Russia watches as America hugged his father and turned away. As happy as he was for America, his heart was squeezed with jealousy.
He'd never be hugged that way by his dad. Never be accepted.
He felt tears sting his eyes and his feet walking away from the scene, a door closed behind him.
Soon he was running, it was late and nobody was there. He didn't know where he wanted to go, just out.
Away.
Eventually he made it to some resemblance of a forest, it was clear and you could still see the houses from where he was but it was good enough.
He scratched his back against a tree, sliding down and holding his knees. His while body shook. He felt so weak.
Everything was wrong, his heart screamed the pain that he would never get to have that moment with his father.
A fat tear carved a course down his cheek and hit his pants. Another soon followed.
Slowly the dry quiet crying stsrted as Russia broke down. No matter how hard he tried to stem it a dam had been broken and he couldn't stop the flood.
His breaths were sharp and uneven, cutting through the air. He felt alone, totally, completely, alone.
A foot hit the dirt and Russia turned to the noise.
Without a word America sat next to Russia and leaned into him, laying one arm akwardly around him. It only reached partway but that was okay. Russia continues to cry and America was there, silently giving his support.
When Russia finally stopped he took one hand gingerly and kissed it. He trailed along scars he had long since memorized, kissing the tear trails on Russias cheeks before kissing his forehead.
"I'm here for you Russia."
The words were soft, and pure. Echoing out along the dark forest.
"Do you want to go back to the house yet?"
Russia shook his head, America leaning against him, quietly giving Russia the support he needed.
They sat there like that for awhile before Russia finally wiped the tear streaks off his cheeks and got up, offering a hand to America.
They walked home, the only sound they needed was the sound of their footsteps as they rang throughout the quiet neiborhood.
