Small Secrets; Big problem

Stow away (3)

=With the Alaska Twins=

The two had gone to their room to play, however, when they heard someone following them they were excited. Once they had gotten to their room they heard the man behind them speak.

"Я слышал вы двое говорите на моем языке" (So I heard you two can speak my language) This made their faces light up.

" Наконец-то кто-то еще, кто может говорить с нами об этом! Ты мамин друг, Россия?" (Finally someone else who can speak it with us! Are you mama's friend, Russia?) After Ivan nodded they spoke again.

" Он говорит о тебе все время! Ты должен быть с ним так часто! Иногда он весь красный, потому что Лиззи и они говорят странные вещи об этом." ( He talks about you all the time! You must hang out with him so much! Sometimes he gets all red cause Lizzy and they say weird things about it) The two pulled Ivan into their room.

It was filled with origami snowflakes and constellations. They played with Ivan for a while before they heard someone yell a couple of other names.

"They must've flashed the other adults. You should probably leave before they realize you were here." The girl spoke.

"But you will be back right?" The boy asked.

Ivan smiled "Да, little ones, I will be back." He turned to leave before the boy grabbed the end of his scarf.

"I'm Nikolai and my sister is Anastasia, what's your name?"

"Иван" (Ivan) Was all the Russian man said before he left.

=Wednesday Morning December 9=

The meeting came and went like normal. However in the end as everyone left, Russia stayed. Alfred knew he had to wait for everyone to leave even if he hated it.

"So, Amerika... I think we need to talk." Ivan had a smile but not his usual one. This one was almost soft.

"What do you need?" Alfred asked politely.

"Two little birdies made me promise I would stop by and play with them again.~ So I assumed Mama Bird should know~" With each word Alfred grew paler.

"Are you saying...?" The nervousness in his voice made Ivan smile more.

"Anastasia and Nikolai are personifications of Alaska, Да? Meaning they are technically my children too~" The second sentence made his Alfred tense.

Ivan walked closer to the American before raising his hand up to above Alfred's head. The young nation was mentally ready to be chucked across the room but instead, the taller just ruffled his hair, ever so careful of his stubborn cowlick.

"Now they are OUR secret," Ivan spoke with his soft smile. Alfred looked shocked, to say the least, but he quickly replaced it with a warm smile.

It was a genuine smile, not like one Ivan had ever seen on the American. Normally he wore a fake smile but now this true and genuine smile was the only thing keeping him from crying of joy.

"Well if you want to be involved with their lives, you're gonna need to make a good impression with their siblings." America pulled out a pair of sunglasses before handing them to him. "And you might need this." Then he grabbed Ivan's free hand and nearly dragged him out of the room and towards the garage.

"Where are we going?" The Russian man asked barely keeping up with the other. They soon got to America's car.

"You can't have a secret you only know a part of. Proper introductions are in order!" With that, they got in the car and drove to Alfred's estate. The car ride was full of excited chatter between the two, well Alfred was excited and Ivan amused with the nation's high energy level. Soon enough they entered the manor.

Unlike the day before the home was brimming with children. The two nations walked into a large living room where Candy and Alex were entertaining the younger kids including Anastasia and Nikolai. Danny or Daniel walked up to Alfred.

"Pops, y'know that the Russian is here 'ight? Why didn't you call so we could hide."
"Yes, but I brought him. I trust him so no need to worry."
Candy saw the three and began to joke around.
"Look guys Mom brought the great handsome dreamy Russia with him~" Alfred went red but before Ivan could ask he made eye contact with the snowy twins.

When the Alaskan twins saw Ivan their faces lit up. This was immediately followed by them jumping up and running to the Russian.

"Ты сдержал свое обещание! " (You kept your promise!) Anastasia chirped.

"Да, и мама принесла тебя, так что нам не нужно беспокоиться о том, что они покажут тебе! " (Yeah and mama brought you so we don't have to worry about them flashing you!) Nikolai chimed in. Ivan smiled.

" Конечно, мои маленькие снежинки, но что ты имеешь в виду?" (Of course my little snowflakes, but what do you mean flashing me?) That's when Daniel from last time decided to join the conversation.

Meanwhile, Alfred was lecturing Candy on how she can't say stuff like that in front of the impressionable younger children.

"They mean the neutralizer. It essentially causes targeted and permanent amnesia. I developed it myself. "

"Have you had to use it a lot?"

"Yeah, but it's never been tested on personifications until like this week.." Ivan nodded.

" It seems to have worked though, Да?" Daniel frowned.

"so far... but I have a bad feeling about the future." Ivan nodded understanding the feeling. He was in fact having that same feeling at that very moment. 

His suspicions were answered much sooner than he believed as he found himself being dragged away into a dark room.
