FYI, I'm doing this one in actual paragraphs so it'll switch whenever someone else talks
Iceland didn't like being in France. He didn't like being in France without his brothers. The four other Nordic countries had 'encouraged' him to get out and explore by abandoning him with no phone in a remote part of France. Iceland wandered around, grumbling angrily. He walked around, finding he was by a beach. He walked along it, annoyed but kinda glad that no one was around. It meant he had some peace. Maybe his stupid brothers idiotic plan would benefit him. Then he heard crying. And his hopes for peace went down the drain. He continued walking, noticing someone in red amongst the blue sea, holding something close to them. As Iceland got closer he noticed several things. 1, The person was a man. 2, the person was the nation Hong Kong. He had often spotted the Asian at meetings but had never spoken to him. 3,the thing he was holding was a baby. Iceland walked over to Hong Kong who was crouched in the water. "Why do you have a child?" Iceland asks monotonously.
Hong Kong looked up and smiled a bit "I found her in the water. And She gets annoyed if I move to far from the ocean." Hong Kong, answering Iceland's unspoken question of why he was crouching in the water. Iceland crouched down, not particularly caring that his shoes and pants were getting wet, and took the small child from the Asian. Hong Kong, while shocked, let the other have the child. Iceland noticed the baby had long brown hair, fairly tan skin, and chesnut eyes. He also heard dolphin chirps. He poked his head up and noticed what appeared to be a pod of dolphins as close as they could be to the shore. Iceland stood up, curiously looking at the dolphins before deciding to walk towards them, not really caring how wet he got. "Hey!" Hong Kong says and follows the taller nation. "Where are you going?" Hong Kong asks, walking through the water alongside the other nation.
"The dolphins, they're closer than they should be to the shore." Iceland stated, and walked until the water 3/4 up his torso, not quite covering his boobs. It was up to Hong Kongs chin, which the Nordic found somewhat amusing. The large dolphins came up to the trio, and the baby seemed to want to be around the dolphins. Iceland, making sure she didn't do anything she shouldn't, lets her play with the dolphins to an extent. After a while though, the water becomes very cold, Hong Kong shivering beside him. Iceland didn't know why the other had stuck around after the water had gone below 10 Celsius, as it was obvious uncomfrotable for the warm nation, Iceland was used to cold waters, so it didn't bother him that much. However a the day went by he had figured the baby wouldn't be able to handle the cold temperatures the autumn weather brought. So Iceland turned around swiftly and started walking to the shore, Hong Kong followed quickly. "You're lips are turning blue." Iceland notes the false observation. Hong Kong's lips were still the same colour they always were, Iceland just found it amusing when the other basically ran on the water to get to the dry land, which turned out to be colder than the ocean.
"How are you not freezing?" Hong Kong asks, pulling on his shoes and Iceland shrugs.
"I'm a Nordic country." He states simply. "Where are we?" Iceland inquires.
"South eastern france-ish. We could boat to Italy from here." Hong Kong says with a shrug.
"We're on the other side of the country." Iceland notes. The World Meeting, which both of them had missed, was being held in Paris, in the North of France. Hong kong shrugged and started walking in a direction.
"Come on, theres a small inn this way." Hong Kong says, waving for Iceland to follow. Curiously, and wanting to get inside, Iceland followed with the now sleeping child in his arms. Despite his northern placement, Iceland's body temperature was warmer than his brothers since of his volcanoes. The biggest Volcanic eruption he had in 200 years had slowed earlier this year. Because of his body temperature being similar to that of the more southern nations (I'm going with the headcannon that the hotter your climate, the higher your body temperature is and the colder the climate the colder your body temperature), his clothes were quickly drying.
