Oh Hey HTTYD fandom! Remember me? No probably not! It's been a while, hasn't it? ^^ I was reading through my old oneshots of this and I felt bad, like i'd been neglecting it, which isn't fair since I still love HTTYD D: I've just been very preoccupied with other projects lately. What? Oh just Studio Ghibli films, Portal & Portal 2, annnnd my Harry Potter Series..

But. I'm back. I don't know how long for, but i'm back!

So I figured i'd drag myself back into the fandom with something simple, A prompt from Windsurf!

Prompt: Hiccup is figuring out some mathematical equations whilst he invents, and Toothless is curious.

Hiccup dragged his fingers through his messy red hair in a sort of agitated manner, wrinkling his nose slightly as he stared down at the parchment before him. A small exhale broke through his lips and he irritable crossed out an equation he had written with his pencil, feeling a bubble of annoyance rise up inside of him for what seemed like that seventh time that morning.

Hiccup's equations never made sense to anybody except Hiccup of course. None of the other villagers, (if Hiccup would even let them glimpse at his work, he was very secretive with his inventions) had any inkling as to what the strange numbers and letters meant. All they seemed to do was irritate the heir to the tribe beyond reason.

"No, no." Hiccup muttered as he hurriedly scribbled down what he had just written. "That wouldn't work at all...The span would be much too short..." Lost in his thoughts, Hiccup pulled another piece of parchment from under his current piece and made a quick change to the sketch he had been working on. His eyebrows furrowed in complete concentration as he considered how his newest contraption could possibly work. "I know it'll work," he tried to pacify himself. "I just need to figure out the right measurements."

From the corner of the forge within the room Hiccup was working, Toothless stared at his rider intently, feeling both amusement and irritation wash over him like a wave. The amusement he could understand, sometimes, watching Hiccup get so frustrated over a project was funny, especially when Hiccup would throw his hands up in the air in a form of exasperation before allowing his head to smack against the table. Those moments were funny, but the irritation, that was the emotion bothering him most at the moment.

'Why do I feel like this?' He pondered to himself, tilting his great head to the side slightly as he watched Hiccup curse under his breath before frantically scribbling something out on his parchment. 'It's not as if Hiccup hasn't gotten angry over a project before...' he paused for a moment, and moved forward lightly nudging Hiccup's hand with his head.

"Not now Toothless." Hiccup mumbled, unable to tear his eyes away from his parchment, and his hand clumsily patted Toothless on the snout before it moved back to shifting parchment around. Toothless growled slightly, narrowing his eyes at his rider. Oh he understand the irritation now all right. Hiccup hadn't even looked at him all day, he was too immersed in his newest project. He hadn't even told Toothless what it was, and he ALWAYS told Toothless what he was working on. Hiccup had barely spoken to him at all, and to top it all off, they had not even gone flying this morning! Enough was enough in Toothless's eyes. He wanted Hiccup's attention, and he was quite determined he would get it.

'Enough is enough'. The Nightfury thought in determination, glancing Over Hiccup's shoulder at the mess of words and scribbled his human was getting so worked over. 'You need a break, and to be honest, I want attention, so we're both going to get what we want!'

Toothless lightly nudged his head against Hiccup's one more time, trying to get Hiccup to willingly show him affection before he decided to put his devilish plan into action. He saw a twitch of a smile form on his human's face, but it quickly faded as Hiccup looked down at the parchment again, and he heaved a heavy sigh, dragging a hand down his face slowly.

"I'm never going to get this done..." he muttered, closing his forest green eyes in a tired manner, resting his elbows on the table before pressing his fists against his eyes, letting out a breath in a slow hiss. Toothless stared down at the parchment Hiccup had been painstakingly working on and felt a small growl rise in his throat. This was the cause of his riders negligence. Clearly this parchment, this whole project was just an interference, it could be of no use to the scrawny, already tired boy. His ears flattened against his head, and his neon eyes narrowed into slits, staring at the parchment as if it was his prey. He waved his hindquarters in the air slightly before baring his teeth and grasping onto the parchment with them, dragging the work Hiccup had struggled over right from underneath him. Hiccup's elbows slipped at the sudden jolt of movement and he was rocked forward with a cry of surprise, smacking his forehead onto the table with a loud groan of pain.

Hiccup cursed loudly, pressing his palms against his now red forehead with a slight grunt of pain, and turned to glare at Toothless who was now edging out of the forge the paper's in his mouth. His eyes narrowed and he scrambled up from his seat, almost stumbling as he did so.

"Toothless!" he cried, and the dragon stopped, looking up at him with wide, innocent green eyes. Of course Hiccup never bought his dragon's innocent act. In fact, whenever Toothless tried to look innocent, Hiccup was even more certain that Toothless had done something he shouldn't have. "Toothless, give me the papers!"

Hiccup stifled a groan as he saw the Nightfury's lips curve up into a mocking, dragonish smirk. He seemed to growl in an almost playful manner, and turned, bounding out of the forge and into the rare sunshine of Berk outside. Hiccup cursed and started after Toothless, only to trip and stumble over his stool in the process. He waved his arms in mid-air, trying to regain his balance, and then took off after Toothless, limping slightly on his prosthetic leg.

Toothless was hardly able to contain his glee as he bounded out of the forge and into fresh air. He glanced behind him to see Hiccup stumbling out of the forge behind him, squinting at the sudden sunlight, and he felt amusement wash over him once again.

'That's right hatchling,' he stated in a cheerful voice, using his old nickname for the boy. 'Time to get some sunlight!'

He turned, dropping the papers on the ground and stared at Hiccup as he approached, keeping the sly smirk on his face as he did so. Hiccup's eyes narrowed as he tried to stare Toothless down, but Toothless simply snorted at his attempt, moving forward to lie on the papers, stretching his legs out with a small yawn.

'You'll have to do better than that!' He thought smugly as Hiccup sighed, his shoulders slumping slightly. The red-head sat down beside him, and lightly ran his fingers over the scales on his neck, causing Toothless to let out a small hum of appreciation. 'Finally...'

Hiccup smiled at Toothless's obvious pleasure, and he glanced up at the sky, spotting some of the other dragon riders flying around, enjoying the good weather. He sighed, glancing at where his papers would be lying underneath Toothless's stomach, and then he glanced at the serene, peaceful expression on his face, and he chuckle to himself, though a small twinge of guilt hit him as he realized how he had been neglecting Toothless lately. He had become so wrapped up in his work, he had forgotten all else.

"Hey, bud," Hiccup stated suddenly, and Toothless looked at him, curiosity taking over his expression. Hiccup grinned slightly and looked up at the sky. "Wanna go for a ride?"

Toothless's sudden exuberant lick on the cheek gave Hiccup the exact answer he had expected, and he groaned, wiping his cheek rigorously, though he was laughing. "Gross!"

'That's your punishment' Toothless huffed, pulling himself up. 'Now let's fly!'

Hiccup grinned and pulled out his papers from where the dragon had been lying, and he rolled them up. He could use a break actually, he had been working way too hard. Maybe Astrid was up for a race? He knew Toothless would be, and the thought made him chuckle to himself as he made his way back to the forge with Toothless padding faithfully by his side.
