I can not belive you all. In 2 days. 127 to 207 reads. My God. I have never learnt how to swim and I am drowning in attention. But this is a good kind of drowning. At least I'll die so very very happy I wouldn't even care I'll be in hell.
How the heck can I express all my platonic love for you all. I have no idea, so I'm just going to continue writing these one shots that you all seem to like to my absolute best ability.
XOXOXOXO- a very happy writer 😄😄😄
((Edit: I found this picture on A-Boring-Potato12345's profile page and fell in love. Thought it was kinda suitable to put here for the theme XD)) ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
"Russland. Russland wake up liebling(1),"
"Wha... Германия(2)?"
"I have to go to work, Russland. I'll see you tonight."
"Дорогая(3) it's 5 am..."
"I know, but EU has been really demanding recently. I have a lot needed to be done. I'll be back tonight. Tschüss liebling(4)."
Russia grunted and buried his face further into the warm blanket he was clutching. He heard a small lighthearted chuckle, then felt a pair of lips on his forehead. He smiled in the darkness of his still closed eyelids as Germany's footsteps faded out of their bedroom, and the click of their house door shut.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• (Time skip to tonight)
"Russland? What are you doing here? It's 1 o'clock in the morning du solltest schlafen(5)!"
"You said you'll be back tonight... so I wanted to wait for you...didn't think you would be this late..." Russia slurred, tired from his seat on the couch he was sitting on for the past 2 hours waiting for Germany to come back home.
"Komm schon, let's get you to bed, you dumm Russki(6)." Germany said, hooking one of Russia's long arms over his head, and proceeded to half carry, half walk the tired country back to their room. And Russia fell asleep the nanosecond his head touched his pillow, failing to see the light grey circles forming at the bottom of his lover's eyes as he tiredly looked at him before sleeping himself.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••(Time skip again to a week later lol :p)
"Hey Ukraine. How are you?"
"Russia!! Ух, пройшло так довго(7) big brother!! Canada and I have been doing good, Belarus come say hi to Russia!! She was just visiting, that's why she's in the house if you're wondering."
"Oh wow, that's nice. Suppose I should visit you all sometime too, shouldn't I." Russia laughed, and the bell like laughter of his younger brother sounded from the computer too. Ukraine's face suddenly disappeared from the screen as he reached over to give a nosy smooch to the passing figure of Canada who waving cheerfully at Russia. Russia waved back at the Skype image of the maple syrup loving country.
"SOoo, how are things with you and Germany then? Got some new action?" Ukraine smirked, making Russia blush slightly and laughed. He leaned back on his chair, but still close enough to let his brother see him.
"Nahh, Germany's been so busy this entire week. He leaves the house at 5 or earlier in the mornings, and only comes back at around midnight. I barely get to spend time with him nowadays," Russia vented in a tone he only uses with his siblings.
Ukraine giggled at his brother. "It must be the upcoming Country meetings. EU must be working Germany's butt off. Canada says France has been complaining too. She was complaining so much that Britain made EU give her a few days off to save his ears from more French whining."
The two siblings laughed again, until suddenly Russia heard the sound of keys clinking outside, and the lock of the house door opening. His heart soared as he realized what that meant.
"Ukraine I'm afraid I'm going to have to call you back. I'll talk to you soon."
"OK, bye big brother! Talk to you soon!"
Russia quickly ended the video call and shut down the computer. Standing up from his chair, he could hear the front door opening, and two people's voices talking?
"Germany?Дорогая, это ты(8)?" Russia called, walking out to the living room.
"Russland there you are! This is my co-worker America. I offered him to come to our house to try some first class German beer I keep in stock around here before we head off to our next meeting."
"Nice to meet you, Russland." The other country said, slightly shorter than him. He was wearing a formal suit like Germany, but he was also wearing sunglasses. A cocky grin was spread across his face as he shook Russia's hand.
"Its Russia. Only Germany calls me that." Russia said slightly coldly, pulling his hand away as soon as possible. He didn't like this America guy, especially when he looked at Germany when he spoke up.
"Great! Ame, you just stay here when I go get the beer. I can't believe you never tried freshly brewed German beer before. Russia entertain our guest please? Danke und ich liebe dich(9)!" Germany said happily in contrast to the tired black bags under his eyes before walking into the kitchen.
"So...Ame. You just joined the workforce or something? Because Germany never told me anything about you."
"Oh I'm sorry. It's actually America. Only Germany calls me that." America cut in, mimicking Russia's words before. The fake kindness in his voice along with the big smirk on his red and white striped face made Russia's blood boil.
The two tall countries stared at each other, Russia with a hard cold stare hiding a pit of fiery rage and anger directed straight at the cocky country in front of him. America stared right back, unfazed by the ice and flames and returning it with his own gaze, shielded by his sunglasses that he had yet to take off, even in the shade of the house.
