Though Iceland disliked Denmark's company since Norway became a girl, he did like that that he and his sister had gotten back together. Iceland could tell the Dane made her happy, which strangely made Iceland happy as well. Today though, all of the Nordics had gotten together, Iceland, Sweden, and Finland seated around the table while Denmark cooked in the kitchen.
It took Iceland only a second to see that Norway wasn't with them."Where's Nor?" he asked with a frown.
Denmark looked up from his stirring to look at the youngest Nordic. "Hmm? Oh, probably puking her guts out in the bathroom. She caught some stomach bug or something. I mean you know she's sick when she won't have her coffee!" Denmark explained. Right as he spoke, she walked into the room, her long blond hair in a messy ponytail, her small frame covered in one of Denmark's old t-shirts and a pair of baggy boxers with little pink rabbits. She glared at Denmark's back as she took her seat beside her brother.
"It's rude to talk about people." she muttered under her breath.
"Bad day?" Iceland asked, his attention focused solely on her.
"Bad couple of days! I feel like the very definition of awful." she groaned, resting her head on the wooden table.
"Honestly, you do look pretty awful. I don't think there was ever a time you looked this bad." Iceland commented, pulling on her ponytail that was littered in knots.
"Thanks. You sure know how to make people feel so good about themselves." Norway bitterly replied, shooting her brother a look of death.
"Well at least you don't sound congested, so that's something." Finland piped up with a smile.
"Like I said, it's a stomach bug or something. Luckily I made soup! This'll make you feel as good as new!" Denmark grinned and brought out a large pot and some bowls, setting a bowl in front of everyone.
Norway's eyes watered and she ran out of the room holding her mouth, gagging in the bathroom. "What? It's Ollebrod! It's good!" Denmark yelled with a frown.
Iceland could smell it from where he sat and frowned. "It smells like beer! No wonder Nor ran off." Iceland said with distaste. Finland sighed, he had a feeling Denmark would make soup like that.
"I'll make the food! Iceland, why don't you go check on your sister." Finland suggested while he got up and walked to the kitchen.
…...
Iceland wandered down the hall and found Norway resting against the tub, her face red and streaming with tears. "You okay?" Iceland asked, resting his hand on her shoulder in a crouched postition.
"What the hell? What's wrong with me? My economy is fine, my people are healthy and happy, why do feel so awful?" Norway thought aloud in her state of misery.
"I don't know, maybe Denmark's right, maybe you just caught some nasty virus?" Iceland suggested while he transitioned to sit next to her on the cooled tiled floor.
"D-did I ruin lunch?" Norway asked, fresh tears flowing freely from her eyes. Iceland blinked in all of the years and centuries he had known Norway, he had never seen her look so vulnerable and... Sad.
"No. Den ruined it the moment he decided to serve beer soup!" Iceland chuckled, hoping she would feel better.
"B-but..." Norway's bottom lip quivered.
Iceland frowned, slightly freaked out by the amount of emotion she was displaying. "No buts. Now come on! Fin is cooking, and I bet it's already better than anything Denmark could ever dream of making." Iceland encouraged, grabbing Norway's hand and gently dragging her out of the bathroom, back into the dining room.
"I'm punished. I'm supposed to eat this by myself since I tried to serve everyone Ollebrod. This is my fourth bowl now... one more to go and I'll be done..." Denmark groaned, looking a little sick himself.
"Here we are! Kesakeitto! It has different vegetables and herbs! I make this for Sweden when ever he's sick!" Finland announced bringing a pot into the table. Denmark, who had just finished his food, groaned at the sight of more food and moved out of the room, washing his pot before he went into the living room to sleep off his stomach ache.
Norway looked at the pot Finland had brought out, relieved the smell hadn't caused her to run off again and filled a bowl halfway, hoping she could actually stomach it. She took a tentative bite, swallowing it, and waiting for a second, "This is good." she smiled softly, eating the bowl slowly, just in case, but very obviously enjoying it.
…...
With all the Nordics fed, they went out to the living room to watch a movie, all snuggled comfortably on the large couch as Iceland turned the DVD player on, the movie Frozen playing. All of them quietly watched the movie, the dark room flooded with light from the screen. The movie was at the half way point and all watched as Kristoff took Anna to the Trolls.
"Anna is so stupid! Kristoff is perfect and I'm pretty sure, based off of how I looked when I was male! How can she not see that he's so great?!" Norway spoke up, causing everyone to look at her oddly. Iceland, and Finland who were seated on either side of her could see tears rolling down her cheeks.
"N-Nor? It's just a child's movie... chill..." Denmark stuttered, using Iceland as a shield.
"It's just... so stupid..." the woman cried. Finland gulped nervously and grabbed the remote from Iceland, turning the movie off and getting up, nearly stumbling over Sweden as he moved away, terrified of the usually stoic woman who was now crying over a part in Frozen, one that wasn't even sad or upsetting.
"Nor? Let's go get changed and go see a doctor, okay? Maybe you have a fever or something? If not, then maybe the doctor can prescribe you some... Special... Medicine, okay?" Denmark spoke slowly and stood up carrying the girl away to his room, where he had left some of her clothes in.
