AN: Here's another chapter.

I had planned for this story to only be a one-shot. But I can't help this.

When Norway woke up the following morning, it was to see Iceland curled up, fast asleep against his chest.

A soft smile graced Norway's features as he watched Iceland sleep for a moment. He was so calm. Even his icy mask he put up for everyone was gone in his sleep. It had been gone the night before too, after that nightmare.

Iceland began to stir then. "N'rway?"he asked tiredly, sitting up slightly.

Norway smiled faintly, placing his hands at the back of his brother's head and pulling him closer, placing a soft kiss to the boys already swollen lips. That would have to be taken care of, but otherwise..no marks.

Iceland grumbled, pulling away. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"
"Good morning to you as well,"Norway said, rolling his eyes. "Just greeting you a good morning."

Iceland mumbled something, curling back up against Norway under the warmth of the covers. "Thanks for last night,"

Norway was quiet for a while before he spoke. "What was the nightmare about, anyway?"

Dead silence fell for the longest. Then, just as Norway was about to ask again, Iceland spoke. "I..It was about..about losing you. I know I don't really say it or anything much, but I do care about your well being."

"Well, that explains why the kisses helped to sooth you last night then. Normally, you'd probably shove me away from you if I tried that,"

Iceland huffed, shifting to turn his back facing Norway at that. "Stop the joking, Norway."he said.

Norway sighed, "I'm not."he said. "Any other time, you would have pushed me away."

Iceland looked back at Norway for a moment before he shook his head, turning back and moving to capture Norway's lips in a kiss before he pulled back and sighed. "I wouldn't have,"
"Well..no matter the case..I'm not going anywhere, Ice. I promise I'm not going anywhere."

Iceland nodded, resting his head back over Norway's heart. It was steady, soothing.

"Noregur?"he asked after a while.

Norway hummed to show he was listening.

A moment's hesitation before Iceland continued. "Ég elska ţig."

Norway smiled faintly. "Jeg elsker deg også."he murmured, pulling the other nation up to kiss him again. This time, he wasn't questioned or pushed away.

This is such a cute pairing...though I am actually a shipper of DenNor...oh well, I had to. The prompt called for this to be written, and I had to give it a bit of closure.
