Photoshoot

Today the production team is prepping for a photoshoot for the covers of the movie and such. This time the crowd of actresses and actors wasn't as big as yesterday.

In fact it was really small, just around 5 people.

America and Russia were two of the five people due to being the main characters. They stood in the hallway on their way to their dressing rooms while talking.

"I could've given you a lift here."

"It's okay I wouldn't want to trouble you, I know you have a busy schedule as well."

"It's really no trouble but if you say so..." they both walked side by side, suddenly in front of them was their fellow actor Spain who was also here for the photoshoot.

When Spain noticed the two of them his face beamed with happiness, "thank god I found you two, I'm actually a bit lost and I can't find the shooting area can one of you help me please?"

America felt quite relieved that he could help Spain for once since he was one of the only actors last week during their first meeting who didn't look at him any differently. "Sure I'll help, excuse me for a second Russia I'll be right back."

Russia watched Spain with a judging look but it wasn't anything bad like someone trying to scrutinize every single bad detail someone had.

A smile appeared on the Russian's face, "okay, I trust you know the way back."

Then Russia walked towards his dressing room leaving the two of them behind.

"You know, during the time period you were gone, he was really cold and grouchy for the most part, whoever worked with him would be scared to death. It's glad to know he calmed down, I'm pretty sure it's because you're back and I guess he's happy to have his good friend back."

America raised an eyebrow as they started walking, "really?"

Spain nodded again, "yeah, I'm sure he was super annoyed yesterday when that random actor started to say bad things about you so I can totally understand why he'd retort back, you have a really nice friend."

"Haha you think so?" America chuckled a little, there was a hint of bitterness in his tone. America continued, "I've been meaning to ask, don't you fell uncomfortable being around me? Ya know, because of the rumors and stuff."

"No not really, there wasn't any proof you actually did it, though I'm sure some people find it suspicious since you left without defending yourself at all. Well until anything is confirmed I'll just stick to being friends with everyone." Spain said with a gentle smile, soon they reached the shooting area where they parted ways for now.

America went back into his dressing room and ate the food he brought, it was Japan's cooking that she'd give him every so often. Even when America never told anyone his address while he was gone she still somehow managed to send the lunches with kind of worries the American.

Suddenly his dressing room door opened a little and a head peeked in.

"Can I come in?" The Russian asked. America smiled as he unwrapped the candy he got along with the lunch, "Sure."

Russia plopped down next to America and watched him fumble around. His eyes eventually shifted to the lunch that Japan sent, it was unclear what expression he was making right now.

The shorter male noticed this weird expression, "what's wrong?"

"Nothing," the taller male whipped his head away.

America shrugged and continued to chew on his candy.

After awhile of awkward silence since Russia didn't want to face America again, America didn't know what to say.

"I'm a bit sleepy..." he muttered as he slowly dozed off.

America woke up to a familiar Russian accent calling him, "it's almost time for the photoshoot you should wake up."

"Ah okay." He said as he rubbed his eyes, he then realized he had accidentally dozed off on the taller male's shoulder. But it didn't seem like Russia was gonna mention it so he shut his mouth.

Russia got up abruptly, "I'll get some water, I'll be right back." He said as he left the room leaving the bleary eyed American alone.

'It's almost time for the shoot I should get ready-"

The American got up and took off his shirt, then the door suddenly opened.

Russia entered, his eyes widened a little, he immediately turned around and slammed the door shut again.

But then he remembered something so he entered the room again and placed a water bottle on the table. His head was hung low seemingly trying to avoid contact as much as possible. Russia then speed walked to the door and slammed it shut again.

"...what's up with him?"

After he was done he exited his dressing room to see Russia with his head hung low, America couldn't pinpoint his expression.

Throughout the entire walk to the set the Russian didn't even spare a glance once which was quite odd.

When they entered the set the staff immediately directed them to the photo area where they instructed the two actors on how to pose and such.

America kept getting odd glances from the surrounding staff which he tried his best to ignore but he ended up hearing the whispers anyway.

More or less they were generally talking about, 'he only has face, I can't believe they let him even act in the movie,' and so on.

And so the two of them did the photoshoot with stunning results.

In one of the in between while changing the set background and props, the lighting stand accidentally tipped over falling straight towards America.

By the time he noticed it was too late, the lighting stand came crashing down.

But when America opened his eyes he was fine, instead he was on the ground being pressed against something heavy. An arm was wrapped around his waist, as the American's vision cleared a little he realized on top of him was Russia who helped him avoid the lighting stand. His face went bright red.

"Are you okay?" His voice was right next to his ear making him tremble slightly.

"I'm fine-"

The staff immediately rushed towards them to help them up, luckily both only had minor injuries. The staff apologized profusely for the accident.

Thinking about the accident again the American became extremely flustered once again.

'What's going on??? Stop it! Stop it! Stop thinking about it! He just helped you because he could-' America internally scolded himself.

America glanced over at the taller male again only to whip his head around and attempt to cover his face with his hands.
