Iceland x America

bonding and fluff

__________________________________________________________________

America had been in Iceland for vacation, he wanted somewhere quiet and small and had asked the shorter nation if he could stay. Iceland allowed it, as he actually enjoyed having America around. The two went on many day trips together and had a lot of fun. When they would get home, Alfred would cook something for dinner and they'd watch horror movies. Iceland actually liked cradling America, it made him feel like he was protecting someone.

It was one of the final days of America's vacation when Iceland received a call from Norway. The two chat for a bit before Iceland hung up and came back to the living room. He sat next to Alfred and groaned, rubbed his face.

"What's up, Emil?" Alfred paused the movie they had been watching and looked at him worriedly.

"It's Lukas! His stupid magic and shit keep him busy and he always talks to me when he gets a break! Like, can we ever not talk about how you were able to summon a troll or about how there was an ogre wedding last week?!" Alfred chuckled and nodded.

"I know what you mean, Arthur is the same way. If he isn't insulting me or being, well, Arthur, he is talking to his fairy tale creatures. I was never one to believe in magic, but I humor it for Arthur's sake," he then looked at Emil, "it makes sense why Norway and him get along so well. They can both bond over their magic,"

"Wait, you don't believe in magic, yet you know what Arthur and Lukas do,"

"Well, I don't believe in calling it magic,"

"I see, explain further," Iceland got into the fetal position, intensely looking at Alfred to speak.

"Oh, well, I think their powers are more a biological thing. Here, what I'm about to show you may seem strange, but you can't tell ANYBODY," Emil nodded. Alfred took a deep breath and moved his hand, making a blue light form.

"Alfred, you-"

"Native America was intertwined with nature, and so was I. I was able to extend my powers to greater length than just simple elemental ability. It took so many years, but I mastered all my extended powers! Magic isn't just messing with other world beings, it's utilizing a deep rooted feeling of warmth and connection," Alfred closed his palm and the light disappeared.

"That was, amazing," Emil sighed, "I wish I had powers,"

"Everybody has powers deep inside of them, I could help train you, if you'd like,"

"Why would a great and powerful nation like you help someone as small as me," Alfred crawled over to him and hugged him.

"Because, I've always like you, Emil! Even back when everybody said you were just some wannabe colony, I always believed you were going to be one of the coolest nations. I always believed you could be independent and when you finally got it, I actually cheered! Dude, you have so much culture and history! I mean, I go anywhere in Europe and I can see a building that's older than me!" Alfred smiled brightly and looked at Emil, "to me, you were always so much cooler than those other nations!"

"Alfred," Emil's eyes began to shine with un-shed tears as he almost smiled, "that is so kind of you to say! I thought no one believed in me, yet here you are! The greatest nation of all time, with all the power in the world, believing in me!"

"Hell yeah, dude! Everybody always said that I was a nobody, now look at me! Those asswipes are eating their words now!" Alfred flexed and chuckled. Emil's cheeks puffed as he held in his laughter, "imagine the look on most of Europes' face when they heard I actually won," 

"Everybody was shocked! Even Sweden barely believed it!"

"Do you remember when I first walked into a world meeting? I thought the nations would shit themselves with how young I was!"

Emily finally burst out laughing.

"I know right! I still remember Austria having a seizure in his mind, you could see it in his eyes! How shocked someone so young managed to whack England's ass!" the two laughed hysterically to the point Alfred fell off the couch. Both went silent for a moment as Alfred sat up.

"Fuck nuggets, that smarts," Alfred rubbed his head and looked at Emil. The two were silent before bursting out into laughter again.
