Request from AphHetaliaLover:

Ukraine

(Includes RomaniaXUkraine, as that was requested)

"I can't. I can't stop trying now." Ukraine was laying on her bed, trying her best to not get up and search for food. "I've been trying for too long. I do not want to give up."

She brushed her hair back with her hand. "Distract yourself. But just don't... don't think of... that." She referred to the last portion of food her sister had left the other night when she visited for dinner.

"It doesn't matter, you don't need it. Not yet, not until he loves you." Ukraine told herself. She had been starving herself for, God knows how long. And refused to give up on what her goal would be. She wanted Romania to love her, and knew he wouldn't settle for what she looked like in her current state. "I just need to get rid of this." Ukraine pinched her side. Where she felt layers of fat, there was the exact opposite.

There was nearly no meat left on her bones. Her eating disorder, of course, was to blame. Ukraine refused to eat until she saw that Romania would except the way she looked. Not that he'd ever told her she was fat or anything, but she could tell that's what he thought of her.

"He's so nice, why would he think anything bad about me?" Trying to assure herself that maybe she could stop, and maybe get a quick snack- "No! No snacks that will get rid of the progress you have made." She kept her place at her bed. "It'll be fine, I just need to stay here."

...

...

"I need a distraction." Ukraine sat up.

"I'll just take a quick shower, maybe that will get the thought out of my head." Swinging her legs of the bed, Ukraine made her way to where her bathroom was. "A quick shower. That is all I need." She undressed herself and turned the water on. The mirror caught her attention. "I need to work on this." She sighed picking at fat that she only imagined was there.

"I've been doing this for so long, maybe I never will get to be the way I want . Or the way Romania wants." She shook the thought away and stepped into her warm shower.

Smoothing her hair down with the water from the head faucet, she leaned against the wall. "I don't think I can do this anymore. Do I even care? Yeah, I do, but I have been alive for many years. I shouldn't be driving myself crazy with this." She looked down at herself. "I think I'll stop. I have many more years to live and many more ways to be loved." She nodded. "Yes, I'll just... do something else..." Ukraine slowly turned off the water and reached towards her towel with a shaking hand.

She pulled the towel around herself and barley manged to secure it above her chest. "I-I think I'll lie down when I'm done. I'm so tired." Ukraine had only manged to step out of the shower, before collapsing from exhaustion.

She had not eaten for two weeks, not counting the little she ate with Belarus when she visited, so she had nearly no energy. And even with being a nation, she had to eat something. But having not, her body could no longer function.

Ukraine lay on the floor for what seemed like hours to her, when there was a knock on the front door of her large house. She could only groan out a response, she was so tired and couldn't move. The knock sounded again, hared this time. Who ever was out there must have known that she was home, but with no one to unlock or open the door, they could not enter.

The door knob rattled. Was this person growing conserned?

Creak

Did this person have a key too? They always could have picked the lock. But Ukraine was too tired to think about it anymore. Her eyes slowly closed and he last thing she saw before fell unconscious, was a person kneeling down in front of her, trying to keep her awake.

Beep

Beep

The steady noise woke her up only to find herself in a different room, a different building. A hospital.

Ukraine forced her eyes open. The room was empty, besides a few chairs and medical equipment.

Sitting up was not an option, since it would end up being to no avail. So she moved her eyes around as best she could.

The door opened slowly, and much to her surprise, Romania walked in. "Oh, I see you're awake." He walked towards her. "Y-yes. I haven't been awake long." Ukraine stuttered. Romania was right there, talking to her. Why was he there anyway? Was he the person trying to get in her house? Why?

"So, if you wouldn't mind me asking, what did you do in there? Why were you on the floor?" Ukraine's eyes started to water, "Well, I was tired, and I fell and couldn't move... I don't know." She looked down, ashamed of knowing more than what she told. About how she was starving herself. "Actually, I'm sure you were aware that you haven't been eating for sometime. You fainted from a lack of food. Why weren't you eating?" Romania asked her, not pressuring her, of course, but still being very serious.

"I wanted to look good for... someone." She wouldn't admit it was for him. "Why? You looked just fine to me before. You had no reason to starve yourself." Ukraine was frozen in shock. He thought she looked just fine? She had no reason to starve herself? 'D-did you... like they way I looked?" She barley got the question out, but Romania sure as hell heard it. "Yes, I did. A-and I still do." Romania's face turned red. Ukraine lifted her head back up toward him. "You are quite beautiful." He said shyly. Ukraine smiled. "I am? I usually thought I need to change something. My sister has always been so much prettier than me, I thought if I was as small as her..." Ukraine looked down again, once more ashamed of what she had done to herself.

"Don't." He moved his hand to her face and lifted it back up and locked his eyes with hers. "You are just fine the way you are. I-I think you're... perfect." His usual pale skin turned to a deep shade of red. "I'm not used to k-kind or loving words, but that's honestly what I think."

Ukraine's eyes were wide in shock. The person she had feelings for had actually loved her too. "I think you are good at loving words..." was the only thing she could think to say.

His hand moved onto her thin one. Smiling, he said "I'll go tell them that you're awake. And we can see when you can go home." Ukraine nodded.

Things were finially looking up for her.

Okay, so I know this is supposed to be character death one shots, but I was asked to let her live in the request so I let it slide. I still think this was good. I don't think I be doing anymore where I let them live, so if you don't want anyone to die in a request you have, I suggest you just don't send in the request. I don't mean to be rude, I just would rather stick to my original plan.

But I you have a request be sure to add the things I have listed in the very first chapter and I'll see what I can do.

Kiitos~
