at home, baking away happily.
gets to the house and peeks in a window of the living room.
wasn't to be seen from there~ He was just humming away as he worked.
furrows his brow and peeks through the next window.
staring at the cupcakes in his oven as they cooked. He was too eager to waaaiiittttt.
frowns. It looked like him but he couldn't be too sure at this angle. And... what was he baking?
noticed the other peaking in and smirked. "Ye know ye can just come in, ja?"
quickly ducks under the window sill, turning bright red and trying to regain his composure.
laughs a bit as he went over and opened the window, leaning on it to look down at the other. "Ye can't sneak around me, kiddo."
yelps and hits his head on the ledge as he jumps in surprise.
laughs some more. "Come on, get inside. M'almost done some cupcakes."
rubs his head, annoyed. "Fine, it'll almost make up for you having a dangerous house."
rolls his eyes and closed the window. He was glad to have some company~
glares at him through the window before walking to the front door, brushing snow off himself.
went and even opened it for him. "What're ye doin' here?"
shrugs and looks away as he steps inside.
closed the door and heard the timer go off, going back to the kitchen to take his cupcakes out.
follows him, hovering and enjoying the smell of the sweets.
took the cupcakes out of the tins and put them off to cool. "Ye want some when they're ready?"
nods and started to clean up. "So."
raises an eyebrow. "So...?"
shrugs. "Ye normally come here for a reason.
blinks before rolling his eyes. "No reason."
raises his brow as he started icing cupcakes. "That's surprisin'."
"I was walking and got cold."
huffs and crosses his arms. "It's true."
shakes his head a little before putting the plate of finished cupcakes on the table. "Help yerself."
pauses before grabbing one. He didn't want to look too eager.
knew he was anyways. Iceland always loved his baked goods. Hell, all the Nordics did~
didn't love them! Or at least... didn't tell him that he did...
wasn't good at hiding his thoughts anyways... He eats the cupcake quickly.
chuckled quietly and joined him, eating a few himself.
...grabs a second one and starts nibbling at it.
smiles as he watched. "They good?"
shrugs. "They're okay..."
smirks, knowing full well that they were good. "Ye can bring some home if ye want."
"There's too many for you to eat on your own so I guess I could do you the favor of taking some..."
nods. "Nor'll like some too I bet."
frowns. "I wouldn't want to risk him getting food poisoning." He wanted the cupcakes all for himself.
rolls his eyes. "Uh huh. Okay then." He went to make some cookies soon after.
finishes off another cupcake.
hummed as he mixed the cookie dough with his hands. "Don't eat too many, kay? Ye'll get a stomach ache."
rolls his eyes. "I won't eat too many..."
nods as he kept an eye on him while he placed the cookies on a sheet for the oven.
huffs. "I can eat cupcakes on my own, you don't need to watch."
smirks as he washed his hands carefully before putting the cookies in the oven. "Ja ja."
hummed as he watched the cookies now. "If ye say so~"
rolls his eyes as he starts to eat another.
sighed a bit. "So, glad to be back?"
"I was never gone. It was you guys that were gone."
rolls his eyes. "If ye insist. I know I was here all the time."
shakes his head. "No, you weren't."
pouts. "I was. It was the chicks that came here."
"No, because you left me behind."
sighs. "Ice, I'd not leave ye behind."
frowns. "Sure..." He finishes his cupcake.
pulled the cookies out once they were done. "Really. Ye know how much I wanna keep our family together."
"Then why did everyone leave me?"
sighs. "We didn't, Ice... we couldn't find ye."
rolls his eyes. "Sure..."
sticks his tongue out as he put the plate of cookies near him. "Trust me."
takes a cookie. "Then what happened?"
shrugs. "I don't know. Must have got lost in translation."
frowns. "How does your disappearing mean something got lost in translation?"
shrugs. "I don't know how it all went down, Ice. But we looked for ye."
"I've been at home. I'm not that hard to find."
sighed and just ate cookies quietly.
sighs. "What is going on? A bunch of weird stuff keeps happening now that I've found everyone...'
raises his brow. "Like what?"
"There was a girl who acts like you... I keep finding pink things in my house... There's a girl that was stalking me..."
chuckles. "Was her name Dorthe?"
frowns. So he was in on this. "Yes...?"
..sighs. "I don't know what you are talking about."
sighed and got some milk for himself. "All the nations we know, have doubles. But they're the opposite gender. So there's a female Denmark walkin' around, though she's not as cool as me." He smirked a bit.
nods. "There's even a female Iceland. But she's not been around lately..."
frowns. "Did you hit your head on something...?"
shakes his head. "I'm serious. There's even a female Nor."
stops. "Does... does she have the curl like he does?"
..."I think she's been stalking me..."
chuckles a little. "I wouldn't be surprised... She misses her Ice."
"So... who are these women...?"
shrugs. "They're just like us. Just females. They have land like ours that they look over, but they've been put here. We're still in full charge, but it's nice to humour the others."
