Toothless sighed as Hiccup jumped off his back, hooking his arms to his 'wings'. Didn't the boy ever learn? This was bound to end in disaster. Again. He never understood why Hiccup insisted on learning to fly on his own. After all, he had a dragon didn't he?

"Yeah!" Hiccup hooted as he nosed dived towards the ground. Toothless curled his wings and shot downwards until he was flying (falling would be more appropriate here) parallel to his rider.

When the boy noticed Toothless' glum expression, he laughed.

"Come on! Smile a bit! Nothing is going to happen." The dragon grumbled in reply, mimicking Hiccup's tone as he made a face, causing Hiccup's laughter to increase.

It was when they were out of the cloud cover when Hiccup finally decided to spread his fake wings and the dragon followed his example, both gaining altitude due to the drift. Toothless allowed himself to grin. He had to admit, no matter how dangerous, this was fun.

Hiccup hooted and the dragon roared along with him as the winds pulled them both back into the cloud cover.

"Hiccup!"

The dragon turned his head towards Astrid's voice and his grin widened when he saw Stormfly. He flew towards the pair, delighted, completely forgetting about his rider. Or so he pretended.

"Uh...Toothless? You know I can't turn on these things, right?" Hiccup called out to his dragon, trying to flap with his leather wings. Toothless snorted in reply. This would teach Hiccup to learn how to fly without him. Besides, they were high up in the blue skies, not a land form to be seen.

"Toothless!" Astrid said, stern. He looked up at her with huge puppy dog eyes. She sighed, shaking her head.

"Go get him before hie finds a mountain to crash into or something. He's flown pretty far off, I can't see him anymore and there's a storm approaching, which is why I came to-"

Her words were cut off as the Night Fury flew as fast as he could towards the direction his rider had been gliding. The fact that Hiccup could be in danger scared him and knowing him, he's probably headed straight for the..

"Storm! Toothless! Help!" Hiccup screamed as the dragon shot towards him, clasping him safely as he curled his wings around him. The night fury looked around, Trying to find some sense in the dark as he spotted a tiny island. He dropped Hiccup on the ground and the rain pelted down on the both of them.

"There!" Hiccup screamed over the thunder. "A cave!" Toothless seemed to notice it as well as he grabbed his rider and flew for it.

Toothless shook his head as he tried to get rid of the water. Hiccup ruffled his hair as well.

"That was...really close, huh?" Hiccup said nervously. The dragon looked at him and narrowed his eyes. He curled his tail around his legs and pulled him to the ground.

"Oww..." Hiccup moaned. Toothless snorted and went over to him, dropping his head onto his stomach as Hiccup left out a strangled 'oomph'. They would leave once the storm stopped but till then he was stuck with his overprotective dragon being...well, extra overprotective.
