"I'm just another little pawn for you to play with, is that what you're getting at?"
Russia laughed to himself and shook his head before casting a patronizing look at America, like the look a Mother might give her child after they've asked if the moon is truly made of cheese. "You are not a simple pawn, America. You're one of the strongest countries there are, the king of the world, one might say. And as for the King in chess, his value is limitless."
America blushed at Russia's words. To think himself a king, a ruler, was something he had only indulged in during his childhood bath times, waging war with toy boats and a soapsud army. But there was no denying that deep down, in the spot behind his heart where all his secrets slept, he liked the idea.
"Let me guess, you want to tag team it up and rule the world?" America supplied, struggling to keep his words from becoming drunken and disjointed slurs.
Russia thoughtfully tapped his chin. "In a sense, yes. But perhaps not in the way you're considering it. As you have previously mentioned, the king is at the top of the food chain, but only when it comes to the board. You must remember that in actuality, it is the player who calls the shots."
America rubbed his eyes, as if to make the situation clearer. "And you're the player?"
"Exactly," Russia chirped, clapping his hands together once. "While the other pieces don't trust me enough to listen to my orders, they'll listen to their King."
"What makes you think their 'King' is going to listen to you?"
"That's the beauty of it all, America," Russia said as he stood, wrapping around himself in a self-assured embrace.. "Even if you don't want to dance, I am the one pulling the strings."
---- A/N: -This chapter feels really clunky to me, but I can't put my finger on why. -For the instrumental input I asked for in the last chapter, the winner was the cello, so you can expect it to show up in an upcoming part. -The fate of the crossword puzzle book will be answered! I must admit it is rather devious. -Pairing wise, Russia/America will start happening in the next chapter. -Constructive criticism is always welcome! ♥ -I think there may not be an update next week, sadly. There definitely will be one in two weeks, but my beta-er won't be able to beta next week, so. . . we'll see!

Didn't find this fill in time to give my input, but the one I wanted won anyway. XD Cello~~
The way you write Russia is very close to my headcanon!Russia. There fore, I love him, even if he does scare the hell outta me on occasion.
It's kinda funny that you update on Wednesday. I have a friend who I beta for who does the same thing. XD Obviously, you are not her, but it's still funny.
