The word love was hard to understand. It could mean all kind of different things, things that seemed to change from person to person.

Love was such a short word, but it contained so many things, too difficult to explain, let alone comprehend. Such a tiny group of lines that twisted, folded and intertwined, forming that image that people would read as 'love', could truly move the world.

People would do everything to keep the ones they loved safe, or to be close to them, or to see them... And even with that much amount of power inside one feeling, people looked happy to keep it simple, like a little gas lamp that hangs over the porch of the door, but has the power to light a whole city.

It was hard for him to understand love. Yes, he had felt love a long time ago, when his father was alive and his family wasn't broken. But even that warm feeling was different from this.

Looking at the sleeping american besides him, Russia smiled softly.

Maybe love was just this.

The warmth of a hug after a nightmare, seeming to keep the loneliness away.

The way a simple kiss could make him cry of relief after a long inner battle against himself.

The rainy days just dozing on the sofa, holding hands and drinking hot chocolate.

The way those eyes could read deep into his soul just with a simple look.

The little fights over what's going to be dinner and who's washing the dishes.

The way his old scars seemed to be painless when he was kissing them.

The tears spilled onto eachother's shirts when times were tough.

The way they would pick up every piece and put it back together, getting stronger with every fall.

The sunsets, the sunrises, the nights, the days.

The clear skies, the stars, the rain and the foggy days.

As the sleeping boy started to wake up, he greeted him with a big smile.

"Hey, did I miss something? There's something on my face?"

Said America confused at the other's expression.

"Nah, while you were sleeping I just realized something"

"What is it?"

"It's not important."

"Hey that's not fair!!! Tell me!!!"

"Nop"

"Aw, c'mon!!!"

Yeah...

This is love.
