Disclaimer: I don't own How to Train Your Dragon

Please R&R

(This is based off of the track Forbidden Friendship from the soundtrack of the film, and where Toothless decided to try and draw. I don't know if I got the message across but hey i tried...)


The dragon danced about him, the tree branch clutched between lethal jaws. It worked grooves into the earth as it spinned about him trying to mimic his drawings on the soil.

His bewilderment heightened when the dragon threw the branch away looking proud of its attempt. It crooned excitedly as he examined it, tilting his head this way and that to try and see the bizarre image. His expectations were obviously a bit too high; it was just a squiggle of lines. He moved to step out of the 'drawing' when the growl of the Night Fury made him freeze.

Yellow slitted eyes narrowed and teeth bared the dragon watched him. He looked down realising his mistake. His foot was on the lines of the dragons drawing. He observed the dragon as he lifted his foot away, the dragon's expression returning to neutral and expectant. He lowered his foot again and the teeth and eyes were narrowed again as he brushed the groove with his foot.

Taking his chances Hiccup stepped over the line and looked to the dragon. The Night Fury had settled, watching him. Looking down at his feet Hiccup began to hop over line after line in a sort of awkward dance, looking a lot like the rhythms that one would use when training with a sword.

He froze when the breath of the dragon collided with his back.

He turned looking into eyes that reflected his own nature. Yellow eyes surveyed him, evaluating him with almost, human intelligence.

Deciding to take a risk, Hiccup reached out, his body twisting away, eyes clenched shut "its okay… I'm not going to hurt you…"

His eyes sprang open in shock at the smooth scaled skin that was suddenly under his palm, the yellow eyes of the dragon opened acceptance shining in the large orbs.

Hiccup read the meaning even as the dragon bounded away from him.

Even two species that were at constant friction could find friends on the other side of the line.
