Canada watched, horrified by Russia's reaction. France had told him. His secret was out. He closed the door and trembled, eyes wide as he stared at the door, just waiting for Russia to bust it down in full rage. After just this short time of being Russia's friend, it was all gone now. His trust, the kindness he had shown Canada, everything. He waited, for what felt like minutes, for Russia to come outside. Nothing happened. Canada approached the door with caution, step by baby step. He reached his hand out to the handle, but before he could touch it, the door opened. Russia stood there, eyes on Canada as he stepped out of the room and closed the door behind him. Canada's eyes got bigger, sweat trickled down his face, neither of the two saying a word in the uncomfortable silence. If there was a time to escape Russia, it would be now. Just as Russia took one step toward him, Canada immediately dashed for his life.

"Matvey!" Russia shouted as he chased after.

"L-Leave me alone! Please!"

The baltics, and a few other people stepped out of their rooms to see what the yelling was about.

Canada ran all the way to the main lobby, he changed direction trying to bolt out the door all too quickly, causing him to trip and fall, but he only jumped back up and continued to run. Once outside, his clothes and hair now becoming wet from the rain that had appeared soon after the dark clouds did, he glanced quickly looking in all directions for some place to hide.

"...Matvey"

Canada spun around to see Russia near the door to the hotel. People watching the two from inside the building. Canada backed away from him as Russia tried to get closer, but once gain Canada ran for it.

"Stop!" Russia yelled, his voice sounding angry, or so, it sounded to Canada.

Canada looked back to see if Russia was following him, just to see Russia catching up. Canada's heart raced, he glanced in front of him again picking up his pace, trying so hard to run faster than he had ever done before. Soon enough he was sprinting pass everyone and everything, panting hard, glancing back occasionally until Russia was no longer in sight. He slowed down his pace and hid in the nearest alleyway he could find. No way out but back as the walls around him cornered him, but that didn't bother him, he lost Russia. He bent over, hands on knees, panting hard trying to catch his breath. He got on his knees, and placed his hands on the wall in front of him. Never before had been so terrified in his entire life. He knew Russia didn't like people getting too close to him, and Canada was no exception. He knew this... now more than ever he'd have to try and get his freedom back.

"Ivan... I'm sorry..." He said to himself as his hands slid down the wall, to the ground.

It's better this way, if I stay away from him, become invisible again... I can have my old life back...

"Did you really think you could outrun me, Matvey?"

Canada glanced back to see Russia standing behind him. Just when he thought he was safe, Russia had found him. His eyes grew to their fullest and his mouth hung open. He was trapped, worse than just trapped, he'd soon be dead. Russia kneeled down and reached out his hand to Canada, but before Russia could even touch Canada, he winced away as he whimpered. He shut his eyes tightly awaiting the pain that was soon to come, He's going to grab my hair and drag me again for sure! Then, he felt Russia's hand gently place itself on his head. His hand slid from Canada's head to his back, to his arm, then to his hand. He placed his other hand on Canada's as well. Canada could only watch as Russia grabbed both Canada's hands, then bring them up making Canada wrap his own arms around him, as well as Russia's. What did Russia have in mind? What was he doing?

"So... this was the secret that would ruin our friendship?" Russia said.

Canada could only nod as he gulped, praying for mercy.

"You are right, it did ruin our friendship"

Canada's eyes saddened in hearing this from Russia, the only man who could remember Canada existed for more than two minutes. Canada lost everything he had worked so hard for, Russia's trust, his kindness, everything.

"I-I swear, R-Russia... I-I was never going to tell you..." Canada whispered.

"Oh?"

"I never meant for you to find out... b-but the feelings, t-they grew inside of me... I couldn't help it... it just slipped out... Forgive me Russia..."

"...Ivan..."

Canada lifted his head, his eyes peeking to look at Russia as he turned his head a little.

"...P-Pardon?" He said softly.

"I like it better when you call me Ivan"

Canada blinked in confusion, he didn't understand it. Why was Russia torturing him more like this? Was this just the start of his punishment?

