Lovers

Chapter 6

      I look at Russia Empire with a calm look. 'Huh I would've thought I wouldn't be noticed till later.' I thought, cocking my head to the side slightly.
"This is (Y/N), she is the owner of this house." Soviet told him, his grip tightening as he spoke. I lit out a small yelp as my torso moved slightly. I heard Soviet mumble a small apology before turning his full attention back towards his father.
       "Ah I see. It is a pleasure to meet you miss (Y/N)." Russian Empire said, taking my hand and kissing the back of it gently.
       I blush lightly at the action, wasn't exactly used to someone kissing the back of my hand. South and North walked up to me, South asking, "What would you like to eat? You must be starving."
      I turned my attention to South and North, "O-oh you don't have to fix anything for me. I can fix myself something to eat."
      "Nonsense, in your condition you can't even stand. We will fix you something, just name it." North said with a warm smile.
      I heard a gasp of surprise, I look behind North to see China, Japan, and Spain with their jaws dropping to the floor. I gave them a confused look, before turning my attention back to North. "Ok umm... how about ramen?" I asked, I hated soup and I don't like most foods that are mushy or anything along those lines. Besides, I have loads of ramen because by brother had an addiction with it.
      "As you wish." They both said at the same time, then walked side by side into the kitchen.
"What just happened??" I heard Japan question to himself, watching the two twin brothers walk into the kitchen side by side.
"Do you mind laying on the couch?" I heard Soviet ask, catching my attention.
I smiled up at him, "I don't mind at all." Soviet walked over to the couch, Reich moved away from, guessing, his father. Reich adjusted the pillows saying, "Put her down gently. Remember what Grey said."
"I know, you don't have to remind me." Soviet responded with an annoyed tone. He laid me down gently on the couch, Reich adjusting the pillows a little before backing away.
"Ok so do you wanna play Mario Kart or Super Mario Brothers??" Philip asked, pulling out a couple of games from underneath the TV stand.
I couldn't help but notice the confusion on the new countries faces, looking around like they were in an alien world... well I guess that is technically true.
I let out a small sigh, might as well address the elephant in the room. "Is everything alright?" I ask, looking over at, what looks like, Canada. He seemed to be the, sort of, leader to me. Probably the one that convinced these other countries to come along to find the countries that were here before.
"Y-Yeah just... we didn't expect ... well this." Canada said, gesturing to the surrounding area.
"What do you mean?" America asked, leaning on the couch slightly.
"Like you getting along with Russia, Reich, and Soviet! We thought one of you would be dead by now!" Canada exclaimed.
"Not to mention how South and North get along as if the Cold War didn't separate them both." Japan added, adjusting his glasses.
"Well they all live under the same roof." I begin with a shrug.
"Not to mention it was against the rules." Reich finished, rolling up his sweater sleeves.
"Since when did you ever stick to the rules?" Australia questioned, glaring at Reich. Reich returned the glare answering, "Since I came to a whole new universe. You know the one we got blasted in."
"Alright you two that's enough." Soviet stepped in, blocking their view of one another. Reich backed down, I guess Soviet was sort of a leader figure for them... after all this time.
Australia however was a different story, he glared down Soviet, "You're not my boss."
Britain stepped in, placing a hand on Australia's shoulder, "That's enough." Australia visibly relaxed, backing away back towards Canada's side.
Huh, Australia sort of reminds me of America. But sadly, America wins the most hottest head challenge.
I felt something slither past my head, moving my hair slightly as he reached my shoulder. I smiled softly, reaching my hand towards the source, my hand gliding across smooth scales as it moved onto my shoulder than onto my chest.
"Hello Echo." I say, as a small little snake head popped into view. She was looking straight at me, he tongue flicking in and out.
"Aww." I heard Australia say, walking up to the side of the couch. "That's her name! That fits her so well!"
I giggle, this must be the brother America was talking about, I figured. "What breed is she?" He asks, stroking Echo.
"A Rosy Boa." I answered.
"Cool! I have a boa myself!" Australia said.
"Um... Aussi. You didn't bring any of your... pets did you?" Canada asked, sounding a little worried.
"Of course not... not all of them anyway." Australia mumbled the last part.
America tensed, "Please tell me you didn't bring Debbie."
"Of course I brought her. She was my first ever pet, I can never leave her behind." Australia said with a smile, putting his hand in his pocket. He then took it out, his hand balled into a loose fist. He then held out his hand, opening his palm revealing a black and orange tarantula. I gazed at it in awe.
America began to back away, looking nervous. "Oh c'mon Ame, she doesn't bite." Australia said, taking a step towards him. "She missed you too you know." He said.
"I don't care, just don't put her on me again!" America said, taking a couple of steps back.
"Can I hold her?" I asked, not taking my eyes off of the tarantula.
The new countries, besides Australia, looked at me as if I was crazy. While the countries that have lived with me didn't look surprised at all. Probably because of something I did a month ago.
************
I was sitting on the couch, watching TV with Poland and France. Echo curled into a ball on my lap.
