Chapter 9. Secrets

He knew that, sooner or later, he would have to admit being touched by love to Denmark... But preferred to keep his "relationship" with Hong Kong as a secret towards his family.

Knowing Hong Kong, he would too.

-Good morning, aru!

The oldest Asian's voice shook him off his thoughts violently, making him flinch like a startled cat.

-Iceland, are you ok?

-A-Ah, yes...

-Are you leaving?

-Y-Yes... Thanks for letting me stay tonight

-It's nothing -China smiled bright.

-Please, tell Hong Kong Norway phoned me and I had to go -He sighed.

-Ooh... So that's where the music came from, aru...

-Yeah... -He rubbed the back of his head.

Iceland said goodbye to China and Japan -the only ones awake, took Mr. Puffin, and headed to the hotel.

He checked his watch regularly, walking fast.

He sweeped the narrow streets, trying a short-cut to the hotel that Hong Kong showed him.

-Iceland!

-H-Huh?

A happy, greeting Sealand approached him.

-Ice!! We were worried! -Denmark's loud, whiney voice  shook him off the hug Sealand gave him.

Denmark and Norway exchanger a gaze. Iceland noticed it, and flinched slightly.

Denmark looked somewhat... worried? Distressed? Something extrange in him. It was probably caused by Norway's glare at the Icelandic.

Though it could only be because Iceland's delay, the boy could feel more behind the indigo glare.

Only caused by the guilty of keeping the secret of kissing a boy who just met to his family? Maybe, but Iceland's heart froze.

He could notice hints of emotions like anger, dissapointment, suspect, or even... loathe?

All that in a single glare. A glare that he hated to read that easily...

Iceland sighed, trying not to make eye contact with anyone but Sealand, who stayed with him during all the sight-seeing visit.

-Nor!! Den!!!

-Yeah, Ice?!

Denmark shouted his response from the living room.

Iceland rose to his feet and ran to the living room, shouting from his room.

-Hong texted me!!

The Dane shuddered as Norway's eyes furrowed into an annoyed glare.

-He says we're a having another sight-seeing visit tomorrow!

Norway closed his eyes, speaking firmly, but calmly.

-We know, China already told us...

Iceland hoped they didn't notice the light pink shade in his cheeks.

-Anyway, Ice... You can't come this time...

-What? Why?!

-We're visiting... Beijing's night clubs and such.
