Toothless pov

Oh god. What's Hiccup going to say? How's he going to react to this? The thought of Hiccup being grossed out by me goes through my mind again. I'm scared. This cou- my thoughts get cut off when Hiccup starts to speak.

"Toothless, you aren't a dragon anymore, you can't lick me. I know that's how dragons show affection for their owners so your used to it but that's not normal for a human so you just can't anymore. Ok, buddy?" Hiccup says as he tries to squirm out of my arms.

Those words hit me like a sack of bricks. I let go of Hiccup and let my arms fall to my sides. I quietly chuckle to myself. Of course. Of course he wouldn't think anything of it! I'm so stupid. He still thinks of me as a dragon. Of course he would! Why would he think any differently? He isn't conscious of me. He doesn't feel anything when I touch him. Why would he? I clenched my fist as I watch Hiccup walk away from me.

"I'm going to go to the store to get some supplies, ok?" Hiccup says as he walks towards the door. It kinda pissed me off that he could just write off what just happens as nothing. I lose it a little and push Hiccup onto the wall, putting my arms on each side of him.

"Toothless?" Hiccup says, his eyes wide in surprise. I want to tell him what I'm thinking. I want to tell him that humans do lick other humans to show a different kind of affection. I want to tell him that I love him, that I need him. I wanted to tell him everything. I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out. What am I doing? Why am I angry? It's not Hiccup fault. Of course this is how he thinks.

It's my fault for thinking these things in the first place. It's my fault for being abnormal. It's my fault for being in love with him. I should be happy that he thinks this way. It's a good thing. It gives me an excuse. It means I can hide my feelings for him. It means he won't find out right now. Just a minute ago I was worried he would think I'm gross but he doesn't because he doesn't know about how I feel. This is a good thing. I should be happy. I should be happy but I'm not! A lump grows in my throat as my anger turns to sadness. My throat burns and I feel like crying. I look at Hiccup in front of me. He looks completely confused. I have to get out of here before I do something stupid, something I'd regret.

"I-I'm going for a walk," I say as I remove my hands from the wall.

"O-ok...," Hiccup says, still stunned and wide-eyed at my strange and sudden act of pushing him against the wall and then not saying anything at all. I just turn and walk out of the house.

Hiccup pov

Yeah, that's why Toothless licked me. He just doesn't know that it's not normal for humans to lick each other. That's the only plausible explanation, right? Then why do I feel so strange? It's the same Toothless I've known for years, just in a different form. Why does everything feel so different now? I'm so conscience of him and what he's doing now. Whatever, I didn't want to think about it right now.

"Toothless, you aren't a dragon anymore, you can't lick me. I know that's how dragons show affection for their owners so your used to it but that's not normal for a human so you just can't anymore. Ok, buddy?" I say as I wiggle out of Toothless arms. Thankfully he voluntarily lets me go and I can start to calm down. I need to get out of here. I need an excuse to leave. Hmm...oh! I can say I need to go get supplies. I tell Toothless and start to walk towards the door. I didn't get an acknowledgement from Toothless but I assumed it was fine because why wouldn't it be? I'm relieved that I can go clear my head outside until I get pushed into the wall by Toothless. I stare up into his clear green eyes. Oh god, Toothless this is not helping my issue! He looks down at me and starts to say something but stops. He waits for a moment then suddenly says he is going for a walk. He just removes his hands from the wall and leaves.

"What the heck Toothless!" I say while looking at the closed door. My knees give out and I slowly slide down the wall, griping my chest. My heart felt like it was going to explode and my face was on fire! There is seriously something wrong with me. I burry my face in my hands.

Toothless has been acting weird ever since he turned into a human. Is he ok? My thoughts cloud with worry. Why is he acting so weird? Is there something on his mind? Did something happen? But what could possibly happen to make him act like this? Well, he did kinda turn into a different SPECIES.

Maybe he doesn't like being a human or wishes he could be a dragon again. He could be scared. I remove my face from my hands and look at the door. I hope he's ok. I start to worry more. He isn't accustomed to being a human. I bet his coordination isn't the best and I don't know how well he will be able to handle the situations he might get into being out there alone.

What am I doing? I shouldn't have let him go. I'm being a bad owner. Wait a minute. Owner? I can't be his owner anymore because he's human. But he is a dragon on the inside...but he's human. I guess I shouldn't consider myself as his owner anymore. My chest tightened at the thought. I didn't like not being his owner. It's not that I wanted to have power over him or consider myself better than him because I'm his owner but, to me, the title was like a link, or a bond, between Toothless and I.

A link that I guess we won't have anymore. Does he still consider me his owner? I'll have to ask him later. A lump grew in my throat as a thought of his answer. If he were to say no and say that he had no obligation to be around me anymore then I would be crushed. Hiccup, it's ok. He's not going to say that.

Besides, there's no point in thinking about it. I'll think about it when I'm actually asking him. Should I go look for him? No, he'll be fine. He has been alive for awhile now and he knows how things work and if he is going for a walk then he might be thinking some things through and I don't want to invade on his thought time. Besides, I have plenty to do here.

Our house was a mess and it needed some serious attention. I sighed as I looked at the mess that our house was in. At least it will keep my mind off things.

Hey, guys! I have a question for you. In this fanfic, I've been changing pov's a lot. I wanted to do this to show you guys what the two main characters are thinking at the same time. Is it becoming boring for you? Should I not show you the same situation through the different characters pov? I've used some of the same lines that a character said in the two different pov's so that's why I think I might be boring y'all. Any feedback helps. Thanks for reading!
