Meanwhile… In The Conference Room

*Author Note: As promised here is Chapter 7. Once Russia read this chapter he let me out of his basement as long as I update Violet and Sunflowers monthly. No thanks for this chapter, I suspected this since the two posting are so close together. Please read the ending Author's note for a future idea with this story.

"WAIT! MATTHEW, DON'T KILL ALLEN! ALLEN, COME BACK HERE AND APOLOGIZE TO NIKOLAI RIGHT NOW!" Oliver screams at the top of his lungs at the staircase that the two North Americans were running up to towards the roof.

"Ollie, they are not going to listen to you." Francois hollered from the conference room. "Matt has been scheming to kill Al all day today, and Al's too preoccupied with hiding from Nikolai."

Nikolai, that's right. The Englishman thought has he runs over to the battered Russian with his first aid kit in hand to see if was ok. "I'm sorry that Allen hit you, I'll be sure to punish him later." he apologizes while looking over the wound and going into his trusty first-aid kit.

Nikolai tried to push the helpful Brit away from him. "I do not need medical attention. It's just a hit wound, only a couple of scratches and bruises, nothing that serious for your first-aid."

But Oliver still insisted on helping him. "Are you sure that your jaw is not misaligned or any teeth loose or missing." Oliver bugged as he started to put rubbing alcohol on to his busted check.

"No they are fine." Nikolai replied, giving up on resisting medical attention, because Oliver was just going to do it anyway. Also he did not want to upset Oliver thus losing another person from this meeting. It was bad enough that they already had two nations trying to kill each other.

"Hey Oliver, you might want to safe some of your medical supplies for your two boys battling on the roof." states Lutz trying to help Nikolai. "I know that Al already has a nasty cut on his ankle from Matt grabbing him from under the table. And you have no idea what they are doing to each other up there." Oliver turns to stare at him and Nikolai mouths a thank you at Lutz.

"Hey let's have a pool for who wins this fight, I bet a 100 that Matt kicks Al's ass." speaks up Kuro as the idea is inspired by Lutz's comment.

"Yes! I was waiting someone to suggest that! 500 that Matt brutally injures al without a scratch on him!" pipes up Luciano.

"Oh no, we are not having a pool on how Matt and Al are brawling above us." comments Oliver once he hears that his precious Matt would be capable of such cruelty.

"All the money in my wallet, that's $2400, on Al successfully doing a sneak attack on Matt and Al beats up Matt." Francois joins in ignoring Oliver's plead to stop the bet.

"Perché diavolo stai schierata con Al?" questions the confused Italian, believing that the Frenchman would go with Matt.

"Parce que he's the underdog and Matt has no idea that Al hit Nikolai. Therefore Al's probably hiding from Nikolai which will provide excellent coverage from Matt." explains Francois.

"Oh no I know that you didn't believe in that underdog shit! You're just siding for Al because you like him more than Matt!" Luciano exclaims. Francois does not answer he just takes a swig of his redbreast and a drag from a new cigarette that he lit.

"Hey why aren't going after Al, Nikolai?" ponders Kuro, changing the focus of the meeting.

"Matt has wanted to kill Al all day; I rather not get in the middle of that mess. Anyways it's better to play to the game of worry and fear than hiding and fighting." the Russian replies.

"Hey Kuro is there any popcorn in the cupboards?" Luciano questions.

"I don't know but I think I know where you are going with it and I want to join." he replies as he jumps over the bar and looks for the popcorn.

"And what are you planning to do?" Oliver inquires the Italian.

"We're going up to the roof and watch Matt and Al beat the living shit out of each other." Luciano revealed.

"Oh no, you are not going up there and watch my two boys…" he starts to nag but is interrupted by Kuro.

"I found some!" he states and pops the bag into the microwave and begins to hunt for bowls.

"You better not burn that fucking popcorn. I'm still nursing a hangover here and I don't want this place smelling like burned shit." Francois requests because Kuro is known for burning food, even something simple like popcorn and on purpose.

"And I know that I cannot stop you sorry excuse of gentlemen from placing bets on the two North American nations or stop you from going up there and watch them maim each other, however you can at lease show some decency for the young miss that Al brought with him." rants Oliver as he returns to his seat. All twelve of the nation's eyes turn towards Al's girlfriend. They had forgotten that she was still there and in a state of shock due to her negligence of her violent boyfriend.

She snaps out of her daze and asks, "Is he always this way?" The nations stare in silence, wondering if they should risk telling her the truth or let her find out on her own to safe their own asses. "Are you sure you are all right… Umm?" she asks turning her attention to Nikolai trying to figure out his name.

"Nikolai, and I'm fine." he greeted.

"Are you sure? I thought once he saw that Matt ducked… he would stop himself… and I feel like their fight is my entire fault…" she begins to cry.

"Well there is one thing you can do for me if it will ease your conscience. A beautiful girl like you shouldn't cry." he requests trying to stop the girl from crying.

"What is it?" she questions feeling weary of the Russian.

"Just a поцелуй on the cheek that Allen hit. 19" he insisted.

Seeing no harm in the somewhat childish task Cali leans in to give the Russian a kiss. Just as she was about to touch his check, Nikolai quickly turns and Cali kisses Nikolai on the lips as the buzzer on the microwave goes off. The kiss lasts a few minutes as Nikolai holds Cali's head to stop her from moving away. All the other nations stare in amazement at the action. Was this his pay back to Al by stealing Cali? all the others think in silence. Eventually Kuro snaps out of it and stops the buzzer on the microwave and Nikolai lets Cali go.

"Da, I feel better now." Nikolai responded after he let Cali go.

"But wait, I didn't kiss you, you kissed me!" Cali protested. She goes onto Nikolai lap and leans in to continue her promise.

"You know what I'm just going to stay here and watch how this plays out." comments Luciano as Kuro hands him his share of the popcorn. Then they hear a noise that sounds like a herd of trampling rhinos going down the stairs. Just as their lips touched, Mat flings open the conference room door and stares in awe as Al jumps the stairs to catch up with Matt.

"Al is going to be even more pissed when he sees this." Matt says with a smile,

18. Perché diavolo stai schierata con Al?: Why the hell are you siding with Al?

19. Поцелуй: Kiss

*Author Note: Damn the sly Russian! Anywho I starting to thinking of ending this story, sadly. I want to blend an idea for a story I wanted to do with this one, however this will change the view point and probably drastically change the whole focus. I want the readers input before I do this tho. Please Review or PM me if you want me to do it or any ideas to end this story.*
