I do not own Hetalia, okay? I know it has been a while since I updated this fic, but I do plan to have this story go to the end. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
June 1st, 1919
(From the diary of Katyusha Braginsky)
It was so good to see Vanya smile today. The fact Nikolai made him so happy made me feel so much better. I still believe one day his spine will heal. I keep trying to get him to go to a doctor that I know that uses an Xray machine. I don't know why Vanya won't do it. I want to know if his spine is fractured to know what is going on. Soft tissue injury won't show and then it would mean likely that it might have to be a little while longer for it to heal and he may be able to walk again. I pray every day that he will be able to walk. I have asked Matvey if he had seen anything like that, and he didn't know any himself. But he didn't say it wasn't a possibility.
Seeing how he and Fredka were with Nikolai warmed my heart that indeed what we have been telling him might be sinking in, we don't care about his injury and his niece and nephews love him. I must admit however, I do hope that something can work so that Matvey and I can be together ourselves more often. I often feel guilty leaving Vanya alone, as I fear that might make him more and more depressed. Sure, he said that Matvey was a good man, and he is right about that, but I don't want Vanya to think I am leaving him for Matvey and leaving him to his own devices. I have talked about this with Matvey, and he said if we were ever to make this more than what we have, then he would not mind at all helping with Vanya if it needed to be. He's been looking for a decent job that would work with his disability. You honestly do not know it is there unless he told you. Unless it is raining, then it might be a little more noticeable.
I do hope I can convince Vanya to get an Xray done. I will know then that if he has a broken spine or not. I don't think his spine is fractured. I mean an explosion would be more of a concussion injury and I have seen him get up out of the chair just slightly. I told him this and he thinks I am just being hopeful. So, what if I am? I would love for the world to see my little brother be able to walk again. I understand that he may not be as strong, as fast as he was before, but it would mean so much that he could. Nikolai is taking this rather well, as he still has some memories of swimming with Vanya before the war broke out. I could not ask any better of him in this. I do hope today was a sign that his mood is improving and hopefully he will listen to me about seeing a doctor and getting an X ray. Maybe he's afraid of the bad news that might be there? Fear of the unknown?
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. This story is intended to stand independent of both The Longing of the Heart and The Healing of the Heart which this story will have a difference from both naturally. Now if this will be as long as those, that I do not know yet and I won't update as fast as some of the others I have. But anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
