War or Love / Reich x Soviet

Chapter 11: Not so bad

When Soviet Union woke up, he was a little cold and saw if someone was with him but the bed was empty. He went through the house, but there was no one there, there was no sign of the children or Reich, except that the two cars were missing. Soviet Union looked everywhere, but when he searched the upstairs rooms and looked out the window that his car was parked and the car from Estonia, he went downstairs. Shortly before he was at the door, it opened and four children came running in with the dog, then someone came in with a basket full of food and the rest of them followed her, also with lots of food in their arms.

"Where have you been?" "In town!", Estonia answered him. "Who had the idea and who took my car?" "I was both!", reported Third Reich, who was just putting everything down on the table in the kitchen and now came to Soviet: "I thought, maybe I can do something too and as I asked who wants to come along, everyone wanted and one car was not enough." Soviet came closer to Reich. For Reich, it looked as if Soviet wanted to punish him and the panic rose in him as he kept walking backwards. "I know I should have asked and I'm really sorry!" Third Reich was already bumping into the table behind him.

He positioned his arms protectively closer to his face and ducked a little. Then he felt two big hands put on his shoulder and he looked Soviet uncertain in the face. "Please stop assuming that I want to harm you!", the bigger one said in a calm tone and Reich quickly calmed down before he got a hug from Soviet Union, which he enjoyed very much. "I am very grateful for your help!", he thanked him and through the smaller one went a tingly feeling and he hugged Soviet back. "You're welcome!" After a few moments, Soviet let go and took his jacket from him to hang it on the wardrobe.

When Soviet Union came back Third Reich and Estonia put all food in the cupboards. "Has anyone seen you?" "No, I stayed in the car. Hiding all the time while shopping is too stressful for me." "I'll take care of the food again today!" "No, I'll do that, you've been cooking for the last few days and it's the last day before you go home. So I suggest I take over the cooking and you spend more time with your dad.", suggested Reich Estonia. "If it doesn't get too much for you, you can do it yourself."

So Reich took care of it, got yesterday's pancakes and searched for the other ingredients and materials he needed. Estonia went into the living room with the children, but when Soviet wanted to leave, his attention turned to Third Reich. He watched him for a while, because he was unsure how Reich was doing, but then some other things about him struck him that he had never noticed and he couldn't stop looking at him. This pleasant tingling went through Soviet again. Reich looked over at him and asked: "Didn't you want to spend time with the kids?" This tore Soviet Union out of his thoughts and he tried to answer, but he didn't stop stuttering and walked away quickly.

< What's the matter with him? Has he become speechless? It looked like he had never seen anyone cook. It was kind of cute... What the hell is wrong with me again?! > He was still preparing the pancake soup, but strangely he kept thinking of Soviet Union. "Can someone help me please, to set the table?" Soon Soviet came to help Reich and took care of it, he even took care of the bowls of soup. "I have to take a quick breath outside!", Third Reich said before he opened the door and went out, where he first stretched his huge wings. In the meantime Soviet came out.

Reich then asked: "Is something?" "I just wanted to see if you weren't getting stupid ideas again." "Don't worry, I just have to move the wings. What about your soup?" "It's too hot for me right now." Third Reich stayed out for a short time, then he got too cold. When he was back inside he immediately went to the dining table and ate his soup, shortly afterwards Soviet Union also came to the dining table. Everyone was enjoying Reich's pancake soup, but the whole time it felt like someone was watching him.

When they were done, the children went outside, with Kira and Estonia came with too. Meanwhile the two men were sitting on the sofa. "Thank you for saving my life last night." "It wasn't anything big. The main thing is that you don't come up with such stupid ideas ever again!" "Soviet?" "What is?" "Why did you act so strangely before?" "What do you mean?" "The way you watched me cook?" "I just wanted to see how your injury is doing."
