Next day came and finally the village could have a little peace from Mildews return the day before and not just that, but also his panicking voice screaming around in the village like a little girl, whenever a dragon passed or sniffed him to the ground. Literally. The day before, Hiccup had asked his friends to meet him in a clearing in the woods, just off raven's point. This time he decided to take them and their dragons to a little clearing he and Toothless knew, and loved, so well.
There they lay, half covered in the show and soft grass revealed some places underneath the snow. Toothless crawled around, jumping like a maniac as he enjoyed the feeling of grass and snow, both his favorites, brush against his scaly skin. Hiccup stood there in his fur coat from his dear grandfather, giggling at the sight of his friend enjoying the moment and he couldn't wait to see his friends dragons end up being the same and leave their riders dumbfounded. He had discovered the little clearing after a few attempts, that didn't end very well, on flying Toothless just a few days after they had met and he tried to figure out a way of using the tail properly.
Suddenly Toothless bounced on Hiccup, pinning him to the ground as they both laughed. Hiccup pretended to punch him as Toothless played along by defending himself.
"Dragons and Vikings, enemies again! Locked in combat till the bitter-," Toothless laid his heavy head on top of Hiccups chest as he stared in to Hiccup eyes which moved quickly away as he pretended to play dead. "Aaahh," Hiccup fake groaned, laying his hands down in defeat, but soon brought them back up as Toothless brought out his big, slimy tongue against his skin.
"Aww, Toothless, come on," Finally, Hiccup managed to escape Toothless's grasp, pushing himself up from the ground as he examined the saliva on his furry coat. "It will be a miracle to get this out, pff."
"Looks like someone's been having fun lately," Astrid came out of her hideout since she couldn't keep herself from watching Hiccup laugh and him not worrying about anything. Toothless made a unknown, strange sound from his throat, sounding as laughter. Dragon like laughter. Hiccup frowned at the sound, gathering some saliva from his clothes and 'attacked' Toothless with it by lubricating it all around his body. Astrid stood there, her dragon Stormfly watching over her shoulder as her rider scratched her chin while the two watched the great dragon master and what looked like his little puppy, having a saliva fight with each other. Of course Toothless had a better advantage on that
Stormfly watched happily, deciding to join the two by licking her rider playfully. "Eww, Stormfly hahaha," Astrid laughed, trying to wipe out the saliva but getting no luck. She threw it back at Stormfly who wiped it away from her snout with her wings. Stormfly returned the action by chasing after her like a maniac, sometimes pinning Astrid to the ground so that the snow attached to her clothing due to the saliva.
"Ehem," Someone fake coughed, snapping the four out of their games. They turned their heads to find Snotlout tapping his foot annoyed with Fishlegs and the twins standing behind him along with their dragons. Toothless let Hiccup out of his grip, helped him to stand and face the group while wiping some saliva and snow off of him. "So? What did you call us here for?" Snotlout asked, scratching his nightmare's chin.
"Right," Hiccup began, standing up straight with a hand scratching Toothless's chin. "You know, since there's not going to be training before Snoggletog is over, I thought that maybe we could have a little day off," He grinned, walking over to Stormfly and scratched her chin happily. He led her towards the clearing of snow that hid the softest land on the island. He whispered in her 'ear' telling her to lightly melt the snow. She looked at him confused but obeyed shortly after and melted it perfectly. Almost immediately, she ran off to the clearing of grass, shortly after followed by the rest of the dragons. Their riders watched confused as their companions rolled around in the grass, looking like small puppies.
"Wow, what is that?" Fishlegs asked excitedly, squealing in happiness to finally learn something more about dragons.
"I call it, dragon nip!" Hiccup said dramatically, waving his hands in the air. He grabbed a handful of dragon nip and walked over to Toothless with his hand. He rubbed the grass against his snout, watching him fall to the ground in delight. Turning around, he found the teens dumbfounded, but it didn't even pass a second before they were off doing the same thing to their dragons.
Once all the dragons had fallen in a 'delighted coma' as you could call it, their riders leaned against their bellies and relaxed as they chatted about different and weird stuff all day long.
