Chapter Eight- In Which Finland Makes a Promise
Finland opened his door, and was sucked into a psychadelic world. A mix between dark and bright, happy and tough, colours that conveyed emotions. Confusion over who Finland was- but love all the same.
Then, Norway's voice. "Finland. You're one of the kindest, most amazing people I know. Do you remember when Sverige brought me home?"
Finland nodded. "ei! You were so scared. And hurt, and you just needed a friend."
"That was you. And I know it wasn't the best time of Sverige's life but you helped me ride it out. Or, at least, learn how. It's an act I can never repay."
"How did Ruotsi fare after I left?" Finland asked quietly. "Neither of you talk about it-"
"He was mad. Not at me, but at Russia and at himself. But he certainly took it out on me. If I so much as mentioned you, or Danmark, or Island, I would be locked away in the basement. Forgotten, sometimes."
Finland paled. "I'm sorry-"
"Wasn't your fault. Was mine, I guess, for trying to talk to him. Even though you three were the only things I had to talk about."
Norway sighed. "But this isn't about him right now, Fin, it's about you. You hold us together and keep us together. You are that nagging force making us awkward brothers get together and actually act like we enjoy it. We usually do, anyway, no matter what we say, but that's beside the point. Finland, I hope you know that our awkward little Nordic family would go to hell in a handbasket without you."
Finland's jaw dropped. "U-Uh..." he was sincerely flattered, and he knew that he had only brushed the surface of the purest love Norway had for his family. He knew that he certainly wasn't Norway's favorite, but he had a good portion of the Norwegian's affection, and that was something to be proud of.
"Kiitos, Norja."
"We'd be lost without you, Fin." Norway responded truthfully. "And it's ok to be tough on us, you know. We're stubborn and I know you can whip this messed-up family into shape if you try. Threats might be obligatory. Can you do that for me?"
Finland smiled. "Of course."
"Tusen takk, lillebror Fin."
A/N:
qeodljfg;pojfp;o I AM SO SORRYYYY. ;-; I had some writer's block but I wanted to do Finland's chapter as it's probably the least interesting. Sorry, Finland. You have other moments, but this is not one of them.
Norway sees Finland as a little brother even if Sweden doesn't...either way, he's still family.
short chapter is short short short short. *emo corner*
This is just to tide you over until the more interesting stuff, I am so sorryyyy!
Review this crappy filler chapter,
Toni
