CountryHumans Love Grows

He knows how to care

The next day Finland was walking outside in a sunny day in the city. Finland heading towards EU to talk to the person in charge. Finland had an annoyed expression as she has been getting less paid again from the company she worked at. Finland stepped in the building already heading towards the main office: "Mr. Europe's Office" 

"What the Hay did I do wrong this time!?" shouted Finland angrily. "I have been working  every week as you told me to and made sure of it!". Europe looked at Finland with a very serious look. "Oh, I knew you would come here. sit down ple-" Europe got cut off as Finland hit his desk in anger shouting "No! You explain to me right now!" Europe stood there almost about to lose his temper, but calmed himself down. "Fine then. You see, you haven't done the same work everyone else has. Plus everyone with the same job as you gets same amount money as you do. Changes happen and sometimes you gotta respect them." Finland looked at Europe as if he lost his mind. "Ok sure, but I have done my side of the work!" Europe sighed as he sat down by his desk. "Look. if you really wanna get more money you should work 18 hours straight. " Finland looked at him, unsure what to say next, but she said "I have to work 10 hours already and that should be enough. Why do you gotta threat me like some employee and not your own Daughter!" . Europe went silent as he didn't wanna answer, but Finland then had enough already and left.

Finland was walking outside of her father's company feeling betrayed again. Finland decided to go to a market, but then she saw her best friend Estonia. "Hey! Viro! 'Estonia' " yelled Finland 

Estonia looked behind her and saw Finland as Estonia first sighed since she didn't really want her around. Estonia walked towards  Finland as Finland walked towards Estonia. Estonia and Finland started talking the usual, but then Estonia decided to ask Finland if she could join Nordics. Finland sighed "Estonia, I have already told you that I can't choose if you are allowed to be nordic or not... You know Sweden decides that stuff, but I can't." Estonia asked why which Finland replied "Because he is the oldest one. But Estonia hey... you already are part of Baltics" Estonia looked slightly angry, but calmed down quickly saying " I know, but I do not wanna be part of them anymore" Finland looked at Estonia unsure, but said that she understands. Estonia looked away and said she had to go, which Finland already felt guilty for. "Already? I'm sorry if I got you upset-" said Finland before she was cut out by Estonia telling her they can talk about it more later. Finland nodded as she looked down, which then Estonia decided to walk away leaving Finland. 

Finland took a deep breath and entered the market feeling as if she got nothing on her. Later Finland went home with two grocery bags with some food, but also whiskey. As she got home she put the bags on the counter, putting the food in their places and brought the whiskey bottles to her room so her brothers won't find out she drinks again, but then she heard a door bell ring. Finland went to get the whiskeys to her room's corner and went to the front door, but when she opened the door she saw Russia standing there. 

"Privet Finland." said Russia already knowing Finland wasn't in a good mood today. "Hi Russia.." replied Finland. "I noticed something is bothering you again." said Russia in a serious tone. Finland sighed as she stepped back letting Russia enter which he of course did. They walked to the living room and sat down, which Finland explained her situation with her father today, then that Estonia asked if she could be a nordic again. Russia put his hand on Finland's shoulder "Your Father is just jealous about you maybe. You are way too good to care what negative thing he tells you. " said Russia a little nervous but pretty bravely at the same time. Finland asked what about Estonia. Russia looked down thinking, which then she said "it just feels like whenever I tell her I can't give her the permission to join she just gets tired of me.." Russia quickly looked at Finland "It's not your fault that you can't give her the permission and I don't want you to blame yourself about it. Estonia yes is rude, but don't let her bother your emotions. You're a strong girl and I hope you know that" said Russia as he put his hand on Finland's hand. Finland blushed immediately from the touch, but it made her feel better inside so she allowed him to touch her as she smiled at him thanking him. Russia and Finland then hugged, which then Russia asked if she wanted to go outside and maybe make a snowman. Finland giggled and asked if he can take the cold this time, which they both laughed about, Russia telling her they'll see. Russia and Finland got up, went to the front door as Finland put on her winter clothes on and went outside to find a good spot with enough snow and where they could just spend time at. 

while later Russia and Finland were having a great time. As they were trying to work on a snowman Russia threw a snowball at Finland's back which got her attention. "Oh you piece of-" said Finland before Russia threw a snowball at Finland distracting her, which Finland wiped the snow off and said "Fine. You're messing with the wrong girl!" laughed Finland as she made a snowball and threw it at Russia, starting a snow fight. 

They eventually got their snowman done as they sat down on the snow looking at it smiling. Finland looked at Russia telling him she had amazing time with him again. Russia looked at Finland with a smile, telling her he had fun too. Finland started giggling about something, which Russia wasn't sure why which then he asked, only to be told that he got snow his fur hat. Russia took his hat off and then at Finland with a smile "no it isn't". Finland threw a snowball at Russia's  hat making him flinch as he wasn't expecting it somehow. "now it is" Finland giggled as Russia wiped the snow off looking at Finland with an evil smile  as he threw a snowball at Finland, starting a round two of the snow battle. 

Later Russia and Finland were at Finland's house drinking hot juice as Russia was covered with a blanket being comfy as he was. "Feels good to be a loser hm?" said Finland with a smile as she was sitting next to him, which he then replied with "Actually, it does. Maybe I should lose more often to get your nice not juice" which got Finland giggle, telling him that his brother taught her how to actually make it. Russia looked at Finland confused asking her what did she mean, but Finland told him it's a secret, she winked. Russia laughed a bit saying she does have a point. Finland and Russia looked at each other in the eyes feeling something warm in their hearts, which wasn't the juice, but something else. They kept looking into each others eyes as they moved slowly closer for the kiss. Until they were interrupted by a door bell ring making them not kiss. Finland nervously said she'll open it as Russia nervously laughed. Finland got up putting her mug on the coffee table and went to open the door for Sweden, Norway and Denmark. 

"I know they did that!" said Sweden to Denmark as the three walked in talking about the hockey game. Finland smiled a bit as she went back to Russia telling him he should probably go home now. Russia got up putting his empty mug on the coffee table as well, as Finland walked him to the front door  thanking him again for spending time with her. Russia said there was no problem and he will maybe see her again tomorrow. Finland smiled and hugged him tightly telling him he is always welcome to ring the door bell. Russia smiled and hugged her back telling her to have a wonderful afternoon. Russia put his hat on and walked outside going home. 

Finland smiled as she closed the door, but when she turned around she saw Denmark with a yogurt standing there and eating. "How long were you there?" asked Finland nervously, which Denmark replied "long enough I guess, but was that your boyfriend?" Finland blushed bright blue telling him they're just friends and she doesn't love him like that, which Denmark sarcastically said sure as he walked to his room while still eating the  yogurt. Finland felt embarrassed as she went to her room to put on her night clothes on. 

Finland laid down on her bed looking up at the ceiling wondering "Do I love him?"
