Here We Are In The Future (HIATUS FOR A BIT)

Chapter 3, Small Talk.

Smol continuation of the last chapter:)
------------------------

"Great!" America exclaimed, his wings floofing up in happiness.

Reich nervously chuckled, yeaah... he meekly started to look around the Americans room, it was decently clean and organized. Some  posters dotted the walls like how bees cling onto their hive.

Most of the posters were Star Wars related. Neat.

"Uhm... you like Star Wars?" Reich asked, glancing at the posters on the wall.

"Yeah! They got me through hard times and they hold a special place in my heart! Have you watched them before, Reich?" Asked America, cocking his head to one side.

"I have not," Replied Reich. "I am interested though." He added.

"Oh perfect! Maybe once you're all done with your duties... we can... go on a movie marathon?" America asked, meek.

"Oh... uh sure!" Said Reich, actually excited by this thought.

"It's gonna be amazing! We'll have all sorts of snacks and drinks-" America waved his hands around wildly, his wings flexed with excitement. "And! We can snuggle under a soft blanket together!" Spilled America, he realized what he said and covered his mouth, embarrassed.

Reich was surprised by the last part, snuggle? W-with the Third Reich? What? He looked away from the eagle, feeling a bit of second-hand embarrassment.

It was quiet between them for a few moments, not a word was spoken. Even the Master Sword couldn't cut through the awkward silence between the two.

"So uh... 'snuggle'?" Questioned Reich, looking down at the smaller eagle.

"T-that just slipped out! I'm sorry..." Apologized America.

"Oh no it's fine, just... unexpected..." Reich reassured him, putting a gentle hand on his shoulder.

America softly purred. "Thanks..."

Reich had a small smile on his face, nodding with some understanding.

The silence between the two after that small exchange wasn't all that awkward anymore, it was more like... a quiet, peaceful moment. America looked over to Reich and fiddled with his sleeves for a moment, before slowly inching closer to Reich and grabbing his hand. Reich's reaction was slightly delayed by him staring off into space for a moment. He returned to reality when he felt a warm hand intertwined with his cold hand.

He looked towards America with a look of surprise on his face, they weren't- why would he-? He slightly shook his head to clear his mind of those thoughts.

"Reich, I have a question for you-" Said America, now sitting down on his bed, he pat a spot next to him for Reich. Reich sat down next to him and urged him to go on.

"Do you want to see Soviet again?" America finished, looking at Reich curiously.

"My brother? Well of course I do!" Exclaimed Reich, his wings stretching and flexing with slight excitement.

"That's what I thought! I... may be able to help you with that. And I'm sure I can help with you and Germany, as well." America smiled, his eyes, though covered by his sunglasses, had nothing but hope and kindness behind them. And a little bit of assholery, but hey, that's Ame for ya.

"I... I don't know how I can repay you, Meri..." Reich said, in disbelief and surprise.

America took his other hand and put it on top of Reichs free hand, rubbing it slightly.

"You don't need to repay me, Third. I'm doing this because I want to try and help you. And... keep you out of trouble, of course." America chuckled.

"If you say so..." Muttered Reich, having no plans of trying to pull his hand away from America's touch.

America winked at him and chuckled again, this was his chance to get to know the ex-dictator. He should take it, shouldn't he?

"A-anyway... I should be heading off to bed now, it's late. You should also sleep, Ami." Said Reich, slightly moving away from America to get up.

"Wait-!"

Reich looked back at him for a moment.

"Promise me you'll keep out of trouble when you're all done here?" Asked America.

"Promise."
