Chapter three – A Russian Confession

               “Toris, come here.” The plain faced man paled, pausing in his dusting. Ivan had had him cleaning the house to perfection all week. He hadn’t told Tori why, though, but he knew better than to ask. The Russian did not appreciate when people pried into his business.

               “Yes, Mr. Russia?” The younger nation walked towards where the larger nation sat. He didn’t bother to look at him as he approached, his eyes trained on the dancing flames of the fire. The fire was a blessing on this frigid winter day.

               “Seat, please.” Ivan motioned towards the arm chair across from him. Toris hesitantly took a seat. The older nation still hadn’t bothered to lift his eyes from the fire. For a long time, they sat in silence. Lithuania waited patiently for his superior to speak like a good subordinate.

               “I suppose you would like to know why I have had you cleaning so much.” Ivan’s sudden speaking caused the man across from him to jump in his seat. His violet eyes finally met the forest green orbs of his subordinate. Slowly, Toris nodded.

               “Y-Yes, Sir, I would like to know very much.” His voice betrayed his nervousness. A smirk twitched on Ivan’s lips.

               “I am having a friend come over for a week. I am lucky to have you. Her stay will be in the utmost comfort.” Ivan smiled his sickly innocent smile. Toris’ stomach squeezed in fear when Ivan said the feminine pronoun. The last time he had brought a female home with him had been a bloody mess.

               “Oh, I see! Who is she?” Realizing how pushy he as being, the smaller man continued. “I-I mean, if you don’t mind me asking.” Ivan shifted in his seat, his eyes returning to the fire.

               “She’s a girl who I can’t seem to figure out . . . I have met her only once, but her whole existence dumbfounds me.” Ivan mumbled lowly but loud enough so Toris could hear what he was saying. “She is nothing like her grandmother.”

               “Her grandmother? Wait, she’s a human?” The Lithuanian stared in shock at the older man. This couldn’t be a repeat of what happened nearly fifty years ago, could it?

               “Da, I think you remember her. Her name was Susan. A beautiful woman she was.” Ivan’s eyes met his once again. Toris didn’t know how to feel. Of course he remembered Susan, she was had been the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.

               Susan ____ had been forced to Ivan’s house during a dispute between the Russian man and the American personification. Knowing Susan was Alfred’s crush, Ivan had taken it upon himself to take her and beat her in hopes of breaking America’s spirit. Ivan mind was at its sickest point on the time. His violence had been blind to him until he finally snapped out of his jealous daze. When he did, gloom was all Toris ever felt in the home.

               The whole story is for another time.

               “Yes, I do.” Toris’ said lowly, his eyes casting down on the floor. Ivan noticed and sighed heavily.

               “Please do not hold what I did to Susan to me now. I was . . . I don’t how to describe what I was. I was desperate for a friend and she wouldn’t even come near me as she befriended everyone else. I acted rashly . . .” Ivan took a deep breath as the memories of her screams filled his head. He sometimes caught himself enjoying the memories. It sickened Ivan.

               “That’s why I need you here, to make sure I don’t push myself onto her. I have a special feeling about her.” Pleading violet eyes stared at the stunned man. Never had Ivan sounded so pitiful when speaking to Toris. He was always happy and smiling.

               “I will do my best, Sir. What is her name?”

               “Her name is ____ ____. Beautiful, da?”

               “Yes.”

Sorry for the shortness!!!! ;-; Ivan is such a difficult person to write so I am hoping he isn’t too out of character!! The whole Ivan-Kidnapping-Susan-Out-Of-Jealousy ordeal with be dealt with in chapter five or the epilogue but it will be explained. It’s kind of important and affects the ending of this short story.

 

Until next time!
