Ivan woke the next day to warmth at his side and his memory flooded back with a pleased smile. He glanced at the clock nearby and noticed that they still had a couple of hours before they needed to leave so Ivan lingered in bed and let Alfred sleep.

Alfred moved a bit, pulling up the very comfortable blanket up more on the man and himself. He rubbed his chest a bit, holding on to him. He wasn't waking up yet.
At 11:00 AM Alfred slowly opened his eyes, moving a bit. When he felt the warm next to him, he moved a bit with a smile "…Good morning…"

"Good morning…" Ivan replied to the sleep dazed eyes.

Alfred rubbed his chest slowly. He looked up at him "How did you sleep?" he whispered.

"Better than I have in quite a while. What about you?" Ivan asked quietly.

Alfred smiled, kissing his lips sleepily. He rubbed his chest slowly. "…I slept amazingly…" he looked at his clock, smiling. "We have an hour to shower too…hmm…"

"Are you sore?" Ivan asked, wanting to know how much damage had been done.

Alfred moved, sitting up "AH! Yes…oh man…" he rubbed his lower back. "Man…ah…just in my lower back…I think I can walk though…"

"A hot shower might help…" Ivan stood beside the bed and stretched before glancing over at Alfred and extending a hand to help him up.

Alfred reached up and stood, a grunt slipping out as his muscle protested. He walked with a smile over to the shower with his lover "…You look well rested."

"And you…" he glanced at the marks and blossoming bruises covering Alfred "…look well fucked" Ivan said with a small laugh as he started the shower and they both got in.

Alfred looked up at him, blushing. He rubbed up his arms, enjoying the shower "This…is nice…"

Ivan smiled at the blush and settled one of his arms across Alfred's lower back "It really is…and to think…my roommates are to thank for getting us together so quickly…"

Alfred smiled, rubbing his chest "…You are my hero…saving me from them…" he kissed his lips.

"It was my fault in the first place that they were there, I should have picked a more private location but I didn't want you to feel odd being in my room alone with me…wasn't sure if you would think I was using drawing as an excuse to come on to you…"

Alfred giggled "I never thought that…you are too sweet. I knew you wouldn't do anything unless I gave you the ok…" he kissed his neck gently.

Ivan laughed a bit "Ah, but maybe you don't know me…" he smirked darkly and his arm tightened around Alfred "maybe I'm just as dark and twisted as my reputation…"

Alfred looked at him, smirking "Hmm…I wouldn't mind…You are even sexier with a dark side…I wouldn't mind as long as I had you…" he kissed his lips.

Ivan loosened his grip and smiled into the kiss, allowing it to go on for a few moments before pulling away "Be careful of the company you keep, lest you find a viper in your bed…" he teased with a small nip along the carotid artery in his neck.

"I am hoping you being in bed with me for a while will keep the vipers at bay…" he kissed his lips.

Ivan just returned the kiss and grabbed the soap before getting started on washing away any remains of the previous night.

Alfred closed his eyes, letting Ivan wash him "…Hmm lunch on me today before we leave? I can cook…"

"If you would like, or we can go out and eat" Ivan offered, leading Alfred under the spray to rinse the suds.

Alfred smiled, holding on to his biceps as he closed his eyes "…Up to you… Happy Valentine's Day by the way…" He leaned up, kissing his lips "…Is there something wrong…?"

"Happy Valentine's Day" Ivan said with a smile "and no, there's nothing wrong…" his head tilted a bit at the odd question. "Hm, giving the time it may be best to have something here as you pack."

Alfred nodded, rubbing his chest. "How long will you be gone? I don't want your roommates coming in…while you are gone…" he was excited about going to a concert. No one had really taken him out.

Ivan smiled "Only a moment, I just have to change and grab my bag, I packed yesterday."

"Good…it will be ok then I just need to pack your surprise…" he kissed his lips.

Ivan smiled at the mention of the surprise "I'm looking forward to it…almost as much as I'm looking forward to sleeping next to you again."

Alfred smiled, rubbing his chest again "Good…I made sure to get a comfortable bed…no one but you has slept in my bed…well other than me…" he laughed.

"I'm honored" Ivan said and finished up in the shower "now how about you pack whatever you need and I'll go get my things."

Alfred nodded, kissing his lips again as he got out of the shower. He limped into his room, getting dressed in black skinny jeans, old band t-shirt, and Converse shoes. He walked to his bag and started packing. He would wait until Ivan was gone to pack his surprised.

