Take me home pt 1 (Child!Russia x reader)

It was another cold day well of course there was a snow storm just last night. But none the less you were out and about anyway. What? Can't a country go for a walk now and then? It snowed lightly as you wonder into the lifeless forest some tree's only containing a few dead leaves on their naked branches. Seeing something dark in the corner of your eye you turned your head your (e/c) eyes landing on what looked like a boy he sat there his eyes closed. His hair was beige as it lay messy under a dark hat, his body wrapped in what looked like rags of an old blanket around him, the small boy though wore a nice clean light pink scarf around his neck seemingly to big for him as it fell gracefully around his sitting figure. You guessed maybe he was around six or seven years old.

Walking over to the boy he didn't move he just sat there. Bending down to be eye level with him his skin was pale. You weren't sure if you should shake him or not a small knot of pity in your gut for having the fear if you did shake the boy he wouldn't awaken. You sighed sadly to yourself blowing your warm breath on his round cheeks a little color came back to them as he opened his eyes slowly your (e/c) eyes meeting his purple ones. He began to shake not because there was a stranger in front of him but of the cold. He had gotten lost in the snow storm the night before and finally gave up sitting there. Your heart jumped with joy as you smiled at him as he began to rub his hands together you took a look at them, his hands red and blistered your once happy smile going down to a frown. Not wanting to scare the boy you reached to his hands gently taking his small hands into your bigger hands warming them up. He just watched you with his big violet eyes in wonder.

"Poor guy" You said more to yourself then to him.

He winced a little when you rubbed the blisters on his hand's. Stopping you let go of his small hands. A thought struck you as you watched the boy shiver again rubbing his round face on the pink scarf for warmth.

"Hey, You want to come to my house? Get all warm put some cream on your hands then I'll take you home, how does that sound?" You said gently hoping not to sound weird, it wasn't like you were going to leave him out here.

Surprisingly he nodded slowly getting to his feet, he staggered at first the feeling in his small legs long since gone as the cold winter night took them from him. Watching the boy make an attempt to walk you picked him up. Holding him close to your frame trying to give him warmth and you began to walk as he gave you no protest.

You walked for about twenty minutes in silence before walking out the forest where your house stood just outside of it. It was a two story home made of bricks sort of like an old building from Italy, the house stand proud and beautiful in the sun light. Once opening the door you put the boy down who seemingly was able to walk into the house with no trouble at all. Kicking off your boots and taking off your jacket you went to help the boy out of his baggy tattered jacket and boots. He had taken off his hat and gently put it on the box by the door where you keep hats and other supplies there like scarves and mittens.

"Your house is very warm" The boy said suddenly having an accent.
"Well that's what I was aiming for" you replied smiling
Leading him into the kitchen you got him to sit at the table still wearing his scarf that dragged behind him. You grabbed a pot putting it on the stove putting milk in the pot you stirred it lightly before pulling out a box of plane milk chocolate and dumping little pieces into the warm milk. Now the boy watched as you did this wondering why you didn't just eat the chocolate and drink the milk cold. You turned to look at him looking at his questioning look.

"Oh, I'm making home made hot chocolate. I was thinking hey why not? It's cold and this is yummy" You stated with a grin going back to the hot chocolate that you were making, the sweet aroma of the chocolate filling the kitchen. Soon after you got two mugs filled them with the hot chocolate placing it in front of him as you sat across the boy.

"So what is your name little one?" You asked taking a sip of the hot liquid.
"Ivan" He said to fast trying to taste the hot chocolate first.
"Well Ivan I'm (f/n) nice to meet you"

He just gave you a smile in return obviously trying to enjoy his treat. Once getting a sip of the drink his purple eyes lit up like fire works and continued to steadily drink it with out burning his tongue. You sat in watch happy to share your drink with the boy before taking another sip out of your own mug. Once finished you went to get the cream for his hands like you said you would, walking over Ivan turned in his chair to face you while you bent down putting the soft cream in your hands taking his right hand gently rubbing it after taking his left. Finishing this you got up he looked at his hands hoping the blisters would go away. But no deal he just frowned and looked up at you with his innocent violet eyes.

"It's not magic you'll have to apply this every so often until they go away" You said not rudely but just simply as he just nodded and smiled again getting out of his seat.
"You said that when you put cream on my hands you would take me home" He said his accent shaky.
"Yes, why do you want to go right now?" You replied your heart sinking a little.
You did live alone and you liked your new friend and by now guessed he was Russian.
"нет. I was hoping to stay longer"

Those words lifted your sinking heart and made you beam seeing your reaction he was glad to stay. So you showed Ivan around the the house pointing out certain things and if he needed something well of course you got it for him he was your guest after all. Finally you went to the wall it was white and simple nothing on it, Confusing him he tilted his head as you pushed the wall on a certain spot and the wall opened like 2 small doors to a secret room.

"This is my special place, me and my sister use to hide in here and play or hide from everyone when we were young, When it got bad she hid in here while I tried to reason with the adults who took 'care' of us" You said as a small memory flashed in your head.
"Oh, Where is she now?" Ivan asked peeking inside the room.
"I sent her away to live some where else while I stayed back. That was such a long time ago" You shook your head walking into the room it's been awhile since you been in here truthfully you haven't been in here since the people that took care of you died maybe to put something away. Hey just cause your a country doesn't mean you had to be raised by another country.

Ivan went to a box and went through it pulling out an old blue pirate hat, Hell even back in the day you were pirate why not? You were famous for it since you were the first female pirate. Smiling you walked over to look at the old box forgetting wall that was in it. Pulling out a long blue jacket with grey rims.

"Yo ho and a bottle of rum" You mumbled to yourself missing the old days while Ivan in return giggled.

The two of you went through the old boxes and you told him stories he didn't know you were a country and he didn't know much of his history so this sort of helped.
Getting lost in time it was 10:23 pm. when you looked at the grandfather clock that was in the corner collecting dust. Hell it surprised you the damned thing still worked. And you knew it was time to take Ivan home.

"Come on lad uh yer Ivan, Time to take you home" You said putting the old uniform away. He just nodded and followed you to the front door stopping just away from where you hang your jackets and shoes.

"I do not want to go" You heard him say before looking at him while putting on your (f/c) on a little surprised. "I want to stay here"
"Ivan yo-" You began to say but cut you off quickly.
"It is better here for me do you not think so?" He looked at his tattered jacket.

You thought long and hard. What parent would let their child go out in the freezing cold with a thin tattered jacket. Your (e/c) eyes harden at the thought of people who let their children freeze but softened when you looked at Ivan worry tinted on his small round face. You smiled taking off your jacket.

"You know what? You can stay here" You said
"Really?" Ivan quickly rushing over hugged your legs tightly hoping to God you wouldn't change your mind.
"Yes" You said putting a hand on his head. "But it's late now. Let's try and get some sleep" He nodded letting you guide him to his room standing out the door you pointed to your room just down the hall. "If you need me I'm there" You say before going inside to tuck in the small boy.

Telling him good night you went to your room getting into your PJ's before crawling into your warm bed. You weren't in bed long before your door opened and someone crawled into bed with you snuggling into the blankets. Turning over you looked at Ivan his scarf off and his eyes shut pretending to sleep hoping to stay there unnoticed by you it didn't but you let it go and before long you fell asleep.
