Whoa, intense. Hell the whole damn Cold War was friggin' intense.

But, something did change in Russia didn't it? The atmosphere was strange towards the end. I'm pretty much with America on - OH. OHH. I guess Russia understand something different when America said his arm was tired. So, the "I imagine I'll see you soon" was.. "I'll see you soon but in Cuba." Right? Probably not but I'm just trying to understand the whole "missing something"... Hmm.

Anyway, amazing writing yet again. And you girls have pretty much made my night. :)

I guess Russia understand something different when America said his arm was tired.

Very nice catch. That's going to be important over the next couple chapters (as in: Cuba). So, no spoilers, but--yeah, Russia had a very different reaction to that than America intended.

So glad you enjoyed it, thank you for reading! =D

YES! I knew it had something to do with that because I think Russia thought America was being inconsiderate or something. I don't know. It seems to me like he was really upset by something. I mean, here he is trying to uphold his beliefs or something, pointing a gun at the person he loves, only this close to almost killing each other, and killing everyone else for that matter, and America just says his arm is tired. I'm probably not making sense or I'm thinking way too much into this but its nagging me and gah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry!!!

Ohh definitely no spoilers! The anticipation and the wait are half the fun! I don't think I'll ever get tired of thanking you for writing this, so thanks. XD

Wait, does this count as a spoiler? Ohh gosh. I hope not.

Hahaha, it'd only be a spoiler if we told you if you were right or wrong! XD
