Chapter 1: The Beginning

Ivan's POV:

I sighed as I stared blankly at the papers in front of me. Papers which should be covered with notes about news from the other nations, is instead covered with a vast array of doodles.

'Another boring world meeting as always. Why can't the news be as exciting as the stories we had in the old days. Those at least had fighting, and petty arguments you could be fascinated in.' I think to myself as I place my hand to my cheek and look down at my doodles.

They were mostly doodles of Yao, pandas and one of a mini Yao hiding in a bamboo forest winking. I giggled silently. The year is 2020 and things haven't changed much since the last wrold meeting. Everyone is always reporting the same news; this plan is falling into action, this is failing, eCommerce(1) is increasing with this product. Honestly if something didn't happen soon, I would be almost willing to start a war just to get some excitement into the air! I looked over to Yao across the widely stretched table and smiled.

I had fallen in love with the small Chinese nation for the longest time. There wasn't another nation like him. Small and fragile, but smart and experienced. The way he always gets angry at me when I dress up as a panda and stalk him. The adorable little pout he gives is enough to give him a huge Russian bear hug!

However Yao hasn't been himself lately. Not that he'll admit it to anyone but me, but he's been being pushed to his limits by a certain American nation. Alfred has been putting a great deal of stress on his little Yao. Those greedy little bastards have been much urgent, more assertive and more annoying as to what they order from China. I noticed just how much it's been hurting him and almost sending him to a breaking point. I am very concerned for him. It isn't healthy for anyone to be under this much agitation and stress.

Flashback:

Yao and I were at my house having a nice conversation about a month ago. It was about 11 PM when I finally bring up the point that he doesn't seem so well.

"Yao-Yao's OK da?" I asked him inching closer to him.

"Again with the nickname Ivan aru?" he asked in a laughable tone but when he saw the my face was completely serious his tone deepened. "Well if you must know, I haven't been able to sleep this past week aru."

"Why not? Bad dreams da?" I asked.

"No it's not that aru. Alfred is pushing me to get his orders done faster. I've been only able to sleep for about 3 hours this entire week aru." He replied yawning.

"That way of living isn't healthy Yao. You know that da?" I told him rubbing his back.

"I know, I know! But what can I do aru?"

"Tell him to lay off. Stand up to him! If you needed me to I could beat him with my pipe until he agrees!" I giggled but with the upmost sincerity.

"Aiyaa! Ivan, you shouldn't solve all your problems with beating people and enducing fear aru." He says, a crease falling onto his forehead.

"But it's worked so well in the past da?" I asked.

"No it hasn't aru..." he whispers. "Anyway, I can't just tell Alfred off aru. He's one of my biggest consumers aru. If he stops with all this, I lose a great deal of business aru."

"Yao just swallow your pride already and tell him off!" I wanted to shout but stopped myself. I noticed Yao's eyes drooping, his beautiful brown eyes showing less life in them by the second. His shoulders drooped and it looked like exhaustion was creeping up on him and consuming him. 'He needs sleep.' I think to myself. I stand up and before Yao can react I lifted him and carried him up the stairs.

"Ivan! What the hell are you doing aru? Let me down this instant!" he cries but I ignore it all.

I take him to my bedroom and lay him down on my bed. "Ivan what is this nonsense aru?"

"You needed sleep da? Well here you go!" I announced crawling into bed next to him. "You can sleep here tonight. Don't worry about work, just get the sleep you need." I tell him.

After a minute of thought, exhaustion finally made it's way upon him. "Fine, but don't you dare try anything Ivan Braginski or else aru." He threatens.

"You can trust me da? I promise." I reply giggling.

"Mmmm good aru…" he says as he soon falls into a deep sleep.

I smiled and waited until I too become tired. Suddenly a movement from Yao causes me to turn towards him and see as he subconsciously curls up to me and drapes an arm over me. I smile and kissed him on the forehead. "Good night Yao." I say and before I knew it I was asleep.

