Hi! So, for those of you who have read "Big Brother", this is a story I decided to do for my beloved Hetalia OC, Greenland. Mostly just fluff I decided to post for my fellow "fluffer-nutters". Not sure how long it'll be, but we'll see how it goes. Suggestions and ideas are always always ALWAYS welcome! Anyway, please enjoy, lovelies!
Big, blue eyes. That was about the only thing they had in common. Denmark carried his little colony into the house of the Nordics and set her down. He beamed brightly at the little girl who looked up at him timidly. "Ok, Greenland. From here on out, this is your new home. You'll be living with us, ok?"
The little colony stared up at him with those trademark cerulean eyes of hers. She was only a newly discovered land, so she didn't know too many words, much less very many words to respond back with. Quite honestly, she didn't know what she thought of the loud spoken Danish man, either.
Norway, who had gone on the expedition with him to show Iceland a few things about sailing and hunting, could hardly believe that this quiet little tot was somehow related to such a boisterous country like Denmark. Even while they were making the trip home from the icy tundra, he noticed there were stark differences between the two. For one thing, Greenland got seasick, and pretty easily at that, while Denmark loved sailing. The difference in volume was already clearly established. He wondered if things would really work out. He put a hand on Denmark's shoulder. "Dane… I know you only had her around for a couple of days, but… Are you sure about this? Raising a colony is a lot of work."
Ignoring the seriousness in his tone (as usual), the blonde smiled cheerfully. "Aw, lighten up, Norge! I can handle this. Besides, she's only this big. How much trouble could she possibly get into?"
Norway thought it was best not to answer. He looked down at Iceland, who was just growing out of the "chibi stage", as they called it. There was once a time when he wondered how much attention the little country would really need. It turned out, though he was a serious and generally straight-faced child, he had his needs, too. He was, after all, only a child. Greenland was only a child herself. Was Denmark really up to the task of raising her?
Denmark looked down at the little colony, who gazed at him curiously, as if she was waiting for him to say something. "So, ah… What now?"
Norway resisted rolling his eyes at the question. Sure, he was new to the whole "big brother" title, but one would think he could think of something to do for her. For one thing, she would need a room. And something to eat eventually. And they would need to get some more clothes for her. And it couldn't hurt to introduce her to the other Nordic countries. Considering it was her first day here, he decided to help Denmark in taking care of Greenland for a while. At least until he got into the swing of things. "I'll tell you what, Finland and Sweden are around here somewhere. Why don't you introduce her while I prepare a place to sleep for her?" The guest room was their best bet. She was a girl, and being a girl, it was probably best for her to have her own space.
Denmark smiled widely at the idea of a chance to brag about his new little sister. "Yeah, sure! C'mon, Greenland! Let's go introduce you to Uncle Finland and Uncle Sweden, eh?"
The toddler nodded and held onto his pant leg with one hand, biting her thumb in anxiety with the other. Norway watched as the two went off to look for them. Iceland started off with them. Norway caught him, scooping him up into his arms. "And where do you think you're going, hm?"
"I want to go with them," he stated plainly.
Norway understood. The child was bored to death on the ship. He probably wanted to go and play for a while. Even still, the necessities came first. "But you just got back. How about a bath first, and then you can play. Alright?"
The child thought for a while at first, then nodded. "Ok…"
Meanwhile, Greenland was busy surveying her new home. The house was big, and much warmer than the frozen tundra she had grown up in. She looked around anxiously, still biting her thumb. What if she got lost? She would be able to find her big brother again, right? She looked up at the tall Danish man. Of course she would. He was loud enough to hear from miles away.
As they walked on, Greenland heard a sort of yipping noise. Curious, she walked over to the source, followed by Denmark, who figured it was a pretty big brotherly thing to do. She turned a corner to find a small, white, fluffy puppy-dog chasing her tail. Greenland stared in awe for a moment, until the dog noticed her. Panting happily at the chance to make a new friend, the dog rushed over and jumped up, putting her forepaws on Greenland's slender shoulders and smothering her in wet puppy kisses. Greenland, who was inadvertently knocked over by the puppy's innocent playfulness, giggled and squealed with laughter.
At first, Denmark was worried she was hurt, but upon hearing her laughing, he knew she was ok. He couldn't help but laugh at the way they played together. "Looks like you made a friend already, huh?"
Just then, Finland came down the hallway. He was a bit shocked at his dog licking an innocent child to death, but couldn't stifle the slightest bit of laughter. It was just so cute to see them that way! Alas, he figured it was best to allow the girl to take in a few breaths. "So this is where you ran off to, Hanatamago!" He looked at Denmark, still unable to contain an amused smile. "Sorry about that, Dane."
Denmark helped the still-giggling little girl to her feet. "Ah, it's alright. No fatal injuries, so we're all good here."
Finland put Hana down, who happily scampered off, and looked again at the little one before him. "So, this must be the little Greenland you wrote to us about, yes?"
Denmark nodded proudly. "Yup! This is my new little sis!" He looked down at her. "Go on and say 'hi' to Finland!"
Still feeling shy, the little country simply hid behind the legs of her older brother, peeking out shyly from behind.
Finland laughed. "Oh, she's just precious!" He knelt down to the child's level. "There is no need to worry. I won't bite, see?" He grinned widely to prove his point.
The little girl gave him a timid smile, but remained behind her brother. It was funny, they not only acted different, but even looked differently. For one thing, Greenland's hair was considerably darker, and she lacked that certain "hey-world-the-party-has-arrived" sort of look. She sported a much softer voice, along with more of an "I-just-hope-I'm-not-getting-in-the-way" look. One would only guess they were related if it was first pointed out.
Sweden was next to meet her, coming around the corner to see what the commotion was. Greenland looked up at the ridiculously tall blonde. With such an intimidating reputation, Denmark expected Greenland to cower in fear from the larger nation.
What he got as a response was a bit different. She came out from behind Denmark and gazed up at Sweden as if she was fascinated by his awesome height. The two stared at each other for a minute, until finally Sweden said, "Hello, little one."
Bashful but not terrified, the little girl giggled and shied away. Finland laughed. "A shy one, isn't she?"
Sweden nodded in agreement. "H'pe she w'rms 'p s'n, tho'," he said in his usual gruff way of speaking. Sometimes, it was tough to tell what he was saying, but the other Nordics had lived with him long enough to be able to figure it out.
Denmark was happy Greenland was getting along so well. So far, things seemed to be going well. It seemed the little one would get along pretty well with the rest of them. He smiled down at his new little sister. This isn't so bad, he thought, how hard could this parenting thing possibly be?
Well, not so much has happened so far, but what can I say? It is only the intro after all. Think I should keep going? Tell me what you think! I love hearing you guys' opinions and ideas! :D
