Late that night as Hiccup and Astrid had their parents over I walked to the cove. I wondered if Frostbite was staying there for the night. naturally for me being black as the night itself, no one could see me. I looked into the cove and saw her. Under the moon, Frostbite's scales reflected like a pearl. She was gorgeous no matter which way I looked at her. She was pacing in the cove mumbling to herself and her eyes glowed like hot embers. I could stare at her forever. She suddenly looked around.
"Toothless?" she roared. "Are you here? I can smell you." I said nothing in return. She then dropped her head. "I guess I am just smelling things." I wanted to jump down there, but refrained knowing that I wouldn't be able to get back out. Oh her scales, her eyes, her soft looking form. She was better than my imagination. She then looked back around. "Toothless, I know I smell you!" She said again. I then noticed something, she was stumbling around in the dark. That was odd. Night Fury's have perfect sight at night. I noticed she was completely reliant on her nose. She then sent out an echo location roar. I saw her ears twitching and then she turned toward me. "I can see you Toothless come out!" She said looking right at me.
"I can't I get stuck down there. Come up here." I said seeing if what I thought was correct. Frostbite started to fly then ran straight into the wall. I jumped down instantly to see if she was alright. "Frostbite! Are you ok?"
"I'll be fine!" she said sniffing up toward me. I was right.
"Frostbite you're blind aren't you?" I asked. Frostbite turned away.
"Kinda." She replied. "I can see forms in the day, but I can't see anything at night." I came up next to her and rubbed up against her. "I don't sleep well. I am always afraid that something is going to attack me and I won't be able to see it."
"You know," I started putting my left wing over her. "I could stay with you tonight. That way you will have a pair of eyes looking out for you." Frostbite's face turned toward mine.
"Would you?" She asked hoping that I wasn't joking.
"Of course I will!" I said putting my nose against her's gently. She then rubbed her head under my neck then walked over to the little nest she had made for herself. I followed and crawled in next to her. I put my left wing back over her and she closed her eyes. I stayed awake for a while. I wanted to see what she looked like when she slept. I soon felt my own lids close and I snuggled closer into her. I was starting to wish that I could do this every night from now on.
The next morning after I woke, I noticed Frostbite was still asleep. I didn't want to wake her. I rested my head closer to hers and stared over her white scales. I wanted to wake up like this every morning. Even though this nest wasn't as comfy as my nest back in my den, I don't think I have ever slept better in my life. She was warm and her body was very comfy to be against.
After a while her lids fluttered open. I smiled and rubbed my head against hers.
"Good morning." I crooned. Frostbite smiled and made a sleepy giggle.
"Good morning." She replied. She then got up and out from under my wing. Frostbite then stretched and went over to the water getting a drink. I also stretched and went over to the water.
"Did you sleep better?" I asked. I was genuinely concerned.
"I haven't slept this well since my dad was still alive." She replied smiling. "Thank you so much for doing that."
"Anything for y-you." I replied, slowly catching what I was saying. I could not believe I let that one slip out of my mouth. Frostbite was also quite surprised to hear it. After what seemed like a million hours of silence, she smiled and rubbed up against me.
"You're not bad." She replied nonchalantly. "You're really sweet for a dragon." At that point I was completely smitten with her.
"Y-yes ma'am." I replied feeling a bit tipsy. She started to laugh as she looked at my love struck face.
"Come on Toothless," She said grabbing onto my tail, which sent a pleasurable sensation up and down my spine. "Let's get you out of here."
"Uh huh." I said nodding like an idiot.
"On the count of three." She said preparing her wings. "One, two, three!" We then took off into the sky. Never have I felt so happy in my life. I wanted to just dance through the skies, but with Frostbite acting as my tail I couldn't. We landed outside of my den and I saw Hiccup step out holding his head.
"Never again will I drink." he said grabbing the baskets. I crooned and he looked at me. "Hey bud, looks like you brought your girlfriend too." I felt my heart sink. I hadn't even asked Frostbite yet. I looked back at Frostbite, she was pawing the ground as if she was embarrassed. I hit Hiccup upside the head with my tail. "Bud! I already have a headache!" he whined. I just snorted. "Well I will leave you breakfast out here then. Oh and Frostbite," Hiccup said grabbing a second basket full of fish. "This is for you." Hiccup grabbed one last basket and went inside.
I pushed my basket over and started to eat. Frostbite stared at her basket and did nothing. I stopped my eating and looked over at her.
"Its just a basket of the best fish." I said thinking she was scared of what was inside. She turned toward me then back to the basket, still not even attempting to touch it. "What's wrong?" I finally asked.
"Is it really safe to eat?" She asked. I felt slightly offended that she thought that my Hiccup would try to do something to her.
"Of course its safe!" I said rather upset. Frostbite tipped over the basket and smelled the fish carefully. I was becoming annoyed. "Hiccup wouldn't poison you!"
"How can you trust that human!" She replied with the same irritated tone.
"That human, as you refer to him, is Hiccup, and he saved me!" I spat back.
"Humans are all the same!" Frostbite retorted. "They use you and when you become a problem they get rid of you!" I froze as I heard her say it. She had been with a human before. That is why she is so scared of Hiccup. I saw her look back at her food with hunger.
"How many times has a human tried to poison you?" I asked. Frostbite stayed silent. "Frostbite, tell me!"
"Three." She replied lowly. "I've been poisoned three times." I walked over and sat next to her.
"Do you want me to be your taste tester?" I asked. Before she could tell me no, I took one of her fish and ate it. She watched in horror as it went down my throat. "No poison." I said replacing the fish I took with one of mine. She then took another cautionary sniff and ate one. I smiled as she realized I was right and dug into her basket.
