T/N: This is translated for lady-ribbon. Hope u'll enjoy my translation more than google's and HASEGAWA'S.

A/N: The bunnies are from The Principles of Economics by G. Mankiw. DialogueFic, Fluffy/Cheesy.

I'm inspired when I tried to find a way to memorize all the ten principles. Enjoy it. Watch out for my cold jokes to avoid "frostbitten".

"Ivan, u seem to be debating with urself aru."

"Yeah I am. I can't decide whether to dress u up as a nurse or maid tonight… It's too

PRINCIPLE #1: PEOPLE FACE TRADEOFFS

Yao, head leaning on his hand, smiling to Ivan who is sleeping on his chest.

Suddenly he massaged the head of this sleepy polar bear, "Hey, why is it that our relationship turns out to be like this aru?"

Ivan held Yao's middle, and buried his face into Yao's breast, with his eyes barely open. His muffled voice came into Yao's ears, "It is because that, I've given my whole heart to you, my little Yao."

His muffled voice came into Yao's ears, "It is because that, My whole heart is captured by you, my little Yao."

Yao was stunned, and sighed the next moment. He smiled and kissed the asleep Ivan on the nose, "So…I am as well a captive, of yours, my Vanya."

PRINCIPLE #2: THE COST OF SOMETHING IS WHAT YOU GIVE UP TO GET IT

"Over here, Sir! The latest Shinatty figure! Just $ **** and you can have one! The best

"…"

"Don't make yourself regret, sir! For another $ ***， you can get a set of Shinatty-ears

and Shinatty-tail! Which is wearable! And the Shinatty skirt suit!"

"...I'll take it."

PRINCIPLE #3: RATIONAL PEOPLE THINK AT THE MARGIN

"No kidding? I mean, you WILL wash up all the dishes, if I kiss u?"

"Un-huh~"

PRINCIPLE #4: PEOPLE RESPOND TO INCENTIVES

"Your little bro Honda sold some interesting disks and toys to me! I'll be feeling even happier if Yao agrees to experience them with me, da?"

"…"

PRINCIPLE #5: TRADE CAN MAKE EVERYONE BETTER OFF
