"Norge!" yelled Denmark, running into the living room. "I'm hungry! Can I get some food?"
He, along with the other Nordics, was staying at Norway's place. They had stayed there the previous night after the world meeting, but due to the snowstorms the next morning, flights had been delayed. They were waiting for everything at the airport to clear up, but in the meantime, had been reluctantly offered shelter by Norway.
"Yes," replied Norway coolly, turning the page in his book. "But if you even so much think of touching the butter in the kitchen, I will personally gut you like herring."
"Well, whatever," said Denmark, waving a hand and entering the kitchen. He found a jar of pickled herring and took two out, cutting them in half. He placed the halved fillets off to the side, proceeding to spread mayonnaise, sprinkle pepper, and place lettuce on a bread slice. He plopped the fish onto it all and placed the other slice on top of it, grinning. He was about to take a bite when he remembered a forgotten ingredient: butter.
Looking around, he spotted a butter dish on the counter nearby. Taking off the lid, he thought Eh, Norge won't mind if I just have a little bit.
He was just sticking the knife in the butter when there was a kind of rushing wind behind him. He turned around as a hand was placed on his shoulder. Norway was standing behind him, glowing with some kind of demonic aura.
"And just what do you think you're doing?" he said coldly.
"N-Norge? I'm, um…" he gestured to the bread. "Making a sandwich…?"
"With my butter?" the aura grew larger. Denmark squeaked.
"Um, yeah, it's just a little bit, so I figured you wouldn't mind—"
Norway grabbed Denmark by the collar and lifted him up. With his other hand, he snatched the knife from Denmark's hand, scraped the butter off back into the dish, and flipped it around so that it was pointing at Denmark's throat.
"Every. Bit. Counts." He hissed. Denmark squirmed and yelled, causing the others to come to the kitchen.
"Mm? What's going on?" muttered Iceland, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
Finland yelled "Norway! What are you doing to Denmark!?"
"Will one of you hold down this idiot so I can beat him?" asked Norway.
"Mm." Sweden came forward and held down Denmark. Finland cried out in nervous protest.
Thank you to guest "fire" for telling me that one of Norway's biggest fears is... running out of butter. Apparently this is because most of Norway is on the Atkins diet, a diet that promotes high fat intake and low carb intake. Butter prices have skyrocketed and some have been caught smuggling butter over the border.
Go Google "Norway butter shortage" and find the link to the Colbert Report clip on it. You won't regret it.
