Jackfruit
Iceland and Hong Kong found out the Nordic was allergic to jackfruit the day they celebrated their 3 month anniversary. Which, to say, was just hanging out in Hong Kong's house as they play video games, lighting fireworks and order takeout. And a lot more flirting and longer sweet kisses. Needless to say, the boys' definition of celebration was very bland.
When Iceland had been raiding the cabinets, he found the fruit. Iceland had never seen the fruit. They decided to cut it open and eat it, Iceland having his first taste of jackfruit.
They cut it into tiny pieces and ate some. The allergic effect didn't kick in until the couple started another round of Mario Kart.
"Dammit, why are you, like, so good at this game," Hong Kong remarked as he lost again.
Iceland stuck his tongue out. "I have a driving license."
Hong Kong turned, a biting retort on his lips. "Oh – Ice, you okay? You're, like, all red and oh god, is that, like, a rash…"
"Huh? Don't know but it's been itching for a while now… Like really itchy." Iceland roughly scratched at the red area.
"Oh god, are you like, dying? You're dying aren't you?" Iceland was furiously scratching himself. There were hives breaking out on his arms.
"You're dying! I have to call a doctor. Wait, no, too much traffic. It'll be too slow," Hong Kong deeply considered his options. "I'll call Japan. He'll know what to do."
"Hello?"
"Japan, help! Iceland's, like, dying! He's all red and has, like, these bumps all over and he's scratching himself like crazy. Oh god, he's, like, sweating! What do I do?"
"Uh… I don't know any illness like this. Um… are you sure he's not allergic to something? Did you guys try something new?"
"Um.. yeah. We, like, ate a jackfruit. I think it's, like, new to Iceland."
"Then don't worry, it'll pass soon. Just get him some ointment to ease the scratching."
"Okay. Like, bye." Hong Kong hung up.
Hong Kong ran to the bathroom and searched for the ointment. He applied some on Iceland, soothing the itchiness.
Iceland lay there, gasping for breath. "Hong Kong?"
"Yes?"
"Worst anniversary ever."
Hong Kong chuckled quietly and kissed Iceland on his forehead. "Next time, we can, like, try the lychees instead."
Didn't know what to do for J and this came out. A scenario like this is bound to happen since they live on opposite sides of the world.