"I'll be back in a few minutes…" Ivan said before leaving for his room. He arrived and the place was thankfully empty. He entered his room and gathered his things, taking care to grab the little surprise for Alfred. He finished his morning routine and changed before locking up and heading back to Alfred.

Alfred put the surprise in his bag, hiding it. He made his bed, smiling the whole time. He walked to the kitchen, back to the door as he started cooking some lunch for the two of them.

Ivan knocked twice before entering "Smells wonderful…" he said with a smile, finding Alfred in the kitchen.

Alfred smiled, cooking "Thank you…chicken with a bit of spice…with mac n cheese…and rice…all under 20 minutes to make…" he chuckled.

Ivan whistled "Impressive, I'm sure it will taste as good as it smells."

Alfred blushed "…I hope so…" he grabbed two plates and began to put things on it. He finished up in just ten minutes, laying them on his small table with two drinks. "Here…lunch is ready…" he smiled, sitting down beside him.

Ivan sat at the table "Thank you" he grabbed his fork and took the first bite "wonderful job" he said with a smile.

Alfred blushed, smiling. He ran a hand through his hair. He began to eat, happy to please Ivan.

Ivan smiled at the blush but didn't mention it as they both continued eating in a comfortable silence.

Alfred finished and got up, washing his dish thoroughly as he swayed subconsciously to the song in he head.

Ivan finished and saw his chance. He silently stood and walked over to Alfred, wrapping his arms around him "You must stop leaving yourself so open like this…"

Alfred shivered, leaning back into his embrace "…Hmm why? When I'm open…you come over…" he looked back at his Russian, rubbing his hands over Ivan's.

"Of course, you are far too tempting when you've dropped your guard" the Russian teased with a playful smirk.

Alfred rubbed up his arms as he leaned back, looking up at him "Am I?" he locked eyes with him.

Ivan chuckled "You know very well that you are…" he replied as he stared into the sapphire eyes with his own matching amethyst.

Alfred giggled gently. He leaned more into him before leaning up and kissing his lips gently. "Just for you… Not many people get me cooking for them or even in here…you must be something…" he smiled, rubbing the arms cradling him.

"Something indeed to have won you over" Ivan turned him around and kissed him again, able to deepen the kiss from this angle.

Alfred opened his mouth, sucking on his neck. He rubbed his arms slowly and gently as his lips moved slowly with his.

Ivan pushed into the touch for a moment before pulling away "Can't be playing around if we want to leave on time…"

Alfred smiled, nodding. He turned in his arms, kissing him deeply before breaking and walking over to his bag "Alright, I am ready..."

Ivan grabbed his things by the door and when Alfred had joined him they left for Ivan's truck. Once they had arrived they tossed their things in the back seat and got in, starting their road trip.

Alfred relaxed in the seat next to Ivan. "So who are we seeing?" he asked, playing with the strings on his hoody.

"It's a mix of bands; A Perfect Circle, Type O Negative, and Otep. Have you heard of them?" Ivan asked.

Alfred nodded, smiling "Many times…I love their music…" he continued to play with his strings. "Were you going to go to this alone?" He asked, sad at the thought.

"I was but it has never bothered me" Ivan added with a smile at Alfred's sad tone.

Alfred reached over and took his hand "I'll go with you…I don't like the thought of you being alone…"

Ivan chuckled but held his hand "You don't have to worry about me."

"Too late…" he whispered, blushing "…I already do…so… how did you…find out about these bands?"

Ivan shook his head with a smile but didn't address it further "As most people do, youtube."

Alfred nodded, continuing to hold his hand "…That is true…youtube is very helpful…I have all my songs on there…playlist…"

"Me too, organized by group and mood."

Alfred laughed "That is nuts…I do the same thing!" he smiled. "I thought I was the only one…"

Ivan smiled and glanced at him for a moment "Really? Though I suppose I shouldn't be surprised after hearing that we share the same music…"

Alfred laughed "True…" he rubbed his hand gently.

Ivan stroked Alfred's hand with his thumb and continued driving.

Alfred fell asleep on the way, his head on Ivan's shoulder. He made some noises but other than that he slept.

Ivan had long retrieved his hand so he could better focus and found it adorable that Alfred still fell asleep during car rides despite his age. After a long drive they finally arrived at the hotel. Ivan parked and looked over to Alfred who was still sleeping soundly. He tapped him on the cheek "Alfred? We're here."

Alfred opened his eyes gently, sitting up. He rubbed his eyes "Ah…wow…that didn't take long…" he smiled, looking at Ivan "…how are you?"

