"When maybe I should've just been saying to myself, 'hey. He's here. So this must be where he wants to be. Maybe you should shut the fuck up and kiss him already.'"

THAT IS NOT RUSSIA'S WAY. Happiness is to be feared and mistrusted. XD
And then America's like "DISNEYLAND!"
And Russia's like "...*suspicious squint*"

Seriously, caring America and vulnerable/needy Russia is so adorable. I find it funny because I think in beginning of the outline America wanted the emotional attachment but was a little more hesitant about the physical aspect. While Russia didn't mind the friend's with benefits part but had trouble fully opening up. And now they are just both so in sync in both in the physical sense and the emotional sense. I know you guys have done other chapters where the boys do the um physical, but this chapter really stands out to me because they are both so open with admitting they are emotionally connecting. Yea I don't know if that made any sense but if it doesn't I'm blaming it on the time and physics.
Also Russia totally reminds me of a girl in this chapter especially when he says "Not gorgeous," he mumbled. "Wish you wouldn't...say that...". I dunno I just see denying compliments especially coming from a loving boyfriend because of insecurities something that females do more than males ( ... )

No, that totally makes sense. This is probably the most intimate chapter we've had yet, even though they don't have sex.

They are both huge girls sometimes. I think it's adorable. XD
Definitely the story (and their relationship) is gonna take a big turn once we get to the 60s, but I hope you won't totally tune out on what the guys get up to. We've got some pretty sexy stuff planned. XD

I mean, it's just--!
You can feel their emotion. It's practically dripping from every single word. A deep breath of fresh air.
This chapter is just sweet, sweet relief. For us. For them. And I just wanna whack them over the heads, because they love each other so, so very much. So much that it hurts. And, oh my god.
*breathe in, and out*

They really do, it is ridiculous. And it's so nice to be able to write chapters like this where that shines through so clearly, and it's not just a "hint" or "subtext" or whatever, they are seriously just getting love all over the place and not even being shy about it.
'Course, they still won't call it that. XD
