Here's a Russia one for TooBitter~

You found your friend, Russia, staring out the window at the falling snow. Curious, you walked over and joined him.

"Ivan," You called out to him using his human name. "What are you doing?"

"Hello (Name). Do you like the cold?" You frowned. He didn't answer your question.

"Not really. But the snow's a lot of fun to play with!" You smiled and closed your eyes, thinking back when you made snow angels and threw snowballs. He said nothing, but his face darkened a little, as if he disapproved of your answer. Ivan is the human personification of Russia. The concept confused you when you were first told of it, and it still does. You didn't know what personification meant and Russia sounded like a food to you. Burying your head in your arms, you flash backed to how you ended up living with Ivan in the first place.

Your parents were young when they had you. Wild, inexperienced, they yearn to return to their partying days. You were only three, and could barely recite the alphabet. They left you in front of a bakery without a second thought and left. You stood by the bakery entrance day after day with nothing to eat but the occasional scrap. It was winter and a great snowstorm was raging. The streets bare, save for your tiny shivering form. A tall figure ran over to you.

"Oh you poor thing, where are your parents?" It was Belarus, Ivan's older sister. She picked you up and took you in. That was how you were saved on that harsh winter night.

"(Name), run away with me, da?" Russia's sudden suggestion surprised you.

"Where will we go?"

"Somewhere else. Someplace...warmer." Ivan never liked the cold.

"Okay, if it makes you happy." You would do anything to make him happy. You put on a thick coat, your panda earmuffs, and pulled on your brand new, shiny boots. Ivan held your hand and opened the door. A cold gust of wind hit your face.

"Don't forget to lock the door this time! I don't want to have timeout again because the door flew open and filled the house with snow!" Ivan smiled.

"I did. Let's go." You had trouble trying to walk through the snow. It was easy for Ivan though. He was at least a head taller than you.

"Are we there yet?" You asked after one minute.

"Not quite." Another minute passed and you asked again.

"How about now?"

"We're almost there." He announced even though it's only been three minutes since you started your expedition. Determined, you walked faster with big steps.

"Wo-woah!" You slipped on an icy patch of grass and fell, pulling Ivan down with you.

"Ow.." You rubbed your sore arm. "Sorry, I pulled you down too."

"It's okay. Come on, let's keep walking." He offered you his hand again and you took it.

"Ru-Russia, are w-we almost th-there yet?" You shivered. The bitter cold was really getting to you.

"Are you cold, (Name)?" You nodded. Weirdly, Ivan seemed unaffected by the harsh weather. "Here, we'll share my scarf, da?" He unravelled a part of his precious scarf and tied it around your neck.

"Thank you, Ivan." You smiled brightly. Walking was much more difficult now that you two shared the scarf. If one person walked faster than the other, then that person will be choked by the scarf and the slower person would fall in the snow. It took a lot of team work to reach Russia's destination. The garden shed.

Normally, walking from the house to the shed would take five minutes, max. Due to the snow and windy weather, the trip took fifteen minutes. It felt like hours to you.

"Is this the place you wanted to go?" He nodded and led you inside. It was indeed a warmer place than outside, but cold nonetheless. You sat on the hardwood floor and waited while Russia turned the lights on. From the corner, he picked up a pot, and took it over to show you.

"This is a sunflower. It's pretty, da?" You nodded, smiling a bit more. Russia always talked about these, no matter what season it was. He promised that he would show you one someday.

"One day, I want to live in a warm place filled with sunflowers! I hate the cold. There's always war at my place ever since I could remember. I want to live somewhere happy, and bright, with lots and lots of sunflowers!" He paused and smiled at you. "I've always been lonely. I had big sister...and Belarus," He shuddered. "but they weren't always around. Until big sister brought you in, (Name)!" You smiled sadly and hugged Ivan.

"When you move to that warm place...can I come with you?"

"Of course!"

"Yay!" You giggled, kissing his cheek.

"That sound you just made.."

"You mean this?" You giggled again. He nodded.

"It makes me happy." Once more you giggled and your eyelids started to droop. It was warm inside the shed and being so close to Russia. You felt sleepy. Just before falling into a deep slumber, you heard someone whisper.

"When you get older (Name), become one with me, da?"

-Extended Ending-

Sunshine. Lots and lots of Sunflowers! You were having the best dream of your life...until a bucket of snow was dumped over your yellow wonderland. You woke up in shock. You were wrapped up in bunches of blankets and comforters. Russia, who was right next to you, woke up due to your sudden action.

"Is something wrong, (Name)?"

"I was dreaming about a place with pretty sunflowers..and then..and then..it was destroyed!" You sniffled.

"It's okay," Ivan said. "I'l bring you lots and lots of sunflowers!" He enveloped you in a warm hug, just as his older sister Ukraine walked in.

"Um...hot chocolate, anyone?"
