I'm sorry I haven't been updating. Final exams are harsh. But I hope to update more now I will have updates for the Iron Wolf soon too. I have a poll going on for which pairing you want in this story. It is up on my profile since I cannot put it in this chapter for some reason. Merry Christmas!

"What do you mean you're straight?" asked Belarus. Russia's face changed demeanor. She looked at the ground.

"There's uh, something I need to tell you…that I probably should have told you a long time ago…" Russia swallowed. Lithuania had never seen Russia like this. Her sisters stared at her. "Ukraine, I think I told you this a while ago, but I haven't told anyone else…and now especially in times like this it's dangerous for me to even say this but…" Russia sighed. "I like men. I always have. I always will. And I guess I still do…" The room was silent. Lithuania froze. He completely forgot about the burn from the coffee or the fact that he was still shirtless. He always had a feeling that Russia was gay, but he thought he was at least bisexual. But the more that he thought about it, it did seem that Russia was in denial for a long time. Maybe that was the reason for all the maid's outfits… I do look really feminine, don't I? Maybe I should get a haircut…

Belarus was absolutely shocked. Her mouth was open. Ukraine was speechless.

"Russia…" breathed Lithuania.

"You-You knew about this…" Belarus turned to Ukraine.

"R-Russia told me something like this when he was very very young, but I didn't think that…I thought it was just…" stammered Ukraine, "And now…oh dear Lord I'm so sorry." She hugged Russia.

"How-How long?" asked Belarus.

"This is the first time I've told anyone about it. I guess I've always known but I just…refused to accept it," she answered, "You know why I couldn't tell you."

"No. No I don't," she replied.

"You were still very…tenacious. And insistent on marrying me. It got to a point where I just couldn't tell you," explained Russia.

"Why? You tell me about everything else. Why wouldn't you tell me about this?" she interrogated.

"Because I knew your reaction would be hysterical," she answered, "It would have just broken your heart. And some of my bones."

"Is that who you think I am?" said Belarus, "Well, you could have saved us both the pain." She began to leave.

"Belarus wait!" Lithuania followed after her.

"Belaru–" she heard the door slam. "You understand, right?"

"I do," replied Ukraine, "I probably would not have told her either. But that doesn't mean that it's good for your relationship."

"I'm not sure how to fix this," sighed Russia, "I'm stressed out enough as it is. I just need a night to get away from all this. Oh! A bar night is really what I need right now!"

"Well, you do what you need to. And remember, she's still your sister," she smiled.

"I know. And I think she needs one too," she replied, "After the world meeting we shall all go out and get drunk! That is my wish."

"Belarus! Hey! Wait up!"

Belarus ignored him. She was not in the mood for his Knight in shining armor bullshit. She had worse shit to deal with. When will he just give up? She got in her car and drove up, ignoring his attempts to stop her. She felt betrayed and she needed to go home.

Lithuania sighed. There she goes.

"Hey Lithuania, it's still chilly out so I thought I would br…ing…"

Lithuania whipped around. Ukraine stood there almost as wide-eyed as she was a few minutes ago. Now that he thought about it, he was shirtless. And this was Russia in late March. But Ukraine's face looked...scared? "Bože miy…" she breathed.

"Ukraine? Is something wrong?" he walked towards her, "Ukra–" He cracked when he realized what she was upset about. Lithuania sighed, aggravated. Shit! You have your shirt off dumb ass! "Look, it's–"

"W-What happened to you?" she choked.

"I-they're...It's...um," he stammered. She hugged him gently. He could feel her tears on his skin. Her arms were placed around him lightly. "I-It's nothing serious. Just uh, battle scars," he comforted. He flinched when her fingers touched one of the scars. "No need to cry. It's just history…"

"Russia told me you were a tough fighter," she said, "But I never imagined...who did this?" He took the shirt from her.

"Thank you for bringing me a shirt," he said, putting it on. "It's chilly. I'm going to go inside." He nudged past Ukraine as she stood there, wondering about what just happened.

"No need to be nervous. Just act normal aru," advised China.
"I don't know how to act normal…"
"Like you usually do…" whispered China. Nations fell quiet as Russia walked by and whispered as they passed. Just like they normally did.

"Guten morgen Russia," greeted Germany
"G-Good morning Germany!" Russia replied.
"You stutter aru!" hissed China.
"Buenos Dias Russia!" Spain exclaimed.
"Morning Russia!" Cuba greeted.
"Namaste Russia!" India welcomed.
"To you as well," she acknowledged.

"Oy! Russia! Go eat ass you unawesome bag of shit!" Prussia yelled.
"Good morning to you too Prussia!" Russia greeted, "Good morning Poland!"
"Fuck off."
"Hey Russia! Go jump off a cliff!" Hungary spat.
"Are they always cursing you like this aru?" China whispered.
"Pretty much."
"Go back to the gulag you crawled out from!" Czechia yelled.
"Nice one!" Bulgaria hissed slapping him a high five.
"The iron curtain always holds grudge against me. No big deal," he said, "Ah! Good morning Moldova!"
"G-Good morning big brother Rus–"
"No." Romania quickly pulled his brother away from the giant. "He's suffered enough because of you. Leave him alone," he scowled. Russia continued on smiling.

"That's just mean aru!"
"Let it go," she smiled, "They will all regret one day." China shivered.

