Elevator Music (Rusame)

America's POV

I waited in the pharmacy for mifepristone* for Ukraine's pregnancy, luckily, she could get it since she was only 3 weeks in which saved me a lot of extra work. The things I do for my brother... It's ridiculous. I heard my name and went up to the desk, "thanks." I said bluntly and quickly left the small building. After being stuck in an elevator my claustrophobia became worse, just any small room now gave me the chills.

I arrived at our agreed location and waved at Canada who was holding Ukraine's hand, it was so cute! Although, I was jealous that my younger brother had a healthy relationship before I did. "The doctors said you should take this once a day for 2 weeks, then come back for a check-up." I handed the medication to her and noticed she looked dreary. Like she had just been crying, I gave her a hug and told her everything was going to be alright. She held me tightly and quietly sobbed into my Ferrari letterman.

"I'm scared, what if something terrible happens? What if I die!" She whimpered; my face unconsciously hardened. Sternly I said, "I won't let that happen." She looked up at me and smiled weakly.

I handed her back to Canada who also gave into his emotions and trapped me in a bear hug. "You're the best brother ever! I don't know what I'd do without you!" Canada sobbed. I laughed and patted him on the back. However, his words seemed to cling to me.

A white cloud formed just a little over my head as I thought about what I would say to Japan. I looked at my watch, she was 3 minutes late which was unusual for her. But she was probably panicking and rushing over this very minute. I took another hit from my cigarette before I saw Japan's running full speed towards me. I quickly stubbed it out before she could see it. She ended up collapsing right into me, but I managed to keep her upright.

"Oh America! I'm so sorry I'm late I was thinking of an outfit to wear and then I changed it because I thought it wasn't good enough then I was going to take my car but then I remembered I could only take the bus here and then my bus got delayed an-" She rambled, "woah slow down there! It's ok I don't need a big explanation, ha-ha." Still panting she looked me deep into my eyes and gave me a hug.

"What would I do without you, Ame." She said with her face buried in my thick coat, "Ame... Russia called me that... what's up with everyone saying they can't live without me?" I thought, my heart fluttered a little at the thought of Russia, but those words still clung to me. We broke our hug and she continued to look at me lovingly. It broke me that I could not return the feelings. "I know it might be a bit awkward, but I'd prefer if you didn't call me that..." I sheepishly rubbed the back of my neck; she looked a little confused. "Call you what? Ame?" I nodded, her wide eyes drooped a little, making it obvious she was upset by that. But she quickly perked up and we went over to the café Japan desperately wanted to take me to.

I hummed happily as I spooned another mouthful of cake. "It's good right!" Japan exclaimed, I agreed, and we continued to chat. "No one believes I have an evil twin brother and it really bugs me! HE EXISTS AND HAS MALICIOUS INTENT!" I exclaimed, Japan looked at me and awkwardly nodded her head. I sighed and slumped my shoulders.

"Uh, moving on I'll give you a little teaser of what SK and I are doing for the summer project! So, we're thinking of doing something with water and it's gonna be really..." I wasn't listening to what she was saying but I acted as if I was just to not be rude. The only thing I could think about was Russia, he plagued my mind. It was as if getting the stress of Ukraine off my shoulders amplified it, I thought about his hair, I longed to feel it in my hands again.

I wanted his hands locked with mine. I wanted to stare at his eyes for hours at a time. "Wow...I'm really gay." I blurted in a daze. Japan stopped in her tracks, her mouth gently hanging open. "Huh?" She stared at me blankly. I raised my head from resting on my knuckles, my eyes widened slightly as I just realised what I said. "What?" Was the only thing I could respond with, Japan still staring at me. "Well, um. That's news." She said, she seemed to be calculating something in her head. I sighed and stood up, "it's been nice but I gotta go." I put $50 on the table and left. I knew it was way more than what we both ordered combined, but I didn't really care.
