Author's Note: Welcome, welcome, to one of my oldest Hetalia Fanfictions-written sometime in the summer of last year- it's actually the first I've ever written for Hetalia and maybe I'll probably rewrite one day- who knows.

NOTE: I have kept this as close as I could to the original writing and only checked spelling errors and not accuracy, so I am sorry if there are any!

So, apologies, because I used to be a bit of a vague writer when I was younger - here's a quick plot of what's going on.

This is the story of how England and Norway met. It's split into three parts where Denmark wants to find friends! - For Norway. He goes to Prussia because he's part of the 'Baltics Hate Me' Trio* and Prussia has ALL the connections. They decide England would be a good friend for Norway and make a plan for them to meet.

*A trio created by me. That I thought might morph into the BTT later on. I plan to do a post about it over on my Tumblr over the weekend / and other stories of mine mention them - so if you want more information there's where you'll be able to find them in the near future.*

I Denmark Finds Some Friends

England and Norway had been best friends for forever. They had the craziest adventures to together; however, the story of how they met was most funny...

It all started at one of the Nordic Five meetings, and unsurprisingly it was all Denmark's fault.

You see, Denmark thought Norway was lonely so he, being the awesome older brother he was, hatched an excellent plan to get Norway a BFF.

The reason was that at time Norway was fighting with Sweden and Finland (again), Iceland was keeping his distance- refusing to answer any letters the Nordics sent him, and Denmark was forced to keep his distance because Sweden was threatened to start a war with him if he and Norway had any interaction.

No one was on speaking terms; however, everyone showed up dutifully. During the meetings, the five of them would sit silently through the whole meeting, to avoid fighting. The meetings were so full of tension nowadays that Denmark almost stopped hosting them.

Since Denmark didn't take part in the war, he saw this time as the perfect opportunity to hightail off to explore Europe in search of friends, so he set off immediately.

Upon his departure, Denmark decided to head east first; there was sure to be a good selection there! Let's see, the Baltics were fighting with him so they couldn't be Norway's friend, and that Russian kid was just creepy...well, guess there weren't that many choices after all.

Denmark returned home dissatisfied and explained much of the previous story and his frustration to members of "The Baltics Hate Me" group /aka. Just Prussia/ over a couple of beers.

"So you know that's why I'm worried about him, he doesn't have many friends outside of the Nordics."

"I hear ya, the same thing happened with Germany, but I did find him a friend, that little kid- uh, Latvia."

Denmark nodded, "Prussia, how do you have so many friends?"

"Well, I am awesome and have a wicked sense of humor!" Prussia said he stuck out his hand to shake Denmark's and yanked it away at the last moment, "psych!"

II The Great Prussia Plays Matchmaker:

They toasted and got down to business.

"Haha, okay, so I was thinking about maybe pairing him and Poland..?" Denmark said eagerly.

Prussia stopped, looking over his half-raised glass, "Why?"

"Why?" Denmark stopped for a moment- as the self-proclaimed leader of the Nordic Five, his motives were rarely challenged. "Ah, well- Poland has pretty good morals, he's a- very driven, and he a pretty well-spoken guy." Denmark stammered a bit, "plus he's been around forever, so Norway's bound to learn something from him. What do you think, Prussia?"

"No, not Poland." Prussia shook his head and placed his glass back on the table. Right now, he was fighting Poland and Lithuania right now, and he didn't want any other countries- especially the Nordics- getting involved.

Denmark raised an eyebrow, confused by Prussia's answer because everyone agreed with him, "Why not?"

"Don't get me wrong; those are all great points, Denmark. But you see, Poland tends to take more than he gives. He's also pretty overwhelming and besides Lithuania's already fulfilled the BFF thing." Prussia explained eased back into his chair.

"Oh, okay, " Being critiqued and disagreed with was not something Denmark was used to, but Prussia had been around much longer, so Denmark trusted his judgment. They were an awkward silence.

Prussia pressed his lips together; he hated upsetting people though he never admits it- He was the awesome Prussia!

"How about I help you find someone?" Prussia offered hesitantly, "I know just about everyone in Europe."

"Really?" Denmark's whole demeanor changed.

"As long as you pay for the drinks."

"Aha! Drinks on me it is then." Denmark said back to his usually bouncy self.

Thus began them going down the list of countries, Greece- too far away, Italy-too big, Hungary- was too busy, etc.

They went back and forth for over two hours and only got through half of the list.

Finally, Prussia interrupted, "You know, from everything you just told me I think I know the perfect friend for Norway. I don't know him personally, but I have a buddy who does."

"Sweet! I'll have to meet him then!" Denmark said excitedly.

They made a plan to meet a week later so that Prussia could introduce Denmark to the friend.

