(America POV)

It was just a normal day in the office. The sounds of the clacking of the keys on a keyboard, scratching of pens on paper, pages flipping, and the occasional frustrated sighs filled my ears. I myself was quite frustrated. I just came back from my leave and the pile of work I have to deal with is a hell hole.

I was clicking the pen in frustration but I stopped when I heard my phone ring. I turned to look at it. Why the hell would someone be calling me now? But then I looked at the contact and saw who called. Ah...

It was my boss, UN.

I wondered why he would even call me instead of sending someone to me. It must be important... "Hello sir," I greeted. "Yes, hello America," UN greeted back. "I have important matters that we need to discuss. Meet me in my office, asap," he ordered. If he's asking me to go to his office 'asap' then this must be reallllyyy important. I immediately head off to his office, honestly scared for my life for what he's going to tell me.

Soon I made it there. I gently knocked three times. I could hear a faint 'come in' through the door, so I did as told. I gently opened the door to see UN with his head leaning on his hand. He seemed very tired and stressed. I go to the seat in front of his desk and sit quietly. "So... what did you call me here for, sir?" I asked. He straightens out and looks at me with sorrow. "Russia is missing."

What?!

My eyes widened as I tried to process what he told me. I tried to say something but I ended up mumbling with fear instead. "I know, I know..." UN tried to reassure me. "Which is why I have assigned you to look for him," he said. I looked at him with great respect. I immediately thanked him, and asked for the plan...

It's been almost a year since the start of my search for Russia... almost a year of useless searching... almost a year... I sighed. What else was there to do? It's no use searching anymore, he's not going to show up anywhere... isn't he?

I went to the bathroom to go get ready for work. I already had my work outfit prepared. As I was taking a shower, thoughts interrupted the peacefulness of it... What if Russia isn't out there... but what if he is... what if he's just bidding his time... what if I would see him today?... no that last one is impossible. There's no way I'd find him today... right?

I sigh as I turned off the shower. I honestly have no idea what to think of anymore. I go out of the shower and dry myself then head to my room to get my outfit. I put it on slowly, thoughts still burning in my head. I shook my head in frustration. I shouldn't be thinking too much about it anymore. There's no point.

I head out of my apartment, locking the door behind me. I go to the elevator on my apartment and hit the ground floor button. I know Germany was there waiting for me. We happened to live in the same apartment, you see. It's quite neat since he was helping me on the search... but I'd have to tell him that I'm discontinuing it today.

The elevator dings as the doors open. I walk out and see Germany sitting on the couches. I give him a friendly smile. I was going to walk towards him, but the desk attendee calls me. "Yeah?" I reply. "Do you need something?" She then looks at me holding a letter. "This was addressed to you sir," she said. I walk towards the front desk and take the letter from her. I thanked her, my voice soft. Who would give a letter to me?

This thoughts lingered as I walked to the car with Germany. I know that he was talking, but it came in one ear and went out the other. I really just couldn't get a finger on who would send a letter to me. And it doesn't help that when I took a peek at the addressee (?), there's no name. Just great. Another thing to confuse me.

I then realized we we're right in front of Germany's car. He headed into the driver's seat while I went into the back passenger seats. I'd usually go in the front passenger seat so I could chat with him easily and be able to change the radio but I wanted to open my letter in private. I think he understood my reasons since he didn't question it which is quite unusual for him, but I digress.

I gently opened the letter and started reading it....

Dear America,

It's been a long time since I've talked to you. I've tried reaching you several times but I've haven't been able to. So why don't we meet somewhere? I'll be at the blue lake at 4PM on the 9th of March. I hope to see you there.

My eyes widened as familiarity hit me like a tsunami. The 'blue lake' they were talking about was the nickname of me and Russia's favorite lake. How would they know about that nickname? And he always loved being there at exactly at 4PM because they would be able to watch the sunset. This has to just be a coincidence...

"America!"

I was jolted back to reality when Germany called me. "Sorry, I was just... thinking..." I apologized. He arched an eyebrow but he let it slide. I sighed from relief. We both bid each other goodbye as we went to our respective work areas. Then I sat down, stretching my arms forward and cracking my knuckles. I looked at the workload that I had to do. I sighed as I picked up my pen and began to write.

Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick... the sounds of the clock rang in my ears. I cracked my knuckles and stretched my arms upward. I sigh as I look at the clock... 3:45PM... 9 Mar 2023... wait a minute-

I searched through my bag and saw the letter. I snatched it, folded it open, and hurriedly read it again... I'll be at the blue lake at 4PM on the 9th of March... then it clicked.

That's in 15 minutes!!

I immediately decided to quit work today. Fuck being absent, this was important. This could be a lead to finding Russia... my Russia...

I started running through the halls, my coat flowing behind me. "Amerika where are you going?!" Germany called. "To a possible lead!" I shouted as I kept running at maximum speed. Germany was calling me to come back but I didn't listen. "I don't understa-" he started to say but I cut him off as I slammed the door behind me. I was out of the building but I insantly head to the route I usually follow. Nostalgia hit me as I went through the path me and Russia always went through.

I kept running and running, the sound of rocks, soil, and grass beneath me. I kept going until I finally saw the lake. I saw the bench and sat there. My breath was shaky. I ran so far as fast as I could without stopping. Who wouldn't be tired? I looked at my wrist watch. 4:15PM...

Shit.

There's no way they'd be here. It's 15 minutes past the meeting time. They'd probably expect me to come early. I wish I'd just realized earlier. I hunched over as I cried, hugging my knees. I don't know how long I've been crying, but I felt arms wrap around me. The tears instantly stopped falling and my eyes opened in shock. I swerved to look behind me and saw...

Russia...

We looked at each others eyes. Tears swelled in my eyes again, but this time... they were out of joy. I hugged him and he hugged me back. I wish I could stay like this forever. Just the two of us. We pulled apart. Russia looked at me with happiness. "I've been looking for you for so long..." he said, emotion slurring his words. I missed his handsome and loving voice, how it can calm me down instantly. I replied with just as much emotion. "Oh I've been to...

I've been looking for a miracle."
