HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

Chapter Ten: One more Game and The First Day of Meetings…

Rain was pouring itself on taller Alfred's body, wetting the uniform he was wearing. The sky was dark with a murky gray color that was holding the water. Taller Alfred was looking at another man, who's skin seemed to be steaming as the rain hit him. Little Alfred, the one watching this dream, looked at the other people who seemed to be playing a role in this battle or confrontation.

Alfred saw himself talking to the other man, who was clearing holding himself from the pain. Little Alfred could not understand what the other him was saying, but whatever seemed sad- apologetic. The man who older him was talking to was a man who a shorter then older him, a good few inches. He had black hair, dull brown hair, pale skin, a white uniform and a sword by his side. Along with those to adults was a few others, four that look familiar to him.

He noticed Toris and Raivis, and another man who he did not know, standing behind Ivan, who had a face of pleasure mixed with shock. The other was the mad man from his nightmares in the Maze, though he did not look so terrifying in his green uniform. There was also a blond man who looked along exactly like the Older and Younger him. Little Alfred counted twelve adults, in total, standing in the rain, all with faces of depression.

Little Alfred finally began to hear sound- the voice of himself- apologizing to the shorter man for something that must have been horrible. The sound of the other's yelling at him soon began to take up the sound, along with the rain and crying of a brunet, who was holding on to another man behind the black haired man. Little Alfred could not understand all of the exact words that were being yelled, but he did know they were not good.

"Japan…Kiku… I warned you…" Taller Alfred said, this was something that the smaller him did understand. The man he was addressing, Japan-Kiku, was the man in the white uniform.

"I did not want it to come to this-" Taller him tried to explain before he looked away and touched something on his left shoulder, something that must have been painful to him. The taller him was the first of twelve to shed a tear, showing that he was upset at actions taken upon him or done by him. Little Alfred place his hand in the exact place where his older self did, and shockingly he felt something a bit out of place there. A Scar.

"I did not want to go to war… yet you pushed me into this….It's your fault" Taller him gave a few more tears, showing an expression of thought. Little Alfred seemed to have heard two words- ones the others seemed to have ignored. 'Pearl Harbor'

Taller Alfred called the scar ,that he shared with little Alfred, Pearl Harbor; which was still unknown by the smaller boy. The man known as Kiku looked down, not wanting to say anything to upset anyone any farther. Taller Alfred took his gaze off of Kiku and looked at the other people with a venomous glare, even Little Alfred's beloved Ivan and his two fidgety friends. Was this the future? Alfred did not want to hate Ivan in the future and he defiantly did not want to go into any type of war.

Taller Alfred finally turned back to Kiku and gave him, and his two friends, a final glare. "That weapon was meant for your surrender…" Taller Alfred said, Kiku gave a scowl.

"At the cost of the life of my people? Is it their Blood that you want?" Kiku yelled, startling the other men and Alfred. Taller Alfred did not seem to moved or even show fear, only determination. "I did not want to use it, don't you understand that?… I just wanted this damn war to be over with" Older Alfred said calmly.

"I was not the one seeking a fight, Japan" Taller Alfred's voice had turned icy cold as he said that. Japan had this look, one of guilt and shame. Taller Alfred passed on glares to the other nations, who also had guilt on their faces. "I was trusted into a pointless war, just because you are all too selfish to just be happy with what you already have" Taller Alfred said, before walking away and rain consuming the world. Making everything blurry and taking away the world that Alfred had… Leaving only the colors of the Taller him, walking away, and cursing everyone under his breath.

"This is why I hate everyone" Taller Alfred's voice echoed softly, coaxed with a sweet after tone and yet venomous feeling to it as well.

Alfred's eyes fluttered open as the sun's rays danced through the windows and onto his face, which had been bothering him enough to wake him. He pushed his body into an upright position, trying to get out of the sleeping mode he was in. He looked around the room a few times, just so the waking motion would help his mind jump into working mode rather than sleeping.

