Bruised and in pain, I continue on to the kitchen.
Bumping into every wall and tripping over everything on the floor, including children, on my way there.
But as usual I made it to the kitchen in one piece!
Russia:"Oh you made it perfectly, especially for a beginner !"
Florida gave me a huge smile before taking a taste and going wide eyed.
Russia:"It's good huh?"
Florida got himself a bowl and a ladle.
Florida:"IT'S FANTASTIC!"
I smile and get quite 50 more bowls. I feel like eating today. But knowing America, he won't be eating.
I serve everyone and call them to the table.
The moment Alaska got to the table she dug in.
Alaska:"FINALLY! RUSSIAN FOOD! It tastes like home...!"
New Jersey:" Is it that good?"
Jersey takes a sip and smiles.
Everyone eventually takes a taste and immediately sees why Alaska's so happy.
America:"Goodness you're fast! Here let me check you out."
Russia:"I'm fine, see, I already fed everyone!"
America looked at everyone then at me.
Russia:"Do you want to?"
America shook his head.
I nodded and took my shot of soup, it's at this point I started to question why America has shot glasses in the first place.
Russia:"Uhm stilettos? Why do you even have shot glasses? Are you playing drinking games?"
I asked fairly boldly, drinking games are normal so I would assume yes but it's better to ask than assume
America:"WHOA WHOA WHOA! No! It's just Incase I- they're for Michigan."
I give him a "mhm, bullshit" face.
He gave a nervous smile.
Russia:"Want to play some time? I have a few ideas, although some require a closer relationship..."
I said quiet enough for the states to not hear but loud enough for America to hear, Although it seems he doesn't want to give a verbal response as his only response is to give a nervous smile and a shoulder shrug. It's clear he doesn't want the states to hear, so I'll respect his wants.
Russia:"If you're not ready then I can wait, I just wanna have some drunk stupid fun with my friend, it's a common thing with me!"
America makes a face that basically tells me to wait for the states to go to bed, so I nod as I go to clean the dishes of the states, America coming to help.
He's so nice! Although I'd prefer him to not help, he insists, so it becomes a passive aggressive argument.
Kentucky:"You guys are arguing like a married couple."
Russia:"Like you'd know what being married is like."
America:"We don't know what it's like either."
I just shushed him.
Kentucky just leaves giving us a "I'm not dealing with this" face.
After a bit... and more bickering over me doing this on my own and him helping me, the states finally leave the area and we can talk about what I mentioned earlier.
America:"I've never played a drinking game, I think I'd rather get to know you better before I start drinking in front of you."
Russia:"What do you drink anyways?"
America:"Strong as hell wine, basically only people related to my grandfather can handle it. My mom and grandpa call it "french blood" , my dad said they call it that from some past history with my mom."
Russia:"Interesting, I can't drink wine. Opaque alcohols give me hangovers. Funny isn't it? I can get so drunk I black out and sometimes want to go back to Europe from vodka, saki, moonshine, jin, any clear alcohol honestly and be perfectly fine once I'm sober, but the moment I take even a small sip of wine... hangover for like the rest of the next day."
America:"You know white wine is clear right?"
Russia:"Wait what-"
He snorted.
America:"You didn't know that?"
Russia:"Listen wine was banned from the household and clear alcohols were our drinking water, matter of fact, my mom would give me and siblings baths in vodka when we were babies."
America:"I don't think I've met your mom, I've met my other friends' parents but I've only seen your dad."
Russia:"Well unless you want to dig up a grave.... You'll never get the chance to see her."
He put his hand on my shoulder, except he had to get a stepping stool because even with the stilettos, he's still far shorter than me.
Russia:"It's fine, I'm fine... the grief had a big toll on me, a really big one..."
I sigh and give him a hug before going to leave.
Russia:"Asky! I'm about to leave!"
Then my wonderful daughter comes running in.
Face planting the moment she came to a holt.
She then got back up and ran to me, giving me a tight hug.
Alaska:"Visit soon ok papa!"
Russia;"Of course! How could I remeet my daughter and learn I have a son and a 2nd daughter and just never come back?"
We laughed a bit before giving her a kiss on the forehead and leaving.
Now it's time to go back to the hell hole...
I sniff myself.
Vodka, I usually smell of that and I also smell of... mint? And.... Something I can't put my finger on.
But it's a girly scent, great, Israel's gonna be pissed!
I groan and brace myself for her bullshit.
