On his way back home following a little far behind the others, Canada only stared at the snow, lip quivering and his fear rising every step closer to the house. He didn't bother speaking the others, he was too deep in his thoughts to care about anything else at the moment.

Once they reached home, they entered the house and removed their coats, except Russia. The baltics then awaited Russia's orders.

"Lithuania, go cook" Russia said.

"Yes sir" Lithuania said before leaving to the kitchen.

"Latvia, get me that gun" Russia pointed to a high shelf obviously mocking Latvia's height.

"Y-Yes sir" Latvia said almost in tears.

"Estonia... make it look like you're doing something useful"

"Uh, yes sir"

Then Russia turned to Canada smiling like a child. Canada tried his best to remain calm, but almost nothing he thought of helped.

"Canada, lay on the couch" Russia said as he walked over to the couch he was referring to.

Canada gulped quietly before heading to the couch and lying down on it. His heart pounded in his chest faster. Is he really going to do this to me?

Canada didn't realize Russia could see the fear on his face so easily.

"Ah? What's wrong?" Russia said as he kneeled beside the couch.

"Y-you s-said you w-wanted to rape m-me" Canada whispered as he gave Russia the injured puppy dog look.

Russia blinked, then giggled almost making it sound like a full laugh.

"Canada, I only said that to make your brother upset... but the funny thing was I got everyone to show me their troubled faces" He smirked.

Just right there, Canada could have slapped Russia across the face, but he didn't. He was too happy to care, knowing that Russia would never take advantage of him. Apparently Russia was just playing with everyone's heads. It was a pretty horrible thing to do, especially at a conference, but this was Russia's way of having fun, and Canada had no say to stop him from doing and saying the things he does and says.

"W-Why did you want me to lay on the couch then?" Canada asked shyly.

"I want to check that scar of yours, the smaller ones should have healed by now, so I won't rip your pants off" Russia answered with a giggle.

"...ok"

Canada didn't understand why he couldn't just check when h was standing up, but he thought it would be better not to ask why, he just did what Russia wanted.

Russia lifted Canada's shirt to find that the scar was almost healed. There was no real expression on his face, he didn't seem to care that much, or did he?

He let go of Canada's shirt and stood up.

"You're fine" He said before walking around the couch and to the kitchen.

Canada nodded, he was going to be alright today. Russia seemed to be in too good of a mood to get drunk. Everything will be alright He thought as he closed his eyes. Canada just wanted to rest a little, after almost getting a heart attack from all that fear he thought it would be good to relax. It was good, that is until he heard Russia say 'Estonia! Get me some vodka!'. Canada's eyes shot open. He sat up immediately then hopped off the couch and ran right to Russia grabbing his coat and looking up at him with the most frightened face he had ever made.

"Don't do it!" He shouted "Please don't drink, you'll get drunk again!"

The baltics stopped what they were doing all at once and stared at Canada as if they wanted to say 'What the heck is wrong with you?'.

Russia's smile quickly changed into a frown.

"Canada, are you trying to tell me what to do?"

"N-no, well, Maybe b-but-"

Russia glared at Canada, this made the baltics back away immediately. Canada looked at the others clueless to what he did wrong, or said wrong in this case. Just then Russia grabbed Canada's shirt collar and lifted him off the ground his glare showing hate as his eyes stared into Canada's. Then, a sound that started out silent grew louder.

"KolKolKol" Those were the only words coming out of Russia's mouth.

Though these words should not have been scary at all, coming from Russia, they were terrifying. Perhaps Canada wasn't as safe as he thought. Russia then pushed Canada against a wall, his koling stopped, and he raised his hand ready to smack Canada, and hard from the looks of things.

"I-Ivan don't!"

Russia froze, his eyes grew and his mouth hung open. He lowered his hand as he stared at Canada, clueless.

"How do you know my human name?"

"...Y...your sister, she told me"

Russia's expression changed to more surprised than before.

"...Which one?"

"Ukraine"

"Ah? You're friends with Ukraine?"

"Y-Yes"

Russia let go of Canada gently. He looked puzzled, and deep in thought.

"Have you told anyone else...?" He asked quietly.

Canada never did tell anyone about Russia's human name. Russia never really crossed his mind much unless Ukraine was talking about him. I certainly hope the baltics knew Russia's human name already...

He thought as he held his hand close to his heart. What would Russia do to him now that he knew Canada knew his human name? Canada didn't even want to think about it, but it worried him. Today was most definitely not a good day for Canada.

"...N-No..." Canada answered.

Russia turned away from Canada and the baltics, he placed his hands on the counter top, his posture making him look stressed, and angry. Canada feared he was in the worst trouble imaginable.

The baltics went back to what they were dong hoping Russia wouldn't get too mad. However Canada didn't have anything to do to distract him from his fear of Russia at this moment. At the same time he felt as if he wanted to stay for Russia's sake, but why?

Finally, Russia turned around glaring at Canada. Canada gulped as he stood there trembling, secretly praying he'd be ok.

"You will not tell anyone about my human name, Da?"

"Y-Yes sir"

"Uh uh, say, Da. I want to hear you speak more Russian"

Canada tried hard not to get too upset, but Russia was his boss now. It was as if he was trapped in a job he could not quit, but there was a way to get fired and he did not want to take that way out.

"...Da... Mr. Russia..." Canada said keeping eye contact with Russia, but trying not to look too upset.

"...Good"

Canada didn't understand why it took so long for Russia to answer this time, was he really this upset?

Canada didn't budge from his spot. He stared at the floor, as Russia walked by him.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Russia..."

Though Russia didn't really deserve to be treated so kindly, Canada felt he should treat Russia nicer, seeing how he reacts to everything. Russia was a puzzle Canada needed to complete, or so he felt.

"Sorry? For what?" Russia asked as he looked back at Canada.

Canada looked at Russia, turning to face him.

"I'm sorry I called you Ivan..."

Russia didn't answer back. He only stared at Canada, still no change in his expression.

"Say it again"

"P-Pardon? Sir?"

"Say my name again"

"Oh... ok... Ivan"

Russia's eyes narrowed as he turned to face Canada. Did it make him more upset? Why would he want Canada to say his human name then? Canada couldn't quite figure out Russia at this moment, he was strange, why would he drown himself in Vodka? Why is he so cruel? Why would he want Canada to call him Ivan...?

"Mr. Russia, I brought you the vodka you wanted" Estonia said, trying to break the silence.

Russia took the vodka and stared at it as if it was useless. The look on his face made the baltics look a little uneasy. Russia looked back at Canada for only a short while before turning away and heading out the door slamming it shut behind him.

"Oh no..." Lithuania muttered, but the others still heard him fine.

"What is it this time?" Canada asked with much worry in his eyes.

"H-he's angry, when he goes out angry to get drunk, h-he's much more harsh on u-us"

Did Canada just make things worse again? He just couldn't seem to do anything right in this house.

He looked away, his hand on his arm, and sighed feeling the guilt get to him.

"I'm so sorry..." He said.

"No, it's ok Canada. You didn't know" Lithuania placed a hand on Canada's shoulder.

Canada looked at him with a sad expression. He didn't think it was ok, one of them would have to suffer tonight when Russia got back and it was probably going to be Canada since he was Russia's new favourite.

It was confusing how Russia reacted to Canada though. He couldn't get the thought out of his head, first Russia was ready to strike him, but as soon as Canada said his human name he just... he didn't even know how to describe it, but for some reason it stopped him from bringing harm to Canada. Did Russia really want Canada to call him Ivan? Or was that just for that one time? Canada had to figure him out, he didn't understand why he wanted to so much, but he had to.
