One Truth

America woke up to the sound of knocking on his apartment door. He stayed up quite late last night watching movies.

He opened his bleary eyes and dragged his feet to the front door. "Hello? Is there anything you need?" He rubbed his eyes with a yawn.

"America come with me right now."

America started to focus a little, his eyes adjusted to the bright morning sunlight. There stood in his doorway was a familiar tall man.

"Russia? What are you doing here this early?" America snapped out of his daze. "It's 11 AM already."

"Oh, my bad. If you want me to go with you, at least let me change first."

As per so, America freshened up a little and changed into a presentable outfit. Albeit he looked a little drowsy, he seemed as good looking as he usually does.

They both drove to a studio at a high speed, Russia dragged him inside by the hand. Seeing the large studio, America was a bit alarmed. "Where are we going? This is a studio right?" He clenched the Russian's hand tighter.

"Yes, this is one of the most famous chat shows that usually covers drama topics in the entertainment industry." He finally answered once they entered through backstage.

There was a silence between the two of them. "Why am I here then?"

Russia stopped walking, the workers around them buzzed busily as they prepared the set. They were frantic, like it was the biggest scoop of the century. They didn't even notice the two of them had already entered because they had too much on their plate.

"You're here because, you're going to clear your name once and for all, today."

America was taken aback for a second, "I don't have any proof."

"I do"

The American stared at him intensely, Russia stared back then asked, "do you trust me?" His eyes ripples with determination and gentleness. America could see his own reflection in his eyes.

He nodded without a second thought. This brought a smile on the Russian's face.

The lights on the main set lit up, signaling the start of the show. The audience clapped and cheered as the host walked in.

All of those noises were just a blur to the two of them, the only thing they had in their sights was each other.

"-now let's invite our first guest for today's show, the former number one star, America!" He extended an arm toward the door separating backstage and the main set.

Russia gave him a light hug before patting his shoulder. "Good luck, I'll be right here."

He replied with a small nod, then walked to the main set. But as he passed Russia, the shorter male whispered In the other's ear mischievously.

"You owe me dinner for this."

The setup was quite simple, a coffee table and 3 sofas around it. The audience would have a clear view of the people who were going to sit in those three chairs.

One of the chairs was already occupied by the host. America paid no mind to the audience, the host invited him to sit down on one of the sofas.
