I'm posting this a day early because I'm going camping this weekend and wouldn't have internet access.

FinIta: Christmas List

Finland sighed, happy that the meeting was over for the day and they could leave. He stood to leave with the rest of the Nordics, and he happily hummed a merry Christmas tune, placing his hand in his pocket…

Only to feel that something was missing.

His eyes widened, and he searched for the folded piece of paper, and he cursed lightly when he realised that it must have fallen out of his pocket.

"What's wrong?" Denmark asked, noticing the curse.

"It's nothing," Finland said, already turning around. "I just dropped something. See you guys later."

They nodded and continued on.

Finland ducked back into the mostly empty meeting room when he suddenly collided with a fast body that was going the opposite way.

"Ve, I'm so sorry, please don't hurt me."

Okay, so the other person was Italy.

"It's fine," Finland said. "I'm the one that should have been watching where I was going."

Italy looked relieved, and he smiled his bright smile. The two stood together.

"So, why'd you come back?" Italy asked. "Did you forget something?"

"Joo," Finland said. "I just need to get it."

"Ve, I'll help you."

Finland chuckled, and the two walked together, Italy babbling about anything, and Finland politely listened to the Italian, but it was tricky when the Mediterranean nation changed topics faster than he could run.

Finally they reached Finland's seat and he bent down to pick up the paper that he had dropped. He opened it to make sure that it was his paper and Italy paused, looking at the paper.

"Ve, is that my note to Santa?" Italy asked.

"Joo, it is," Finland said, putting the note back in his pocket. "I act as Santa to the countries, remember?"

Italy started to blush, and Finland chuckled.

"Ve, you probably think I'm stupid for writing a note so early, right?" Italy asked.

"It's never too early to be excited for Christmas," Finland said.

Italy's smile returned, and the two of them walked out of the meeting room, talking about Italy's Christmas list, and asking Finland about his own, which only the other Nordics ever asked him about.

There was one thing on Italy's list that Finland didn't quite understand, and when he asked about it, Italy blushed and changed the subject, leading Finland to wonder what it could possibly be.

Alright, so the prompt was 'They literally bump into each other and start talking.' And when I ended with this pairing, the whole Christmas thing came up, because let's face it, Italy's the type that would write a note to Santa, even months before Christmas.

And the poll will be up until Monday, so remember to vote.
