If We Won and You Lost

“What? You can’t be serious” England whisper yells

“Russia is a closed off country, if you are seen something bad will happen to both Americas” Miria says sternly

“Then what do we do?”

“Only Russia can go if he wants too”

All eyes are on Russia, wondering if he will go help the one he supposedly hates.

“I’ll go” he says, getting up

He catches sight of other Russia pinning other America to the ground. He runs to the front door where he sees America swearing while trying to open it.

“Need help~?” he asks cheerily

America narrows his eyes.

“Why are you asking?” he asks

“Because I am the only one who can help you” Russia answers

He pulls a key from his pocket and inserts it into the lock then opens the door. He turns to America with an innocent smile. America scowls and runs past him. Russia takes the key and follows. They hear a scream and a loud smack. They enter the living room where other Russia has just punched other America in the nose and it is now bleeding. Russia rushes forward and hooks his arms under other Russia’s armpits and pulls him back. America goes to his other self and helps him off the floor while he holds his nose. Other America looks at America doe eyed.

“Y-You?” he stutters sounding nasally with his bloody nose

The two Americas stare at each other until there is a thud. They turn to see Russia with his boot on other Russia’s back, pushing him onto the floor.
“You are weak and closed off” Russia says

“Нет! I am not weak!” other Russia yells

“Da you are, you sit here alone with no one to keep you company”

“Нет, I-”

“You don’t have the Baltics here, not even your sisters come to visit”

“How do you know about them?”

Russia moves his foot, allowing other Russia to stand and turn around. When he does his eyes widen. Russia himself is a little surprised seeing that other Russia is shorter than him.

“With your seclusion you have gotten shorter” Russia comments

Other Russia looks between himself and Russia before growling.

“That doesn’t matter, I am fine on my own”

“You’re short, your skin and hair are paler than mine and you live with a dumb American”

“Hey!” the two Americas say, offended

“That doesn’t matter, I am strong!” other Russia shouts

“Do you have friends?” Russia asks

Other Russia is silent.

“I do, we may not be the best friends, but I am still their friend”

Other Russia growls and lunges at him. Russia blocks his attack as the two push back and forth until Russia pushes his other self against the wall. Russia pins his wrists while the other struggles, trying to push him away. Russia leans in close to him.

“You will continue to grow weaker until you fade away, you need to let people in so you can grow” he whispers

“Why are you telling me this?” other Russia asks

“Because that’s what I did, I let people in and became the strong nation I am now” Russia answers

Russia reaches behind him and picks up the first aid kit that wasn’t there before.

“Let people in” he says handing it to other Russia

He looks at other America, who is still holding his bleeding nose. He takes a step toward him. Other America jumps when other Russia’s hand shoots out and grabs his arm. He drags him to the couch and forces him to sit. He moves his hand and starts cleaning up the blood. Russia grins, he walks to America and starts pulling him away.

“Hey, we’re not done yet!” America complains

“Da, we are, now let’s go”

Russia pushes him out the door then peeks back in.

“Don’t forget to give Latvia a call, I’m sure he would love to hear from you”

Other Russia turns and nods, smiling knowingly then Russia leaves.

“What was that?” America asks once they leave.

“It’s as I said, we’re done here” Russia says as they walk back to the group who is waiting not too far away

“No it isn’t, I’m still in a dress and have lots a bruises”

“It’s like what we did with Spain and England, all we need to do is give them a push in the right direction”

“But-”

“No buts, this is all we can do”

America crosses his arms, grumbling to himself. He looks back at the house and wonders if his other self will be alright. He shakes his head and looks away, knowing he will. Despite his stubbornness.
