"I'm sorry bror...I'm leaving.." said Norway as he stood firmly on the cold and icy ground. Hearing this, Denmark clutched his fist, faced Norway and with a worried look, he said; "When..When are you coming back...?" "I'm sorry, bror..This is goodbye.." he said as he turned his back on Denmark. "C'mon, Nor. It's time to go." said Sweden, looking calmly at Norway. "Ja..." They left, leaving a trail of footprints on the snowy ground and leaving Denmark behind. "Sve you idiot..It's all your fault...How dare you take Norge away from me.." As he hit his fist to the snowy and icy ground.
He saw Norway leave with Sweden. He has already grown tired of people running away from him. But he knew that this was all his fault because he mistreated them which caused them to leave. Recalling this, he walked on the icy and windy terrain towards home. "Norge... it's all my fault..isn't it..?" he said to himself emotionally while walking towards home in a rather gloomy and depressed way. Suddenly, he arrived home to see Iceland walking around searching for his brother. "Dan." Iceland said firmly to Denmark. "Where is Nore?" as he widened up his eyes in suspicion towards Denmark. Denmark, having no other words to say, shook his head side wards. Seeing this, Iceland felt suspicious. "Hei Dan...did something happen between you and Nore..?" he said as his hand was slightly trembling. "Norway...he..Nor left..." hearing this, Iceland was shocked. He held Denmark's arms with both hands, widened his eyes and said; "Don't tell me he just left like that?! Why didn't you do something?! You know I can't live without him!" Denmark was struck and feeling guilty and said; "I don't know..I think..he needs to go.. I just..don't know what to do..I really don't..." "What do you mean you don't know?!" shouted Iceland. "Ice, I just...I just don't know!" he said as tears rolled down on his cheeks and wiping them with his arm and walking briskly towards his room. He sat down on his bed, caressed the sheets and said; "I used..I used to sleep with Norge here.. he'd sit beside me and eventually fall asleep.." He lay down on his bed, covered his face with a pillow and said; "God...what have I done..? I have gone too far.. I have gone too insane.. It's all my fault... it's all my fault why they all left me.." as he cried with guilt and regret in his eyes.
Meanwhile in the windy and snowy outdoors, walked Norway and Sweden towards their nest destination- Sweden's home. "W-Why..? Why did I just leave bror like that..?" Norway said as tears fell down from his eyes. "It's 'kay, Nor. It's for the best." said Sweden as he patted Norway's back gently. Norway wiped his tears and said; "Right... It's for the best.. I chose this. I chose to be free." "Right." They continued walking towards their destination. While walking, Norway had tears coming out of his eyes frequently. He tried to wipe them away but still, more would come out. He knew that he regretted leaving Denmark behind. Sweden was aware of this and said; "Nor..do you really love Den that much..?" "I don't want to admit it but..I do. Ever since then, I loved him. Even though from the star I was afraid of him, I eventually learned how to love him and accept who he is." replied Norway. "I see. Yet then, why did you choose to leave him?" asked Sweden. "Well..you suggested that I should go live with you for my own good and..I want to learn how to fend for myself and be independent." "I see..now I feel that this is partly my fault." said Sweden as he grinned a little. "He has somewhat..gone too far, hasn't he?" Norway heard this and replied; "J-Ja..sometimes when I don't do what he wants, he'd do 'things' to me which I find painful an excruciating." "Okay..back then when me and Fin still lived with him, he'd mistreat us and treat us like animals. That was the reason why we left. He used to be so kind but..he has went out of control and went too far, I think." "Ja...I think so too." They finished their conversation and then suddenly, Norway touched his Nordic cross hair clip and said to himself; "Bror... Bror gave this to me once.." He caressed the cold piece of metal on his hair and thought of Denmark when he did so.
Meanwhile in Denmark's house. Iceland was thinking what could have led Norway into leaving. He thought deeper into his thoughts what could be the reason why he left. Then eventually, he remembered something. "Dan sometimes did things to Nore when Nore doesn't do what Dan says.." he muttered to himself. "Could this be-?!" he thought. This may be one of the reasons why Norway left. He walked towards Denmark's room, leaned his head towards the door and said; "Dan...I need to talk to you." "J-Ja.." Denmark opened the door to see Iceland outside. "So..what was it you wanted to talk about?" he said with tears still in his eyes. "Come with me to the living room. That's where we'll talk." said Iceland as he glared at Denmark. Then they walked towards the living room and sat down. "Now I know one of the reasons why Nore left.." said Iceland while he shook his head and clasping both hands together. "Well...what is it?" asked Denmark curiously. "You know what, I've been eavesdropping on the both of you for quite a while. Sometimes when I pass through the hall towards your room, I'd hear Nore moan and scream. I peeked to see what was happening and saw you do things to him. Don't you think that it's one of the reasons why he left?" Iceland explained thoroughly. "Ja...I thought of that once too. I even thought that if I continue doing those things to him, he'll eventually leave like the others did." "But now what..? Nore has already left and you're the one at fault, Dan. Haven't you even tried considering how Nore feels towards that?" exclaimed Iceland. Denmark was so struck with his words that he remained silent with no other words to say. "Dan, really..why did he even think of doing such things to Nore? I know he loves him that much but...why would he do that..?" he thought. "Come on Dan.. let's eat..." "Ja..." and then, they walked towards the kitchen to eat. Denmark got hold of a wooden spoon and said; "Hm..it's..delicious.. Tastes exactly like Norge's cooking..." "Probably because we're brothers, don't you think?"said Iceland. "Ja...Brothers..." Denmark hurriedly ate the food and washed the dishes.
Meanwhile while Norway and Sweden continued walking towards their destination, Norway asked out of the blue; "Hei Sve..why isn't Finland here? Isn't he supposed to be with you?" Sweden tilted his head side wards a bit and said; "It's a long story.. Russia took him away from me.. I really miss Fin so much.." "I see.. when Russia was trying to take him away from you, why didn't you stop him? Why didn't you fight for Finland?" he asked. "I just didn't have the strength to oppose a stronger nation such as him... I did fight for him but I lost him to Russia. I didn't even manage to protect him.." said Sweden regrettably. "Then be strong for him. Do what it takes just to get him back. If you truly love him then you'd do anything just to get him back because he's yours. He deserves someone like you to love." replied Norway while looking at Sweden with a serious look. "I know..and thank you for supporting me... You're such a great friend..." he grinned. "No problem, I'm always there for you, bro." said Norway, grinning. After hours of journeying, they finally arrived at their destination. "We've been a long way. Wanna eat?" said Sweden as he handed a piece of bread to Norway. "Ja..thank you.." he nibbled down the bread quickly because he was really hungry. He got hold of a glass of milk and drank it. "'kay now..let's rest, shall we?" said Sweden. "Ja." While sleeping, Norway can't help but think of Denmark. While thinking of him, tears rolled down from his cheeks. "Bror.." he muttered.
"It's getting late." Iceland said while holding a lamp. "Ja..let's sleep." Then the two went to their rooms to go to bed. Before going to bed, Denmark looked out of the window and said; "The moon is beautiful... so is Nor. His eyes twinkle like the twilight night.. He's.. just so beautiful... I love him'" as he stared out to the sky.
