Crimson Sunflower

By Puga-san

~Hetalia Russia x China~

A sweet smile was planted on the sleeping Russian's face. It gave a touch of innocence to the creepy and possessive, yet sweet and kind nation. Yao searched the face for a hint of evil, and surprisingly found none.
Russia was a pretty threatening guy, and scared the life out of some of the other nations, including himself, China, but now he seemed like an innocent, sweet child.
Yao had found his host asleep in a field of bright sunflowers, clutching one that he had picked to his chest and breathing evenly.
Yao smiled and giggled,

'He looks so cute when he's asleep,' He thought as his thin, but strong arms picked up the bulky Russian and walked back to his house.

** Russia POV**

I woke up in my house with a small form of warmth tucked next to my chest.
'My little Yao-Yao got tired from carrying me'
Russia began to think again, 'What if he loves me too?'
Yao then murmured and snuggled into Ivan's chest , sighing in content after settling.
' I have to ask him soon.'

**China's POV**

He woke to find that he had fallen asleep next to Ivan. Not exactly sure what to do, Yao delicately tried to slide out, but then felt the protective arms around his waist. He poked and prodded the sleeping Russian, hoping to gain freedom, but nothing worked.
He looked at the Russian's face and out of subconscious impulse, kissed him.
'What am I doing?!' His mind cried, 'Maybe I do have feelings for him?' But before that could be pondered, he felt Ivan gently kissing back. One hand had slid to Yao's undone hair and the other had slid to his back and was rubbing it slowly.
Yao then realized that Ivan loved him back.
'Oh my gosh! He loves me? I-I do love him!'
Yao kissed back even harder at this realization. They soon broke and Ivan spoke first,
"Do you really love me, my crimson sunflower? "
Yao then replied shakily "Yes ~ aru."
Ivan snuggled into China's extremely soft hair and sighed
" I love you too "
"Can I ask you something?" China said with a mischievous, yet innocent look in his eyes. Russia nodded, yes, and smiled as he looked into the other's eyes,

" I wanted to get this over with, you once asked me 'Do I want to become one with mother Russia?" Well, my answer is yes. If you really want to, yes."
Ivan, surprised at the speech, smirked happily.
" I might just take you up on that, my sunflower... "
