AN: Wow! It's only been less than a day and so many added this to their alerts and favorites! It was a real pleasant surprise when I came back from a crappy day at school—made me feel warm and fuzzy!

Would've had it yesterday, actually, but I has to study my lines for Drama. And it got long… My bad. LOL
Prompt: Hiccup and humanoid!Toothless
DISCLAIMER: If I owned my own Toothless… This acrophobic would willingly go into the sky without crying.
Captor and Captive
The wind used to be the gentlest thing to ever caress his scales.
Toothless never thought anything else could compare to the adrenaline in his boiling veins when it came to flying: the speed, the wild abandon, the freedom. He'd never known anything more glorious in his life.
The soft brush of fingers on his neck sent an inward shiver. That was not the case anymore.
Glancing over his shoulder, the dragon looked at the boy, and Hiccup smiled; Toothless felt his heart beating in trepidation, and he found it discomforting that it beat so frantically, like a bird in a cage. It was definitely a strange feeling—it was a paradox on itself: numbing his body yet heating it up with a liquid fire that couldn't compare to his flames.
He looks away, and he feels the human move closer.
His relationship with Hiccup also seemed to be polar opposites—he felt freer than before, and not; he was not a prisoner, but he felt chained to this boy. There were so many emotions coursing through their friendship.
That was another thing.
Did he want this to be just a simple bond between companions?
This is ridiculous, and Toothless realizes this with a pang of shame. Dragons do not feel—not this emotion anyway. Than he felt a deeper shame slice into him; it's not ridiculous to love one who saved your life.
Was it?
"What's wrong?" asks Hiccup, and the concern in those eyes made Toothless' tongue go lame.
"C'mon, bud, what's the matter?"
Dragons can't use words, they express what they want and don't want with actions. So that's what Toothless did.
And surprise was etched on both their faces when Toothless reached out, cupping the younger boy's face with a hand. Stock-still, Hiccup couldn't speak either but Toothless knew what he wanted to say.
Tentative and unsure, he leaned in, lips an inch apart from the boy's.
Did he want this too?
He decided to risk it, risk it all. Closing the little distance they had, Hiccup's soft gasp surged something in his body, and he found himself becoming bolder, skimming over the boy's jaw, taking the moist cavern back again, and tilting Hiccup's head back.
In this instant, Toothless was certain that Hiccup was as much a captive in this relationship as he was. His heart soared when Hiccup returned the kiss with equal force.
Toothless smiled to himself—Hiccup wasn't a boy anymore, he was a man. He hadn't changed too much in their time together, but even he did change outwardly, Toothless knew this was still his Hiccup.
In his eyes, Hiccup was handsome.
He wasn't the only one who thought Hiccup was handsome however…
With a jolt, Toothless awakens. Hope in his heart, wishing, he looks down, wanting to see those human hands.
Dragon talons…
He eyes the rest of his body with self-loathing. He feels the warmth of the sun on his scales; he must've dozed off waiting for Hiccup. A daydream…
Consumed with rage, Toothless sent several fiery blasts towards the sky, cursing his true form.
When Hiccup entered moments later, Toothless wasn't sure what to feel.
One look at the lovely blonde who trailed behind and Toothless didn't feel anything but defeat.
For the remainder of the day, Hiccup and Astrid were at a loss to why Toothless was depressed, even during the ride.
Toothless was daydreaming.
But in this daydream, he won his prize; with force.
AN: Whoa! Dragon-angst. XD
