If you didn't like this chapter, I'm very sorry. This story is likely a mix of mythology, a chance to get more stories involving Sealand, and trying to release it from my head. I'm sorry if you don't like it, I truly am.
Note: This chapter may have Finland rather OOC at first. I apologize for that. I figured he'd be more believable since I can't really see Sweden angry.
Disclaimer: I do not own Hetalia.
Edit: I fixed Sweden's speech patterns. After a while it was starting to bug me. Hopefully now you can understand him better.
"What do you mean Peter was kidnapped by a monster? Did you even try to help?"
Even though they were in the other room, the Baltics, Nordics, and Sealand's friends could hear Finland clearly, chewing England out for what happened. When Finland and Sweden came to get Sealand to take him home, they were alarmed that the other kids were there, but not Sealand.
England, with a pale face, asked to see the two in private, and within seconds, the others heard Finland practically explode.
"Raivis, what happened?" Estonia and Lithuania asked Latvia when they had a chance. They asked him about what was going on, where was Sealand, and why Finland was suddenly so worked up. Latvia tried to answer their questions as well as he could. They would have asked more, had Finland not drowned them out.
"He's your brother! Why didn't you do anything? I can't believe you! Berwald, say something!"
Up to this point, Sweden had not said a word. The other countries listened up, and one or two of them even put their ears to the door, since he likely wouldn't be as well heard as Finland.
"Y' weren't doing y'r job, were y', Arthur?" Sounded about right. If England was paying attention, none of them would be in this situation.
"Well, I...um...oh, bloody hell, uh..." England was at a loss for words now. Of course, he had one person yell at him, and another call him out on his negligence. He was really being made to feel small here.
"You weren't doing your job! That's why Peter's gone!" Finland stopped, and the ones at the door could hear sobbing noises coming from him now.
"I can't believe this...I can't believe he's gone..." It sounded like he was all yelled out, and all that was left were tears and sadness for him.
"'S all right. S' not y'r fault," they could hear Sweden say. Then there were more muffled sobs, which was probably Finland crying into Sweden's shoulder. To have such an event like this happen to them was just awful.
For a little while, all anyone heard was sobbing and the occasional, "Why?" until Finland lashed out with a "Get away from me!" that clearly was directed at England.
The two nations listening closely got up and away from the door when it opened. Sweden had his arm around Finland as Finland wiped his face with his sleeve. He was still sobbing, and along with that, he was hiccuping.
Estonia got up and went over to his friend. "Are you all right, Tino?" He whispered. He got a silent 'no' in response when Finland shook his head. Of course, Estonia felt he had to ask.
Finland broke away from Sweden and walked over to Sealand's friends. He took a shaky breath.
"You three need to tell me. Is Arthur telling the truth? Was Peter taken by something not human?" Liechtenstein, S. Korea, and Latvia looked at each other, then back at Finland. All three of them nodded.
"That's right, Tino. That's what happened," Latvia said in a soft voice, worried that Finland would lash out at him too.
Finland sniffled before speaking again. "Are you sure? You're not saying that just to defend Arthur, are you?"
"We would never lie to you," Liechtenstein said.
"Yeah! It's not like we would deny something we saw with our own eyes, daze," S. Korea piped up.
Finland wiped his eyes again as he nodded. "Don't worry. I'm not accusing you three of anything. I know you tried to help."
Sweden approached his figurative wife and embraced him again. He didn't want to see Finland in this condition. His emotionless face betrayed the turmoil that he was fighting with inside himself. Who or what would take their little boy away for no reason?
"Berwald, I want to go home," Finland said to the man hugging him. Sweden put a hand on his head and held him tighter. Of course. The last thing he wanted to see was his wife having another nervous breakdown in front of everyone.
...
Later that day, when they got home, Finland almost immediately went upstairs. Hanatamago began yipping and jumping around her master's feet, but Finland didn't notice her. She then zipped over to Sweden, who simply said, "g' lay down, dog."
Sweden walked into the den and looked around. It was so quiet without Sealand. He missed his laughing at the TV, his bugging either of them to go buy chocolate bars at the candy store, his prank calling England...
Sitting down onto the overstuffed couch, Sweden watched Hanatamago chase her own tail. He almost envied the dog. She didn't have to worry about losing her child. All she needed was food, a bed, and a doggy door leading outside so she could roam and play and foul up the yard.
He sat and watched her for a little while, then got up and checked on Finland. Even before opening the door, he could tell Finland had started crying again. The poor thing was absolutely inconsolable.
He quietly turned the knob and entered. Finland was wailing into his pillow. When Sweden walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, his 'wife' turned his face to look at him, quieting down almost instantly.
"What are we going to do, Berwald? There has to be something we can do," he choked out. The larger of the two put a reassuring hand on the other's back and started rubbing it.
"M'know. We'll think 'a sm'th'n," Sweden said quietly to Finland. He knew that even though he was acting strong like usual, deep inside, he was screaming and blaming himself. He would do anything to get his boy back, even if he had to give his life in exchange.
For now though, all he could do was sit here and comfort Finland.
I'm sorry to leave it here. I needed to update after being gone from the computer for a couple of days.
I'll try to elaborate in the next chapter.