"I'm alright, happy to have a chance to stretch my legs. How did you sleep?" he asked as he pulled their things out of the back.

Alfred got out, stretching "Great, made my head feel better and I'm happy to finally be here" he walked over to the man. "Want me to help carry things in?"

"Good" Ivan said with a smile "I can handle it unless you just want to carry something?"

Alfred blushed a bit "Ah…I can just get the door for you and such…" He walked with Ivan inside the building, getting the key to their room. He walked up to the fifth floor and opened the door, smiling a bit. "Nice room…" he chuckled at how nice the room honestly was.

Ivan set their things down and glanced around, everything was just like the description "Glad you approve, wait until you see the bedroom" he said with a smile.

Alfred blushed a bit, taking Ivan's hand and pulling him to the bedroom. "WOW! You weren't joking!" he smiled at the beautiful room and very comfortable looking bed.

Ivan chuckled "Of course, you're not the only one that values comfort. We still have a couple of hours before the concert is there anything you want to do?"

Alfred looked at his lover "Would you like your Valentine's gift now or later?"

Ivan raised his brow with a smirk "Mmm I assume it'll kill some time" he chuckled "Now and I can treat you to yours after the concert…"

"Go get on the bed, I'll be right back…" He smirked and walked to the bathroom with his bag, closing the door. He took off all his clothes and pulled on the black thong with white lace trim and mid-thigh leggings with matching lace ruffles on top. Once everything else was adjusted he put on a black corset with white piping that started right below his chest to complete the set.

Ivan stripped off his jacket and scarf, folding both and set them on the table beside the bed as he waited for Alfred. It took a fair bit longer than he thought it would and after a couple of minutes Ivan was itching to know what was going on behind the door. He heard the slipping of cloth but, as promising as that was, it didn't satisfy the growing anticipation.

Alfred opened the bathroom door, leaning against the fame of the door. He smirked at Ivan and let out a small moan while biting his lower lip, showing Ivan his Valentine's gift.

Ivan's eyes widened in surprise, he had thought it would be something like this but his imagination did not do it justice, he found himself already getting hard and Alfred hadn't even touched him yet.

Alfred smiled, biting his lip "…Hmm…like what you see big boy?" he rubbed up his own body, giving Ivan a show.

"You pull it off better than any else could…" he said as he propped himself up higher to get a better view of the little performance.

Alfred smiled, spinning around so Ivan saw everything. He walked to the man, slowly climbing on him "Don't touch…yet… Would you like a lap dance?"

Ivan chuckled nodded "Such a tease…"

Alfred smirked, grabbing his iPod, he put on a beat that was very sexual. He walked over and gently sat on his lap. "Hmm you are already getting hard…" He licked his lips as he started to roll his hips.

"Who wouldn't be with you dressed like this" he leaned back on his hands, half to relax and half to keep them under control. He watched Alfred as he moved against him and bucked a bit to return the tease.

Alfred rubbed up his body, kissing the chest with a smirked. "Teasing me…" he whispered, pushing up his shirt. "Want to touch me?"

"I'm good right here…" Ivan said with a smirk to rival Alfred's as he locked onto the vibrant blues.

Alfred nodded, smirking as he rubbed against his hard member. He leaned down, biting his nipple hard.

Ivan gasped at the treatment, pain shooting through him and adding a twist of spice to the teasing pleasure against his cock.

Alfred leaned back, smirking "Get undressed but leave on your underwear…" he ordered.

Ivan regained his composure, aside from breathing a bit quicker than normal. He decided to go along with it and stood next to the bed, slowly stripping himself of his shirt, careful not to get it caught on his ears and moved to his pants before messily folding them and returning with a smirk to Alfred's side.

Alfred climbed on his lap again, rolling into him. "Hmm…does that feel good?" he whispered, biting his neck roughly.

Ivan closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation, moving into the touch with a breathy "Yes…"

Alfred rubbed his chest, nails included. "…Want to touch me now?" his whispered, biting again.

"Yes" Ivan said firmly as he shifted to free his hand to run it along Alfred's exposed neck to his nipples.

Alfred shivered, rubbing against him. He kissed him deeply and he moved against him roughly. His marks from earlier showing.

Ivan rubbed his fingers against the marks he passed, pressing into the bruises to give Alfred a small taste of pain as he returned the kiss forcefully.

Alfred panted, breaking the kiss as he looked at Ivan "Touch me…"

Ivan ran his hands down Alfred slowly, dragging his nails down to his hips, teasingly close to his cock, before working their way up again.

