        Time passed slowly in the room of grey. There seemed to be absolutely nothing that could entertain me other then staring at the ceiling. The Baltics weren't allowed to visit (With the expecting of Toris but that was only for medical reason and to feed me.) which was part of Russia's supposed of 'punishment'. It had been a week? I think it had since I woke up. Ivan would occasionally come down before heading off to bed to speak of his day and then murmur a goodnight in his native language. Sometimes he was happy, sometimes sad and sometimes even angry. Even though speaking of one's day would typically sound pointless I found Ivan's to be entertaining. It interested me to hear how this man saw the world plus well... There was nothing else to do either.

          The sounds of boots clinking against the wooden floor called as the descend from the stairs. I knew it was Russia just by the heaviness in step. "Oh hey Ivan," I called desperate for entertainment. His figured appeared as he reached the final step. The man smiled a greeting "Privet little one. I have much to talk about today." I shifted my body so I was sitting up. I always found it awkward to be laying down when other people were around. The platinum-ette unfolded a chair and brought it beside me. The nation smiled a happy grin once he got settled. Though even after that whole incident that occured when I woke up he seemed better. The male folded his hands in his lap. "Yes, yes so much to talk about. Well to start off Big sister and little sister came to visit me this morning. Katyusha was so happy to see me, it had been awhile since she was always so busy figuring out her country's money issues. It's been decades now..." He started to sweat dropped "She even started crying again. I swear she is such a cry baby but I still love her for that." The Russian smiled. Then his brow twitched with irritation. "Natalia on the other hand... She loves me too much." He shock his head ridden the thought. "Overall though we had a fun time together. It really was nice to see both of them. I wish we could do things like that more often. Now what else happened..." Tapping a finger against his pudgy pink cheeks looking up while thinking. "Ah! But first," his violet orbs shifted to me "How are your wounds?" The sudden direction of conversation made my cheeks redden. "Well they seem to be just about all healed to be honest, no more pains." I grinned to have the Russian smiled back in return. "I see well I am very happy to hear that. I only put you here so you can focus on healing which seems to have work." He murmured continuing alittle reluctant to finish "So after tonight you will be able to go back to your normal room." This took me by surprise "Really? You mean it?!" A slow nod was the reply I was given. "Thank you Ivan!" He looked up at me with a weak smile. "It is nothing little one. Now on with my day."

         He talked about how there was suppose to be a world conference though it had got canceled however Ivan wasn't aware of that. By the time he was informed the Russian was aways from home. On his journey back Russia stumbled across a sunflower patch. The nation talked of his love for sunflowers with sparkling violet eyes. He mentioned his dream to grow a field of his own however the Russian soil wasn't able support to flower's life. Then the conversation shifted over to the Baltics and how Latvia almost fell on his face tripping his own two feet. Ivan started to laughing, it rattled through his giant frame. I never heard him laugh that hard or long but it was nice.

        "Well," he slowly lifted his towering body from the chair folding it back. "It is about time I head out to bed," The platinum-ette made his way to the stairs. "

спокойной ночи " the words came out perfectly in his original language before he ascending them. "Ivan wait!" The steps stopped. "If you're worried that I won't want to listen about your day just cause I won't be stuck down here, don't be.  I still want to hear them... Everyday in fact." I heard his steps slowly come down, now I was able to see him. "You mean that?" I smiled at him "Why else would I say it." Happiness spread across his face as he grinned with his eyes close. His nose sticking out with his pink cheeks. This was true joy not the fake smile he normally wore. "That means alot to me little one. You know what, how about tomorrow I take you somewhere. I am sure you are sick of being cooped up in the house, Da?" My face shifted to a state of astonishment. "Yes I would love to." The Russian chuckled "Okay. Well спокойной ночи." Nodding "Good night." Then he walked up the stairs leaving me be.

        My mind thought back to his smile when he heard about me wanting to still hear of his day. His platinum hair shining, round cheeks damped with blush. The Russian distinct nose poked out and his eyes closed. He could look so innocent.... I thought on He looked so cute. Instantly my faces redden. WHAT AM I DOING!!! WHAT AM I THINKING ABOUT!! I grabbed my head in embarassment. Bed!! I need to go to bed!! Within seconds I turned off the lights and slammed my head against my pillow. I closed my eyes and Ivan's face appeared again. WHAT IS THIS!!!  Pulling the pillow over my head. This was gonna be a long night.
