War or Love / Reich x Soviet

Chapter 7: Father and Son

When Soviet woke up, he felt as if someone had hit him three times with a hammer. After what felt like an eternity, he felt a little better and he decided, after looking around the room, to look for his children and Reich. But when he tried to open the door, it was locked. He hoped someone was there to get him out: "Hello, is there anyone out there?" Already he heard something and the door opened. "How are you feeling dad?" "Estonia? I have a few headaches, but otherwise I'm actually fine. What happened?"

"You drank too much vodka again in too short a period of time and scared my siblings and what you did with Reich you don't even want to know." "And where are they?" "They are asleep upstairs and I'm making breakfast." With these words, Estonia went back into the kitchen. Soviet didn't know exactly how to apologize to them, but instead thinking about it for a long time, he went up the stairs.

Once at the top he went to his children's room and slowly opened the door to see if they were in the room. Soviet Union saw his children and Third Reich, snuggled close together, lying in the largest bed. Soviet came closer to the big bed, but then Kazakhstan woke up and moved a little backwards, thus waking up the others in a chain reaction. When Reich slowly opened his eyes, he stared terrified at Soviet and hid under the covers. > I must have done something really bad. <

Soviet sat down on the floor to show them how sorry he was for doing what he had done, he stretched out his arms. The children understood, climbed out of bed and hugged their father. "Whatever I did yesterday, I'm so sorry." "We forgive you papa!" After a long hug, Soviet asked his children: "What did I actually do last night?" "You wanted to hit me with a bottle and you kissed Reich!" The father was already feeling uncomfortable.

"Not only that!" He heard coming from the blanket. Soviet Union let go of his children again and went closer to the bed, then he uncovered Reich a little bit. Third Reich had its head stuck back in its feathers. Soviet easily passed over Reich's soft and very sensitive wing, which winced. Reich slowly took the wing from his face and looked at Soviet with a not very pleased expression on his face. "Can't you forgive me or tell me what happened?"

Reich then quickly pulled his wing away and started again on the banket to ignore Soviet. "Dad, should I tell you what happened?" "Yes, please." He went over to Latvia and she whispered something in his ear that only made him feel uncomfortable. Soviet Union didn't know what to say to that, he couldn't even formulate a sentence: "I ... I ... I'm... I'm..." "An apology cannot change what happened! I will not forgive you that easily for this pain and this humiliation! I am lucky that I am a man and not a woman."

Soviet Union wasn't feeling good at all. Suddenly came from below: "Breakfast is ready!" Everyone was glad that the uncomfortable atmosphere disappeared. The children ran quickly downstairs and only Reich and Soviet were in the room. "Where are your walking sticks?" "Somewhere in a room full of boxes." Soviet thought and before he could ask, Reich made it clear to him: "I can not go down, not even with the supports." "Well then, I'll carry you."

Before Reich could lodge an objection, Soviet Union carefully slipped his hands under Reich's body and picked him up. Soviet carried him carefully down the stairs into the dining room, where all the children were waiting impatiently. Third Reich was carefully placed on a free chair by Soviet, after which he also sat on a free seat. A little later, Estonia came with plates on which the food was.

At some point Reich was also given a plate, but when he saw that there was meat in his meal, he leaned so hard against the backrest that he fell back and hit his back on the floor. He made noises of intense pain. "What's going on?", Soviet asked worried and looked at the plate. He quickly realized why Reich was falling over. "Estonia, please swap the food to the vegetarian version of it." She was already taking care of it while Soviet got pain pills.

Soviet came back quickly, Reich was not much better. Soviet Union picked him up carefully and carried him to the sofa. He brought him a glass of water and gave him a pill. Reich took it without thinking too much. Soviet sat down at the table with his children again. After breakfast, Third Reich was much better. So that he could enjoy his meal.

After breakfast everyone was bored and Soviet suggested: "How about a game of chess?" "Gladly!", replied Reich and Soviet gave him his walking sticks so that he could get back to the table. So they played and Reich won the game very quickly. The children were enthusiastic and marveled at Reich, since no one they knew could defeat their father in chess. Soviet lost one revenge after another and when he looked at the clock he noticed: "I'm way too late, I'm extremely sorry, but I have to go see you later!"

He slammed the door and it was quiet for a few moments until Ukraine suggested: "How about we do a roleplay game together!" Everyone agreed and they played for a few hours, but Third Reich quickly got tired again and lay down in Soviet's bed. After sleeping for a while, Reich was awakened by something cold and wet that pressed against his face. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't believe his eyes, it was: "Kira?" His dog poke him again.

When she noticed that Reich was awake, she licked his whole face, but when he turned around she jumped on the bed, lay down and rested her head on Reich's arm. Third Reich then stroked her head. "How did you get here?", Third Reich asked her. Reich turned to her and saw something red, probably blood, on one of her paws. "I found her on the street with one of your sons.", reply from Soviet Union.

"One of my sons?" "Yes, he's with my children right now." Third Reich just couldn't believe it and his counterpart recognized that: "Get up and come with me!" Reich stood up and Kira jumped from the bed as Reich grabbed his walking sticks. He went out of the room and looked into the living room where the children were and he went to them. The little Countryhuman saw his father and immediately ran to him. Third Reich got on his knees and reached out his left arm to hug his son.

"Germany, I'm so happy to see you!" They hugged for a while, until Reich asked: "How did you get here?" "I wanted to surprise you and I ran away, then I took the train to the last station, but as we went on we came to destroyed villages and cities. After a while we got into a blizzard and got lost, but we found a town full of people dressed in weird clothes and speaking a strange language. There we went to sleep for the night in an alley and walked through a day, then we were in a huge city. In this town some strange men tried to catch us and one of them caught me, but then Kira bit him, but he hurted her paw. At some point they cornered us and aimed weapons at us, but then Soviet came and saved us and brought us to you."

"At least nothing worse has happened to you!", Reich said relieved and hugged his son again. "Are you hungry Germany?" "Yes, very hungry!" "Well, then I'll get you something, not that you will starve for us." Then Soviet Union got some of the food from before, but just like Reich, the vegetarian version.
