"Miss (Y/N) and Mr. Russia!?" A voice called out. Russia and I stopped our conversation, turning our heads towards the counter by the cashier. A worker placed two bags and a cup tray with two cups in the holders
We both walked up, taking the bag and cups from the tray. "We don't need the tray, thank you." I said.
We walk over towards one of the empty tables, taking a seat across from each other.
    I begin to take bites of my pastry, "What did you get?" Russia asked.
    "A chocolate pastry. You?" I countered, swallowing my bite.
    "Vatrushka. Wanna try?" He asked, holding out the pastry to me.
    I hesitate for a moment, before taking a small bite. I chewed for a little, dancing the flavors around my mouth. I smiled, "It's delicious."
    I then notice Russia was blushing, frozen in one spot, staring at me. "Are you ok Russia?" I asked. He snapped out of his daze, his pinks growing darker in blush, "U-uh yeah, I'm g-good."
    I shrug, looking back at my own pastry. I hold it out to him, "Want some of mine?"
    He nodded slowly, opening his mouth and taking a bite. He chewed it with a smile, signaling it was good.
    Echo let out a hiss, I giggle, "You can have some to Echo." I held the pastry in front of her nose. She took a small bit, swallowing it whole.
    She then kept her tongue out like always, her cuteness level increasing. I heard Russia chuckle, "I can't tell who is more adorable, you or Echo."
    A light pink dusted my cheeks, I look over at him in surprise. He gaze a confused look, before his blush returned, "Did I say that out loud?"
    I nodded, taking another bite of my pastry. Russia rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment. "Whoops." I heard him mumble. He took a sip of his drink and then another bite out of his food.
    "But it's true you know." I look up at Russia, his elbow on the table with his head leaning on his hand. "You are both equally adorable."
    My blush deepened, I look down to hide it, not used to feeling this way. It had been a long time .... and I mean a long time since I blushed and these butterflies in my stomach.
    I felt a finger under my chin, lifting my head up. Russia was a centimeter away from my face, I could feel my heart pound in my chest. "Don't hide your blush, it just makes you more adorable you know~" He said in a smooth tone.
    I stared into his eyes, or really his sunglasses or America's sunglasses, locking with them. He leaned a little closer, to where I could feel his hot breath on my lips. I fell into some sort of trance, leaning a little bit forward as well, but not enough.
Echo's POV
    My hooman and Russia were so close. But for some unknown reason won't clossse the gap. Ugh, looksss like it's a job for the prankssster.
    I slither slowly towards Russia, I slithered to the back of his head, but not leaving my hooman's shoulder. I smirked, then usssed my head to push Russia forward.
Your POV
    Russia's lips crashed onto mine, my eyes widening in shock. At first I didn't know what to do, I sort of froze. But, after just a few seconds, I melted into the kiss, closing my eyes. I could feel sparks shoot off around my lips where we were connected.
    Everything around me seemed to blur out, time seemed to slow down. It was just me and him in this moment.
     Then, almost as quickly as his lips were placed on mine, he pulled away. I open my eyes to see a deep blush on his cheeks, while I could feel the heat on my cheeks increase.
    "I-I... I'm s-sorry I didn't mean to!?" He said, but didn't even pull farther away, he didn't sound scared either just shocked.
    I raised a brow, "So you didn't mean to kiss me?"
    "I mean, I might've done it sooner or later. I mean with your consent of course I was just about to ask! But something pushed me." He said, rather quickly.
     I raised an eyebrow, "Something ... pushed you." I begin to look around for the source, until my eyes landed on Echo, who was retracting myself to me. "I think we found our culprit." I said, gesturing to the snake.
    Russia just chuckled, shaking his head, "She's a mastermind I swear." I giggled in response.
    "Oh and don't think I didn't notice you kissed back." Russia said with a smirk, looking confident as he put his head back on his hand.
    I blushed tremendously, I cleared my throat, "I don't know what you are talking about."
