Okay so hey this is my first ever story on here so yayyyyyy :D! I am a huge fan of RusAme honestly, I mean it's so freaking adorable. Anyway I want to let you guys that I will be using their human personification names a lot more than I will be their countries names. However I will still be using them so I just wanted to let you know about it. So I honestly don't know what to rate this story now because I was going to have a little sexual content in here even though I don't want to make it too sexual ya know? What I'm trying to say is the rating will change overtime so be aware okay? Good we understand each other. To shade some background on the story it takes place towards the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the U.S.S.R. Okay so I hope you enjoy the 1st chapter of the story.

"Do you love anyone Russia?"

Slight hopefulness rang in his voice as it echoed through out the dark alley where they now resided.

"I..."

Hesitation was clearly present in Ivan's voice, for he was truly stumped by Alfred's question.

Indeed Russia loved someone, but he dare not say it in front of the sapphire eyed American kneeling before him. Instead of speaking exact truth he simply gave him a different answer.

"Yes. I do love someone, but it wouldn't matter to you anyway da?"

He wasn't sure if it was the pure panic that was overwhelming him, or that he was hurt by the Russian's words uttered from his pale pink lips.

There was nothing he could do now, no more hiding a secret that'd probably die with him anyway. His eyes peered down at the barrel of the gun pointed at his chest where his heart beat slowly.

"Since you're gonna kill me anyway... I might as well tell you.

I know that we are at war now and you probably hate me but I love you Ivan Braginsky.

But I guess I have failed at being a hero, as well as being able to communicate my feelings with you.

However I guess this is the end for me. No more I'm the hero! The hero fell for the villan, and that's never supposed to happen. I've failed...I broke a rule."

Sapphire eyes met Amethyst ones.

Russia's eyes became cloudy as he spoke those last words. Hot tears threatened to spill from Alfred's eyes as he sat there feeling deflated, heartbroken, angry and hopeless all at the same time.

"I love you too Alfred."

Ivan had never had anyone express feelings of romance for him.

After all every country was always intimidated by him, always scared or running away from him. He'd never been able to tell why they'd always been so hostile toward him.

When he saw tears begin to cascade down his slightly tan and flustered cheeks.

Alfred's look reminded him of when he was a child. Helpless and completely without direction, no one to guide him.

Shudders ran down Ivan's spine as thoughts of his dreadful childhood crossed his mind.

The blonde haired country looked up at him, eyes pleading to be held in some ones arms, needing and begging for a sincere friend. Someone he could depend on.

Hastily he dropped the gun making a loud clattering sound when it crashed to the ground.

"I'll be there for you America. Even if you need me to, ill be your hero...da?"

America rose from his previous kneeling position and wrapped his arms around the taller country.

He breathed in his scent, smelling of fresh sunflowers and vodka.

There they stayed crying in each-others embrace, making promises to stick by each-others side.

Sorry it was so short. I was going to make it longer but I just decided to make it short and sweet so I could save the good stuff for later. I quite honestly love this ship and I plan on continuing the story. I don't know how long it'll be though. I'll update soon. Byeeee!
