Shooting Stars- Russia's Ending (Part 1)

“I wish Russia was real.” I giggled thinking about the large nation. He was just too cute! He’s just misunderstood is all. I wouldn’t mind being his friend and living in a large Sunflower patch with him. His nose was also adorable. I would like to kiss his large nose once. Or to stare into his violet eyes in real life. Would his eyes actually be purple if he was real? Or would they be changed to a different color. I know people can have purple eyes, but it was pretty rare.
I thought for a moment. “They’d probably be purple.” I decided. It’s not like I’d ever know though. I nearly fell asleep on the spot but I somehow managed to walk home. As soon as I got home I collapsed on my bed.
The Next Day
I fluttered my eyes open seeing sunlight and the mattress felt weird somehow… “You are awake now, da?” I sweet voice with a Russian accent asked. I jumped and looked to where the voice came from. A man with platinum blonde hair was right next to me in my bed… Did he have purple eyes?! I couldn’t speak I was too scared to. “What is wrong? Oh are you hungry?” The Russian asked smiling softly at me, almost sickenly so.  I shivered but nodded yes all the same. He flashed a sweet smile yet again. “I will make you something, my little sunflower.” He said ruffling my hair softly and getting up, his scarf nearly reaching the floor. ‘Why was he wearing a coat and scarf in this weather?’ I thought to myself. My eyes wandered around the room, wondering what I could do.
Something quite large caught my eye and they widened. “Oh my gosh… is that a pipe?!” I said out loud. Sure enough it was a pipe. Said pipe looked quite similar to Ivan’s infamous pipe… No it can’t be. Let’s think about this... Long coat and scarf, he called me ‘Sunflower’, has violet eyes and blonde hair, and last of all he had a Russian accent. And now I see a pipe…  is that blood on it?...It had to be. This wasn’t physically possible… was it? I slowly and cautiously walked towards the kitchen and heard the tall male hum a tune sounding upbeat and cheery. “Ivan?” I asked shyly. The man looked up, staring into my eyes with glee. “Da?”
I started breathing heavily. It was Russia, Ivan! In real life, in MY HOUSE!! “Russia!” I smiled hugging him tightly. He was too heavy and strong to push over with my forceful hug. He was so warm and just… well, huggable! He just chuckled softly and stroked my hair. “My sunflower, did you finally recognize me?” “Da.” I smiled brightly. In return Ivan smiled at me. “You sound so adorable when you speak Russian.” I noticed he started pushing down sort of roughly on my head. “Ivan… you’re hurting me.” I said as the pressure began to be more forceful.
“Oh? Sorry,  hehe you are just so cute!” He grinned at me affectionately.  Oh my gosh, he said I was cute~! And he touched my head… I’ll never wash the top of my head again, ever. People do that, right? “T-Thank you!” “Breakfast is finally ready now~” Ivan slowly handed me my warm breakfast with consisted of eggs and bacon. Both foods looked cooked perfectly, steam rising above the edible breakfast items. I drooled, not sure what to eat first as the scent of breakfast hit my nose. Ivan chuckled as he picked up a plate with the same things for himself. He pulled me towards my wooden dining table, I didn’t have a dining room ‘cause y’know… I don’t have an actual house, just a tiny little apartment on my college campus. “Eat now, Sunflower. Or else it will be getting cold!” I nodded and smiled widely, glad that he was taking care of me.
“So, what are we doing later? I do not know this place that well.” “W-What do you mean?” Ivan smiled and pat my head then ruffled my hair. “I am taking you on date, da~? So, I must know where to go.” I blushed darkly and looked up at him. “W-Well… there’s a nice sunflower field around here...” “I would like that.” Ivan almost immediately answered while grinning. I remembered, in his home it was very cold and hardly anything grew. I felt bad for the tall Russian sitting before me. He just wanted some warmth.  “Well, we can go after breakfast if you’d like.” I suggested, finally eating. Ivan smiled, I’m assuming because of  the fact I’m eating and that I said we could go. His smile was so wide, it made me smile in return. “Okay, I hope it doesn’t get too warm... This is all I have to wear.” He tugged at his scarf and coat in an embarrassed manner. “I do not have fancy clothes like you do… And I would never want to leave behind traditional scarf from big sister…” He frowned and blushed lightly.
I know that his scarf was important to him… It was practically a part of him at this point. “I can always get you new clothes.” I offered. Ivan smiled gleefully “That would be very nice of you.” “And you could just wear these clothes once it gets colder!” He nodded and his cheeks turned a bright shade of pink.
-Later-
I panted while walking ever so slowly through the grass. I looked over to Ivan to see how he was reacting to the intense heat. The violet-eyed man seemed perfectly fine, smiling and even having a skip in his step while wearing the large pale coat. My face paled, wondering how he wasn’t affected. Oh well, he’s just too badass I guess… Hehe, probably…! “Sunflower, hurry up~! I want to see flowers!” I nodded while uttering a: “I-I’ll be right there!” I trudged in the extremely hot weather. The Sun was beating down on my forehead and I wiped away the beads of sweat forming on my forehead. “Are you okay?” “Y-Yeah… I’m fine.” I huffed and closed my eyes, wandering aimlessly.
I felt my feet losing contact with the ground. My eyes shot open in fear once open, I caught sight of those violet eyes… “Be more careful, da?” I nodded and wrapped my arms around Ivan’s neck, making sure I didn’t fall. My face felt warm in that moment, to the point where I felt like passing out. “Ah, we are here!” Ivan exclaimed while grinning and giggling slightly. After setting me down on my feet he stared in awe at his surroundings then looked back at me. “D-Do you like it?” I stuttered. He nodded and walked back over to me and looked into my eyes deeply. “Thank you~ Thank you so much.” He kissed my forehead quickly and I blushed darkly. He chuckled before whispering: “I love you, ________” “I-I love you too, I-Ivan~” I smiled while hugging him tightly. We both looked towards the tall, wavering sunflowers…. They certainly looked even more beautiful after the time I spent with Ivan… He has made me happier than ever.