End Flashback:

I look over to Yao and notice that something isn't right about my love. Now he's looking more tired than ever. His movements are sluggish, he's not taking notes like he normally does and he has an irritated look on his face whenever Alfred speaks up front. What really intrigues me however is the fact that I can notice an evil auora errupting from him.

'I've never seen him do that before. This can't be a good sign.' I think to myself.

Suddenly Alfred's booming voice catches my attention and the subject matter is less than what I was hoping to get discussed at a world meeting no less.

"Everyone! The hero here needs to talk to you all about something!" He yells.

I smile as I hear the other nations groan in protest.

"Seriously Alfred? More pointless news? Is this really necessary to give us such pointless updates about plan after plan you and your boss are conjouring up?" Ludwig asked rubbing his head with his hand in the sign of a headache.

"Hey! My news isn't always pointless! If it's spoken from the mouth of a hero, then it's most important!" he spat with a defiant glare. "Anyway, I want to talk to you all and most importantly Yao about this deal I want." He said.

'Wait…what in the hell is he planing to do to my dear Yao?' I thought to myself.

Yao sighs deeply and answers with a deadpanned expression on his face that read alone and defeated. "What is it this time Alfred aru? And why is it so important you have to bring it up at a world meeting and not in private aru?" he adds with a posionous tone.

"The subject, is rare earth. I know and everyone else knows that the mineral known as rare earth is 95% controlled by China. We all use it to create our electronics, cars and everything else!(2) With all this business I've been doing, I haven't had the opprotune moment to ask this until now. I'm seeking to buy half of your rare earth Yao! I need to use it for making my super awesome weapons I've been constructing and you're the country with the most that I could buy it from! But the thing is, I don't have the money to buy it all so I was wondering if you could lower your price down for me." Alfred says grinning a cocky smile.

Alfred doesn't notice however how everyone is wide eyed and gasping at the words just spewing from his mouth at the moment. I opened my eyes wide and look at Yao who looks like he's ready to break down and cry.

"You…you want me to just…." Yao stutters not finding the words to say at the moment to Alfred.

"Oh! I almost forgot. Do you think you could also-" Alfred started but was soon silenced as Yao stood up, a very deep auora around him.

"SHUT UP YOU BRUDING AMERICAN! I've had enough aru! Calm the hell down about the supplies you want from me and just leave. Me. The hell. ALONE!" Yao shouted glaring at him.

I stared wide eyed but proud at Yao for finally standing up to that greedy asshole. However Alfred would not let it rest.

"Wait calm down dude. Are you saying your not going to help me? I thought we were partners!" Alfred said.

'Partners?' I though rage engulfing me. 'That's it.' I stood up and challenged Alfred. "He said to back off Alfred. I suggest that would be the best option da?" I said in a chilling voice.

Alfred turned towards me and glared. "All I'm saying is that as the strongest nation I need all I can get! So just stay out of it!" he said with a very annoying glint in his eyes.

I started to growl under my breath. "kol kol kol kol kol kol….." I started to reach for my pipe.

I was about to pull out everything and bash some sense into the babbling American when I felt a cold breeze and the temperture in the room dropped. Silence hushed the shocked and fighting nations. Everyone in the room looked for the source of the strange auora: Yao. I looked at him wide eyed and curious. He had never seen him in such a state that was actually frightening to those who didn't personally know him.

"Alfred…" he whispered in a chilling voice that was on the verge of breaking. "If you want your damn earth, you'll have to rip it from my dead hands aru…"

Alfred looks at him with an actual scared expression. "Wait, are you declaring war on me?

Yao looked up at him with a sure death look in his eyes, and in a chilling voice that managed to even startle me, he answered, "Let's just say, I'd watch my back if I were you Alfred aru."

1) eCommerce if you don't know is basically a product you buy off the internet. Ex: Norton virus protection. Instead of going to the store and buying it off the shelf in a big bulky box, you can buy it off the internet directly onto your computer.

2) I checked up on this information while writing the plot outline. My sources are accurate and the truth when they tell me this.
