Hey HetaRussia here...I want to say sorry for no posting anything on this story in like ever...but this wont happen again promise!

ANother thing about Russicat, yeah I made him a girl...for the heck of it...okay bye

Canada pulled into his driveway about an hour later, and to his surprise Russia was still sound asleep! The drive home wasn't as he expected, it wasn't tense, threating, or scary. No. it was actually really sad. Despite the fact Russia was slept all the way to the others house, he could tell something was wrong. Canada turned off the engine with a heavy sigh, and he leaned over to unbuckle Russia. The man didn't stir when Canada closed the door or even when Canada picked him up! "Stay right there . Let me take Russia into the house and I'll come back for you." He said as he started up his long drive way. There was one thing many people didn't know about the little Canadian, and that was he was just as strong as his brother, so packing Russia was a piece of cake. Canada walked up the long maple wood staircase and into the master bedroom.

The room was fairly large. There was a oriental rug and a large four poster bed with velvet quilt and white curtains, to the left of the bed was a large window and bookshelf. Canada pulled the curtains back and gently laid Russia down into it causing the other to moan. As soon as the other was laying down Canada set about making him comfortable, he tugged off Russia's boots, gloves, and unbuttons his coat which he promptly hung up. Though he wanted to take it off he left the Russians scarf alone, he tugged the blanket back and over the sleeping nation's body, his heart melted and a smile formed on his lips as he watched Russia nuzzle into the sheets with a content sigh. Canada, feeling accomplished turned to leave only to be meet with a pair of hurt shining black eyes "Y-You forgot me!" cried Kumajiro.

Canada sighed sadly and scooped up the little animal "I'm sorry, I had to get Russia comfortable. He admitted. The bear buried his face in his master's shoulder and sniffled "Is there anything that will make you feel better?" he asked gently "You can feed me…" whimpered Kumajiro. "Okay." mumbled Canada as the twosome left the room.

It was after lunch time when Russia stirred awake; he sat up and rubbed his eyes childishly. He looked around not recognizing his surroundings; he climbed out of bed and trudged groggily down the stairs.

He was met with the aroma of bacon, which wafted into his nose, causing his belly to growl. He looked over the railing and saw the Canadian cooking, Kumajiro was finishing a biscuit when he caught Russia's scent "Can…Car…uh…" Kumajiro stalled and gave up, deciding that throwing the biscuit at his master was easier. "HEY! Kumabearo!" he snapped turning only to be met with his fact in Russia's chest. He squeaked and stepped back "Oh, Russia your awake, did you sleep well?" he asked, Russia simply nodded not looking the other in the eye as he shifted uncomfortably. "Hungry?" asked Canada Russia once again nodded and shifted a bit once more, Canada nods and begins making the other a plate, consisting of eggs, pancakes (which were covered in powdered sugar chocolate syrup and strawberries), bacon, sausages, and ham.

After eating , and belly full Russia sighed out of contentment "Spasibo for the meal, and allowing me to sleep in your bed." He said about fifteen minutes later, Canada smiled nodding "Don't mention it." After that both nations sat in silence for a long time watching the polar bear paw at his toys. Russia shifted a bit more before turning to the other nation "Um…C-Canada wh-where is the bathroom?" Canada sat up some and noticed Russia's face was stained red with embarrassment "Oh, its upstairs to the left.'' He said, Russia nods, running up stairs.

It was now nine o' clock at night , both nations were readying for bed, Canada wished Russia a goodnight and closed the door to the guest bedroom. The instant the other left Russia began to whimper. He looked around the dark room frantically, everything seemed to shrink , his breathing came in quick in quick shuddering gasps, his eyes started to burn as he looked, then it happened!

The feeling of leather on his back tearing into his skin, the sheering blinding pain, the cracking sounds of the whip slicing the air. He cried out, but remembering that he was in Canada's house he bite down onto his lower lip hard enough that it drew blood.

As he lay in bed shuddering and sobbing pathetically, those awful memories and thoughts came crashing back to him, he was scared and wanted to leap out of bed and go running to the other nation for coddling. But he didn't do it, instead he shuddered and curled into a tight ball sobbing. Eventually Ivan cried himself to sleep.

