Iceland walked forward in the dim room towards Hong Kong, "Uh…hey?"
No response. Iceland squatted down beside the desk, looking closer to see the brunette's face. His head was down, lying on top of his folded arms. His chocolate brown bangs lay over his eyes but you could see that they were closed; his back rose and fell, letting out slow, calm breaths.
"So he's asleep, huh…?" Iceland thought, looking closer at the sleeping nation. His long black eyelashes rested against his cheeks, fluttering ever so slightly as he gently shifts in his sleep. They looked…beautiful. Iceland stepped back, trying to shake off the heat he can feel coming to his cheeks.
"What is wrong with me today?" Iceland shook his head, dismissing his thoughts, eyes settling on the empty seat next to the sleeping Hong Konger.
"Well…I always sit there so, it wouldn't be weird if I sit there now, right?" he mutters to himself. Agreeing that his logic deemed fit, Iceland continued to put his bag on the table and take his place. Giving the brunette one last glance, Iceland started staring out the window.
The scenery outside was nothing special; just a few trees lining one of the many paths leading to the front entrance. A few students walking in groups passed by, chatting as they made their slow journey towards school. Iceland found a couple of familiar faces in the people passing by but his focus was more on their feet. Iceland watched dreamily as the student's feet stepped over the brown, dead leaves; it was almost hypnotic. Though the glass didn't let in any more than the ghostly sound of the soft wind outside; the Nordic could hear the audible crunch of the leaves below. He watched somewhat absentmindedly as the leaves crushed beneath their feet and turned into a powdery brown dust, simply disappearing into the blowing wind…
But when Iceland heard Hong Kong shift again, he was broken from his trance. Looking back, Iceland saw his dark brown eyes flicker open. Hong Kong lazily lifted his head, raising his hand to rub sleep out of his foggy eyes. Hong Kong blinked a few times, clearing his vision before his eyes settled on the Icelandic beside him.
"Oh, Iceland…" Hong Kong mumbled, giving a small yawn, "Good morning…"
"Good morning."
"How long have you been here?" Hong Kong asked, absentmindedly combing his fingers through his bangs.
Iceland shrugged, "About five minutes…" He checked his watch, 3 minutes left until class starts.
Hong Kong nodded along, "Oh, okay…"
"So how was your nap?" Iceland asked, monotone.
"It was fine… I'm still tired though…"
Iceland could only sigh, face down at his desk, "Yeah, me too…"
Hong Kong unsteadily leaned his face on his hand, "I take it you're not a morning person, huh?"
Iceland turned his head, looking at Hong Kong dully, "I could say the same thing about you…"
Iceland could see a faint smirk grace Hong Kong's lips before he buried his face in his arms, mumbling into his sleeves, "Indeed…"
Iceland couldn't help smile a bit at this. Maybe today wasn't going to be as bad as he thought.
After a few minutes, the class started to fill out. At the very last minute, just before the bell rang, the Biology teacher rushed into the classroom with a messy stack of books in hand. In such a rush that he accidentally slammed the door shut, sending a ringing through the class. Everyone looked up, oddly sending the teacher into a panic, apologizing about being late. After that, everything returned to normal. Students took their seats and the class began. The class went pretty easy; the teacher explained a few things, wrote some stuff on the board and handed out an assignment. Once Iceland finished copying down what was on the board, he looked over the paper the teacher handed out. There were about 10 questions and Iceland figured after a few minutes of searching in his textbook, he could answer them simply enough. Too bad he didn't have the will to…
The teacher started to go through the questions with the class and that's when Iceland decided to zone out. Usually, Iceland would just start out the window or look around the classroom. But as of late, Iceland has been focusing his attention on something…else.
He turns his head to the teen beside, scribing in his notebook. Yes, this boy has been the thing Iceland's been staring at for the last few months. He hasn't been intentionally staring at him; his eyes just seem to…shift towards the Asian nation. But Iceland was inno way "checking Hong Kong out"…! No, no definitely not! Hong Kong just caught his eye so…it couldn't be helped.
"Yeah…it can't be helped…"
Hanging his head in shame, Iceland just gave up. Whatever the reason, it definitely didn't need to be solved today. No reason why it couldn't be saved for another day, right? The problem right now is that the person Iceland usually stares at is sitting right next to him!
You ever got stared at by someone sitting right next to you? It's fucking creepy! Yet there he was, watching Hong Kong from the corner of his eye. He knew it was weird and stalker-y but he just couldn't stop it…! But when every fibre in your being is yelling at you to turn away, that doesn't really help, does it? So at this point, the only thing to do is stand there, like a deer in headlights…
Then the bell rang, ending the teacher's lecture but keeping Iceland in his trance-like state. He watched mindlessly as students got up and gathered their things, heading towards their next class. Only when he saw Hong Kong's hand waving in front of his face, did Iceland look up. He saw Hong Kong's lips move, saying something but he couldn't hear.
"I'm sorry, what?" Iceland said, blinking once.
"I said, what's your next lesson?"
"Oh, uh…"Iceland rumbled through his pocket, pulling out his schedule and take a look at it, "…Chemistry. You?" he replied look up.
"I have Physics."
"Oh." Iceland could feel a wave of sadness wash over him, looking down, mumbling, "Too bad…"
"No worries." Hong Kong replied, swinging the strap of his message bag over his shoulder, "I'll see you later, okay?" Iceland could help but feel a little fluttering (or whatever you call it) in his chest, looking back up with a surprised look on his face.
"Uh… yeah."
Hong Kong nodded and gave the Nordic a small smile before turning to walk towards the door. Iceland just sat there in awe as he watched the Asian nation walked out the room, giving him one last glance and a small wave from over his shoulder.
Iceland sat there for a minute before realising he had to go to class. Quickly putting his books in his bag, he briefly wonders why suddenly there's an empty feeling in the room before hurrying off to class.
