Tears of a sunflower

Chapter 4

Sorry, i meant to get this up yesterday but my internet was out. This chapter is a flashback to when you first met Russia. Its a decent length chapter so i hope you enjoy - Sachiko<3

They were at it again. Some of the other female countries that had something against you regardless of the fact you barely knew them were bullying you again. There were five of them and they had cornered you in the World Academy bathroom.

They were slinging insults left and right and a few had sent punches your way. You were stuck this way for 20 minutes, then left there crying your eyes out from the harsh words and stinging punches that had broken you once again. After a while your friends Elizaveta, Lilly, and a bright red Kiku walked in. They had noticed you weren't in class and had a feeling you had been attacked again.

They immediately saw you and helped you up. They made sure you weren't seriously hurt and, knowing only one thing could really help, grabbed your stuffed polar bear from your backpack and sent you out to the sunflower garden that you always found comfort in.

          You ran to the field of relaxing yellow flowers, clutching the stuffed toy to your chest and sat down on your favorite bench. You started bawling, not caring who noticed, seeing as they most likely wouldn't give a fuck about the weird girl who had broken down once again.

You noticed a sudden weight on the other end of the bench and glanced up. You saw the tall Russian guy who was in your math class sitting next to you, watching you with concerned eyes. You didn't know the soviet country all that well, beyond the fact he was the country Russia and that many people found his tall stature and spooky demeanor frightening.

          You went back to sobbing into your hands for a minute until you felt yourself being pulled into a hug. You took your head off your hands and your eyes met large beautiful violet ones. He pulled you into his lap and you sobbed into his shoulder. You felt hands run through your hair, which calmed you down a bit for some strange reason.

He began singing a lullaby softly into your ear, his voice flowing perfectly with words that you could not understand but soothed you within minutes. Before long you fell asleep in his arms, tear stained face nestled in the large man's broad chest. After an hour of you being missing your friends began searching the fields for you, calling your name and looking around.

Russia waved his hand in the air to call them over. When they reached the bench he immediately shushed them so you wouldn't wake and asked Japan to drive you both to his own house. He nodded in agreement and Russia picked you up carefully as to not wake you up. Liechtenstein and Hungary were awestruck that the scary country had such a gentle side.

          Kiku drove you both to Russia's house swiftly, not wanting to anger the tall country that he had always been fearful of. When he arrived he opened the door of his Honda to let out the Russian who still had you in his lap after the whole drive and he carried you inside. Once inside he walked up the stairs and set you down in his large bed. He tucked you in and made sure you still had the polar bear that he had noticed you clutching earlier.

Once this was done he walked downstairs to see Japan in his living room. "Wourd you rike me to carr her friends and terr them to get her things and bring them over?" Japan asked quietly. 

"Da, Spasibo for that. I will take care of her tonight. Don't worry, she will be fine and I will drive her to school tomorrow. You may want to ask them to bring her some clothing and such if they can, Da. If not I can let her use something of mine." The taller country replied.

"Thank you for herping her today. Usuarry no one can carm her down when she gets that upset." 

"It is no problems for me; I wanted to make her feel better. Such a pretty girl should not cry." The two men talked a little while longer until Kiku decided he needed to leave. It was only two in the afternoon and you had been asleep for an hour or so.

Russia walked upstairs and found you stirring, mumbling in your sleep about chocolate. He lightly shook your shoulder, trying to wake you up but not wanting to startle you. You opened one eye to see the tall man peering at you. You sat up on one elbow and yawned, not quite noticing that you weren't at a house you recognized and a pale haired Russian was sitting a few feet away. 

"Holy mother of Doitsu, where the hell am I?" You said a bit loudly.

"You're at my house, you fell asleep and I had your short boyfriend drive us here, I hope that was okay, Da?" The tall and somewhat adorable Russian responded. 

"You're Russia, right? I think you're in my math class. Oh and he is just my friend, he's dating Greece."

"Da, I am. You can call me Ivan though, Ivan Braginsky." 

"Cool, I am the country of (C/N), but you call me (F/N), (F/L/N)." You responded, glad you had learned his human name. 

"Hey, ummm, stupid question but what time is it? And do you have any food?" You asked, blushing a little. 

"Da, I do. Let's go downstairs."

You both went downstairs, where he made you the most delicious stew you had ever had. For hours you played games, watched television, drew pictures, and simply talked. You learned all sorts of things about the intimidating country. Everything from his favorite food, color, game, to some stuff about his past.

In turn you told him about yourself, rambling about Pokémon and anime for a while and telling him about why you were crying. He said if anything like that ever happened again to let him know and he would help you out. He was very sweet and very cute as well as being easy to talk to. At some point Eliza brought over your backpack as well as a clean uniform and toothbrush for you. That night he insisted you sleep in his bed and he took the couch, but you wouldn't let that happen.

You finally convinced him that you could share his king size bed and you fell asleep around eleven after a delicious late dinner of homemade pizza and cupcakes that he had baked and then lit on fire with the help of some vodka. The next morning he drove you both to school and from there you became fast friends.
