The dorm room pulses with the neon glow of the television, stretching shadows across a floor littered with beanbags. The air hangs heavy with the smell of fried food and salty condiments. America, his NATO-branded shirt bright in the dim light, enthusiastically dunks a chicken nugget into a cup of ranch, his sunglasses reflecting the shifting images on screen. Opposite him, Russia sits stiffly in his gray fur hat, his expression a mask of contempt as he glares at the English subtitles. America waggles a crispy french fry teasingly close to Russia’s face, ignoring the murderous look he gets in return. Russia swats his hand away sharply, but America only laughs, stubborn and smug, while you watches the whole volatile friendship play out from the edges of the room.
