Chapter 21

⚠Warning!⚠ Chapter contains fluff!

( Russia's POV)

     Russia wrapped his arms around Germany. He gently kissed him on the cheek. He was glad they were safe inside his house. Reich was crazy. He knew that he hated their family, but that was nuts. He couldn't understand how Germany lived with him. At the thought of Germany, Russia's mind flashed back to earlier when he walked in on him naked. Russia realized he hadn't apologized for that yet.

" Hey Germany? " he said hesitantly.

" Hmmm?"

"...Sorry for walking in on you later. It was an accident."

Germany blushed.

" I-It's okay! I was completely embarrassed, but it's not that big of a deal."

      Russia kissed Germany again. He still felt rather guilty for busting in on him like that. He tried his best to shake the thought off his mind. He picked Germany up and held him by the legs. Germany placed his hands on Russia's face as Russia nuzzled his neck. He laid him down on his bed. Russia laid beside him. Draping his arm over Germany's waist, he spooned him.

" I think we should relax here for a little bit," Russia suggested.

Germany flipped himself to face him.

" Yeah, I like that idea," he said, kissing Russia on the mouth.

      Russia kissed him back and sighed. He actually wanted to go it and do something, but he wasn't sure what. Besides, he didn't want to worry Germany by getting up and walking around. He was okay cuddling with Germany, though. As long as he was with him...

" You okay? " Germany asked him quietly.

" What-oh yeah, I'm great!"

" Are you bored with being still?"

"..Kind of."

"You wanna go downstairs to get something to eat?"

" Sure."

     Russia was almost always eager for food. He sat up and got off his bed. Germany followed his downstairs. Russia looked around the kitchen for something to eat. After looking through the fridge, he found some plov his family had for lunch the other day. He pulled the large pot out of the fridge and set it onto the table. He put some for him and Germany in separate bowls and into the microwave.

      Russia turned  around to see Belarus dragging Germany to her room. Germany was clawing at the ground and trying to get away.

" Russia, help me!" He cried as Belarus yanked him into her room. She was strong considering how young she was. Russia quickly ran over to her room. He opened the door to see that his sister had placed Germany in the same circle as last time. She was holding a match uncomfortably close to his face.

" Belarus, NO!" Russia said sternly. She stopped immediately.

" I said no satanic rituals while my friend is here! He's too important to be sent to the underworld!"

" Ugh...fine. But one day..."

     Russia picked Germany up and carried him out of the room. He stared straight at his sister. All she did was stick her tongue out and pout.

" I'm really sorry about my sister, she's been like that forever," Russia apologized.

"On second thoughts, maybe we should go somewhere.." Germany said, eating the food Russia had given to him.

     Russia was about to reply when he saw Ukraine opening the door.

" Hold on there, sir. Where do you think you're going?" Russia questioned suspiciously.

" Um- nowhere!" Ukraine said hastily.

" Are you going out to see your boyfriend?"

" ....Maybe. "

" Ooh, I like your outfit!" Germany said from behind Russia. " There's a hole in it, though. I can fix it if you want."

       Ukraine was wearing a light blue cropped hoodie. It had slightly uneven white drawstrings and white at the ends of the sleeves. There was a small but visible hole it the shoulder.

" Can you?" Ukraine said hopefully.

" Yeah!"

      Ukraine took his hoodie off and gave it to Germany. Germany looked around for a sewing kit. He found an emergency one in the medicine cabinet. He got to work almost immediately. Russia was stunned by how fast and how well he could stitch. When he was finished, it looked as if it had just been bought.

" It looks amazing, thank you so much!" Ukraine said once Germany gave him the hoodie back.

" Well, now that that's over with, where do you wanna go?" Germany asked after Ukraine left.

" There's a park across the street. There's also a lot of field that looks really nice. We could go there."

" Sounds like fun!"

     Russia laid his blanket on the soft grass. It was a lot taller than what he remembered. It was a bit more like a yellow jungle than  a simple grass field. Russia could barely see the shorter country he had brought with him, who was currently running through the field like he had just been freed from captivity.

      Germany came running at Russia. He pounced on him with cat-like agility and knocked him over. Russia yelped as he fell onto the groud. They looked at each other for a moment before breaking out into laughter. Germany got off Russia's chest and was about to run back into the longer part of the field.

" Bet you can't catch me, Russland!" He teased.

" You're on!" Russia yelled before taking off after Germany.

      Germany was fast for having shorter legs than Russia. He could change directions much faster than he could. However, because Germany would go really fast, it was only a matter of time before he was out of breath. Russia caught up to him and grabbed him.

" I got you, you silly goose!" He said playfully, picking up the panting country. " Come on, let's go back and sit down.

      Russia carried Germany to where he had laid out the blanket. He gently put him down. Russia sat down and sighed as Germany scooted into his lap. After adjusting himself to be comfortable, he wrapped his arms around him.

" I feel like there should be sunflowers out here," Germany told Russia. " I'll bet they would look really pretty with the yellow grass."

" There was a sunflower out there just a second ago," Russia said, slightly blushing.

" What do you mean?"

" Well, you're my sunflower, and you were out there being pretty."

Russia laughed as Germany's cheeks turned pink.

" It isn't funny!" Germany whined.

" It's very funny," Russia teased. Germany gave him one of his playful slaps on his face.

" Arschloch," Germany muttered, kissing Russia on the cheek.

      Russia loved how Germany's kisses were always so gentle and sweet. It was like getting kissed by clouds or butterflies. Russia pulled Germany closer to him and gently kissed his cheek several times. He then nuzzled Germany's neck and planted gentle kisses there, too.

" Russia!" Germany giggled as he continued to kiss his neck.

      Russia stopped and looked into Germany's eyes. The sun was just barely setting. It was hard to even tell that it was, as the sky was just as blue as it had ever been. Russia could barely see Germany's snow white pupils. He saw them look down for a second.

" I wish I had eyes like yours," he said with a slightly sad tone.

" Why?"

"' Yours are so much prettier! The brown makes you look cute...mine make me look scary."

" Your eyes don't make you look scary!" Russia said. " They're so pretty. They're delicate like glass and reflect your surroundings. They're unique, and I love that."

     Germany laughed, but it was a much more empty laugh. Russia's heart hurt for him. He was so much prettier than he thought he was. All Russia wanted to do was smother him with every once of love he had in his body.

      He suddenly felt his phone go off in his pocket. He picked it up and saw that Japan was trying to call him.

" Hello?" He said, answering the call.

" Is Germany there with you?" Japan said. She sounded overstimulated and very excited.

" Yes. why?"

" I need you both to come over. There's something I want you guys to see."
