Gorgeous
Hong Kong was usually the one complimenting Iceland because everyone knows that the boy was self conscious about … well, everything.
What other people don't know was that Hong Kong was also self conscious; about his thicker eyebrows, about how people thought he was a pyromaniac, how he wasn't good enough for China's standards, how some people thought he was a bully because he knew kung fu etc. He just hid it better than others. The only person to really know all this was Iceland.
Iceland thought Hong Kong was damn near perfect. He was gorgeous with those eyebrows, especially in the light of the fireworks (though having firecrackers with you at all times did make him seem like a pyromaniac). He was smart enough; c'mon, give the guy a break. He speaks Mandarin and English quite fluently and was trying to learn Icelandic to impress his boyfriend. And from Iceland's knowledge, Mandarin was pretty hard and Icelandic was nothing like it. He was definitely good enough.
And last of all, one of Iceland's guilty pleasure was watching Hong Kong practice his martial arts. He loved watching those muscles ripple and kicking lightning fast. How he moved into positions, some totally awesome while others looked totally hilarious. But Iceland loved all of it. Iceland loved Hong Kong.
Because I think that most people are all self conscious, even if they act confident.
