Canada felt better, much better. Though he felt a little sore from lying down, perhaps the couch wasn't all that comfortable. He groaned and stretched. After he yawned and rubbed his eyes. Where are my glasses? Canada looked around the place, when he got out of bed he realized he still didn't have any pants on.

"E-EEP!" He immediately grabbed his pj pants that were still left on the floor, for some reason, and put them on. They barely fit him, at least the top of the pants was able to tighten if Canada tied the strings together, which he did. The pants were loose at his ankles, and his sleeves were oversized. Canada spotted his glasses on the coffee table. He picked them up and put them on.

Canada walked towards the kitchen and peeked in to see Lithuania and Russia there, Lithuania was making breakfast it appeared and Russia was simply watching. Then, Russia turned his head to see Canada peeking in at them. Canada winced back a little trying not to get caught, but it was too late for that.

"Canada~" Russia said, "Come here, don't be shy"

Canada did as he was told shyly approaching Russia. He looked up at him nervously. What did Russia have in mind for Canada? It was a little scary thinking about it. Russia didn't exactly have a good reputation for kindness.

"You are awake now, that is good" Russia said.

Canada nodded not saying a word.

"Since you are well, I will lay down the rules now... You will address me as Mister Russia or sir, or both, you will obey my every command or else I will have to punish you, and you will answer me when I talk to you"

"Y-Yes sir"

Russia smiled, "Good boy"

Russia then headed for the door.

"Where a-are you going, um, s-sir?"

"To get you some clothes, you can't wear the same ones everyday and I won't let you be wearing all my clothes"

"Oh. O-ok Mr. Russia"

Russia then left closing the door behind him. Canada only watched. He sighed to himself Why was Russia up last night?

"Well, it's good to see you're finally awake" Lithuania said as he carried out the food to the table.

"Y-Yes, thank you"

"You were asleep for five days"

"F-Five days!"

"Yes, I think it was a coma you were in"

How could Canada have been in a coma? It was strange, that would explain why he's better all of a sudden, but still...

"Well, eat up; we've got a long day ahead of us, as always"

"As always?" Canada asked as he sat down to eat.

"Um, well just eat up"

Canada stared at Lithuania with a curious expression, but he shrugged then looked down at his food, it was strange, but he ate it anyway.

"What are we having for lunch?" he asked.

"Uh? Well... first we're going to start off with botvinya"

"O...Oh"

Canada had no idea what botvinya was, he didn't care to ask either.

"Then, I'm not too sure, I'll have to see what we have"

"Ok"

Canada and Lithuania ate in silence, Canada had so much to ask, but thought it would be rude and, probably annoying to keep asking questions.

Soon enough Latvia and Estonia came downstairs, they sat down at the table and ate their food quietly as well. Canada stared at the batlics. They seemed so loyal and well mannered. Was it because Russia scared them into this? Or were they always this way? Canada continued eating, This isn't the kind of food I'm used to, but this is what I'll have to live off of... for the rest of my life.

A tear came down Canada's face, he wouldn't be able to go where he wanted, do what he wanted... maybe not even see his own brother... most likely nobody knew he was gone anyway, no one would know, ever... Canada was pretty much a slave for Russia.

"Canada?" Lithuania said.

Canada looked up at Lithuania unaware of the tears in his eyes.

"C-Canada, you're crying"

"E-Eh? I-I'm sorry I was just thinking..."

Lithuania took a hankie out of his coat pocket and began wiping away Canada's tears.

"Don't worry Canada, if ever you need help with something just ask me, ok?"

Canada nodded and smiled through the tears. Lithuania certainly was a kind man; Canada thought he could become fast friends with him.

"Ah? What's going on here?"

"Ah! oh um," Lithuania said as he stood up immediately, "Nothing much j-just talking"

Canada looked at Russia seeing that he had some Russian clothes hung around his arm.

"T...That was, fast" He said.

