RussiaXReader- Life As We Know It 28

You didn't realize it but you were running way too fast for America to keep up with you, and you kept going until you reached the area of land where his house was. You stopped when you got there and noticed that there were construction workers fixing his house up. You stood outside on the sidewalk and let America catch up to you.

"Hey, I'm really sorry about your house. I didn't mean to wreck it and all," you felt bad, but you were still in a hurry to get to Russia. "Are the others here?"

"Yeah, they should be in the area that we were sleeping in," he replied, catching his breath.

"Kay," you grabbed hold of the doorknob just in time to see the cop car on the side of the road. 'Oh great there's a cop here.'

You let America walk in first and followed him in, shutting the door behind you. There was a bunch of happy faces when the nations saw that you've returned. But Ivan wasn't anywhere in sight. You also took notice that the part of the house was taped off for reconstruction. Instead of going upstairs to find him you looked to the others.

"Listen up guys I have something really important to tell you all," you spoke as if you were about to give a speech. "America stay quiet because you already know."

They all kept their eyes on you and stayed serious since what they were hearing sounded like business.

"I know what happened yesterday was....bad, but I'd like to share some good news with you guys. But then again it's fun letting you guess what it is. See if you can notice anything different about me," you started saying everyone's human names aloud while pointing at each when you got to their name. You stopped at Germany, Prussia, and Romano since you didn't know theirs.

Almost instantaneously they all got wide eyes in shock and mouths were dropped. You smiled out of pride and were glad they found out right away. You elbowed America, trying to give him the message since he was so stoked about it.

"Dudes, isn't this great?! She remembers everything!" he sounded just as excited as he looked. "Tell them _______, something from the past."

"Well there's so much that happened. I guess I'll start with my first World Conference. First I met America, then France, then China and England, then Italy, and then Spain. The only ones who really wanted to be my friends were America, Italy, and Spain. Then later I became friends with Japan."

They all seemed so shocked at how you managed to regain your memory over the course of one night. But they saw that you still had something else to tell them. It was very important that you get the information to them as soon as you could.

"Also, since I went through the trouble of thinking so much last night I learned that I need to go back to that hospital in Russia and talk to the doctor. Because I think he may of been lying to us....so I think we should all go back there together so we all know what's going on," you spoke your mind in a professional manor. "But I have to talk to Ivan first, which might take a while because of yesterday. I'm not looking forward to it but I have to fix this somehow. America is he in your room?"

"Not sure but you can go ahead and check. Be careful though he's not in the best of moods. But I wish you luck with him," you could tell just how bad it was by the change in his tone of voice.

"Oh yeah one more thing...Italy and Romano Rome wanted me to tell you he said hello," you slightly smiled before proceeding up the stairs. 'Oh god please don't kill me Ivan...'

You could hear a quiet voice of Italy's talking about Rome as you approached the door to America's room where a very depressed Russian resided. You took hold of the doorknob as cautiously as you could and twisted it, pushing the door open and entering the room. You shut the door behind you but didn't lock it just incase you had to make an escape. You saw the man you were looking for sitting on the edge of the bed with his back facing you. You distanced yourself 5 feet from him before finally saying a word.

"I-Ivan? I want to talk to you about something...it's important," you but your lip and hung your head nervously.

"Don't call me that anymore....I don't want to talk to you," he didn't even move once. Not even just a little.

"You have to listen....you're not a stranger to me anymore. I remember everything that happened between us even before what happened two days ago," you began to explain yourself. "Please just give me a chance."

No answer. This just made you want to punch something. You needed him to understand that you're back to normal because it was still painful hearing this from him. You walked the rest of the way over to him.

"Ivan listen to me! I'm not some clueless person who doesn't have feelings for you anymore. I feel just as bad as you do about this! I don't want to do this the hard way, okay?!" you balled your hands up in fists.

He still refused to talk to you. You grunted and couldn't control part of your anger.

"Ivan you're going to listen whether you want to or not," you instantly grabbed his scarf with both hands and regretted all of what you just said and done. You braced for something bad to happen.

Uncontrollably Ivan brought a fist up and aimed it directly at your face and you squinted your eyes knowing there was no avoiding impact. After five seconds you wondered what why there was no pain on your face. You released your hands and reopened your eyes, seeing a fist just floating a few centimeters from your jaw.

"I won't hit you, but I'll ask you nicely to leave or there'll be consequences...." you could almost hear the anger is his voice. You could tell he really didn't want to let his fist touch you.

