Canada could not believe the words that came out of Russia's mouth. His eyes grew and his jaw dropped. Was he serious? Was he really going to break up with him? Russia gave Canada his towel and walked off to the change room. Canada just stood there, holding the towel in his hands. Tears streaming down his face. No, this can't be happening… He can't…

"Well, that was easy" America said, "Hey bro you're free now from tha-"

Suddenly Canada struck America making him fall to the floor. Everyone was even more shocked than ever, especially America. Never before have they seen Canada get so mad.

"M… Mattie! What, was that for?"

Canada ignored his brother as he wrapped the towel around his waist and chased after Russia.

"Ivan!" He shouted, "IVAN!"

He looked around desperately, but Russia was gone. The tears in his eyes made it a little hard for him to see. He fell to the floor and hugged himself as he cried non stop.

"Ivan… Come back" He whimpered quietly.

:::

After everyone was dressed, Canada looked around the camp for Russia. To every place that brought back his happy memories, to places where they hadn't shared any memories with, and probably won't anymore.

"Ivan! Please, come out!"

After he had searched everywhere he could, he finally gave up. Ivan… I was so happy with you… He thought, sorrow filling his eyes, Maybe… it's for the best… Canada wiped away the tears, then headed back to the bed room. On his way there he bumped into England.

"Oh Sorry Matthew" England said.

"N…no, it, it was my fault"

Canada looked at England only for a second before walking away.

"Wait"

Canada looked back at England with puppy dog eyes.

"Uh, I'm sorry that this makes you upset but, America was just trying to protect you. I mean you have to realize that Russia is not to be trusted"

Canada said nothing like he was waiting for him to say something truthful.

"I'm sorry Arthur… I need to be alone…"

Canada continued walking. Maybe we weren't meant to be… Maybe it just wasn't right. Then,Canada stopped where he was staring at a flower field that Callethy probably planted. He entered it walking by all the flowers until he reached the one that caught his eye. A sunflower, Ivan's favourite. Everyone knew that was his favourite flower. I don't care though… He thought as he picked the sunflower out from the ground I want to be with him…

"I envy you…" He said to the sunflower, "…If I were a sunflower, then I would be Ivan's favourite…"

He took the flower holding it in his hand as he went to the bed room. He entered. It was empty. Everyone must be at tonight's kiss test. Canada didn't want to go, it didn't matter much to watch love without his lover. He went over to his bed and crawled onto it. He held the sunflower close to him.

He couldn't sleep though no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't fall asleep. He turned on his back and stared at the ceiling, but that only reminded him of the Romeo and Juliet conversation they had.

"Ivan…"

The words from that day came back to him, 'It's kind of like Romeo and Juliet, eh?', 'Da, but we won't die'.

"Then why, why do I feel like I have died…"

Canada knew he shouldn't dwell on this, but his heart, it hurt him so much. He couldn't ignore it. Not only that, but everything reminded him of Russia.

Canada looked at the score board, the numbers were decreasing every second. He didn't care though.

"Canada?" A voice called.

Canada looked over to where the voice came from to see Callethy standing beside his bed.

"We're going to do the love laps. Come on"

Canada nodded and got out of bed following Callethy to the track. Once he was there he spotted Russia standing in the place he was supposed to. Canada did the same. Russia looked at Canada surprised, but why? Oh right! Canada had forgotten he was holding the sunflower still. He looked at it and then at Russia. He saw Russia's expression change from surprise to determination. Canada gulped. Russia was probably mad he picked a sunflower out of the ground and wanted to kill him for it. Canada always did mess up no matter what happened or where he was. Maybe that was why Russia broke up with him. The whistle suddenly blew and everyone dashed off, especially Canada. Russia was running hard and fast. Canada knew for sure Russia was mad. Maybe his family was right, he was evil. Canada tried to run as fast as he could but Russia, this time, ran faster. Canada pushed to his hardest to run faster than he'd ever ran before, but Russia just picked up his speed, determined to catch him. Is he really this mad at me! I didn't mean to make him upset! Finally Russia caught Canada quickly snatching the back of his sweater and pulling him towards him, making Canada yelp. Russia wrapped an arm around him making sure he didn't go anywhere. Canada shut his eyes awaiting the rage and fury from Russia. Russia took the sunflower from Canada and stared at it.

