Lithuania and Estonia had stayed long enough to know that what was going was apparently not complete torture and then ran to the safe haven of their room, thankful that the house was well insulated so they couldn't hear anything.

"Do… do you think he'll be okay?" Lithuania asked.

"He soundly pretty alright to me…" Estonia answered awkwardly.

"Doesn't help the fact that I'm worried!" Lithuania said sitting on the edge of his bed and putting his head and his hands.

"All we can do is wait and check on him in the morning." Estonia said and went to his bed as well.

And they did, the very first thing they did in the morning was knock on Russia's bedroom door. They heard feet coming towards the door right away. Russia opened it, wearing only his scarf and some loose pants.

"He's still sleeping, but you may go in and check on him if you like. Just don't move him around too much." he said without asking why the two nations were there as he left the room and headed downstairs, intent on making a pot of coffee.

Lithuania and Estonia watched him walk down the stairs before rushing in to see their little brother. He was resting under the thick covers, looking very… used. And even under the covers it was clear by the mess of clothes on the floor that he was still naked.

Estonia was the first to gain the courage to pull the quilts down a little ways. Even just down to his collarbone there were marks on him. Estonia and Lithuania shared the same look of worry and pulled the covers down the slightest bit more. Well, from what they could tell there had been no abuse.

Latvia started to stir then and slowly opened soft lavender eyes. One hand went straight for his head. He groaned.

"My head…" Latvia said softly. He looked up and saw his 'brothers' standing over him, looking worried. "What?" he asked and tried to sit up before feeling the sharp pain in his lower back. He laid back down and looked around. That's when he registered that he was naked. That's also when he started to panic. "What? What happened? Did I?" as he tried to sit up again that reminded him.

Neither Lithuania or Estonia had the nerve to say anything. Luckily, or not-so lucky depending on who you are, Russia walked in, climbing into bed next to his lover. "How do you feel?" he asked.

Latvia was shaking in fear but he couldn't bring himself to move. "T-terrible…" he answered anyway.

"Hmm? Was I too rough? Or do you think it was the fact we did it five times?" Russia asked, not caring of the other embarrassed nations standing there.

"What? We did? How? W-why?" Latvia asked, tears threatening to spill down his face.

"You asked if you could help me. Did you not? This was the first part." Russia smiled.

"F-first… part?" the smaller male asked in terror.

"Of course. There are four parts. I hope you don't mind, since we've already started and all." Russia replied.

That's when he crossed the line. Estonia was fuming as he nearly yelled at Russia, "Oh no! You aren't using Latvia like that any more! Neither of us," he glanced at Lithuania, "are going to let that happen. So I suggest finding someone else or you can just go screw yourself!" After he was done he felt terrible. And was readying himself for a huge punishment. But he had had enough of Russia's games. And it felt good to yell at him and not fear him for a moment in his life.

Instead of getting angry at Estonia he simply looked at him with a blank face. "I can't go pick someone else now. I've already started this with Latvia. Another person in this would just be too much." he said.

Estonia, still surprised at the reply, stood there, still mentally preparing himself for a punishment later. So Lithuania spoke up. "And just why not?"

Russia smirked, "You'll see." he said. "Now, I suggest we let Latvia get more rest. For today, Estonia will take all of Latvia's chores as well as his own. Now leave my room."

Lithuania and Estonia both fled the room but not without taking one last look towards the defeated looking Latvian.

"Why me?" Latvia asked once they had left.

"Because, nobody else could have done it." was Russia's simple reply. He stood from the bed and leaned over Latvia, "I hope you come you love me soon." he kissed his forehead, "Now sleep. You need it." he said gently before putting on his clothes for the day.

Latvia didn't have the strength in him to resist that offer, especially if it meant sleeping in Russia's large comfy bed. "He didn't want to think about what Russia said or why so he left it alone for the moment while he slept all day.
