Hey! So I'm gonna skip a lot of time and relieve myself a pain in the ass. And thus, this will be crappier yet.

It's now 9:00. We'd been trapped indoors all day and barely anything electronic worked. I'd convinced Russia to let me test my strength and found out that I'm a lot healthier than estimated. Of corse we'd shared our little semi-romantic moments together, but every time we'd have one, one of us would do something creepy. As much as he turned me on, he also turned me off.

Presently, we sat together in an easy chair, me sitting on his lap reading a book out loud. I was finishing up the scene where the guy asks the girl out when Russia stopped me.

"Hey," He said.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"I love you," Russia said.

"I…I love you too…" I slowly said back.

We joined in for a kiss just as a loud crash was heard outside.

"W-what the hell was that?" I asked franticly, jerking my head towards the noise.

"Probably a chunk of ice or a tree," Russia nonchalantly said.

Wow. I can't believe he's that calm. Must've happened before. Right then, the power went out. I shrieked and my companion shushed me, stroking my hair. We got up and went to go get flash lights.

"This will be a nice spot to sit down while it's storming up there," Russia said sitting on a bench in what appeared to be a medieval torture chamber.

"How romantic," I mused.

He giggled and said, "I know, right?"

Spending hours sitting next to someone in a weird basement can really lead to you getting to know each other. This man…he really broke my heart. And he also scared me shitless when he was talking about his younger sister Belarus and her reaction to our feelings. But I can only assume that she's like that from the heart wrenching tales of their horrendous childhood.

By the time he'd finished, Russia had his head against my bosom and had tears in his eyes. I didn't know what to say, so I let him cry and stroked his hair, kissing his head gently, as not to startle him.

"I…" I managed to choke out eventually.

"Hm?"

"I…love you…so much…"

"I love you too, and don't ever let me go…because I'll never let go of you," Russia said both quietly and strongly.

"I never will. I promise."

Well! I believe that's it for this one! So I'll put it as complete in till I (or you) say otherwise! But I'm planning to make a sequel to this (and title ideas? I'll give you credit!), so if you liked this, stay tuned! And I'd like to apologize for having so many short and crappy chapters. Flame me if you wish, but only flame me for that. Please R&R! See you next time,
