Belarus' True Self

(Russia's POV)

"Onii-chan..." a quiet and familiar voice behind my back said. I shuddered and turned around to find my younger sister staring up at me, the same monotonic look in her eyes. I gulped. I love her. Maybe even more as a family. But only because of the way she's been acting around me. She's been nicer, less scary, and not always asking me to marry her. She's been acting like this for the past 2 weeks. I feel like she's changed. She understands how to act toward me more. But I also feel like this is her plan to get me to trust marrying her, so she can be her evil demonic self again. I don't know. I can't decide whether I love her or not. She's so beautiful and sweet now. But what if it's just faking?

"D-Da?" I stutter nervously.

"I...I was wondering if..."

What is she going to say?!

"if...you would like to eat at my house...for dinner tonight..." she says blushing a pink in her cheeks.

I say in relief, "Why, of course, my dear Belarus. I would love to!"

"I also invited Ukraine-nee chan and other countries...if that's okay..."

I nodded, "Da. Thanks."

Belarus' House

Where was Belarus? I looked everywhere in the house for her. Everyone was busy doing something but Belarus was no where to be found. The smell of Ukraine-nee chan's food still lingered in my nose with it's rich scent. She's the one that gave us the invitation so why is she not showing up? I felt pain twinge in my chest. I felt the feelings of lost of worry flutter through my body. Maybe I am in love with her. But what if the way she's acting is completely fake? I found the door to her bedroom closed but through the thin walls I could hear a slight sobbing. Who was it? I opened the door. Unlocked. I popped my head in for a peek and found my younger sister down on the floor, her knees huddle against her chest, sobbing. She was crying, the true feeling of hurt and despair in her sobs and tears. I bet she didn't notice I had opened the door because she didn't seem to notice the crack of light that entered as I opened the door.

"O-onii-onii-chan...h-he...he would never...love me...like I do..." she whimpered in between sobs.

I felt guilt and pain twinge tighter in my chest.

"H-he only sees me...as a sister...I...I love him so much...but with the way...I usually act...he's too scared of me..."

I hated my self even more.

"I...I know...I act crazy...but in my heart...I know...I...love...and...care for...Russia-nii chan...so much..."

By now I knew I was definitely in love with her.

"But...at least...I'll try to act nicer to...nii-chan..."

I walk in without hesitation, standing next to my sobbing sister. I sit down next to her and give her a hug, something I rarely give. She stops crying and looks up very shocked.

"N-nii-chan?"

"Gomen...Belarus...for being so blind..."

"What do you mean?"

"I thought you were faking to be nice to me..."

"Nii-chan..."

"But you were actually being nice to me, you actually care about me...but why hide these feelings and be so scary?"

"Because...I'm afraid that you...won't...trust me with these feelings..."

"Belarus..." I looked into her eyes with a smile, waiting for her to give me the same. I kissed her. Actually kissed her on the lips. But it was just a quick peck. Her eyes went wide when I broke away.

"Nii-chan?"

"I believe you...Belarus...I know for sure you love me...and because of that, I love you."

I saw tears forming on the edges of her eyes, "N-nii chan."

I hug her tighter. Holding her close to me. I love Belarus. To realize that she really does care for me like this, I don't even mind if she's her usual demonic and scary self.

I know. It was a pretty crappy ending.