The first thing he noticed was that Ivan was not in bed, second was that he was dressed in a very large night shirt and Raivis was sitting in a chair by the door, reading a book. He noticed that some paper work sat on top of the book Ivan had given him to read, it was a school book that was printed in English. Alfred groaned and decided moved himself and noticed a horrible, nasty, feeling around his thighs. He swung his legs from under the covers and let them dangle on the side of the large bed. He slipped a hand to feel what it was and he felt his skin feeling not as smooth as usual. He thought about what it could possibly be, and it did not take the boy long to realize that it needed to be cleaned off. He yawned as he stretched his arms out, which helped him wake up better.

Alfred hopped off the bed and made his way to the bathroom, wanting to take a shower and clean off the sticky surface that coated his skin. He did not say a word to Raivis, over even hear one from him, but he walked into the bathroom and started the water the same way as he observed Ivan do before. He felt the water to make sure it was just right, but he let it get to hot. He stripped his shirt and slipped into the water, letting out a hiss of pain as his cold skin made contact with the steaming water. He heard Raivis get up and walk closer to the bathroom, but did not ask Alfred he was okay.

Alfred ducked under the water and just let his lower half get wet, his skin started to turn a bright pink as the heat warmed him. He sat up and began to clean himself, especially his lower regions. Alfred felt happy as he finished successfully cleaning his whole body, knowing he was going to look and smell good for the meeting that Ivan said he was bringing him to. He felt chill rush down his back as he imagined what kind of meeting he was bring Alfred to, and if he was going to make Ivan proud of him.

Alfred closed his tied eyes and smiled to himself, playing out a scenario of how he was going to impress Ivan. He imagined that he would do an amazing job at whatever the meeting was about and he would Ivan so proud that he would smile and be extremely happy. Deep down he wanted to make Ivan happy.

Alfred's eyes fluttered open and began to think about the drink that he had, it being even weirder then the ones he had recently. He could not even remember the words that were said in his dream, but he did remember that there was talking. He looked into the water intensely as he began to struggle to think about what was said. Just one thing, that is all he wanted to remember, just one thing that was said in his dream. He remember the taller him touching his shoulder, but he could not remember which side.

Alfred looked on both of his shoulders, wondering if he would be able to see it. He saw a slight paler discoloration on his left shoulder, it was almost weird that he had never realized it was there before. It was not big, but it was still there in the first place, and he did not know where it could have possibly come from anyway. Alfred gave a struggled look as he strained his mind to think of what taller him called it.

Alfred sighed and let it pass over his mind, not wanting to get a headache from thinking about something that was probably not important. Alfred let all distress melt away and he began to relax in the cooling water.

Ivan pulled up to the conference building, ready to take on the other nations in a very loud and stressful world conference. He predicted that this World Meeting would almost be as bad as the time when Ludwig, Germany, declared war again, thus officially starting World War II. He knew people were nervous, he could already tell that from the events in the hotel, and he knew that England would be the one dead on his heels about Alfred. Ivan slipped his hand into his coat and pulled out a flask of vodka, taking one large sip before be entered the building.

Ivan had woken up to find Alfred in his arms with dried semen on his legs, and Ivan did not remember that he had come in there or watched Alfred pleasure himself. He felt so horrible when he woke up that he wanted to make sure Alfred was taken care of and kept happy. He thought that the two had done something instead of Alfred giving him a show, and Latvia did not even bother relieving his mind from the guilt.

After he made sure Alfred had everything he needed, including Latvia to watch over him, Russia left his home without even showering before the meeting. He got to the meeting hours before he needed to be so he ended up heading to the liquor store and then the a small café for breakfast. He got to the building with an hour to spare, which he spent inside of the actual conference room.

When he got inside he noticed some two was already there, which was Switzerland and Liechtenstein, and they did not bother each other. Liechtenstein did wave and say Good morning, but was her brother pulled her hand down and it seemed to silence the younger blond. Russia took his seat at his chair and just reviewed over the papers in his folder, making sure that he had the right papers for the right subjects. He reviewed them until the room began to fill with other nations, which in result he closed the folder and put on his 'innocent' smile.

The first person he got a look from was from the first person to walk in, who was the ever so gentlemanly England, and he was followed by two pissed blond nations, France and Canada. Russia cracked an amused grunt as the three sat down and began to glare holed into the Russian, especially Canada. The room began to fill with other nations, which signaled the meeting was starting in just a few seconds. The glares were merciless and cruel, but this only pleased the power hungry Russia.

