Pale (COUNTRYHUMANS)

3

Back inside, everyone was quiet
No one had talked since Russia left, and it had been around 5 minutes since he left, no one had moved or bothered to talk at all
It was until the door opened, and everyone looked at the door, only to see Russia walk in

"So??"

Canada asked desperately, gripping onto the sides of the seat so tightly that his knuckles turned white, Russia raised an eyebrow at him, before turning to the UN, who looked at him with beady eyes

"He is just sick"

Almost everyone in that room groaned after Russia said that, some sliding down in their seats

"We know that, anything else?"

UN said boredly, Russia shrugging

"I have no clue, that is all he said to me"

UN nodded, and Russia noticed Germany had his eyes narrowed, looking at him
Russia turned to him, and raised an eyebrow

"You are lying"

The German said, narrowing his eyes even more, so he was basically death glaring him
Everyone turned to Germany with confused stares, Russia didn't move an inch, crossing his arms and looking slightly offended at Germany

"Why would I lie about something like this?"

Russia said, his voice even sounding offended
Germany opened his mouth, but the sounds of doors opening cut him off
Everyone turned to see America walk in, looking at everyone confused, then at Russia
Surprisingly, the American looked fine, despite sobbing his eyes out 5 minutes earlier

"What is happen-"

"Are you really sick??"

Canada said, looking at America with sadness
America nodded

"Yeah, just a common cold"

He said, shrugging as he stood near Russia, who was previously having a death staring contest with Germany, but the German turned towards America

"You sure? That didn-"

"Drop the subject, he said is sick, so he is sick, end of story"

Russia said, cutting Germany off as he walked back to his seat
America walked back to his seat as well, a little bit shocked that Russia, his known enemy, had actually stood up for him

The rest of the meeting was pretty uneventful, the UN asking boring shit, Canada and Aussie, along with Kiwi, surprisingly staying quiet, and Britain asking America questions like
'Are you ok?'
'Maybe you should go to the doctor?"
"Oh right, you don't have free healthcare, nevermind that then"
"You look faded, America"

That lost one shocked America, he thought he was just hallucinating this morning, but did he actually look that..grey??
The meeting had finally ended, and America left quickly, ignoring every country that tried to talk to him and running back to his house
He eventually arrived, running up to the door and opening it, running in and slamming it shut
He stumbled to his bathroom, arriving in front of the door and opening it
He looked at himself in the mirror, taking off his glasses, and his father was right
His flag's colors looked like they had faded a bit, making them a weird color, and he panicked, not knowing what was happening to him
He walked out of the bathroom and to his room, sitting on the bed in shock, so he did look as bad as Canada and Britain had said
He felt fur rub against his leg, and he looked down, seeing his cat Sam rubbing against his leg to try and comfort him
America smiled weakly at the cat, picking him up and putting the cat on his lap, the cat gladly curling up and sleeping on his lap
America quickly realized his mistake, now he couldn't get up
He sighed, falling down on his back, grabbing his phone out of his pocket
He saw that his brothers had repeatedly texted him, Canada still spamming him
America turned his phone on silent and threw it carefully away from him
The phone landed far away from him while still being on the bed, and America shrugged, petting his cat gently as the cat purred
He smiled slightly, but then he stared at his ceiling, thinking to himself again

"God, why does it have to be me??"

Yup, the next chapter will get down to business, I guess this is just a "prepare for what is about to happen" chapter, you know?

Anyway, thanks for sticking with this odd book, if you even did stick with it-
