Another new day began, and for Finland, another new raid on Sweden's diary.

Olen minä sua kattellut, niin
kirkkotietä kun astellut oot yksinäs, allapäin.
Sinut sulkenut siunauksiin,
että Luojamme varjelis sun elämäs etteenpäin.

Tino could imagine the scene perfectly; Berwald wearing a black tuxedo, his usually cold eyes this time had a special shine, his cheeks slightly tinged red, his lips curved in an almost imperceptible smile, surely thinking that this was the happiest day of his entire life. Then Finland himself would come, wearing a white tuxedo, with his heart beating a thousand kilometers an hour and his cheeks burning, smiling to behold the man who would become his husband…

"My god, what am I thinking…" He looked at the page of the diary again after slapping his forehead. "I should stop reading this, it's filling my head with strange thoughts."

There was another small note: 'get a ring', that was followed by a small mark, probably indicating that this point that been accomplished.

"A ring?"

It wasn't until this moment that he fully realized what was going to happen; Sweden really was going to ask him to marry him.

His heart began to beat faster.

He still wasn't sure about his feelings and honestly he felt a little terrified. But if he said that he wasn't even a little excited, it would be the biggest lie in the world.

"If I was Su-san, where would I hide a ring?" His eyes travelled around the study, only for him to remember that last night he had seen Sweden putting something in one of the drawers of his bedside table in their room.

He went there in a hurry.

"Now it's your turn to hide, Hana-Tamago!" He overheard Peter's voice. It calmed him to know that the boy was busy playing with his pet, because he still remembered the little incident from the day before, when he had been discovered with Su-san's diary.

As soon as Finland entered the room, he focused on the little table next to their bed. He stretched out his arm very slowly to open the first drawer, looking in, trying to make no noise and letting a sigh of frustration escape as he didn't find what he was looking for.

Perhaps in the other…

He opened the other drawer, this time not caring if he made noise or not. Sealand was busy playing and Sweden was working in the garden.

Finally his fingers brushed against something smooth just at the back. He held his breath as he pulled out the small box made of black velvet and took a couple of minutes to contemplate it carefully before opening it. He abruptly covered his mouth with his hand.

The ring, that would soon be his ring, was inside, resplendent. It was a small, golden circle with three tiny diamonds.

He proceeded to remove it and instinctively slipped it onto his ring finger, on his left hand. He smiled to see that it fit perfectly.

No…this isn't right, I'm not supposed to want to marry Su-san…right? he thought. In truth he wasn't so sure anymore; he didn't know what to think. His mind told him one thing, but his heart beat excitedly each time he thought how it would be when Berwald proposed to him.

He heard a noise behind him and turned, frightened.

"Hana-Tamago…" he sighed, relieved to discover that it was the just the small dog. The cute little animal looked at him curiously, his head tilted, as if to ask him what he was doing. Finland picked him up. "You don't know how much you scared me."

"Hana-Tamago, where are you!"

Peter sounded nearby. Finland was about to put down the dog and return the ring quickly when he heard his son calling to someone else.

"Look, Daddy!" the little boy shouted. "I think that I saw him go through here."

Oh no, Su-san! He could have sworn that his heart stopped beating for a few seconds. Now what?

Sweden and Sealand's footsteps indicated that they were approaching the room. He quickly closed the drawer and…

"That's weird, I was sure that he came in here," he heard Peter say.

Hidden beneath the bed, Finland caught a glimpse of Su-san approaching the bedside table. He held his breath and mentally cursed. He was still holding the black box and wearing the ring. In his arms, Hana-Tamago was struggling to break free.

"Shhh…" he said as quietly as he could, covering his muzzle with a hand so that he couldn't make a sound.

"It isn't h're…" he heard Su-san say.

"Did something happen, Daddy?" Sealand asked.

"The r'ng's not h're."

I'm dead the Fin cried. He had to think of something fast, or else…

Desperate, Hana-Tamago bit him. He had to make every effort to not scream.

"I heard something!" Sealand exclaimed. "Daddy, there's something else here!"

This was it. In less than a second, Finland removed the ring, put it away, placed the box inside the dog's mouth, and pushed him out.

"Hana-Tamago!" The boy saw the dog, who had suddenly appeared and moved his head around, confused. "That's who was here… Eh? Whatcha got there?" He removed the box. "Daddy, look!"

