Toothless broke his human's thought about writing a book.

"Are you ready to go Hiccup? We need to get going so we can get there today." Hiccup slowly stood and wrapped his arms around the dragon's neck.

"I'm as ready as I can be." He slipped into Toothless' back and they set out. The day was clear while they fly towards the wall of fog. Toothless set down in a small rock poking out of the ocean.

"Are you sure about this Hiccup? We could just leave if you want. Go far away and never look back." He looked up into the fog, knowing the way through it. His voice was weak, barely above a whisper. Hiccup absently scratched at the dragon's neck, also looking into the fog.

"Now that we're here, I won't lie to you, Toothless. I'm not so sure anymore. One part of me says suck it up and go in. But the other says that we're making a huge mistake and it would be easier to just go away." Hiccup choked up. "I just, just don't know anymore. I know we'll be safe in there, I can just feel it. If I'm wrong. We could get hurt or, die. If you died, I'd, I couldn't live, I'd kill mys…" Toothless shook Hiccup from his back.

"Don't say things like that. I'm not going to die." Hiccup folded in on himself and started to cry. "Oh come on Hiccup don't cry. Please?"

"I just can't. If you died I don't know what I'd do. When you're not around I can't focus. You're always there for me, even if I'm being an asshole. You never complain. When I was sick, you took care of me. Toothless I can't function without you." Toothless sighed to himself as he laid down.

"You know I don't know how to deal with you when you're like this. I know you're scared and I know feel like throwing up and I know you feel like your head is going to explode. Hiccup if you don't want to go through with this we don't have to. But this is the last time you can say no. Otherwise we go in and we will have to deal with what happens. And since I know that you still want to go in I'm going to set some ground rules." Toothless shuffled over towards Hiccup while the boy looked up. "Rule one. Listen to everything I say and follow any directions I give you. Two. If I tell you to run. Run. Don't second guess me. Don't try to save me. Run and don't look back. Please."

"But Toothless!"

"No Hiccup!" The dragon shouted. He instantly calmed down. "I won't lose you. You think that you can't live without me? Do you think that I don't feel that way too? Do you think that I wouldn't end myself if you died? You always wonder what you bring to our relationship but never ask me. Do you want that answer before we go in?" Hiccup nodded. "This might sound weird to you but all I want from you, is you. My life was chaos before I met you, and then you brought your own chaos but after we ran away I learned a lot more about you than I ever imagined, and I felt things that I never thought possible. You changed the way I thought about the world around me. I opened my eyes and actually saw what I was looking at. And it happens that I enjoy looking at you. And because of that I was forced to listen to you and it turns out that I liked doing that too. Then when I thought it couldn't get better, I admitted to myself that I had fallen in love. Then you changed and for me, you became even more attractive and the first time we mated. I can't lose that Hiccup."

"Is all that true? You're not just trying to make me feel better?"

"Hiccup I have not and never will lie to you. Trust is very important to me. Your trust is even more so." Toothless pressed his face into his human's side. "Without your trust I'd be even less than if I let you die."

"Is that why you're always so cautious around me? So that you won't lose any of my trust?" Toothless looked away from Hiccup. He was ashamed that Hiccup had figured that out.

"Yes. I just don't want to push you too far and put you in a situation that you don't feel comfortable or even safe. I didn't know how you would act so not pushing you was easier. I didn't do it because I thought you'd trust me less. I didn't even think about that."

"I don't know what to say Toothless. Maybe I should thank you for thinking about me."

"I'm always thinking about you Hiccup. Well it's time to go. This is the last time that i'm going to ask you this. Are you sure that you want to go into the fog and face the queen?"

"Yes."