Russia stood up and smiled his fake smile, closing his eyes to not make eye contact, and held up his arms to welcome his guest. "Welcome, Everyone slept well, da?" he asked, but no answer was returned to him. Normally he would have felt hurt, but today was different! He had the letters from America's boss and he had all the proof and paperwork he needed to prove his new found land came willingly.

"Shall we begin? I am sure many of us have questions" Russia offered, looking at the one man who usually took a good hold on the World Meetings. Germany sighed and nodded, standing up from his spot between Austria and Italy. He took a deep breath, grabbed his papers, and walked up to the podium at the front of the room. "Before we begin I would like to ask all Nations to please wait your turn, do not yell, and please- no violence this time" Germany said, stating the same thing he did ever meeting.

"Is there any 'extremely important' matters we should take care of first?" Germany asked and looked out at all the others, who were shooting hands up like crazy to get their country business done with first. Germany noted that Russia just sat in his chair and looked at something in his File, which Germany was able to tell it was a photo of some kid.

"Alright then" Germany said before choosing who would come up first and present, complain and rant utter nonsense. "Austria, you can go first." Germany said, hands went down and Austria stood up. Walking with his papers and showing his best manners and his strict poise. German sat back down in his seat and got a sweet attack by Italy, with a big hug of course. He sighed, knowing it was going to be another long meeting for the nations.

A few hours passed, they ended up having a lunch break, they had a few more presentations and soon Ivan made his way to present. As soon as he stood up he was shot dark glares from his fellow nations and from America's family. He placed his papers down and opened his folder slowly, taking his sweet time to build suspense from the others. If the loud America was here then he would have gotten yelled at to hurry and probably given a few insults. It made Russia smiled as he thought about his darling Alfred, and everyone who saw him display this smile only got shivers from the seemingly random smile.

"Before I start, is everyone feeling healthy?" Russia asked his quest, suspicion rang in his words. He did not blame anyone for being on their toes around him, especially now that he had America's recourses added to his own. Russia knew that everyone here knew he could almost effortlessly take over their land and kill everything and everyone.

"Yes, in fact I have been feeling very relaxed and satisfied since I've been here" England said with a dark tone added to his accented voice, though no one knew why . Russia and England glares both met, colliding and crashing as their minds both knew what England was talking about. The Russian was tempted to jump across the table and strangle England to death, he wanted no one talking about his little America.

"I am glad, England. Just make sure you keep safe to enjoy it more" Ivan replied to the green eyed nation, knowing what it was that 'relaxed and satisfied' the man. It was sickening to Russia, but he felt his guilt hit him when he thought about last night, still unsure about what happened last night.

"Thank you for your concern." England ended all he wanted to say for now, after all he was just waiting for the others to mention the concurring of America. Russia looked at his first page and smiled wickedly at the others, he was ready to raise hell.

"I can tell any of you are tiered from all the matters we covered today, but I think it is time we stop ignoring what I know what you are all worried about" Russia said as he unclipped the first page from the paperclip and placed in front of him for easy access. "I have decided to help Amerika with his economy and the entire way his country runs" Russia said flatly, explaining the basics of what he was doing and planning on fixing forever.

"So you lied to us when you said you did not know where he was!" France stood up and yelled at Russia, still extremely pissed about his baby brother being taken away from him. Eyes shot from Russia to France, noticing the anger that he admitted and the sadness in his sky blue eyes. France was not know to be out spoken, and if being for America was even odder. Next to France sat Canada, who's face was buried in his bear's fur, crying and slightly mumbling curses about Russia. Next to Canada was Cuba who just patting his friend on the back, even though he personally hated America. Russia's smiled had died as the voices of others began to over run and this kept him from talking about other issues. People were standing up and shouting about how they felt threaten to Russia and how would this effect their economy.

"Everybody Sit down and Shut up!" Germany yelled, causing everyone to stop and sit back down in silence. It was always a sad slap on the wrist when ever Germany got mad and had to yell at them to stop yelling or fighting. "If you have concerns then you will have to wait your turn to complain to Russia!" Germany kept yelling, showing he was in control. Russia's face remained emotionless, which was the worst, and no one could determine what he was thinking or planning.

