His family life is good, he's come to terms with his identity, everything should be good. There's still something wrong and he can't decipher what it could be. Until meeting him. Russia is much like America: he wants to get on with life. But, his past trauma surrounding his father still follow him. He finds himself getting worst and worst with each passing day, he doesn't know how to stop it. He just wants his father out of his goddamn life. He coped in a numerous amounts of destructive ways, but it changed when he met someone. - Warnings: - Themes around LGBTQ+ Issues (Gender dysphoria, homophobia, etc.) - Mental issues (dissociation, anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc.) (Unserious) - Shipping (possible rusame, maybe I'll add some others?) - Cringe, this book is straight out of 2020 (I am really sorry for Russia's positive portrayal in this AU. I do not support the government, but I want to continue writing this fic. You might not even want to forgive me for writing him like this, but it's ok, I'm cool with that.)
