Ladonia watched Sealand packing their bags while humming to himself and Ladonia stared down at his three month bump which wasn't anything to gawk at yet but he couldn't stop his gaze from being riveted to the sight of the tiny but defined bump that stuck out between his hips. When he was alone he found his fingers riveted to the small bump, brushing across it and cupping his palm against it softly during those hours he spent alone. He laid out on the bed watching the blonde happily folding shirts and pants before laying them in the suitcase with designated sides for his clothes and Ladonia's clothing. That was how they would split four trunks. Two with their clothing then two for their soaps and toothbrush along with underwear which worked quite beautifully as this allowed for Sealand to do something with not only his mind but his hands as well. Finland had kicked up a fuss when he found out that the two of them wanted to go and visit England but he ultimately knew that he couldn't stop the two teens from going to visit Sealands brother. Ladonia knew they weren't going to be staying there for weeks upon weeks but he also knew that they would be staying a decent bit of time to give Finland the space he needed to consider whether he wanted the boys to stay there or to go to Ladonia's home. That was the real situation lately. When Finland had come out and announced his second pregnancy, Ladonia had suggested that he and Sealand go away for a while so that Finland could consider some options. While Ladonia didn't have money it was clear that even if they did move out that the Nation would need to find an income and fast for the teen wasn't able to touch his funds yet but he was trying like hell to get to his funds. That's when Sealand suggested going to see his brother.
Ladonia had never met Sealand's older brother, England, before but there was some strange sense of excitement that came with the thought of meeting someone so precious to Sealand somehow and then there was making a good impression on him after all. All he knew so far is that England was pregnant by six months and he somehow was very accepting of the thought that Ladonia was pregnant but he also was willing to let the two of them come to visit him. He seemed rather accepting of their relationship, something that Finland hadn't expressed so far, but the red head figured that this would be the change that they needed in order for Finland to come around and decide just what to do to help. Ladonia blinked himself out of his thoughts as he looked at the blonde who was lightly dancing on the tips of his toes while he hummed some nonsense song. It was a surprise to many but Ladonia didn't care who knew about his feelings for the Sealander. For years he had been posing as someone who hated the blonde, despised and was cruel to him but that couldn't have been farther from the truth. Ladonia wouldn't say he fell in love with Sealand the moment he saw him but he had felt a connection that sparked itself to life between them and Ladonia had been frustrated by that spark that he'd felt so he often would take it out on the Sealander. He never imagined that he'd finally give in to that spark and never thought he'd be the one to be pregnant. He was in the body of a teenager despite his age and while Sealand was in the same boat of being much older than his body the two of them were far from clueless on what to do for the baby but with Sweden's support they just had to be grateful that someone would help them.
It wasn't that Finland refused to help them, it was more like he was having a hard time wrapping his mind around this new and sudden change but Ladonia couldn't help but wish that they didn't have to go away just for the Finnish man to wrap it around his mind. Ladonia felt his stomach twist lightly as if it once again wanted food but also threatened that if he ate the wrong thing it would just come back up the way it went down. It was frustrating, this pregnancy. He thought after three months that the morning sickness would stop but it seemed that it was clinging extra fiercely to Ladonia. He sighed throuhg his nose when he pushed himself up into a sitting position and swung his legs over the side of the bed causing the happy hums to pause."Peter, do you mind getting me something to eat?"
It was clear to see that the Sealander was happy to be of more help if the way those sky blue eyes of his sparkled delightfully. "Of course! What would you like? A little meal? Something sweet? Something sour?" He popped off his questions like he was an excitable young child again trying to make Ladonia like him and nothing like a father-to-be should sound but Ladonia wasn't going to say anything about it. It was just who Sealand was at this point and Ladonia wasn't going to bitch at him about it. There was no need to do so and as Ladonia pressed a hand against his snarling stomach he bit his bottom lip for a moment as he considered just what it was that he wanted. Nothing sounded good but there was somethings that sounded absolutely divine and yet he was shy about voicing what he wanted to the Sealander. "Come on, Erland. Whatever it is I'm sure it'll be fine! I'll get it to you if it's available!"
"I want some cookies and salsa." Ladonia got out in a shy manner as his fingers twisted together against his snarling stomach and the Sealander blinked those wide, bright eyes at Ladonia and the red head felt his face beginning to flush a brilliant red. "Don't look at me like that! Just go get it!" He lifted his hands from his stomach to make a shooing motion that had the blonde laughing as he then turned walking out the open bedroom door with a swiftness he didn't know the Sealander possessed. It was quite nice to be alone for just a few moments as he looked over at the two suitcases that sat shut and ready to go while two remained open on the bed filled with their soaps and toothbrushes.