Ivan sat on a throne, a crown on his head and scepter in his hand. He sat watching his people each and everyone of them rioting. He stood up as he seen the doors burst open, and men with mask appeared and grabbed him. He fought back as they stripped of all his clothing and bound his arms and feet together by rope. The dragged out of his castle, and his people started to beat him and hack at him. The rioters then took up their weapons (a sickle and butcher knife) and began amputating his limbs. That's when the sound of a gun being cocked then fired with a loud 'BA-BANG!'

Russia sat up right and without thinking bolted out the room….

Canada was awaked to sound of someone knocking on his bedroom door. He sat up and glanced at his door.

"Who is it?" he said with a yawn as he climbed out of bed.

"It's me I-Ivan…can I come in?" came the soft response.

Canada swung his legs over the bed and looked confused "Why does he sound so…scared?" he thought. Canada trudged groggily over to the door and stood there yawning "Canada?" said Russia his voice quivering, said nation opened door only to reveal a teary eyed Russian. The sight broke Canada's heart, he noticed that he other male was glancing into the dark hallway almost frightfully "Russia?" asked Canada.

To his surprise Russia almost jumped out of his skin, and begin trembling. "C-Can I come inside?" sniffled Russia. Canada nods and leads the other into the room sitting him down on the bed, he flipped the lamp on and sat beside Russia. And once again he was surprised to see Russia sitting in fetal position, his legs were drawn to his chest as his chubby arms were hugging his legs, Canada approached him. He sat down next to him rubbing is back "Hey everything is okay, eh." Canada said pulling the other into a hug.

Russia shuddered pathetically and sagged into him, Canada sshed him, telling him its alright. That's when Canada felt his shoulder become soggy. "R-Russia?" he stammered the other let out a strangled sob and his breathing became rugged gasps. Canada felt bad for the large male, he seemed so scared right night and vulnerable. Canada pulled him into a tight hug "Its alright…it'll be alright…you don't have to cry."

And they sat there, together, Canada listening to the others quiet cries. They stayed like that for a long while until Russia's sobs died down to sniffles and hiccups. Canada patted his shoulder and looked over at him, he had to know why the other had a sudden outburst "Hey, Russia? Is everything okay?" Russia sniffled and rubbed at his eyes and said "I…I keep having nightmares…they are really scary…." He sniffled "and they happen every single night…and, and" he looked away his eyes locked on the ground as he took in a shaky breath, bracing himself for what was to come "And I'm terrified of the dark…." And with that Ivan squeezed his eyes shut and covered his ears in ear of Canada laughing at him.

But instead, Canada simply smiled and ruffled his mouse colored hair. Russia looked up with large red tinted eyes, which welded again "Y-Your not laughing?" he squeaked as he removed his hands from his ears. "Why would I? We all fear something and yours is the dark…" he said "and plus, I used to fear the dark too." He said pulling the blankets back "Really?" Russia squeaked. Canada nods and gestures for him to lay next to him, Russia lays down on the left side of the bed with Canada to the right of him.

Russia thanked him and snuggled close to the Canadian "Though I have to admit…when I was scared of the dark when I was little." He said with a light chuckle.

Russia turned away, his belly had a ashamed sinking feeling. Canada noticed and quickly said "But your childlike…so I'm not surprised." Stated Canada as he got up to turn on the bathroom light.

"Is that better?"

"Da…"

"Good night"

"Spokoio nochi"

And after those exchange of words both nations fell asleep….

The next morning Russia woke feeling great, better than he felt in years! He sat up with a yawn and looked around the room, the events off last night came flooding back to him ten- fold! "I just gave away my dark secret!" he thought frantically. "But he didn't laugh at me…so maybe I can trust him…." He thought as he looked over to the right only to notice the other wasn't there, Russia shivered and go out of the bed going straight for the restroom.

After relieving himself and washing his hands, Russia headed downstairs. The first thing he noticed was, no Canada, the second thing was the little polar bear eating a fish, Russia approached Kumajiro and nelt in front of him rubbing his head, the same way he would do Anya his cat.

"Hey there, how are you?" he asked sounding friendly. The bear looked at him and replied "I'm good…."

"Where's Canada?"

"Who?"

"Your master?" sighed Russia understanding how Canada feels.

Kumjiro just stared, Russia gave another sigh and was about leave when Kumajiro stopped him. "Hmm? What is-" Russia was caught off by the little animal shoving his hand into its mouth.