It was a well-known fact, Denmark was the worst secret keeper on earth. His loudmouth and over-hyper, childlike personality made sure of it.

However, when the day of the meeting came, he somehow managed to slip out of the Nordic Five meeting a half hour early and keep why he was slipping out a secret. Having come up with a perfectly believable excuse that didn't spark any fights. Talk about talent.

Anyway, later that evening, "The Baltics Hate Me" group had two additions- France and Spain.

They four had good chemistry, and they were soon chatting with small talk while they ate. France and Prussia have a friendly debate about how to cook potatoes while Spain and Denmark bonded over their love weapons- specifically axes.

After they finished their meal and they had a couple of drinks they got to down to business.

"So, Denmark. We think we've found the perfect match for your little brother," France smiled, "his name in England. He's a bit of a wild child, but an intelligent one at that."

"Sí, senor! England is also an excellent friend and fun trading partner." Spain said added with a kind laugh.

The conversation was continued farther, but Denmark didn't need much more urging. Norway and England were going to be BFFs; he had his heart set on it! "Yes," Denmark said, slamming his fist on the table, "This is a wonderful idea!" He said missing the rest of the conversation.

The rest of the night was spent enjoying drinks bought by Denmark and cheers in different languages and a "We're so awesome!" (from Prussia) erupted from their table throughout the night.

III Norway meets England:

Now that Denmark had found the perfect friend for Norway, all that was left was to find time to introduce them. A year later, Norway and Sweden had a ceasefire and ended their war. This was Denmark's chance! Denmark was so excited that he yanked Norway out of his peacekeeping meeting with Sweden and practically threw him onto one of his trading ship heading to England.

Unfortunately, Sweden stuck to his word about starting a war with Denmark and the two had a long talk.

Norway arrived at England without Denmark and would stay there for about a month without a clear explanation until Denmark was able to get him.

"Thanks for letting me staying with you, England." Norway said as he watched the ship Norway arrived on faded into the distance, "my brothers always seem to forget I'm here."

"Mine too," England sighed, "it's so annoying being the youngest."

"Yeah, I'm technically the second youngest, but my younger brother refuses to acknowledge me as his big brother, but hey," Norway shrugged, "what are you going to do?"

"True." England laughed they continued watching the ship leave, "so, um, do you want to go inside now?" England asked.

"Yeah."

Norway and England weren't very close, to begin with. For the first couple weeks, Norway woke up every day at sunrise and watched the sea in hopes of seeing his brother standing on the bow of a ship. He used to hate seeing Danish ships coming into Olso, but now he wanted it more than ever.

Two months later a short hastily written note from Denmark arrived; however, it was so confusing that Norway could not read it. First, if all it was in Danish, so his fairy could translate it for him, but it was still confusing.

He had it translated to English and England spent four days trying to decipher the message with no luck. Because of this, Norway kept the letter but decided to hold off on responding.

England was interested in Norway's fairy and the two bonded over their love of fairies and other magical creatures. These conversations led to more and more interaction between the two of them until soon they were bffs.

It took almost another two months for a second longer letter arrived, apologizing for sending Norway battle plans instead of the intended message of hoping to ask how he was.

England and Norway frowned over the mishap but laughed over the reasonably lighthearted letter, and this time Norway wrote back.

Way later in the year, Denmark tore into the harbor and picked up Norway, quite literally, and there him back on a boat heading home and said: "Sorry England, I need to borrow Norway for a sec!"

Well, that 'sec' lasted the entirety of Norway and Denmark's union and until the end of Norway and Sweden's union- in total, over 500 years total.

Through all this mess he and England kept in touch by writing letters back and forth in what was a collection of over a thousand of secret letters in which they spoke about their lives, problems and annoying, but beloved brothers.

IV A short (possibly inaccurate) history lesson/ time skip.

—

As the time flew by, Poland and Lithuania became one with Russia, Spain flourished, and the Bad Touch Trio group featuring Prussia, France, and Spain become a thing...let's say a lot of craziness happened during that period, but throughout all the years Norway and England remained close friends. Denmark was proud of the choice to pair them and patted himself on the back before he had to go to war with Prussia / Feb. 1st, 1868/

Present Day-

Now all that was years ago; you probably want to hear what they're up to nowadays….

Technology only strengthened their relationship.

Now instead of only seeing each other at world meetings, they were able to talk and see each other whenever they pleased. They spent many nights they'd sit up all night on the phone communicating with each other. They visited each other so often that England came like a second home to Norway and Norway became a second home to England.

Norway and England's friendship would withstand both World Wars and last over 1000 years.

Once planes became popular in the 1950s, Norway and England took the two hours and fifteen-minute flight to each other's capitals at least twice a week and would spend the day together before they went home.
