Prompt: Toothless falls in Love
Okay... For those who don't like Blue/Toothless... you may be better sitting this one out XD but it was a prompt, and i'm not too comfortable with including my own OC's yet... so I used canon. Forgive me lol. I know there's a size difference but love has no limits! XD just open your mind people. But I understand not everyone will like this.
Thanks to phalalcrocorax on Deviantart for the prompt!
'Impossible' Toothless thought to himself in complete disbelief. 'Absolutely impossible'
"Something wrong buddy?" Hiccup asked, glancing up at his dragon, who seemed to be in a distressed state.
'Oh no Hiccup. I'm fine! Perfectly fine!' Toothless grumbled, glancing down at his rider with confusion and a slight hint of panic in his eyes.
Hiccup raised an eyebrow at seeing Toothless in such a distressed manner, and glanced over to look at where the Night Fury's gaze had been directed to before-hand. His eyebrows shot further up into his hairline and he turned to look at Toothless, an amused smile on his face.
"Has Blue done something to freak you out?" he asked, glancing over at the Nadder, who was currently being groomed by Astrid. His eyes roved towards her, and she glanced up, giving him a brief smile and a small wave, causing the Viking to redden and look back towards Toothless, flustered.
'I wouldn't say it's something she's done' Toothless groaned, feeling flustered himself. 'It's me with the problem' His ears pressed back against his head as he glanced over at Blue again. 'I mean haven't you noticed? It's mating season, there aren't exactly any female Night Fury's around and i'm starting to see her in a whole new light!'
"Oh that's right it's mating season" Hiccup mused, rubbing his chin in thought. "So you've fallen under love's spell buddy?" He joked, lightly nudging the dragon in the side. "Go sweep her off of her feet or something."
'Are you MAD?' Toothless said in distaste, glaring at his rider. 'Dragons tend to typically stay within species. She's most probably waiting for a male Nadder Hiccup.'
Hiccup saw the sceptical look Toothless gave him and smiled slightly. "You helped save all dragons from the Green Death buddy. You're probably a big hit with the dragon females"
'Then what happened with you?' he teased, though he knew Hiccup had become popular with Viking teenage girls, though he only noticed Astrid. He glanced back at his tail and sighed. 'I'm not really mate material anymore. Usually we'd have to show how strong we are, how good we can fly and such...but I can't fly anymore. They may be interested, but no female dragon in her right mind would want to be stuck with a lame dragon.'
Hiccup glanced back at where Toothless was looking, and the Night Fury saw shame and pain fill the bright green eyes of his human.
"Oh" was all Hiccup murmured, understanding. "I see...Sorry bud" he sighed, gently stroking his scales.
'Don't worry about it' Toothless sighed, and sat down to watch Blue with a wistful expression on his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Hiccup looking at him thoughtfully before glancing over at Astrid and Blue, before a small grin took over his features.
"Later bud" Hiccup said quickly, trying to hide his grin. "I gotta speak to Astrid about something"
Toothless watched him curiously as Hiccup half ran and half limped over to Astrid, who looked ready to beat him up for trying to run when he obviously had trouble even walking with his prosthetic. He sighed inwardly and trained his gaze back over to the Nadder who was grooming herself. Toothless noted the way the sun shone from her scales, making them almost glitter in the light. She was so sleek, so majestic, so...so...
'Snap out of it Toothless!' he told himself suddenly, embarrassed by his own thoughts. 'You don't need a mate. You're fine the way you are' he let out a low groan and stood up, looking around him, noting that most of the dragons had vanished, most probably the majority had found their mated pair and had left to, well, mate. He glanced over at Blue again and a small glimmer of hope arose in him as he saw she still didn't have a mate. He pushed the hope down, shaking his head at his own naivety. It was only a matter of time.
'Speaking of which' he thought bitterly, seeing a male Nadder fly down towards Blue, its chest puffed out in an attempt to seem powerful. Blue glanced up as he approached, and Toothless looked away, turning around to leave. 'I do not need to see this' he murmured in a crestfallen manner. He was pretty sure he shouldn't be feeling like someone had just rammed a knife through his heart... but he did. And this pain, knowing he'd lost his chance to secure Blue as his mate was eating away at him inside, and regret, regret for not trying to speak to her hurt threatened to overwhelm him. 'At least she'll be happy' he thought miserably, continuing to walk, though every step increased the pain.
'Hey Fury!' he heard behind him, and he felt his spirits lift slightly. He recognized that voice... But it couldn't be...He turned quickly, and felt his mouth drop open slightly as he saw Blue flying towards him, the male Nadder staring after her in disbelief, having been turned down.
'What is it?' Toothless asked, unable to comprehend what was going on.
'You looked a bit depressed over here' Blue told him, landing beside him easily and giving him an concerned glance.
'Never mind me' he scoffed, and glanced over at the male Nadder again. 'What about him? Aren't you supposed to be getting a mate?'
Blue followed his gaze and rolled her eyes slightly before looking back at him.
'I'm not interested' she drawled, and Toothless felt the pain in his heart lessen dramatically, though he kept his expression neutral.
'Oh?' he asked, sitting back on his haunches. 'Got someone else in mind then?'
'You could say that' she agreed in a peaceful tone, though she seemed a little bit flustered.
'Anyone I know of?' Toothless asked in a teasing tone, though inside he was starting to slowly die again.
'In a manner of speaking' she mumbled, and he noted with some interest that she wouldn't look him directly in the eyes.
'He approached you yet?' he asked, glancing to his left to see both of their riders watching them eagerly, and fought the urge to roll his eyes.
'No' Blue admitted, looking a bit crestfallen. 'He doesn't seem uh... particularly interested in getting a mate'
'Oh?' Toothless asked, trying to make his tone seem sympathetic, though inside, though he felt selfish about it, he was a bit relieved that she hadn't gotten a mate yet.
'What about you?' Blue asked heavily, inclining her head towards him. 'Do YOU have a mate?'
'No' Toothless admitted, looking around awkwardly. 'I have someone in mind, but she likes another dragon I think'
'What species dragon is she?' Blue asked, for some reason he couldn't fathom, looking quite crestfallen.
He stared at her a moment, trying to build up his confidence.
'Just tell her' he urged himself. 'Just tell her and then at least you've done it! Come on! Night Fury, Devil of the skies afraid to tell a dragoness he likes her?' he scoffed inwardly. 'Suck it up'
Toothless heaved a sigh at this point, and stared her straight in the eyes.
'She's you' He admitted, and saw her eyes widen slightly in obvious shock. 'Oh what was that?' he said innocently, looking around. 'I think I heard Hiccup calling...Bye Blue!' he turned, cursing his honesty at the worst possible time. He didn't even mean to say it. It just came out before he had the chance to stop it. He began to run towards Hiccup, risking a glance back at Blue, who seemed to have shaken herself out of her stupor and smiled at him warmly, causing his heart to speed up slightly.
'Is it possible?' he mused to himself, once again feeling hope rise up inside of him. He turned and let out a small yelp as he barrelled into both Astrid and Hiccup, knocking them both over and falling on top of them, Blue's laughs echoing behind him.
"Ugh...How'd it go buddy?" Hiccup groaned, trying to push the dragon off of him.
'Pretty well actually' Toothless admitted with a small grin and Hiccup gave a strained grin back.
"That's great and all Toothless...but get off!"