"China! Dude!" America greeted, "Why did you walk in with the Russkie?"
"Russia is a friend aru!" China defended.
"You were just complaining to me about him a couple months ago," he elaborated, "You just went on and on about how annoying he is and how you're scared he'll invade you or how he stalks you and breaks into your house…" China looked up at Russia in fear. Russia still had a smile plastered to her face, but now had an aura of dread.

"A-A-Ah! Well, Russia is still my friend! Isn't that right, Russia?" China stammered, "I'm his friend and I'm a much better friend than India will ever be aru?" He said the last part louder.
"Now I'm not so sure…" said Russia smile plastered to her face.
"Oh come on I'm sorry!" China apologized.
"We shall see," she replied, "Oh by the way, those pants look pretty tight on you, America…"
"Thank you!" he smiled, "Your haircut looks fucking stupid!"
"I hope you burn in hell…"
"You're going to die alone!"
"Kol Kol..."
"Bye bye Commie!"

"You two still at it aru?" China took his seat.
"It's actually a lot better than usual," nodded Russia.
"I surprised aru…"

"Good morning brother…" greeted Belarus hesitantly.
"Good morning sister," she smiled.
Something poked at Russia. She turned around.
"Litva?"
"Shhh! Drugiye narody ne mogut videt', chto ya govoryu s vami…" he hissed.
"Tak vot pochemu ty na zavode?" Russia asked.
"I don't understand. You speak too fast aru!" China said.
"Poland and America will get suspicious if they see me talking to you," he converted to English, "So just a note from me."
"Understood. You can leave plant now," she giggled. Lithuania maneuvered out from behind the plant and left.

"Russia!"
"Ukraine!"
"I'm so sorry I'm late but my blouse ripped again!" Ukraine sniffled.
"It's okay sis," she replied, "So far things are going good."
"Yay!"
"Good!"
"Ah…what time is it?" China tried his Russian.
"Oh! It's 1:54! The meeting starts in one minute!" Ukraine bounced, "Ill see you later!"
"See you sis!" Russia called.

"America, you have the floor."

Russia rolled her eyes as America too his place at the front.
"I wonder how much he is overcompensating for," whispered Russia to China. China put a hand over his mouth to keep people from hearing him laugh.

"Nations of the world, as you know Venezuela could not make it today because of the crippling situation," began America, "And now more victims of communism fall…"
"Where is he going with this?" Russia hissed.
"I no know but I don't like it aru," China replied.

"As you know, around 50 million lives have been wasted due to communism," he continued, "I suggest that we make a committee working to get rid of communism all over the world and bring democracy–"
"Hey! Communism works where I am aru!" China suddenly stood up.
"Wow. Rude!" America said, "it's rude to interrupt."
"And like you don't?" England snapped.
"What's that supposed to mean?" America replied.
"You are being very unreasonable. You are not dictator of whole world," said Russia.
"Who said I was?" America said, "All in favour starting the committee?"
"I will help fund it," said Hungary, raising her hand. All the iron curtain members' hands shot up instantly. Many former Soviet Union members raised their hands too. Lithuania slowly and subtly raised his.
"Alright. Let's see that's how many people?"
"I will consign it," added Romania.

"Listen! Communism is not evil. It can work well with a very industrialized nation," cut in Russia.
"Russia…" China was worried where this was going.
"It didn't work for you," remarked America. Russia then snapped. She finally had it. She mumbled something. "What was that?"
"I said eat dick," said Russia. The board room gasped. Some laughed. And then there was that one person that said "Oh snap!"
"Oh very mature," said America, "You seriously want to fight?"
"Sure why not?" Russia said.
"Russia, no!" Lithuania warned.
"Let's go! Right now!" America said. Soon everyone was cheering "Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!" because these meetings were so boring.

"My money is on Rusko," Slovakia betted.
"You're on!" Czech Republic accepted.
"Kick some ass Migug!" South Korea cheered.
"Teach him a lesson Rusia!" Cuba encouraged.
"Place your bets people!" Monaco auctioned at a table in the corner.
"I don't like either, do I have to choose?" Vietnam said.

"Guys! Let's not fight!" Lithuania said, "You are both acting like children and you should be talking this out like matu–"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP LITHUANIA!" the two yelled. Lithuania slowly ducked behind the table in defeat. The two then began wrestling. Russia then began swinging punches which hit America's eye, stomach, and face. America was landing a few blows, but to his shock, Russia was unusually agile. Russia grabbed America by the collar and tore his shirt a bit. America managed to get a layer off of Russia. The two were eventually on the ground. It was hard to see what was going on. Suddenly Germany jumped on top of the two and tried to use brute force to split the two apart. When that failed he grabbed America while Turkey grabbed Russia.

"That...is...enough..." Germany gasped. The whole room was silent. The two brawlers were still gasping for air. An unusual look came across America's face. Russia looked at the floor. Most of the layers, as well as the wig, were scattered across the floor. She looked down and saw a bit of her bra was showing. She moved back a bit. Everyone was staring at her. People were starting to whisper. Russia didn't have time to think. She just dashed out the door.

"Russia wait!" China cried after her. She kept running through the hall. Not caring about what was behind her. She just wanted to go home. And so she ran into her hotel room and slammed the door shut
