BigBrotherDenmarkXIceland -- Shut Up For Once!

          This one is pretty short. Sorry bout that. Anyways, I wasn't exactly able to write on the plain as I had planned. The flights to Mas were to small and so was the first one back. The last one had plenty of room but the guy in the seat in front of mean leaned his seat back so that was a no go. I'll be working on them for the next few days though and try to get them out quickly for you all!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           The Nordics sat around their dining room table playing a card game. They always did something like that on Sunday nights, family bonding was how Finland put it.

           At this point they were playing go fish, and it was getting later in the evening. Iceland sat blankly staring at his hand of cards. Game night wasn't a particular favorite of his.

           "Hey, Ice, you listenin'?" Denmark waved his hand in front of his face. He looked over to him.

          "No. I really didn't even want to play tonight, so why would I?" His dry reply didn't faze the cheeky Dane though.

           "Well, it's you turn!" Iceland rolled his eyes and looked back at his cards. Three clubs and two hearts.

          "Fine. Anyone have any clubs?" He groaned when they said no and reached for the pile. "Oh, hey, it's me." He mumbled half to himself when he pulled out and ace. The table grew silent afterwards and Iceland's face heated up when he realized he'd said it loud enough for them to hear.

           Finland tilted his head at him curiously while Sweden and Norway looked at him, stoic as ever. Denmark was starting to grin widely. He gulped and started to get up. "I-I uh, I think I'm going to go to bed."

           "Wait, Iceland, did I hear you right?" Finland asked. Iceland shook his head and started backing away.

          "I don't think so. Good night!"

           "So, you're Asexual? That is nice." Sweden grunted. Iceland's face grew red as his heart beat faster in his chest. He started to stammer, trying to make excuses. He hadn't meant for it to slip out. He'd never meant to ever tell them. It wasn't because of Finland and Sweden, or even his brother. It was because of Denmark. He knew he'd make fun of him in some way, just because he thought his reactions were funny.

          Denmark grinned, a chuckle escaping him. "So, I can call you Aceland now then?"

           "No!" Iceland growled. That didn't deter him. The smaller country started backing father away from the table.

          "Aww come on Acey, let's finish the game!" Denmark continued to joke. Iceland clenched his fists and closed his eyes, trying to stay calm.

          Norway saw Iceland quickly approach his breaking point and stood up. "Denmark, stop."

          "Ja, it's not funny!" Finland added, seeing Iceland's distress. The Dane didn't realize that it was that much of an issue so he just patted Iceland's shoulder.

           "Oh come on guys! I'm just messing with Aceland!"

           Iceland felt tears stinging his eyes. He couldn't take it anymore. "STOP IT! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Denmark and the others startled when he yelled. Iceland had never yelled at any of them before. "EVERYTHING IS NOT JUST A JOKE! IT IS NOT FUNNY!! THIS IS BEING THE REASON I DID NOT TELL YOU!!" He turned away and bolted out of the room and upstairs. The other Nordics stood in silence after wards. Norway growled a bit and grabbed Denmark's tie, choking him.

           Neither Sweden nor Finland made a move to stop him this time. When Denmark's face had turned blue Norway released him and glared. "That wasn't funny, Den."

          Finland nodded. "Ja, why'd you have to do that t Iceland? Not cool. Right Sve?" Sweden nodded with a grunt.

           "Hey, I didn't know it was-"

           "How would someone's sexuality not be a sensitive subject?" Norway interjected. "You need to apologize." Denmark sighed and nodded. He slowly made his way up the stairs to Iceland's room. He stopped when reaching for the handle. Iceland's sobs were very clear through the door and Denmark's heart sank. Taking a deep breath he opened the door.

           "G-go away! I don't want to talk to anyone!" Iceland cried, burying his face in his pillow. Seeing his little brother like this broke Denmark's heart, especially when it was his fault. He sat down on the edge of the bed and ran his fingers through Iceland's platinum blond hair. He used to do this when he was little and had nightmares. Iceland stiffened at his touch. "Get. Out. Now!" he growled through the pillow.

           "No. Iceland, please-"

           The smaller country whirled up into a sitting position. His purple eyes were already blood shot and more tears were already falling from his eyes. "I SAID, GET OUT!" He screamed in his face. Iceland's shoulders were shaking and he clenched his fist, glaring at Denmark. Denmark couldn't bear it and pulled him into a bear hug. Iceland slapped at his chest. "L-LET GO!" Denmark just held him closer.

          "No, Iceland please, I'm so sorry!" he begged.

           "No you aren't! Everything is a joke to you! Everything!"

           "That's not true!"

          "Y-yes it is! You always find a way to tease me and, and you couldn't stop and think! Think that maybe just this once you should be keeping that big mouth of yours shut!" Iceland wailed. "I didn't tell anyone because of you!" Denmark's grip on his little brother slackened and Iceland pulled away. He stared at him, dumbfounded. How long had he been keeping this a secret? And how many other thing was he keeping hidden, just because of him?

           "I-I didn't know..."

           "You never do..." Denmark looked away from Iceland, slowly getting off the bed.

          Taking in a shaky breath Denmark rubbed his forehead. "I...I'm sorry. Iceland, I didn't mean to hurt you so much. I'd say I'll try and be a better big brother but... Maybe, for your sake, I should just leave you alone." Grabbing the door knob Denmark looked down at his feet. "But, I want ya to know. I do love you, and I'll be there for you if you ever need me."
