one mistake, one soldier, one love

Chapter 5

_____________America POV_______
I woke up as the car stopped. I must have fallen asleep. I looked around, and realized that I fell asleep on Russia. O. My. Gosh. He was watching me.

"About time you woke up." He retorted.

"w-well why didn't you wake me up?!!" I asked flustered.

"I tried, but you wouldn't wake up."

"B-but I-." I look over at Ussr for help, but he just gave me a small smile and nodded in confirmation. I shook my head in my hands and groan in frustrating.

"It's okay Meri." He chuckled.

"Meri?" I questioned.

"Well, yea, America Washington DC is too long to say." He smiled.

".....I like it." I whispered so he could hear. I saw him smile and blush a little bit.

"Alright, let's get to your bunk." Ussr said, turning around from his seat. I nodded in confirmation, and opened the door.

It. Was. Chaos. All of the troops were running, and yelling. I look over at Russia, and Ussr.

"Is it always like this?!" I shouted.

"No, their just panicked!" Ussr yelled.

Russia looked at his dad and motioned for something. After a few moments of shuffling he was handed a whistle and a megaphone.

"ALL RIGHT!, EVERYONE GET INTO A BLOCK FORMATION AND GIVE ME TEN!" Russia shouted. All at once it was silent, and all that could be heard was the quite shuffle of feet. I looked over at him and pointed at myself. He shook his head and I relaxed. Once the troops were done they stood in attention and Russia blew his whistle. "I want you all to meet America Washington DC. He will be in my squad and in the night squad." Russia stated. I heard an applause in the background.

"Russia!" I groaned "I don't like getting praised!" I hissed to him.

"Oh hush, you'll live." He chuckled.

I sighed and waited till it died out. I look back at Russia and he is talking to Ussr about something. I waited until they were done and they turn around to me.

"Alright troops, we are going to start the training regiment!, Go ahead and warm up, and meet me by the gate in an hour!" Russia instructed.

The troops backed out into the clearing and started to warm up. I turned around to the car and grabbed my duffle bag.

"Okay America here is the scoop. You are going to share a cabin and a bunk with Russia since the other bunks are full alright?"

"W-wait, what?!, Don't get me wrong, but are you sure that Russia is okay with this?!" I say looking over at Russia.

"Well, yeah. He's the one who suggested it." Ussr stated.

"Oh, well in that case, I guess it's okay." I say.

"Okay good, just go ahead and follow Russia to the bunk."

"Alright." I turn around to Russia waiting by the car.

"You ready to go?" He asked

"Yup!"

______Russia's POV_______
I walked away from the rest of the troops with Meri walking behind me. I walked on trusting my feet, letting my mind wander.

*Woof*

"Huh?, What is it girl?"

*Woof*

I looked down at Meri, and he's about ten feet away from me.

"ABOUT TIME!!!!, I ASKED YOU TO SLOW DOWN! MY LITTLE CORGI LEGS WONT KEEP UP WITH YOUR DAMN TREE LEGS!!" He said annoyed.

"SORRY!!, I JUST GOT LOST IN THOUGHT!" I shouted back.

He huffed madly as I waited for him to catch up. Up ahead was my-er our bunk. I looked over at him, and he sighed with relief. He shoved the duffle bag to my chest, and gave me a smirk. I have never seen him this happy for a bunk.

He dashed to the door, kicking it wide open and basically falling down to the floor. I laughed at his stupidity, which in turn, he have me a glare.

"What?!" He asked innocently.

"Nothing." I said dumping the duffle bag on him.

"Owwww." He whined.

"Well next time, you shouldn't give me your duffle bag." I chuckled

He got up to his feet, and put his hands on my cheeks. I started blushing. "What are you doing?!" I asked.

"Shhhhhh." He hushed. He put his face closer to mine. It was so close, that I could feel his breath.

"M-M-Meri!?" I stuttered.

He jerked his face away from mine. "You had some dirt on your face." He said sticking his tongue out at me.

"Uuuuugh!!" I groaned.

"What's wrong??"

"N-nothing." I muttered. "Let's just get going to the gate."

"Okay Russ."

"Russ?"

"Oh, that's your nickname...is it okay with you?"

"Uh... yeah...let's get going."
