Moar drabbles! I'm With You by Avril Lavine by the end of the story adds a nice touch of snow.

The world is just so big.

The village is just stupidly small compared to what I've seen. I don't even remember why I was there in the first place.

And with the land all spread out ahead of me, I'm so prepared to go anywhere I want. I've got wings, I've got energy, and I've got all the time in the world. There's nothing stopping me from leaving!

I've heard Stormfly and the others talk about a land where there are endless amounts of fish, the winds blow in all the right directions and the land never dries up. The place where dragon nip grows all year around and the forests are abundant with caves. It's any dragon's dream.

When I wanted to bring the others along, though, they all shook their heads. I don't know why, but they sound pretty stupid. Who wouldn't want to fly off into a land of paradise?

I'm nearly there, anyway. It's been a day already since I've left the island, and I'm feeling better than ever already. There's just a small tingle in my brain that racks me of something, but I just can't put a paw on it.

But what should I care? I'm young, I'm free. I'll live my life and I won't look back. I'll fly into the distance, the land of endless possibilities.

And it's all there for me!

The night is falling quickly. It's usually like this near winter, when the sun sets early and the moon rises incredibly fast. The people go back to bed early, and the world seems to just slow down to a haze as the populace find ways to keep themselves warm to the darkening world.

I have several blankets over me, yet I don't feel warm at all.

I told myself that I'd duke it out and wait for Toothless to come back. I reminded myself of the days that we once had, flying in the sky, back when the world below us meant nothing, the time where everything just felt so damn right.

Standing here, by the window, I crave for him to come back. I want him to be here for me, even to just say goodbye. I wish he knew what he meant to me, and I want him by my side.

I'm sorry that I've been a terrible friend, Toothless. I should have cared about you more, loved you more, listened to you more. I know you're a dragon, but you're more human than anyone I've ever seen. You saved my life so many times, but you're outright killing me now.

Please come back, Toothless.

What the hell!

There is no paradise at all. The lands that the dragons mentioned were a place of smoldering ruins and war-torn chaos. There was nothing at all with paradisaical themes, and there isn't even fish in the sea! This can't be real!

I have no place to go now. I don't know where to be, because the biggest dream of my life has just broken down. I don't have any hope in me left, and I feel terrible.

The aching in my brain continues to grow. It reminds me of something that I don't remember of. I wonder… I wonder.

Does anyone care about me anymore? They lead me into this place, and for what? To get rid of me?

Stormfly hates me. Hookfang hates me, but I hate him too. The other dragons probably won't talk to me anymore, and I really want them too. I'm not a social dragon, but I'm not a completely solitary one, either.

Night Furies are solitary, a voice in my head recalls.

Then why am I suddenly craving this need for acceptance?

Because someone taught you how to feel accepted.

Who? Stormfly? She never taught me anything… I don't remember. Or did she?

Was telling me to come here meant to mean something?

You taught him as well, remember?

I taught him? Do I know anyone who I…

Wait…

"Astrid, this is Toothless. Toothless, Astrid."

"Toothless, huh…? I swear that you had…"

Oh, no.

Oh, no no no.

Hiccup.

The one who taught me how to be a dragon again. The one who I was supposed to be with all my life. The one who have me enough back, just for me to leave him there.

I have to find him.

I turn around, my wings flapping furiously as the snow begins to fall all around me, signally the beginning of winter.

Just hang in there, Hiccup.

The cold night only makes me feel worse and worse. The blankets aren't anything compared to the snow that's pouring down on us. Some of the villagers have come out to celebrate, namely Astrid, but I just can't bring myself to celebrate with her, knowing that Toothless is out there somewhere.

I can't stand to think that he doesn't care about me anymore.

But it's reality, isn't it?

He hasn't been back for three days, so why should he be back tonight?

He's gone. And there's nothing I can do about it.

I want to, but I can't.

I want to be with you, Toothless. Why'd you have to leave?

I don't even care about my crush. Where is Toothless?

Where is that dragon who changed my life? The dragon that showed me that life was more than just staying in a stupid forge and standing to be bullied?

Where is the dragon who showed me that I /meant something?

Dammit, Toothless! I need you!

I sit on the ground, watching the window as it snows harder and harder. My hands are cold, my chest is cold, and my heart is completely frozen.

Toothless… you… reptile… friend…

Why leave me to rot in a place like this?

What am I supposed to be, now?

Just roar or something! I need an answer!

Screech!

Huh?

A large, black color is darting through the sky- right towards the house.

Toothless?

In the distance, I see two giant wings, flapping furiously through the cold. The image gets bigger and bigger, and finally, I can make out a dragon flying straight at me.

Toothless! He's… he's…

I'm stunned from shock as two green eyes are suddenly in front of me, standing on the window curiously.

"Toothless?"

Toothless nods fervently, jumping into the room and tackling me down.

"Ow! Hey! Toothless!"

He wraps his legs around me, hugging me tightly and whimpering softly.

"Hey, Toothless…" I say breathlessly. "You're back…"

Another whimper confirms that. He snuggles tightly around me, wings folded back in rest.

"I'm sorry that I didn't treat you well enough," I say.

Toothless looks at me, his eyes wide with concern. They say I'm sorry.

"Me too, bud," I say, stroking his head softly.

Toothless croons and hugs me tightly. He rolls to the side so I can breathe properly.

And when he does, I hug him right back.

"Are you going anywhere else, Toothless?" I ask cautiously.

A growl that can only mean /no resonates from inside of him.

And, through the night, Toothless never leaves my side. I see his restored taifin, and I see him next to me once again.

Toothless.

My… Hiccup. I never thought… I'm sorry, Hiccup.

I should have stayed by your side.

I was too indulged in being able to fly again to remember about you, but now that I do, it all comes back in a torrent of emotions and pain that I can't fathom.

I left you for something that I thought was a paradise, but I quickly found out that paradise isn't anywhere far at all.

It is being next to you, by your side, that gives me the strongest sense of happiness that I ever had.

I'm so sorry that I ever left you in the first place.

No travelling that I've ever done makes me as happy as just cuddling here by your side, watching as you fall asleep slowly.

I don't know why I ever left you in the first place. You're always here for me, and I never thought of that before. Now, I know how much you mean to me.

Thank you, Hiccup.

Yay! I finally got this thing done! I will (hopefully) be able to update Searching For Lightning in a few days or so.
