The breeze rustled the leaves on the trees as the morning sun warmed the island of Berke. In a small clearing sits two teenagers on a log. They sit there looking at each other with small smiles. Hiccup moves his hand closer to Astrid's. He leans back so that they are leaning on each other slightly.

Hiccup, trying to sound smooth, "Astrid, you look" "YAWNNNNN!"

The two teenagers whip around to see toothless sitting next to them his mouth open in a huge yawn. He looks at them curiously. Astrid and Hiccup let out a defeated sigh as Toothless had completely ruined the mood

Hiccup stands up and holds out a hand to help Astrid up which she accepts "Come on Hiccup, let's go back to the village" Hiccup sighs at the lost opportunity but follows Astrid regardless with toothless walking behind them.

It's just after lunch and Astrid and Hiccup are sitting across from each other, their meals forgotten on the table between them.

As Astrid and Hiccup gaze deeply into each other's eyes, they drift closer to each other. Hiccup prepares himself for the first kiss with Astrid that he initiated. Their lips are inches away. They close their eyes. Hiccups lips make contact with… scales?

Astrid and Hiccups eye shoot open as the both fall back wards. Sitting between them is toothless with a confused look. It dawns on them that they had both just kissed toothless on the cheek when he had stuck his head between them.

Both of the teenagers furiously wipe their mouths as they glare at the dragon curiously looking back and forth at them. Toothless then quickly grabs the left over food off their plates, scoffs it down and smiles his toothless smile at them.

Despite wanting to be angry with him, his cute smile makes it extremely difficult.

Astrid leans against the tree as Hiccup places a hand on the tree above her shoulder and leans over her 'This is it' he thought, 'the first time I actually kiss Astrid and not the other way around.'

There is a loud rustling above them in the tree and Toothless head drops down between them. Astrid's eye twitches as she looks up to see Toothless hanging from the tree branch above them.

Toothless seems to be oblivious to their glares as he chirps happily

"You stupid, useless reptile" Hiccup utters, he sighs, 'Come on Astrid, it's getting late, I'll walk you home"

The two teenagers stalk off back to the village muttering about nosey dragons that can't respect privacy.

Toothless watches them go as an evil smirk appears on his face, Hiccups father Stoick the Vast emerges from behind some trees

"Were those two misbehaving?" he asks the night fury

The Night Fury nods

"I trust you were putting a stop to it?" he asks

Toothless nods again

Stoick raises his fist, which Toothless bumps with his own

G'day

I was browsing DeviantArt when I cam across this comic strip and felt I had to write a story about it.

I would like to point out that this story is based off a comic strip; "Threes a Crowd" by Regent Shaw and that I recommend you look it up

Discalimer: the characters Astrid, Hiccup Stoick and Toothless do not belong to me regardless of how much I want my own Night Fury,
