Link: hey y'all okay this is probably one of the strangest stories you will ever read but it was thought of in a strange way. what happened was i was home alone and i was listening to music while cleaning the kitchen up. well we have a mini bar as part of our kitchen (no we don't keep beer or any alcoholic beverages in the house) and i started imagining that i was a bartender but I was simultaneously the lead singer in a live music band. then Onyx (my imaginary dragon companion/ night fury[ i'm not afraid to admit i'm a bit of a loner and have to have an internal dialogue / be 15 with imaginary friends] shut up i hear you laughing at me) starts singing with me and then it clicked. thus the birth of the stupidest HTTYD runaway story you will ever read
Lexi: Yeah this idea is weird as heck
Hiccup: You think it's weird?!
Toothless: WE'RE IN IT!
Link: oh shut up Toothless, you liked the idea
Toothless: YOU SAID THAT THERE WOULD BE MEAD!
Link: ya, there will be but you shouldn't drink to begin with…
Toothless, not my fault it taste soooo good!
Lexi: Oh yeah, Link, do you mind if i have some shameless self advertising here?
Link: nope, as long as you bare with me through this story
Lexi: Deal, if you have read race the night away you might like a story i'm writing called Night rider. It's a racing AU and it has a lot of drama so tune in if you want. If not, oh well.
Link: I've been meaning to read that, anywho I don't own HTTYD or associated. also i want to give a GARGANTUAN SHOUT OUT to MrAndersIversen and to Midnight510 for being my most loyal fans so far and helping me when i ask for it, thanks guys.
Eragon: ENJOY THE SHOW (flies off on saphira)
Lexi: Enjoy the SNOW! We had TEN FLAKES IN MYRTLE BEACH, SNOWMAGGEDON!

chapter one hiccup POV 4 years ago
I was exploring the woods when I saw A black dragon and a whispering death in a fight. I stayed and watched the black dragon won but at the cost of his right tail fin. I carefully walked up to him and offered to help him heal he nodded his head so I helped him up and gave him a hand back to my house. When we got there I patched him up as best I could and set him up a couple mattress on the floor of the garage and let him sleep. meanwhile i started thinking about what I knew about dragons and i made the following list
1) can fly
2) can breath fire
3) most kids have a dragon by the age of 10 (I'm picked on for being 12 with no dragon)
4) when someone earns a dragon's trust they are bonded with that dragon and that is how they communicate. The dragon is able to speak in the same way as the person with whom it bonded
5) Unbonded dragons have a basic grasp of the local language but can't speak it.
6) if the dragon dies the rider lives on, if the rider dies the dragon goes as well
The next day the dragon was feeling better. I put a book of dragons in front of him and I asked what type of dragon he was and when he poked the nightfury picture I about lost it, I had the most elusive dragon known to man sitting in my garage after checking his bandages I went to get lunch.
TRIGGER WARNING
I had gone inside to make lunch for myself and grab some fish for the recently named Toothless (He had retractable teeth and laughed when I told him my name, it was to be expected) after putting my sandwich down I went and grabbed one of Skull crusher's (my dad's dragon) fish crates but when I went to put it down, a loose nail caught on my shirt sleeve and ripped it open to reveal my scars. This caught Toothless's attention as he slowly stood up and, with worry in his eyes, nudged my exposed skin. When I saw the way he was looking at the scars, I lost it. That look broke me; that one look from a dragon I barely knew tore down the wall that had been holding my emotions back for the past 4 years. I curled up on the floor and told him all of it: the constant bullying and criticism from my dad, my uncanny ability to screw everything up, my mother's death, the cutting, and everything else that resided in the dark cavern I called my soul. After I had let it all go I wiped my eyes and noted that I had moved from my spot curled up on the floor to wrapped in Toothless's wings. It was warm, not suffocatingly so but a comfortable warmth. I looked up to see him looking at me with care in his eyes and pulled myself closer to him to hug him. Then I felt it, my soul 'felt' lighter, like it had been soaking wet before, then confessing was like running it through a dryer. It was at that moment that I decided that if there was a dragon that I was meant to have as a companion it was Toothless. I slowly did as my mother had showed me before she died in that damned hospital room with Cloud Jumper (her stormcutter) from cancer. I slowly with tears in my eyes and hope in my heart looked away and raised my open hand up to about a foot from his snout, and waited. I waited for what seems like an eternity. Just when I thought he had up and left I felt his warm snout in my hand and what felt like electricity pass between us. I then looked up at him for a moment before wrapping him in a hug. "Thank you" I whispered.
