Lukas stood outside their bedroom, listening to Matthias' crying. He'd been crying his eyes out for over half an hour. Every minute or so Lukas would hear his cries break apart, Matthias would apparently get frustrated, and he'd just cry harder. This was too abnormal to be considered a one-time thing. Matthias' eternal grin would shine through even the bleakest situations, he found it hard to believe that anything would cause him to feel this depressed. Which is why his heart skipped a beat whenever Matthias' cries became a bit louder.

"Matthias, please. Open up." Lukas said, he knocked on the door a couple times, but he was met with more crying. Why did he just break apart like this? Did something happen? Or was he bottling this up for a while? No, no..If he was bottling it up, he would never hide something this important from him..would he?

"Matthias! Open up or I'll break this door" Lukas warned, Matthias didn't seem to stop. So Lukas tried again, hoping he'd get through to him.

"Matthias! I mean it! Open the door!" This was one of the uncommon occasions where there was nothing but emotion in Lukas' voice. He hoped that breaking his monotone routine would send the proper message, but alas, it failed. He had no choice, he could replace the door, he could treat his leg were anything happen to it, he could fix anything, but Matthias..

"Matt!" Lukas yelled, he ran over to the bed, where he saw the Dane draped in blankets crying into a pillow. That was by far the most pathetic sight he'd seen. Matthias was strong, happy, he'd never admit he's wrong or to a problem, to see him like this..however, in retrospect, this was probably what caused this outburst in the first place.

"Matt, Matt, are you listening?" He said as rubbed the 20 year-old Dane's hair. He noticed a small nod into the pillow, and decided to take that as a yes.

"Come on, I'll make you some tea" He tried to move Matthias to the kitchen, but he refused to move, and just kept crying. This was extremely disheartening, what could've happened that would've resulted in such a reaction from him? It's just difficult to believe..

"Matthias, please, talk to me" Lukas tried to sound as less monotone as possible, and he seemed to succeed, because the Dane seemed to put an effort into trying to stop the tears.

A minute passed, two minutes passed..an hour had passed until Lukas finally managed to calm Matthias down.

"There, see?" He said, Matthias finally decided to sit up and drink the tea Lukas made him. When he first sat up Lukas stared directly into his eyes. Red. That was all he could see, his eyes were so red and puffed up from all the crying that Lukas had to fight back the tears himself.

"Matthias, are you going to talk to me? What happened?" He asked, this time in a more serious tone. Matthias sniffled a bit and shook his head. He was rubbing his eyes a bit too much, Lukas decided to try and move him to the bathroom to wash up a bit, after about 10 minutes, he succeeded in moving him. The cold water splashed on Matthias' face, it seemed to bring him back to reality a bit. Just a tiny bit.

"Feeling better?"

"Y-Yeah.." Lukas mentally smiled. This was the first thing he said to him in hours, he knew that if he persisted he could break down that pathetic shield of sorrow that the Dane tried to put up.

"Are you going to talk to me?" Lukas felt as if he was talking to a child, but to be fair, this was Matthias, he was as child-like as any 20-year old can get. He waited for a while until he shook his head again. He sighed.

"Come on" He dragged him to the living room and sat him on the sofa, Matthias just hugged his legs. He would've went in bed with him, but the pillow was full of tears, he wondered if Matthias was dehydrated..

"Relax will you?" He said. He sat down next to him and decided to see if a little contact would help. He hugged his chest. The first thing that took him by surprise was how fast Matthias' heart was beating. It was like a drum, he could feel the heat radiating from him.

"Shh, whatever it is you're worrying about, it's nothing that can't be fixed" Lukas said. It seemed to calm the Dane down as he uncurled from his position and hugged him back. He would've told him that he was almost crushing him, but he tried to avoid saying anything that could make him feel bad. Matthias just held tighter and tighter to him. They spent the next 20 minutes in each others' arms looking at the snow's barrage of the capital in absolute silence.

So, will you tell me what happened? No, that'd be too demanding. Matthias, you know I care about you, so please, tell me what's wrong? No, no, that's too soft. There had to be a way to find out what's wrong without having to hurt his feelings. Matthias maybe happy-go-lucky, but he was quite sensitive.

"Are you alright now?" Lukas said softly. Matt nodded with a lot more energy than before. After a minute of thinking, Lukas decided that Matt probably doesn't want to talk about this now or anytime in the near future, so he'd leave it for now.

"Maybe we should go to bed, Ok?" He asked. Matthias didn't seem to respond, but followed him nevertheless. Lukas replaced the pillows and jumped in with Matthias. During entire night Matthias keeps kicking and punching. He got punched a bit too much, so he decided to just sit down for a while until the Dane calmed down. God..what happened?

Lukas came back home a little late to find him in his room like that, what could've happened in the 2 hours that he didn't talk to him that could've caused him to be like this. What's worse is, Matthias kicked him about 5 times in his sleep. The Dane was pretty fit, so a hit to the stomach was quite painful. This was a surprise because Matthias would-normally-be a pretty heavy sleeper, though, sometimes he'd go a bit insane and kick and punch in his sleep, but those weren't common. Still..

"Morning" Said Matthias.

"Morning" He said as he rubbed his eyes. He barely got any sleep last night. Between the kicking and hugging to death, there were a few moments of relative peace that he managed to sleep between, but still. Wait, Matthias?

"How're you feeling?" Lukas asked curiously. It was quite a sight, just yesterday he was crying his eyes out and could barely move.

"I'm great! How 'bout you? I was thinking we could do something on our off day today, it's getting boring. Plus the snow doesn't help. Oh! I know! How about a bar…..maybe we could even go to a…." Lukas zoned in and out between Matthias' rambling. He was just too tired to care, whatever Matthias was worried about seems to have left his mind, he still needs to question this further, but until then, some sleep would do him well.

"Hey? Are you listening?"

Ok, so first chapter's just an introduction to the problem, I promise the next chapters will be longer. This is my first time writing romance, and Norway's attitude isn't exactly easy to write. So forgive me if anything's OOC. Thanks
