... I AM REDEEMING YAO AFTER AHEN. SORT OF. Gakuen AU where Yao is crushing on Ivan. I think this one should stay pretty tame. Unless readers want me to change it, in which case I might up the rating, but that's only if the reviewers voice their opinions! D8
Ahaha, in my head Hetalia World Academy would be an international type thing, sending for and accepting kids from ALL AROUND THE WORLD. Hence why I said "Asian population"- the "Asia" Class would be pretty big, and Ivan weaseled his way in because some people consider Russia to be an Asian nation (me included 8D)
^ J^ Enjoy!
Yao Wang was an oddity amongst oddities at Hetalia World Academy. Of the Asian population at the school, Yao was the most respected, as well as being one of the more accomplished of the entire academy. Despite his success, however, a boy named Ivan had all it took to bring him to his knees.
It wasn't Yao's fault that he happened to have three quarters of his classes with the insanely beautiful Russian boy. It also wasn't his fault that he hurt his own pride by sputtering and blushing madly when he had to talk to said gorgeous Russian, be it the fault of chance or their teachers. No, it was all the fault of genetics. That was what Yao told himself- that genetics made him the way he was, the way Ivan was, and the way their teachers were. He refused to accept that it was his fault for not just ignoring the boy.
The math class they shared was particularly dreadful. The class itself was always stifling Yao with its heat, leaving him tugging at his high collared uniform and trying hard not to look at Ivan. Ivan had a knack for trying to talk to Yao at the most inopportune of times, like when the Chinese was doodling a portrait of a man who bore a striking resemblance to him, or when Yao was admiring his violet eyes from his convenient seat right next to him. Each time he was caught, Yao's face would turn redder and their teacher, Mr Barnes, would threaten to move them if they did not quit "flirting".
Cue more embarrassment for poor Yao.
Yao refused to come to terms with his feelings. Wang Yao, one of the most successful students at Hetalia World Academy, a gay? Not only was that wrong by his family's standards, it was wrong for the average teenager to harbor such feelings for someone of the same sex. Other average teenagers would think it wrong, scoff at him, possibly beat him to a pulp,- he knew it was normal for things like that to happen to gay boys, nobody could deny it!- so he acted as if he merely wanted to be good friends with Ivan.
Yes, because it is normal for a good friend to stare at and admire the other. Although this was obviously not the case, and Yao was truly crushing on Ivan, the stubborn Chinese student's mind would not change.
One day, Ivan came bounding down the hall for Yao, rudely shoving aside other students and loudly shouting "Jao-Jao~!" in his adorably childish voice. Yao, at his locker, turned his head to witness the spectacle and had to suppress the urge to smile at the eager Russian, a blush dusting his cheeks.
"Aiyaa, what do you want, aru?" Ivan's grin turned into a sheepish smile as he fiddled with the pink scarf that never left his neck, pulling it over his smiling mouth in a way that was very timid.
"Jao, I was wondering if you would be coming to my house after school? We have that project in history and I am very eager to be doing it with you!" He giggled and Yao restrained giggling himself- curse Ivan for being so cute! Yao shut his locker and turned to face Ivan, clutching his books in one arm as he brushed stray hairs behind a flushed ear with another.
"I-I have to pick up Hong and Mei from Elementary School and make sure Yong Soo and Kiku know I'll be gone, but sure, aru!"
"Good! I am having scary little sister, but hopefully she will be accepting your presence, da?" Ivan chirped. Yao had to crane his neck to look up at Ivan, who returned the curious gaze with an anxious one. "She... loves me very much, da? Thinks that we should be getting married and such." With a nod, Yao answered, understanding his plight.
"Yong Soo behaves in a similar fashion, aru. Always 'aniki-hyung, your nonexistent breasts are mine da-ze!' and the like. He gets jealous when I say I'm going somewhere and then he latches onto my leg and won't let go, aru!" Yao's impression of Yong Soo wasn't very flattering, his amber eyes rolling up at the ceiling and voice raising to an annoying pitch as he flailed his free forearm. The Russian, who was slightly less talkative, nodded the same way Yao had earlier and the small Chinese student huffed and wrapped his other arm around his books so that both arms securely held the heavy things to his chest.
"Hmm! I think I have met your brother before. He was hanging around Alfred, and threw a pencil at me and called me a big nosed fatty!" Yao gaped at him, ears turning redder with anger. Ivan was pudgy, but certainly not fat, and his big nose was cute! "I guess he was being right though. My nose is abnormally large and I am a bit big."
"Don't listen to anything he or Alfred says, aru! They're just intimidated because you're bigger and smarter than them!"
At his words uttered in anger, Ivan gave another sheepish smile. Really, the other kids at school poked fun at him because he was tall and a bit of a bumpkin. But Ivan was still smart, and had a heart of gold. Often Yao would catch him looking at the ground with the saddest of smiles as other students taunted him, and Yao, being Yao, would shoo them all away by threatening to bash their heads in with a wok. The smaller boy had a zero tolerance policy for bullying, no matter who was being bullied, and when the boy he liked- wanted to be really good friends with, Yao thought grudgingly- was being treated unfairly, things really got ugly.
The late bell rung, snapping Yao out of his thoughts and alerting the both of them of their tardiness to class. The two offered smiles and an exchange of "Sorry," before each heading to his own class.
Sitting down in his seat next to Alfred F Jones, the school's resident self proclaimed hero who also happened to be in his art class, Yao couldn't help but bubble with excitement at the thought of going to Ivan's house.
Ugh, I feel like its short but I can't help it! I don't want the chapters to be too long. If I keep to short chapters then the updates will be less far apart, doesn't that sound awesome? ^J^
I also have a picture up on dA for this! So, username is kurisuju, the stuff won't be hard to find (just look past the bad con photos LOLOL), enjoy that and my story! :
Also, question. anyone who looks at my dA and sees Crimson Flower, should I rewrite the fic and post it here? ;v; I'm not quite sure if I should orz the original is a pretty bad thing written in a notebook by me and Vanya and since I now have all summer to do whatever, I prolly should have time to rewrite... awesomely.
Lengthy AC is lengthy, again orz
Reviews always welcomed! make my ego feel nice! Or tell me I have mistakes to fix! Whichever CX
