Chapter 31- Company

Ugh, finally. They are free to go from this torturous place. They've spent so many hours in there from all the weekly meetings, that they have all grown sick of it. Thankfully Finland announced that they will, from now on, only have a meeting once a month and when really necessary.

Japan sat up and stretched her arms. Before she knew it Russia had gotten up too and went out of the building, almost like he wanted to run away. He had been quiet for the whole meeting, head shifted, so she wouldn't be surprised if he actually wanted to run away. She needed to apologize first though. She gave up stretching and chased after him with a fast pase. If she started running like a maniac she would draw eyes on her. He seemed to stop a few meters outside the parliament, away from everyone. He was approaching a bench but Japan reached him first. He groaned when he saw her. "Russia please listen to me!". He got up and started to walk away. "Please! I just want to say sorry!". Russia threw his hands in the air. "Then do so. Who cares?" "You should! I'm saying sorry to you." "But I don't. You shouldn't be sorry, you were just telling the truth." Japan placed her palm on his shoulder. "I didn't know you felt that way! If I did, I wouldn't have said anything". He pushed her hand off. "You didn't say anything, I just overheard your mumbling. And I know you didn't know 'I felt that way'. Nobody does." "Don't say that..". Japan was getting on his nerves. "Why not? Nobody here is friends with me or talks to me at all. Even you! I remember you telling me to go away multiple times before, just because I wanted to start a conversation with you." Japan opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She started shuttering to explain her actions but there was nothing she could do. She had no excuse. She gave up, sighed heavily. "Okay, you win. Do all of them treat you like that?". Russia nodded instead of talking. "そして (And)- uhm.. that's why you have been thinking like that?". He looked down without answering, but silence spoke more than words. And before he could look up again, he was embraced into a hug. Japan was comforting him. He blushed a little from the sudden touch. "I'm sorryyy!". He patted her back. "I-It's fine". "Really?". He pushed her back a little bit. "Yes. Just please leave me alone". She got the message and let go. She stood a foot away from him to give him space. She figured it would make him feel less uncomfortable. "Are you sure there isn't something I can do to for misunderstanding you?". Russia exhaled. "I mean, what could you to to 'pay me off'?". Japan smiled. "I have a party tomorrow. You can come if you want and you'll surely meet new people! Everybody is invited. I'll make sure to meet you to everyone so you get to talk!". He rubbed the back of his neck. "Do you really think it will work?" Japan shrugged. "Of course, why not?". "I don't know. .". She pet the top of his ushanka like he was a dog or something. "Don't worry! It'll go perfect!".

Russia unlocked the front door of his house. He entered and a warm breeze hit him. Outside was a little chilly, surprising for a Summer day. He closed the door and threw his phone and keys on the nearest table he could find. "Hey" he heard coming from Ukraine who was watching TV. "Hey Ukraine. Do you know if Belarus is here?". She pointed at the bathroom. "She's there. What do you want her for?". He took off his shoes and sat down next to her. "I didn't, I just wanted to know if she was here.". Ukraine hummed a response. "My turn to question about Belarus, do you know why she's so upset?". "What do you mean?". "Yeah she got a call from Switzerland a few hours ago and since then she was more nervous than 2j on the MADTV awards." "Than who on the what?". She eyerolled. "Nevermind. Pfft, I bet she's going to fuck with him and that's why she's so nervous!" she laughed. He gave her a judgemental look but deep down he was laughing, and she knew that. "Did you ask her why she was upset?" "Yeah, but she won't tell me". Russia shrugged. He felt tired. "Russia are you good?". He rubbed his eyes. "Yeah, just something happened today at the meeting". Ukraine looked troubled. "What? Oh don't tell me the bitch showed up". He gave her the look. "Stop calling him a bitch, and no, he didn't. Just.. ehm" he panicked. "Japan invited me to a party." She smiled and hit him friendly on the shoulder. "That's my boy, finally meeting people!". Russia chuckled. "It's not that I've not been trying.". Ukraine then went from her friendly and innocent smile to her demonic smirk. "There is something going on between you and her, isn't ther-" "God damn it Ukraine, no! I just met the girl!". She snickered. "Sure sure. Oh wait- nevermind, I forgot you're gay." "I'm not gay!". She tilted her head. "Oh so you are straight now?" He facepalmed. "You know what I am? Tired. I'm going upstairs to take a nap." He got up and hurried upstairs. Before he could enter his room he heard Ukraine again. "HAVE FUN DREAMING ABOUT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!"  "Oh my God, shut up!"
