Job Taken Care Of

I think from now one I only write in Third Person POV it just seems easier then always switching POVs and you still see the feelings of every person

The car rumbled along the familiar road, enveloped in a comforting silence that spoke volumes about the shared satisfaction between Russia and Y/N. It was a silence born not of awkwardness but of contentment. Y/N recognized that Russia needed this time to recover after the intense battle with the rune bear, and he was more than willing to grant him that reprieve. As the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a golden hue across the landscape, it signaled the approach of night. However, the tranquil beauty of the setting sun was soon disrupted by gathering clouds that threatened to obscure its warm glow. The first few snowflakes began to drift gently from the heavens, heralding the arrival of a snowfall that would soon intensify. At first, Russia regarded the falling snow as a minor inconvenience, nothing more than a passing weather pattern. Yet, within moments, those delicate flakes multiplied, descending in thick curtains that rapidly reduced visibility. The once-familiar road ahead became a blurred, indistinct path, and driving safely in such conditions became impossible. With the sun now entirely vanished beyond the horizon and the snowfall showing no signs of relenting, Russia reluctantly made the decision to pull the car over to the side of the road. The worsening weather had forced their hand, and it was no longer safe to continue their journey.

"How can there be another snowstorm?" Russia grumbled in annoyance, his frustration clear in his tone. After a moment, he sighed, his voice taking on a more resigned note. "I guess we have to wait here until it clears out." The prospect of another delay weighed heavily on Russia's mind, knowing it would likely result in a backlog of work awaiting him upon his return. Such situations weren't unfamiliar to him, but that didn't make them any less aggravating. Observing the time and feeling the exhaustion from the recent battle catching up with him, Y/N turned his gaze towards Russia, offering a suggestion. "How about you go to sleep?" Russia, ever practical, pointed out the limited space in the car's backseat. "And what about you? We only have enough space for one person on the back bench." Y/N, a touch embarrassed, looked at the cramped rear of the car and then back at Russia. "There would be enough space for two people if you're alright with getting closer to one another," he suggested hesitantly, his own face showing a hint of color. Russia, struggling with his own emotions, turned away to conceal his blush. "On the other hand, I'm not really tired. Such fights always keep my blood pumping for a while, so I will be awake for a while," Y/N amended, offering an excuse to alleviate any discomfort Russia might be feeling. Despite his words, Y/N didn't require much sleep in general. Russia contemplated trying to persuade Y/N to rest, but his weariness prevailed, and he simply acquiesced, acknowledging that he would take a nap.

As Russia lays asleep on the backbench, Y/N found himself alone with his thoughts. He marveled at how dramatically his life had changed. While he expected his life to transform upon becoming the Elden Lord, he hadn't anticipated a change as profound as this - a new world to explore, and the pleasure of meeting new people he had grown quite fond of. Lost in contemplation, Y/N was suddenly jolted from his reverie by an unusual sensation coursing through his body. It was an inexplicable surge of awareness, a feeling that something was out there, though he couldn't quite explain how he knew it. Making certain that Russia remained asleep, Y/N cautiously stepped out of the car and into the deep snow. Luckily, his past experiences in the Consecrated Snowfields of the Lands Between had equipped him with the skills to navigate under such circumstances. Each heavy footstep sank into the snow as he moved forward, but before he could react, a sudden screech cut through the stillness, followed by a line of blue-white fire streaking towards him. Caught off guard, Y/N couldn't evade the surprise attack and was violently flung backward.