China stood up and passed Russia a dark and angry glare, making Germany feel uncomfortable and causing him to sit down. "Russia, I refuse to believe America would dare let you take over without a fight. I know America would rather die then give you more power, aru" China stated to the superpower. China was not a close friend with America, but he has been helped out by him on a few occasions and this has formed a small mutual bond between the two.

Russia smiled again, glad he could use his work and make the other nations shiver and quiver with fear with the fact that their hero has given himself up to the taller man. Russia pulled out the top paper and passed it down to China, other nation's eyes widened as they peeked at the paper. It was a form of submission and it had four Signatures on the fine parchment. China took hold of the paper and began to read it, going back a few times to make sure he is understanding it correctly. Even thought he hated to admit it, America had in fact signed an agreement to submit to Russia and let him enforce himself on his people. China felt his respect for America go out the window and die, it seemed like he was a coward to Russia and to the world's struggles.

"As you can clearly see, China, America has in fact given himself to me." Russia said, a few nations felt their hope shatter with in their bodies. They feared that they could not we crushed by Russia, and no one was going to save them from disappearing. "In more ways than one" Russia added with a menacing smirk plastered on his pale face. The statement made a few nations blush, not wanting to know about Russia or America's sex life.

Canada and France almost jumped across the table to kill his bastard who DARE speaks like this about their baby brother. England felt his blood rush and boil, even Japan showed discomfort at the statement about his best friend. China kept a straight face, although he wanted to beat Russia for dare bringing something like that up. Russia kept his smirk on his face as the other nations wiggled in their seats with discomfort.

"Now there are no more questions about Amerika? I would like to get along with some Economics" Russia said, but Italy's hand shot up to ask a question about his friend. Germany was surprised that Italy managed to work up the courage to speak to the much large nation. Russia looked at the northern Italian nation and gave the man a nod to go ahead with his thoughts.

"Where is America? Is he still Alive?" Italy asked with his worried and shaking voice. Canada's eyes widened behind his oval glasses, he had never wanted to hear or to question if his brother was alive or not. And hearing it from someone else just made it much harder to cope with, as if it death had already claimed the blue eyes man.

Russia smiled and made eye contact with Italy, which scared the man even further. "Da, he is Alive a little short on other aspects, but he is alive, now moving on to economics-" he was trying to change the subject so that he could keep their surprise for tomorrow. Italy gave Germany a smile of relief, just to know America was alive made everyone else feel slightly better about the whole situation. Russia had obviously tried to avoid the conversation about where America was now, most had guessed jail, but after that sexual comment that Russia made they were not to entirely sure.

China began to write down all that he heard Russia say, hoping it would help him understand what was about to happen. What did Russia mean by 'short on other aspects'? Did he gauge out America's eyes, so that he could not see his enemies? Or did he saw off his limbs? China felt sorry for America, even though he was not completely fond of him. But it was a misfortune to anyone who had to deal with Russia on their own. China looked at his notes and gave a nod to Sweden, who had been taking mental notes on Russia's words and the others reactions.

The meeting went on as normal meeting did and no talk about America was brought up, not even as Russia was leaving to return to his home. Ivan smiled s he got in his car and began his drive home, he just wanted to see his malyutka and he wanted to hug the boy until the morning. He wondering on what Alfred and Raivis did together while he was at the World Conference.

-PageBreak-

After Alfred got out of the bathtub and dressed in some warm clothes, which Raivis happily picked out, he decided to try and cook him something to eat. Raivis was happy that he was there to watch Alfred attempt to cook, because the kitchen would have caught flames and burnt the house to the ground. Raivis did not want Ivan coming after him and ending up killing him, or at least beating him up until he was unrecognizable.

Raivis ended up making vegetable and meat stew for Alfred and himself, which actually turned out much better then he thought it would have. The two teens ate the stew and talked happily about pointless things such as their favorite color and what season they liked the best. Raivis wanted to asked Alfred about the scene he saw last night and what Ivan ended up doing to him. But he could not bring himself to upsetting the blond if something bad had happened. Raivis noticed Alfred had not bruises or scratched, which meant that Ivan did not hurt him to bad.

