Summary: What happens when a certain Nordic loses something and can’t find it without help.
"Fin, I lost my glasses."
From the other side of the phone, the short blonde man was taken aback.
It has happened a few times, and it hadn't been fun. Sweden was almost blind without his glasses; his face would get even scarier when he struggled to read (truth be told, Finland didn't even knew how he'd been able to dial) and being without his glasses was one of the few things that could actually put him in a bad mood.
However, it was no secret that despite his eagle sight Finland was terrible at finding things. So it basically meant Sweden had chosen to call him not because it'd be more practical, but because he was the only one the man would be able to call without dying from embarrassment.
That left Finland to do everything by himself. Again.
"Okay, I'll bring help. Check the sofa with your hands to see if there's anything on it, sit and wait. Don't drink alcohol and don't try cooking. I'll come as soon as I can."
The short man only got a grunt as an answer.
Finland soon was there with Denmark. He knew Sweden didn't like asking the Dane for help, but Estonia was busy and the shorter man wouldn't try looking for it by himself.
"Well, Denmark and I will look for it, okay? If you need help or anything, just call me."
Sweden grumbled. It wasn't as if he had any other option anyway.
Finland and Denmark looked through the whole house. The attic, the toilet, the kitchen, even the children's bedroom, nothing was left out. The house wasn't as tidy as it used to be before Sealand and Ladonia moved in, but was still quite neat. There were a few pieces of colorful fabric on the floor, which meant Sweden had probably been working on new clothes for his 'children' (and had made quite a mess for his standards while looking for the goddamned glasses). However, after a few hours, the glasses were still nowhere to be seen.
Denmark had even called Norway, in hopes that his "magical creatures" would be able to find it - even though he didn't believe them, Norway could find almost anything, so it was worth a try. However, Norway had insisted to come with Iceland, and the white-haired young-looking man's stubbornness made it take both of them several hours to get to Sweden's house. In the meanwhile, Finland hot hungry and tried to cook, but accidentally opened a can of surströmming indoors and almost passed out. Denmark had to help him and clear off the disgusting smell in the kitchen (without passing out in the process) - he probably hadn't been busy like that for decades.
Long story made short: when the doorbell rang, there was nobody to answer it, so Sweden had to do it himself. He struggled with the keyhole for several minutes, but managed to open the door, where Norway and Iceland (well, they looked like them, at least) were waiting. However, when they saw him, Iceland face palmed while Norway sighed, without even greeting him. Sweden raised an eyebrow, wondering what had happened. The older visitor pointed to his forehead in response.
Sweden took his hand to his head and felt something on it. Taking it and looking at whatever it was, he came to the conclusion that it was...
His lost pair of glasses.
Obviously, the Nordics had to deal with a grumpy Iceland complaining during the whole night about having left Puffin on his own and the lack of hourly flights to Reykjavík.
