I don't own Hetalia okay? I don't have much to say but hold onto your heartstrings. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!
October 1st 1918
(From the diary of Natalya Jones nee Arlovskaya)
Big brother is gone. And Matthew and Fredka are right. No amount of beheading of that French officer would ever bring him back. All I can do now is cry. Cry like a little girl. Fredka is here telling me it will be alright and stroking my hair but I do not wonder if he is trying to comfort himself as well. He nearly beat up that British Colonel until Matthew pulled him off after giving that same officer a stare himself. Apparently he had a grudge against him from his time in the military. Those European officers then went back to the Oceanside where they are staying until they go back to that forsaken land. I thought that Vanya would come back okay. I thought no one would attack the medical corps. But these are those Germanic huns after all. Major Bonnefoy said that they were making headway and the krauts should sign a treaty any day now. They've been saying nonsense like that since 1914. So one will forgive me for not believing that man who smells like cheese, wine and failure.
Tomorrow we must do some final arrangements, pick the plot and marker and prepare for Vanya's funeral. December 30th 1886 to September 15th 1918. He would have been 32 this year. He is two years older than Fredka and he turned 30 back in July, I 27 back in August. God Katyusha will be 37 and she is still unmarried. I do think she and Matvey may be developing feelings, but that may just be me being hopeful for her. She does now have a house. Vanya has come home. It's like the old stories of genies I guess. You must be careful what you wish for. Matthew will look after the children while we handle the funeral arrangements. Said it was only appropriate that Vanya's more direct family be there. I know Fredka is doing the best he can as he was Vanya's best friend. Those two were close as you could be. Practically brothers. He's a good husband. I'm glad I married him. If I didn't, I don't know where I would be right now. I guess it was like Vanya said when we first met, he is a good loyal and protective man even if he can be a little childish at times. But that childishness isn't visible now. What I wouldn't give to have some of that carefree nature like Nikolai has again right now.
So how was that? Good? Bad? Shot? Long? Sad? Let me know in a review. I don't have much else to say here so remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