He stood up grabbing their hair brushes then walking to the suitcase tucking them away amongst the underwear and he then began fussing with the underwear and it's positioning right down to the way it was folded even going as far as to unfold them then refold them again. Ladonia found his fingers were quick with folding the fabric and settling them nicely in the traveling bag and he then made sure that each had their shampoo, their conditioner and then their toothbrushes along with their toothpaste. Something was just telling him to go over everything that way it would be neat and tidy by the time they got to England's and he wouldn't think them slobs or something of the sort. When he was satisfied by the neatness of the case he made his way back to the bed just in time to hear happy feet trotting down the hallway and Sealand swung into view with a jar of salsa in one hand and a bowl of cookies within the other. He smiled brilliantly as he walked into the room handing Ladonia hsi bowl of cookies and the jar of salsa. Popping the top off Ladonia crossed his legs in a criss-cross position and he dipped his first cookie into the car and scooping out a generous amount of salsa on the cookie then popping it into his mouth with a quiet little moan. He chewed vigorously enjoying the taste as he watched Sealand begin to fold the underwear that he had in the pile next to the suitcase and begin folding them then pressing them down firmly into the case while he began humming once again. There was something relaxing about the humming, something that soothed the Ladonian Nation as he shoveled another salsa covered cookie into his mouth and watched as the top of the suitcase came down and he began pulling the zipper around the edges of the case.
"There we go! Now we're all ready to go to England's! Our flight is first thing in the morning so we should probably get some sleep tonight, right?" Sealand turned to Ladonia while tipping his head to the side and the red head felt his face flush at just how much of a puppy Sealand seemed like. It was rather adorable. He sighed softly as he plucked another cookie out of the bowl offering it out ot Sealand who cheered and bounced forward accepting the cookie and popping it into his mouth where he happily crunched into the cookie. It was quiet save for the sound of breathing and the crunching but once his mouth was free Sealand approached the edge of the bed that Ladonia was sitting on in order to gawk at the sight of a salsa covered cookie finding it's way into Ladonia's mouth. "Do you think that you'll have more cravings the further you get into your pregnancy? Or do you think it's an early thing only?"
"I have no clue!" Ladonia snapped but then regretted when he saw the flinch that moved over his lover and he found himself taking a deep breath throuhg his nose before speaking again after he had cleared his mouth. "Look, until we get to your brother's place how about you chill on the pregnancy questions. I have no clue what's going to happen and when it's going to happen so why don't we just wait until we're with your brother and he can answer all of our questions? That'll be way easier on all of us since he is more experienced and Finland isn't really talking about it too much." Ladonia scowled down at his lap as he spoke but the blonde joined him on the bed, plopping down causing the bowl and cookies to bounce softly along with Ladonia and he raised his scowl to aim at the blonde but found those wide, sky blue eyes looking at him rather earnestly did he sigh. "It's not like I can just go to the library and check out books on pregnancy. There's only so much attention we can call to ourselves and it would be weird if a teen boy was checking out books on pregnancy."
"Hmmmm true. I sure do hope England has the answers we're looking for. Maybe we'll be able to stay there for a month or two! It'll be nice to be away from Ma-I mean Finland." He smiled sheepishly at his near slip up but reached out cupping Ladonia's cheek making the red head jump at the casual touch of those fingers against his cheek and a blush rushed up to his cheeks in response. "Look at you, blushing so easily." Sealand felt a pink blush in his cheeks but the sight of the delicate blush decorating his cheeks was simply-" Beautiful. You're so beautiful, Erland. I don't know how I never noticed it before now. You're so beautiful."
"Sh-Shut up!" Ladonia stuttered over the words when he noticed Sealand leaning in closer, coming in slowly as if he were a horse that was easily spooked, and he felt his face burn hotly at the thought of the other Nation being so cautious of him. He swallowed reflexively, nervously, and found his eyes widening when lips pressed against his cheek rather than his lips as he was expecting and he felt his heart thump unevenly in his chest as he twisted his head slightly to look at the Sealander but found there was a strain to his eyes due to the other being so damn close to him. It was easy to lose himself in those sky blue eyes. So easy to dive into the clear depths.
His lips parted slightly with a quiet, trembling breath as he met those eyes as evenly as he could and he found his lashes fluttering to a shut and his head tipping forward allowing for the Sealander to lean in. He could have sang when those lips pressed hesitantly, warmly, against his own and his hands reached up to grip at hi sshoulders as their lips moved slowly and lightly against one anothers as if they had to be cautious. Had to be careful in how they proceeded. Ladonia forgot all about his snacking in that moment as he leaned forward curling his arms around Sealand's shoulders and his fingers finding the ends of his hair against his neck which he played with as their lips moved slowly and warmly against one anothers. It was so easy to lose himself in kissing Sealand, not that they were experienced lovers so far, but there was something so easy in kissing the Sealander that Ladonia wondered why he'd never done it before. Yes, they had been clumsy during that first kiss of theirs but it felt strangely like they had been liberated since then and were finding their rhythm, their pace, in which they kissed one another and Ladonia adored it. He moved one hand from Sealand's neck, pulling back slightly and feeling pleasure to feel the Sealander chasing after him. as he placed the jar of salsa on the bed side table and leaned backwards so he flopped onto his back pulling the Sealander with him. Sealand let out a sound of approval as he leaned carefully over the pregnant Ladonian and pressed his lips eagerly, fiercely against Ladonia's and the redhead happily replied to the kiss as he moved his free hand up along his shoulder before joining it's twin in the locks of blonde hair.
