Toris shook his head and wrapped his arms around the middle Baltic brother, interrupting his struggles to find the words.
"Don't worry about it Eduard. I know. I...I'm not sure if I wouldn't be angry too, if it had been me in your position..." he murmured softly. He sighed deeply and hugged him for a moment before backing away and looking downward, not meeting his brother's gaze.

I'm sorry for lying and not getting any more up when I said I would, guys. D: And then when I do update it's a little sucky .5 part. D: Writer's Block is hitting me hard on this one. I'm going to try and finish this well, though.

So, anons. That might be what's going to happen. :D Just thought I'd let you all know. I will try and get it written and up today, though it might take until tomorrow. I'm working on another fill right now too.

Eduard too was consumed with guilt. How could he blame his brother for getting out of here? He would have taken the opportunity too, had it been presented to him instead of Toris. He would have taken it in a heartbeat. So why was he so irrationally angry at Toris? He didn't want to be. But he just couldn't help it. And he felt terrible about it.
Raivis was just glad to have his brother back. Eduard was wonderful and all, but...Toris had always been the 'big brother'. He was better at it. He knew how to make Raivis feel safe and protected, even in such a place as this. It was a talent Eduard did not posses, try though he might. Toris's comfort might be only an illusion, but it was a comforting illusion, and it was something he could take solace in. No matter what else changed, no matter what terrible things happened, he could always count on Toris to make him feel better. Not having him here to do that had been...well, it had been like something was missing. And now that missing peace of his life was back in place, and he couldn't help but feel a bit better for it, though it made him feel bad that he was glad his brother was back in this hellhole.
[[Sorry for more crappy little parts. I'll get a full, large part up next time, I promise. :) ]]

"Toris~" called Ivan in his deceptively easy-going, cheerful voice. "I see you've gotten reacquainted with Eduard and Raivis." He stepped fully into the room and grinned brightly at the Baltics. Toris stood frozen for a moment, then nodded slowly.
"Y-Yes, sir..." he murmured quietly, eyes downcast.
Ivan smiled. "That is good. We are all glad to have you back, Toris," he informed the Lithuanian knowingly. "The house has just not been the same since you left us." He paused for a moment, looking deep in thought. "Toris..." he began slowly, sounding upset and hurt. "Why did you do that?" It was a simple sounding question, but Toris wasn't stupid. He knew how important it was, and what kind of repercussions it could have if he gave the wrong answer. It sometimes seemed that that was the worst thing about living in the Russian's house. Not only was it physically damaging, the mental aspect was just as scarring. You had to be constantly on your guard...constantly alert, because one slip-up...one wrong move, wrong word...and it all would fall apart. The effort it took to keep this up was so tiring...sometimes Toris felt like just giving up, just saying what he wanted to Ivan and the consequences be damned.
But these momentary flashes of insanity would pass, as they always did, and luckily, they always passed before he did something stupid, something he would no doubt regret in the long run. He wasn't too worried about himself, anymore. He'd taken the brunt of the Russian's punishments for so long he could almost turn his mind off...drown out the pain...
But what if Ivan targeted Eduard or Raivis instead? Or the Lithuanian people? Toris didn't know what he'd do if his brothers or his people got hurt because of something stupid he did. He could never risk it. It was something he'd worried about often while in America, and it seemed his suspicions had been proven correct. Ivan's wrath had been taken out on his brothers.
"I..." he paused, trying frantically to figure out what to say, how to say it, what way would garner the least pain for him or his brothers. "It...sir...I-"
"No, Toris..." said the Russian smoothly, cutting him off. "Do not make up stories, or tilt the facts to appeal to me. I know why you left, Toris...do not lie to me. I always know, Toris...you knew that once. I wonder what else you have forgotten while living under that pig?" he said scathingly.
Toris flinched and kept his gaze to the ground. He hated hearing America referred to like that. He respected him greatly. But he knew better than to dispute it. America wasn't here now; he couldn't protect him. He couldn't protect any of them.
"S-Sir, I...I haven't...I haven't forgotten. I haven't forgotten anything..." the Lithuanian assured Ivan quietly.
The Russian's smile grew brighter and more menacing.
"That is good then, comrade Toris!" he exclaimed happily. "I am glad to hear it. I wish I could take you at your word, Toris...there was a time when I could...but..." his voice grew grieved and regretful, "Now that your mind has been tainted...who knows what sort of lies you will tell? Alfred's tendency to lie about every little thing may have rubbed off on you...there is no way to know if you remember all my lessons..."
He stepped over to Toris, making the Lithuanian want to start shaking like Raivis was doing at this very moment.
"The only way for me to be sure..." whispered the Russian, placing his hands on Toris's shoulders and leaning in to whisper in his ear. "Is to reteach them to you...one...by...one..."
