Hello !
I hope you come to enjoy this fanfiction that I've started. I don't know how long it will end up and I don't know how often I'll be able to post new chapters. Sorry.
Anyway, I based this story off of a work of fan art that I saw the other day. Hope you enjoy it.
Hiccup smiled as he stared into the Berkian skies above. After a long day of flying and crazy stunts, it was nice to calm down and spend a few peaceful hours in the cove in which he befriended Toothless. Right now, he was floating on his back, the water murmuring in his ears, tickling his fingers. As he gazed into the brilliant blue, he noticed that not a cloud was in the sky to shield the island from the golden rays of the sun. He breathed deeply, letting his body soak up the warmth. With a feeling of contentment, he closed his eyes.
Then he frowned. Something was… off. As he floated on, eyes closed, he realized that he couldn't hear his dragon friend splashing playfully in the water nearby. Other than the dragon roars and bird calls in the distance, it was completely silent. "Toothless?" Hiccup called, slightly worried. His cry pierced through the silence like a knife. A horrible foreboding feeling crept into Hiccup's chest. "Toothless!" he called, louder. No answer. "Tooth-aaaack!"
He had opened his eyes just in time to see Toothless playfully pound him in the stomach as he called his name a third time. Surprised, he yelped, submerging under the water for a little and accidentally swallowing a bit. He quickly jolted back up, gasping and coughing a little, thankful to be in shallow waters. From behind him, he could hear deep, throaty snickers.
"Oh, laughing are we, bud?" Hiccup said, turning around to see his dragon chuckling, mouth open in a crooked smile. He clearly found Hiccup spluttering like an idiot hilarious. He's learned to laugh, he thought to himself, smiling at the thought.
A splash of cold water slapped across his face. Instinctively, he shut his eyes, opening them up again to see a pair of big, green eyes staring innocently at him, and a pink, gummy mouth pulled into a smile. "Alright," Hiccup smirked mischievously. "I see how it is…" And with a victorious "HA!" Hiccup slammed his hands into the water, sending water flying everywhere. He grinned, seeing Toothless' expression turn from gleeful to surprised. "How's that for a-"
And before he could finish that sentence, Toothless had pushed him sprawling into the water. When he popped back up, he found his dragon giggling, getting the last laugh.
