It was 1917. The Great War had been going on for at least three years now ... but still, the world had never such bloodshed before ... it was such needless a waste of human life ... but the countries were too stubborn to see it. You had been dragged along to the meeting by none other than Francis ... Arthur wouldn't have forced you to go ... he was a true gentleman. The main reason you went was because Ivan was part of the movement. But when you got there, a guy with glasses was in Ivan's chair
"Wh-where's Ivan? Who's this guy?" You asked
"This is America ... we're trying to convince him to help us" Arthur said
America just nodded at you with a serious expression on his face
"Alfred is fine" He said
You nodded. But you couldn't ignore your dear friend's absence
"A-and Ivan?" You asked
"He never turned up ... and he's not answering our telegrams" Francis said
"You check on him, I'm sure he just overslept or something" Arthur said
"What, didn't you hear? Russia's in an uproar! There's a civil war going on" Alfred said
You gasped
A ... a civil War?! Oh no ... he could be hurt! You thought, frightened
You ran out of the room despite what you just heard
"Wait! Don't go, it's too dangerous!" Arthur called after you
But you were too concerned for Ivan's safety to listen ...

"I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself"

You knocked on Ivan's front door
"Ivan? Are you alright?" You called
No answer. You were becoming increasingly worried ... then, Yekaterina opened the door and looked at you with a smile
"It's good to see you! Have you seen Ivan?" She asked
You gasped
"He's not here?" You asked
"No ... he's not ... he hasn't been home all night" She said, sounding troubled
"All night?!" You said, shocked
"Yes ... he heard that someone was going to kill the Tsar ... I just hope he's safe" She said, looking at the floor
"Don't worry, I'll find him!" You said
"B-but you could get killed!" She protested
"I have to something! He could be hurt" You said "Now, tell me where he is"

"So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
(This animal, this animal)"

You came to a halt when you saw Ivan walking towards you. He looked ... broken. He was clinging tightly onto his jacket and his face carried a horrified expression. He was covered head to toe in blood ... even his hair
"Ivan?" You said, concerned
"S-stay away ..." He mumbled, standing still
"Not when you need me" You said
"Don't come any closer!" He said, just as you were about to step forward
"Ivan, what's wrong?" You asked
He just stared at you his horrified expression turned to one that looked like he was being tortured
"Blood ... all over the walls ... I couldn't save them ..." He mumbled, starting to shake
I have to help ... his mind is clearly unstable You thought
"Ivan ... let me take you home. Your sister is worried" You said
"No ... no one must come near me" He mumbled
You noticed he was hiding something behind his back ... and you became frightened
"Because you see ..." He took out a lead pipe, which was covered in blood "I'm a monster" He hissed
"Ivan, you're not a monster. Your a sweet, kind and loving man. And that's why ... I love you ... I ... always have" You said, blushing
He dropped the pipe in surprise. He began to cry as he ran up to you and hugged you
"(Name) ..." He mumbled
"It's alright, Ivan ... I'll help you get through this ..." You said in a quiet tone

-

"I can't escape myself
(I can't escape myself)
So many times I've lied
(So many times I've lied)
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself"

When you brought Ivan back to his house, it was empty. His sister must have gone home. You helped him get clean, but even with a new change of clothes and a bath ... he kept rocking back and forth when you sat on the sofa together. He kept mumbling "Still not clean" over and over again. You knew that his mind was now very fragile ... when the phone rang, he screamed in terror
"It's alright, Ivan ... I'll handle this" You said
Ivan held you close. His grip was very strong ... and his arms were very warm. You answered the phone
"Hello?" You said
"Hey, (Name). Good to hear you're still alive. How's Russia?"
"Well ... he's a bit ... delicate, right now. But I'll take care of him" You said
You hung up and looked at the now very clingy Ivan. He kissed you on the nose and you smiled. You knew what he was trying to say ...
"I love you too, Ivan. Here, I got you something" You said
You took a small badge out of your pocket. It was a sunflower. You attached it to his clean scarf and smiled
"I heard you liked them" You said
He kissed your nose again
"You know ... when I'm sad ... I try to think of something happy to cheer myself up" You said, smiling
His blank expression twitched. And a small smile formed on his face
"There you go! A smile suits you better" You said
But deep down, you knew that his mental scars were never going to heal ... he was a broken man ... and you were determined to stay with him, no matter how this day affected him. You knew the others would never understand ... and they would most likely be scared ...

Of the New Russia ...

The End
:iconswiftninja91:
A somewhat darker toned story. Russia doesn't turn up for the meeting to discuss how to kick the German's butts ... so they get You to check on him

I put the Ideologically Sensitive thing on ... because it's a sensitive subject ... and so it should be ...

Song Used - Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace

"So what if you can see the darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal"
