Vanilla Twilight Chapter 1.


A town in the north...

Forever covered in a white Sheet...

Will i find Peace here...

Maybe if you just hold onto me...

The Cold will be more bearable...

Russia gasped one last time as he set down the box. He brought his hand up to his head to wipe off the small trail of sweat that was running down his forehead. He had been working since early this morning to finish unpacking. All the Nations were gathering here to live with each other as, actual neighbors instead of geographical neighbors... as Friends instead of Enemies... This was all decided weeks before at a meeting. The many Nations were tired of the fighting... they wanted to all escape, somewhere they didn't have to worry about their different backgrounds or Historical Standings... A place to live peacefully with one another...

The large Russian finished looking things over and, when satisfied, finally decided to go do something...fun. He placed on his large coat and, of course, he already had on his white cream scarf that his sister gave him so many years ago. "Snow..." He said, looking up at the sky, that was now emitting small white snowflakes. This whole town seemed to be covered in a white sheet... that was just great. Instead of becoming one with him and living in a nice warm place, Everyone decided to live in this cold little town... How stupid the other nations could be sometimes.

Russia continued to walk briskly through the town. He had to admit, despite how horrible the cold was... it was kind of pretty... the color of the sky, the way the white color hugged and clung to everything... It was peaceful. He kept moving, finally stopping at what was a coffee shop. "Hmm... warmth..." He said, smiling a bit and walked in. He ignored the rather rude whispers and comments he heard from other people about his size or scary atmosphere, and moved to the counter. He ordered a nice Hot chocolate and sat down. "So good da~" He said in a childish way, sipping at it. It was warm, and it felt nice, lightly moving across his tongue... He wished he could drink it forever... but, of course, it had to end.

When Ivan finished, he set the empty cup down, and began starring out the window. He watched as people passed by... going to work, or to see someone... he wondered if, among the crowds... he would see someone familiar today.

Little did the large Russian know, another familiar face was already among the crowd, starring right at him.

Canada starred from amongst a large crowd of people, each of them not taking any notice of his existence, into the deep, violet eyes of the Russian male. Of course he knew who Russia was... or, he had seen him much... maybe too much, as said Russian had taken up the hobby of sitting on said Canadian lately at all the meetings.

All the nations were coming together to escape the chaos of the earth. Canada of course came, thankfully because of Alfred getting a house of his own, since Arthur would have flat out forgotten to arrange one for him. The Canadian felt his train of thought interrupted as he heard a small voice talk to him. "Who?" a small, white polar bear asked him curiously, placing its paws up trying to be picked up. Matthew smiled down at the bear and picked him up, answering with a kind "Im Canada, you know, the one who feeds you?".

This was tradition basically... despite him and this bear, Kumajiro, tho, he never remembered the name, being so close, they always forgot who the other was. Canada jerked his head back to the window of the coffee shop, starring at the Russian again. He wondered if he should say something. He had honestly not that many meetings face to face with Ivan, unless you counted their Hockey matches, which, were probably the only time he got ANY kind of acknowledgment from another country, and sometimes when they just saw each other across the glaciers. They were neighbors after all...

"Matvey~ lets play!"

"o-Ok!"

Matthew Clutched his head, wincing a bit from a sudden pain he got. He got those a lot... it was like... something was trying to make itself known to him... and then it was gone, just as soon as it happened.

The Canadian let out a surprised 'eep!' as he felt a large, gloved hand come down on his shoulder.

"Comrade Matvey?" The heavy Russian accent said, spinning the Canadian around with much ease.

Canada starred up at the larger nation, a light blush appearing on his face from the surprise. Despite starring at him this whole time, the Canadian hadn't recognized Ivan's realization of being watched, or seen him come outside and attempt to communicate with him.

"H-Hello Russia..." He said, holding his usual, tho, now a bit scarred, smile on his face. Again, except for hockey games, and, old, unable to be re-accounted memories of having him as a neighbor, Matthew didn't know much about the Russian... unless you counted America's horror stories at night, telling of the Cold War, and How the Russian was murderous and terrifying.

"Vhy vere you starring at me da?" The Russian asked curiously, looking at the Canadian with his usual, childlike innocence. He knew Matvey, yes... tho, it took him a moment to see him amongst the crowd, and, it took him an even longer moment to realize he was starring at him.

"oh, uh... i was, uh... i was... just... i thought Alfred might be in there, eh?" he said, thinking frantically, why would he stare, why would he stare! "and i uh, just noticed you were in there and was wondering if i should come in and say hello..." He finally spat out, wondering what harm it would do to say it. From the smile on the Russian's face, the answer was, probably a lot.

That smile, despite its childish sweetness, or how perfectly adorable it was, held something dark behind it... Matthew could feel it.

"Ne? is that so? da?" Ivan said, smiling his usual, Yandere smile at him. The Canadian feared him, he could see it in his eyes... those big Violet eyes... how they were wide, trying to decide what to do next... how he stuttered when he spoke, trying to be careful of what he said. The Canadian was so frail and pathetic looking to him... How could he honestly be the second largest country in the world? and, a force to be reckoned with on the ice on top of it. He intrigued Ivan... Not only were there those two large Factors, but, there was also knowing he was so different from... Ivan felt a twitch of anger even thinking the name, Alfred. Tho they were brothers, Matthew was hardly noticeable, quiet, petite, Polite...

"Y-yes... " Matthew answered, trying to avoid Ivan's eyes... and that smile... it was haunting him... like a ghost... it lingered in his head, no matter how hard he tried to not think about it. He felt a cold shiver run down his spine, and he knew it wasn't from the snow that surrounded them.

"Da. vell, you have said Hello now..." Ivan said, analyzing the fellow nation curiously. He was hoping to find someone else to bother for his own enjoyment... it seemed Matthew was that person. He felt his smile grow as he starred at the blond. "Ne? Matvey?" he said curiously, watching the Blond's face jerk upward.

"W-what Russia?" Matthew asked, seeing that smile once more... that haunting smile... he gulped down hard, thinking about what horrible things were probably behind that smile.

"You come and help Russia vith something,da?" Ivan said, not asking, but stating what would happen. He never asked because there was no reason to ask. Everyone would, no matter what, do as he said... it was just like how Everyone was going to become one with Russia.

The Canadian felt his eyes widen a bit, hearing Ivan state that he all of a sudden had to help him with something. "uh, um... with what?" he asked, too scarred to protest.

"You vill know soon enough... come to my house in about an hour... don't be late. da?" Ivan said, turning around and leaving the confused, terrified, and becoming more and more invisible due to lack of acknowledgment Canadian on the sidewalk alone.

The Canadian stood in shock for a good 5 minutes... only broken out of this state by a warm paw on his face, and yet another 'Who?' Question. Matthew looked down at Kumarjiro, fearful tears welled up in the corner's of his eyes as he answered back "Im Canada..."
