"RUSSIA!" Mexico screamed. Blood dripped from the big country's wrist. His eyes were filled with pain and sorrow. He slowly smiled,
"It's okay" he assured her. "I wanted this to happen."
Mexico ran toward him, she feared for him. "NO!"

Mexico jerked awake. She realized it was just a dream and she's still in Russia's house. She turned around to find no Russia beside her. She groggly got up from the bed and stubbed into the living room. She sat there absorbing all that has happened. 'did this really all just happen? Am I in some sort of dream? What's going to happen next?'. As she completed her though, a boy stood in front of her. He appeared to be a little shaky.
" Who are you?" he asked.
"Oh...um...I'm Mexico" she gave him a questioning smile.
"Ooh...I thought you were just some women he brought home"
"What?" tears filled up in Mexico's eyes as she frowned.

Estonia walked into the room holding a tray with hot tea. He noticed right away the sad expression on Mexico's face.
"Latvia! What did you do?" he exclaimed.

"I don't know!" Latvia started to fidget again.

Lithuania entered the room were the commotion was occurring.

"Um...I don't know what's going on but there is blinis for everyone."

"What is a blini?" Mexico asked while following him into the kitchen.

Lithuania blushed, "they are Russian pancakes of course!"

The moment Mexico arrived into the kitchen, a pair of dark blue eyes locked on her. Belarus glared at the newcomer with hatred. Mexico felt unsteady being watched, or even glared at. Mexico stumbled to take a seat next to Ukraine, who was welcoming her with a smile. Lithuania served them all plenty of blinis.

"I'm stuffed!" Mexico pushed her empty plate away from her. "Thanks Lithuania! That was delicious!"

Lithuania blushed, "Th-thanks."

All of a sudden the door swung open and Russia appeared with a huge grin on his face.
"Dobraye utro!" he greeted them.

The Baltics almost immediately started trembling at his presence.

"Buenos dias!" Mexico replied back, not knowing what 'Dobraye utro' ment.

All the other countries turned to her and started in confusion.

"...it means good morning" Mexico shyly rubbed the back of her head.

"Mexico!" Russia gave her a big hug that she could barely breathe from. "Can you come with me for a bit?"

She looked at him in confusion, "S-sure?"

Russia took ahold of her hand and lead her out of the room. Belarus got up and tried following them but Ukraine pulled her back and shaked her head at Belarus.

Mexico and Russia walked into his room, Mexico tilted her head in curiosity as he opened his closet. He bent over and opened a door within his closet. He gestured Mexico to follow him. Mexico, who was surprised, obeyed. They both went into the door, there was a hallway in it. It was completely dark in there, Mexico couldn't see a thing. She started to get scared and she searched to Russia by moving her arms around. A light started to glow from the end of the hallway.

They entered the room where the light came from. Mexico's eyes widened. The walls were painted sky blue, the carpet was stained green, there was sunflowers in pots scattered all over the place. Mexico couldn't help but notice a splotch of red in the corner of her eye. She gave her full attention to it and realized it was a puddle of blood. Her eyes widened at the sight.
"R-rus-"
"I love this place" he smiled, not aware of what Mexico saw. "It's my happy place" Russia flopped onto the ground staring at the cloud-painted ceiling.
"Your happy place?" Mexico sat on the carpet next to him.
"Da, i come here either when i'm really depressed or extremely happy."
"You get depressed?" she looked at him confused.
"...da" he sat up with his head drooping, "because of General Winter haunting me, Belarus wanted to marry me, and the other countries are afraid of me-"
"Why don't you try being nicer to them?" she tilted her head.
"I-i try but they just run away"
"Well...you do a good job with me"

Russia looked up with gleaming eyes at Mexico. She sheepishly smiled at him. No words were exchanged, just locked eyes. The mood in the air suddenly changed. Russia leaned toward her, all Mexico could do is just lean toward him, without thought.
An inch away from her lips, Russia jerked back, "I-i i can't!" he jumped up and dashed toward the hallway.
"W-wait!" Mexico called but he was already out of the room. She looked down to the ground in disappointment. The corner of her eye caught the attention of the red that stained the carpet. Quickly, she got up to catch up to Russia.
"Russia, wait!"
Russia, who was in his room, stopped at his tracks and looked at Mexico in confusion.
"S-show me your wrists!" she squeaked.
"Wha? Why?" Russia jumped.
"Just do it!"
He slowly removed his brown gloves from his hands. No stared at him, she assumed the blood was from his wrists.

"oh..."

"Da." With that, Russia walked away.
