Candy Stars || Ruscan ]

Part 6

Canada was disappointed in himself for not getting Russias number. At first he had no intention of doing so, but as soon as he had returned home from the mall regret washed over him. He was sure though that with the countries attitude they would have never agreed to give him their number.

Right now though he was being driven to work, and was staring out the window while lost in thoughts about the other country. Finland noticed from his rear view mirror that Canadas behavior was very off.

"You seem distracted, Canada." He said, pulling the Canadian out of their thoughts and back into reality. "Ah- that's because I am.."

"Hm? Why? Something bugging you?" Finland asked as they stopped at a red light. "Uh.. yea, something like that uh- do you remember that country we saw?" He asked, his voice quiet and almost shy as if he was ashamed to be asking the question.

"Well- we see a lot of countries on our rides- I don't really remember them all. Which one do you remember?" He asked back. "The one that looked kinda like a dragon- with the tricolored flag."

Finland though for a moment and then nodded. "The mean one? Yea, Why?" Canada paused for a moment, biting his lip as he searched for words before finally speaking. "I uh- saw him at the mall the other day and I couldn't stop thinking about him so I got his name, but now I'm sad I didn't get his number-" Finlands eyes widened in surprise. "Huh? Why? Why would you ever wanna be friends with a dick like that??"

"I uh- he was interesting man I don't know. I just guess I thought his dragon features were cool cause like- I've never seen anything like it." There was a pause before Canada could faintly hear Finland laughing at him. "What's so funny about that?" Canada asked, to which Canada looked back at him with a shit-eating grin.

"Sounds to me like our little star here has a big fat crush." Canada shook his head furiously at the others words, repeating over and over again that what they had said simply wasn't true.

Finland just snickered. "Mhmmm.. and if you don't have a crush on that guy my names not Finland. Ahaaa.. maybe you'll get together and I'll have one more person to drive around-" As Finland continued speaking Canada reached up to the radio, turning it on to drown out the other countries voice and groaning in embarrassment.

"Why would I fall in love with a guy like that. And even more so if by some miracle I did catch feelings for him why would he ever like me. He made his distaste for me very clear when I tried to get his name."

Finland said nothing in reply, just continued driving with a huge satisfied smirk plastered to his face.

Canada spoke one last time during the car ride, mostly to himself.
"... I just think he's neat. Ok?.. ok."

Russia too had been plagued by thoughts of the smaller country. He knew their name, so that wasn't of interest to him. What intrigued him was why someone like Canada had been so adamant about getting his name.

He was basically a nobody, and even he knew that very well so why would such a well-known person show any interest in him? It made no sense. None at all.

Had he done something bad? He certainly hoped he wasn't on a hidden camera show or anything, because if he was he'd expect to get paid. As well as the fact that he had been quite rude and if that was the case no more hidden camera shows would be interested in him as an option so he'd lose a lot of money.

But Canada wasn't known for that kind of stuff.. he was known for modeling very revealing clothes or holding up your product while winking on a big billboard in front of a trashy supermarket. Or at least that was all Russia knew him for. 

But maybe there was the option that the other had truly been interested in him. Maybe he thought he was hot or something stupid like that. Russia laughed at the idea which he didn't do often so obviously the idea was very dumb.

He had looked up the other country the day he returned from the mall, trying to find if there was some show, or podcast, or news article that would give him an explanation as to why he had been approached only to find nothing but a few extra scandalous photos of the country in nothing but ribbons to promote some kind of Christmas event.

It was.. kinda cute, but everyone thought that kinda stuff was cute. Or else it wouldn't get made. And Russia wasn't a gross pervert, and he wouldn't be caught dead looking at something like that. So he closed out of it quickly.

As a matter of fact he was still a virgin, and planned to keep it that way until he eventually found a person who didn't run up to him in malls and cause a huge ruckus. Even though Russia himself often caused a ruckus when he was angry.

Overall, he definitely hoped he'd never have to run into that annoying country again.

Never, ever again.
