Chapter 31: Understanding

Canada had a hard time sleeping that night, he kept thinking Belarus would sneak into his room and murder him. He had clutched onto Kumajirou tightly and looked at the door several times to make sure no one was there; he didn't even feel comfortable with the door locked. What he woke up to didn't help.

Canada opened his heavy eyes only to find Russia staring at him. "Ahh!" Canada screamed and jumped back, falling off the bed too. Russia stood there blankly, not knowing how to react to that.

"Well good morning to you too..." He said. Canada popped back up on the other side of the bed.

"How the maple did you get in here? ! I locked the door!"

"There's another door to this room Matvey."

"....There is?" Canada said, now a little afraid.

"Da. I can't tell you were it is though."

"Why not! ?""It's a secret." Russia smiled. "So. Are you ready to leave?"

"Eh? Leave?"

"Da. I did say I would show you Moscow didn't I?"

"O-Oh. Yeah."

"Da. So hurry up and get dressed." Russia headed toward the door. "Take a shower too. You smell." He left out the door. Canada sat there a bit dazed, then decided to sniff his arm pit, a real America move, and damn he did smell; the smell of fear....

After showering and changing into a clean sweatshirt and jeans, he met Russia downstairs, avoiding any eye contact with Belarus. Before she could even say a word to the two, Russia grabbed Canada and pulled him out to the car, he almost dropped Kumajirou in the process. Russia was obviously in a rush to get the hell out of the house, Canada didn't want to slow him down. He quickly climbed into the car as Russia got in and started it up. They were on the main road within minutes.

"So." Canada asked. "Where are we going?"

"Krasnaya ploshchad." Russia said. Canada pouted.

"English?"

"Red Square." Russia said. "I think you'll like it, it's Ukraine's favorite place in Moscow."

"Oh."

"Just don't get lost, and don't talk to any women trying to... touch you."

"I told you I didn't do anything back!"

"Just making sure." Russia smirked. "You are French." Canada moaned.

"Shut up..." He mumbled. Russia smiled a bit, he was amused.

After a couple minutes of driving, they arrived by Red Square. Russia easily got out as Canada once again climbed out, this time more of a fall out. Russia had to wait for the boy to get his balance and grab Kumajirou before finally going to the Square. "You carry that bear around everywhere don't you?" Russia asked. Canada smiled and gave a big nod.

The Red Square was smack in the middle of Moscow. It was bounded on one side by walls, the color buildings were everywhere now, the bricks of the square red (Canada guessed that's how it got that name), this place was huge! You could see St. Basil's Church, Zemsky prikaz Museum, the Kazan Cathedral, statues and monuments, everything represented respect.

Russia enjoyed coming here. He didn't like any crowds or interacting with anyone, but he liked seeing the place; the colors, the buildings themselves, his people, he enjoyed seeing them. Canada liked seeing this place, it was just like the pictures in the book. He looked around, thinking also about Russia's past, how much war and rebellions had gone on throughout this city's life, throughout Russia's life. He looked at the Russian. "What's with the look?" Russia asked. Canada pouted a bit, Russia blinked. "What?"
