This Is Just Between Us

The start of a "platonic" friendship

Alaska pov

He.... He's here...
Alaska:"Papa?...."
Russia:"Yeah, it's me..."
I run over to him and hug him tight as I cry.
Alaska:"Papa you came back!"
I felt myself being picked up.
Russia:"Of course I did, I promised you didn't I?"
He held me tight, also slightly crying.
Russia:"You have no clue how much I've missed you.... I'm so sorry I didn't come back sooner."
Alaska:"I wouldn't have cared if you came back on my wedding day, you kept your promise!"
That's when I noticed that Papa brought his animals!
I smile.
Alaska:" Papa you brought them!"
Russia:" I knew you'd want to see them again."
He put me down and gave me all the animals along with a box.
America:"Go ahead, open it...!"
So I did....
Alaska:"Are these...."
Russia:"We got them back, just for you!"
I sniff, I haven't cried in ages!
I can feel bun bun and vanilla mousse trying to comfort me.
Alaska:"Guy I'm fine! I'm just so happy!"
I said putting on the ushanka I wore when I was younger, it's still too big for me, papa said that it was made like this so I'd be able to have it till the day I was 20!
I grab my flask and run off to get it filled! The animals follow after me happily.

America pov

Once I'm sure Alaska is gone I look at Russia.
America:"You promised her that you'd come back?"
Russia nodded as he smiled.
Russia:"Trust me, no matter what, I would've kept my promise. Even if that meant coming back on her wedding day, a Soviet never breaks their promise..."
It's at this point I noticed that Alaska is back, but she brought Wyoming and Hawaii with her.
Russia:"Oh who are these two? They're so cute!"
Alaska:"That's my brother Wyoming and my sister Hawaii!"
Russia:"So you're saying I have a son and a 2nd daughter?"
Alaska laughed a bit as she was put on his shoulders before he picked Wyoming and Hawaii up.
Wyoming was actually laughing, I've never heard him laugh, not to mention how happy Alaska is! Hawaii is almost always happy, but she looks happier than usual.
Alaska:" I told you guys that my papa was amazing!"
Wyoming nodded, smiling a large smile.
Hawaii:"Mr. Alaska's papa, can I mess with your hair?"
Russia:"1. Call me Russia, or papa if you want! and 2. Sure, why not?"
Russia then put Wyoming, Hawaii, and Alaska down.
He sat on the floor and Hawaii ran off to get some flowers to put in his hair.
Hawaii:"Hold on Russia! I'm getting flowers!"
Russia:"~I'm going to be so pretty~"
Russia said in a playful and childish voice.
Wyoming walked off and came back with a book, he then sat in front of Russia as Alaska sits in the gap that's been made from Russia sitting criss cross.
Wyoming:"Can I read you a book?"
Russia:"Have at it kid!"
Wyoming:"Really? Oh fank you fank you! Alazka iz fe(fu) only one who liztenz to me read!"
Russia:"Well now it's Alaska and I that will listen to you read."
Wyoming smiled brightly and began to read as Hawaii came running back into the room with flowers but also New Hampshire.
New Hampshire:" Great grandma! You weren't kidding Hawaii!"
Hawaii:"I know! It's so long!"
I see New Hampshire get on his knees and start messing with Russia's hair, Hawaii giving him a flower every once and awhile as she makes a flower crown.
Then Illinois came running in.
Illinois:"Who left all these beautiful white animals roaming around?"
Alaska:" I did! Hehehe.... Sorry! They belong to my papa!"
Wyoming:" Yeah papa came in wif fem and Alazka ran off wif fem."
Illinois:"They're so well cared for! You're a good pet owner whatever your name is-"
Russia:"I'm Russia, but you can call me papa like how Alaska and Wyoming do!"
Hawaii:"He's really nice!"
And like that, Illinois came over with the animals and sat by him.
I just kinda watch... maybe he's not so bad, he's actually kinda sweet.
America:"You seem to be pretty popular with children huh?"
Russia:"Guess so!"
That's when we hear the clicks of high heels.
NYS:"Who's this?"
Russia:"I'm Russia, but you can call me papa, although you seem older and a lot more mature so I'm assuming you're gonna call me Russia?"
NYS:"Sure am! My name is New York state."
New Hampshire:"Shit! Sorry, forgot to introduce myself! I'm New Hampshire, me and NYS or New York as we call her are triplets, our other brother is uhm.... I don't know-"
NYS:"He's out gardening, his name is New Jersey."
Russia:"Do people call you 3 the 'new triplets'?"
Illinois snorted.
Illinois:"We do actually! Oh I'm Illinois by the way!"
Russia:"Nice to meet ya!"
Soon I see Kansas and Arkansas.
Kansas:"Uhm.... Hi?"
Russia looked at Kansas and made a gentle smile.
Russia:"Russia, although you can call me papa! You are?"
Arkansas:"I'm Arkansas and this is my twin brother Kansas, careful, he's got a heart problem."
Russia:"That explains the... portable heart monitor?"
Kansas:"Yeah, that's what this is! I also have to check my sodium level, my sugar level, and my heart rate. We're not entirely sure what's wrong with my heart, but what we do know is that I can't watch,use, or do anything that'll cause my heart rate to skyrocket or cause my blood to pump faster than normal."
Russia:"Note to self, be careful with what to cook when it comes to you."
Arkansas:"You just met us and you're already focused on what you can and can't cook?"
Russia:"But of course! If I noticed something seems off about someone I always check on what's going on with their health so I know what I can feed them for their own safety!"
Kansas:"Thanks papa..."
Then comes in Montana, he looks confused and signs that he's confused.
Russia:" Oh He's deaf-"
I nod.
ASL Russia:" Hey! I'm Russia! But you can call me papa if you want!"
He knows sign language?!
ASL Montana:" You speak ASL?! Awesome! I'm Montana, it's nice to meet you Russia!"
Montana then went over to sit by Russia.
One by one, Russia gets smothered in children, other than Georgia.
Russia:"A dream come true!"
Georgia:"I don' know 'bout you."
Louisiana:"BUT I'M FEELING 22!"
Russia:"You got a nice voice Ana! Wanna come and play with me and my band some time?"
Louisiana:"1. Ana? 2. Hella yeah!"
Russia smiled and ruffled her hair.
New Hampshire:" OH COME ON! I JUST DID HER HAIR!"
Russia:"Oops-"
The other states laughed as Russia gave an apologetic smile to New Hampshire.
I smile as my heart pounds slightly-
Huh-
Eh, it's probably nothing!
I go to the kitchen and think of who's next...
Oh! Slovakia- wait.... She's a minor.
I can't kill a minor!
Ugh....hm... I can get her arrested though!
Hehehehe...... looks like I'm putting a minor in jouvie!
Two legal situations at once, not ideal but I can get it to work!
Good luck proving your innocence when you're put on trial.
That's when I see a face peeking up from the floor, not a child's face, an adult's face.
Russia:"Whatcha making? Something with chocolate?"
America:"1. Yes and 2. Why are you on the floor like this?"
Russia:"Because it's fun-"
I sigh and roll my eyes as I look at his gentle and childish smile, his smile is making me smile-
Russia:"I got you to smile! Does this mean we're friends? Are we friends?!"
America:"Yes, yes we are, now calm down and get off the floor."
Instead of getting off the floor and just clung onto one of my legs, I then see Alaska come over and do the same thing.
America:"Like father like daughter huh?"
Alaska+Russia:"Yup!"
I just continue baking, I should get used to this as it both me and the states like having him around...
I especially... wait what?

AN: Hush hush! Blush blush! America is starting to form a crush!