After they ate their stew they even back to the bed room, so that Alfred could start and finish whatever work that Ivan had left him. Raivis as Alfred bounce dup and down happily on the soft bed, trying to kill some built up energy. Alfred grabbed the papers and began to read them, wanting to know what his Ivan wanted from him. Raivis looked over from his chair, which was sitting on the other end of the room, and watched as Alfred read the small bundle of papers. It took Alfred two hours to read through the bundle of papers.

Raivis already knew what was on the papers, and soon Alfred knew everything on them as well. They were just rules and some things that Alfred seemed to grasp easily, which was odd because they were things like Economy. Government, and Politics issues. Alfred seemed to understand them and decided to re-read the information again, luckily there was nothing for him to fill out. He stopped in the middle of re-reading it and began to ask questions in his mind. He was confused on how he already knew and understood this stuff, since it seemed like he new heard of it before. He would have to ask Ivan when he got home.

Alfred placed the papers down and looked over at Raivis, who was reading a book in Latvian. He got off the bed and walked up to Raivis, being quiet and scaring the teen from his sneaky approach. Raivis quickly recovered from the surprise attack and he smacked Alfred with his book playfully. The two began to chase each other and smack themselves with books and the room filled with their laughter.

"R-Raivis! Lets go outside!" Alfred laughed out, not wanting to knock over anything important in Ivan and his' room. Raivis nodded and took Alfred's hand, after Alfred managed to grab his coat and boots, and lead him to the cold outside. The two boys burst through the door and ran to the snow covered land, ignoring the cold wind and the lightly falling snow.

The two boys ran around and just threw snowballs at each other. Raivis ended up letting his guard down and got tackled by Alfred, who had hidden behind a tree and waiting for the Latvian teen. Raivis screamed as his body was pushed into the snow by Alfred. He grippe onto Alfred and tugged him down with him, both ended up rolling on the snowy ground.

The two rolled around on the ground until their momentum stopped and they had ran out of energy. Alfred was laying on his back and he looked up to see Raivis on top if him. Alfred and Raivis shared a soft blush, both breathing deeply and looking right into each other's blue eyes. Raivis did not know what over came him, but he lowed himself and kissed Alfred on the forehead. Alfred let out a small gasp of shock from his friend's actions, finding the soft kiss to be both welcomed and sweet.

"Alfre-" Raivis began, but stopped as the car door of Ivan's car was heard from the front yard. Raivis gulped and shot off of Alfred, not wanting to get his face smashed in. Raivis grabbed Alfred's hand and they raced up to the back door, hoping to get inside before Ivan would notice. Raivis was about to open the back door but the door was opened from the inside. By Ivan.

Alfred looked to see Raivis and Ivan just looking at each other, Raivis looked scared to death and Ivan looked to be amused. Alfred ran up to his giant and smiled sweetly, glad to see Ivan home. The tall Russian pushed Raivis out of the way and held his arms out for Alfred. The short American ran into Ivan's welcoming arms and hugged his deeply, loving the feelings of being protected.

"Did you two have a good day?" Ivan asked, kissing Alfred's cheek.

"Da!" Alfred chirped happily, using Ivan's native language. Ivan smiled at the boy's attempt to speak Russian. Ivan gave Raivis a glare, after he notched a barely there damp spot on Alfred's forehead. Raivis moved past Alfred and Ivan, going to hide back under his bed in fear.

"Come on, malyutka, we have a very important day" Ivan said, kissing Alfred again. Alfred and Ivan shared a warm smile, both being for the same thing- but in a way their reasons were different.

Ivan knew tomorrow would start to test Alfred's shortly grown loyalty to Mother Russia. He had no strong reasons to think that Alfred would show defiance or reject him. But Alfred did have a reputation for being very stubborn, but Ivan feels like he's trained Alfred pretty well. He knew Alfred would do anything to make him happy, and visa versa. Ivan did worry about England and the rest of Alfred's friends trying to intervene and causing troubles for him. But there was always a way to shut others up, his favor form was his faucet pipe.

Alfred's reason was because he was excited he was going to do something every important with his beloved Ivan. He could not wait to make him proud, showing him all that he had learned from the papers.

"Lets go" Ivan said before he led Alfred inside to prepare for the next day.