Then a deeper voice I had never heard before but felt ever so familiar answered
"You're welcome".
TRIGGER OVER sorry y'all it was necessary-ish for the plot
4YEARS LATER
"MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP MEEP!" my alarm screamed. I opened a weary eye and reached out to hit the button to make it shut up, only to see nothing but darkness and my hand to hit a warm, dry, and scaly wall. and i realized where I was
"Toothless get off me I need to head to school."
"No, you're warm"
"Toothless I'm going to be late"
"UGH, fine, but only because that blasted alarm clock is getting annoying" he said lifting his wing so I could get up. I begrudgingly rolled out of the comfort and warmth of my best friend and my bed. I turned the alarm off and got dressed.
"Come on you useless reptile unless you don't want breakfast. That got his attention he raised his head up to look at me with wide eyes before narrowing them.
"You wouldn't dare..."
"Try me." We stare at eachother for a moment before laughing and we head down stairs. after breakfast I grab my bag and head for the door.
"You coming with me to school today or you gonna go exploring?" I ask.
"I think I'll stay here today, I'll meet you at the cove after you get out" he says thoughtfully
I shrug my shoulders "see you then" and head out the door.
"DONT DIE" Toothless calls after me as I exit the room (AN: i will give a shout out to anyone who PMs me the book, book series, and the person/ object who I just made a reference to, Lexi you can't answer because you already got a shout out today. HINT: the author is: Lisa Mcmann )
later at school
I'm at my locker getting stuff for second period when I feel myself get lifted off the ground.
"HAY USELESS" Scott (better known Snotlout and lesser known as my cousin)
" *sigh* Yes Snotlout?"
"Want to race your dragon this afternoon against Hookfang, oh wait YOUR DRAGON CAN'T FLY" He says while living up to his name and launching mucus and phlegm everywhere. I roll my eyes.
"He COULD fly if you hadn't destroyed his prosthetic attempting to hang glide with it" I retorted. After that day where I was the only thing between Toothless eating lead tormenter. Toothless never wore his prosthetic to school after that to avoid another incident.
"Ya that was fun, speaking of witch when are you get another one so I can try again?"
"I told you never, i'm broke and can't afford another." which is complete bull, I didn't need to buy it, my dad's friend made a decent living doing custom saddles,equipment, and general fabrication and he taught me how to use all his equipment so I can make Toothless as many tailfins as he needs within reason. Even then my dad is the CEO of Haddock industries the leader in the custom weapon industry and he would be more than willing to get Toothless a new tail. His rule is as long as you don't flaunt his money and you have good grades you get what you want. Not that that's a problem for me, I'm at the top of my class and I'm not the flaunting type. It was then that the bell rang and everyone headed for class.
After school
After school AKA hell (snotlout failed a test and came after me because of it so I was sporting a black eye and a cut where he threw me against the lockers. I walked back to my house and dropped my stuff off before heading to the cove, now the cove was where I met Toothless for the first time, where we learned to fly together with me controlling the tail fin, and above all it is our hang out. For me it's a safe haven, away from all my troubles. for Toothless it's a great place for a nap and for peace and quiet. We have spent several nights camping out here when Snotlout is hunting me with his friends or when I can't stand being around my father anymore. As I walked in I didn't see Toothless
"Toothless, you here bud?" I hear a rustling in the bushes and quickly hit the dirt and watch a big black blur dive over me and unceremoniously land in the pond with a splash. I start laughing as he climbs out of the pond and frowns suppressing a smile
"Not funny, not funny at all" he wines.
"Oh do you want an apology big babby boo?"
"rig ary roo" hi mimes me
"Then try this on!" I say as I dive at him and try to tackle him
"Are you feeling all my heart felt remorse?" In response he just falls forward effectively trapping me we wrestle for a bit before getting a text from my dad telling me to get home.
