A/N: It's already been a year since I first posted here… Ah memories…

Huh… I was actually flamed. I almost didn't believe it when I saw it in the reviews for chapter 3, but it was too lulzy to pass up. So, it shall be immortalized here. Enjoy.

"Does no one find this insanely creepy? The human boy French kissed it with a DRAGON, a REPTILE, that is wrong on too many levels to count and you completely butchered Toothless! HIS character is not like that at all; sure he loves Hiccup, but just no, no, this is sick, sick and wrong! It's bestiality! You wrote about it, you published it, and people like this. WHAT? This is why fan-fiction has a bad name for itself and I apologize for being rude about this, but damn. Ugh. I can't even talk about this anymore." –Sarah =Edited slightly for incorrect grammar ;)

I realize this doesn't appeal (Understatement) to everyone, Sarah. That's kind of, you know, why I put the character relationship in the summary, and rated it M… I'm curious to know why you went all the way the chapter 3 when there were obvious hints at the pairing in the preceding chapters… o.O Oh well, it's okay. I accept your apology.

On with the story!

Chapter 11

All Together Now…

Hiccup frowned as he saw dozens of Vikings in the square, apparently arguing (not that it was anything new…) and judging by the way he heard his and Toothless's name being thrown…

It wasn't a good sign.

He was a little surprised to see the twins and Snotlout running up to him. Tuffnut and Ruffnut came up to him first, butting into what the other was saying. "Hey uh Hiccup, we got a problem-" Ruffnut then butted in, "-Thanks to this troll, everyone's going crazy!" "Well if dragon butt here would've just stayed quiet-"

Hiccup was anything but surprised as the "conversation" quickly turned into a shouting and punching match between the two.

Hiccup ignored them and ran down to Snotlout, asking him to explain. "Oh well, so I was using my AWESOME powers of persuasion with those two, and 'Legs to tell everyone you were like marrying your dragon."

Hiccup frowned. "And…"

"It's not going well. Actually, it's like the opposite of my awesome face. That's how bad it is." Hiccup face-palmed at his cousin's obviously arrogant response, and growled at the fact there was even more drama to deal with.

Really, it was like his whole life was just someone's play of drama for their amusement.

Hiccup rubbed Toothless's neck and asked, "So what's everyone arguing about?" He knew the answer, but he only hoped it just wasn't…

The twins at this point had stopped wrestling and answered him. "Those guys are arguing about whether you can marry a dragon-" Ruff butted in, "-and the others are saying a Viking hero should get a reward like that if he wants."

Toothless tilted her head. Why was saving her species from a monster like Red Death not enough for her and Hiccup to simply be mates? Really, Vikings were such incredulous idiots at times…

"And where's Fishlegs?"

Snotlout answered, "He's still stuck in the crowd, keeping it from going into an awesome mob versus mob thing."

Toothless nudged Hiccup's side, trying to get him to follow her into the crowd so that the other kids would follow and stand by for safety while Hiccup explained what was going on.

Before she could utter her request, though, his hand found her muzzle. He moved it awkwardly in an attempt to... comfort her? Draw comfort from her? She did not know. It didn't matter.

Her old self would never have endured the indignity of being touched by a human, but then again, her old self had never known that one human could be so devastatingly, deliciously hot.

"It's ok Toothless. We'll do this, go home, and have a nice fish for you. This should be easy compared to taking down that giant freak." Hiccup grinned sheepishly, his hand on her muzzle.

They ran (Or more like Hiccup rode on Toothless's back) down to the crowd to calm them down.

"Hey, you guys?" Snotlout grabbed the twins apart from their fight so they could listen.

"Yeah?" they asked.

"We are gonna go down there, find Fishlegs, and make sure Hiccup there gets there safe. And if I see one bruise on my scrawny cousin's face, SOMEONE is going to answer to my beautiful face. And trust me, you won't like my face when it's kicking your troll butt."

Tuffnut looked at Ruff, back to Snotlout, and nodded. They ran after hiccup, with Tuff tripping Ruff along the way, and ran through the crowd.

"Guy, guys, please!" Hiccup shouted, with as much response from the angry crowd as hiccup got before he met toothless. "No respect, I tell you…" He sighed, and looked over to Toothless.

She understood at where he was coming from, and nodded. She then shot a fireball into the crowd, causing a small explosion. Several of the smaller Vikings flew up, thrown from the blast.

Hiccup saw this, his eyes wide. He smacked his forehead, looked at Toothless, and said, "Yeah, blowing up half the village is really going to get us some acceptance... Hel, I said it once; I'll say it again. We're dead."

Snotlout had called Firewyrm to move the crowd before him (at least, the ones who hadn't been tossed about by Toothless's fireball) to listen and took this opportunity to speak, grabbing a nearby crate someone had thrown amidst the fighting. "Okay everyone. I know it'll be hard to listen when you've got my face looking at you, but LISTEN UP!"

The Vikings stared up at Snotlout, a few of them raising their eyebrows at his obvious arrogance. Among the Vikings, Fishlegs could be found on the ground, presumably unconscious from accidentally having a hard punch thrown at him while he tried to get the situation under control.

