Disclaimer: I do not own HHTYD. I just love the movie.. sooo much.
This is just a little one shot I decided to do after seeing the movie.

Everything we thought about these creatures is completely wrong.
Dragons aren't.. they aren't harmful. They aren't.. like what we thought they were.
Even if they attack, they're only defending themselves..
They've killed hundreds of us. But we've killed thousands of them.
This war isn't right.
Maybe with the power of the Night Fury, my best friend.. maybe with Toothless, I can prove them wrong.
Hiccup hesitated a bit, reaching his hand out to calmly place his palm on the snout of his dragon. Why he hesitated? Probably because he was still a bit spooked at the fact that he had become best friends with a dragon behind everyones backs within a matter of days.
Petting Toothless, the brunette smiled softly before glancing over his shoulder, watching as the broken finned tail of the Night Fury gently swayed back and forth in a calming manner. The weather was perfect. Not to hot, not to cold.. usually it snowed around the village 9 months in a row.. the other times well it.. hailed. This weather was surprisingly pleasant.
The brunette youth felt relaxed leaning up against the side of his dragon, bright emerald hues watching his master's actions.
"Well, Toothless.." Hiccup began, gaining his dragon's attention as Toothless perked his head up, ears twitching. "I've done all I can.. I can't just.. tell them. They wouldn't understand.." Sometimes Hiccup would just start talking to the dragon, as if believing his pet was some sort of personal diary. Sadly, Toothless was the only one who would listen. Hiccup knew this all to well.
There would be a few times of silence between the dragon and the viking, in which they would just stare at each other. Stare in each others eyes for a sense of trust. When Hiccup first encountered the frightened Night Fury, he could see as much fright in the dragon's eyes as he could feel his own fright rise within his chest. They were, truthfully, scared of each other.
Bonding time was something personal to Hiccup. He liked it, too. Not often was there someone Hiccup could just lean up against and fall asleep, or say that he actually shared a personal bond with someone. Not even his dad would do that. His dad would never listen to him. The other viking teenagers just made fun of him for being so.. skinny. Not enough brawn. He never had anyone. Until now. Toothless made Hiccup firmly believe that not all dragons were bad. It just depended on how you treated the intelligent creatures. Hiccup knew that dragons had potential.
A soft purring noise came up from within Toothless's throat as he leaned his head to the side, tongue sliding out to gently lick Hiccup's face.
"Aha! Hey!" Hiccup brought his hand up to wipe off the dragon's saliva from his face, before leaning back on the smooth, yet scaly skin of the dragon's side. The young Night Fury's wings were folded over, creating a shield from the rays of the sun above them in the sky.
With the calm breeze gently blowing his brunette locks in his face, Hiccup brushed them behind his ear before turning his head to face the dragon, a small smile on his face. "We can change their minds. I know we can."
Toothless let out a small roar before closing his giant emerald eyes, nodding, as if understanding his trainer.
"Yeah.. we can."
Toothless and Hiccup had a bond that no other viking had with anyone else. And that bond would be the key to letting everyone know that dragons aren't as bad as they seem.
