Chapter 8: Erosion
HORRABLE FILLER! DON'T READ!
I don't own Hetalia. If I did, there would be a lot more Fluff x Genderbending.
He stared at my bare body, gaping.
I, being an awesome battle veteran, had more scars than he dared ever imagined.
"...I'm surprised that one like you can walk, if these scars hold any indication to your injuries.." He felt my back, leaving a tingling sensation behind.
"You really don't know anything about me, Russia." I said, keeping away from looking into his eyes.
"True enough, da? You have been alive far longer than I." She looked up, slightly startled by the reverence in his voice.
"But that doesn't mean you should get a swelled head about it, Gillian." He pulled out a cat-of-nine-tails, his eyes filled with childish malice.
"Shit."
I didn't scream.
I didn't cry.
I wouldn't do that because I'm awesome. Even if I was covered in cuts and bruises from Russia.
He seemed disappointed by it. "Let this be a lesson to you, Gillian. Do not back-talk me again."
I nodded. I didn't want to be hurt again...
"Another thing; From now on, call me Ivan." He went upstairs, locking the door. I curled up into a ball and slept for a few seconds.. minutes.. it could've been hours...
Lithuania came down with bandages, eventually.
I didn't say anything, though the ointment she put on stung minutely.
The Lithuanian made me get dressed, and acted like I was sick or something.
She tried to get me to come upstairs with her. I didn't want to.
I didn't go.
I sat there, her next to me, in the silent darkness.
"She is coming up soon, da~?"
I shivered violently. My eyes widened in fear.
That Russian officially scared the living hell out of me.
"She's just taking a bit of recovery time..." Lithuania responded.
Russia sounded unhappy. "Three days isn't enough? It usually only took you a few hours.."
Lithuania retorted that everyone's different, promising my recovery soon.
Then he left.
My shivering didn't stop. Lithuania hugged me, but I didn't cry.
I was cold.
Too fucking cold..
I eventually made my way upstairs, but I no longer held my airs.
I was deflated.
But I wasn't going to let anyone know that.
"Latvia, get me that folder, from the top of the pile."
She seemed to not stiffen around me anymore. That was good. "Are these it?"
I smiled sadly as the Latvian handed me the stack. We all had a share of Russia's paperwork. We were his minions after all...
"Danke.." Latvia bowed her head, then sped off. Her paperwork wasn't going to do itself.
It was boring, but it took my mind off of things.
Like how cold it was in Russia.
How much I hurt, from my people's hurt, to the hurt he caused.
How much I missed my bruder.
I'm tired of living... It's already been so long..
...
NO! AWESOME MUST NOT THINK THAT!
But if I'm so awesome, why was I captured in the first place?...
Was my awesome wrong?
Plan A didn't work...
And I don't have any other plans...
I'll just hope life gets better sooner or later...
(Liet's pov.)
I peered at Gillian sadly. Her paperwork was getting done in record time, only further betraying her emotions.
There must be something I can do to help...
I know! Maybe if she comes outside, she'll cheer up!
I'll try my best!
"Gil?" I called softly. She looked up from her paperwork.
"Hmm?" Gillian looked up, red eyes nearly blank.
I came in, holding a list. "Well, I have to go shopping for dinner, and I'm a bit too busy to go myself..."
She seemed interested enough, eyebrows raised.
"So.. could you maybe.. go for me?"
The dull pink her eyes head been only a moment before turned ruby red at the prospect. "Can I?"
I wanted to giggle, but didn't. "Yes."
She was up in a flash, and I gave her the money for the items we needed.
The Prussian looked so happy! I thought I did a good thing!
...Until Russia came to me about two hours later wondering where Gillian was.
"Well, I sent her shopping, because I've been backed up on my paperwork lately..."
He looked like he was about to panic. "No, she will run, or contact her brother..." He readjusted his scarf. "She might leave me.."
Wait. Was Russia growing attached to Gillian?
She looked back with the full intention to ask him, and she just saw the door blur, and his pipe disappear from the umbrella canister.
...?
Filler. FILLER.
I'm so sorry it stunk... but it's filler!
Well now, I feel bad... so here's the first ever Prussia x Germany mad I ever saw!
