Samantha walked down the hallway. Hearing a voice, she stopped by Hong Kong's room and peeked inside.

Hong Kong's back was facing the half-open door, and he seemed to be having a conversation with someone on Skype.

When surprised Samantha most was that when he talked, he didn't use his normal monotonous voice when he talked to most. It was lighthearted and had a joking tone to it.

Growing interested, she pushed the door open and crept inside. Leaning over to one side, she was able to study the person on the other side of the screen.

It was a silver-haired boy, and his eyes were a pretty shade of violet. He wore a dark brown coat with a white dress shirt and ribbon tie.

Samantha had seen his face only a few times at world meetings but judging from his pale complexion and his puffin bird, she could tell that he was one of the countries up north.

Iceland...was it?

He didn't look much older than her and had a similar emotionless expression as Hong Kong.

"Is that your boyfriend?"

The words had accidentally slipped from her mouth. Hong Kong flinched, looking at her in alarm.

"Hong? Are you okay?" Iceland asked.

There was an awkward silence before Hong Kong returned to his senses.

"I gotta go Ice. I'll--"

"Hey, don't hang up! I didn't even get to say hi yet," Samantha interrupted, a grin on her face. "I'm sorry I walked in on you two!"

"Who are you?" Iceland murmured.

"...I swear I'm not cheating on you." Hong Kong cut in.

"What?"

"What?"

"Never mind. Anyways--"

"ICEY!!" A loud voice erupted from the other end of the video call.

Iceland's eyes widened as the door to his room was slammed open. He quickly lowered his laptop screen.

"What do you want, pineapple? Can't you see that I'm busy?" He muttered.

"Let's go play in the snow!" The obnoxious voice exclaimed. "What do you say, Norge?"

"I'm only joining you because you promised to buy me to butter. Who are you on the phone with, little bro?" A calmer voice inquired. "Is it that boy you're obsessed with?"

"Shut up."

"Ohhh he didn't admit it!"

"Shut up, Denmark."

"You still have to call me big brother."

"No way. In your dreams," Iceland scoffed.

"So you will? In my dreams?" Norway said hopefully, earning a sigh from Iceland.

"I have to go." And with that, he hung up.

Samantha gave her friend an innocent smile.

"Looks like you weren't the only one who got walked in on." She shrugged. They were about to exit the room, until...

"I HEARD YOUR ENTIRE CONVERSATION ARU!!"
