Broken Dreams
A/N: This is just a quick Russia x Japan one shot. Hopefully this'll help break me out of my extended writers block. (I've already started to write the next chapter of Vampire Love) Anyway here you go!
Ivan glanced around, snow blocking his vision, trying to make sense of his surroundings. Heavy snow fell steadily around him, resting on the heavily sloped ground. Ivan spun around hoping to locate shelter from the icy weather. He spotted a Japanese style building not too far away. Ivan stumbled towards it, hoping to be able to shelter there, and possibly Kiku. Ivan stopped realisation spreading across his face. Where was Kiku? Wasn't he with him only moments ago? Ivan ran faster sliding slightly on the icy ground.
Cautiously opening the oaken door to the Japanese building, Ivan stepped inside brushing off the snow from his jacket, scarf and hair. A feeling of familiarity filled Ivan, as he recognised the house as Kiku's however Kiku wasn't anywhere in sight. Worry filled the Russian man's chest as he continued onward through the house sliding the paper thin doors open and starting to panic at the lack of Kiku's presence.
Finally Ivan reached the door he knew led to Kiku's bedroom, having already checked all of the other rooms. After a moment of hesitance the Russian carefully started to drag the door open. His gaze fell magnetically onto the small Japanese man kneeling on the floor facing away from Ivan. Ivan felt a strong sense of relief as he approached the smaller man. Carefully wrapping his arms around the smaller man's waist, Ivan felt a sense of contentment wash over him. This was instantly shattered however as Ivan felt wetness leak onto his sleeve. His gaze immediately moved to see what the cause was. Sickness and worry flooded through Ivan as he noticed a familiar red liquid leaking steadily from Kiku's small form, soaking through his kimono and staining the sleeve of Ivan's tan jacket.
Ivan swiftly turned Kiku in his arms. Fear immediately entering his violet eyes as he pulled back the different layers of Kiku's bloodstained kimono to inspect the extent of the injury. Ivan felt the urge to gag as he saw the gaping hole in Kiku's stomach. Something terrible must have happened in Japan for nations do not normally get injured this badly easily. Kiku choked slightly as he smiled gently, his teeth now also covered with blood. "At least I get to see you once more Ivan"
Panic filled Ivan as he clung tighter to the smaller man. "You'll be fine Kiku. Ja ljublju tebja. Please don't leave me. Ja ljublju tebja."
Kiku snuggled into Ivan's chest. "Aishiteru. Never forget that Ivan"
With that the Japanese man's grip loosed on Ivan, as he released his final breath and his eyes closed for the last time.
Ivan clutched the smaller form to himself tightly, tears leaking from his eyes. "Ja ljublju tebja. Please come back don't leave me"
"Ivan, Ivan wake up. Ivan!"
Ivan shot straight upwards eyes darting around crazily. He fixed his gaze on Kiku before throwing his arms tightly around Kiku's waist, burying his head in Kiku's shoulder, gasped sobs wracking his body.
"It's alright. I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." Kiku soothed Ivan gently stroking his fingers through the pale blonde hair.
Gradually Ivan's sobs subsided into gentle sighs before he fell into a relaxed sleep, out of exhaustion.
