RusCan: Winter Nightmares (Sequel to Snowy Relationships)

Chapter 13: Change

Chapter 13: Change

Canada got the use of his crutches fairly quickly, he could easily walk around with them, only difference was Russia had to hold into Kumajirou as they walked. Canada made sure to look for any for any ice this time, sometimes putting the end of the crutch on a patch of ice but realized it and got away easily instead of slipping; the mistake would not be repeated. He never really thought Paris as "beautiful", Russia always mocked it and the rest of the country just as France would do to him. But for once, he didn't mock. The grass was covered with a light blanket of snow but the streets and side walks were mostly clear except for the patches of ice. Snow slowly fell off tree branches as they walked by. The air was cool, not freezing, simply cool, which Russia seemed to like the best. The city had a warm feeling to it though, probably because it was close to Christmas.

It was nice, the both of them wanted to get out of the house and this seemed to work out well. Canada kept up his pace as he walked along with the Russian close to him. They were careful walking on the ice, Russia helping the boy when he need it. Russia wasn't very sure on where they were going though, Canada seemed to have some idea on what to do but he hadn't said anything to Canada; He simply followed closely. When they came to the sidewalk's end, Canada stopped and leaned against the wall of a bakery, out of breath and already tired. Russia came up next to him and looked over at him. "Tired already Matvey?" He questioned, Canada only gave him a glance. Russia looked around a little bit more and noticed something. "Matvey. It's almost noon. We could get some lunch if you want."

Canada thought about it for a moment then got a great big smile across his face. "Yeah! I know this really good café if you're willing to take a walk." Canada said.

"You mean if you're willing to take the walk da?" Russia smiled a bit. Canada nodded and got settled onto his crutches again. Russia watched at first as Canada began to stumble but then got used to it once again and walked pretty easily, waiting for the light to go then crossing with the Russian close behind. He continued following until something, a big something, caught his eye. Canada looked back when he realized the Russian was no longer behind him and came back.

"You're interested in that?" Canada questioned. He looked up at the tall monument with the Russian.

"Not really, it just distracted me." Russia said and looked away back to the boy. "It's just a monument."

"It's the Eiffel Tower, not just a monument you know." Canada said. Russia only shrugged and began to walk away, the opposite way Canada was going though. Canada stood there and looked at the Russian as he walked away, only for him to realize he was going the wrong way and quickly came back and past the Canadian. Canada giggled a bit and tried to keep up with the fast walking Russian. "Why were you interested?"

"I wasn't."

"You stopped and looked, you usually don't do that." Canada said. "So-"

"Where's the café?" Russia turned the subject around, he didn't really have a reason why he stopped anyway. Canada caught up as Russia stopped to give him a chance then followed behind once Canada passed him again. He followed him across the street, Canada almost slipping against as he got back onto the sidewalk, then wondered down until Canada stopped in front of a small café. Russia looked at the little café, it certainly looked cozy and warm, and crowded; he glared a bit, oh how he hated crowds.

"Calm down Russia, it's not too bad."

"I still hate crowds..." he sighed.

"It clears out fast, trust me." Canada smiled a bit. Russia looked at him, it wasn't long before he smiled back. He opened the door and held it as Canada made his way inside then sat at a table before a French couple could, they got a little angry but that only made Russia and Canada laugh a bit.