The two nations walked in silence as they walked through a forest, which Iceland found odd. Why would there be an inn out here? but he didn't comment. He figured the Asian nation knew where he was going. Soon enough they arrived at a old looking wooden building. Hong Kong entered and Iceland followed curiously. At the front desk sat a woman, well they looked like a woman, but they had horns growing out of their heads. (Yup, I'm bringing in magical creatures!) "Hello," Hong Kong says bowing his head slightly, before he could say anything else, keys were tossed at him and the woman walked away. Iceland looked curiously at the Asian, but Hong Kong ignored his gaze and walked to the stairway, waving for the Nordic to follow, which Iceland did.
After a few hours, and Hong Kong going down to make a few more requests, they had two twin beds, and a crib in their medium sized room. "Why is there an inn all the way out here?" Iceland asks, sipping the beer he had been given. The pair were also wearing borrowed clothes since the inn keeper, whose name Iceland learnt was Maria, who was also a Nature demon (dont ask), was concerned about them getting hypothermia and shit so she had insisted they let her wash and dry the clothes.
"It only serves to those with magical abilities or prosperity. So it's all the way out here to discourage normal people. Maria does often get the odd hiker or explorer but most of her guests are faes, demons other mythical creatures." Hong Kong explains with a shrug, he hadn't requested any drinks so he was just rocking the crib with his foot to help the unknown child sleep. "We should head back to Paris in the morning. Try and figure out who this is." Hong Kong adds when the pair delve into silence.
"You think she's a nation?" Iceland asks, eyeing the Asian curiously, who just nods in response. "What's your name anyway?" Iceland asks, if he was going to spend time with this man, he might as well know his human name.
"Wang Jia Long." Hong Kong states, "But most Europeans just call me Leon." He adds with a shrug.
"Leon?" Iceland asks, confused as to how you get 'Leon' from 'Jia Long' seeing as how that would've been Hong Kong's first name.
"It's the name England gave me when he took me away from China." Leon says with a shrug and Iceland bites his tongue, then decides to give his own name.
"I'm Emil Steilsson." He says with a small flash of a smile.
"Glad to formally meet you." Leon states then the baby wakes up crying. Leon picks up the child, trying to get her to go back to sleep, which he failed at. He handed her over to the taller nation who easily got her to go back to sleep. "I think she likes to play favourites." Leon grumbles as Emil put the child back in her crib.
"I'm just better with children." Emil says with a shrug.
"Are you often on babysitter duty?" Leon asks, looking at the other curiously. Emil silently shakes his head.
"I just get a lot of free time with my over protective family so I go to orphanages and hospitals in my country and play with the children there." Emil says with a shrug as if it wasn't a big deal. Which to him it wasn't. It was just part of his everyday life. The two delve into silence, then a knock sounds at their door and Emil answers it.
"Clothes?" another Nature demon asks, holding their clothes in his arms. Emil wordlessly taking the clothes, nodding his head in thanks and shut the door once the demon left. He tossed the red clothes to his Asian companion, Leon caught them and disappeared into the bathroom to change while Emil just quickly changed into his clothes in their room. He was finished before the Asian came out of the washroom.
"What should we call her? Ya know, until we figure out her real name."Leon asks, walking over to the sleeping child.
"You found her, what do you think we should call her?" Emil asks, kneeling on one side of the crib while Leon kneeled on the other side, both looking down at the tan baby.
"She looks like a Michelle to me." Leon murmurs, as the baby wakes up in a cliche movie way without crying and smiling. Leon pokes his finger in and the baby grabs the finger and lightly tugs on it. "Do you think she's a northern or southern country?" Leon asks and Emil shrugs.
"Judging from how your finger isnt dislocated, she's not a Nordic or Northern Asian. She might be from Canada." Emil states, and Leon looks curiously over at the white haired country. Emil notices and shrugs "When Denmark found me I dislocated his arm." Emil mumbles, sticking his own hand in and Michelle immediately grabs it, tugging lightly then decides to knaw on the finger.