"Good. Punish me. I deserve it, all of it. Take out all your anger on me. Go ahead, I just wanted to ask if you would be okay with me going to hang out with Prussia," you taunted with sarcasm. "Come at me bro." It was sad how you acting kind of like a jerk to him right now.

His aura grew even darker around him and he stood up. You just now saw his pipe in his other hand. 'Oh what have I gotten myself into? Fuck....' You took a step back. 'I really shouldn't have done that...'

"You probably forgot who you're talking to, da? I'd be happy to show you the way out!" his childish grin grew upon his face.

You couldn't take defeat so you forced yourself to stand your ground. 'Keep it together ________. You probably just screwed yourself but losing is not an option.'

"And if I don't want to leave?" you smirked.

"You can stay, but you should know I'm very good with teaching those who disobey a lesson," he walked towards you.

You gulped. 'Wait I can stop this!' You took a fighting stance anyways. "And I'm very good at quoting. Please do care to listen." You cleared your throat and made a taunting signal to him with your hand. Your brain was screaming at you to stop this as soon as possible.

Ivan's made a sarcastic laugh. "Huhu, sure. But I don't know what good that is to you. How about I make this a little more fair for you?" He put his pipe down and then immediately swung his fist at you.

'OH GOD WHY...?' You caught his fist in your hand, figuring you would most likely have it broken into pieces. But it didn't hurt that much so you just smiled. "Let's see what should I start with? Aha here's a good one! 'Oh good....you look like someone who could help me.'"

It didn't seem to affect him at all. You thought that maybe the first thing you've ever said to him would ring a bell but apparently it didn't. He continued to take out his anger with you just dodging his incoming fists of fury. You couldn't bring yourself to attack the man whom you wanted so desperately to love you again.

"Okay, how about this one? 'I'm so sorry Ivan! You've had such a hard childhood!'" it was as if you were trying to get him to remember the past. "Or maybe even 'I love you'?"

You pulled out a sunflower from your pocket and held it to your chest, closing your eyes sadly. You hoped that this would make him remember the day you told him you loved him. You were even risking getting yourself injured. As you waited for the collision you said one last thing. "Я так тебя люблю."

There was a silence and rememberence filled the room. It was as if everything froze on the dot and not even time was passing by. You opened your eyes slowly and gazed at Ivan's motionless body. He stood sadly in front of you, remembering everything that he's done with you. A small tear waiting in his right eye. He looked at you with a certain expression, like a silent apology for not believing you.

"You really do remember everything...." Ivan sounded like he couldn't forgive himself anymore for attacking you. But then again it was you who provoked him by mentioning Prussia and not leaving him alone.

"Thank you for listening Ivan," you smiled and gave him the biggest hug in the world. 'Heh, I never thought this would work...' you felt him wrap his arms around your waist, and the feeling you got from it was probably the only thing that could take away the pain you were feeling before. "I think you deserve a better reward for this." And with that said you leaned up and kissed him on the lips without holding back.

You were so happy that everything worked out okay, and happier to know that he still loved you after all this trouble. The kiss lasted for maybe five minutes before you stopped, and you were unable to keep yourself from smiling.

"Now can we talk like civilized people?" you removed yourself from his grasp and sat down on the edge of the table.

"If you can tell me how your hand is so tough then yes, we can," he joked and sat alongside you.

"That will all be explained when everyone is together. I learned a lot about myself last night," you held his hand in yours. "So, obviously I remembered like everything, and I also would like you to take me back to the hospital in Russia. I'd like to talk to the doctor because I believe he lied to us. On the bright side of things, I'm happy to tell you that there's no way I'm going to die in two days. It's not possible."

"How do you know that for sure? And of course I'll take you," he nodded. "Is that all?"

"When I got my memories back...it was through my dreams. Everything, all the things that happened in my life played back in my head like a movie. Even things that happened when I was just a baby. I also learned some extra things along the way. But when I woke up I didn't even realize all my memories were back until I found America," it was exciting to tell him about what you experienced. "You'll find out what they are soon. Let's go downstairs with the others."

You both got up and walked down the stairs hand in hand. Everything seemed like it changed direction and would continue to go uphill from there. The others seem shocked to see that you actually came out of there alive and managed to break Ivan out of his depression. You were very anxious to spill your guts out about what you learned about yourself.

"You didn't destroy my room right?" America looked at you seriously.

"Not one thing was damaged," you assured him. "Now everyone listen up. I learned something about myself that will blow your minds. Are you ready to hear it?"
