mean? Eret asks over cheers. I lean closer so he can hear me without shouting.
-The riders are flying 7 laps around Berk, collecting sheep and putting them in their baskets. The white sheep are 2 points each. On the last lap, Gobber will take out the black sheep and that's 10 points. The one with the most points in the end, wins, I explain. Eret nods understandingly. Suddenly the riders ride past again, this time, Astrid drops a sheep in the basket. Everyone cheers.

Two laps later, everyone is shouting their lungs out for who they're cheering on. Including me.
-Snotlout! Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi! I shout and throw my fist up in the air. Eret laughs at me.
The twins comes from the corner first, but it's Astrid that has the sheep. She drops it into her basket and I groan. Suddenly Hookfang flies right above us, making me take cover and Eret grabs me by the waist and pulls me towards him. When they've passed, I sit back up. Eret looks at me and laughs shocked.
-That was close! Eret laughs. I laugh with him and look back into the arena. I can still feel his hand on my waist.... But I honestly don't mind it... I smile to myself and blush. What am I thinking? He's just... yeah, he's holding my waist, can't have an excuse for that. I lean so my back is leaning against his muscle-y shoulder. I grin to myself when I see the dragon riders coming closer. Snotlout drops a sheep into his basket, and he's coming closer to us.
-Hey Snotlout! Try not to kill us next time, eh!? I shout over to him as he passes. He only blows me a kiss. I shake my head and laugh. I look over at Eret, who only smiles up at me. He brushes his thumb carefully on my waist. I smile back as I hear the horn. I quickly look into the arena.
-The black sheep! I shout. Eret grips my waist in anticipation. I sit up and look intensely over the arena, trying to see the riders.
-Snotlout! Snotlout! Oi! Oi! Oi! I shout over, and over again as the riders get closer. But it's not Snotlout that has the black sheep, no... It's Hiccup. He jumps over his basket and tosses the sheep into it. I groan and applaud as the race is finished. The riders land onto the pedestal.
-Hi guys! I say. Snotlout looks at me and Eret and scoffs. Astrid follows his gaze and smirks.
-Did you enjoy the race? She asks. Me and Eret look at each other before we quickly look away and he removes his hand from my waist to scratch his neck.
-Y-yeah, it was great! Eret says.
-You guys we're really great! I say and smile.
-Yeah yeah, Snotlout says angrily. I walk up to him and hug him.
-You were good too Snotty, don't worry, I tease. Snotlout glares up at me.
-C'mon, dinner at my place! I say and the twins cheer.
-OUR place! Snotlout says.
-Yeah yeah! I say and wave him off. They all begin walking out of the arena.
-Hey, you coming? Astrid asks me.
-Yeah, I'll catch up! Go ahead, I say. Astrid nods and I turn to Eret that stands up from the chair.
-Today was fun, he says and smiles.
-Yeah, it really was, I say and smile back.
-Hey... I'm sorry about my hand on... I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable, he says awkwardly and scratches his neck. His face turns pink and I shake my head.
-I didn't mind... I answer.
-You didn't? He asks. I shake my head and he smiles.
-Well... That counts as another date, right? He asks. I giggle.
-It does, I say and he smiles with his whole face.
-That is... I start and his face immediately falls.
-If you join us for dinner, I finish. Eret lets out a big huff of air.
-You had me there for a second, not going to lie, Eret says shakily. I laugh.
-C'mon, dinner is on me, I say, grabbing Eret's huge bicep and almost dragging him all the way home.

I have a feeling that our next date will be better than the first....
