Like a lot of people, Iceland didn't like not knowing where he was. He also wasn't very fond of surprises. So when he woke up, it wouldn't be an understatement to say that he was less than thrilled about the situation. But, c'mon, who wouldn't be happy about waking up in a strange room?

'Where am I?' Iceland thought, sitting up in the bed and rubbing his eyes.

Just as that sentence finished passing through his mind, he heard a click and a creaking opening of a door.

"Ah, you're awake." Turning his head, Iceland saw Hong Kong walking calmly into the room, "Are you alright?"

"Uh, y-yeah… I'm fine but-" Iceland began, looking around the room in bewilderment, "…Where are we?"

"The nurse's office." Hong Kong replied, sitting down in the chair by Iceland's bed.

"…Why, may I ask?" Iceland enquired.

Hong Kong raised an eyebrow; giving the Icelandic a slightly quizzical look, "Because you were so tired that you could hardly stand; as well as running quite a temperature."

Iceland blinked, "I was?"

The Hong Konger nodded.

'Strange, I don't remember anything…' Iceland thought, looking down in thought.

"Wait, what time is it?" Iceland asked, looking back at his friend.

Pushing back his sleeve, Hong Kong checked his watch, "It is…4:35."

Iceland's eye widen, "…What?"

"It's 4:35." Hong Kong repeated, looking at his watch, "Ah. 4:36 now…"

"I missed the entire day of school?!" Iceland asked/exclaimed.

The Asian shrugged, "In your defence, it was a short day…"

Iceland sighed; face palming himself, "Just perfect…!"

Hong Kong paused, "…Is it that bad?"

"Huh…?" The Icelandic looked up, waiting for the other boy to continue.

"Are you so worried about not attending class?"

Iceland blinked, "No…not really."

"Is it the teachers?"

"…No."

Hong Kong tilted his head, swiping his long chocolate bangs out of his dark brown eyes; making Iceland blush and look down at his hands.

"Then why?" Hong Kong asked.

"I-I'm just thinking it seems pointless." Iceland said, trying to focus on something besides Hong Kong's face, "Walking all the way to school just to end up sleeping in the nurse's office; I could've just stayed home."

The boy nodded, "That's understandable. I thought you were worried about homework or something."

Iceland raised an eyebrow, "Should I be?"

Hong Kong closed his eyes and shook his head, "No, we didn't get any homework today, just wrote a few notes."

"Oh…that's good." Iceland replied absentmindedly, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

Hong Kong smiled a little at this, "I'll lend you my notebook later but for now, go back to sleep."

Iceland paused for a moment before nodding and lying back in the bed, snuggling deeper into the warm covers.

'Might as well, I am tired…'

After Iceland's nap, the two boys started walking to the Newspaper club. With a little wobble in his step, Iceland proceeded to softly rub his eyes.

"Are you okay?" Hong Kong asked, leaning forward to get a clearer view of the Icelandic's face.

"Yeah, I feel fine actually." Iceland said, rubbing his eyes one last time and blinking his vision clear, "It's just takes a while transitioning from in bed to walking, that's all." He turned and gave Hong Kong a smile, "I'm fine, really. But thank you for your concern."

Hong Kong blinked as a light pink blush spread across his face, "N-No problem…" he stuttered back, looking to the side.

"Iceland."

The two turned to see Norway, standing in front of the club room that was further ahead.

"Well, I guess it's time for me to go now." Iceland said, turning back to the Hong Konger.

He nodded then reached into his bag and pulled out a notebook, "Here, the notes I promised."

The Icelandic smiled softly and took it, "Thanks. And thank you for everything you've done today."

Hong Kong slowly returned said smile, small pink blush still adorning his cheeks, "You're welcome. I'll…I'll see you tomorrow."

Iceland nodded, "Until tomorrow. Good bye." Giving a small wave, he turned and walked towards Norway.

"Ready?" Norway asked, a small smirk present on his lips.

Iceland ignored this and responded back casually, "Yeah."

They started walking down the hallway, away from Hong Kong.

"I told you~" Norway softly sing-songed in monotone, a spark of victory clear in his dark blue eyes, "I said you overthink things too much, didn't I?"

The Icelandic looked at him and sighed in slight amusement at his brother's ability to sound childish but still mature, "Yeah, yeah…"

Not even his brother's gloating could dampen Iceland's mood, today was just a good day.

You know…despite pretty much missing the whole day. But that didn't really matter as long as Norway didn't find out. (Besides, the school would probably sooner call his government then his brother, right?)

Author notes: Sorry for the short chapter but alas, what I want to write doesn't really fit in this chapter so this will be the end for now. I'll type it up as soon as I can; hopefully before my final exams. I'll do what I can so for now and as always: Thank you for reading and reviews = love~! (Seriously guys, I fuckin' love them! ^w^)