    "Uh huh. And what happens if I kiss you again?" Russia asked, leaning closer.
    "W-well... t-then ... u-um..." I stuttered our random things, becoming flustered. My blush was probably competing with my eyes right now.
Russia chuckled, "Relax I'm only teasing you."
We talked a little more, most of it was teasing one another and trying to get the other flustered. I got him flustered a couple of times but ... sadly I got flustered around six times.
We left the cafe laughing, heading back over to the car. I felt my phone buzzing in my pants pocket, I took it out to see Benjamin calling me. I hold up my finger to tell Russia to give me a second.
I answered it saying, "What's up?"
I hear a sigh on the other end, "The last meeting you had today has been canceled. So you can go home early."
I smiled brightly, "Alrighty then. See you tomorrow."
"Ah you have the therapist appointment tomorrow remember." He pointed out.
I groan, "Do I have to go?"
"Yes, now stop acting like a child. Your a boss of a large company for god's sake!" I could hear the hint of frustration in his voice.
I smirked, this is going to be fun. "But it's too far and I have to wake up so early!" I complained, sounding like a whiny child.
Russia leaned his ear against the phone as well, trying to hold back a chuckle.
"One o'clock in the afternoon is not early! And it's closer to your house than your own job!" Benjamin growled on the other end.
"That may be true... but ... it's so boring!" I whined. Russia chuckled lightly, then covered his mouth to suppress his laugh.
I could hear Benjamin groan, "Why do I have to put up with this? First your Brother now you ... I swear."
I suppress a giggle, "Benjamin! Just cancel it!"
"No! Your mom would kill me if I do that!" Benjamin exclaimed.
I bursted our laughing, not being able to hold it in anymore. Russia laughed as well. "You were messing with me the entire time haven't you?" Benjamin asked, I could imagine him glaring at this moment.
"Maaaayyybbee." I said. Then he hung up the phone. Me and Russia bursted out laughing again, even tears were coming out of our eyes. Once we stopped, we walked into the car.
Philippines POV
I had my headphones in, watching videos on my phone. I jumped as I heard a crash and the sound of glass breaking. I yank my headphones off of my head, getting up out of my bed.
I ran out of my room, over to the stairs. My eyes widened when I see the entire living room wrecked... when did this happen!?
I then see France running out of the kitchen area, running up the stairs with America chasing behind him. But... America wasn't wearing his sunglasses ... weird.
France ran behind me, America skidded to a stop in front of me. He looked furious. "Ok America... let's talk about this." I said nervously, holding my hands up.
"Yeah America, lets taco about this." France spoke from behind me, a smirk on his face. I could literally see fume coming out of America's ears, if looks could kill... France would be dead.
America lunged forward, I stopped him, trying to hold him back. "America calm down!" I shouted, trying to get through him.
"Let me at him!" America growled. He was literally pushing me backwards, trying to get to France. 'Where is Russia when you need him?' I thought.
Out of the corner of my eye I see South. "South help us out over here!" I called out to him. He ran over, taking his arms and wrapping under and over around America's shoulders.
We kept America back until he pushed me to the side and shoved South back. France then ran back down the stairs, with America hot on his heels. Me and South bolted after America.
Your POV
I pulled into the driveway, letting out a sigh. "Finally home." I get out of the car, shutting the door behind me. Russia did the same, pulling back his hood showing his messy hair which was pointed in different directions.
    I giggle, walking up to him, using my hand to smooth out his hair. He blushed lightly, then a mischievous smirk played on his lips. I gave him a confused look, till he gripped my wrist and yanked me forward, pecking me on the lips.
    I blushed, pulling my hand out of his grip gently, lightly hitting him on the shoulder. "You scoundrel how dare you!" I said playfully.
    He laughed, "Worth it." I smiled, then walked up to the front door with Russia behind me. I heard a noise which sounded like a crash. I look over at Russia with a confused look, he copied my look.