..."Are you so sure they were put her and not we were put on their land, then? It would explain why you guys disappeared..."
nods. "Ja. When Dorthe came to my place, all the photos were of ye and Nor and them. Not of her family."
sighs. "Whatever, this is all confusing and those women are all weird."
chuckles a little and leaned back. "Ja, they are. S'why we gotta keep together."
raises an eyebrow. "So... you know them well?"
nods. "I've gotten to know 'em all pretty well. Dorthe visits now and then, Thora and I were close, Gjertrud... she's gettin' there."
"Which one is the one who stalked me?"
shrugs. "If it's Nor, then Gjertrud."
huffs. "She's really creepy..."
nods. "They really look like us, so it's hard to mistake 'em. Except... Astrid."
sighed and frowned. "Female Sweden."
sighs. "Don't tell me you fight with her, too."
hums and smirks. ".. Not quite."
facepalms. "Ugh, don't even say anymore..."
laughed at that and licked some cookie crumbs at him.
flails before composing himself and rolling his eyes. "Such a child..."
smirks. "One of us has to be. Or else the whole family would be one big bore."
rolls his eyes. "That's not true."
nods. "Mhmm. Who else in this family would have fun? Ye tell me."
rolls his eyes. "Liiike what?"
"Fun that doesn't involve you."
smirks. "I am the fun of the Nordics."
...hides a laugh behind his hand.
smiles. "See? It's true."
shakes his head. "I laughed at you, not with you."
stuck his tongue out. "Still. I at least bring joy to everyone."
rolls his eyes. "Sure you do."
nods and crossed his arms. "I do. I know I do."
sighs dramatically. "Keep telling yourself that."
smirks. "Ye ate quite afew of my sweets, didn't ye?"
smirks. "Uh huh. And ye plan to take some home, ja? I know ye all like 'em."
looks away from him, turning red. "You just made too much food."
smirked and looked away, knowing full well the other enjoyed them. "I guess I do."
rolls his eyes, knowing the other didn't believe him.
yawned a bit. "Ye should meet some of the female Nordics. They're kinda fun."
"They don't seem like it..."
nods. "They are. Each have their own personalities and stuff."
sighs. "Everyone has their own personality."
sighs. "Jaaaa, but still. Talk to 'em. They're nice."
huffs. "I met Dorthe and Gjertrud is creepy..."
smiles. "Dorthe's chills. And ye'd like Gjertrud. She hates me."
didn't really hate Soren... If anything, hearing that made him want to get to know her less. "Mmm."
sighs happily. "Now that ye're back, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a mini-welcomin' home party...."
doesn't like parties... "No, you don't have to."
smiles. "It'll just be ye, Nor and I. And a dinner. Just kind of like we're all back together now."
..."Hmph, well if it's only the three of us..."
nods. "Don't worry, I won't overburden ye."
tilts his head. "What do you mean, 'overburden?'"
smiles "Well, I'd not wanna bring the female nations."
scoffs. "I can handle being around women. In fact, I'm great with women, probably better than you..." He looks away, turning red.
chuckles as he crossed his arms. "Uh huh. Tell that to Astrid."
sputters. "I don't want to hear about your love life!"
just smiled widely at him~
rolls his eyes. "I'm not gonna go into details. No one needs to know."
huffs. "Good, because I don't want to know."
hums. "So why do ye think ye're so well with women?"
twitches. "It doesn't matter how!"
smirks. "I wanna know though~"
rolls his eyes. "Just.. the usual way."
nods. "Mhmm. And that is?"
puffs up. "I'm not going to talk about my love life with you!"
rolls his eyes. "Ye probably just saw a chick. That's all ye get."
glares at him. "That's not true! I... I got to second base with a girl just yesterday!" Well... kind of...
raises his brow. "Oh? Who?"
sputters. "I'm not going to tell you that!"
rolls his eyes. "Does Nor know?"
shakes his head. "Why should I tell him?"
shrugs. "He'd like to know."
rolls his eyes. "Why...?"
shrugged again. "It's Nor. He worries 'bout ye a lot."
sighs. "He shouldn't and he doesn't need to worry about my love life."
shrugs. "I gueessss. Still. It's Nor."
huffs. "It's none of his business."
smirks. "He'll find out, ye know."
nods as he pulled out his cell phone
's eyes widen and he dives for the phone. 'N-no!! You can't tell him!"
Held it up above him. "Make me~"
growls and jumps for the phone. "Stop!"
laughs as they fell over. "Ye're so fun to tease."
turns bright red. "Y-You're so annoying!!"
put his phone away and shrugged. "Ye're just so fun. Now mind gettin' off?"
...quickly moves away from him.
smirked and sat up. "Ye're silly."
glares at him and stands up, going over to the sweets.
chuckles and took his time getting up. He was glad he at least ate.
packs up some sweets and keeps sending glares in his direction.
just smiled. "Ye want me to make anythin' else?"
hums. "Ye suuuure~? I could make pie. Or cake."
