I can't be the only one who would feel fucked up after reading "talk to me on Twitter" on a website that talks about what kind of torture they used in the Ottoman Empire.

...What? It's for research, dammit! Why else would anyone check the symptoms of the bubonic plague? Research!

"Open the cell." Turkey ordered. Once he got inside, he took out a knife to cut the rope around Portugal's ankles so he could balance when Turkey forced him to stand.

"What do you want?" Portugal asked with a scowl on his face.

Turkey forced Portugal's shirt open. "How does it feel?" He ran his hands on the other man's chest. "Did ya' use 'dat money well? Was it worth abandonin' everyone?" He leaned over to Portugal's ear. "...Abandonin' Ireland when he was righ' there?"(1) Portugal looked away.

"Stop touching me..."

"Ya' could have saved e'eryone, includin' yerself... Or at least, ya' could've tried, but ya' didn'. Ya' took the money and ran."

"I was going to use that money to upgrade my armies so I could save everyone- not just the atlantic part of th-"

"Were ya'? Or are ya' only sayin' 'dat 'cause Aiden's in'ere?" Portugal's eyes widen and he sank to his knees. "I suppose 'dats the only thing I wanted ta' talk ta' ya' abou' with ya', fer now."

"W-Wait- Sadiq!" Turkey turned to look at Ireland. "Sc- um... M-My brother. He... Um..."

"I wouldn' wan' ta' see'im, if 'dat's what yer tryin' ta' say. He's... Not smokin'. He's been doin' a lot betta', but he's still depressed. Were ya' thinkin' abou'im t'is whole time?"

"Where is he right now?"

"He should be wit' Francis, Antonio and Lovino righ' now. He's not nearly as violen' as he was b'fore, an' he's not allowed ta' be alone."

Ireland let out a sigh of relief. "And Arthur?"

"He 'as been moved ta' a differen' cell. Would ya' want'a see'im? I was jus' abou'ta see'im." Ireland nodded and spread his feet out as much as he could so Turkey could cut the rope. Then he turned his body so Turkey could get the rope around his wrists. He was helped up on his feet.

"Thank you..." Ireland took some steps towards the bars of the prison to use them so he could balance himself. Turkey took his arm to keep him from falling over until he got used to walking again.

Guards has stopped watching over England when they were sure that he was okay alone, except for when he was to be fed, so when England heard the door to the prison open, he automatically assumed that it was for food.

"Ireland?" He asked, confused. "Why are you here- and with Turkey?"

"He's letting me see you. I'm not really sure why, but here I am..."

"Yer lookin' good, Englan'..."

England smirked. "Well, my pirates ARE still out there."

Turkey chuckled. "'Good ta' know."

"I tell you this, because I know that my men can help you."

"England?" Ireland screamed, surprised. Turkey, however, simply laughed.

"Did ya' know I was plannin' on talkin' ta' ya' abou' France an' yer punishmen'?"

England looked up at his covered face. "...Aren't you kind of late on that?"

"Hayır.* He jus' recently told me 'dat ya' took away his son or somethin'?"

"Why would you care about that?"

Turkey took out a key. "Because, thanks to 'dat, an' yer comment abou' it bein' impossible ta' rape him..." He pushed the key in the door to unlock it. "I caught'im attempt'n' suicide."

Both England and Ireland stared at England with wide eyes in disbelief. "Wh-Why would he..?"

"He's depressed, obviously, but I'm takin' good care of him." He pushed Ireland in the cell with England. "I'll get ya' wheneva' Scotl'nd's feelin' betta'. An' ya', England, will be boardin' the next ship once it comes. Ya' will still be a prisoner, but at least ya' can order yer people ta' help. That will be yer punishmen'. Understan'?"

England shook his head slightly. "What's wrong with Scotland?"

"He's goin' through withdrawals. S'not 'xactly a pretty sight fer two of his brotha's."

"I... Understand. Could you just..." He looked away. "Tell that cheese-eating bastard that... Th-That I'm sorry, for those comments a while back. Nothing else!"

Turkey chuckled. "I'll tell'im."

"Thank you..."

Happy Holidays! Though by the time I get this on the Internet, it'll be the day after Christmas. It's already eleven forty-two at night here in Wisconsin, so... Happy belated holidays!

I'm not exactly sure why I had Turkey molesting Portugal there...

Perhaps it was to show who's boss?

(1) I got inspired to write this from a comic... In that comic, Turkey was kidnapping Ireland, and Portugal tried stopping him... Until Turkey presented a bag of cash, and he took the money and run...

Just to get kidnapped, according to the wiki page of "Barbary Pirates," it seems.
