Chapter eleven: Nothing Like a Blizzard to Warm the Heart
It had been several weeks since Finland began living in Sweden's house with its owner. During these days, Finland would spend his time helping Sweden when he could and simply looking around the house. The land that the house was on was the same land where Sweden and Finland had originally built their house after leaving Denmark and Norway, and due to this every nook and cranny of the house reminded Finland of those long past years.
Sometimes this would get to the point where Finland would be so engrossed with what he was remembering that Sweden would need to go out and find him. Every time this happened he would begin to worry that his 'wife' was lost, hurt, or worse; only to then relax after finding him unharmed. Then after finding him, Sweden would ask Finland what he remembered, only to then listen to him explain what he remembered while sometimes helping Finland piece it together with some parts that escaped him.
Due to most people not seeing Finland in the better part of a year, many of the other nations were curious as to how he was doing. This led to several of the other nations who felt obliged to visit with him coming and seeing for themselves how many of the rumors were true. Like when Finland had reunited with the other Nordics and Estonia, he was a little wary of them. After some time however, they would usually be able to convince him that it was alright to meet them. This was then sometimes made easier or harder depending on if Finland remembered something about the guest.
One night Finland asked if they could see his house. After pausing for a moment, Sweden agreed to this for tomorrow and the two of them went to bed. The next morning, Finland awoke early filled with excitement to go someplace different for the day and got dressed. Once dressed he rushed downstairs with Hanatamago on his heels and opened the door to find the yard and driveway covered in several feet of snow with more coming down.
Sweden walked down the stairs to see what Finland was looking at and saw the snow. At last he mumbled out, "Fre'k blizz'rd. We ai'nt go'n anywh're in th's."
He then looked over to see what Finland was thinking, only to see the once again usually bubbly face frown out of disappointment. Upon seeing this, Sweden said, "Th's storm won't last f'rever. We c'n go an'ther day."
Finland nodded slowly and walked back into the house. Once inside, the two of them had breakfast and Sweden asked Finland what he wanted to do instead. To this Finland sipped his hot chocolate and replied, "I don't know, I already saw everything there is inside…can we still do stuff outside?"
Sweden thought about it for a moment before saying they could still do some things outside. With this the two of them finished their breakfast and got their jackets and other winter clothes on before going outside. Once outside, Sweden said that he wanted to get at least some of the snow out of the driveway before grabbing a snow shovel. Finland followed him with a shovel of his own for a while, but within an hour he had become bored of this and noticed a bit of snow near him barking.
Looking down at the snow pile, Finland noticed that Hanatamago had been covered by the last shovel full of snow and was wiggling free. When Finland saw this, he decided that it was time for a break and jump into a nearby snow pile. Once in the snow, the little dog jumped on her owner, causing Finland to begin laughing.
Upon hearing the commotion, Sweden turned towards them and stared at the two of them playing. He then shook his head with a smile and continued with the drive way. Moments later, he ended up stopping however when Finland playfully threw a snowball at his shoulder. When he looked back at the two of them, he noticed the quick change from Finland's happy face to that of worry. At last Finland stumbled out, "D-do you want to play with us?"
To this Sweden smirked before grabbing as much snow as his hands could hold and slowly allowed it to fall onto Finland's head. After this the two of them played outside until around noon when they were cold and hungry. Due to this they went back inside to eat and warm up, only to end up staying inside due to Finland falling asleep against Sweden's shoulder in the living room.
It was not until later that afternoon that Finland awoke, to find Sweden still there; awake and playing gently with the tuffs of hair that had grown back from after the surgery. When Finland realized this, he quickly sat up and asked how long he was asleep. To this Sweden gave him his answer and said that it was alright. The two of them then got up due to Sweden deciding to start a fire in the fireplace while Finland went to get each of them another mug of hot chocolate.
With this done, the two of them sat back down and began to enjoy the rest of their evening. That night the blizzard past, but instead of noticing it, Finland more preoccupied with noticing the strange feeling of comfort and love that seemed to grow even stronger for Sweden.
The next day the two of them were able to quickly get all of the snow out of the driveway and were off to Finland's house. There the two of them stayed for several days as Finland explored and remembered things. At last however it was time for them to leave.
As always, please review~
