        : ̗̀➛  Russia and Y/N had been friends since their school days, their bond forged through a shared sense of adventure and a mutual love for late-night conversations that often wandered into the depths of the night. Their friendship was strong, based on trust, understanding, and a comfortable familiarity that made each other's presence feel like home.

As they grew older, their lives took different paths. Russia moved to a bustling city, driven by her career ambitions, while Y/N remained in their hometown, content with the quieter pace of life and the close-knit community. Despite the distance, they stayed in touch, often sharing long phone calls and occasional visits when Russia came back to town.

One winter, Russia returned home for the holidays, the two friends were excited to catch up and spend time together. They planned a day of ice skating on the frozen lake near their childhood playground, followed by a cozy evening by the fire, reminiscing about their school days.

As they glided on the ice, Russia laughed, spinning around and enjoying the cold breeze against her face. Y/N, however, seemed more reserved, glancing away every time Russia caught their eye. The mood was cheerful, but there was an underlying tension neither could ignore.

As the evening approached, they went back to Y/N's house, settling by the fire with hot cocoa in hand. Russia couldn't shake the feeling that something was bothering Y/N.

"Are you okay?" Russia asked, her voice gentle, trying to bridge the gap she sensed.

Y/N hesitated, staring into the fire. "I've been thinking a lot lately," Y/N began, their tone somber. "About us, our friendship. Things have changed so much since we were kids, and sometimes it feels like we're drifting apart."

Russia's heart sank. "You feel that way?" she asked, a touch of sadness in her voice.

Y/N nodded, biting their lip. "I don't want to lose you, Alice. You're one of my closest friends, but with you living so far away, I can't help but feel like we're growing distant."

Russia reached out and took Y/N's hand, her touch reassuring. "I understand, Y/N. It's been hard being away from home, but our friendship means so much to me. I'll always make an effort to stay close, no matter where I am."

Y/N looked at Russia, their eyes filled with gratitude. "I appreciate that, Russia. I just needed to tell you how I've been feeling. I didn't want to hold it in any longer."

Russia nodded, feeling a weight lift from her shoulders. "Thank you for being honest with me. I want you to know that I'll always be here for you, no matter the distance. Let's make a promise to stay connected, even if it's just through calls and messages. You're important to me, Y/N."

Y/N smiled, the warmth of their friendship filling the room. "Promise," they said, squeezing Alice's hand.

The rest of the evening was filled with laughter and shared memories, the earlier tension dissolving as they reaffirmed their commitment to their friendship. As the night grew late, they both knew that their bond would withstand the test of time and distance.

When Russia left town to return to the city, she and Y/N promised to make time for each other, planning regular calls and visits. Their friendship, strengthened by their honest conversation, continued to thrive, growing even stronger with each passing day.

Years passed, and Russia and Y/N continued to nurture their friendship despite the challenges of busy schedules and the physical distance that often separated them. Their bond remained strong, and they both made it a priority to check in on each other regularly, whether through phone calls, texts, or video chats.

Russia's career flourished in the city, and Y/N found fulfillment in their work and community involvement back home. Despite their separate paths, they found solace in knowing they always had each other to turn to during life's ups and downs.

One summer, Russia took a long break from work and decided to spend an extended vacation back in her hometown. She and Y/N were overjoyed to have the opportunity to spend more time together. They planned outings, like hiking in the woods, visiting their favorite cafes, and going on road trips to nearby towns.

One sunny afternoon, as they sat on a hill overlooking the town, Y/N turned to Russia with a soft smile. "I'm so glad you're back, Russia. It feels like old times."

Alice grinned, leaning back on her hands and taking in the view. "Me too. I missed this place—and you, of course."

Y/N chuckled. "I've missed you too. It's nice to have someone who knows me so well."

Their conversation continued, easy and light, as they talked about their dreams and plans for the future. They laughed over old inside jokes and shared memories of their school days, feeling the warmth of their friendship.

As the sun began to set, they walked back to Y/N's house, feeling a sense of contentment. Russia realized that their friendship had become even stronger over the years, despite the challenges they had faced. Y/N had been a constant presence in her life, and she couldn't imagine what she would do without their support.

That night, as they sat by the fire in Y/N's living room, Russia looked over at Y/N. "I'm so grateful for our friendship," she said sincerely.

Y/N nodded, a soft smile on their face. "Me too. You're like family to me, Russia."

Russia's heart warmed at the words. "We'll always have each other's backs, no matter what."

"Absolutely," Y/N agreed. "That's a promise we both can keep."

As the fire crackled and the night grew darker, they continued talking late into the night, sharing their hopes and dreams for the future. Their bond had faced challenges, but it remained unbreakable, a testament to the strength of their platonic friendship.

In the years that followed, Russia and Y/N continued to be there for each other, celebrating life's victories and supporting each other through its trials. Their friendship remained a constant source of comfort and joy, a cherished connection that would endure for a lifetime.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 ╰┈➤ 【Ｔｈｅ　Ｅｎｄ】