I jumped as I heard a loud scream echo throughout the house. Me, Poland, and France looked at one another in alarm. I took Echo off my lap gently, then raced upstairs towards America's room.
I burst through the door asking, "What happened?" America was on the bed, looking down at a spot on the floor in fear.
"T-there's a spider!?" America stuttered out, pointing at the stop he was staring at. Sure enough there was a spider, but it was as a small little thing.
"Ok? What about it?" I ask, cocking my head slightly to the side.
"Kill it!" America shouted. I feel someone push past me, heading into the room. It was Russia with a shoe in his hand.
"Why couldn't you kill it yourself?" Russia asked calmly, raising the shoe.
"I don't have anything to kill it with that's why!" America snapped.
"You don't have to kill it." I said, stepping into the room myself. "We could just put it outside."
"Are you crazy!?" America questioned.
I shrugged, crouching down in front of it, "It's not like it's going to hurt me." I placed an open palmed hand in front of the spider, then used my other hand to guide it onto my open palmed hand. It crawled onto my hand, I then stood up, ignoring the strange looks coming from the countries as I walked back down stairs and towards the patio door. I opened it, placing my hand on the ground, allowing the spider to crawl off safely before scurrying into one of the bushes.
I dusted my hands off, going back inside saying, "Mission accomplished."
***************
I kept my hand outstretched as Australia placed his hand right next to mine, allowing Debbie to crawl onto my opened palm. Once she was at the center of my palm, Australia pulled away his hand.
      "I don't believe we had a proper introduction. My name is Australia, but you can just call me Aussi." He said, pointing to himself with his thumb.
      "Nice to meet you Aussi, I'm (Y/N)." I said with a soft smile, still not taking my eyes of Debbie as she begins to crawl up my arm. Echo begin to watch as well, looking at Debbie curiously.
        "Oh right! You need to be fed!" I exclaimed.
      "Don't worry about it. I fed her not to long ago." America said, slowly walking back to the spot he was standing at before.
      "Huh! America fed a snake!? I don't believe it!" Tears begin to form in Australia's eyes. "My older brother has finally grown up."
      "I was never afraid of snakes." America defended, stroking Echo who let out a small hiss of satisfaction.
      "That's a lie. You are terrified of Joey." Australia said with a sly grin.
      "That's because Joey is a Diamond back Rattle snake!!" America retorted.
      "Uh huh sure." Aussi said sarcastically. He took Debbi off my arm and placed her in his pocket. Aussi then turned his attention on me, "Have you met our other brother?"
      'He must be talking about Canada.' I thought, shaking my head. Aussi gestured for Canada to approach.
      "You're not going to put Debbi on me are you?" Canada asked nervously.
      "Of course not, you have my word." Aussi said, stepping away from the couch.
       Canada approaches me cautiously eyeing Echo. "Hi, my name is Canada. It nice to meet you (Y/N)."
      He's definitely more calm than the other two. "It's nice to meet you too Canada." I responded.
      "Oh this is Japan and China. They are good friends with North and South." Canada introduced, gesturing to the two countries.
      Japan and China bowed, "It's nice to meet you (Y/N)."
      I nodded, "It is nice to meet you as well."
      "Oh (Y/N)! This is Spain, he's an old friend!" Phil said, dragging Spain forward.
      Spain took my hand and kissed the back of it, "Wonderful to meet you (Y/N)."
       "A pleasure as well." I responded, blushing slightly. It's the second time that happened today.
      "(Y/N), I like to introduce my father. Second Reich." Reich said, gesturing to his father. He walked forward kissing the back of my hand as well.
       "You can just call me Reichtangle." He said in a thick German, thicker than Reich's.
      "It's nice to meet you." I responded.
      I then heard a loud noise come from the kitchen, causing me to shoot up, hurting my gut in the process. At first I thought it was a gunshot, but it was only South dropping a pan as I heard north scolding him.
      "(Y/N) are you alright?" I heard America ask, placing his hand on my cheek. I flinched at the contact.
      "Y-Yeah I'm fine." I answered. Looking away from him.
      I don't know why I reacted that way, but my heart is beating a mile per minute.
      "So what happened to your side?" I heard Belarus ask softly, gesturing to a now red spot in my shirt.
      I let out a groan. "I'll got get the bandages." I heard Phil say, running out the front door. I let out a sigh, "I happened a few days ago..."
??? POV
      I work on the computer, typing up a code for my new app that I have been working on for ages. I jumped as my phone begin buzzing in my pocket.
      I pulled it out quickly saying, "Hello?"
      "Yes... I believe it's time we move to plan B. Don't fail me unless you want to end up like Ryder."
      "Yes ma'am!" I responded, then the other line hung up.
      I smirked, 'Finally! I've been waiting for a moment like this!'  I stood up, pushing my chair away and walked out of my office. I pulled over my lab coat and walked through the door labeled "Authorized Personal Only".
      The entire room went quiet, everyone stopped working as all heads turned to me. "Ladies and Gentleman. Plan B is taking action."