"Why do you have this?"

"I'm sorry"

"Answer me Matvey…"

'I… I-I missed you"

Russia sat down bringing Canada with him and placed the flower on the safe side of the track where no one would trample it.

"You, missed me?"Russia asked as he turned Canada around, "Matvey, Are you afraid of me?"

"Y…Yes, a little"

"Then why do you want me?"

"I love you…" That one slipped out. Canada didn't mean to be so honest so quickly, but something wanted him to say that.

Russia's face read confusion as he stared at his previous lover. There was silence between them, Canada did not know how to respond to this one and he knew Russia didn't know either.

"You two can go in and sleep now" Callethy shouted.

Russia picked up the sunflower and Canada and put him over his shoulder as he walked back to the bed room.

"W-Wait! I-I can walk back, really!"

"нет, I won't let you go anywhere right now without me"

"B-But why?"

Russia said nothing as he entered the room and made his way to their bed. Once there, he dropped Canada on the bed. Canada stared at Russia with a worried face.

"Tell me, would you still love me if my sister tortured you until you scream for mercy?"

Canada sat up and answered.

"Yes… I-I would, why?"

Russia sat on the bedside and looked at Canada expressionless.

"Because, after seeing how your family acts, I was reminded of Belarus and how much she wants you dead. I thought breaking up with you would save you…"

Canada's sympathetic eyes told Russia this was not what he wanted.

"Also, I do not want you to be afraid of me, Matvey. You should know I will not hurt you"

Canada didn't really know what to say to that, but he knew what he had been wanting to say since earlier on.

"Russia, I love you, and… I, I don't want to lose you just because our family doesn't agree. I don't care if your sister threatens to throw me in a volcano, I just want to be with you! A-Also, I'll do it!"

"Uh? Do what?"

"I won't be afraid of you, I promise! I'll give you this sunflower, I… I'll give you everything even if I have to steal it, just… please" Canada said as he grabbed Russia's coat showing his apologetic face, "…Don't leave me…"

Russia stared curiously at the most saddest face he had ever laid eyes on. Canada stared back waiting for an answer. Nothing still, He looked away.

"You really, want to put yourself in danger just to be with me?"

"…Yes… You must think I sound desperate… don't you" Canada said sorrowfully, "I-I'm sorry, I can ju-"

Canada paused as he felt Russia's hands placed on his face making Canada look up at him.

"You are very foolish Matvey, I do not want Belarus to kill you"

"I don't care, I told you" Canada put his hands on Russia's and kept them there, "…Don't you love me?"

Russia smiled gently.

"Close your eyes"

Canada blinked a couple times before doing what he was told.

Just then Russia pressed his lips against Canada's. Canada opened his eyes and took his hands off Russia's in surprise. Canada felt the butterflies return, his heart only ached a little. Only aching because he wanted more. Yes this is what he wanted; this is the only thing he wanted. Canada kissed Russia back much more deeply than he thought he could. Russia's eyes shot open, but soon closed again as he did the same. Russia ceased the kiss and look into Canada's eyes.

"Da, I do love you"

Canada couldn't help but smile. He crawled close to Russia and hugged him tightly.

"D-Does this mean, you'll stay with me?"

"Da" Russia said as he hugged Canada back.

Everything was back to normal again, everything back to bliss, but Canada wanted to make sure it would last forever.

"Ivan?"

"Da?"

Canada stopped hugging Russia and looked up at him. He held out his pinky and stared at him trying to look serious.

"Pinky swear that we'll always be together, or at least as long as we're interested in each other…"

Russia stared at his pinky curiously then smiled.

"This is kind of child like" He said with a chuckle. He wrapped his pinky around Canada's to guarantee that he meant what he said, "I could never be un-interested in you"