Alfred shivered "Why are you teasing me so much…" he whispered, biting his lip.

Ivan smirked "It is fun and you make the most arousing movements…" He stopped at the flushed nipples and raised himself while pulling Alfred down to him and sucked a nipple into his mouth as his hand played with the twin.

Alfred gripped his hair, screaming in pleasure as he bucked against him, shivering "Baby…ah…yes…"

Ivan responded in kind, taking the tight grip on his hair as a go-ahead to be rougher.

Alfred shivered, gripping his hair tighter "More…more!"

Ivan ground up against him with his covered cock. He pulled his mouth away and brought his hand down, past the corset to lightly rub at the cock beneath the straining cloth of the thong.

Alfred shivered "Slide…slide in me…" He pulled the thong string out of the way. "Already…prepared…" he held it open for Ivan.

Ivan felt the chill run from Alfred and through him. He grabbed his pants and fished out the tube of lube, it wouldn't hurt to have more. He his boxers and coated his cock before slipping into the tight heat.

Alfred let out a heated moan as he slid down the large member. "There…ah! So good…" he shivered, sitting on his cock.

Ivan held Alfred still with a firm grip on his hips as he let them both get used to the feeling. He took a breath and rolled his hips, grinding the tip of his cock against Alfred's prostate.

Alfred whimpered, trying to get him deeper "Ah…deeper… Please…ah…you feel so good…"

Ivan smiled and loosened his grip, allowing Alfred to sink down the rest of the way and move at his own pace.

Alfred let out a heated moan. He began to lift and slam himself down on the large cock. His back arched as his nails dug into his shoulders. He pushed Ivan back on the bed so he was laying down as he began to ride him like a pro. He tightened around Ivan.

Ivan groaned as Alfred clenched and rode him hard, Ivan rocking into the motions to get impossibly deeper.

Alfred screamed louder when he got deeper "Baby! Ah! Yes! Like that! Thrust more…"

Ivan glanced up into the lust-darkened eyes and tightened his grip again. He helped lift Alfred up only to bring him down with more force than Alfred could on his own.

Alfred let out a loud scream of pleasure as he dug his nails into his shoulder, head back as Ivan pleased him more than any man or woman had. He began to drool.

Ivan felt arousal dig into him even harder as he felt and saw the effect that he had on Alfred. He thrust harder and dug his fingers into the plush skin, surely leaving finger-shaped bruises.

Alfred screamed louder, trying to keep up but Ivan's powerful thrusts just left him with nothing but to take it and enjoy it. He ripped the skin on his chest with his nails.

Ivan hissed as he felt the skin tear and blood run down in tiny rivulets down his chest. His nails stuttered on his ass before catching again, leaving red marks on it.

Alfred shivered, getting very close "Baby…I am getting close…ah…harder…slam into me…deeper…" he begged, drooling more.

Ivan pulled Alfred to the base and flipped their positions, his hands keeping Alfred's hips up as he thrust relentlessly.

Alfred gripped his shoulder's screaming before he finished with a even louder scream, cuming on his stomach and even hitting the bed above his shoulder "VANYA!"

Ivan tensed as Alfred clenched around him. His hands pulled Alfred close and came deep within him with a moan of his name and a series of quick, shallow thrusts. He breathed heavily against Alfred's panting form and kissed him softly.

Alfred kissed him back gently, rubbing his chest "Hmm…" he panted, cuddling into his neck.

Ivan smiled and held him close, not wanting to pull out just yet. He glanced at the clock and saw that they had plenty of time to relax and might be able to go out somewhere but for the moment at least Ivan just wanted the closeness.

Alfred cuddled close, rubbing his chest slowly. He kissed his neck a few times before smiling. "Now look who is cuddly…" he teased.

Ivan turned the slightest bit pink "I'm comfortable with you…"

Alfred giggled, kissing his chest and neck over and over. "Hmm…how do you feel?" he asked, smiling "good gift?"

Ivan chuckled "Yes, very. Hopefully you will enjoy yours just as much tonight…"

Alfred smiled "…Hmmm I wonder what it could be…" he rubbed his large chest more. "Do I get a hint?"

Ivan smiled "Not until you actually see it…but until then, there's still this time and the concert so be patient."

Alfred nodded, chuckling. He laid his chin on his chest, looking up. "Ok…just me and you alone…I like it…and I like that we have our own room…" He began to gently rub his chest "I do say…you're spoiling me."

"And I say with all of the affection that you're spoiling me…" Ivan wrapped his arms around Alfred's lower back and relaxed, enjoying the touch.

