February 1st, 1992

It is the very first day of the second month of the leap year that is 1992. The countryhumans have been paired up into some forced romance by the United Nations (what?). It was the first such in the entire history. What was the purpose of it? The UN said that it will help get nations together (despite them literally forced to be in some kind of romance). United States was paired up with Israel. The United Kingdom was paired with France, China was paired with Vietnam, and Russia was with Yugoslavia (Stalin deserved it as punishment for being greedy and making others starve to death). This is the first day. Most are new to this while some already have experience.

Yugoslav, despite his glory and legacy of not aligning with the West or the East, never had found love as no one really wanted him despite his heroic efforts. But Yugoslav at the time wasn't feeling it up until 1990. When Yugoslavia collapsed, Yugoslav simply gave up on the idea of reunifying and saw it as a call for retirement and moving into a new chapter. But even then, he wasn't able to form a family. This relationship for him was now or never, even if it was forced upon and arranged by the United Nations (why though?!).

It was a sunny day on February 1st, 1992. Yugoslav and Russia were walking in the park. Yugoslav was seen with his blue military uniform which was worn by his deceased idol, Josip Broz Tito. His hat was also blue and had the coat of arms of socialist Yugoslavia pinned on it in the center. Russia on the other hand was in her brownish clothing and her ushanka flopped with dark gray that isn't purely empty thanks to the red star which is a stain of the fallen Soviet Union. It was clear that Russia made it that she is the legal successor of the fallen Soviet Union.

The two were walking and then sat on the bench as they have walked a mere kilometer, passing by the empty branches of the trees, waiting to bloom in the next month. The wind that blew was cold, indicating that the climate was not warm much to the expense of Yugoslav's Mediterranean heritage which was used to a warmer climate. But Russia's presence is what kept him warm. Then, the silence ceased to exist once Yugoslav spoke first (Ladies first?! Where's the chivalry?).

Yugoslav: "Well. I'm still rather confused."
Yugoslav clearly was aware of the forced relationship and found it hard to adapt.

Russia: "Same. Come to think of it, I recall a memory from 1948."

Yugoslav: "Eh?"
Yugoslav too knew what was Russia going to say about the event of 1948.

Russia: "You know the time you kissed me?"

Yugoslav: "Oh yeah. Back then I was quite the punk in the clothing of a fancy military marshal. Didn't want to be no one's minion or slave. It was simply me being impulsive and me attempting to assert my dominance onto you, Rossiya."
Yugoslav tried to get Russia engaged by calling her name in her native language. She giggled nervously.

Russia: "I find it funny that you had the nerves to do that. You really are a rebel. You never conform to what is enforced upon by the West or the East. That is what I like, coming from a socialist like you who took inspiration from me."

Yugoslav: "Yeah. Self-determination. I always stuck to the words of Lenin. You were a Stalin girl and you didn't like it when I wasn't an avid supporter of your "socialism in one country" policy. You know that such reminded me of when the Serbs were the supreme lords in the monarchist Yugoslavia. Thank goodness that people chose the right leader and the right system."
Yugoslav prides himself.

Russia: "Ha! I now remember! You're quite the smart type of a commie. You were always looking to pinch on me for supporting Stalin and say how communism isn't Russian and that communism is for the people. You were always the cynical guy who never trusted me because you've always complained about me not letting other nations decide on their fate of socialism."

Yugoslav: "At least you had a "Trotsky" to pick a bone with. Hehe!"
Yugoslav said this in an attempted flirty tone to fluster Russia.

Russia: "Urgh. If you don't stop, I'll send one to Belgrade and I won't have to send another one."
Russia tries to entertain Yugoslav by using his words. Yugoslav laughed and then responded.

Yugoslav: "The student has learned something from the teacher."
He smiled as Russia enjoyed spending time with him.

Russia: "A pleasure to have some time with you."
As she says that. Yugo suddenly feels hungry.

Yugoslav: "About time we hold hands on our way to a restaurant. Shall we?"
Yugoslav's request made Russia still rather nervous. It was understanding of why. She eventually was reluctant to hold hands with Yugoslav.

Yugoslav and Russia held hands and walked through the park, looking for a good restaurant to chow down. Russia's face was seen with a nervous frown and a blush in her face. She was rather upset that she was flattered by Yugoslav. Then she broadly grins with the blush intact as she couldn't let go of this opportunity. They approach the restaurant. The restaurant was crowded with other assigned couples.

In the restaurant there was America with Japan, Britain and France, Germany and Poland, the usual. There were other couples not quite with the chemistry that one would expect such as Canada and Ukraine, South Korea and Taiwan, and such. There were also empty seats as well. Yugoslav and Russia proudly sat beside the window. Unexpectedly, Russia sat next to Yugoslav. Yugoslav struck gold with Russia.

Yugoslav: "Already a step forward?"
Yugoslav is enamored by Russia's move.

Russia: "I'm just using the last of the Winter move just like I did in the Winter of '41."
Russia says it in a flirty manner.

Yugoslav: "I have prevailed in the winter twice in 1942 and 1943-44."
Yugoslav backfires with a reference to the two of the seven enemy offensives he fought.