"Matvey, you'll get a heart attack if you keep this up" Russia said as he sat Canada on his lap, allowing him to lay his head on his chest. He opened his coat and, while still wearing it, wrapped it around Canada, then held him gently, "I do not want my favourite to get sick"

Canada felt so confused. He reached his hand up to Russia's chest, and clutched his shirt, hand shaking from the cold rain. He felt so warm and comfortable in Russia's arms, he wanted to stay there forever, but he knew he couldn't have that.

"Ivan..." Canada said in a shaky voice, "W-Why are you being so nice to me?"

Russia smiled softly.

"I am not mad, Matvey... I am glad you said what you said"

"B-but... you said it ruined our friendship..."

"Da... it did"

Russia lowered his head, then gently kissed the top of Canada's head. Don't do this to me... don't torture me like this... Canada could feel his face burning up. All he really wanted then, was to get away, he shouldn't have started falling for Russia in the first place. He couldn't help it though, everything had told him that Russia perfect.

"...S-Stop...please..." Canada whispered.

"Why?"

"You're hurting me... stop teasing me..."

"...uh?"

Canada should have just pushed Russia away, right then and there... but he couldn't bring himself to do it. His trembling hand pushed against his chest, trying to encourage his own body to move away, but he was so comfortable there. Russia then took Canada in his arms carrying him in a bridal style and stood up before heading back to the hotel. Canada blushed, just by being in Russia's arms like this. He didn't like it, still loving Russia even though he knew for sure everything was gone. Then, he heard Russia giggle. He looked up at him, waiting to see if he'd say what was so funny.

"Matvey... you are too cute"

Canada's blush grew, was Russia trying to tease him just because he had told him the truth?

"D-Don't make fun of me..."

The look Russia gave Canada, it made him feel weak, but he liked it. He tried so hard to push away the feeling, that re-occurring feeling that never seemed to leave him alone when it came to Russia... only this time, the feeling was too strong. It was taking over his mind, his heart, his body. Canada stared at Russia, eyes calm, but with a little worry.

"Ivan..."

Finally they made it back to the hotel. Russia entered the building and headed back to their room, ignoring the staring eyes. Once near the door, Latvia was the first to stick his nose into Russia's business.

"Mr. R-Russia! W-What happened?"

"None of your business Latvia, go back to your room"

Russia slipped the card key into the door and opened it. Once inside the room he closed the door with his foot. He walked over to the bed and set Canada down on it.

"Get into your pj's, it is getting close to night time anyway"

Canada only stared at the ceiling, feeling defeated. He couldn't simply resist anymore. He sat up and watched Russia look through his luggage for his night time clothes. Don't do it Canada thought to himself, trying to warn himself to stay away from Russia. He seems so, kind now... to me... but why? Canada tried to gather as many answers as he possibly could. What if he is mad, what if he's just not showing it? Canada put his feet on the ground. He stood up and walked towards Russia just as Russia stood up. He felt as if he couldn't control himself any longer, every warning in his body and mind shut down, only responding to what the heart was saying.

"Ivan...?"

Russia turned to see Canada, tears streaming down his face. He didn't want to do this, for fear of being rejected, for fear of being hurt, but those feelings left as soon as they came.

"Matvey? What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Russia was so beautiful to Canada. His eyes, his hair, his face, everything. Canada shut his eyes and wrapped his arms around Russia's body as he buried his face into Russia's chest. Russia gawked, curious for a moment. Then, he smiled as he wrapped his arms around Canada.

"...I can't take it" Canada whimpered as he held on tighter.

"What do you mean?"

Canada looked up at Russia, eyes blurred with tears and a small blush on his face.

"I-I can't take it anymore... j...just do what you want with me"

Russia blinked, curious once more.

"...What?"

"Y...You can make f-fun of me all you want, tease me, hurt me emotionally and physically... b-but I stand by what I said! I love you Ivan!"

Canada's hands gripped Russia's coat as he lay his head on Russia's chest. Letting all the tears out, letting his feelings for Russia finally take over.

"Go ahead, hate me..."

Canada couldn't care one bit if Russia teased him just because he was in love with him. He would welcome it with open arms, as long as it was Russia giving him kisses, holding him, whatever.

