Chapter 2
Norway moaned slightly as he carefully opened his eyes. His head was throbbing, his legs were numb, and his butt felt sorer than it had been in decades. In all honesty, he would have liked to go back to sleep until he felt normal again, but he then heard Denmark asking him to wake up.
"Nor, are you okay?" Denmark asked worriedly as he watched Norway slowly start to rise from the bed, only the Norwegian to then lean against him in a sitting position. Several hours had passed since the event in the meeting room, and since then Denmark had tried his best to care for his friend. In response, Norway dully stared at the blankets around him, his own slightly trembling hands, and eventually Denmark as he remembered what happened to him. His face lit up slightly as a shiver went down his spine.
"Nor? Hey, tell me what's wrong? Are you cold?" Denmark asked in response to the shiver, holding Norway's head to face him.
"No…I'm not cold," Norway whispered as he pulled the covers more over him until it covered his blushing face.
Norway could not believe that his troll would do something like that to him. The troll was his friend, his ally since he first learned how to use magic all those centuries ago. But was it simply a side effect of England's spell that made troll attack him like that or was there something else about it? He would need to talk with England in detail about this; after he beat the brat up and felt less embarrassed about it of course. Thinking of his own embarrassment, Norway realized something which caused him to groan and say, "The entire world saw."
"Um, ya, I guess so. To be honest I don't know what surprised them more; seeing that thing you call a troll or…," Denmark began in response, only to stop when he felt Norway's face nestle into him followed by some rather uncharacteristic sounds from the usually cool and collected nation. Denmark always knew that Norway was shy around the other nations, and the whole event had most likely left a huge gash in his ego. With a sigh Denmark continued, "It's alright Nor, forget about them and your troll and everything else. What's important right now is making sure you're okay."
Norway gave a nod to this and mumbled out some noise, causing Denmark to smile and say, "That's good. It's a little passed dinner time, would you like me to get you something to eat? Oh, and I was supposed to tell the others when you woke up! They were really worried about you."
"I'm not hungry, and who exactly do you mean by 'others?'"
"Oh, just the other Nordics, but I'd bet some of the other nations outside our group would also like to know how you are."
"I don't want to see them. Tell them that I'm awake if you must but don't tell them to visit me," Norway answered.
"Not even Iceland?" Denmark asked to make sure. He could understand why Nor wouldn't want more people to see him in such a state, but he was also not so sure that it would be best for Norway. After feeling a nod from next to him, Denmark got off the bed and began a series of calls; only to look back to Norway to see the smaller nation look slightly worried.
After being asked what was wrong, Norway answered, "You can stay if you like."
Denmark smiled at this and after the final call sprang back onto the bed; ending with him hugging Norway. Norway did not push him away, which both pleased and worried Denmark, but instead Norway sank in the comfort the other gave him.
"So, do you want to talk about what happened or something?" Denmark asked, not completely sure how he was supposed to help Norway. He figured that this was supposed to be the part where Norway broke down and sobbed out what he remembered and felt, but the Norwegian simply stayed silent and stared down. At last Norway shook his head and said, "And what good would telling you what happened? You were there too, after all."
With this said Denmark gave a slightly cautious laugh before nestling down more on the bed and pulling Norway closer to him. There the two of them laid in silence for several long moments until eventually Norway fell back asleep.
Denmark awoke with a start when he heard Norway call out, "What do you think you're doing here? Get away from me!"
"Nor? What's going on?!" Denmark asked, instantly awake after hearing his friend.
"So you forgot what you did to me? I don't care just leave me alone!" Norway replied threateningly as he glared at the across wall. After some tense seconds of staring, Norway closed his eyes and sighed; only to then look over to Denmark's confused face.
"What happened, are you okay?" Denmark asked.
"I'm okay…Troll just… He came here wondering what happened yesterday and I don't feel like dealing with him right now," Norway answered.
"I see. So he's gone now right?" Denmark asked, only to replace his worry for relief upon seeing Norway gloomily nod his head. They then both looked at the clock to see that it was a decent enough time to get up for the day; and with some help from Denmark Norway was able to get dressed and his things packed. Upon seeing this Denmark asked, "I take it you're planning on skipping the rest of the meeting, huh. Do you want me to help you get home?"
"That's fine, we're not that far from the air port and there's no need for us both to skip the meeting," Norway rationalized.
"But what if I don't want to go to the rest of the meeting? What about you wanting me to stay with you?" Denmark pouted, not wanting to leave Norway so soon after everything.
"Don't be a baby. But I suppose if you want to escort me to the airport you can. Just don't be more late for the meeting than you have to," Norway answered with a slight sigh. Denmark smiled at this and was soon out of the hotel room with Norway, sending a text to the other Nordics to explain that neither of them would be at the meeting as they walked.
