Request - Norway x Reader : Cosmos - Part 1

It was a day, just like any other at the Nordic 5's house. You watched as your friends Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and your crush Norway went about a normal day at the Nordic household. As usual, Norway was strangling Denmark for making an inappropriate remark, which he often did unwittingly because of his oblivious nature and, the others watched, not wanting to get involved in the quarrel. Finland was scared by the whole ordeal, whereas Iceland and Sweden watched for a while before losing interest. You watched with concern, and you were lucky to be there because becoming friends with all of them was no small feat. Denmark and Finland's trust was won pretty much immediately, but getting the others to trust you was much harder … especially Norway's
"Alright, Norway. That's enough" Iceland said with a sigh
Norway let go and left the room as Denmark choked, trying to catch his breath
"That guy's a psycho!" He cried
"Then don't wind him up then, you ass-hat" Iceland snarled
"That's not very nice" Finland said, sighing
"He's right, though. If he didn't get Norway mad, then he wouldn't have gotten strangled, right?" You said
They all looked at you. Iceland and Sweden nodded in agreement, whereas Denmark and Finland just stared, mouth agape. You sighed
"Let me put it this way, if Sweden was pissing you off, would you react?" You asked
"Of course! I'd kick his ass all the way to Stockholm!" Denmark declared
He looked pleased with his answer until he noticed the death glare he was receiving from Sweden. It was no secret that Denmark and Sweden didn't like each other very much … but Denmark tried his hardest to patch things up, which often ended in complete failure and he often ended up being beaten up at some point
"There you go, then. Please, try being nicer to Norway" You said
"I am trying!" He said, pouting
Denmark … he means well, but sometimes he is just too oblivious for his own good. His oblivious nature was often confused for stupidity as he often unwittingly did things that annoyed or angered others
"Man … you guys don't think much of me, do you?" He said, sighing
"Oh, come on Denmark … don't be like that" You said, sighing
He looked away, pouting and you sighed as Norway entered the room, tidying his hair. You looked at him and smiled
"H-hey, Norway. You ok?" You asked with a smile
"Better now" He muttered, sitting beside you
He was definitely the Nordic you liked the most. In fact, you had developed feelings for the seemingly emotionless man. Convinced that he didn't return your love, you never breathed a word of it to anyone … and it hurt you to keep something like that bottled up. You then noticed that Norway was looking directly at you
"What's wrong?" He asked
You had to use all of your sheer force of will and mental energy to stop yourself from blushing like mad. You had loved him since he saved you from drowning in a nearby lake, but never told him about how you felt because you didn't know if he felt the same way
"It's nothing, Norway. I'm just a little … confused. I mean, you never show any emotions. How do I know you even have any?" You said, looking at him with a sad expression
"That's a strange thing to say. You never usually talk to me like that … is something wrong? You look sad" He said
"I'm ok, Norway. I'm just thinking" You said
"Dangerous hobby in Denmark's case" He said
You couldn't help but laugh and you could have sworn you saw a little smile on Norway's face, but when you looked no such expression was there
"I love spending time with you and the other Nordics. You guys are so much fun to be around" You said
You noticed that Denmark had left the room, Iceland was eating liquorice and Sweden was unintentionally scaring Finland … so no abnormal behaviour there
"Yes … I much prefer these meetings with you here. You understand me … and I feel calmer around you, [Name]" Norway said
You wouldn't exactly call what happened earlier "calm" exactly, but if that was indeed calmer than he usually was, then he had some serious anger issues
"I'm glad you're my friend, [Name]" He said
Norway's word swam around in your head like some kind of demented shark. You loved him from the bottom of your heart, but you were getting the impression that he didn't return your love at all. You knew there had to be some way to make him love you the way you loved him. Then, you remembered those two strange people that he had tea with every Wednesday night … England and Romania. The three were known to the world as the "Magic Trio" because of their connection to magic
"Maybe one of the weirdoes can help me with my problem" You thought

-The Next Day-

You knocked on the door, a little nervous about whether or not Romania would be able to help you. You decided to visit him first as he was the creepiest of the Magic Trio and he talked about magical trinkets whereas England talked about potions and curses
"I just hope Romania can help" You muttered to yourself
As if on cue, the door opened and a reasonably handsome man stood there with a smile on his face. He had mousy brown hair, blood red eyes and pale white skin. You noticed that fangs were poking out of his mouth, which made you feel slightly nervous. He was wearing a strange outfit with a little hat on his head
"Oh! Hello, miss. How can I help?" He asked in his thick Romanian accent
"Hello … you're Romania, right?" You said, a little nervous
"Why, yes! It's not often I get visitors, you know" He said
"Well, I came here because I need your help. My name is [Name] and I'm Norway's … friend" You said
"Oh, I remember. I'd never mistaken your scent" He said with a little twinkle in his eye
You found him very creepy indeed, despite his cheerful and friendly attitude
"Come in, come in! We can have a lovely chat!" He said
You nodded, a little nervous. Obviously, you had only seen him and talked to him a few times before so you were a little wary of him … it didn't help that he was quite obviously a vampire. He led you into his living room
"Please, sit" He said in a cheerful tone
You obeyed, sitting in one of the big armchairs
"Would you like anything to drink?" He asked
"Just water, thank you" You said, shaking a bit
He nodded and left the room with a spring in his step. While he was gone, you looked around the room to find that his house was rather large and was rather dark. Not surprisingly, the curtains were closed and not a hint of daylight was being let into the house … then again, it was quite cloudy outside so Romania didn't have to worry about that as much. It was sad to think that he lived in the big house all alone. After a while, Romania came back with a glass of water and sat in one of the other arm chairs with a big grin on his face
"So, what brings you here?" He asked
"I need to ask you about magical trinkets" You replied
"Well, you've come to the right place. Is there any in particular you are looking for?" He asked
"There's this boy … that I really like and I really want him to feel the same way" You replied
"I see … then I know just what you need. But it'll be tricky to get" He said
"What? What is it?" You asked, on the edge of your seat
Romania stood up
"Follow me. I'll show you what I've got in mind!" He said with a smile
Little did you know that this was the start of an adventure that would go beyond anything you could ever imagine
