♡The Black Swan♡ (A RusGer Fanfic)

Chapter 29

( Russia's POV)

      Russia woke up to see that Germany was not where he was last night. Russia sat up and looked for him. He heard snoring coming from below him, and he looked down to see the German fast asleep. He must have rolled off in his sleep. For a fleeting moment, Russia thought that he had landed on his hurt shoulder. However, he was laying on his right side and didn't seem to be in any pain. Russia sighed; he was cute when he was asleep.

      He decided to see if he would wake up. Reaching over, he gently ran his fingers through his semi-messy hair. The moment he did so, he questioned whether or not it was a good idea. Germany really needed some sleep; however, Russia wasn't sure how long he would be asleep. Germany would also need to eat so that he wouldn't run on dead batteries. Russia decided that he might as well wake him up.

       Russia rustled Germany's hair. Germany slowly sat up on his right side. He was starting to roll onto his left side.

" Germany, wait!" Russia warned him.

       He wasn't quick enough. Germany shifted his weight onto his left arm and almost immediately collapsed to the floor. It wasn't a far fall, but it was painful nonetheless. Russia got off the couch and stepped over him. He laid on the floor next to Germany.

" Did you forget that your shoulder was hurt?" Russia asked. Really, he wanted to be sure that he was okay. Germany replied with a grunt.

" You have to let it rest!"

" I know..."

       Russia felt bad for Germany. It must suck having simple actions messed up due to an injury.

" Are you hungry?" Russia asked, gently picking Germany up.

" I could eat, I guess.." Germany responded with a yawn.

      Russia smiled. He placed he tired German on the couch. He walked over to the fridge. Japanese Empire didn't mind Russia going through their food; he was at Japan's house all the time. He eventually found waffles in the freezer. After confirming that Germany was okay with that, he popped a few in the toaster for himslef and Germany.

      When Russia came back from the kitchen, Germany was already working. He was still using Japan's laptop, which had....questionable images on it. However, Germany didn't seem to bothered by them. Judging by his expression, Russia came to the conclusion that he was in one of his work trances, and it was going to be hard to get him out of it.

      From another room, Russia could hear the faint sound of bells jingling. Curious, he followed the noise to Japan's room. He could now hear giggling mixed in with it. Russia knocked on the door.

" Come in!" Japan said.

      Russia opened the door to see Japan sitting on her bed with South in her lap. South's hands were busy tying something around her lover's neck. Upon closer inspection, Russia saw that they were large, golden bells. They were a lot like cat bells, but they were human-sized. This really was something that only Japan would wear, but it did look cute on her.

" What do you think?" Japan asked him.

" It looks..nice!"

     Japan smiled and cheerfully left the room. South smiled at Russia before leaving after her. Russia went down to the living room and checked on the toaster waffles. They were still a little "raw", so he pushed them back into the toaster.

      Germany was still working when the waffles popped up again; they were much crisper now. Russia kissed Germany on the forehead, which brought him out of his trance quite quickly.

" Ready to eat?" Russia said softly.

" Yeah, sure."

     Russia was on his way back to Japan's house. He had to run home after getting a phone call from Estonia. Bulgaria, his butter-fingered brother, dropped a glass plate and cut his hand. Russia has all the bandages in his bathroom, and no one was really allowed in there. On top of that, Belarus had insisted upon riding Ukraine like a horse and wouldn't let him go. It was actually quite funny- that was, until they crashed into the wall.

      Russia decided to take in the things he saw on his walks. Germany had always pointed out many things that he usually never noticed. It was actually kind of nice; it made him appreciate the little things in life. As Russia looked up at the sky, he heard faint honking. He squinted at the bright sun and saw a long, birdlike silhouette. 

"Maybe I'm crazy," Russia said to himself. " But was that... the swan?"

       Russia looked away and continued his walk. He had never seen the swan fly so high- or be anywhere else besides the lake, for that matter. He thought that Germany would like to hear about this. Germany seemed really excited when he took Russia to see it for the first time. Maybe he would have the same excitement.

      He knocked on the door to Japan's house. Russia was surprised to see that Japanese Empire was the one to answer the door.

" Hello, Russia," she said.

" Hey! How's Germany?"

" Well..."

     Russia looked up at her with wide eyes. Had something happened to Germany while he was gone?

Japanese Empire seemed to notice the look on his face.

" Don't worry, he's not hurt. His shoulder is healing It's just that... he's a little down, that's all."

Russia breathed out a sigh of relief. At least he was okay.

      Japanese Empire moved our of the way to let Russia in. As soon as he walked in, Russia saw that Israel was patting Germany on his non-hurt shoulder. Germany didn't look like he had been crying, but his eyes were pitifully low.

     Russia walked over to him. He sat next to him on the couch and hugged him, being careful not to squeeze his shoulder. Germany slowly hugged back. Russia didn't know for sure what was wrong, but he had a good guess. He thought now would be a good time to tell him about the swan.

" So, while I was walking back, I think I saw the black swan flying over."

       Germany pulled away from Russia. He saw the melancholy is Germany's expression wash away, letting curiosity take its place.

" R-really? I've never seen it anywhere outside of the pond!"

   Russia looked at Israel for a moment. He didn't seem to be listening to their conversation; he was talking to Belgium about something.

" Maybe we should go later this week!" Germany suggested.

      Russia nodded in agreement. Secretly, this is what he had hoped that Germany would want to do. For once, Russia actually had a plan for something.

He planned to finally ask Germany to be his boyfriend. 

     ( Hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! I apologize for it being so late. I had a dentist appointment, and it was really early in the morning.

I feel like every time a chapter is late, I have to explain myself.

Why do I bother? Nobody cares.
