The argument was incredibly one-sided and lasted a good 3 hours, coming to an awkward silence when his father finally halted in his scolding as the moon hit its highest peak in the sky. Stoick had first been flabbergasted at the sight of his son, unharmed and sitting by the fire as if nothing had happened, but soon enough exploded into a fit of anger, red in the face and pacing the room. Hiccup hung his head in shame for the most part, staring at his shoes while Toothless buried in head in his hands, curling up in himself to protect his ears from the booming voice.
Stoick scolded Hiccup for being so irresponsible, leaving his work for the rest of them while he ran off and had a vacation, saying how disappointed in both of them and how that 'was not something a chief would do'. Hiccup could only nod is head weakly, praying that his father would just get it over with and scream at him, furious and confused to the display he had stumbled upon, but it never came. 3 hours of yelling and scolding and wild hand gestures and it never came. As the moon began to slowly make it's decent back into the ocean, it slowly dawned on Hiccup that his father had interpretative the scene as either purely platonic or just didn't take notice, for the man eventually settled down in his chair, exhausted and worn, having nothing else to say.
The man dropped his head in his hands and sighed in defeat, shoulders sagging "Oh son."
Lifting his head, Hiccup chewed his lip and glanced off towards Toothless, who just stared back shamefully, before picking himself off the floor "Dad i'm so sorry i just-"
Stoick waved a free hand towards his boy and slumped back in his chair "I get it son, i really do. Being Chief is stressful, and i'm been putting too much pressure on you."
Hiccup was surprised by this, and had no idea what to say, but his father quickly continued, his voice become stern once again "But that doesn't excuse what you did, if you wanted a break you should have come to me, not run off to Thor knows where with ya dragon. The whole village has been looking for you, I thought I would find you at a bottom of a cliff!"
"Oh..." Hiccup did not know how to react; his father really hadn't seen what he and Toothless was doing, his father hadn't don't anything other than scold him about disappearing, something Hiccup knew he would receive the moment he stepped back on Berk, and that was all. The brunet stepped towards his father uncertainly "I'm sorry dad...i didn't mean to leave, Toothless just sort of-"
Stoick leaned forward in his chair to glare at Toothless "Knew you had something to do with it dragon" he huffed in irritation, jabbing a meaty finger towards the beat
Toothless raised his head and snorted a small stream of smoke out of one nostril 'Watch yourself old man.'
Hiccup gave a quick wave of his hands towards Toothless, a stern look on his face that told the dragon to back down. Toothless obeyed and sulked back down by the fire, which was flickering weakly in the burnt ambers. Hiccup turned back to his father, rubbing the back of his head pitifully "I'm sorry, I promise me and Toothless will be up early and we'll fix everything."
Stoick eyed the boy, heavy brows set, but soon eased his expression and pushed off his armchair and staggered warily to his feet "Best be up before the sun hits the horizon, there's a lot you need to catch up on son."
The brunet gave a weak sigh, muttering a weak 'Great' under his breath, and Stoick ran his hand through his son's messy locks "Glad you're back son. Now if you excuse me, I've been running around all day dealing with all the messes you need to fix, so I'm off to bed. Goodnight."
With a weak smile, Hiccup gave his father a small wave of his hand as his bid him good night. For a few tense moments, Hiccup stood and listened, staring intensely at the door leading to his father's room and chewed anxiously on his bottom lip. Soon enough, however, a deep rumbling snore escape from behind his father's door, and despite feeling even more guilty for making his father so exhausted, Hiccup let out a breath he didn't know he was holding, and turned back to where Toothless stood the moment Stoick had left.
Toothless had felt his rider's anxiety and rubbed his forehead against his human's chest in a comforting gesture, and was concerned for his mate as Hiccup slumped against him. Hiccup turned to Toothless as the dragon echoed a low coo and Hiccup flashed the beast a sudden beaming smile and took his head with his hands "He didn't notice!" Hiccup spoke in a hushed tone, his expression delight.
Toothless' own expression matched his rider's, and loving knocked their heads together with a loud purr. Hiccup laughed softly and cuddled against the dragon's scales, but as the snorting grew louder behind him, Hiccup became aware that they may still not be safe, and led Toothless up to his room with a quick, excited bounce in his step.
Back in the safety of his room, door shut tight and windows closed and locked, Hiccup fell to his dragon and ravished him with kiss after kiss, and while surprised, the dragon simply scrunched up his face and let the little Viking peck him. With one final, wet kiss on Toothless' wiggling nose, Hiccup buried himself into Toothless' neck and beamed "It's okay! We're okay!"
Toothless gave out a low hum of approval and rubbed his cheek against his human happily, tail swishing back and forth, unable to control his gleeful joy. The two held each other for a moment more before Hiccup yawned loudly, drowsiness finally catching up with him. He rubbed his eye and offered Toothless a tired smile "I think we should go to bed now, since we have to be up early to fix everything huh?"
The dragon let out a small grunt and shook his head, also worn from the long flight home and turned, trotting over to his slab of rock and curled up onto it. He already missed their little island, but there was nothing like his bedrock. He settled his head between his paws and watched Hiccup silently as he undressed himself, the teen tugging on a fresh tunic over his head; it almost reached his knees, and in the odd warmth of the summer air he didn't bother putting on some pants, and made his way other to his bed.
Hiccup pulled back his blanket and was about to climb into bed if not for the loud whine from behind his shoulder. Hiccup turned his head and looked back at Toothless, a look very similar to a pout on his face as he stared at Hiccup. Hiccup straighten up and tilted his head sideways, a small smile appearing "What?" he laugh light at the dragon's expression.
The dragon jerked his head to the side and lifted up his wing, a soft purr growing stronger as Toothless turned back to Hiccup, his eyes hopeful. The Viking giggled softly and shook his head, but grabbed his blanket and dragged it with him as he moved towards the dragon. Hiccup crawled under his mate's wing, snuggling up between Toothless' front and back legs and pulled the blanket up to his shoulders.
Hiccup angled his head up and smiled "Okay."
Carefully, Toothless lowered his wing over his Viking, shifting so his head lay across Hiccup's lap and his tail curled around them both protectively. Toothless kept his eyes closed until Hiccup's breath slowed to a gentle rhythm. Certain his human was fast asleep, he reopened his eyes slowly and peered up at Hiccup, pupils as wide as ever as he smiled softly to himself.
The beast watched his mate until his eyes grew too heavy and vision became blurred, and with a final happy purr of happiness Toothless closed his eyes and the two new mates slept side by side peacefully.

…Damn, I'm feeling sad; this was my first major story and it's finished! What do I do with my life now that I don't have dragon smut to write ?
…Oh right, writing more smut. Lmao.
But seriously though: I really enjoyed this story, and a part of me feels like i'm leaving many questions unanswered, but i don't think i would be able to keep up and write a squeal for this, but i know i could make a series of oneshots based on this story based on your questions/suggestions. What do you guys think?
Welp, guess this is me, signing off for the last time for this fic. Big hugs and kisses to everyone that has followed this story to the end, you are all awesome!
