Russia x reader
"Good morning sunflower," a tall Russian man smiled to the young petite girl behind the sunflower stall, she smiled happily and replied, "Morning Ivan! How are you this morning?"
"Same as every morning," he said sadly - these past few mornings he had been tired from working do much the night before, "I don't see why you don't just sleep in," she said, pulling a small stool from under the table and mentioning him to sit on it, "Because them I wouldn't get to see my sunflower," he smiled, trying to pull ____ toward her, "Ivan, we've went over this, I have a boyfriend," he drowned at the mention of her boyfriend, the bruises on her shoulders and arms showed that she was treated as she should be. "Still doesn't stop me from trying, da?" she laughed and shuck her head. It had been the same for the past 11 months, he would come to see her and they would talk about everything, he had told her about him being a country and other countries too. She in turn has told him about her abusive family and towards the recent future he told her about the abusive boyfriend, he tried to get to break up with him but she would always say sorry, kiss and hug her the day after, almost in tears. She had also told him something no one knew, that she partially lived in that stall, she couldn't afford the rent for her apartment, she could go back to her abusive parents and she had no idea why but she felt like she couldn't tell her boyfriend she was homeless. Russia tried to offer her one of his guest rooms but she kept saying she didn't want to become a burden.
One day Russia never showed up, _____ just figured he was working - which he was, but he was doing everything he could to get out of it - to see his sunflower. She stayed there all day, with business not going to well, she began to pack up and flowers and the tables onto a trailer that she had to drag behind some buildings for a safe place to sleep. She suddenly felt like she was being watched, she turned to around and stared into the darkness, "Hello? Is anybody there?" she questioned. No reply. She told herself it was just paranoia. she got back to making her bed when she heard a what sounded like a small dog. It was whimpering, she went to find to dog and suddenly someone pushed her against the wall, bruising her arm, she slide down the wall - the bricks leaving tiny scraps up and down we arms - and she looked up to who had pushed her. Two men loaned over her and smiled, "looks like we found a pretty little girl...
Eventually Ivan managed to get out into the town and saw ____ wasn't there, he was sad that she wasn't there but he began to walk home, he took a short cut down an old ally way behind a book store when he heard men laughing and a small girl whimpering. Curiosity got to him and he went I investigate the noise. There, he was _____, her face was covered in scratches and her whole body was bruised, the men loomed above her, laughing at her fragile state, "Looks like the weakling is going to cry." he mocked, tears where already brining on her eyes. She was about to cry out for help, But there was a sharp pain in her arm, one of the men had grabbed her arm and yanked her up, throwing her against the opposite wall. She yelped out in pain, she closed her eyes as tears rolled down her cheeks, waiting for the men I grab her again, but they never did. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the person she wanted to see the most. Ivan. The two men were lying unconscious at his feet and he was making his way towards her, unconsciously she crawled up more in fear. But Ivan gently placed his hand on her shoulder and whispers, "don't worry, da? It's me, Ivan" she looked up at him for a moment before lunging towards him and wrapping her arms around his neck, crying into his chest, he gentle stroked her hair and picked her up, taking her back to his house.

As he carried her back he was half asleep, clinging to his coat, he was whispering reassuring word to her and he unlocked the door and laid _____ on the sofa. He was soon greeted by Latvia, "G-Good e-evening M-Mr. R-Russia," he stuttered every word, Russia just looked at him and smiled, "Get me some blankets," Latvia quickly rushed off and returned seconds later with two thick blankets, he took them from him and quickly dismissed him, wrapping both blankets around _____, "Thank-you, Ivan." was all she managed to choke out, "shhhh, your safe with me, da?" he said, pulling her closer into a warm embrace, "Sleep now," as if on cue, she closed her eyes and drifted to sleep into his arms.
