If there is a Hell 2/5

Russia/Prussia, probably a light R rating.
Russia brings home Prussia as his new enclave Kaliningrad Oblast. The Baltic countries don't know what to think.

Lithuania remembers Prussia because he assumes it will be his mess from now on, just like everything else in the house. He leaves Prussia behind and goes to clean the kitchen, hoping he will be more subdued when he is finished. His face hurts where Prussia hit him. Serves Prussia right if he is uncomfortable and hungry for a while.

*

Lithuania actually likes the kitchen, he is usually left alone and he enjoys cooking and planning meals. Cleaning up afterward is the boring part. He takes his time and puts the leftovers on a plate for Prussia. When he almost is done he hears noise outside. He wonders if Prussia managed to get free on his own and goes to check it out.

The sounds aren't coming from 'Kaliningrad'. Lithuania stares in horror at the scene in the dining room. Russia is almost sitting in Prussia's lap, kissing his neck and face
.
“I like you much more when you are quiet,” Russia says and kisses Prussia again, over the gag. He strokes the captured nation's hair with one hand. Lithuania notices that Prussia's pants are unbuttoned and that is where Russia's other hand is. Shit.

Lithuania retreats quietly back into the kitchen. If Russia sees him the chances are that he tells him to join in. There is a certain appeal in that thought, some revenge for the Commonwealth, for what his brother did that Prussia probably had part in. Not to mention the prospect of not being on the bottom all the time, for once dominate someone else instead of being dominated... Lithuania stops his trail of thoughts, forcing himself to remember what he would feel if he was in Prussia's situation. It works, he is no longer turned on. He is not like Russia, he will never be like Russia...

*

Russia does know he is around. Lithuania tries to stay very quiet and jumps when he hears the door open.

“Take care of Kaliningrad for me,” Russia says. He is in an incredibly good mood. “He's still tied up, did you forget all about him?”

“I'm sorry,” Lithuania mumbles. Russia ignores him and leaves for some official business outside the house.

Usually that mean everyone can relax. But not today. Lithuania braces himself for dealing with Prussia. The nation looks pathetic, incredibly pale with a glazed expression. Lithuania unties him without a word. Prussia's wrists are red and bleeding in places. He blushes furiously and gets on his feet so fast that he almost loses balance.

“I-I think I'm going to change cloths,” Prussia says, less forcefully than usual. “I'm tired of this uniform, you all wear civil outfits!”

Sure, that is why he wants other cloths.

“I have some breakfast left for you when you are done,” Lithuania says.

*

Not unexpectedly Prussia complains about the food being cold. Lithuania just ignores it. He didn't expect to actually start feel sorry for the former kingdom. Not after what he did to Poland when the Commonwealth was partitioned. At that point Prussia was on equal footing with Russia. How times have changed...

Lithuania knows how to comfort Latvia and Estonia after Russia has beaten them but he doesn't know what to do with Prussia who pretends nothing is wrong. Deep down he almost feels happy about the idea of having Prussia take half of the abuse the other Baltics never have to experience. He does not like that side of himself and makes a silent promise to be nice to Prussia from now on.

*

It's not easy to fit Prussia into their daily routines. Lithuania is in charge, handing out the tasks that needs to be done for the day. The promise to be nice to Prussia is tested to the limit when Prussia refuses to do chores.

“I am not some constituent,” Prussia protests. “I am Kaliningrad Oblast and I am one with Russia! You wouldn't tell Russia to clean dirty floors, would you?”

“You have nothing better to do either way,” Estonia says and Lithuania interrupts before the yelling can start again.

“If you are one with Russia you can care of the snow shoveling outside, the cold shouldn't bother you.” Lithuania feels a bit mean but it seems to work.

“Alright,” Prussia hesitantly says. “I like it best when I'm alone anyway.”

*

“Why did Russia had to drag him here,” Latvia mutters when Prussia has gone outside to perform the only chore he agreed to. The three Baltics are scrubbing the floor together, they all hate doing it and if they help each other out it is finished quickly. “We should at least have him doing this.”

“I agree,” Estonia says. “He has to do what you tell him, right? You can beat him alone and he doesn't stand a chance against all three of us.”

“I don't want to fight,” Lithuania says. How he hates this floor, why can't Russia at least try to get the snow and dirt from his shoes before he comes inside? “It's pointless and Prussia is worse off than us anyway.”

“Right,” Latvia says and rolls his eyes.

“We are still countries,” Lithuania says. He feels it is very important that the others remember this. “We still have our lands and our people, even if Russia has forced his names and culture upon us they are still ours. Prussia is not even a nation anymore, he's just an enclave. He doesn't have his own people and everyone want Prussia gone forever. We should try to be nice to him.”

Latvia grumbles but in the end they both agrees to at least try.

*

Lithuania is never worried about his own survival. Russia likes him and he sort of likes Latvia and Estonia too, no matter how dysfunctional Russia is at showing liking. What keeps Lithuania awake at night is worry over how much damage Russia's boss can do to his country and what a nightmare Russia himself can make Lithuania's daily life is he is not kept happy. But he is not afraid of being dissolved and completely absorbed into the Soviet Union. It will never happen to the Baltics or Russia's sisters. Georgia and the others on the other hand have every reason in the world to worry since Russia doesn't particularly like them and would absorb them without a second thought if his boss thought it was a good idea. They might be happy they don't have to live with Russia but Lithuania feels safer when he is physically close to the country that owns him. Now he can stop or at least damper the worst paranoia and insanity.

Prussia should be even more worried. He got the name Kaliningrad on a whim of Russia's boss and his existence hinges on their mercy.

*

Lithuania is busy with dinner and doesn't think more about Prussia. Not until Latvia, Estonia and Russia join him to eat he notices that one person is missing.

“Where is Kaliningrad?” Russia wonders.

Latvia and Estonia exchanges a nervous glance. Lithuania is a bit disappointed with them. He dealt with Prussia all morning, couldn't they at least keep an eye on him while he was making this excellent dinner for them?

“The last time I saw him he was outside,” Lithuania says since no one is helping him out. “I have been busy in the kitchen.”

“Yes, you make very tasty food Liet. I will go and check where my Kaliningrad has gone myself. But you two should try to be more useful.”

Estonia gulps and Latvia whimpers. Russia seems amused by their reaction and tells Lithuania to keep the food warm a bit longer.

*

When Russia comes inside again he has an immobile Prussia in his arms. Prussia is not even wearing a jacket and he has ice crystals in his hair. If he was human he probably would have frozen to death.

“Why are you not more careful?” Russia asks his unconscious enclave.