    I unlocked the door, opening it. I walked in slipping off my shoes, Russia doing the same once he closed the front door. I threw the keys in the bowl and walked into the living room. It looked as if a tornado came through. Couches were knocked over, the TV on the ground slightly cracked, the coffee table was now upside down, and the chairs on each side of the couch were knocked over.
    In the middle of the disaster was America being held back by Phil and South while France was telling puns right across from them.
    "France! Stop making puns your just making him more angry!" Phil yelled at France.
    I would have laughed, but sadly I had to be serious about this. I was annoyed, it was a mess! And I'm definitely not cleaning this up. I look up by the banister to see everyone, or almost everyone Poland, Soviet, and Germany was standing on the outskirts of the living room, looking down at the area in shock.
    I crossed my arms, "What is going on!?" Everyone's attention snapped over to me, everything going silent.
    Echo slithered onto Russia's shoulders. The small group in the middle of the room separated. "Ooo this will be good." I heard Reich comment.
    "Um... well you see what happened was I was trying to find my sunglasses..."
    "Oh you mean these?" Russia questioned, holding up America's sunglasses with a smirk.
    He glared at Russia, "I knew it!"
    "Dude I literally told you he took them!" France exclaimed. America stomped over to Russia, snatching the sunglasses from his hands.
    "So destroyed my living and probably my whole house looking for it?" I questioned, giving America a stern stare.
    "Well-"
    "France got him angry and America chased him around the house." Phil interrupted him.
    "Dude!" America said.
    "Oh really?" America and France both winced. I let out a sigh, "You both are going to clean up this whole place and... is my window broken?" I questioned, gesturing to the shattered window my the couch. How did that even happen?
    I let out a sigh, "Just clean up your mess and cover the window." Both America and France nodded, getting to work immediately.
    "How did you two get home at the same time?" South asked, glaring at Russia who had the most smuggest look I have ever seen.
     I was about to answer before Russia wrapped his arm around my shoulder saying, "(Y/N) and I ran into each other. Turned out she was having a bad day at work so we had lunch together."
    I nodded, that was pretty much the truth. I did literally run into Russia, I was having a bad day, and we had lunch together.
    "Are you ok? What happened?" Phil asked, giving me a worried look.
    I shrug, "Just a lot of stuff happening at once. My aunt wanting me to go into the weapon business and then my own board wanted to do something different which I denied quickly. Then the game didn't make it through."
    "Well... wan to go swimming?" North asked from the top of the stairs. I smiled, "Of course!" I ran up the stairs and into my room. Changing into my bikini, I then changed the last of my bandages to my water proof ones.
North's POV
    Once she was gone, Russia was about to walk past me as well but I grabbed his arm. "Anything else you would like to tell us?" I question, glaring at him.
    He shrugged, "What do you mean?"
    "You are holding something back. What is it?" I questioned.
     A smirk formed on Russia's face, "Fine if you really want to know then. I kissed her."
    "You what!?" I exclaimed.
    "You heard me." Russia said smugly.
    "Your dead." I heard America said from the living room. I raised a fist to punch him.
    "Na ah, I wouldn't do that if I were you. Remember I have a cinnamon roll on my shoulders at the moment." Russia said, gesturing to Echo on his shoulders.
    I lowered my fist, then let him go. He walked off, with a smug look still on his face. Everyone glaring at him as he walked away into his room. I look down at my fist. I was about to lunch him... because he kissed her. I... don't understand? Why? Why would I do that?
    "He's so dead when I get my hands on him." I heard America growl. This time Soviet didn't even threaten America for his threat on his son. Strange? What is going on with all of us?
??? POV
    "She didn't take the deal." I spoke through the phone.
    "So what now?" A male voice asked through the phone.
    I let out a sigh, "I didn't want to have to do this... but... I guess I have no choice." I sit down in a chair. "Threaten her life. If she doesn't  go with you... do what you want." I then hung up that phone. I didn't want it to come to this (Y/N) ... but you are too much like your brother.
    You must be eliminated ... just like he needed to be.
