A/N: Hey guys. Welcome back to How to Raise Your Dragon

Chapter plot: Toothless's thoughts after their flying lesson. Offical start to the Toothcup in this story and the start to the twist that'll come later. Mwahaha. XD Anyhow.

Note: DO NOT WORRY! I have written this chapter so that it could be translated either as pairing or brotherly. Chill! The transition shall be very subtle.


Hiccup was a dragon trainer, and the adoptive mother of a baby Twilight Rose. He himself, however, was not a dragon so he did not have the stamina that most dragons would have, even after a flight. This was further proven when the human male dragged himself into the house after a few hours of flight and could barely make it to his bed before collapsing in sleep.

Toothless was a dragon, Hiccup's dragon to be exact. With the stamina and tolerance of one, he found himself rolling his eyes when the boy fell to the floor and fell right to sleep there on the carpet. The dragon let out a soft sight, and gently nudged his human with his nose in an attempt to wake him. Seeing that this wouldn't work, he shook his head and gently slid his wing under the boy's soft stomach and balanced him there. Since Hiccup was unlike most vikings, and in fact was very scrawny and weighed close to nothing, this task was simple but still annoying.

'We were only a few feet away from his room... How tired is he?' Toothless scoffed to no one in particular as he carried the boy to his bed and not so gently tossed him onto it.

Frowning a bit more, the Night Fury climbed up onto the bed after the boy and sat in front of him and looked him over. Little puffs of dark veins could be seen under his eyes, which Toothless understood to be the bags human's get from lack of sleep. With this in mind, he began to look elsewhere on Hiccup's face out of sheer boredom. He quite liked Hiccup's face actually, as it too was unlike most vikings. Most in their village had fat or rugged faces with about as many imperfections as Toothless had scales on his body. Hiccup's however, was smooth and clean, with a light dusting of light brown freckles running across his nose.

His hair was nice also. Cleanly brushed and free flowing down to the nape of his neck. Toothless never really thought of it until now, but perhaps it was features like these that drew him to the human on the first day they had met. Hiccup had looked kind and gentle, unlike most of the vikings who would attack the Night Furies back when there were many. In a way, it helped Toothless to find trust in the boy, and perhaps thats why Hiccup did the same.

'Most dragons have mace like tails and horns on their heads.' The black dragon noted, calling back his own appearance and making another note on how he was smooth and had very little fangs to frighten with. 'Or all down their head and back, in the baby's case.'

Smiling now, he laid his head on Hiccup's chest one more and was about to shut his eyes when a scent that wasn't his or Hiccup's skin suddenly reached his nose. He recognized it though, as one of soap and eels. His smile suddenly turned to a slight grimace as he opened his eyes and looked at the baby Twilight Rose now seating on the bed next to him.

'Where were you? I didn't smell you coming in.' He huffed, laying his head down onto his human's chest once more.

'In granddaddy's room. You and momma weren't here, so I got scared.' She chirped as she hugged her tail like a little blanket, and then went to climb onto Hiccup, only to be blocked by Toothless.

'He needs his sleep. Don't wake him up.' Toothless hissed quietly, holding the baby back with his paw.

'Then why do you get to sleep on him?' Val huffed, pushing against his paw in annoyance.

'Hes my human.' Toothless shot back, nuzzling closer into Hiccup's chest.

'Well, hes my momma. So you gotta move!' Valka grunted, plopping down onto her bottom and frowning.

'Hes soft.' Well, if this wasn't a good enough reason for Toothless not to move, then he didn't know what was.

Huffing once more, Valka pouted and suddenly flapped her little wings, and in an instant she was seated on top of Toothless's head and curled up on top of him and shut her eyes. Toothless grunted, knowing that he couldn't move her off of him without waking up Hiccup. Frowning, he shut his eyes and tried to get to sleep, but the sounds of the baby's light snores and the scrapping of her tiny wings so close to his ears made that very difficult for him.

Opening his eyes once more, he looked up at Hiccup, and noticed his human's chest going up and down silently. That was another thing that put Hiccup aside from both vikings and dragons. He was quiet, and very easy to deal with when it came to sleep, though this was something that Toothless had first noted when Hiccup was knocked into a coma all those months ago. It was a very terrifying time for the dragon, as each day he had feared of loosing his friend until the day his eyes finally opened. It was almost as terrifying at their fight just a few hours earlier with the baby, and Thor only knew that Toothless wasn't about to loose Hiccup to anything else any time soon.

'Good night, Valka." He grunted to the baby.

The first thing he hadn't said to her out of anger or annoyance.