He was twisting his fingers delightfully into those locks when there came the sound of a throat clearing from the doorway. Both teens groaned quietly to one another before separating and fixing their clothing despite having not touched them and then turned to the bedroom door as Ladonia sat up awkwardly due to his position. Finland raised a single blonde brow as he crossed his arms over his chest and the two teens had an identical, scalding blush on their cheeks as they looked down at the floor and Ladonia had to admit that he felt a small stab of resentment. He wished Finland didn't come bothering them and he wished that they could just be as any other teenage couple but that clearly wasn't possible with the watchful eyes on them at what seemed to be all of the time. Ladonia, at three months pregnant, was far testier than the three month pregnant Finland and it was known amongst the parents that the Ladonian wouldn't hesitate to snap or shout at the other two men if they got on his bad side. Finland cleared his throat again as if clearing Ladonia's head of these thoughts and began to speak. "I know the two of you are visiting England but I want you to know that just because you're leaving here it doesn't mean it's an all season pass for having sex. There are RULES-"
"We get it. No touching, no canoodling, no kissing and no having sex. Anything else that you want to dictate us on?" Ladonia questioned in scathing tones that made those violet eyes narrow on him for a brief moment before looking away from the red head who was glaring boldly at the Nation before him. There was something absolutely annoying, even smothering, about the way that the Finnish Nation thought he could tell them what to do and that would be that but the Laonian Nation wanted to put a stop to it right here and now. "You know, you can't keep telling us what to do. We're grown Nations and we can very easily demand out independence. We want to be a couple so why can't you just accept that by now? Because of you we have to leave here and go all the damn way to England's! Is there seriously something so wrong with two people wanting to be together? Is it sickening to you somehow? Is it wrong that I want to be with Sealand?"
"You need to watch your language and the way you speak to me, young man!" Finland immediately shouted back as he looked at the haughty redhead who was glaring at him defiantly with those blue eyes narrowed into slits and Finland tensed up himself. "You decided to go to England's on your own! It has nothing to do with me and I'd rather you didn't blame me for it! Now I'd lose the attitude of yours! You don't want to leave behind bad memories do you?" Finland seemed to be grasping at straws but Ladonia refused to back down as he looked at the Finnish Nations. "My goodness that attitude! You'd think that one would grow out of it! But instead you've done nothing but become harder to deal with!"
"Of course I did! I'm a teenager!" Ladonia shouted back hopping off the bed he threw his arms open as he looked at the Finnish Nation who tensed his shoulders and the sight of the Finnish Nation refusing to back down had the Ladonian Nation burning hotly with outrage. "You know, maybe it's a good fucking thing that we're leaving! I can't stand one more minute under this roof! Maybe we'll just go to my place rather than come back here! Because goddammit do I hate it here!" He screamed the words at Finland who flinched under the sharp whip of the words that landed on him like blows being registered. It made Ladonia flinch himself but he'd been holding it in forever now! Ever since he had found out he was pregnant and they'd told Finland it had been absolutely insufferable around here! What else was he to do? How could he keep bottling it up? "At least England accepts my baby. It's clear what you think about it."
"Can we stop?" Sealand asked quietly as he looked from the Finnish Nation to the Ladonian one and felt his face growing pale rather than hot for once when he then knotted his fingers together as he turned to Ladonia. There was a pleading expression in his face, shimmering in his large sky blue eyes. "Look, Mama, this is why we're leaving. Things are just too tense between you and Ladonia. We're going to give you the space that you deserve and you can choose whether you want us back or not. It's as simple as that but you can't expect us not to be together like a couple. That's unfair of you to expect of us." He then turned to Finland with hesitation written in his face as he considered his next words and looked down at his knotted hands. "I really want you to consider whether you want us back here or not, Mama. Okay?"
"Of course I want the two of you back here. I just-"
"You just wish we weren't together." Ladonia inserted with a scathing tone to his voice as his blue eyes turned icy and narrowed into slits and Sealand shot him a warning look but the redhead purposefully ignored it as he turned away from Finland. It hurt, for some reason, that the Finnish man was acting this way and while he couldn't voice these feelings aloud without them being garbled have worded sentences he wanted nothing more than for the Finnish Nation to understand. He shifted on the bed reaching for a cookie crunching into it wordlessly as the Finnish Nation looked in surprise from teen to teen. Then came the most surprising situation of all. Tears began welling in those wide violet eyes and with the wordless image of anguish rising in those eyes, the Finnish man spun on his heel rushing from the room leaving Ladonia and Sealand alone.
"Nice, Erland. Nice." Sealand rubbed his temples then as he looked to Ladonia who nearly choked on his cookie and looked at Sealand with wide eyes which the Sealander scowled at. There was something about the usually cheerful Sealand scowling that really made Ladonia aware of his screw up. Was it a screw up? "You could have been nicer to Mama. There's a choice with everything and you don't have to be so mean to Mama even though he's being unfair to the two of us. Now Papa is going to be angry at the moment because you made Mama cry!" He sighed heavily then before turning to Ladonia again with a strange relief to his sky blue eyes. "Thank god we're leaving tomorrow. Just...thank god."