"Okay, so the story here is that Hiccup and Toothless –The dragon, not my aunt's grandma- is a couple. Now if anyone has a problem with that, they will have to take it up with the hands that blinded a fat-ass dragon hundreds of times my size. I mean if it wasn't for me –and Hiccup- we'd all be sitting around in a dragon's stomach right now. After all, I was the FIRST Viking to ever ride a Nightmare, and most of you still can't ride a dragon. So yeah, let those two be all lovey-dovey, it's the least you guys can do after we whipped that fat-ass AND got all the dragons to be all peaceful with us and stuff. And another thing-"

Hiccup sat back during the speech with Toothless. She was continually rolling her eyes, mainly due to Snotlout's "embellishments" in his speech.

After Snotlout was done, he stepped off of the crate he was standing on, looking proud of himself, and thought to himself. "Now to bask in the glory of my awesome speech skills..." he started to think, before the crowd broke in to fighting again.

Snotlout's eyebrow twitched. "HEY! Are you even listening to my awesome speech of great and powerful truthiness?" Snotlout shouted, before having Firewyrm use her tail to cut down the arguing Vikings, some falling on their face.

Hiccup groaned while Toothless flicked her tail. She wondered how cutting down the people you were trying to persuade was going to help their problem.

Snotlout started to argue with whatever Vikings hadn't been knocked on their bums and unconscious, while Hiccup looked over to see the twins arguing how to drag an unconscious Fishlegs out of the mess. He placed his hand on her snout, and of how things were not going the way he had hoped for them to go…

Toothless blinked. Faintly, very faintly, she felt the touch of his hand, smaller than her smallest claw, softer than even the thinnest of her scales, stronger than anything she had ever destroyed, and within, hotter than the fires of Hel.

"ENOUGH!" A hammer flew in-between everyone, crashing, leaving a deep mark in the soil. Everyone looked to see Gobber, with a frown of utter annoyance on his face.

"Gobber?" Hiccup yelled, completely shocked his mentor came.

Gobber looked over to Hiccup. "Aye, laddie." Hiccup shook his head and asked, "B-but where have you been all this time?"

"Well, after that little beast took my sock, he burned my undies, and so I had to go buy more undies. It was horrible! I was drafty all day!" Hiccup made a disgusted face. "That's WAY too much info Gobber…"

Gobber shrugged. "The point is, if it's such a big deal, why do ya all care? I mean, so what if the boy wants to be with one of the beast- err, dragons, why not? It's not as if his lads would be good for fighting, they'd probably come out all scrawny and fish-bone like him anyway."

Both boy and dragoness sighed. Hiccup wasn't that scrawny…

Everyone grumbled, but silenced themselves soon enough. Gobber was the blacksmith, and as great a weapon they all had to argue with, getting on Gobber's bad side could mean never having a weapon worked to perfection ever again –or, gods forbid, never having a new weapon ever again.

"Good then. We're all in agreement." Gobber nodded to himself. He walked over to Hiccup, "Well laddie, that's I can do for ya. You're gonna have to convince your father yourself." Hiccup watched his "mentor" walk off back to his house.

Hiccup stroked Toothless's head slowly, softly caressing the midnight black scales. "I guess dad's the only person we've got to convince left… I hope the elder's conviction is enough to change his mind…"

Hiccup got up, walking over to his cousin Snotlout. "I'm going to find my dad… You guys can handle things here, right?"

Snotlout raised an eyebrow but quickly turned his face into a confident smirk. "Oh yeah, I've got this all over me. You can leave the crowd to me, my pinky could handle the whole lot of them."

Hiccup nodded awkwardly, hoping he and the other kids wouldn't screw it up. Hiccup grabbed Toothless's neck and headed back to his house, more or less ready to see how his dad would receive the news Hiccup had told him earlier.

Hiccup entered through the front, while his dragoness entered quietly through the back, mainly to be a sort of bodyguard in case something went amiss, but to keep whatever father-son confrontation they would have be natural and not influenced by her presence.

"Hiccup."

Hiccup winced as his father closed the front door behind him. "Dad I just need you to listen to me, me and Toothless-"

Stoick raised his hand with a grim expression on his face. "I heard the racket outside."

"Dad, me and Toothless are in-"

"And I heard you talking with the Elder."

"Dad, can you just let me get a word in-"

"And I… think I agree with her."

"I mean love is- w-wh-WHAT?"

Hiccup's jaw opened and hung there, Toothless's hidden form in a state of shock of his father's response. His father sighed deeply, hesitance to continue written all over his face, but…

"I over heard what you were talking to the elder about, son. I was going in there to ask why she would allow that despite your actions, but… We talked for a while, and she told me to give you two a try… A chance before I lose my son again."

Hiccup's worried face turned into a shocked expression and then a hopeful one. "Really dad? I-I mean wow, I just can't- thank you dad!" Hiccup promptly hugged his father as Stoick nodded. "I love you too much son… I can't let this get between us after finally getting through to ya after all this time." Toothless crooned at the scene before her, glad it had been resolved peacefully.

Father and son embraced in a loving hug, or at least they tried to, until Toothless decided she wanted to be a part of the family again, and easily toppled them over with her weight and the force of her "hug".

"TOOTHLESS! WE'RE TRYING TO HAVE A MOMENT!" "ARGH, YOU BEAST, GET OFF!"

Toothless made her gurgling noise that sounded somewhat like a dragon's way of laughing as she leapt off them and picked up Hiccup by his vest with her fangs.

Stoick mumbled some curses under his breath, and stood back up. "You're forgetting someone Hiccup." Hiccup blinked.

He told everyone about their relationship, and everyone was –more or less- going along with it, so who else could he have forgotten to convince that their love should be allowed?

Suddenly, it hit him. "Astrid."