"The store's not that far" Russia walked over to Canada and gave him a blue almost dress coat like clothing, "Go put that on" Russia said pointing to a certain spare room.

"Y-yes sir..." Canada said as he stood up and headed for the spare room to change.

Once inside the room Canada took off his pj's and put on the clothes given to him. Once in the new outfit, he looked in the mirror. He did feel kind of strange wearing Russian clothes, but it was comfortable. He came outside and watched Russia as he talked to the baltics.

"I'll be going for a walk now" Russia said, he looked at Canada, then smiled, "And I'll be taking you with me"

Canada felt a little uncomfortable with Russia smiling at him the way he was, it looked dark.

Still, he went to Russia's side and the two headed off to, wherever Russia wanted to go.

Russia and Canada first walked through a nice park. It mainly had snow everywhere, but it also had a beautiful stream and a nicely decorated bridge. The trees stood tall, no wind, just silence in the air besides that of people around them talking. The stream flowed calmly and the water looked so clean. It was beautiful.

Canada silently admired his surroundings. A small smile appeared on his face as he looked around. If there was one that made him happy, it was nature's beauty.

"You like it here, Da?"

"eh? U-um... I was just admiring how, beautiful, this place looks"

"Da, it is... but I do not like the snow"

"Why not?"

Russia did not answer; perhaps the snow brought back painful memories, maybe he just simply didn't want to say, but still, they walked on following the stream.

Soon enough, they reached a lake. It was frozen over, unlike the stream, but the ice seemed too thin to walk on. It wasn't like they would be walking on it anyway, but still it was good to take note of this.

Russia sat down near the frozen water and lay against a tree to rest. He only stared at the sky doing nothing more than just that.

Canada sat down across from Russia just watching him. Now that he took a good look at him, Russia did seem pretty handsome. Canada did not think much of it though.

He remained silent, he didn't want to disturb Russia from any daydreams he might be having. So, Canada decided maybe he could daydream, about freedom? How good it was? No, that would only make him feel much worse once he came back to reality. How could he dream? It just didn't seem right to do so at this moment. Canada just pulled his legs close to his chest and hugged himself.

This is what he'd have to get used to. This was his fate.

"...Canada"

"Yes?"

"You haven't said anything to me"

"I-I'm sorry, I thought you wanted to be alone with your thoughts"

Russia glared at the sky. Apparently Canada said something that upset him, Canada didn't feel to safe at the moment.

"...Just talk to me..."

"ok... um" Canada wasn't much of a talker, but he tried his best to come up with something to say, "What's your favourite flower?"

For a second Canada thought that was a silly thing to ask, but, it put a smile on Russia's face.

"The sunflower" He said.

"The sunflower?"

"Da"

"I see, it is a very beautiful flower it reminds me of the sun"

"Da, it looks so warm and accepting to"

Accepting? Why would he use that word? The way he said it though, it was sad.

"I'm sorry if I brought up something terrible"

"нет, keep going"

"Um..." Canada could feel himself getting a little cold, he wanted to go back, but would asking Russia be ok? Instead, he kept the conversation going without complaining, "What about your favourite food?"

Russia giggled. He looked at Canada as he smiled.

"You haven't told me your favourite flower, Canada"

"Eh? Oh um, well... It's not a flower, really, I like a certain leaf"

"What kind?

"The maple leaf"

"Ah. Now, it's my turn again. My favourite food is Borsch"

"oh, mine is pancakes with maple syrup on top"

"Keep going"

Ok... What's, your favourite-"

"Canada" Russia said cutting Canada off, "Are you just going to ask me what my favourites are?"

"U-um, w-well, I'm sorry I-I uh, um"

Canada tried hard to think of something else to talk about. Russia got up and kneeled in front of Canada. Canada looked up at him with shy eyes.

"You are not very good at this are you?"

"...no sir"

Russia stood up and walked off and Canada did the same following him.

"Let's head home" Russia said.

"Ok" Canada answered.
