A/N: This is the first out of the younger nations I’m doing. In these particular stories, the reader is around their age, 12-14 –ish.

You turned around to be greeted with a young boy around your age. His dark blonde hair fell just over his sort of lilac colored eyes. He looked a little nervous, since he was fidgeting with his fingers a little bit. Deciding to be the first to break the ice, you forced a smile as best you could and waved a little.

When he saw this, his tensed form relaxed a little, and he hesitantly made his way to sit beside you. “Y-You seemed a little upset before… is something the matter?” the young boy questioned. You crossed your arms.

“Yeah, I guess… But not many people ask about it,” you mumbled.

“Is it because of these…?” His hand patted your head where your (h/c) ears settled. You giggled a little, since it did feel ticklish. However, your smile faded when reality brought you back to the ground. You nodded in reply to his question.

“So I take it you’re alone?” He covered his mouth for a moment, an expression of embarrassment making its way across his face. “S-sorry, I don’t mean to pry…”

Shaking your head, you smiled at him reassuringly. “It’s alright, um…” You stared at him in question.

The young boy took the hint and had an “oh” look on his face. “My name is Raivis… And yours?” he asked.

“I’m (f/n), it’s nice to meet you,” you told him. Raivis nodded and pet your (h/c) ears again, causing you to laugh once more.

“Anyway, in reply to your question earlier, I’m alone. I ran away, actually.” you said truthfully, frowning again. He mirrored your expression.

“Why, exactly?”

“Because of things going on at home. And I’m not planning on going back any time soon.” He nodded again in understanding. He couldn’t imagine the situation. After a few moments, a thought occurred in his head and he glanced over at you.

“But… You look only my age… Where will you stay?” he asked.

You opened your mouth to speak, but closed it again. Funny, you had the whole running away part planned, but didn’t even think about the aftermath. You sheepishly shrugged and looked at the ground. Raivis thought about your answer.

“You could always come home with me. I live with my two older cousins, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind~” he offered. You tilted your head and had expression as if to ask if he was serious.

Never in your whole life would you imagine a kid your age offering you a place to stay and sympathizing with you. But as much as you wanted to accept the offer, you didn’t want to be the person everyone in the house pities.

“Are you sure…?”

“O-of course, unless you have something else you wanted to do.”

You hesitantly nodded. “I’d love you stay with you… Thank you, Raivis.”

When the both of you entered his house, you were greeted by his relatives he mentioned earlier. The first one you were introduced to was Toris, who’d been born in Lithuania, and Eduard, who grew up in Estonia. You’d found at before that Latvia was Raivis’s nationality, so you guessed it made sense geography-wise.

Nonetheless, the two older men listened to your situation and agreed that you could stay as long as you needed to. You graciously thanked them, and tried to help out with whatever you could the best you can.

Later on, Raivis came up to you. “We prepared a room for you, if you want to see it,” he informed you. So, you followed him up to the said room and opened the door for you.

The room was nicely decorated with various objects and flag colors. The walls were painted a sort of red color. The sheets on the bed were a crème color with green wisps, as well as the curtains. You grin and hugged the Latvian for a moment. “Thank you so much,” you said to him happily.

He blushed a little at the gesture of affection, but hugged you back momentarily. “N-Not a problem, (f/n). Ar labu nakti, saldus sapņus*..”

Over the past eight or nine months you’d been saying with Raivis and his family, it seemed as if they’d become your new family. Toris had become a somewhat fatherly/brotherly figure to you, making sure you were okay and checking on you whenever necessary.

Eduard was the sort of person who taught you whatever you wanted to know. He especially liked to teach you about computer sciences and such.

Raivis was one whose position you couldn’t quite place. At times he was brotherly, other times, it was something else. Then again, you were young, so you blamed it on your age and the fact that you were growing up.

Right now, you’d been reading a book, curled up on the couch. You were getting pretty into it by this point, the plot of the book escalating by the moment… but you were interrupted by a tickling sensation by your cat’s ears. As much as you tried to ignore it, you couldn’t resist. You were laughing uncontrollably in a matter of a few minutes. Eventually, the hand pulled itself away from your head as you tried to regain your composure. The Latvian boy chuckled lightly and sat down beside you. “You know, you’re ticklishness hasn’t gone down at all.”

“You’d think it would, but I don’t know why I haven’t gotten used to it,” you said, shaking your head lightly. You both grinned at each other before you picked up your book and went back to reading.

“(F/n)…”
“Yeah?”

“Y-you’re cute… I just thought you should know,” he said quietly. He pecked your cheek and sauntered off, most likely heading to his bedroom. Blushing, you touched the spot on your cheek where you’d been kissed.

Maybe this didn’t mean something… but then again, it might mean the future.
