This story was requested by daffleye! Also, I'm so sorry it took so long, I completely forgot that you asked for this. The timeline is after everyone found out about America's eyes and kids in my main AU! Russia and America aren't together yet. Enjoy!

Third Person POV:

Russia and America are just hanging out at the park together. America is eating ice cream, Russia watching him with love, before he looks at his eyes, and two questions pop in his head. What happened to his eyes? Was he born with them, or did something happen?

He was curious, so he decided to ask America himself. "Hey, Ame?" Russia asks. America finishes his ice cream right when Russia asks. "Yes Rus?" He replies, curious of what his friend wanted to know, as he looks like he wants to ask a question.

"What happened to your eyes? Were you born with them, or did something happen?" He asks the question that was in his mind, which he hopes he'll get the answer. Once Russia asks that, America panicks, his mind rushing with memories of the day when it all happened.

Russia notices that America is uncomfortable, and regrets asking the question. "I'm sorry, you don't have to answer it, I was just-" "N-no, it's fine... M-maybe it will feel better if I get it off my chest..." America says. He sighs, before speaking, albeit hesitantly. "S-so, it starts like..."

~Flashback~
~Pearl Harbor, Dec 7th, 1941~

America is just talking outside of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base with one of the Chiefs, which Hawaii is currently looking around, clearly awed by the bases around her. As she's exploring, she suddenly hears explosions, and sees that a ship was blown up. She tries running to America, but she gets trapped under debris, screaming in pain.

Meanwhile, with America, he is still talking to the Cheif, until he hears the explosion. "W-what was that!? W-wait, was it at-" "DADDY!" Hawaii screams. America is horrified and worried, immediately running to the Naval Base.

When America gets there, he's horrified. Ships have huge holes in them, they're on fire, some are sinking, and there's debris everywhere, flaming and not, and most importantly, Hawaii, trapped underneath a giant piece of burning metal. She, herself, is on fire, and she's unconscious.

"O-Oh my god, Hawaii!" He yells, running over to her and trying to push the metal off of her. His hands start to burn from the fire, and the smoke starts to suffocate him and cloud his vision, but he doesn't care, only worried about his little flower.

He soon manages to push the metal off of her, picking her up and immediately puttng her in the water to extinguish her flames, before he runs as fast as he can, with blurry vision, to a nearby hospital. It takes him 20 minutes to finally reach a hospital, bursting through the doors, crying.

"Please help my daughter, she's badly burned and bleeding!" He yells. This gets the attention of the staff, as they grab her and take her away. They also get concerned from the sight of the distraught father, taking him to a hospital room, where the adrenaline wears off, and he passes out from the pain.

Soon, he wakes up, a bandage over his eyes. "W-what happened...? W-why is there a bandage over my eyes...? I-is my daughter okay!?" He asks, worried. The doctor sighs sadly. "If you had made it any later than you did, your daughter would've died, and you would've went permanently blind."
