No Matter How You Change -GerPol-

Chapter 8

Russia POV

After I unpacked all the presents everyone started to go and party. Expect one person. I was shocked to see America still sitting on the other side of the living room. "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"You seem cute when you're happy." This shocked me even more. I thought I seemed neutral as usual. My face turned red and I didn't know why. "What are you talking about?"

He just shrugged his arms in response. "Do you like the gifts?" I thought about what I should say. "Hell no. What do you think? That I'm a child?" He laughed a little. "I mean- You're definitely younger than me." He seemed like he made fun of me.

"Why don't you just go away and have fun with the others?" I asked. "And who are you going to spend your time with?" As if he cared. My face felt warmer this time.

"Dude I'm not flirting with you. You should cool down." What did he say? I stood up and went over to his side and sat next to him. "But you sound like you're doing it."

He was surprised with what I just did. I looked down into his eyes. "You may be older but you're short as hell." His smile dropped.

"What do you mean by I'm short? I'm literally the third tallest!" He stood up to show off his height. I also stood up and I was still looking down at him. "Shortie." I smirked.

Instead of getting mad he just stood still and looked at me. Then he also smirked. "You're even cuter when you smile."

If he doesn't call this flirting then I don't know what is wrong with him. Suddenly he got up on his toes and his face was centimeters or in his language inches away from me. I pushed him away.

"What is wrong with you?!" I tried to get away from him but he still followed me. I grabbed his shirt. I had enough. "What's your problem?" I asked staring at him.

"My problem is you." Me? Then why is he following me? "Then go away?" I said confused. "Nah. I like it when you get upset. This little piece of-

Something stopped my thoughts. I was still looking at him. I just thought about how close I pulled him up. And we were too close. Again.

I don't know why. I really don't know! You wonder what I did? I leaned forward and closed the space between us. Instead of him pulling himself away from me he also leaned more forward.

I let his shirt down again and I wasn't sure anymore what was going on. I was more confused about my actions than shocked. I tried to figure out what was going on until America started to pull himself away from me.

I grabbed his wrist and tried to make him stop from pulling away but then he managed it to get space between us. He grabbed some air and then he looked at me.

Luckily we were alone because everyone was on the dance floor. We just looked at each other without saying anything. "That was.." America didn't end the sentence. He looked away for a second. "Wait. I wasn't the one who did it! You were!"  He started getting louder.

I just stood there saying nothing. "I didn't know you liked me? So Poland was right." What has Poland to do with that? "What?" America looked at me. "Poland said that the only reason that you invited me was because you liked me!"

"What? No! I just invited you for some more presents but you bought me the entire store! I don't even know why." He then tilted his head slightly to the side. "So what was the thing a second ago?" 

I wasn't sure how to answer it. "Uh- I- I only did it so you could shut up and go away." Something in me started to feel heavy. It felt like it was my heartbeat that slowed down.

"Oh really? I thought that we could finally become friends and not fight the whole time but it seems like you're just making fun of me letting me believe that you somehow like me?!"

Friends? Did he want to become friends? I heard how people got quieter which meant that they could hear America talking loudly. Before he could open his mouth I covered it with my hand. He tried to move it away but my grip was stronger.

"Shut up. Someone will see it or hear it." He then grabbed my wrist and put it down.

"So even our rivalry doesn't mean anything to you?"I looked at him. "Why should someone care about his rival?" He looked at the side. He pushed me away and went to the others.

I was left alone. I felt alone because my friends couldn't come. China, India and North Korea. Why have I invited everyone else if no one really likes me anyway. Expect Hungary maybe but he is too concerned about his brother.

I felt jealous of Poland. I wish I also had a sibling that cared this much about me. I do have Belarus but she wanted to move out and since then we haven't had much time to talk or spend time with each other.

Kazakstan was in a dorm with a roommate so he was also busy with learning. And me and Ukraine just don't understand each other at all. She once was kind but I feel like our relationship is just toxic.

I shrugged off my feelings. It was my birthday today! I should have fun!  I took one of the cups that were standing on the table and drank all the Vodka in one sip.

"Who wants to challenge me?" I said putting the cup into the air. I tried to forget about what happened. I saw America talking with Japan. She then looked at me confused when she noticed that I was looking in their direction.

I just quickly looked in another direction. Did he tell her what happened? I'm probably just overthinking.

But then someone's hand went up.

Word Count: 1000

I bet you won't guess who will challenge Russia! But I'm for real. But maybe I'm just mistaken and it's obvious who it is going to be but oh well. Maybe you should try to guess it? yOu don't have to but it would be fun. Not? And I forgot to do the "Word Count" on the last one but I'm pretty sure it's around 2000 words but Idk. This doesn't include the thing here beneath the --- so if you're bored or something maybe you can see how many words it was because I'm too lazy.

-As always I love you guys! It may sound dry but it isn't! Just imagine me saying like: I looooooveeeee youuuuuuu! Muah (Like a kiss on the cheek)!
