A/N: Requested by rechanxramenxlover
Oh gosh has it been that long since I've updated this?
I am so sorry…
So this the long awaited Russia chapter. I had a bit of a hard time writing this because of trying to find something that might fit his personality, I feel this is slightly OOC.
Characters might be OOC.
I do not own Hetalia. I do own the storyline.
I hope you enjoy it!
Summary:
He always seemed to be there in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you wished he wasn't because it clearly was too much of a coincidence, and how was that considered a greeting!?
Human names used. AU.
ReaderxIvan(Russia)
You had seen him around a lot. It was kind of hard to miss someone as tall as him and he was always wearing a scarf even when the weather clearly was not meant for it.
He had caught your attention the first time was the summer of last year when he had walked past the cafe you were in. A rather tall man wearing a scarf in the middle of summer! Who wouldn't look and find it strange. The next time you saw him was on your way home from shopping, as you were getting off the bus you looked up across the road and there he was sitting at the opposite stop. The odd thing about that time was you swore he was staring straight at you, your heart had leapt up to your throat when your [eye colour] eyes had locked with his violet eyes for only a mere second. You had quickly broken eye contact and sped walked all the way home. There had been a few more encounters but you had assumed that he just lived around the area, there wasn't anything strange about seeing someone a few times.
On the way home you looked down, in deep thought, as you walked; you didn't notice that the crossing lights had already turned red. Just as you were about to take another step forward, someone had grabbed your arm pulling you back with great force. The sudden feeling of falling and the loud beeping of a car horn snapped you out of your thoughts. With a thump you fell back on something rather soft, to your surprise.
Your heart was beating like there was no tomorrow, you swore everyone in the vicinity could hear it. Noticing a hand still around your arm you looked up to see your saviour, a similar face smiling down at you. You couldn't hold the blush that danced across your cheeks from the embarrassment. Out of all the people why did it have to be him that saved you.
"Are you alright?" he asked as he slowly helped you up, hand still firmly on your arm. You couldn't help but pick up on his rather strong Russian accent.
"O-Oh! Yes! I'm fine. Perfectly fine!" you quickly said as you sturdied yourself trying to pry your arm from his grip, "Thank you very much…um it's okay to let go now" you finished in a panic. He looked down at his hand and slowly loosened his grip and watched as you wriggled your arm out. He mumbled something, though you didn't catch it as you were collecting your thoughts.
"Thanks again," you said this time with a smile, "Um…" you were trying to think of a way to thank him but nothing was coming to mind. You heard him chuckle slightly, causing you to look up at his face again.
"You're welcome," sticking out his hand as he continued, "Ivan. Ivan Braginsky," he said smiling back. It was so obvious that he wanted you to shake hands with him. You fumbled a bit, still in shock as you gripped his hand.
"I'm [Your full name], nice to mee-" before you could even finish your sentence he had pulled you in and planted a small kiss on your lips. Your eyes widened and your senses were screaming. Even though it was a small peck that lasted for not even a second it seemed enough to make your blood rush to your face. He pulled away still smiling down at you.
You quickly pulled your hand away putting it across your mouth, slightly guarding it, though that seemed a little late to be doing now.
"Y-You! W-W-What do you think you're doing!?" you stuttered out, using your other hand to point at him accusingly. There was a small chuckle and a slight shrug of his as he began to take a few steps forward. In a panic you took a few steps back, a bit too fast, and tripped over your own feet. Readying yourself for the impact you closed your eyes, but it never came. Ivan had reached out and caught you for the second time today. Pulling you towards himself you braced yourself by turning your head away, you weren't going to let that happen again.
"You shouldn't be so worried, that was only a greeting," he whispered in your ear. He had said it like it was something that he did all the time. Without much of a thought you yanked free from his grip, mumbled a thank you and ran across the street and all the way home. You really didn't want to see him ever again.
But nothing seemed to be going like you wanted. He was there, the next day, smiling and waving at you in front of your school gates. You convinced yourself he was looking at someone else as you quickly walked past him, avoiding all means of contact. Failing miserably as you felt him grab your wrist and pull you back.
"Are you ignoring me [Your name]?" he asked as he forcibly turned you to face him, "You shouldn't ignore your friends like that."
You looked up, eyes wide. "Friends? When did we become friends?" you snapped at him. Now looking at him straight in the eyes, you couldn't help but notice something rather scary flash in his violet orbs though in the heat of the moment ignored it. His gentle smile quickly plastered on his face as a reply to your heated question. Before you could say anymore you heard someone call your name, turning around in response you were faced with one of your classmates with a concerned look on his face.
"Hey [Your name] are you okay?" he asked, worry clearly written on his face. His eyes darted from you, to Ivan and then to Ivan's hand that had somehow crept onto your shoulder.
"Ah, well I-" you began to reply until you felt Ivan's hand slightly squeeze your shoulder, this alerting you that it was there in the first place. You quickly looked up at him with a glare in your eyes, just as you did so your lips collided together in a quick kiss, just like the first one. He quickly pulled away with his usual gentle smile now looking at your classmate's shocked face, pulling you in closer to him in the process.
"As you can see we're just fine," he said smiling. Your classmate could barely stutter out a word. "So I suggest that you carry on with your own business…okay?" Ivan finished. A slight dangerous tone could be detected in his last sentence and his gentle smile didn't help at all. You for one, didn't notice as the embarrassment of being kissed like that again had taken over your thoughts.
You heard rather fast footsteps receding, looking up you watched your classmate run. Finally noticing your position you pushed away from Ivan.
"You. Don't come any closer," as you moved to the other
side of the rather wide footpath. "Stop with the kissing too! That's sexual harassment!" you shouted. It didn't faze him at all. Clearly not listening to you, Ivan started to walk slowly towards you because his one step matched two of yours. Eventually you were chased to the edge where the footpath met the road.
"I already told you [Your name]," he said as he reached out and touched some of your [hair length] hair gently "it's a greeting." Smiling down at you.
It wasn't a greeting at all! Puffing out your cheeks slightly, you readied yourself as you pushed him away and bolted down the street. You could clearly hear him chasing after you, but at this moment you didn't care.
This happened on a daily occurrence. He was there ready to 'greet' you with that same smile on his face and you were ready to flee when the opportunity appeared though in the end he always caught you. Ending up with him walking with you to your destination with an arm on your shoulder. Sometimes you couldn't help but feel a shiver run up your spine, like something terrifying was happening but you didn't know where. Sometimes it felt like it was next to you and other times it was as if someone was staring holes into your head.