Alfred kissed his lips, rubbing his chest "You feel so warm and good…I have to spoil you…I like it…" He chuckled, sitting up a bit to get a better look at Ivan's face and the soft gaze he loved so much "I like waking up next to you…ya know?"

"I do too" Ivan said as he locked eyes with Alfred, feeling something more than simple happiness but not quite being able to place it "I would like to do more of it…how about tomorrow, since the concert ends late, we go out somewhere?"

Alfred smiled, nodding "I would really like that…" His eyes never leaving Ivan's as his hands rubbed his chest.

"I know a few good places to eat if you would like to go out tonight…" Ivan asked hopeful.

Alfred blushed, hiding a bit of his face "Ye-yes…that would be amazing…" he cuddled him more, he had never been asked out on a genuine date.

Ivan smiled "I'm glad you think so, my treat and it can be part of your gift."

Alfred sat up, leaning down as he held his face. He moved his soft lips against the Russian's, loving every minute of being with this man.

Ivan returned the kiss, gently cupping the back of Alfred's head with a large hand.

Alfred rubbed his face slowly, making out with the man he was starting to love. He met the warm kisses with the need to be loved. His hands found their way back to his hair, pressing his body to the other man's.

Ivan rubbed the base of his neck and his back as their bodies pressed together.

Alfred shivered, sliding his tongue into his mouth. He gripped his hair gently as he pulled himself even closer.

Ivan lifted himself a bit, deepening the kiss and pulling Alfred closer with a smile as he played with his tongue.

The American smiled, rubbing back against the studded tongue. He moved higher up his body, hands running along his strong chest and arms before going back up to his hair.

Ivan chuckled as he felt arms run along run over his skin, he pulled away from the warm mouth to speak "How about a shower before the concert"

Alfred smiled, nodding. He gently pulled Ivan out of himself, grunting. "Hmm…come on big boy…" he helped the Russian up before talking off his underwear and corset. He pulled Ivan to the small shower.

Ivan chuckled and shook his head at the comment as he watched Alfred strip before allowing himself to be pulled into the bathroom. He took off his boxers and stepped in, grabbing Alfred and puling him in after and starting the water.

Alfred giggled, holding on to the man. "Hm…this is such a small shower…are you sure this is ok…" he laughed, between the man and the wall.

Ivan smiled "It should be, why would it not be…?" he asked tilting his head a bit.

Alfred smiled, cuddling closer to him as the water ran down them "This is nice…I like this…a lot…being with you…I mean…"

"I do too…" Ivan said, smile still prevalent but he was wondering, with the question, if Alfred was alright being this close to him.

Alfred laid his head in his chest, rubbing it slowly. "I'm really excited about the concert…" he looked up at his with warm blues.

"I'm glad and don't worry about a ticket, I have a spare" Ivan met the blue with his own soft purple eyes.

Alfred smiled, rubbing his chest "I'm so lucky…sure you don't want me to pay you back?"

"Of course not, it would be wasted otherwise" Ivan said lightly.

Alfred nodded, taking it the wrong way "…Ah…ok, why did you buy two?"

"I don't mean anything by this but it was actually for my last lover. It was supposed to be a surprise but I found them with one of my roommates…" Ivan looked away as he finished and ran a wet hand through his hair, making it messy.

Alfred nodded, gently rubbing his chest "It's ok…you don't have to say anymore…" He kissed his chest "I am very honored to be going with such a wonderful man…"

"I am honored to be able to turn it into a happy memory" Ivan said with a smile as he kissed his forehead.

Alfred cuddled into the lips on his head, closing his eyes as he wanted it to last "…I l-…" he stopped himself, hands tightening on his chest.

Ivan tilted his head a bit, wondering if he heard what he thought he heard. He didn't want to assume it so he just answered with a gentle kiss on Alfred's lips, hoping that might help Alfred finish.

Alfred blushed more, rubbing his chest. He leaned more into the kiss before gently breaking it. "…I love you…" he whispered, his face red as his hands moved up to hold the ashen hair.

Ivan went red as he answered back "…I think I love you too…"

Alfred felt his heart stop. His hands dropped, stepping back "…Ah…I-I am clean…I am going to get out…" he stepped out and grabbed a towel, leaving the bathroom and trying to get dressed as fast as he could.

Poor babies, been in Alfred's position myself to some extent but instead I got an "Oh, that's cute" bleh, that's real life issues though, oh well. There's still plenty more to come and I hope you're looking forward to it, feel more than free to leave a comment or send a message I'd love to hear from you!