...grumbles. As much as he wanted to get away and stop talking about such embarrassing things, more sweets did sound good..."
smirked and went to make some cake for the other.
sighs. "You make too much food.."
shrugs. "I've never really perfected makin' small meals for just myself..."
rolls his eyes. "How hard can it be?"
sighs as he started mixing the ingredients. "Harder than ye'd know."
assumes that's a dig at his cooking skills. He sputters and tries to act cool. "I cook for just myself all the ti-time...." And now he sounded like a loner... Great.
smirks a bit. "At least ye must be an expert at that then."
starts to head for the door, grumbling to himself.
shakes his head. "Don't be like that. Ye got cake still."
turns to glare at him but stays where he is.
smiles. "Ye don't wanna waste this."
pauses before giving him a thumbs down and walking back into the kitchen.
just smiled widely as he put the cake in the oven.
glares at him as he sits at the table.
leaned against the counter as he watched the cake. "I kinda miss doin' this much..."
"I thought you just said you always make this much."
nods. "Ja, but I miss it where other people will enjoy it."
looks away. "I didn't say I was enjoying it..."
rolls his eyes and went to take the cake out once it was done.
watches him as he nibbles a cookie.
iced the cake happily and packed it up for him. "Want help bringin' these things home?"
"I'm not a kid, I can carry things on my own."
nods. "Ja, but these are delicate. I should help ye." He went to go get his boots and coat on.
carries some of it, leaving some for him to carry. "I didn't ask for help..."
shrugs. "I need to go out for a walk anyways. I wanted to stop by at Nor's, too."
twitches. "So you're not just going with me to help?"
smirks. "That was my original idea. But if I'm goin' out, I may as well drop by."
glares at the ground before starting to go another direction.
raises his brow. "What? I wanna help ye."
keeps walking. "I'll wait at my house."
rolls his eyes and follows him.
huffs. "I'm not going to stop you from visiting him if you want to so badly..."
chuckles. "Hey, I've seen him more recently than ye. I'd rather spend time with ye now."
pouts as he walks. "Not that I want to spend time with you...." He missed seeing the other around...
walked by his side, holding the cake carefully. "I know. Ye hate me, I get it~"
twitches. "How can you be so cheerful about that?"
shrugs. "Just 'cause ye hate me, doesn't mean I hate ye." He couldn't help but smile at the other.
stares at him before moving to kick him.
dodged it just barely and laughed quietly.
huffs and sticks his tongue out at him.
went to bite it playfully~
turns as red as possible and jumps away. "W-w-what are you doing?!?"
smirks. "Just playin' with ye~"
glares at him. "G-gross..."
just licked his lips as he kept walking.
rolls his eyes, still bright red with embarrassment.
wouldn't be that mean to him normally.
didn't see how that was reason to be mean!! Even though he was doing the same...
would be nice from now ooonnn~
expected as much from him.
gets to his house and opens the door for them.
slipped in and didn't bother taking his boots off as he headed to the kitchen.
notices. "H-hey! Take your shoes off!"
rolls his eyes. "It's just some water and dirt. It'll dry up. Besides, cake~" He put it down on the others table carefully.
"You're not the one who has to clean it..." She sets the sweets she was carrying on the counter.
(( and I still didn't get it right.... *HE ))
((It's okay. I've done much worse replyin' with Den as Ned and so on.))
shrugged. "It's a simple clean up."
(( I misfired Trudie and Ari the other day XD I make mistakes a lot, too but just that one, of all the mistakes to make...))
grumbles. "Now get out of my house."
((Seriously. I don't even read plurks 'cause I know what's goin' on, so I don't even catch it until someone replies all 'uuhhhh'. ))
raises his brow. "Ye really want me out?"
hesitates before nodding.
rolled his eyes and started towards the door. "Fiiiine. I'll let ye have yer space."
didn't think he'd actually leave... He fidgets as he watches him go.
decided to listen to him for once. He thought the other actually did want him out.
"Ah...Where are you going...?"
hums. "Ye said ye wanted me out, so." He shrugged a bit as he leaned against the door.
rolls his eyes. "I've told you that before and you never leave when I tell you to..."
smiles. "It's been a while, so I thought I'd take ye seriously for once."
just laughed and took his boots off before going to check the fridge.
rolls his eyes. "So just like that you're going to stay?"
nods. "I always like stayin' with ye."
him a thumbs down. "Idiot..."
stuck out his tongue again as he went to raid his fridge.
sighs but follows him. "I don't have any beer."
pouts. "Why not? Ye should."
shrugs. "To keep you away."
smirks. "I'll just bring some next time."
rolls his eyes. "You don't have to always drink beer."
shrugs. "It's apart of me, I can't help it anymore."
sighs. "You could at least try..."
shakes his head. "Nah, it's too fun. Ye should try it some time~"
frowns. "No way. I don't want to turn into you."
rolls his eyes. "Come on, Ice. M'not that bad~ Everyone loves me~"
just stares at him. "Okay."
just smiled as he went to look for some kind of sweets to eat.
twitches. "Don't go just looking through my stuff!" Now that his licorice was at stake he would stand up against him.
chuckles. "Relax, Ari. M'not gonna judge or steal anythin' from ye."
huffs faintly. "You're raiding my pantry."
nods. "Ja. And yer point is?"
flails. "So you're stealing my food!!"
rolls his eyes. "I'm a guest."
