=Russia's POV=

I woke up from my sleep, my dream...well...memory kept replaying in my mind on loop. God I miss my childhood sometimes. Yawning as I sit up on my bed, I swing my legs over and grab my ushanka off the night stand. 

I get changed into my blue and white striped shirt with an Adidas jacket and long, Adidas pants. 

Walking down the stairs, I saw Ukraine in the kitchen looking out the window.

"You alrrright?" I asked concerned. Lately he has been a little self-conscious of himself.

"Huh? Oh, Russia. You're awake. I didn't hear you come down." He smiled over at me but I could tell it was forced and fake.

Ukraine has been self-conscious because he's trans-gender. Has been since the age of 13. Only been 2 years but society and school students aren't always on board with it. Especially the change rooms and bathrooms.

"You skipped my question." I walked over to him and put a hand on his shoulder. Ukraine sighed shakily, trying to hide away his pain. 

"It....it's just the new school...." He held him arms together, increasing pressure overtime making his nails dig into his skin.

"You'rrre going to be ok. Ve'll be herrre vith you." Ukraine nodded slowly, almost seeming hesitant to believe anything I said. 

"Rrright. Vhat do you vant forrr brrreakfast?" 

==========================================================================

"папа and Rrreich still arrren't down. You thrrree vait outside, I'm going to check on them." Well, it was more of a: 'goodbye, I'll see you this afternoon.' I just don't like being soft towards my family all the time. 

I reached their door but then realised. They fucked last night.

Hopefully they're covered. If not....I'm going to need bleach. 

I slowly turned the handle and peeked my head in and saw a blanket over them, but half of it was on the floor. I walked in and Reich was up. He noticed me walking towards them and tried to reach for my help.

"Russland! Help mich! Bitte!" Reich whisper-yelled, as he was trapped underneath my sleeping father. I only crouched down in front of him, just out of his reach. 

"Извините (sorry). Going to school now." By now, Reich has given up on trying to reach me for help. But as soon as that sentence left my mouth, his mood immediately changed.

"Oh? Vell behave bitte. Und try to make zome friendz." 

"Can't prrromise anything." I stood back up and gently rolled my father off of him. 

Reich sighed in relief and before I could exit he spoke, "Look after your siblingz for uz und have fun!" I hummed back to show I was listening. 

I got back outside and saw my siblings standing there. 

"Lets go."

===========================================================================

At this moment, we're sitting on the bus, enjoying the silence. 

Between us.

The rest of the bus was bat shit crazy.

I felt the bus stop and saw four more people board. The only seats left were the ones near us, in the middle. I was in the aisle seat with Kaz next to me on my right, who was to busy looking outside at the new and unfamiliar environment we were in. Raine and Bela were behind us, with Belarus trying to help comfort Ukraine for many obvious reasons.