Their stare down was interrupted when a rather low murmuring entered the living room again. Germany was holding his smartphone to his ear in one hand and in the other were two green glass bottles of beer.
After saying a quick goodbye he immediately pocketed the phone, and with him now free hand gave one of the bottles to America.
"I am so sorry freund Amerika(10). EU rescheduled the meeting, it now starts in 5 minutes time. We have to rush there ASAP. So I'm afraid I can not get you the freshest beer right now. But I got these bottles made just 3 days ago by my people, I hope that will be ok?"
"Oh that's totally ok, Germany. You can always get me those next time, ya?" America said, popping open his beer bottle with a twist of his hand as he smiled charmingly back at Germany. Russia could feel his rage increasing, and his hands slowly clenched by his sides.
"Oh yes, definitely next time. Tshcüss liebling(see 4)!! I will be back by tonight. Don't wait for me ok, you need to rest too." Germany said, rushing out of the door once again with beer in one hand and papers in the other.
America was followed closely behind, but not before making eye contact with Russia one more time before disappearing out of the door. Cold fury was in those eyes, now with the dark glasses taken off. Along with a promise. A bad type of promise.
They jumped slightly at the sudden loud honk of the car outside. Germany was in the passenger seat but had reached over to push the honk in the driver's wheel. He waved impatiently at them and tapped on the clock on the dash of the car.
America turned back, grinned one final time and walked to the car, getting in the driver's seat and drove away.
Russia quickly shut the door. His anger, and god forbade JEALOUSY, was burning him inside out, and that America guy was fueling it with his cocky grin and attitude with HIS boyfriend.
He stormed back over to the computer, grabbing his phone along with him and he sat down and immediately started typing out an email. There was some calls and emailing to the boss that needed to be done.
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••(time skip to next morning)
Germany slowly got up, feeling much more relaxed than he had ever felt this entire week. He groggily peeled open his eyelids and turned his head slightly, and catching sight of a sleeping Russia. He was spooning him from behind, face nuzzled into his neck.
Germany smiled sleepily and reached one hand to the side table by their bed for his glasses. As he groped around he suddenly realized his phone was not in its rightful place at the charger, but the thought quickly flew away. He was way too content and relaxed in his boyfriend's strong arms and back against his warm body to be thinking straight.
Speaking of which, it was actually getting a bit too warm for himself, not that Germany ever minded a bit of heat. After locating his glasses he decided to just put it closer to the edge of the table so he could get it easier later. He wanted to stay in the bed some more, basking in the warmth of the sun and his boyfriend combined...
The warmth of the SUN?? Last time he checked, he had been waking up BEFORE the sun, and leaving the house before the first rays of sun even reached the horizon. Not to mention his brain suddenly reminded him that it was a Wednesday and not even a weekend...
Germany immediately sat up on the bed, Russia's arms still wrapped around his waist and he snatched his glasses off the table and jammed them onto his face.
The sun was already well over the horizon, shining brightly into the room from the windows. Germany's stomach sank as he saw the clock on the wall opposite him. It read 11:45. He was so very, very, very late for work.
"доброе утро Любовь моя(11). Did you sleep well?" A groggy voice broke him from his bubbling anxiety. He looked down beside himself to see a awaken Russia with something alike to mischief in his eyes and tone of voice.
Russia smirked mentally, as he continued looking at Germany who was staring back at forward between him and the clock with a expression that can only be described as the face of anxiety, once contentment and pure panic combined together.
"If you're worrying about your work right now, don't be. I called EU yesterday and he kindly agreed to give you a few days off work. Your phone is downstairs, also if you want to know. You've been so tired lately so I thought.. you deserve to have a day to sleep in." Russia shrugged, and sat up to hold Germany better in his arms.
Germany continued gapping speechlessly, his mind still trying to understand everything that was going on. He got a few days off. With kind permission from EU. 5 days before the Country meetings, which was the most important thing to his very strict boss right now. There was no way.
"There is no way." he whispered quietly, makin Russia look at him questionly. "There is no way, that EU would have let me go so easily. France was another story. You threatened him with something, didn't you Russland?"
Russia laughed sheepishly. "I may have threatened him with a 100 Russian tanks driving right up to his office and house and demolishing everything in sight."
Germany laughed, and Russia sighed in relief. It was so long since he heard that quiet laughter, it was refreshing to hear it again.
He was suddenly wrapped in a hug, Germany's arms barely wrapped around his larger sized body. Russia quickly returned it. "Danke, солнышко(12). For looking out for me."
"...no problem, дорогoй(13)."
And for the remainder of the day and the rest of Germany's leave, the couple decided on movie marathons and just, overall spend time together. There was a lot to catch up on anyway, and a lot of cuddles operations to be executed.
The next time Russia ever felt his lover needed a break, he just gave EU a quick call. And everything would be sorted quickly and utterly calmly.
