Welcome. My name is The Night Kitty. I changed my name recently from Hamster Fan and I have written for HTTYD before. I started writing this story in first person, but I'm really not used to it. So a lot of this story will be in third person, but I will always say when it changes.
Let me get some warnings out of the way.
This story is rated M but it will probably not get too graphic or anything.
It contains: Toothcup, Astrid Bashing, mentions of abuse and eventual mpreg.
Some of those are my first time writing about but we'll see how it goes.
I try to update regularly so please be patient and enjoy the story.
Some are Born Different
Chapter 1
Toothless' POV
It has been three months since I became an Alpha, and two days since Hiccup's heart was broken. I was not there at the time, but I do know that my human did not anticipate it happening at all. I never really thought Astrid treated Hiccup well enough, but I did nothing about it because she made him happy. Now it took Hiccup literally begging for me to not go and rip that awful girl's head off.
Why did she do that to him? Hiccup had told me many times he wanted to one day marry her. I of course did not agree but I'm a dragon and could not tell him that in his language. Hiccup is still the Chief of Berk but since the one-sided break up Hiccup has not been up to the task. Luckily he now has his mother who has been doing a great job filling in for him. But the problem is, she does not know how to make him feel better. She had not been around humans for years and never knew what to say as support and to help him move on. My poor Hiccup has mostly stayed at home except for flying with me a few times. He completely shut himself from anyone except me. He will not tell me what happened but besides the break-up, I can tell she severely hurt his self-esteem and motivation. Stupid Astrid! I will never be nice to her again!
What Hiccup really needs is support from someone really close to him and I want that to be me; his best friend. There have been countless times I wished he could understand me other than with just body language, but now it's more important than ever. Right now all I can do is lay on the floor nearby while he sits in bed or try and get him to fly with me. I love Hiccup too much to not be able to do more for him.
I remember as a hatchling, my mother telling me a story about how two dragons can bond together with added benefits. I have never seen two dragons share that bond before, and Hiccup is human so I don't know if it would work. But at this point I am willing to try, but I hope it does or else Hiccup will not be too happy with me.
Hiccup's POV
As I lie awake on my bed I can hear Toothless whining softly on the floor beside me. Lately he wants to be so close to me, that he won't even lie on his bed on the other side of the room. Astrid hurt me so badly. I was sure she was the one for me but then to tear that away shocked me. Then if that wasn't enough, her reasons why felt like she was twisting the sword she has just stabbed me with.
I honestly feel like how I used to before I met Toothless. Useless and with no one who cared about me. I know that's wrong and if I could turn off this worthless feeling, I would in a heartbeat. Back then not even my dad loved me but when that changed he became a wonderful parent to me. I just lost him and now I lost Astrid too! Why do the gods hate me?!
But I can't keep feeling sorry for myself, it won't solve anything. I'm still extremely depressed but my dragon still needs me. I look over at Toothless and he looks back at me with big eyes. It's a good thing I still have him. I sigh and sit up to scratch him behind the ears which he loves instantly.
"Let's go for a flight Bud. I need some fresh air," I say to him.
My dragon loves my idea and races outside. It is an unusually warm day so I decide to just wear light clothing and not my flight suit. I don't feel like trying to glide myself anyway.
Normal POV
Hiccup and Toothless soared through the clouds enjoying their flight. After a few minutes, Toothless lowered them near the ocean and flips over to partially dunk Hiccup in the water. Hiccup laughs when they flip back around enjoying the feeling of the cool ocean.
"You always know how to make me feel better Toothless," Hiccup praised.
When they flew back closer to Berk, Toothless heard Hiccup inhale sharply in distress. Toothless looked up and saw Astrid and Stormfly fly past them but make no acknowledgment. Sensing Hiccup to be upset again, Toothless decided he was not going to wait any longer to try his experiment. With a hard flap of his wings, he picked up speed and headed for the forest. Hiccup said nothing and did not try and steer somewhere else.
The Night Fury landed in their cove and Hiccup silently dismounted. Toothless went over to the lake to get a drink before looking over at Hiccup. He was sitting in the grass drawing with a stick with a sad expression. Toothless sighed and went over to Hiccup.
Hiccup made eye contact with his dragon and saw that he had a very guilty look on his face.
"What's wrong Bud?" Hiccup asked.
What happened next was the very last thing Hiccup thought Toothless would ever do. In a flash, Toothless exposed his teeth and latched onto Hiccup on his shoulder and neck. Hiccup screamed as his dragon bit hard enough to draw blood. He tried to push Toothless off him but he held on for a few long seconds. When Toothless pulled away, Hiccup's blood could be seen on his teeth. Toothless quickly licked his lips and swallowed to get rid of the evidence.
Hiccup brought a hand to his shoulder and felt his new painful-bleeding bite mark. He was more shocked at what happened than scared. He wanted to know why Toothless would purposely hurt him.
"Toothless…why did you do that?" Hiccup said quietly.
Toothless cooed sadly before his eyes widened and his ears suddenly perked up. Then within a few seconds, Toothless' pupils rolled backwards and he closed his eyes collapsing on the ground.
"Toothless!" Hiccup yelled fearfully and ran to his dragon's side. He tried to nudge him awake and it did not work. Starting to panic, Hiccup checked him over and was relieved to see he was still breathing.
"What the Thor is going on?" Hiccup asked out loud but Toothless did not move.
