Until I found You [Toothless x Lightfury]

[6] Returning the Favor

[LUNA's POV]

5 days until the Royal Parade.

The Nightfury still hasn't returned to me.
...Well, there's not much reason for him to come to ME, but he hasn't been seen anywhere around The Hidden World. I've even been asking but I've been given nasty looks and called an idiot for thinking one still existed. I stayed laid on my little rock until I hear someone land next to me. I turn to my right and see my sister as she sits down.

Quella: "So this is where my failure of a sisters been?"
Luna: "I'm not in the mood for this."
She smirks.
Quella: "When have you ever been?"
She lays down and surprisingly stays silent for a few seconds before speaking again.
Quella: "...You found a Nightfury, didn't you?"
Luna: "W-what? No of course not! They're all extinct anyways!"
Quella: "Righttt, and that's why you were asking people around the kingdom if they had seen one?"
I was shocked. I didn't think she'd pay any attention to what I was doing.
Quella: "Listen, I don't really care if you found one or if you daydream about dating the Nightfury, but I want you to tell me now you'll back off the crown if anything happens and you'll let me take my rightful place as queen."
Luna: "...What do you mean by that?"
What DID she mean by that?
Quella: "If you don't tell me right now, I'll get you put under house arrest until the parade."
I need to be able to fly out tonight to look for Toothless, and knowing I'd never be put as the queen, I agreed.
Luna: "Okay fine! I agree."
Quella: "Music to my ears!"
She winks at me then flies away.
Spoiled brat...

...

It had finally turned dark, and now was my chance. I flew out of The Hidden World. As scared I was, as excited I was, I was focused on one goal and one goal only: Getting that stupid Nightfury to safety. I flew to where we were last time but couldn't find him anywhere. Luckily, there were still a scent there I could track. I followed the scent until I found a forest with a open plain in the middle and caves surrounding it.

...Is that Toothless?!

———————————

[TOOTHLESS's POV]

It was time for my second fight. I was told I had to win 4 fights in a row to get my freedom. This time, I was being put up against a Skrill. I was afraid, but I couldn't afford to show it.
How am I going to survive without killing this dragon?
Both cages were unlocked just as last time, and we circled each other. I didn't bother to speak, as I knew I couldn't reason with a skrill. I watched it carefully.

The Skrill finally makes a move as he flies upward and channels the lightening from the clouds above, firing lightening at me. To be honest, I was completely caught off guard. I hadn't fought against a Skrill before, I just knew they were strong. Not expecting the lightening, I get directly struck by it. I roar loudly in pain and immediately collapse as the Skrill stands in front of me with a cruel smile.
...No, it can't.. it can't end like this, get up, get up...
I tried to get up but I was just pushed down again by the Skrill. All I could do was look up at the Skrill who was charging another attack.
...
Then, I see her.
Luna: "NO!"
Luna dives into the Skrill, knocking him far away from me as she rushes to my side and tries to support me and help me get up.
Toothless: "P-princess, go.."
Luna: "I'm not leaving you! Not this time!"
I saw the determined look in her eyes and knew I couldn't convince her.
Toothless: "...Okay, then we need to go."
The Skrill started to get up, but I was able to shoot a plasma blast which knocked it back down. With the spectators still trying to get ready to get us both caged, we had the opportunity to fly out and we did. Due to my injury, we couldn't fly for long, so we stopped at a hidden cave. I laid down on my back. I had a bad pain all over my body and growled quietly.

Luna: "I'm sorry Toothless!"
Luna suddenly hugged me after running towards me while I just laid there.
Luna: "You shouldn't have been brought into all of this, I should've gotten back to you faster, I'm sorry for-"
I warp my wings around her and kiss her. I was just waiting for an excuse to get a second kiss with her. We were both blushing but took our time with the kiss before parting apart, still holding her in my wings.
Toothless: "It's okay Luna, I just need to rest, okay?"
I smiled seeing how red her face was.
Luna: "O-okay, Toothless..."
I moved my wings off her, but she stayed by my side so I moved them back as we both closed our eyes and I fell asleep.

[LUNA's POV]

Toothless fell asleep with his wings still around me. I was still blushing from that kiss.
This is the dragon I want to be with for the rest of my life, I know it for certain now.
He was everything I ever wanted. He was kind, caring, and handsome.

The favor has been repaid, hasn't it, you big stupid Nightfury?

I smile at the sleeping Nightfury, and cuddle close to him as I drift away to sleep.
