one mistake, one soldier, one love

Chapter 4

_________America's POV_______

*CRACK*
There was no time to react, Russia was falling, and I followed down after him with no plan. I grabbed Russia's wrist, and begged my hand to grab something, anything. I waited as smaller branches and leaves smacked my face, and then I was jerked up. I looked down to see that Russia passed out, and to see the ground so close to his feet. I softly drop him to the ground, then I swung off landing beside him. I listen to his breathing and I hear that it's regular. I sigh with relief and begin to drag him back to our "base". "Damn your heavy." I grunted, as I began my slow process.

*Time skip*

I waited for almost half an hour until he woke up. Oh how the tables have turned. He was on my lap when he woke up and it was kinda cute when he was flustered.

"W-what happened?" He asked me.

"Well, the branch that you were on broke because of the weight and you fell. Out of instinct I jumped down to grab you and, here we are." I explained.

"Oh thanks for savi-"
" IM SORRY!"

"What for?" He tilted his head.

"For making you fall." I said awkwardly. "I startled you, making you shift your weight making you fall."

"Oh, it's okay, im just impressed."

"What, why!?"

He chuckled " Because you're so much better than my troops, they didn't even know how to check for weapons."

I laughed, "Are you serious?!, That's like, the most basic thing to do!!"

"I know right!......... So," he said flipping around to a sitting position.   "Tell me about yourself.....I kinda found some me knife cuts on your legs yesterday, and I want to know more about you."

My smile faded "Oh, those. Well you see I was abused......ummm. My dad, er-Great Britain forced me to live under his rein. He hurt my brothers and my mom, but mostly me, because I wasn't supposed to be here. He would hurt us if we did something wrong, and umm." Tears started to well in my eyes. "I ummm, I-I." Tears started to come down my face as memories of the pain came back to me. "I'm s-sorry." I said wiping away my tears.

I felt a pair of arms wrap around me, then a soft voice said to me "I'm sorry, I didn't know." I hugged back.

"It's okay, you didn't know." I said. I laughed it off, "You smell like pine....I like it." I said blushing.

I looked up at him, and he smiled, and he kissed my forehead. He. Kissed. My. Forehead. I started to panic. "Uhhhhhh-aaahhhhhh..........." I stuttered. I started to blush. "D-did you k-kiss m-me!!??" I swear I started to have a gay panic.

"W-WHAT HAPPENED?!, D-DID I DO SOMETHING WRONG!!??!?"

"N-no I, I was j-just caught o-off g-guard!" I stuttered

"I-I'M SORRY, I THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER AND I THOUGHT THAT YOU NEEDED IT!"  He sputtered out.

I giggled at how flustered he was. "Are you hungry?" I asked him.

"Now that you mentioned it, I kinda am." He replied. I got up to my suitcase and pulled out a fire starting kit, small pots and pans, spices and a hunting knife. I turned around to a shocked Russia.

"How do you have that much stuff in there!!?!?"

"Magic, my guy, magic."

He looked at me confused, but then froze. I froze too. We could both feel a presence near us. I slowly crouched down to grab the knifes from earlier, and get into a fighting position.

___________Russia's POV__________
I freeze, and so did America. I saw him grab his knife and I grabbed mine as well, and slowly get up. I heard a soft growl from the bushes, and waited. A dog appeared from the bushes bearing it's teeth at us. It was a K-9 unit. Wait, that was my K-9 unit. "AKDOV!, HEEL!" I commanded. She did as she was told. I look over at America, he is as shocked as I am. We have been found. "Akdov, lead." I commanded. She started to lead the way that she came, as America grabbed his duffle bag.

"You know, Akdov, spells Vodka backwards, right?" He said giving me a funny look.

"Yeah, I know, but that's the only name that she responds to." I laughed.

She lead the way to a van with my dad in the car.

"Hey son!" He waved.

"Hi Dad." I replied

He pointed over to America, "and I can assume that you are the top notch America I read about." He said sticking out his hand for him to shake. America took his hand and smiled.

"Nice to meet you sir, I am indeed America, and you are?" He asked.

"I'm USSR." My dad replied.

They both smiled and looked over at Akdov and I. Dad gestured towards the car, telling us to get in. I took the backseat with Akdov, and America, and waited for the van to reach the base.
