During the past week and a half, Hiccup was bedridden from a cold, leaving both himself and Toothless stuck in the house throughout the entire time. Though Toothless was upset that his human was ill, he was more upset by the fact that Stoick had forbidden Hiccup from leaving the house until he got better, let alone going outside and flying. Toothless was more annoyed at Stoick than angry; being stuck in the house for days on end had started to get to the dragon, making him as grumpy as ever.
But then, on the tenth day of what Toothless thought would be boring as the days before, Hiccup had woken up, bright eyed with a small smile on his face, and got out of bed, heading straight downstairs to where Toothless was, and shook him as hard as he could.
The dragon moaned, rolling on his side and brought his paws up to his face, covering his eyes "Go away"
"Wake up buddy" Hiccup laughed and pushed him again, making the dragon move a paw away from the sound of his rider's voice and blinked "Hiccup?"
"Yep" Hiccup grinned, biting back a laugh as the dragon jumped to his feet and grinned at him, bare gums showing and tail wagging behind him "You look better!" he purred.
"I feel better" Hiccup chuckled, stroking the dragon's nose and smiled at the familiar sound of the Night Fury's purring.
"So you're not sick anymore?"
"Nope! Gothi gave me some herbs a few days again and I feel like the old me, isn't that great?" Hiccup informed, smiling like an idiot at Toothless' thrilled expression.
Toothless' eyes rounded into large, black orbs as he dropped his head, laying it on Hiccup's lap and looked up at him with pleading eyes "So we could fly again?"
Hiccup laughed lightly, nodding his head happily as he patted his dragon's nose "Sure thing Buddy, just let me get you some breakfast and I can get changed and then we can head out! Sound good?"
Toothless grinned even more so and jumped to his feet, shifting from paw to paw in excitement as Hiccup climbed to his feet, fetching a basket of fish from the kitchen and dumped the dead fish in front of Toothless, patting his head one last time before climbing the stairs to his room.
Toothless watched him go before turning to his meal, swallowing each fish whole as he rushed through the pile, chocking back his last fish and finishing his breakfast in a matter of short minutes. Toothless' stomach growled in protested but the dragon completely ignored it, climbing to his feet and moved towards the stairs, sitting on his back legs, resting his front paws on his knees as he stared up to the top of the stairs, ears flickering each time he heard movement from upstairs.
After a while, Hiccup bounced down the stairs in his riding vest, a huge smile on his freckled face as he stopped next to Toothless, looking up at him "Ready?"
Toothless nodded with a smile "Great, let me grabbed your saddle, I'll meet you outside"
Toothless eyes followed Hiccup as he moved towards the back room; Toothless smile before he bounced towards the door, opening it easily and ran out to the front of the house, tail smacking the floor in happiness before he settled down by the front door, smiling to himself.
It only took a few seconds for the silence to be broken as his stomach rumbled uncomfortably, causing the dragon's paw to move up and rested on top of his stomach, his ears flicking as it growled yet again, tightening up suddenly.
Toothless whined in pain as his throat soon followed, tightening as his stomach yet again shook suddenly before something….unusual happened. His throat tightened even more so before a high pitched yelp moved though his throat quickly and escaped his lips, loudly erupting from his large mouth, shaking the dragon's body from ear to tail, leaving the dragon confused and fearful at what had just happened.
Toothless swallowed hard, wincing at the feeling in his throat and glanced around nervously before another yelp past his toothless lips, his wings shook behind him suddenly. His paws smacked onto his mouth, clamping it shut as the dragon whined again, bringing his tail to wrap around his legs protectively.
"Ya ready, buddy?" Hiccup grinned, jogging out from the house moments later and smiled, Toothless' saddle in hand, Hiccup's smile dropped slightly along with his arms, the saddle falling to his side as he stared at his dragon worrying, noticing the fearful expression on his face "What's wrong?"
Toothless stared at Hiccup, paws still on his mouth as his ears dropped onto the back of his neck, Hiccup's frowned deepened in worry "Toothless?"
Slowly, Toothless removed his paws from him mouth and opened his jaw slowly to speak before another, painfully high pitched yelp ripped from his throat, startling both him and Hiccup, making his jump back in surprised while Toothless clamped him mouth shut once again.
Both of them froze, staring at each other before Hiccup slowly reached out a hand toward the dragon's nose, opening his mouth to speak only to be cut off by the growl of the dragon's stomach and the high pitch, muffled squeaked that escaped past Toothless' tightly closed lips.
*Waves* 'Ello everyone, long time no see~~
So I'm writing this short little story while I was babysitting my siblings for 4 days, since there was no way I would be able to focus while looking after screaming little monsters (whom I love (sometimes)) and not to mention the fact that I'm now my epileptic dog's personal vet (which i'm kinda stuck with, which is really depressing…) but now that my parents are back so I've kind got out of my writing circle so I'm writing this little story in hopes of getting my juices flowing again~~
Tell me what you guys think, your comments (reviews) affect the story~~
Love you all!
