Russia x Reader Chapter 12

The gentle rays of the rising sun beaming through your window woke you up. The fire had burned itself out, now just warm embers glowing in the fireplace. But you weren't cold; a small, warm body snuggled into you had kept you from freezing.

  Smiling softly, you reached down and gently kissed the small Russia's forehead. A faint trace of a warm smile appeared on his face, and he sighed contently, as if your touch had thrown him into a joyful dream.

 Cautiously, you sat up, careful not to wake the small child from his slumber. You gently tucked the covers back around him, placing a sunflower on his chest. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep, and the troubled look he often wore as an adult was nowhere to be seen.

 Knowing that he would probably be hungry when he awoke, you walked to the kitchen to make breakfast. You walked over to the pantry, wondering what he might like. The first thing that came to your mind was vodka, but you couldn't give that to a child!
 
 Chuckling softly at the thought, you picked up some flour, and a few other ingredients before walking back to the kitchen, and setting them down. After getting milk and eggs from the fridge, as well as bacon from the freezer, you began making pancakes.

 Breakfast was finished before long, and you joyfully poured two glasses of milk for you both. Then a soft voice came from behind you,"(First name) ......?"

 You turned around to see an adorable chibi Russia rubbing his eyes sleepily.... Was it just you, or was he an inch taller...? Your confusion rewired itself as a bright and happy smile. "Доброе утро~!" You chimed sweetly. (Good morning~!)

 Russia blinked rapidly, a small smile plastered on his face. "Доброе утро." He replied, gazing up at you with those pure violet eyes. "(First name), were you the one who put this next to me...?" Russia asked, pulling the bright sunflower from behind his back.
 Nodding sweetly, you said,"Da, do you like it?" His eyes widened a bit, his smile growing until a childish grin stretched across his face. "Da, da!" He exclaimed,"I like sunflowers, they're so pretty~!"

 You smiled cheerfully,"That they are. I'm glad you like it Russia~" No sooner had you gotten that sentence out before you suddenly found the small child hugging you. "Спасибо, спасибо, спасибо!" (thank you, thank you, thank you!) He exclaimed, although it was a bit muffled from his face pressed up against your coat.

 Chuckling lightly, you hugged him back before quietly murmuring,"Are you hungry? I made breakfast~" This caused Russia to quickly look up at you, nodding fervently.

 "Haha, good!" You chimed, releasing him from your embrace, and fixing him a plate. Gently setting the food on the kitchen table, you pulled out a chair for him and patted it gently. The next scene was probably the most adorable thing you've ever seen.

 Due to Russia's new young age, he was incredibly short. This caused....difficulties in him getting onto the chair. He himself was shorter than the chair, so he had to use his tiny arms to attempt to pull himself on top of it. However, he wasn't able to completely pull himself up, and was left suspended in the air, kicking his short chibi legs back and forth frantically, trying to find a foothold.

 Trying your best not to laugh, you watched as he let go, landing back on the ground. He landed with his weight on his heels, causing him to lose balance, and to fall backwards, landing on his butt. He looked up at you with pleading eyes, a few tears at the corners of his eyes.

 Smiling softly, you reached down and picked up up, gently setting him on the chair and pushing it in. His eyes lit up, and he cast you a grateful look before beginning to eat. You sat next to him, and began eating as well.

 When you two were both finished, you threw the plates in the dishwasher, and turned it on. You turned back to Russia, and was about to suggest going outside when your phone vibrated. Raising an eyebrow, you took out your phone, reading a text.
'ALL COUNTRIES: Due to Russia, the leader of the Union's passing, a World Meeting has been called for today at 12 noon to discuss if this war shall continue, and if not, possible terms of peace. This is an emergency meeting, thus all countries will be required to come.'

 You sighed, remembering that you were the only one knowing about Russia's revival... "(First Name), is something wrong?" Russia's gentle voice snapped you out of your thoughts.
 "...Russia... We have to go to a World Meeting." You said, avoiding his question. His eyes filled with curiosity, and he tilted his head slightly, confusion written across his face. "A World Meeting...?"
