So, maybe I picked an awful way to end the story, but in my opinion, it's good. I like it, anyways, and I hope you do, too. Anyways, shout-outs:
silverwolvesarecool: No, Valka wouldn't tie Hiccup to the bed. She's tie him to herself and then stay in his room until he recovered. :P
xFaerieValkyriex: Aaah, it's okay. I'm a bit random and awkward sometimes. Get a load of this: Yard sard! I'm looking at the computer laughing my head off for no apparent reason. I'm crazy.
Little Did You Know: AGH! JUST LISTEN FOR ONCE, HICCUP, YOU FOOL OF A HADDOCK!
AnimeAngel: I do a lot of random stuff Sparkglider has to save me from (Sparkglider is my Changewing). She saves me mostly from myself...
Edlover23: Yes, Toothless. Please understand.
midnightsky0612: He'd better. Hiccup needs him. :)
When he woke up again, he was back in his room. But that didn't make sense. He passed out at the cove. Unless...unless someone had found them.
Hiccup tried to sit up, although it drained his energy. He managed to prop himself up against the headboard and looked forward. Toothless was curled up on his stone slab, sleeping as if nothing had ever hap...
...wait...
...Toothless?
What was he doing here? Last thing Hiccup remembered was begging his dragon to come back, to forgive himself...had he done it?
"Toothless?" Hiccup asked. Toothless perked up almost instantly. His eyes shone with relief and fear. But there was a third thing: guilt. He moved over slowly, keeping himself low to the ground, almost crawling. What was he so afraid of? Was he afraid Hiccup was going to be mad at him?
"Toothless, buddy, I'm not mad," said Hiccup.
Toothless looked at him uncertainly as if really wondering whether or not he was being truly honest with him.
"Toothless, you're my best friend," said Hiccup. "You know nothing you do could make me say differently, don't you?"
Toothless looked about ready to run off again, but nodded instead. He knew Hiccup was serious.
"I promise," said Hiccup. "Have I ever broken a promise?"
Toothless shook his head.
"You have to realize that you will never not be my friend," said Hiccup. "We're part of each other, you and me." He gestured to himself, and then pointed to Toothless. "I don't think I could live without you."
Toothless felt the same way about Hiccup.
"Oh Toothless," Hiccup breathed, sitting forward and wrapping his arms around his dragon's neck. After a moment, he pulled back and put his hands on either side of the dragon's head. "Don't ever leave again, okay?" he said.
Toothless nodded, and then licked him. Hiccup recoiled, a smile on his face.
"That's...disgusting," said Hiccup. "Good to have you back, bud."
The more Toothless thought about it, the more he realized how great it was to be back.
Their bond was stronger than a sword. Of course, swords need sharpening, polishing, and sometimes repairing, should it shatter. It wears out over time, but then you fasten a new blade to it, and it's as good as new. It never truly wears out.
Hiccup and Toothless had a few rough ends to sharpen; a few scratches to buff out; but in the end they were still whole. Sometimes there would be a bend in their friendship, but then they fix it. Make up for it.
Their friendship would never truly wear out.
I had a dream, you were there. High above the clouds somewhere. Rain was falling from the sky, but it never touches you, you're way up high. No more worries, no more fears. You have made them disappear. Sadness tried to steal a show, but now it feels like many years ago. And I...I will be with you every step. 'Cause I...I've found a friend in you, and we'll always stay together. Come fly with me, into a fantasy. Where you can be whoever you want to be. Come fly...with...me! -Into a Fantasy
THE END
This is Berk. A bit trampled, busted and covered in ice, but it's home. It's our home. Those who attacked us are relentless and crazy. But those who stopped them, oh, even more so! We may be small in numbers, but we stand for something bigger than anything the world can put against us. We are the voice of peace, and bit by bit, we will change this world. You see, we have something they don't. Oh, sure, they have armies, and they have armadas... but we... we have... OUR DRAGONS!