"Wasn't he like an Empire when he found you?" Leon asks, not knowing much about European history other than what had effected England. Emil just shrugs, not knowing that much and not really caring about learning anything from the Dane's history. "All the Nordics are pretty strong, huh?" Leon asks, looking at the small, gentle child in the crib.
Emil shrugged "I guess. I think I just caught him off guard. " The nordic states in his normal monotone, and impassive face expression as the little girl knaws and sucks on his finger. "I think she's a southern country." Emil comments, gaining Leons full curious attention. "Her body temperature is higher than most northern countries. Also she's probably related to England. Maybe one of his African colonies." Emil states with a shrug.
"Why do you think that?" Leon asks, reffering to the part about being related to England.
Emil shrugged "Just a feeling. But seeing as how we found her in France, she might be related to him as well." Leon just looked at the other curiously. Then Michelle starts crying. Emil picks her up and does what he normally does to get her to sleep but she doesn't want to. "Can you go see if they have baby food, or formula here?" Emil, still trying to calm the crying baby. Leon runs out of the room and goes to the kitchen, soon getting a bottle of warm baby formula and handsd it to Emil when he returns to the room. Emil takes it, letting the baby drink from it as he held it a slight angle to help her.
"Do you often care for babies?" Leon asks curiously as Emil feeds Michelle, then burps her when her cries demand it, then places the baby in the crib.
Emil shrugs and takes off his coat, grabbing a towel to clean off the baby vomit. "Sometimes. When I go to the orphanage mostly." Emil comments then sents his jacket on the hook on the door. Sighing at the obvious baby vomit stain on it. Both men stay quiet. Emil laid down, face down on his bed, while Leon sat on the edge on his, thinking of the colonies England stole from France or vice versa. There was Canada, but he was male, and paler than a ghost. A few more colonies flew threw him mind, but he mainly stuck to the colonies that were connected to the ocean, African, female and had to do with France.
"Seychelles." Leon states after a few minutes. Emil sat up and looked at the other curiously. "Seychelles, she's a micronation east of African mainland, i think. From what i barely remember of her, she's always close to dolphins." Leon says with shrug, yawning.
"And we saw dolphins earlier." Emil comments nodding. "If we're going to be walking to Paris tomorrow, I'd suggest we both get some sleep." Emil mumbles before falling down on his bed, and passing out. Leon stays awake for another hour before following.
After 4 hours, the first rays of sunshine peak through the window, waking up the baby who in turn woke up the pair of nations looking after her. After calming and feeding Seychelles, the pair set out. Emil decided to wrap the baby in his coat since he wasn't going to wear it anyways.
After 3 hours (I have no clue how long it takes to walk from southern France to Paris and I have no internet) the pair arrive at their hotel. They decided to go to Emil's since China had decided Leon needed a roomate. South Korea. Emil set the baby on the bed with a sigh and a yawn. "I want to ignore the meeting and just sleep more." Emil mumbles, not caring enough to remove his accent from his words, making them carely intelligable.
Leon fell on the king sized bed as well "I heard sleep." He mutters, still tired as well. "We don't really have to go to the meeting, do we?" Leon mumbles, face buried in a pillow. Emil says something but all Leon could understand was "After" so he figured the other was saying they could just go down after the meeting. All three of them quickly fell asleep.
-changing perspectives-
The other four Nordic nations walk back into the hotel. They had gone back to search for their brother who they had left in the middle of nowhere but couldn't find him. Denmark, of course, had informed everyone, asking if anyone knew where he could be. China had also noted that Hong Kong was missing, but no one really heard him over the panicking Dane.
"Uh. Excuse me!" The receptionist calls, waving the four over who walk over to her curiously. "Your friend, Emil Steilsson, re-checked in earlier today, he was with a Wang Jia Long, they both needed another room key card. And they had a baby with them." The receptionist informs the four tall men. They had all seemed frantic the other day at the potention loss of their friend so she wanted to help them.
