This is more on Dark Woman America from 'Mix up'. This is technically my first time writing a relationship between two girls that isn't friendship.
Empty Hands
Russia is Innocent, but not Naïve. She knows full well that her Girlfriend is dangerous and powerful, and more than a little bloody, but Russia has always spent her life either under the rules of others or isolated and has spent so much time locked up that she's more than willing to trust that the only person that's ever let her see the world won't hurt her.
Her America is a fighter, stubborn, and more than willing to kill anyone that threatens herself and her allies.
America is also misunderstood, because Russia sees past the way she glares at others and destroys things in rages of temper that she can't quite control. Russia sees how America always has her hands working, holding tools to build and create, pens to write, and even working the dirt in her garden or just simply playing with her dark hair or fiddling with her black cowboy hat.
Sometimes, America comes home angry, but she never hurts Russia, and always makes sure to aim her frustration at something she can't break (which isn't a lot, given her unnatural strength which makes her capable of crumpling steel).
Sometimes, America comes home with work, and doesn't even glance at Russia, even when Russia hugs her (sometimes the hugs make America stiffen, her girlfriend isn't used to affection that isn't asked for, and Russia knows better than to feel hurt when America shrugs her off.)
Lately, though, America comes home almost sad, grabbing Russia in a hug, no matter what the other is doing, and just holding on, burying her face into Russia's neck. Today is another one of those days.
"What's wrong?" Russia asks softly, well aware that America won't answer.
"My hands feel empty." Except this time, America does, and Russia is more than a little confused.
"I don't understand."
"I know." America gently grabs Russia's left hand with her own, interweaving their fingers. They stay like that for a while, before America has to deal with 'that Canadian' (why America can't get along with Canada, is a mystery Russia knows she won't understand, the two have almost the exact same outlook on life and are so similar it's scary) and when she leaves to talk on the phone, Russia goes to cook.
Russia stares at her own hands, which aren't as calloused as America's, and notes that despite holding onto a spoon, they feel strangely empty.
And suddenly Russia gets it, putting down the spoon and going to America, who looks ready to break the phone in her hand. Russia gently wraps one arm around America's waist, and grabs onto her free hand, resting her cheek on America's dark hair. America stiffens at first, but then relaxes into the hold, weaving her fingers with Russia's and gradually stops snapping at Canada as they talk.
Neither America or Russia have ever had a stable relationship with another. Russia has spent her time living like a trophy for the most part, and locked in her own house for the rest (She defaults to those with more experience, she's not naïve, but she's still innocent in dealing with others), and America has always fought to survive (so much so that fighting and snarling insults is her default mode when she ends up in a situation she doesn't understand or like). The rest of the world is sure that they'll break apart.
But America values and guards Russia's innocent nature, and Russia does her best to show America that she doesn't have to fight all the time.
Their hands aren't empty, as long as they can reach out and hold each other.
. . . Yeah, Dark Woman America isn't quite so dark as long as there's something she likes around- basically, as long as she likes you, you're safe, the kicker is getting her to like you, especially if you aren't as sweet as her Russia, or somewhat interesting.
This Russia has been mostly isolationist, (and surprisingly stable) so she's not quite as well, Normal Hetalia Russia-like.
Not the most stable relationship, but it's a whole lot more stable than any of their other relationships.
I don't know about you, but I kinda like these versions of DarkNyotalia America and Russia that I came up with . . .
