Toothless had always enjoyed flying and there wasn’t a dragon with wings who didn’t. It was a lifting experience both physically and spiritually and he use to spend days on end in the sky. However… he never realized how empty a feeling it was. There was no others of his kind to fly in a flock with and it was only after Hiccup stepped in that he realized that bothered him. He liked the company of another. Preferably one with intelligence, like his human. They had this connection in the air. Hiccup knew where he wanted to go and rarely fought to make him fly astray from his chosen path and it was fun. 

He skirted his wing across the water and then rose up once more- it was getting early, his human would need sleep and so they headed inland. Touching down near Hiccup’s home. Hiccup patted his snout and mumbled a few sluggish words that he was pretty sure meant goodnight before disappearing inside. After waiting a few moments to see if he would return for any reason he slinked towards the stable, wanting to put that dragoness in her place but froze when he heard singing his ear flaps flicking uncertainly. He narrowed his eyes in its direction sinking low to the ground before galloping away. 

He clawed his way onto the roof and dug at the tiles until Hiccup appeared at the wind shushing him. “Shhh. Shh. You’ll wake the chief.” Toothless snorted and jerked his head towards the stables but his human with inferior vision just squinted his eyes unable to make out the gesture and shook his head. “Go to sleep Toothless. Whatever it is… I’m sure it can wait until tomorrow…” He mumbled as he retreated back to his bed.

Frustrated with Hiccup’s inability to listen Toothless circled around and lay stiffly, glaring in the direction of the stable until eventually he dosed off himself. He still woke early come sunlight to wake Hiccup and the groggy boy set out with him to fish. The chilling wind enough to bring anyone back to awareness. Fingers numbed and cheeks reddened by the cold as he headed towards the barn with a woven barrel full of fish weighing down in his arms. 

Toothless nudged towards him again as he entered and he pulled away. “No Toothless, you already had your share.”
