Any/Russia: Russia is really insecure

The idea that Russia would be very insecure about his physical appearance (big nose, tall height, scars, chubby cheeks, *ahem* weight..) makes me go "D'awww!" like nothing else. I'd like to maybe see Nation A noticing this, and comforting him and telling him they'd never having anyway different.

Some official artwork has Matthew's eyes a cross between blue and purple. The purple is what I emphasize in this. Also, Canada uses a Newfoundland accent at one point. The expression is kind of like, “D'uh!” or "No d'uh!" (I'm a Newfoundlander, so I want to translate using the expression as the equivalent, lol. Hopefully it's just obvious). Also, I apologize for not using the bonus pairings. I just loved this idea.
“My brother's jealous.”
“Excuse me?” Ivan asked, turning to the man washing his hands beside him. His suit jacket on the counter, his sleeves rolled up just a bit, the man had the same young face as Alfred and hair like Francis. (Ivan blinked. Were those his eyes

“You're right,” Ivan agreed. “My nose is more manly than yours.” He turned to look at the man's face close up. “And it's the same, isn't it? Your faces?”
Matthew fidgeted, and it wasn't with nerves. Ivan could feel the muscles under the shoulder he still held, and he knew the feeling: it was anger. “Yes,” he agreed. “Mostly.”
“Yes,” Ivan agreed, smiling and taking his hand away. “Mostly.” Matthew looked up, startled. Ivan's smile grew, his eyes bright. “You have nicer eyes than him.”
Ivan had already started making his way back to the meeting room. He didn't see Matthew blush.
Ivan was trapped in that hell between anger and embarrassment. Everyone was going to Kiku's house for karaoke. Everyone but him. He hadn't expected to be invited, honestly, since he never was, since he and Japan had bad history, since he wasn't interested in singing in front of anyone (honestly). But Alfred had shouted out, just as everyone was packing up, that it was no good for Ivan to even try crashing the party because he wouldn't fit“You're way too

As if on cue, he heard Alfred's voice do some strange acrobatic move in which he was both shocked, disgusted, amused, and perhaps even proud.
“Woah! Shit! Ivan! Got some nasty scars there!”
Ivan said nothing. He was almost done. If he could just...
Alfred laughed. “Well, I guess if you lose so often, it's only natural, right?”
The muscles in Ivan's back tensed. The worst part about it was that Ivan knew they could seethat, and he felt the heat in his face grow.
“Hey Francis, do you have scars like that?” Alfred suddenly asked, turning to the Frenchman.
There was silence, and then a sniff of derision. “Non. I have some, just not quite so... prolific. Why do you ask?”
“Oh,” Alfred said, sounding put out. “I just thought. Since. You know. You're almost as big a loser as Russia, you'd have a bunch.”
“What did you say?” came the hiss, in French, and Ivan thought Francis must be truly angry for his entire voice to change. He lifted the iron up and turned to look, just in time to see Matthew holding Alfred's collar with both hands,

He walked into the meeting room with his head held high. He'd just pretend nothing was wrong and go straight to his seat. He didn't feel like teasing anyone today. (He secretly wondered if the Baltics could tell, if they were already whispering about that 'fat-assed Russian

Matthew blinked, surprised, and cocked his head a little. Then he smiled. Then he laughed. “I gave him a gym membership for Christmas,” he told Ivan once he had finished laughing. “He was super angry! 'What are you trying to tell me?! What are you trying to say
( ... )
I don't even know what I like so much about this, but this is just fun as hell to read. For some strange reason, I really like how there isn't an overt pairing; Matt comforting/complimenting Ivan even though they're no obviously a couple is strangely Canadian awesome; it's also nice to see someone write Canada as both a good guy AND a snarky, passive-aggressive jerk to his brother. Ah, and Ivan is still creepy-cute; it's just harder to see the creepiness from inside his head, isn't it? ... LOL @ his childish anger at not getting to tell Alfred he's fat.
... I'm so amused by that bonus. The second I read that sentence about Kiku and sumo wrestlers, I mourned the fact that you were going to leave it to my imagination. And then I saw the bonus and laughed FOREVER. Especially at the offer to draw it and the tentacles and ... yeah. (Arthur is going to end up scarred forever, isn't he? And this:
Suddenly, Kiku looked up, his eyes unfocused. “It made me. Want to be a woman

THIS WAS FUCKING PERFECT OMGAWD :DDDD
Your Russia was spot-on adorable all right, especially when he was in the bathroom measuring his weight. Also, watch my gigantic crush for your Canada, a character I usually care little for; he's fantastic here, and also interestingly unique, for a character that gets written so much. I really liked the whole scars part, it was interesting! Oh, and methinks Alfred's got a crush on Ivan, that's the kind of teasing you get up to in those circumstances ;)
Kiku needs to get drunk more. That bonus was HILARIOUS XDXDXDXDXD
W- ...Wow. I was NOT expecting something of this level. I was beginning to kinda lose hope that someone would fill this. Thank you SO much! This is beautiful, cute, and witty. I love how you write for Russia; he was so cute, but totally in character, and I like that. I was literally sitting here going "B'awww!" during the part where Russia was weighing himself! I'll admit, I'm not one for Canada/Russia, but this was perfect. Snarky!Matthew makes me smile, he really does.

I love love love your Russia - he's still cruel and clueless, but more childlike than sadistic. Meanwhile, the US is a whiny teenager, and your Canada is such an ass while keeping his quietness. XD
And I like that you didn't end it with any solidified pairings, just mutual embarrassing and bookended blushes. It's kind of open, but with the potential for them to take it further. Further adorableness, I mean.
So yeah. Loved this!

This was brilliant, Authornon. I loved Russia passing up a sunflower cake, and the way you described him as feeling immensely disappointed. I've been there, skipping over a favourite food in favour of something healthy because people are watching and judging.
Bonus: Nation A is either China or Lithuania
