Renegotiating Dreams Chapter One

    Russia drummed his fingers on the meeting table impatiently. The meeting still had not started due to several nations still being missing. Among them were America, England, and Turkey. No sooner had Russia listed off the missing nations in his head, that the meeting doors burst open.

"Ahaha! The hero has arrived" A loud obnoxious voice called from the doorway.

   "Shut up you obnoxious Git!" called a second voice. Russia tilted his head to look at the doorway. There stood a positively beaming America, and right behind him, a rather irate looking England with his arms crossed. England walked over to Germany and apologized for their lateness, mentioning something about abominable driving skills. America simply kept grinning and went to sit down.

   "Well that's everyone accounted for except for Turkey....." Germany began walking to the front of the meeting table. "... And if no one has seen him?" He said gazing around the table prompting several headshakes and shrugs from the gathered nations. " Then I guess we will have to start without him." Germany reached for his briefcase to begin when a loud voice made him stop.

   "Hey, Hey, Hey Don't go starting without me!" Russia turned his head curiously, and crawling in through the window was a masked man in a green hoodie.

    "Oh right, Turkey," Russia thought to himself. He hadn't had that much contact with the Nation's representative himself since World War One, but He knew that his Boss and Turkey's boss were trying to keep things peaceful. He'd only ever really viewed the nation as an annoying obstacle to him getting a warm water port. Ah, It seemed at times as if the whole world was against his dream of living in a warm place. He snapped the pencil he was holding. No, it really wasn't fair at all.

    Lithuania was leaning as far away from Russia as he could. "Just my luck" he thought. "First I get seated next to Russia and now something has set him off." He couldn't really lean away any further without falling out of his seat but Russia had just snapped his pencil and was now smiling rather eerily. Lithuania wasn't sure what had caused it, but now Russia was in a foul mood, and there was still an empty seat next to the intimidating northern nation. Lithuania pitied Turkey, it was the only seat left.

   Turkey was in a bit of a foul mood, stupid taxi driver didn't want to drive him all the way to the meeting place, and then somebody had locked the front door behind them. He had to crawl in through the window like a burgler or something, and now the only seat left open was next to Russia. Brilliant, He knew his boss wanted him to keep things amicable between them, but the creepy bastard had only ever attacked him or been just generally a jerk in the past. He never could get what was up with the kid, whenever they were fighting he would seem so desperate. There was no real reason for him to be that desperate, his country wasn't in danger, so it must've been for something that Russia himself wanted. Turkey sat down warily in the seat next to Russia as Germany began presenting. Hopefully the guy would keep to himself.

   Russia glanced at Turkey as the hooded man sat down next to him. He was still wearing that ridiculous mask. "Just another obstacle...." Thought Russia. Although now he wasn't, no one was an obstacle anymore. Russia's dream probably would never be realized, he had already pretty much accepted that. He looked at Turkey again, So his boss wanted him to keep relations steady with this guy huh? He guessed it didn't really matter, it was pointless getting upset about past events. He drummed his fingers on the table, after all he could be a good way to kill boredom. He looked at Turkey again wondering vaguely what was the point of the mask. Yes, a very good way to kill boredom.

    Sitting next to Russia tended to give one a creepy and forboding feeling. Turkey tried to focus on Germany's report about Europe's declining economy, but unfortunately it was rather boring and most of the nations were either nodding off or bothering their neighbors. Although now he had gotten himself curious about the reason Russia had seemed so serious in their fights. It wasn't like most of his other fights with European nations, where Turkey could just enjoy the fight. The northern nation would hardly ever say a word in reply to his taunts which, from what he had heard from others who had fought Russia, this was unusual. He glanced at Russia for a second only to regret it as they made eye contact. Russia just smiled creepily at him and looked back up to the head of the table. Turkey blinked once or twice, well that was weird.

   Russia stood up at the end of the meeting. It had gone rather slowly as Germany had dragged on for quite a while. He walked out into the hallway and noticed Turkey was right behind him. Well, he had been getting bored of following Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia around, and China just wasn't as much fun to stalk now as he used to be. Perhaps Turkey could be a good target. He turned around "So Turkey, did you find the meeting to be productive?"

   He hadn't been expecting that. Russia had apparently just decided to talk to him out of the blue. Not only that, he had asked him a question. "Hm? Yeah, though I kinda felt like my ears were gonna fall off." He replied quickly. Russia giggled, well if that wasn't the creepiest sound he'd ever heard, he didn't know what was.

   "Da, Germany can tend to get a bit lengthy with his speech, it sometimes gets.....annoying" The Russian responded. Turkey stared at him for a second, maybe it was the fact that he was talking to him at all, maybe it was how much the last part of that sentence had sounded like a threat, but Turkey was not sure how to respond.

   So instead he just shrugged and said "Yeah, whatever, most meetings either end up really dull or turn into a madhouse."

   Ah He'd confused him, Russia felt almost smug. He nodded at Turkey still smiling and walked away. It was fun having a new target to bother. Turkey had always sort of intrigued him, so he was looking forward to later, when Turkey would be unawares and Russia could do what he did best. Turkey was slightly confused but shrugged off the incident. He was looking forward to going home, it'd been a weird morning.
