Hej

This is a collection of short stories about Nordics. Hurray! I have been out from Hetalia fandom for while but then I got a review to another story after long, long time (thanks btw, if you see this. I'll come back to that later on!) and I thought: "oh well, I have got lot of ideas lately so why not."

Every chapter is a full, single story. Most of them are (or will be) happy, silly, a bit cliche and funny stories but there might be few sad ones somewhere here too. Nothing too serious though, I like happy endings. If there are pairings, they are mainly DenNor or SuFin. There is absolutely no chronological order so you can skip the chapters you don't like. Some stories are from modern times, some are not. There might be some AUs too but I don't write those so often. Be prepaired for lot of historical and culture things because I love those very much. Sometimes I might also throw in some Finnish or Swedish, just for fun. However, I'll wrote short warnings at the beging of each chapters so you know what is going on. (this sounds so serious now, sorry!) And if you have any comments/ ideas/ suggestions feel free to contact me or review! You get new chapters faster by reviewing (works also in another way: if you don't like, don't say anything and it will all die out soon)

I like to use "pet names" for the nations. These are the one I'm using here:
Sweden: Sverige, Sve, Svea, Ruotsi, Sví.
Norway: Norge, Nor, Nore, Norja
Denmark: Danmark, Dan, Tanska
Iceland: Is, Isey
Finland: Fin, Finny

This chapter is about the time when Norway was under the Danish rule (so around 1400). Includes very slight DenNor.


Denmark didn't really think that it was a problem. Even after years he still thought that there was nothing wrong with the things he was doing. After all, he had only found some people who shared same love and same ideas than he did. In his point of view there was nothing wrong with that. Sadly, Norway didn't agree. Not because he thought doing those things were wrong. Oh no. He had nothing against of that. Actually he felt that his people were doing exactly right thing. But he still thought that it was completely weird that Denmark, out of all nations in the world, had get involved.

"Where the hell have you been?" Norway's sharp voice startled the Dane who had been taking a nap under the tree. He smiled at the Norwegian who was standing over him, but Norway didn't seem to be too happy.

"Hej Nor!" Denmark said happily, "long time no seen."

"Seven months", Norway told him with a stern voice, "for seven months I have been searching for you. You better have an extraordinary good explanation."

"You were worried?" Denmark asked and seemed to be weirdly happy about that revelation, "oh Nor, you should know that I'll always come back to you!"

"Explain, Dan", Norway repeat his order, "quick."

"Well, you know", the Dane said, "I was going to meet you seven months ago but you were not at home! So I thought I'll go to take a look around because you never let me wander off. Don't look at me like that, Nor, I'm curious about your land!"

"This is exactly why I don't let you go freely inside of my borders", the Norwegian said, "I already have enough problems and you getting lost for seven months doesn't really help."

"Sorry Nor", Denmark said, sounding apologizing for the first time now, "I was coming back soon but then I met some people. They asked me a lot of questions and I guess I gave the right answers because they let me join their group."

"Group?"

"Jep, I think you have heard about them", the Dane told him, "it's a very secret group. Apparently I walked right in to their meeting so they just had to take me in or kill me off. I'm very happy that they let me in. I don't like to be killed."

"What they asked you?" Norway asked, sounding suspicious.

"They started with the normal stuff", Denmark said, "you know, 'how the hell did you get in here' and 'who you think you are'. You always ask those things too so I know it's a very normal Norwegian way of greeting close friends and loved ones."

"Aha."

"So after that they started to ask different questions", Denmark continued without noting how the Norwegian sighed quietly and shook his head a bit like he couldn't believe the Dane, "like, what I think about Norway and so on."

"What did you answer?"

"I love you, Nor, and I'm an honest man", Denmark said with a grin, "they had so many questions but finally they told me that if I want to join them I should prove myself."

"That meant?"

"I had to do something to show them that I care and love you", the Dane said, "that was fun! Also very easy. I needed to get a letter from the office. Steal it, they said, because they needed to have a royal letter."

"So you did steal a letter?"

"I didn't really need to", the Dane said, "I just walked in and they handed it to me. I was surprised about that but they said that of course I can have the letter because I'm a noble and nobles can ask to have copies of those letters. I had no idea I have a title. Did you know about that?"

"Ja, I knew", Norway said, "I was there when the king granted the title for you, and for me too, but apparently I was only one listening."

"Ah, okay", the Dane said, not caring much, "well, after I proved myself I got inside of the group and since then I have been doing some cool missions and stuff like that." Norway was quiet for a while after the Dane finished his explanation. Then he sighed quietly and sat down next to another nation, resting his back against of the tree.

"Care to tell me exactly what kind of group you are in now?" he asked.

"I don't remember their name but it's a group that aims to free Norway", the Dane said happily, "they all love you, Nor! I haven't seen such a passion often."

"Okay", Norway said, "and from whom they are aiming to free me?"

"From the evil Danes, of course."

"And you are?"

"Are you okay, Nor?" Denmark suddenly asked and looked at him worrying, "you don't remember me?"

"Of course I remember you, idiot, you are very hard person to forget about", Norway said, "just answer."

"Aw, thanks Nor", the Dane said, quickly calming down again, "I'm a Dane."

"And?"

"You are asking weird questions today", Denmark noted, "I'm Denmark! So I guess it means I'm kind of over-Dane. Is there such a thing as an over-Dane? It sounds nice and like a person who can easily beat up Sweden. Like me."

"Focus, Dan", Norway muttered, "don't you see anything weird about this?"

"Nope"

"Really?"

"Nope", Denmark said, "should I?" For a moment Norway just stared at him, ice-blued eyes without emotions. Norway never showed his thoughts on his face but Denmark was sure he was wondering, maybe amused too. He smiled at him, happily because he loved the Norwegian.

"I guess no", Norway finally mumbled and turned his gaze away, "I hope you are ready to return home because there is a lot of work to do and I'm not going to do that all."

"Do we really have to?" Denmark asked with a pleading voice, "can't Iceland take care of it?"

"Dan, I'll not let you make Iceland your slave", Norway said.

"Isn't that the point of having…?"

"Dan!"

"Sorry, Nor", Denmark said and laughed, "I was joking."

"Almost thousand years and your jokes are still horrible", Norway muttered, "good for you that your sense of humour is not the reason I'm staying with you."

"Hmm, I love you too."

"I didn't say that."

"You don't need to." For a moment they just laid there in middle of the forest. The weather was great and the sun warmed the skin where the shadow from the tree didn't reach. It was so quiet too and the both nations felt calm.

"We should go now", Norway finally said. Denmark nodded and happily followed him, only asking one last question while they walked back to the city.

"Did you really miss me?" he asked. Norway didn't answer but Denmark was sure he saw a small smile on man's lips. Later he excitingly told Iceland that Norway had been miserably sad and worried while he was away. Iceland, who only remembered the Norwegian being annoyed and angrily mumbling things all the time while trying to find the lost Dane, shrugged his shoulders. He didn't really care what those two were doing.
