It was day three now in this house and it still hurts for Prussia to talk. He was chained to the bed with the needle stuck in his skin again, and he was bored. Communicating was going to be tough. He noticed that the bag was almost gone now. It's just a matter a time before...

"Prussia!" Of course. "How are you feeling?" Russia asked. Prussia just stared at him with a slightly angry face, as if he should know already.

"You're going to have to tell me so I can know..." Russia tilted his head a little.

Prussia turned his back facing the larger country. He tried to fall asleep, despite the other being there.

"You've been sleeping a lot since you got here." Russia slipped the needle out of the smaller nation. "Then again, I've noticed from time to time that you would always have bags under your eyes. Do you usually suffer from insomnia?"

Prussia shrugged. 'If that's what you wanna call it, I guess.' He thought to himself.

"That's not healthy..." Russia pushed the IV out of the room. "Now then!" Ivan pulled out a thermometer from his jacket. "Open wide!" Prussia decided to ignore him. "I'm not taking those cuffs off of you until you obey." To this, he just sighed and opened his mouth a little. It wasn't like it would kill any body to get his temperature taken.

Russia stuck the metal tip under the other's tongue. "Good boy. I'll be right back~!" With that, he skipped out of the room. Prussia slumped on the pillow while waiting. He wanted to get better soon so he could leave and- hopefully- talk to his brother.

Russia returned with an unopened bottle of orange liquid in hand. Prussia guess it was cold medicine. The thermometer beeped, and the Russian took and looked at it. "Your fever is getting slightly better, but just in case, I got Lithuania to buy some medicine for you. It should especially help with your throat."

The plastic was removed from the bottle, then the plastic cup covering the cap, which was soon filled with the contents in the bottle. "Drink up, if you wanna get your hands free." He brought the little cup to the other's lips.

Prussia willingly took it down his throat. He didn't really enjoy the taste, but it was helping his throat. His wrists were free soon after all of the medicine went down. Not caring what the Russian thought, he got out of the bed to make his way to the bathroom.

When he came back out, he saw the Russian lying on his bed. "You didn't vomit this time. That's good. Get better soon, okay? I want you to join us for meals and explore around the house to get to know it." Russia got off of the bed, so Prussia filled it right away.

"I think I'll get either Lithuania or Estonia to make some tea for you. Have fun being alone until then!"

Prussia closed his eyes as soon as he heard the door shut behind the Russian. He wanted to take a nap while he could.

Russia, after "asking" the Estonian for tea, found Latvia by Prussia's bedroom.

"Latvia~!" He called out. The small nation jumped in surprise.

"Да, сэр?"*

"What are you doing?" Russia put his hand on Latvia's head, pushing it down.

"I-I was going to ch-check on Prussia... Sir..."

"Did I ask you to do that?"

"N... N-N-No... Sir... But I-" He was smacked by Russia. Latvia barely kept his balance. "Мне очень жаль, сэр! Но я закончил дома..."* He screamed.

"Don't you ever go in there without my permission. Понял?"*

Latvia nodded his head quickly and shakingly. "Да, в России, сэр!"*

"Хорошо!* Now then... Why don't we check on the German?" Russia wrapped his arm around the smaller one's shoulders.

"Prussia!" Russia called out when he opened the door with his free hand.

Prussia groaned quietly and turned his body so he was facing the other two. At least it was a nice nap while it had lasted.

"Don't you want to say something to Latvia?" The smaller nation was shaking like a shaved rabbit in the cold.

Prussia took this chance to jot down some things on a piece of paper. When he finished it, he handed the paper over to Latvia. It read-

'I didn't mean to hurt you. I just really didn't want to eat- especially if that bastard commie made it. It looks like it didn't leave any scars on you, so that's good. So... I'm sorry.'

"Do you forgive him, Latvia~?"

The Lavian nodded, making Russia's smile even wider. "You are such a kind boy." He placed his hand on the smallest one's head again.

"Breaking you may be very hard. Much harder then this little one was." Russia said out of the blue. "But hopefully you'll be easier to build up into something perfect faster than this one." Latvia wondered quietly what the large man meant by that.

Prussia angrily wrote- 'You will NOT break me!' and handed it to the Russian, who simply crumpled it up- already knowing what it would say, and tossed it aside.

"At least you look at me in the face. Little Latvia was never very rebellious. He was always shy and meek, but it wasn't until recently that he would look at me more often than not." Russia's hand left the small boy to walk towards Prussia. "And do you know what I had to do to get him to look at me?" He grabbed the platinum hair's chin.

"I had to remind him how safe he is with me. I had to tell him about the millions upon millions of people you and your little brother killed."(1) Latvia turned his head away with wide eyes.

"Don't touch me!" Prussia screamed, turning his head away from the grip.

"Don't touch you?" Oh, Prussia..." The large nation chuckled. "The touching has just begun!"

"What?" Prussia screamed before coughing violently.

Russia continued. "But I'll put it on pause for now. 'Don't want to get sick, after all!"

"Wha...?" Latvia asked without thinking. "I-I mean..." He mumbled quietly.

"What was that, Latvia?" The Russian turned his attention towards the smaller nation.

"N-Nothing, сэр."

"No. You definately said something. What is it?"

"Are, um... Are you... Um..." Latvia's whole body was shaking violently again. "Can I ask you later... Alone?"

To hearing this, Russia's smile spread even wider than Latvia has ever seen it. Of course, he didn't look at the Russian's face very often, but that smile on Russia's face was very, very wide.

"Of course, Latvia!" Russia chimed excitingly. He walked over to grab Latvia over his shoulders again.

"You sound good, Prussia." Russia quickly said before leaving, passing Estonia in the process.

"How long have you been here, Estonia?"

"Not very... I mean, the tea is still warm enough." He stared at Latvia, who stared back at him.

"Okay. Just give him the cup and continue with your chores. I'm a busy man, after all."

'Busy with what?' Estonia wondered after both Russia and Latvia left him with Prussia.

I'm planning on making this a LONG fic!

Not as long as a day a chapter... I'll skip around some. Otherwise, I would be writing around 10,220 chapters, and that's excluding leap years!
