Hey Guys.
I decided to turn this into a nichu oneshot collection since I had a bunch of ideas.
So heres the drill:
-Rating is highly unlikely to go above T
-All of them will have China and Japan. Mostly slash but maybe a few brotherly ones if I feel like it. They are also likely to be weird.
~ Summary: Kiku muses on how Yao can love him after all he has done. Pre-established nichu. ~
It had been 10 years since the relations between the two nations had normalized and a month since they had been going out.
It was one of the rare times when Yao was visiting Kiku as he barely got time.
He had mainly come to attend a meeting but was staying the night at Kiku's.
Currently the two were in Kiku's room getting ready for bed.
Yao took off his shirt to reveal a deep scar running across his back.
Kiku couldn't help but stare.
'I did that. It's because of me. I hurt Yao…'
He looked away, embarrassed, when Yao glanced at him.
"Why…"
Yao turns to face him.
"How.."
Yao waits patiently for him to find the right words.
"..Can you love a monster like me?"
Yao stays silent for a moment.
"Aren't we all monsters at some time or other? It's almost part of being a nation aru.."
"But few must have been as brutal as me.."
"Kiku, all that's in the past now. Shouldn't our focus be towards the future?"
"Says the person who keeps reminiscing about the past," says Kiku as a half-hearted joke.
"Ah.. But those are different aru. Those are fond memories. Remember that time you drew a picture of me when you were little?" says Yao with a grin.
Kiku's cheeks turn a little pink and Yao finds this perfectly endearing.
He goes and sits beside Kiku, stroking said flushed cheeks, causing them to redden even further and an even bigger grin to spread across Yao's face.
"And the westernization? Meiji restoration? You weren't happy about that were you?" asked Kiku, tilting his head.
"..No," answered Yao truthfully, "I would be lying if I said I hadn't wanted things to remain exactly as they were."
"But.. its very hard to progress in isolation without any trade whatsoever," he continued, "And I really am proud of how strong you became.. "
Yao paused.
'Even though I'd hoped you'd do better things with that power'
Kiku heard the words even though they were not spoken.
"..What I mean to say is, modernization is important, and.. I don't mind your western friends as much either. As long as you're happy, its fine."
"But… I still don't understand.. Why?"
Kiku still refused to look him in the eyes.
Yao gently turned Kiku's face so that he was now facing him.
"Because its in the past and it is something we can't change,"
A kiss on the cheek.
"Because we can make the future much more beautiful instead,"
A kiss on the other cheek.
"Because you honestly regret all the harm that you have done,"
A kiss on one eyelid.
"Because I still want to look at the moon with you,"
A kiss on the other eyelid.
"Because, whatever you do, I will never be able to truly hate you,"
A kiss on the forehead.
"And because I love you."
Yao finally kissed Kiku on the lips.
When they broke apart for air Kiku curled up next to Yao.
"I love you too," he whispered.
Always have and Always will
