Day Four: On a Date
Out of everything I could have picked, I decided to spend the day with the moron. What made me choose that, I'll never know. 'You know exactly why.' I frowned slightly at the thought, there was no way that was possible.
"Norway? You alright?" Said moron asked, looking over at me curiously.
"Fine. Why?" I responded, looking forward towards where we were going.
"You were frowning just before, that's all." Why did he have to notice the little changes in my expressions like that? It always made my stomach feel strange and fluttery.
"I'm fine." I repeated, still staring ahead. "Where are we going anyway?"
"You'll see!" He replied, taking my hand before dragging me away from my thoughts and towards a park. I could hear him rambling on about how much fun it would be and what we could do, however all I could concentrate on was the heat from his hand around my own. The feeling made my stomach flip in the oddest way and I was fairly sure I was slightly blushing.
'Ignore it and it'll go away.' I thought as I snatched my hand away from Denmark's. Ignoring his questioning gaze, I climbed up to the highest point of the playground and sat there. 'Why are we at a park again..?' I thought as I watched the children in the area playing with their friends, eating with their parents or throwing a tantrum because they didn't want to leave.
I sighed as I leant back against the post. Sometimes I wondered what it would like to be a normal human, not that I minded being a nation, but sometimes it felt...lonely. We don't age at all once we become adults so there wasn't a lot of a point in looking for someone, only to have to watch them grow old and eventually die while you stayed young forever. Sure enough there were the other nations, but it was very rare to find one you could spend the rest of your ridiculously long life with.
"Norway? Are you alright?" The sudden voice startled me out of my thoughts. I turned to glare at the owner but paused when I saw the look on Denmark's face. He didn't look overly excited or happy like he usually did, instead he looked calm and even somewhat careful.
"I'm fine." I said, trying to keep my voice level despite being slightly startled.
"Are you sure? You look a little sad..." Even his voice sounded calm, it even held a slight hint of worry. I just sighed and stared straight forwards again. There was a slight pause from beside me before I heard clothes shifting beside me and a grunt as Denmark sat next to me. "You pick the most awkward places to sit." He told me, smiling slightly, however his voice still held the same hint of worry from earlier.
I just shrugged and ignored his question, "I never asked you to sit here with me." I said through the slight lump in my throat, he was too close now. I unsuccessfully tried to swallow the lump, not liking how the closeness made me feel.
"Yeah, but you never told me not to." He teased, wrapping an arm around me and pulling me to lean slightly on him.
I froze. 'Why is he doing this?!' I thought frantically to myself. I knew it wasn't rare that he would randomly pull me into a tight bear hug and refuse to let go - especially when I was on my way to my room to read. However, I couldn't remember a time when he'd pull me close to him like this. Ever so slowly, I unfroze and allowed myself to lean into his embrace.
"There's something I wanna tell you, but you have to promise not to hit me." Denmark started, looking straight forward towards where the sun was now setting. When I didn't say anything he continued, obviously taking my silence as agreement. "Well, I guess I wanted to tell you that...I uhh..." He paused for a minute as if to collect his thoughts.
'He can't be about to say what I think he is, right?!' I thought, trying my hardest not to get my hopes up. There were plenty of other things he could continue on saying... 'Things like what?' It was only then I realised that I was holding my breath. Letting the breath I'd been holding out in one slow go, I waited as Denmark opened and closed his mouth a couple times without saying anything, reminding me of a fish.
"I..." He paused again before taking in a deep breath, by now we were both staring straight towards the slowly sinking sun, I could feel the nervousness radiating off of him. "I love you, Nor. Always have, always will." He eventually managed to get out.
I sat somewhat cuddled up to him in shock. There was no way he'd just said that, it wasn't possible.

So this is my first time writing as Norway xD I think it was a success? I dunno xD I'm a Denmark role player so it was kinda hard to write like this xD Does this count as a date though? xD P.S. It only goes on for so long at the end because I was having trouble writing the words 'I love you' ._. xD
