You walked up stairs. 'I've always hated these stairs.' You think. You lost your key for the staff elevator (you've lost over 3 in one month) and were too embarrassed to ask for another one. You reach the 3rd floor and was out of breath. You had already exorcized that day and were tired as it was. You leaned on the wall to catch your breath.

"You look tired, Da?" You turned to face Russia. He toward over you and looked down on you with those big purple eyes. He kind of scared you. But you had a crush on you nonetheless. Ever since [your country] started taking you to the meetings you were good friends with him. It took a month for you to realize you liked him.

"Y-yeah, I'm pretty out of breath." You panted. Russia continued to smile down at you and you blushed. With out warning he picked you up and swung you over his shoulder.

"Ride time~" he gleefully said. Your heart was going a million miles per hour. He continued to carry you up the stairs.

"Be compromising and put me down!" you shouted.

"Compromise? There's no such service in Russia~" he carried you up 7 flights of stairs to the roof.

"Um, the meeting is on 5th floor." You said.

"I know~" he carried you to the ledge and then put you down.

"Why did you take me here?" you asked. Russia stared down into your [e/c] eyes with his purple ones. He cupped your cheeks with his warm hands.

"Look over there~" he said. You tilted your head to see what he was talking about. You saw from the parking lot that Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Ukraine, and an un-happy Belarus were waving around a message made of sunflowers. It read 'become one with Mother Russia?' in all capital letters.

"So, will you~?" he asked. You looked into his eyes and saw the kindness in his heart.

"I will." You hugged him very tight and he placed his chin on the top of your head. He started humming 'Korobeiniki'(1). You joined in. That was your first date with your husband.


(1) Korobeiniki is a Russian folk song. You might recognize it from a very popular video game (look it up. you'll be surprised~)

AGH! When will I start writing some serious fics?
