A/N: After reading plenty other HTTYD fanfics, I noticed that there's barely anyone who have a dragon!Toothless/dragon!Hiccup one, so I decided to do one myself =) Just note that this is the very first time I write a fanific, or a story at all!

Title: A New Life

Summary: Hiccup is sick. When the village isn't much of a help, Toothless decides to take the problem in his own hands...eh, paws.

Actual Summary: When Hiccup suddenly get sick, and the village are of no help, circumstances forces Toothless to deal with the problem his own way. And it ends up with something they both never would've guessed would happen! Hiccup becomes a Night Fury, and while he's adjusting to his new body, Toothless feelings for him only grows stronger. How will this affect their friendship? Will it strengthen it even more, or break it apart?

Hiccup sat on the cliff, staring out over the ocean. This was one of Hiccup's favorite spots. It was nice and quite here, a perfect place to relax and regain his strength. Even Astrid didn't know of it, and he needed time alone…along with Toothless of course. They would just sit there gazing at the view, both enjoying each others company. That was just what Hiccup needed to prepare for yet another day of hard work.

Being at the forge with Gobber all day was hard enough, but when you later have to teach brainless Vikings about dragons, you're pretty much crawling back to your house at the end of the day, and that's exactly what Hiccup would be doing, if it hadn't been for Toothless being there to support him.

Not mention his prosthetic leg, which made everything worse. It always itched and slowed him down. Oh, how he wished he still had his real leg; not this piece of junk. No offense to Gobber of course, his handiwork is just fine. But with every step he took, caused terrible pain in what was left of his leg.

But lately Hiccup wasn't fully recovering from earlier events. Every evening it felt like some of his life was sucked out of him, bit by bit.

Hiccup looked at the waves, seemingly lost in thought. Toothless moved a bit closer to him, nudging him in the side.

"Oh, hi buddy! I guess I got a little lost again huh?"

Toothless made a whimpering noise, and nuzzled Hiccup.

"Hey, don't worry about me. I'm fine, really!"

How wrong he was…

Now he was laying right before Toothless, his Hiccup, in his bed, barely breathing. Hiccup had gotten some unknown disease, and Toothless could smell the life slowly fading from him. The human healers had checked and rechecked him, but the results were always the same. Nothing! They had no idea what was wrong with him, and were even more confused on what to do about it. The only thing they said was that Hiccup probably wouldn't last the night, but his Hiccup always did.

He was strong, but even now Toothless started to think that Hiccup didn't have much more left to give. Every day his condition worsened, and Toothless could only sit there and watch the disease continue its effect. He felt helpless.

Downstairs he heard chattering, which after awhile grew to shouting. Stoic was obviously upset about something. When the shouting didn't stop, Toothless' anger started to build up.

"Why can't they keep their mouths shut" He growled. "All these noises aren't good for my human". Toothless looked at Hiccup, then back to the door. The shouting was still going on, getting louder.

Toothless grunted.

"This place won't help my Hiccup, I need to do something"

Toothless walked over to the side of the bed and took away the blanket that kept Hiccup warm. He looked down at him. The boy had a grimace on his face, like he was in real pain. Toothless whined softly, and licked Hiccup's face.

"Just try to hold on a little longer"he urged silently.

Then with some efforts, Toothless managed to get Hiccup onto his back. Making sure that the boy wouldn't fall off, he made his way to the window. He looked back at the door. Noises were still coming from downstairs.

"Staying here won't help my human, it will only lead to his death". A snort escaped Toothless before he leapt out of the window, disappearing into the darkness of the forest.

-{[S]}-

Toothless navigated through the forest with ease. The moonlight breaking through the branches made it look like it was still day to him. He kept a slow pace, making sure Hiccup would not fall off from his back. The warmth of Toothless' body would keep Hiccup from freezing, as long as they kept constant body contact. He had already figured out that the cove where Hiccup first had befriended him was not an ideal place to stay. One thing is that it's too near the village. People would surely go look for Hiccup after Stoic found out his son was missing, and sooner or later, they would find the place. Another thing was Astrid already knew of the cove. Toothless huffed by the thought of the blonde. "The last thing Hiccup need is more abuse from that girl…"

The number of punches had changed drastically after she saw how bad Hiccup really was, but growls and screeches from Toothless helped as well. He didn't like Astrid. He wouldn't even let her near Hiccup, which left her standing in the doorway each visit. Hiccup was his, and he needed to make that clear. She knew better than to ignore his warnings. A fight against a Night Fury was something even she couldn't win.

Toothless trotted for hours, looking for a suitable place to stay. After getting through some heavy vegetation, he eventually spotted a cave, only five meters away from where he stood. The forest had concealed it quite well, making it almost impossible to find. It was only luck that Toothless discovered it. He looked inside. The cave was about ten meters deep, and had more than enough room for the both of them. Toothless purred to himself, satisfied, and walked inside. He let the sleeping Hiccup slide off his back, carefully so his head didn't bump into the rocky ground. He looked down at his human with sad eyes. His condition hadn't gotten any better, but fortunately not any worse.

So, what now? He had accomplished taking him away from all the annoying noises, but hadn't thought any farther then that. He found himself a comfortable position in the cave, and started to look back in his memories.

Hiccup was like no other Viking he had ever seen. Where everyone else would have killed him out in the forest, Hiccup couldn't. Hiccup saw something in dragons that others didn't. He saw the intelligence in dragons, and he didn't treat them like they were mere animals, but rather as if they were of his own kin. As for Toothless, he was happy to accept that friendship. Toothless might have been a little skeptical at first, but after seeing that Hiccup was no ordinary Viking, every suspicion of him was brushed away like they were dry leaves in an autumn storm. After the event involving the dragon queen, their bond got even stronger. They never left each other, or rather, Toothless would never leave Hiccup. Hiccup didn't seem to mind. He took it as a sign that Toothless cared about him, which he did, maybe more than Hiccup realized.. "Hiccup likes me as a friend, but, I like to think of our friendship as something…more"

Suddenly, deep in Toothless' mind, a small bright light appeared. Toothless didn't exactly know what to do or what it was, but nevertheless crawled deeper into his mind, only following his instincts. As he looked deeper, the light got bigger, until the energy flowed everywhere in his body. It boiled inside him, and he felt like it needed to be released. He opened his mouth, and out came something that looked like glowing smoke. Toothless starred at it in wonder. The color of it constantly changed between dark blue and pitch black, and lit up the cave every time it turned blue. It seemed like it had a life of its own! It didn't seem to be effected by the wind, but rather went where it pleased. It was aiming for his human. Hiccup inhaled most of the glowing smoke, while the rest dissipated into nothingness. Toothless didn't know for sure what he had just done or if it would help his Hiccup, but it had left him tired, and his head pounded as if the queen dragon's tail had smashed into it again. So he drew his human closer, sharing his body warmth with him, and fell asleep.

A/N: Well, there you have it, chapter 1! Maybe a little short, I don't know..whatever. Hope you enjoyed it.
