You Are My Pain Killer

♕Chapter 24: Canada♕

      I’m waiting outside of Ukraine's front door, nervous and completely overjoyed. I had just recently asked Ukraine out to prom and I was so happy to hear him say yes. I bought a bouquet of colourful flowers for him before I arrived. I hope he likes them. I hear the door click and there’s Russia looking down at me like he's glaring at me. I see Belarus pop out beside him and then she squeals.
     “Ukraine~!” She shouts. 
     “Coming!” I hear. And there he is in a dark purple coat, a black vest, black dress pants, and a black bow tie. He looks like a model. Belarus shoves him out and closes the door. His face flushed a bright pink as he looked me up and down. 
      “Hi…!” I breathe.
      “Hi!” He holds himself and glances at the floor.
     “Oh! Uh, here this is for you.” I say giving him the flowers and biting my lip. He takes them beaming. 
     “Thanks, Canada!”. We head into the Uber I drove to their house in and we drive off to school. When We arrive I hop out of the car and open Ukraine's side so he can get out.
      We walk inside to see people dancing, somebody trying to put alcohol in the punch bowl, and a few people doing karaoke.
      I hold my hand out and smile down at Ukraine. He smiles and accepts my offer. I pull him onto the dance floor and I hold onto his waist and pull him close as he puts his arms over my shoulders.
     “You look really nice!” I compliment cheerfully. 
     “Thanks, you look cute too!” He squeaks. His flower crown falls down onto his eyes and I pick it back up for him. He smiles, showing his teeth.
       We dance for at least an hour before it gets a little too crowded.
     "It's getting a bit stuffy in here, wanna go outside?" I motion to the doors in the back of the room.
     "Yeah, it is getting a little crowded."  He agrees. I lead him to a bench for two not too far from the gym doors and sit down. He lays his head on my shoulder and sighs. I look down at him and kiss the top of his head then put my arm around his shoulder. 
      He looks back up at me, biting his lip and looking from my eyes to my lips. I pull him a little closer. His cheeks tinted pink as his lips parted.  I could hear my heartbeat in my ears as we leaned in. I drown out every single noise from the gym and the road. I could only hear us breathing.
     I kiss him. His lips were soft. Soft like biting into cotton candy, or like the first snowfall. I part still wanting more. He smiles so wide it almost as if it's gonna touch his flower crown. I've wanted to do that for so long. I take his hands in mine and intertwine our fingers.
      We look into each others eyes, still inches away from kissing again. Our foreheads pressed together. I trace over his lips with my thumb. He leans in again and pulls me close and kisses me this time. It's like he pulled all the pain out from inside of me.
     We parted again, my eyes still closed and fixed on the kiss.
     "Your lips are so soft..." I whisper opening my eyes. He huffs. I felt a heavyweight from all that sadness and confusion lift from my back. I hold him close for a while longer not wanting to leave.
      "We should get going..." Ukraine says softly.
     "Yeah..." I pull him up and hand him his bouquet. We take our time calling an Uber and waiting. The ride back was quiet. I take Ukraine's hand and help him out of the car. I thank the driver and shut the door.
      I walk Ukraine to his front door reluctantly.
     He smiles up at me and kisses my forehead when he steps on his porch.
     "Thank you.".
     "Yeah... Goodnight" I said lowly. He walks inside with one last wave and a warm smile. I spin on my heels and go back home.
     "So?!" I get tackled by America.
     "Oh hey Ame!" I lift my hat up smiling. "We kissed-" I say quickly.
    "Oh my god!" America squeals. I snort laughing as he falls on the floor with tears in his eyes.
     "Okay! I'm gonna go to bed," I walk to my room as America squeals.
     I sigh as I lay down on my bed. How am I gonna sleep...? I smile as I turn to look out of my window. He's so cute! I can't wait to see him again.
      A long while later I fall asleep thinking about Ukraine.

~***~

I

sigh opening my blinds tiredly. It's like one in the afternoon. I hear a soft knock on my door.
     "Come in!" I call.
     "Hey, I made you lunch." America sets it down on my nightstand.
     "Thanks, Ame" I sit down on my bed and put the plate in my lap.
     "Russia's over by the way. We've been keeping quiet." He points at the stairs.
     "Thanks!" I say taking a mouthful of food. He shuts my door and walks away. I finish my plate as fast as possible and text Ukraine.
                                 Hey! How'd ya sleep?
Great! I haven't gotten this much sleep in a long time! Hbu?
                                It was good!  Can you
                                call me?
Yeah sure!

Ukraine and I talk for hours, laughing,  being awkward, and blushing. I felt sad when he had to hang up but we'd get to talk tomorrow on Monday. I go downstairs to see the most cutest thing ever. Russia and America cuddling in the couch sleeping. I take a picture and send it to Ukraine. Cute!
      I tiptoe to the kitchen and find some random leftovers and heat them up, being careful not to wake the two love birds up. I look at the picture again and suppress a squeal. I run upstairs after dropping my plate into the sink. I cuck my self onto my bed and lay there for a while on my phone.
      Ame's gonna be sooo flustered when he wakes up! I smirk. Just wait till ya have to explain. I listen carefully for a door to close. When I do hear a door close I rush to the top of the stairs and wait for him to start walking up.
     "How'd ya lovebirds sleep?" I ask crossing my arms. He stops and looks up at me all flusterd.