Walking back to college and going up to my dorm room I swallow and let out a sigh before unlocking me door-
Again? I leave and stay for dinner with ONE FRIEND, and she goes off to cheat with.... The fuck- is that Palestine?! She cheats on me with her best friend too.
I clear my throat.
Israel:"Fuck off, we're busy."
Palestine tried to say something snarky but Israel shushed her.
I just closed the door and slid down to the floor.
Russia:"GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! Can't she be faithful for once....?"
I can just feel the tears starting to drip down my face, soon they'll be pouring and I'll look like a fucking cry baby again!
Then I heard footsteps.
Cuba:"Russia? What happened?"
Russia:"Even with her best friend..."
He sighed and hugged me.
Hugging back I cried into his shoulder as he patted my back.
Cuba:"Why don't you just break up with her? You can love her all you want, but she's not healthy for you... all she's going to do is drive you crazy which will leave you to cheat with someone to be even."
Russia:"Cuba... you know I don't cheat, not on purpose...."
Cuba:"Yeah, I know, but stuff like this... it can drive people to desperate measures."
Russia:"And who would I cheat with? You? Kathy? Vanuatu- no absolutely not her- , Canada?- yeah no Ukraine would kill me."
Cuba:"Russia, I love you, but not in that way. That was a one time thing and we were drunk."
Russia:"And yet you still topped me, that morning was uhm... something. Pfft, the way we reacted was something I'll never forget!"
Cuba:"I had to sneak out your window in a window curtain because I couldn't find my clothes!"
Me and Cuba have a good laugh about that one time we slept together, I wasn't dating anyone at the time so I wasn't cheating, but that was one strange morning.
Russia:"I still can't believe you had to run to Sam's house and explain the whole situation, he told the entire band!"
It's at this point I've stopped crying.
I sniff and let go of him.
Cuba:"Feeling better?"
Russia:"Much better, thanks Cuba."
Cuba:"Listen I'm like your left foot, without me, you wouldn't be standing. I'm hot cocoa on a cold winter night, I'm the key to your locked closet. You know, to get you out of there?"
Russia:"I'll have you know I'm quite comfortable in this closet!"
Cuba:"Seriously Russia, you can't keep saying you were just experimenting and say you're straight. I know you like I know my own mind ok? If you're not ready, that's fine. But when you are, I'm right here to help ok?"
Russia:"I know... you've always been there for me."
Instead of walking home to be with his boyfriend Sam, girlfriend Violet, and Abby, he calls them and says I need emotional help and that me and him are going to get drunk.
Cuba:"Alright! Sam said he's bringing the band!"
Russia:"Hell yeah! I haven't seen them in so long!"
Cuba:"Well come on!"
I get up and run with him to the bar, although I'm a little too fast for him.
I've known Cuba since I was like 2, I'm able to tell him anything and he would listen and understand.
He also wouldn't care if I killed someone.
I am not kidding.
I got into a nasty fight once and I actually thought the person died and just said we should find a place to hide the body. He is one of the best people I know.
Once we make it to the bar the band just smothers me in a group hug, they did this all the time when I was upset.
Jill:"Oh my! Have you gotten taller?"
Russia:"Only by half an inch.'
Lily still has her damn trombone.
With that in mind, she makes a shocked sound effect.
Daniel:"How have you been? Me and Nathaniel..."
Sally:" THEY'RE ACTUALLY DATING NOW!"
Singapore:"Ok who gave her molly?"
Derick:"Don't look at me?! I don't touch that stuff!"
Abby:"I stick to powdered sugar."
Russia:"Can we just get drunk off our asses already?"
Sam:"Yeah, hopefully giving Lily some alcohol won't fuck her up more."
Russia:"How many edibles did she have this time?"
Jill:"Four."
I groan, welp looks like we're going to be dealing with a drunk and high Lily, along with knowing Sam and Cuba are bound to get it down and dirty in the bathroom. Abby can't join because the girl has a baby in her tummy.
This is going to be fantastic!
Harold:" Wait, isn't Abby pregnant?"
Paula:"You now just remember that?"
Sam:"Yeah, baby, maybe you shouldn't drink. Everything you get will be virgin ok?"
Abby:"Fine...."
Sam kissed Abby on the cheek which made Cuba make a "Bitch what about me?" Face, Cuba then also gets a kiss.
Russia:"Get a room."
I said jokingly.
It's so nice to be with the band again.
Then I ordered Aunt Roberta. That shit is 100% alcohol.
Jill:"So I'm taking him to his dorm?"
Everyone agreed.
Oooh boy.

AN: I forgot to make one, so this now the note :)
