"Canada… Canada… Canada…" Russia repeated his name over and over again. Wondering why he liked it so much. Lithuania sat on Russia's bed side. It's not like he had a choice, Russia told him to stay with him, he needed the company.

"Mr. Russia?" Lithuania tried to get Russia to say something else for once.

"Da?"

"Why did you do that to Canada?"

"Do what?"

"Get his brother mad at him"

Russia looked over at Lithuania, face expressionless. He looked back at the ceiling hands on his chest.

"The more America tries to control Canada, the more he pushes away Matvey from him… and closer to me" He said with a devious child like smile spreading across his face.

Lithuania only stared at Russia. Though, he knew this was true, sort of. America was pretty clingy to his brother and Canada didn't seem to like it, just like Russia didn't like his sis being so clingy. They had that in common.

Lithuania also knew that Russia was in love, but he was debating whether to tell him or not.

"and… Lithuania…" Russia continued, "I have this pain inside of me, it won't let me eat or sleep, but when I'm around Matvey that pain goes away"

Russia raised his hands as if he was trying to touch the ceiling.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, or why I feel like this" Russia pulled his arms towards himself as if he was hugging someone, an imaginary Canada, "but, I want him… I want to keep him to myself for me and only me… I feel so selfish" He then hugged himself, looking lonely and desperate.

Lithuania was glad Russia was in love, but worried for Canada. Knowing Russia he'd probably try anything to have his way and right now what he wanted was Canada, but he knew well enough not to tell Canada at this moment.

Downstairs, Canada, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Latvia and Estonia all sat around the floor in a circle. Poland was using the hair straightener on Canada's hair.

"Since Liet is like, totally busy with whatever, I'll be using you to test my new hair supplies mmkay?"

Canada was silent for a minute until he finally answered Poland.

"Y-yes, it's ok…"

Poland took the hair straightener out of his hair and looked at Canada's face.

"You like, remind me of Liet in a way" No answer "Hmm… Don't let Russia get to you, he's actually very…. Nah he's like totally un cool but still don't let him get to you"

Poland went back to straightening Canada's hair. Canada only stared at the floor.

"Mr. Russia is scary" Latvia said.

Canada looked up at Latvia just waiting for him to say something else.

"U-um, I mean… I'd just tell him the truth about pretty much anything, but I regret it later. Maybe you should tell him how you feel"

…How I feel….. The very image of Russia was glued into his head as the thought about 'how he feels' about him stayed as well.

"Um, so!" Ukraine as always trying to make everything better, jumped in again, "Canada, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Belarus. Why don't we play a game? We will go in the circle pattern we're in ok? I'll ask you a question and you have to answer truthfully. It's like truth or dare but it's just truth"

"That like, sounds cool"

"Ok then! Estonia! What do you… like about this room?" Ukraine clapped excitedly.

"Haha, well, I like the furniture. It's comfortable"

"Alright, Belarus. What do you want most in the world?"

"Brother, to marry me"

Canada almost giggled at this. Poor Russia had it worse with his sibling than Canada did, sort of.

"Ok, Latvia's turn. Is your hair light brown or dusty blond cause, I couldn't ever tell" She giggled.

"Ah, it's blond" Latvia smiled happily.

"Ok. Canada. What is the one thing that you fear the most?"

Canada looked surprised she asked that question. He didn't feel comfortable showing his sad side, so he tried to make it sound a little cheery.

"To be alone…"

Ukraine was amazed at this answer. Her surprised expression turned into a happier one.

"Just like Russia. Wow you and him have some things in common"

Canada was happy to hear this and at the same time he wondered if he should be worried about this.

Ukraine's expression then changed.

"Oh, Hello brother, I didn't see you there"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Russia. He was staring blankly at Canada, but that didn't last long, he soon looked away from him and walked to the opposite side of the room and sat in his chair.

"Hey Liet! Doesn't he look pretty?" Poland said with much joy in his voice.

Lithuania sat next to Canada and looked at him to see what Poland had done. He noticed Canada's hair was completely straight now, no waves.

"Yes, he does" He giggled.

Canada blushed at the comments though, he had a feeling he looked stupid. He would almost always assume the worst.

"Is it that bad?" He asked shyly.

Lithuania stared a little confused at first until he figured out why Canada asked that.

"No, I mean it. You really do look nice with your hair straight. Heh, this coming from a guy as well"

Canada laughed a little embarrassed. He was right though, guys talking about how nice each other hair looks. He figured Poland was getting to them.

"What else do you do?" Russia asked out of nowhere.

"Pardon?"

"what else do you do for Christmas? I feel like we're getting nowhere fast"

"U-um… Well we have the presents and you said you didn't want to decorate so…"

Canada thought about other ways of doing this. Hanging up stockings and putting up a tree would count as decorating. Then he remembered he bought candy canes.

"Do you like candy canes?"

"I never tried one before"

Canada got up and went to get the candy canes. He got two from his room and came back with them.

He gave one to Russia and kept an extra in case someone else wanted one. Apparently someone did. Poland asked if he could have the candy cane, so Canada gave it to him.

Russia put the candy cane in his mouth and bit the curve off.

"They taste better if you suck on them" Canada suggested.

Russia laughed. Canada didn't understand why though. He gave Russia a weird look as if to say 'what's so funny?'.

"That sounds dirty" Russia chuckled.

Canada blushed realizing what he meant.

"Y-You sound like papa now" Canada said trying to look angry at Russia for thinking dirty. He failed to keep the angry face when Russia gave him a dark smirk in return.

Everyone had left for bed. Only Russia and Canada were up and awake. Having so much on their minds neither of them could sleep. Canada sat quietly unwrapping the plastic off the candy cane he got himself. Russia only watched Canada forever keeping his eyes on him. Canada's eyes were the only things that moved looking up at Russia, worried and a little scared. He felt uncomfortable being constantly stared at by someone, someone bigger and very dangerous. He could only imagine what Russia was thinking. He tried to be brave, after all, the guy was only staring at him, but it was the darkness in Russia's violet eyes that was making him feel so insecure about being around him.

The curve of the candy cane snapped off. Apparently, Canada wasn't paying attention while he was unwrapping. He sighed deeply and put one side of the candy cane in his mouth.

Russia grinned at this for some reason. Canada tried not to pay any attention to him. Instead he looked away and continued eating. He then heard shuffles and footsteps coming toward him. When he looked in front of him there was Russia, sitting right in front of him. Canada felt even more uncomfortable than before.

Russia placed a hand on each side of Canada's face and brought it close to his. He bit the other end of the candy cane and grinned bigger. Canada blushed at this. The hands that trapped his head from moving away remained there as Russia began eating the candy cane making his way to Canada's mouth. Once he was only a centimeter away from his lips he could feel Canada trembling. This he enjoyed oh so much.

"Don't be scared" He whispered.

But Canada could only BE scared at this point. What was Russia doing and why? His heart raced due to being so close to him and he himself, still trembling. Russia leaned in closer just about to kiss him, until Canada fainted.

"Ah?" Russia stared blankly at the sleeping Canada that had fallen in his arms. He could only think of this as a cute reaction.

Russia picked up Canada bridal style and carried him to his room. He placed him in his bed and tucked him in. He giggled like a creepy child as he watched Canada's chest move up and down from his light breathing. He took Canada's glasses off and placed them on the tiny table next to his bed, then left to go to his bedroom.

"Ahaha, I got him to fall asleep" He chuckled as he closed the door to Canada's room.
