“Th’nks f’r c’m'ng t' th' p'rty." Sweden waved Denmark out, frowning slightly. Of course, Denmark had gone and messed up his house completely. Leave it to that idiot. Norway followed Denmark, glaring at Sweden out of the corner of his eye as he passed. Sweden glared back a bit, then closed the door when they finally got out. Finally, everyone had left. He turned back to look at his house, then cursed loudly. Of course, he had a fucking mess to clean up. And Finland was nowhere to be found. Most likely he'd gotten drunk again and fallen asleep. In that case, he wouldn't bother him until it was time to clean the bedroom as well, since France had gotten in there for some questionable and most likely romantic events. He sighed again, then started to pick up the empty bottles of assorted alcohols, ranging from beer to vodka to sake. And there were a lot of those. In fact, he counted about two hundred by the time he'd finally gathered them all up, and that was just the empty ones. There were half-empty and unopened bottles lying around as well, mostly America's beers.
He lined up all the unopened bottles of alcohol on the counter, emptying the half-empty ones into the sink. He didn't really care too much for alcohol. Well, he did drink, but not nearly as much as he used to, what with having been a Viking and all. Drinking like that wasn't really a hobby of his anymore, much to Finland's relief. It took about thirty minutes of just emptying out those half-empty bottles, and then he still had to dispose of those and then take care of the unopened ones. By now, he was beginning to wonder exactly what Finland was doing. Shouldn't his wife be helping him, after all? He decided against it. Finland probably needed to sleep off all he drank.
Twenty minutes later, he was searching the rooms for Finland, starting with the bathrooms. If Finland got drunk, it was reasonable to assume he'd probably had to throw up or something. But no, Finland wasn't there. So he checked the bedrooms. He didn't find anything in Sealand's room, nor did he find anything in the room he and Finland shared.
It was when he got to the guest room that he froze.
Lying on the bed, completely naked with his wrists bound and tied to the headboard, his ankles bound, a piece of cloth tied around his mouth, facing Sweden with the most horrified expression he'd ever seen, was Finland. He squirmed when Sweden opened the door, obviously praying he'd come to let him go. Sweden stood in the door for a minute, then slowly stepped into the room and over to the bed, looking down at Finland in a mix of surprise, shock, and confusion. "F'nl'nd? Wh't 're..." He broke off, looking over Finland's body. To his horror, there were distinct hand-shaped bruises around his wife's hips and small red marks on his neck, familiar marks that he remembered seeing only after they'd--
No way. No.

*bangs his head on the wall* I understand that Sweden mumbles his words, but it doesn't mean at all that you must cut out every single vowel from his speech... Use apostrophes like salt - season to taste.

Huh. This was totally not what I expected (I've somhow gotten too used to the whole "wrapped up as a gift" cliché).
Sounds good so far, though. I really like it and am curious to see what will happen next. (also poor Finland, he's probably not nearly as drunk as Sweden thought or Finland would like to be)
Also, about the discussion above: When they say "use it like salt", here's an idea (what I was doing, anyway). At one point, you'll get a feeling for how much you can substitute with an '. At first, either a) pick one vowel to substitute (like substituting all "i"s) or b) make it a rule to only substitute about every fifth or seventh word.
