Hiccup blushes softly, his legs at Toothless's sides with his body sitting on the older male's lap. The little brown bunny, noticing the heat in the room being increased, went into its little bed on one of the bedside counter, getting some sleep.

"Toothless…" Hiccup whispers softly as he feels Toothless's breath against his lips, his beautiful lips close to Hiccup's small ones. Toothless caresses his waist, kissing the corner of his lips.

"Hicca…" He whispers huskily against Hiccup's ears, pulling him closer. "You're so frail…" He kisses his cheeks and trails down to his neck, leaving butterfly kisses. When he trails back up, his eyes are half-lid, holding a beautiful, dark, husky pair of toxic eyes. "You're so delicate…a perfect beauty…" He compliments him with his beautiful voice, his tone filled with love. Hiccup grips on Toothless's shirt, his body trembling with excitement.

Rule number 2 just been destroyed.

"Too…Toothless…" Hiccup feels both hands caressing both of his cheeks, looking at the smile being formed on Toothless's lips.

"Hicca…" He leans his face to Hiccup's and places his lips against his.

This kiss was sweet and gentle at first. But soon, his lips grow more dominate, more needy. Hiccup moans from Toothless nibbling on his lower lip, giving access for Toothless's tongue to enter. His hands roam inside beautiful, black hair while Toothless's hands slip under his shirt, rubbing the sides of his stomach. The touches, the kiss, it was intoxicating and addictive like a drug. Toothless, being the hot fellow he is, starts exploring Hiccup's mouth, dominating his tongue and mouth. Moans and groans escape Hiccup's lips while his heart beats with heartfelt beats.

And there goes rule number 1. If Gobber knew the rules are eliminated, hell is gonna break loose.

They release each other from that magnificent kiss, panting with cheeks flustered red and a trail of saliva between their lips.

Hiccup suddenly stares at something, eyes widen with surprise. There, on Toothless's bedside counter, is a brown-framed picture of two young boys, no older than 12. One boy looks so much like Toothless in his family photos when he was younger…

But what shocks him the most is the other boy in the picture.

Brown locks of hair, emerald green eyes, freckled cheeks…

It was him!

Hiccup reaches for the picture and grabs it, looking at it closer for better inspection. True enough, it really is him, smiling with Toothless's younger self as if they're the best of friends. "Who…Who is this, Toothless…?" Toothless notices the picture and smiles, quite sadly.

"I don't know…he never gave me his name but he was my best friend…"

Hiccup's eyes widen with his fingers gripping more.

"We met when we were in middle school, about 12 years old. It was on the first day of school and I was the new kid."

"Middle…school…" Hiccup's brows furrow with confusion. His memories on middle school are fuzzy, foggy even.

"I was the new kid and I got bullied a lot for having no parents. When two guys start insulting me, he came along."

"Leave him alone!"

A frail boy called out, running towards the two, large boys, about a year or 2 older, and a black-haired boy who's gripping his biceps.

Hiccup's eyes widen as he starts to remember a few flashes of his time in middle school.

"I never understood why he tried to protect me. Those guys were obviously tougher and stronger but he never backed down. He was making a stand."

"Who's this small fry? Get out of the way, brat!" One boy said, pushing the frail boy down to the ground.

"I got mad when one of those bullies hurt him. Being quite reckless, I attacked them and made sure they run home with their tails between their legs, so the saying goes." Hiccup looks at him like a fish out of water.

"You beat them up?" Toothless shrugs.

"Instinct is kinda my good point in fighting. My friend said I was pretty strong and cute, wondering why anyone would bully me. He blushed when he realized what he said and tried to get away but being persistent, I try to befriend him…and we have been close ever since."

"Then…are you two still close?"

"We were. We always meet up at a park, just a block away from the middle school and play together. We had so much fun and I always feel so happy there. He and I were like peanut butter and jelly. Everyone in school thought so too…But then, one day, those bullies came back and I tried to protect him as hard as I could. But somehow, one of them escaped my sight and chased him out on the streets. A car drove by and…" Toothless looks away, pain and guilt written all over his face. "He got into the hospital…He got into a coma and I waited for him to get up. I still go to school because I know he wouldn't like it if I shirk my responsibilities but when it's the weekends, I would sit by his side day and night, hoping he would wake up and say 'Hey, bud'." Toothless laughs, his eyes filling with tears. "Every time I fell asleep next to him, I dreamt he wake up and tell me one of his funny, sarcastic jokes. But whenever I wake up or came back from school to find him still unconscious, I feel even worse. The last expression I ever saw him make was before he ran to the road…his eyes were full of tears, he looked at me like I'm some kind of monster and his eyes full of fear…I never saw him so broken, so scared."

Hiccup stares at the picture in his hands, his eyes stinging and his fingers trembling. Toothless had been friends with him.

And Hiccup forgotten about it all.

"S-So…what…what happened to him…?"

"I never saw him since then…" Toothless mutters quietly, his hands at his sides. "I never knew what happened to him…I visited the hospital and the doctor there said his father has taken him home…But they moved before I could see them. My friend has amnesia and it hurts not being able to be remembered by your closest friend, especially when you didn't get a chance to say goodbye…" Toothless closes his eyes and sighs sadly. "I never got his name, as strange as it is…My sister took that picture in secret and wanted to blackmail or tease me about it…" He opens his eyes and looks at the sleeping rabbit and smiles, patting it gently. "But…I can always remember the good times because of little Hircules."

"H-Hircules?"

"Haha. Yeah. You heard of Hercules, right? Brave and daring for others in need? Well, my friend was like that too when he tried to protect me when we first met. Because of that, I named my rabbit Hircules. Although, I changed the 'e' to 'i' because…well, the 'i' means…" Toothless hesitates for a moment. Hiccup swallows the lump of guilt in his throat and asks quietly.

"What does the 'i' mean?" Toothless closes his eyes and sighs softly, his face calm but serious. Deadly serious. Once he opens his eyes, he turns to Hiccup with his eyes dark and serious.

"I love you."