The four men rush off to Emil's room number, forgoing knocking and just breaking the door down. Somehow the noise didn't wake any of the three. The four Nordics walk into the room, stopping when they see the fairly adorable image of whats on the bed. Emil and one of the Asian countries who was smaller that him were curled up on the bed with a baby. The Asian man had the baby close to his chest while Emil had both of them close to himself. After a few (million) pictures the four slinked away, putting the door back up and leaving the four alone.
Downstairs, all the nations were in the buffet room. Eating after a fairly stressful and annoying meeting. Most people were in their usual groups; north Italy was with the Germanic nations, South Italy was with the BTT, much to his displeasure, The Nordics were together, the Baltics were together, The eastern Asian countries were together, then there was one unusual group. America, England sat with Ukraine, Belarus and a baby Russia who refused to leave either the brits or the American's side. Alfred had some issues trying to feed the baby russian. "Ukraine, what did he eat?" Alfred whines after Ivan had spit the food out all over the table.
"He normally ate whatever he was given."Ukraine says, still confused as to how her baby brother was a baby again.
"I'll go grab some other food. " Arthur mumbles, getting up and going over to the buffet, grabbing some of the more Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian Cusine rather than the American and European cusine Alfred had grabbed. Among the dishes Arthur brought back was Borcht, which Ivan happily ate with Alfreds assistance. The Nordics had taken the table next to the odd group, and were happily chatting about what they had seen when they broke into their brothers room. After successfully getting Ivan to eat, Alfred laid his head on the table. And started listening in on the Nordics conversation.
"Guys!" Alfred calls lazily, drawing basically everyone's attention. "Did you stop to think that this baby your brother was with might be a nation?" He asks tiredly. Ivan was not a sound sleeper and Alfred got way less sleep than he desired.
"What's this about a baby?" Francis asks walking over. Denmark happily shows the frenchman one of the photos he had taken and France had instantly recognized the baby. "Awww, Seychelles returned to being a baby." The Frenchman says happily, smiling at the photo.
"Why do I feel like we're going to call another meeting?" Alfred grumbles just as Ludwig declares that a meeting will be held in an hour in the Hotel's conference room, which he had reserved for some reason (probably predicting a situation like this).
In an hour, Emil and Leon had been forcefully woken up and dragged up to the conference room. The pair lazily sat beside each other, still really sleepy as the baby Seychelles played on the table. After a while, Germany declares that the meeting had begun and everyone started talking about how nations were turning into babies, and Iceland remembered that Denmark had been turned into a baby and Norway had managed to undo that. "Lukas, can't you just undo the spell or whatever like you did before?" Emil sleepily asks with his extremely heavy accent, making it so only 4 people actually understood him fully.
"I could, but its not much fun that way." Lukas mutters in his own native tongue (which im not translating). Emil gives his brother a halfhearted glare before laying his head down on the table, still tired and wanting to sleep.
After a few moments of silence and everyone curious as to what the brothers had said to each other, Lukas starts muttering the memorized words of the incantation to undo the spell. After about two minutes, both children nations were fully grown and fully naked. Ivan didn't seem to have an issue with being as bare as the day he came into this world, but Seychelles fully minded and hid beneath the table, until Leon handed her his over coat thingy (Idk what its called, and i dont have internet, but it's the red thing he wears. He's wearing a t shirt beneath because why not). After a while of arguing the meeting was dismissed as soon as the nude pairs relatives had gotten them clothing and everyone was sent to their room.
As I have mentioned multiple times in this chapter. After "Clothes?" I did not have internet when writing this which really annoyed me, cuz I wanted to update before midnight, which wouldn't have happened anyways since I finished this at like 3 am, woo hoo! It's saturday! I feel like Iceland and Hong Kong might be a bit OOC, I'm sorry if they are, I don't mean for them to be, but I haven't written either of them before nor RPed as either them so sorry if they're extremely OOC.
Also i aplogize for all spelling mistakes! This is also the longest chapter I've ever written.