Russia: "I guess Drvar wasn't enough for sneaky and weird men like you and I wish I had the skills of your hide and seek."
Russia compliments Yugoslav's guerilla warfare.

Yugoslav: "I kept the game going for four years. At least saved you the trouble for a bit."
Yugoslav's compliment amuses Russia.

Russia: "And I returned the favor."
Russia responded with a grin on her face and a blush.

Both Yugoslav and Russia were interrupted by the waiter. They ordered their lunch in the restaurant. After the lunch they decided to leave and continue their flirtatious adventure in Yugoslav's house where Yugoslav would proceed to give a house tour.

Yugoslav: "This is my house."
Yugoslav points at the house which has been ghosted since 1990 with only Yugoslav being the remaining the inhabitant. The home has a bluish exterior. The rooms await for the introduction.

Russia: "For a man like you, this house seems fine."
Russia is surprised that Yugoslav is able to maintain a house on his own.

Yugoslav: "Indeed. First time since 1990 that someone else be visiting my house."
They enter the house after that.

Yugoslav: "This is where it all started. I remember buying this house somewhere in 1946. To think that it stands still says a lot but the hardest part is getting a family."

Russia: "I didn't know you were in pursuit for a family."

Yugoslav: "Years of political hardwork have paid me well but now, as 1990 came, the time had come for me to eventually just retire and focus on the more peaceful aspect of life that is all not so dull. Now, it is about time to have it."

Russia: "A family? We just started getting along together and now you're already seeking a family thing from me?"
Russia asked in a rather annoyed tone.

Yugoslav: "Oh. Impulsive reaction."
Yugoslav responded in a rather worried tone as he felt stupid for making that.

Russia: "Huh? What made you feel emotional all of a sudden over a simple question, Mr. Emotional?"
Russia asked with a surprised look.

Yugoslav: "You bother even asking me that?!"
Yugoslav replies in a rather annoyed tone.

Russia: "Alright, Yugo. Let's sit on the couch."

Yugoslav: "Well, can't argue on that."
Yugoslav is honest about his sudden build-up of emotions and decides to try talk it out.

Russia: "What is going with you?!"

Yugoslav: "Well, you've guessed one part."

Russia: "Well, what caused it?"

Yugoslav: "No. I don't think you'll understand me. Literally we just started being together today."

Russia: "I'll try."

Yugoslav: "Try at your own risk."

Russia: "Hey! I may be physically stronger than the traditional girly girl but I also am emotionally present. Perhaps something I never introduced to you as I tend to be cold."
Russia's last sentence was bright.

Yugoslav: "Heh. Well, You've convinced me."
Yugoslav was prepping up his backstory.

Yugoslav: "It's a story. A story which began in the '41. Having fought the Second World War, got one eye permanently shot in '43, I braved my way out and came to be to the international stage. You did some high school bully thingy with me until '48. America overdosed me with the fucking IMF. All of this just made me feel like there is no faith for humanity. I did my best for the non-aligned movement but at what cost? Now everyone ignores me. At this point, I even banter myself on why I didn't go nuclear because a nuclear war could have put an end to all of this evil."
Before Yugoslav continued any further, Russia began to pat on his shoulder like a real girlfriend (DESPITE LITERALLY BEING DAY ONE!!!).

Russia: "Yugo... You've gone through a lot for sure but there is no need to lose faith in yourself now that everyone just suddenly became antagonized. If you lose faith, you lose yourself. I don't wanna lose you. Myself I was a prick for sure and I feel bad that I made you get overdosed with all of that "IMF Medicine". Your nation collapsed, communism is gone. It's now what we are condemned to live in with our own grave mistakes."
Yugoslav didn't seem cheerful of her postive-negative paragraph but he then had an idea surge in his mind.

Yugoslav: "Communism isn't lost. It can be possible for the two of us. Just the two of us. Nothing else. We make a proud communist family and raise a generation of revolutionaries. That would be of great dignity to the two us. Say, shall we put our differences aside and end this 44-year-war that started in the days long past?"
Yugoslav's optimistic toning made Russia smile. She went on to hug him.

Russia: "Let us start a new life then."
Cheered Russia passively.

Yugoslav: "Yes. The only nuclear thing I want is a nuclear family of ours!"
Yugoslav proceeded to joke about the nuclear bomb thing. Russia giggled in a tomboyish voice.

Russia: "That's more like it."
Russia said with a smile. Both hugged. It was the beginning of the new life.

Yugoslav: "So this is what a Yugo-Bolshevik is, eh?"
Yugoslav once again tried to be funny and Russia giggled again.

Russia: "Yeah. I like that name. Perfectly fits only two of us. No one else."


Before they knew it, February 2nd was coming. Their first day went along. They managed to put an end to their long feud that started in 1948 and now had ended in 1992. Yugoslav and Russia are willing to change themselves for the betterment of their own relationship for it is Yugoslav's intention that communism be achieved and done in a way of a home life with some outside fun of course. At this point, they won't even consider roleplaying the relationship but actually investing their time into it because how can the development of the plot continue otherwise? Anyways, enough rambling. Yugo-Bolshevik created and now the fun begins.
