"...achtundneunzig… neunundneunzig… HUNDERT!"
Prussia grunted softly as she finished her push ups and rolled on her back to rest on the grass for a few minutes. The sky above her was a soft pink that was rapidly getting brighter as dawn approached. After a bit she sighed and got up to finish the last part of her training: stretches. Bending down, she grabbed her toes and counted to thirty. She'd only gotten to fourteen when strong arms wrapped around her waist, urging her to stop. Gasping softly, she straightened and spun around.
It was Canada, still in his pajamas and looking half asleep. "Come back to bed, Julchen," he mumbled.
Prussia raised a white eyebrow. Canada was an early riser, but he didn't get up at four to train like she or her bruder did. Still, he'd never asked her this before.
"Vhat's wrong?" she asked.
Canada let out a low groan and buried his face in her shoulder. "Kuma disappeared again. Please… come back to bed."
Prussia smiled, finally understanding the problem. Canada loved to cuddle; why else put up with such a stupid bear? He literally couldn't fall - or stay - asleep unless he was cuddling something. She ran a hand through Canada's soft hair and nodded. An opportunity like this didn't come often.
Canada hummed happily and kissed the side of her neck. "You're a better cuddler than a bear anyway," he murmured.
Prussia rolled her eyes and pushed him off her so she could grab his hand and start leading him to the house. "Ja, ja, let's get you back to bed. You're obviously not coherent."
Haha, yeah, my headcanon is that Canada keeps Kumajiro around for cuddling purposes.
