[There is a little kid on a box. That is placed on another box. That is placed on a chair.

It doesn't really look terribly safe. Anyway, he's on top of that pile and tries to reach up as high as he can, obviously trying to get to a cookie package that is placed on a shelf that is just way too high up for him.

it might be there for a reason. Or not. Anyway, as the feed continues, the pile starts to move and sway dangerously as the child on top of it continues his efforts, and finally crumbles. And down goes little Sve, crashing hard into the floor, together with the boxes and half of everything that was on the shelves in front of him.]

Whahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-

[When the cluttering and crashing is over, one can hear stiffled sobbing a bit off screen - he's not crying, totally not, he just hit his nose! - and then a tiny hand reaches for the device and a little kid with already forming bruises and some minor cuts comes on.

Unaware that the thing has been recording all the time - never switching it off does that to you - he prods the screen, wondering how to make it show something.

While he's concentrating on it, the chair, the only thing still standing around him, finally decides to follow everything else and, comically slow, tips over to come down on the little nation.]

[[ooc: Since I have no clue where Svear is staying right now and he has at least been to the Western-Nordic-or-whatever household for sure, I'll say this happens in the kitchen of Marshall 301/302. ]]

（　and stares. if denmark had a pen and paper in front of him right this second, he would sit down and write something like this.

Dear God,

It's me, Your most awesome nation. Remember that time You gave me that flag, when I was in Estonia? Those were good times. But God, I need to have a talk with You. Lately, I feel like You haven't been holding up Your end of our deal. The one where I'm awesome and fix up this You-damn city, no offense, and where You take care of me.

Now, I'm gonna forget about the whole Japan thing, because I'm not even completely sure Japan's Christian, so he's kinda out of Your jurisdiction. And I'm going to forgive You for the whole Germany thing, because I'm sure it's part of some plan You and Jesus have going. Say hi to Him for me by the way.

I'm also not mad about the snow, or the fact that people here are crazy, or the assholes, and I'm also not going to blame You for the fact that it's hard work. I like hard work! And I'm glad You've sent Nor here, and I'm glad I got to help kill that monster, and I'm glad Ice is here too.

But God.

Why the fuck is Sweden tiny. Okay, okay, I know I've told You I like being the big brother, but this isn't what I meant! You have a weird sense of humor, God. And for the record, I'm still sore about the stuff with him a couple weeks ago, but I don't think that was Your fault since You probably think he's as weird as I do.

Please change him back to an adult.

All my love,
Den.

alas, he does not have a pen or paper. so instead he rushes forward and grabs the chair before it crushes the babby.　）

[Looks up at SUDDEN ADULT! looming over him - oh.]

'ncle Den.[Aren't you happy that he kind of trusts you now? He just decided that Denmark has to be either Dani's other father or Germania's brother or something like that.

Just...staring up at the man while trying to come up with a way to not get into too much trouble for this. Maybe if he says that everything just fell - too unlikely. Or if he says that it was a mouse or cockroach or something like that? That should be possible, right? ...Just not on the top shelf.

Thinking thinking thinking]

I'm not yer uncle! （　CONSIDERS DROPPING THE CHAIR HE IS NOT AN UNCLE HE IS YOUNG AND— okay, maybe he's a little on edge today. he puts the chair upright again, then surveys the mess.　）

The hell were ya after?

From:

rules_the_north

[But uncle Den you are to young to be a grandfater! And too old to be his brother.]

...

Th' sweet food.

From:

kongeriget

Fuck.

（　he looks around in the mess and spots the cookies. well then. …he picks them up, leans against the counter, opens it up and eats one.　） Ya can have 'em after ya clean up.

From:

rules_the_north

[Glares at the evil uncle for a moment, ponders his options, and then-

listens.

And starts to clean up. He might break a few more things while trying to put them back on the shelf, but.

Aren't you happy?]

From:

kongeriget

（　denmark kind of wants to burst into happy tears sweden just listened to him!!!!

h- he's kind of having a moment, don't mind him.　）

From:

rules_the_north

[He's too preoccupied over here to notice anything. Continues to clean up... this was really high up on the shelf

and now he's starting to build that makeshift ladder of chair and boxes for a second time. he needs to but stuff on the upper shelves after all to get to the cookies.]

From:

kongeriget

（　he notices about halfway through his deredere moment what sweden is doing.　） Woah! Hold up!

From:

rules_the_north

[[Though my favorite version is "his glasses". But the disturbing one is nice, too |D]]

[Stops, holding up one box with both hands and turning around ->he's still a kid and that some things cannot be done together isn't as natural yet as it will be later on.... aka there is a box that will slip from his hands and hit him in the head in 3....2....]

From:

kongeriget

（　yeah, he's not fast enough to "save" him this time.　）

From:

rules_the_north

[Cue babby nation being out for a minute or two, the box having knocked the air out of him solidly.]

From:

kongeriget

（　there's a half-second pause as denmark is all what even.

and then he runs over, dropping the cookies and scooping up the babby into his arms!!　） SVE!

From:

rules_the_north

[This unchipping turns out to be rather life threatening, sob.

When the two minutes have passed, he whimpers and stirs a bit, sniffling and hiccuping like he is about to cry. He doesn't cry easily, but this? A bit too much.]

From:

kongeriget

（　dfgdfgf crying babby/younger brother/he doesn't even know. he has no idea what he's supposed to do in this situation.

but fun fact: he adopted iceland, greenland, and the faeroe islands when they were all really young too. weirdly enough, he's actually a "parent". so during the two minutes sweden is out, he's checking for blood, then lays him down over his lap. when sweden wakes up, even though he's making a face like Dear God, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, he's also petting babby's hair.　） It's okay, it's okay…

From:

rules_the_north

[Clings to strange uncle/big bro/momentary-parent-replacement

trying not to cry really hard but it doesn't work. You might get your shirt a bit gross because now he buries his face there.]

From:

kongeriget

（　yeah, that's kinda gross. and it makes him feel weird. really weird. like. just.

weird. but he continues his back patting.　） There, there…

From:

rules_the_north

[Continues crying for a while. Also grabbing the shirt with both hands now and snuggling a bit closer, because the other body's warmth is soothing and comfortable and really all of this is comfortable and feels safe.]

From:

kongeriget

（　he kinda shifts back, so that he's sitting with his back resting against one of the counters. still patting his back, just like if it was iceland or greenland again, but even though his movements are automatic, he feels so fucking awkward. he's actually at a loss for words.　）
