Chapter Seven
"Love? Above all things I believe in love! Love is like oxygen! Love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!"
Matthew sighed happily, snuggling closer into Ivan's broad jacket covered chest. They had taken a short walk after dinner, circling a lake and quietly talking of nonsensical things to become more familiar with each other, before taking a seat on a bench across from the body of water.
Matt confessed his fear of being forgotten (Everyone seemed to be unable to see him most of the time, though he admitted in recent years it had only happened occasionally), his overwhelming love for his lands and people, (He was fiercely proud and devoted to them) and his obsession with sports and adrenaline seeking (Any sport, any time).
Ivan quietly admitted his guilt over his actions in the past with the Baltics (Matthew knew much was left unsaid, but did not push), his torn feelings for Belarus (He didn't want to hurt her but just was not interested in her), and his love for gardening (which was near impossible in Russia's climate).
Matt continued to simply breathe in the older man's scent, smile widening as Ivan wrapped an arm around him.
"Say," Matt breathed softly, loathe to break the comfortable air that had taken hold of them.
"Hm?" Ivan questioned contentedly.
"…Can we do this again tomorrow?"
Ivan turned, moving Matt to face him. "I would love to; I'm happy you took the initiative because I was going to ask you the same when I dropped you off at home."
The blond smiled, "What would you like to do after our meeting tomorrow morning?"
The Summit had convened once again to take on the issue of energy efficiency. Most countries till had not outlined a basic plan for increasing their energy policy, so once again, all members had been made to meet up once more in an attempt to remedy that.
Ivan hummed softy, pressing a kiss into Matt's hair. "Let's have breakfast beforehand, and afterwards…" He paused, "Ice skating?" He trailed off uncertainly.
"Oh yes! That sounds perfect- I know just the place that sells the best hot chocolate right across from the rink!"
The tall, intimidating man laughed childishly, "Than I will pick you up in the morning at eight, Дорогая моя. Let's get you home."
Matthew sighed tiredly, "Alright, if you insist."
Ivan grinned wickedly, "If you spent the night with me, you wouldn't be moving anytime soon."
Matt blushed before the sentence was even finished, "Ivan! Must you tease me so?"
"When I'm rewarded with such lovely faces, I can't resist."
Matt snickered, "You sounded like Francis."
Ivan blanched, "Please don't even think of us in the same thought!"
"Yes, yes, whatever mon grand."
The trip home was relatively quick, and the couple quickly found themselves in front of Matthew's four story brick home near the outskirts of Toronto.
Matthew spoke nervously, "Well, thank you for a lovely evening." He fidgeted. He turned, unlocking his front door when he was slammed against the door.
"Iva-!" But he was cut off by a sudden pressure on his lips.
Matt was drowning: sinking into a sea of pure pleasure. Ivan's strong large hands encircled his waist, pulling him closer than Matthew had ever though possible. His lips were tingling from the soft, playful bites they were subjected to. He let out a small whimper when Ivan moved, hands shooting forward to tangle in his coat.
Ivan chuckled huskily, moving towards the younger man's neck; licking, sucking, and gently gnawing on the pale creamy skin before him.
He breathed deeply, attempting to control his desires after Matthew let out a particularly sumptuous moan of his name.
"I will see you tomorrow, Matvey." The Russian choked out, before wrenching himself away from the blond and stalking off into the cool night air.
Matt shuddered, hand reaching up to touch his kiss swollen lips. 'Well….that was…' In the midst of his thought, a smirk came to his face, 'Enjoyable.'
Alfred sighed heavily, absentmindedly munching on his chicken nuggets. 'Why do I have the feeling Prussia is going to be just as much as a problem as that goddamn Commie?' He thought frustrated. Prussia had left after losing sight of Matt; admitting he had ditched his brother and needed to head back.
The glasses wearing blond suddenly snorted, "Please don't tell me you're eating a salad!"
Arthur sniffed, "Well, it is the only healthy menu option here."
"Sacrilege! How can you possibly forsake a Big Mac for a… salad!" Alfred asked horrified.
As they descended into their usual squabble, Francis continued to delicately eat his fish filet, contemplating how he would corner Russia tomorrow with a cruel and unnoticed smirk.
The albino looked at the phone number scrawled on the piece of paper before him wickedly, punching it into his cell phone.
"Hello! Yes, you don't really know me; we've only met briefly, but I have some news about Russia that might pique your interest."
Oh no! Who ever is Prussia talking to?
Shishishishi~
POINTS to whoever knows where that laugh is from! XD
BTW, what Ivan said means, my dearest. And Matt basically called him big guy! :D
PLEASE REVIEW, or Arthur doesn't get his, er, …um….scones? *laugh*
