All I can say is, it was funny when I first realized this at the time.
And yes, I intend for this to be a oneshot.
And if anyone's wondering, Hiccup and the gang are in their 20s. So...yeah.

How to Give A Dad-to-Be The Heads Up
By Bilbo-sama
Of all the things that everyone on Berk had decided to shrug and move on with their lives over, it was the fact that a purple lightning bolt struck Toothless (thankfully while he was still on the ground) and turned him into a human a few days ago.
Toothless' human form, as it turns out, was a tall young man with tanned skin, black hair and green eyes. The scars he had on his draconic body marred his new body as well. It made him look like a seasoned warrior.
Oddly, some girls in the village would giggle at him as he walked past them. One of them, Hiccup had realized, was that girl who seemed to make it her mission in life to spoil Toothless with fine fish and much needed behind the ear scratches when he was a dragon. It was like she wanted the dragon for herself but Hiccup had asked Toothless about it when it had first started, he was given a 'are you stupid?' look in reply.
Maybe now Toothless would be able to tell her to back off now that he can speak Norse.
It had taken Toothless a whole day to get used to his new body and the customs of human society. The clothes issue resolved itself fast when the fact that it's the middle of winter made itself known.
At first Toothless tried to communicate with everyone with gutteral growls before attempting Norse. His level of fluency now sits at 'Foreigner Who Is Sort of Decent at It'.
However, he kept giving his rider's wife, Astrid, an odd look whenever her back was turned. It was like he wanted to say something but he wasn't sure how.
On the evening of the fourth day, Hiccup said, "Hey, Toothless?"
Toothless grunted as he chewed on a chicken drumstick to show he was listening.
"What's it like having human senses?"
The odd look he reserved for Astrid crossed the tanned man's features again.
Finally he said, "It'sss…weaker. Not az ssssstrong az a..draygone."
"How so?"
There was silence as Toothless attempted to find the words that he knew his friend would not be prepared for. But…he has the right to know and be proud.
"For…one zing…Asssstreed does not….er….sssmell az much."
Hiccup stared, "Smell?"
"Liiike a…mating," at that word, Hiccup's face flushed red.
"W-what do you mean?"
"She…haz…how do you sssay….eggz?"
A funny expression appeared on Hiccup as his mind processed the information.
And then he fainted.
Toothless watched as the other young man's chest rose and fell and decided that maybe he should continue eating his chicken leg in peace as he waited for Hiccup to wake up.
Hiccup should be the one to tell Astrid, not Toothless.
Especially when Hiccup is better at Norse than he is.
