Happy Birthday Hutt River!

Happy Birthday Hutt

​Hutt River had not been having a good birthday so far.

His day started with Australia breaking into his room extremely early in the morning and waking him up via a very loud air horn to the ear, successfully bursting his eardrums and startling him so much he fell out of bed, (he embarrassed himself with a loud and high-pitched shriek) ending up in a heap on the floor, tangled with his blankets. He had stared up at his brother with a glare that could kill, though it didn't do much good, as Australia was preoccupied with laughing his ass off, almost crying from how hard he was laughing. Hutt had whined and awkwardly untangled himself from the blankets and picked himself off the floor, grumbling under his breath and forcing Australia from the room.

Then, after he had spent quite a lot longer than necessary getting ready (which included taking a shower, drying off, brushing and blow-drying his hair, carefully applying mascara to his eyelashes, blush to his cheeks, and covering up any blemishes he may have, and of course- picking out an outfit) he had gotten his face smashed into the birthday cupcake(that New Zealand had baked him!) by Wy. While Hutt had screamed, Australia and Wy high-fived and poked fun at him(though Hutt was so mad and horrified he almost burst into tears), and he immediately ran to somehow clean the frosting off of him by taking another shower and repeating the process he had done earlier.

After all of that, after rushing around and worrying and spending another hour getting ready for a second time, he got rewarded with the presence of New Zealand in his room (who at least had the decency to knock before he entered, unlike Hutt's two siblings) followed by a lecture about how important it was that he move faster and get ready and make sure to pack his things, because of course, there had to be a world meeting today. Today of all days. He had to go to a world meeting on his birthday. He had to spend hours and hours on a plane on his birthday. Then New Zealand had left, leaving Hutt to fret about and pack some clothes, all of his many toiletries, and anything else.
Next, the four Oceanic nations squeezed into the government car that was to take them to the airport so they could board the plane, Australia's private jet(well, the Australian government's private jet), that would take them to Berlin, Germany, where the meeting was taking place. Hutt was smushed between Wy and Australia in the back seat, which was as uncomfortable as it sounded. He did not like it at all. There was no room for him to even move his arms and hands to get his phone out of his pocket and play a game on it. The flight itself was more enjoyable, just the four of them on the plane with the comfortable seats and couches, and Hutt was so tired, but he didn't sleep. He couldn't sleep.

Then there was the jetlag. It began to kick in about an hour before they landed and led to a crankiness only seen in small children(or very tired teenagers). He became agitated and snappy, going so far as to accidentally snap at New Zealand when all the other was doing was telling him they were about to land. There was an eight hour time difference between Canberra and Berlin, meaning that when they finally landed, it was the late afternoon in Australia, and it was morning in Berlin. That, coupled with Hutt already having been awake for about fifteen hours or more, the fact that he wouldn't be able to sleep any time soon, and awaiting the horror of being forced to work all day, just made it worse.

And of course, there was the meeting itself. Hutt had only barely gotten a glimpse of the back of Luxembourg, his boyfriend of over a year, before he disappeared around a corner. He decided that this meeting would be hell the second he stepped foot into the 'Phony Nations Room', as he was cranky and tired. The meeting seemed to drag on for days, though it was only hours, and as usual, nobody got anything done. Hutt didn't manage to get much sleep during the meeting. Though he had dozed off, his sleep was short-lived, as his friends found ways to wake him. But now it was over, and everyone was on their way to the hotel. Hutt was really looking forward to sleeping for a good long while.