"...You think I never liked you, Matvey?" Russia said as he pet Canada's head, his touch gentle, "You remember when I first found you, lying on the ground. I really did think you were beautiful... unfortunately I did not treat you as well as I should have. Yet, you greeted me with hugs, and came to see me when I was alone..." Russia placed his hands on Canada's face and lifted his head so he could see him better as he spoke, "...you made my dream a reality"

"...I-I knew, you'd like the sunflowers... s-so-"

"-It wasn't the sunflowers"

Canada stared, confused. If it wasn't the sunflowers, then what could have made his dream a reality? What did Canada do?

"You... Matvey. You gave yourself to me, you showed me kindness, respect, someone I could trust"

"Y...You, you mean...?"

"Da... to be honest, I always liked the way you hugged me"

Russia's hand slid down from Canada's face to his shoulder, while the other hand slipped itself under his chin as he leaned in close to Canada's face.

"I wonder what it feels like to be kissed by you, now"

Canada's face turned dark red at that moment. Russia's words, they way he spoke to him, Canada found it hard to resist. He couldn't take it. The last bit of resistance he had left in him had died. Immediately he grabbed Russia's scarf and pulled him close to his face, kissing him deeply. His mind went blank, only thinking of Russia, his heart thumped happily inside his chest. Russia's love, something that Canada had always wanted. Russia had allowed this, he allowed someone to love him... and that someone was Canada. Finally, Canada pulled away from the kiss. The kiss itself, it was the most wonderful thing Canada had ever experienced... but then, both Canada and Russia stared. Canada could only wonder what was wrong with Russia. Russia's face turned red, mouth shut. Canada's only thought was that maybe he overdid it. He backed away looking away.

"I-I'm sorry..." He looked back at Russia, giving him a shy, sad smile and tilted his head as he spoke, "I-I'll go get dressed into my pj's"

Just staring at his face, Russia's eyes grew and his blush darkened. Canada felt a little worried, he turned to walk away, but before he could take two steps Russia grabbed his arms suddenly and pushed him on the bed, pinning him there. He grinned in a way that made Canada shudder.

"I'm not done with you yet" Russia said before pressing his lips against Canada's into a passionate kiss. Canada moaned into the kiss. He then felt Russia's hands let go of his arms letting him move them freely, but only so he could slide them up Canada's shirt. Canada pulled away from the kiss in shock. He knew what Russia was planning, but it was going too fast. Russia then kissed Canada's neck roughly.

"Sir?" Came Lithuania's voice, "Sorry to barge in but I- EYAAAAH! MR. RUSSIA!"

"Uh?" Russia said, snapping out of his love sickness.

He stared at the panting Canada, then turned his attention to Lithuania.

"You did not knock" Russia said angrily.

"I-I did, s-sir! B-but w-well, u-um"

Apparently Lithuania had a key card to their room as well... well he was the one who had gotten the rooms for them, he had probably done that in case of emergencies, worried as to why Russia chased after Canada in the first place, but right now, this was more of a strange find for him.

"Um... I-I'll leave you two alone now... s-sir"

Lithuania immediately bolted out the door shutting it behind him. He sighed.

"Oh my..."

Meanwhile back in the room. Russia looked back down at Canada and kissed his cheek softly before getting off of him. Canada sat up and watched what looked like an embarrassed Russia taking his pj's, which was just a shirt and pants, and headed to the bathroom.

"I'm sorry, Matvey... I shouldn't have done that to you..."

"Ivan"

Russia stopped and glanced back at Canada. Canada wasn't upset with him at all; instead he gave him a reassuring smile.

"It's ok"

Russia smiled back and nodded before disappearing around the corner. The door clicked, letting Canada know that Russia was now in the bathroom, door closed. Canada put his hand to his heart, he could feel it beating, but when he thought of Russia it beat faster. He smiled softly. He does love me... Canada lay back on the bed, keeping his hand on his heart as he stared at the ceiling. Now, I shouldn't have to worry anymore... right? He closed his eyes and breathed calmly as he let his heart calm down.

...right?
