Handing out flyers was not as easy as Denmark thought it would be. They had been out in the streets of New York and the people kept just passing them when they tried to give any out. Denmark wondered if he had become as invisible as Canada. He didn't like it so he started just shoving the flyers into peoples faces until Fin told him that it was a rude thing to do. He sighed with a heart ache was this what Canada felt like all the time. He looked over at the curly haired nation. Canada seemed actually to be enjoying just hanging out with them. Iceland and him seemed to have hit it off and they were actually getting some flyers into the hands of busy New Yorkers. Denmark glanced back over to Norway. The Nordic was watching Canada like a hawk as he absentmindedly gave out flyers.
"Hey Norge?"
"Hmm" Norway's attention went to him.
"How did your lunch go?"Denmark asked.
"Fine. We both like the same coffee and Vinland um Canada wants to stay with us for a while. You don't mind right? The others are already going to be at the house for the holidays so I think it would be nice to.."
"Yeah of course he can stay. Is he gonna stay for Christmas?" Denmark was excited. It would be a Christmas never to forget.
"I don't know. He may want to go back to them for that." Norway pondered the idea.
Denmark growled at the idea of Canada getting near France or England anytime soon.
"When are we gonna tell him?" He asked, "Keeping this a secret is so dam hard."
Norway crumpled up his last flyer. "I don't know. I can't keep seeing him and have him not know. But there are so many possibilities but we better do it before I explode." He said. "I don't want to scare him."
Denmark studied Norway. He didn't look good. His face was paler than normal and he standing as if he had a stomach ache. To most he probably looked fine, but Denmark knew exactly what was happening.
"How many memories are you suppressing?" Denmark asked.
Norway jumped with a start.
"You can tell? Don't tell Fin." He pleaded.
Denmark sighed and rubbed a tired hand across his face. "I won't." He knew that Finland's more mothering tendencies could get a bit much for Norway. "But this isn't good you know that right. Let's go inside okay." His suggestion sounding more like an order.
Norway tiredly nodded.
"Hey guys me and Norge are gunna head inside real quick. I'll find some more printer stuff for more flyers." Denmark grabbed Norway's arm and led him away ignoring Sweden's knowing gaze.

Finding another empty office meeting room was actually pretty easy. Denmark closed the door as Norway shakily sat down.
"So now what..?" Denmark came up to Norway and realized the guy was silently crying. "Norge?"
"Don't." Norway whispered, "Don't look at me like that."
Denmark looked down at the floor this was behavior he had seen before. "Norway. I am not scared of this. I am not scared of your magic none of us are. If you have things inside building up just let it go."
"I am." Norway whispered.
"What?" Denmark asked.
"I am terrified of this. I scared of my own magic. That is pathetic isn't it.." Norway hugged his arms. "I was seeing Canada's memories. I kept thinking about how much I missed and somehow ended up picking up some of his memories and that brought up my memories and I don't want to go through them anymore." Norway curled up in the office chair. "I don't want to see all of it again. Lindane remembering her was hard enough. And what happened with England. I am so scared. I don't know what to do. I am not ready for anyone to see them."
Denmark wrapped an arm around his friend. "Norge you don't have to show me but you have to let yourself feel them. If you don't you really will explode. You aren't pathetic." He blushed, "To be honest you are the bravest person i know."
Norway looked at him with tear filled eyes. "I can't show you not now but...can you stay?"
"Trust me Norge. I am not going anywhere." Denmark gripped Norway's shoulder as the Nordic relaxed. Denmark saw Norway's eyes glaze over. He knew that his friend was no longer here but in a world of emotion and memory. The Nordic was shaking sporadically and Denmark held him.
He heard a click at the door. It was Sweden.
"Hey." Denmark said not even looking at the tall man.
"H' all right?" Sweden asked.
"He will be. Just needs a couple minutes." Denmark responded.
"Finland and Iceland are up in the h'tel room. Vinland w'nt to bed." Sweden stated.
"You tell Fin that Norge having an episode?" Denmark asked.
"No. H' needs rest too. H' t'lked to England tod'y." Sweden said.
"England survive?" Denmark wondered.
"Yes." Was all Sweden said.
"I wish he hadn't." Denmark hugged the shaking Norway closer.
"Me too." Sweden said as he nodded to the Nordic and walked out of the room. "See you up sta'rs".
Denmark breathed out an all right as he watched Norway shutter at his own memories.
