Later, when they were sitting on his bed, watching television, when Peter suddenly realized Latvia was looking at him and not the program. Peter gave him a guestioning look.
Latvia inched closer and seemed to hesitate a moment. Then he leaned towards Peter, ever so carefully, and brushed his lips against the corner of Peter's blackened eye.
"I'm sorry," he whispered, one kiss and one apology for each bruise and cut. Peter sat still, feeling his face heat up. It was nevertheless a nice feeling, with Latvia so close and warm.
When Latvia was finished with his apologies, he drew back and sat still, head down.
Peter reached out a hand, touching Latvia's shoulder.
"I hurt you too, thought, didn't I? I didn't mean it...but I did, just like you."
Latvia nodded, smiling a bit sadly. Peter wanted to see him lauch properly, some day.
"Where," Peter blushed faintly. "does it hurt? I need to know so can pay back, right?"
Latvia's smile widened, just a little.
"...oh, everywhere. "

"Oh, Su-san, do stop pouting. I'm sorry for bringing up the whole neutrality this, t'was a low blow." "I 'n't pouting." "Sure you aren't. And don't glare at me either."
"'n m' own house! An' 'im being only thirty..." "Well, not everyone can wait for hundreds of years like we did."
