Toothless woke up to the feeling of Hiccup's hands pushing against his side; the dragon groaned in response, squeezing his eyes shut tight as he tried to block out the world. The shoving continued, irritating the dragon with each push until he snapped his eye open, turning a thin pupil on his rider and growled.
Hiccup smiled down at him, kneeling next to him with his hands on his side "Come on Toothless, you promised we'll go to the cove after work"
When did I say that? Toothless thought to himself and rolled his eyes towards the teen then huffed, dropping his head back to the soft grassy ground, letting his eyes close.
"Toothless!" Hiccup whined, pushing him again "Please, you've been sleeping for my entire shift"
Why can't you just go on your own? Toothless growled to himself, hoping Hiccup would get the message and leave him to sleep only the feel him kick his side lightly and Hiccup huffing loudly "Fine, I'll go on my own!"
Toothless expect him to try and get him up again; a shove or a kick, maybe even a pull at his ear, he did not expect to hear him walk away, the sound of his boots against the grass faded as Hiccup moved further and further away. Opening his eye slow, Toothless looked around until his eyes fell upon Hiccup's residing back. The dragon watched as Hiccup walked further away before a heavy frown appeared on his face.
Toothless climbed to his feet, stretched, and left his spot next to the forge, jogging after his rider, catching up to him in a matter of minutes and bumped Hiccup's lower back with his nose; Hiccup skipped a step in surprised and turned, smiling down at his dragon "So you're coming then?"
I sort of have to, trouble seems to find you easily The dragon rolled his eyes and nudged Hiccup's legs caringly.
Hiccup's smiled grew wider as he placed his hand on top of his dragon's neck "Okay, let's go!"
Toothless nodded and follow Hiccup as he walked out of the village and into the forest; walking side by side as they followed the dirt, uneven path before finally arriving at the cove; Hiccup climbed down the large slabs of rocks into the grassy and life-filled cove while Toothless glided in, landing next to his rider with a thud.
Hiccup hummed to himself and stretched his arms out, inhaling deeply "It feels like we haven't been here for weeks!"
Just two Toothless grinned at his rider's remake and fell onto the ground, rolling around on the grass and began purring softly as he rubbed his back against the ground, his back legs kicking at the air slightly.
"Summer sure improve the place, right Bud?" Hiccup grinned, his eyes moving around to look at the overgrown plants growing along the cove wall, grass seemingly greener and fresh as the small waterfall on the other side of the cove pour clear, blue water into the large, matching lake with a light trickle.
Hiccup stared at the body of water for a moment before a smile appeared on his face "Toothless, look at the lake"
Toothless stopped rolling in the grass and lifted his head, watching as Hiccup ran towards the water edge, bending over and peered down into the water before glancing back toward his dragon "I've never seen the water this clear, I can see all the fish and even straight to the bottom!"
Toothless smiled at Hiccup's interest, staring at him as the teen watched the fish deep within the lake, his attention focused on nothing else; an idea suddenly popped into his head, leaving a small smirk on his wide, scaly face.
Slowly climbing to his feet, Toothless kept his eyes on Hiccup's back as he slowly and silently crept towards the Viking, crouching low as he neared him until he was only a few feet away. Hiccup did not notice Toothless as he leaned his head closer to his back until he felt a sharp push, causing him to stumble forward before falling face-first into the waters below.
Toothless gave a throaty laugh, gasping for air as Hiccup broke the surface, spitting out waters as his long, wet hair stuck to his face. Hiccup looked over at him and glared "Hey!"
Hey yourself Toothless laughed, smiling down at the soaked boy.
Hiccup glared at the dragon before bring his arms to the surface of the water and smacked them down, spraying water in the dragon's direction and grinned as Toothless shrieked in surprise as the cold water splashed onto his face, jumping back.
It was Hiccup's turn to laugh at the dragon's face, chuckling to himself as his dragon shook himself and glared "What you gonna do, big, scary dragon" Hiccup mocked.
Shaking his head again, Toothless stared down at Hiccup with thin eyes before he growled playfully and crouched down, wiggled his hind and sprang into the air, landing next to Hiccup with a loud splash, sending a wave over the teen's head and made him cough, spitting water and rubbed his eyes.
Hiccup glared back at him as Toothless laugh before splashing him again, Toothless glared back playfully and retaliated by sending another wave of his head. Hiccup and Toothless shared careless smiles as the sprayed each other with waves and waves of cold water.
Toothless dove into the water to avoid getting hit in the face, kicking his back legs and swam towards Hiccup, moving behind him quickly and pushed himself up, shooting out of the water and scaring Hiccup, making him scream as the dragon suddenly appeared behind him and soaked him once again.
Toothless laughed and fell back into the water, floating lazily as he failed to contain his laughter; Hiccup just glared but couldn't help but crack a smile, brushing the hair out of his eyes as looked over at his dragon, dropping in the water slowly until his chin skipped against the water surface "I can't believe you push me in the lake" Hiccup smiled at Toothless, who righted himself and looked at him with a smile.
Couldn't help it, it was so tempting Toothless chuckled and swam towards Hiccup, purring softly as he nuzzled his cheek; Hiccup laugh and tried and failed to push him away, muttering to himself "Big lug"
Toothless snorted a laugh before falling back into the water, kicking his legs and swam away lazily, smiling back at Hiccup as he swam circles around him. Watching him, Hiccup turn in to water as Toothless did little spins and dives for him before smiling kindly and swam over to him, stopping the dragon and place a hand on his warm nose.
Hiccup chuckled and patted his nose before sighing "I'm need to get out before I freeze"
Toothless whined slightly and watched as Hiccup walked towards the water edge and climbed out, his hair and clothes dripping wet as he walked onto dry land, pushing his hair out of his eyes and looked at Toothless with a smile "Mind making a fire? I'm kinda soaked to the bone"
Ears standing up straight, Toothless nodded and climbed out of the pool, shaking himself dry and walked off in search of fire wood for his human, trotting back a few minutes later with a mouthful of sticks to see Hiccup pealing his wet shirt off.
"Thanks Bud" Hiccup said with a smile, shivering slightly as Toothless dropped the bundle of sticks near his feet and blew a small spark, igniting the wood in seconds and straightened up, smiling back at Hiccup as he lay his wet tunic by the roaring fire.
"Thanks again, I wouldn't know what I would do without you" The teen said as he peeled off his leggings, dropping them next to his shirt and crawled over to Toothless, sitting close to the dragon and smiled, his eyes watching the flames.
Toothless smiled down and quickly noticed his human's shivering before laying down, bring his tail around and wrapped around Hiccup, pulling his closer as he lifted a wing over the Viking's head, smiling proudly when his human stopped shaking.
"You're too good for me" Hiccup spoke softly, leaning against his dragon and sighed in content, rubbing lazy circles with his fingers along the dragon's neck, letting his eyes close as he rested his head against the dragon's scales.
"Thanks against Toothless" The dragon purred in response and watched his human with bright eyes.
