Soo... I realised that my last chapter wasn't the best, but I do plan to redo it in the near future so don't worry your heads off my pretties.I am happy that I got two reviews, not gonna lie when I say I was hoping for more, but that's okay. I can live with it. I noticed, also that Russia was a little OOC, sorry. Anyway on with story.
Germany stared in shock at Russia, had he just heard him correctly? Russia had turned into a sobbing mess on the floor, bringing his knees to his chest, folding his arms on them, whole body shaking. How could I let that happen I should have fought back, just because I acted like the strongest country in the world didn't necessarily mean I was... "I'm so pathetic..." He muttered, while lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice Germany walk over to him. Germany softly put his hand on Russia's shoulder, who jumped at the sudden contact. "Don't worry, I will protect you, no one will hurt you anymore. You are safe here" Germany cooed, with a caring expression. Russia looked up at him with big, watery violet eyes, Germany had never seen him so small before, as though a child. "But I shouldn't need protection, I should be able to protect myself..."
Germany frowned, all of it going too fast for him to process, "There's nothing wrong about accepting someone's help." Russia sent Germany a glare that would give kids nightmares for weeks, "There is a problem with me accepting your help Germany, I should be able to handle a couple of countries. Especially Amerika." Russia stood up to leave, when Germany's stern tone caught him by surprise. "Like I said before there is absolutely nothing wrong with accepting someone's help, okay? I've taken help plenty of times before this, and if I were to need it again I would take it, so please let me protect you!" It was common knowledge to all the other countries, except Russia, that Germany liked him, may even be in love with him.
Russia looked at Germany with wide lovely violet eyes, he looked at the floor with flushed cheeks, "Fine, but just this once after this I will train and become stronger I am tired of being so weak, da?" Russia looked up with a determined look, which for some reason made Germany smile. "Okay, now that that's over with, it's a bit late, we should sleep, have you eaten yet? Are you hungry?" Russia shook his head, "No I'm not hungry." Russia was lying because his stomach quickly protested with a loud growl. Germany chuckled, "I will make some bratkartoffeln*... if that is okay for you?" Russia nodded. "Good, I will get started, please make yourself at home." With that Germany went into the kitchen. Russia stood up and sat down on the couch, actually taking in the interior design of Germany's dining room. It was colored with deep reds, fine creams, and a few ebonies. He also saw a lot of pictures on the wall, some of Germania, Holy Roman Empire, and Ancient Rome, but mainly of Feliciano, Kiku, Gilbert, and Ludwig himself. But, Russia noticed that was 1 or 2 pictures of him, he looked at one very closely. I remember this, France threw a party and all countries were invited, it was at one of France's amusement parks.
FLASH BACK
Russia grinned in excitement as Ukraine led him towards the merry-go-round. "After this can we go on that?" Russia asked pointing at the ferris wheel. "Of course!" Ukraine giggled. They didn't have to wait in line for very long, and were soon on the merry-go-round. At first it started of slow but it gradually sped up, making Ukraine and Russia laugh in pure joy. After getting off, they headed for the ferris wheel, but ran into the Axis Powers along the way. Or more specifically, Italy ran into Russia. "Owww..." Both Russia and Italy said simultaneously. "Oh! Are you okay, Russia? " Germany asked, completely ignoring Italy's well-being. "Da, I am fine no need to worry." Ukraine helped him up and Russia smiled, making Germany blush. "I'm sorry Italy doesn't pay attention to where he's going and normally ends up hurting himself or others." Germany babbled, to which Russia rose an eyebrow. "Germany, it's okay, both me and Italy are fine, da?" "Ve~" Italy agreed. Russia and Ukraine continued towards the ferris wheel. "Wait, where are you going?" Italy asked.
"We were heading over to the ferris wheel, did you want to join us?" Ukraine answered, to which Russia groaned silently.* "Yes, we'd love to, since Italy has been pestering us about it." Russia groaned louder, but it went unheard, because of the crowd. They all went on the ride together, and since it was six per carriage, France joined them, too, switching between flirting with Ukraine and Russia, who both were annoyed at this point, and so was Germany(Jealous much XP). Russia looked out the carriage window and smiled, then giggled, enjoying the view completely. Everyone, except Ukraine, stared in awe, never before hearing such a sound come from the nation, well a real one anyway. As Russia looked out the window, Japan had a perfect view of the smile, so he took a picture.
He must've given Germany a copy, Russia thought. Germany cleared his throat, snapping Russia out of his reverie. Russia flushed, "Sorry..." Germany smiled, "It's okay, I just came to tell you that dinner is ready." Germany led Russia into the kitchen. They sat down at the fine table, said grace, and began to eat. "Germany this is really good, thank you for letting me stay here, and cooking for me," He smiled,"No need to thank me, you are a guest so I shall treat you properly."
After dinner, Germany showed Russia the spare room he had, "Here's where you'll be sleeping, the bathroom's across the hall and my room is inside of my study, which is down the hallway. If you need anything that's where I'll be, just knock first." Russia tiredly nodded, "Okay." Russia went in the room and closed the door. He was about to take off his coat, when he realised it wasn't there. Panic came over his features rather quickly, Oh no, please tell me I didn't leave it there! He opened the door and looked frantically around the kitchen and dining room. Calm down, Russia... There's another meeting tomorrow and I'll get it then, Russia thought, trying to calm himself down. He went back to his room, trying to sleep, but it was fruitless.
About two or three hours later, Russia eyes drifted closed, into a nightmare induced sleep. He woke up two-hours later, drenched in cold sweat. Well when you're dreaming about the ones, you once trusted trying to rape and murder you, I'm pretty sure you would, too. Russia got out of bed and looked at the clock on his bedside table. 4:32 AM. Russia left his room, and quietly tip-toed to Germany's, mind hazy with sleep. He knocked on the study door, after hearing nothing, he went straight in. Inside the study was a desk covered in papers, a bookshelf and another door, which Russia assumed to be Germany's room. Thinking Germany to be asleep, he walked right in there, too. He saw Ludwig sleeping peacefully in his bed, turned on his side. Russia tentatively stepped over to Germany, shaking him awake. "Huh...? Oh! Russia, what is it that you need?" Germany sleepily asked. "I-I had a-a nightmare, could I sleep with you" Germany had never before seen Russia look so vulnerable, he lifted up his side of the blanket and scooted over.
Russia crawled into the bed and quickly fell back to sleep, not having anymore nightmares. Germany turned over and wrapped his arms around Russia, who as sleeping, and pulled him close, more content then ever. It was probably the best sleep either one had had in a long time.
Awww... wasn't that just adorable! Everybody needs some fluff every once in awhile. I hope I did better in this chapter than in my last. Please remember Russia was very tired and if he was in his right state of mind he probably wouldn't have asked Germany if he could sleep with him, not that way you perves. But, anyway the * meant I was going to explain what it was (not like you didn't already know that) Bratkartoffeln is a simple, but popular dish known throughout Germany. It's fried potatoes, often served with bacon or onions. The reason Russia was acting like that was, because he doesn't get to spend a lot of time with Ukraine, being separated by her boss and all, so he wanted it to just be himself and Ukraine.
Well, that's about it, Please R&R!
