Russia finds out that he's having to share a dorm room with the one and only America, a country that's too loud, too excited, and too touchy for Russia's taste. However, America isn't as happy as he always seems, but Russia doesn't want to play therapist for the other country as he deals with issues of his own. Can the two find love together, or will they push each other away and ruin their friendship? haha wow, that sounded cheesy lol just a rusame fic thats hopefully not too cringey! :3 also there will eventually be smut i think, but rn im just trying to make it an actual story ((Also, disclaimer!!! Some of this isn't historically accurate!!!! Most of it, actually. I'm treating these countries as my own characters, how they act is in no way how I see the country as))