Sweden sighed with relief to see the ring was still inside.

"Bad! You can't chew on Daddy's stuff! Don't do that!" Sealand scolded him. The little dog whimpered and the nation hidden under the bed felt a twinge of guilt. "What's that?" Sealand asked his father. "It's really pretty! Is it for Mama?"

"Mh…" Finland was sure that he heard Su-san blush.

"It's beautiful, Sea-kun is sure that Mama will like it very much!"

And after Sweden put the ring away again, they left the room.

After a while, Finland dragged himself out from under the bed, breathing hard. He was certain that so many emotions would kill him eventually. He remained lying on the floor a few minutes to calm himself and meditate on what had just occurred.

Su-san had bought a ring, especially for him, in order to formerly ask him to be his wife…

I don't know what to do, or even how I feel…

Dinner passed normally, except for the fact that Finland was quieter than usual, something that wasn't lost on Sweden.

"Are ya feelin' ok?"

"I'm fine," he responded, concentrating on collecting the plates from the table in order to not look at him. "Really."

But Berwald had lived with him for long enough to know when he lied. And he was positive that Finland was lying.

"Ya sure?" he asked, and he put his hand on his forehead to see if he had a fever, which caused Finland to blush intensely and Sweden to worry more. "T'no?"

"I'm fine, Su-san, thank you for being concerned about me." He smiled to calm him.

The Swede directed his skeptical gaze at him but finally agreed, and after he helped Finland to carry the rest of the dirty dishes to the kitchen, he went upstairs.

"You're already going to sleep?" The other shook his head. "You still have work?"

"…Mh," was the only answer after a few moments.

But the Fin knew perfectly well that what he was really doing was finalizing the details for his proposal, surely going to write them in his diary. He chose to wait until after he put Peter to bed before heading to Sweden's study.

"Su-san?" he called timidly. Sweden was at his desk, writing something that he quickly hid when he noticed that violet eyes were watching him curiously. "Sea-kun wants to say good night to you, are you still busy?" The other shook his head and stood. "Then I'll wait for you in our room, I'm going to sleep."

"G'night," Sweden said, and planted a kiss on his forehead.

He nodded, blushing. But he waited until the Swede had entered their son's room to examine the diary. He was just getting ready to read it when a bark claimed his attention.

The faithful pet observed him from the door. Tino thought that surely he was angry, resentful that he had caused him to get unfairly scolded.

"I'm really sorry, truly I am," he apologized, "but I didn't have any other options, and I'll make it up to you, ok?"

"Woof woof!" he barked more loudly than before.

"Enough!" he exclaimed, fearful that the noise would alert Sweden.

But the dog continued barking and howling with all of his might. Apparently this was what Hana-Tamago wanted. It wasn't fair that only he got scolded.

"H'na-T'm'go!" Finally, the bespectacled nation appeared. He looked worriedly first at the dog, and then at Finland, who barely had time to put the diary back in its place.

"I w-was…I-I only…uh…" he could see the expression of surprise on Sweden's face, asking him what he was doing here. "I-It's just that…I thought I saw a Moomin and well…I wanted to say hello to it," he apologized, diverting his gaze and feeling like his whole face was burning. The other arched an eyebrow and Hana-Tamago left feeling satisfied, keeping his tail and head held high.

"Ya s're that yer feelin' ok?"

Finland nodded energetically. Surely at this point Sweden was considering the possibility of taking him to the psychiatrist.

"I'm only a little tired, that's all."

Before the Swede could say anything else, he left the study in a hurry, his face still completely red.

"Hana-Tamago, the little traitor," he murmured.

Not only had he looked ridiculous in front of Su-san, he now had to wait until tomorrow to see what he'd written in his diary.


Translation of the lyrics:

I will behold you,
As you step along the aisle of the church.
In my prayers, I have asked that
God may keep you safe in the future.

A/N OMG…I remember when I was little and I saw the Moomins on TV ^^ …my childhood! T.T now I feel old D8 …anyone else used to watch it? XD

T/N The lyrics for this one are a little…more messed up than usual. xD The two sources I take them from were completely different this time, soooo…I did my best, but I have NO idea how they compare to the Finnish. Probably poorly. xD

Thanks for reading, the next chapter will be coming soon!
