RusCan: Winter Nightmares (Sequel to Snowy Relationships)

Chapter 17: Unfortunately Ill

Chapter 17: Unfortunately Ill

Russia awoke to a familiar feeling, a familiar sound, and a familiar image. He had stayed close to Canada that night, after he was done crying that is. Russia had held onto him and even fell asleep with him like that. He liked the feeling of holding Canada in his arms, just as Canada liked the feeling of being held. He liked the sound of Canada's gentle breathing when he slept, that was the only thing he heard in the silence. Waking up and seeing him there made him smile a bit. Once Canada woke up, his soft smile only made Russia more happy.

Though something felt... not right...

OOO

"See! It feels just fine!" Canada stood firmly on his injured foot. It seemed to have healed fast, he barely felt any pain. Russia didn't seem to think it was healed though, not this fast.

"Just don't push it will you?" Russia buttoned up his coat. "And when we get to the airport, don't slip again." Russia looked back up at Canada, who didn't seem to take the advice too seriously.

"I told you I'm fine, I got this!" Canada jumped on his foot a bit. "See? It can hold up just fine."

"Don't push it..." Russia sighed.

"Calm down," Canada continued bouncing on it for another few seconds until it began to ache again, then he stopped. "It's not like I'm going to slip again." Canada went to go pick up Kumajirou, but stepping over the lose rug of the hotel room caused him to trip and fall backwards again onto the floor, back first. Russia looked at him on the ground and shook his head. "Shut up..."

OOO

"It's nice to finally be home." Russia dropped his luggage at the door and quickly went to lay down on the couch, leaving Canada to struggle in and over the luggage at the front door, almost falling over and having Kumajirou jump out of his arms. Canada got his balance for a moment, then fell over one of the bags and onto the floor; the ground was like a magnet to him. He rolled over a bit and got to his hands and knees, looking over into the living room toward Russia laying on the couch; he didn't seem to care one bit about what Canada was doing.

"Thanks for worrying." Canada stood up and dusted off his knees as Russia only continued to lay there. "Russia?" It was silent. Canada blinked and wondered over to Russia, looking over at him only to find that he was actually asleep. Canada got a stupid look on his face and poked Russia's cheek, just to be sure that he really was sleeping. He looked around and grabbed a soft folded blanket off a chair, unfolding it and laying it across Russia. He sighed and went back over to the door, dragging their things up the stairs and into their rooms. Kumajirou followed him around as he unloaded their things, throwing any dirty clothes into a basket to wash later.

"Why are we here?" Kumajirou asked.

"I told you," Canada started. "Ukraine and Belarus are giving Russia a birthday surprise." He suddenly got an upsetting feeling in his stomach when he remembered Belarus would be coming... that was never good. "Their gonna be here soon I think." He looked at his phone for the time. "Maybe in an hour."

Kumajirou sat on his back legs and lifted his front paws up. "Let the hell begin."

"Oh come on! Have more faith will you!"

"Belarus will kill you."

"I know..." Canada sunk down against the wall of his room. He sighed and put his hood up, he felt pretty cold. He took another look at his phone for the time, at least an hour had passed since they arrived here. Maybe Russia woke up by now, he thought. He stood back up, picking up the little bear with him, and made his way down the stairs and back to Russia. He peeked in to see him still there, the blanket still on him as well. Canada went toward the kitchen to go get some food Russia kept in the fridge for Kumajirou, but once he heard Russia moving around he turned back. He looked as Russia slowly lifted himself up, yawned, and even rubbed his eyes a bit. Canada came back over to Russia and looked at him. "Geez you were really tired huh?"
