A/N: LOOK SUPER QUICK FILLER CHAPTER IN IVAN'S POV THAT TAKES PLACE THE NIGHT BEFORE THEY GO TO THE WATER PARK


" Are you sure you want to use one of your vacation days to go to a silly water park, Katyusha?" Natalia asked, sitting down at the kitchen table. " It's not just a silly water park, Natalia, it's the first time we're getting the chance to go to one! Plus, it does sound like fun, and I've been in need of a day off." Katyusha replied, sitting a glass of cola beside of Ivan. " Thank you." Ivan said, taking a sip. He wanted to go, because it really did sound like fun. And the way Alfred talked about it, it must be worth it. He sounded so happy and excited that it was nearly impossible to deny him. Ivan nearly choked on his soda as he realized what he was thinking.

" Ivan, are you okay?" Katyusha asked, patting his back. " Y-yes... I'm alright, just got choked a bit." He said, standing up. " Anyway, I think it'd be fun to go and have some time for ourselves." Katyusha said, and Ivan nodded. " Yes, I want to go." He said, then walked off to his room.

Why did this have to happen to him? He was happy that Alfred had offered to tutor him in the first place, then he was really happy that Alfred would be his first friend here, and now... Ivan sighed and flopped back onto his bed. " I don't want to like him like this..." He whispered, and rolled onto his side. He had developed a crush on Alfred a week before, and he knew if the other ever found out, he would never look at him the same again.

Ivan groaned. " What's wrong, Ivan?" Katyusha asked, standing in the doorway of his bedroom. Ivan tensed, then sighed. " Well... I like Alfred." He said, and Katyusha smiled. " We all like Alfred, what's wrong with that?" She asked, and Ivan shook his head. " No, I like Alfred." He said, putting emphasis on the 'like'. Katyusha sighed. " I know what you mean, Ivan... I was hoping you'd try and work this out for yourself. What do you think you should do?" She asked, sitting beside of Ivan on his bed. Ivan shrugged. " I don't know... I don't want to tell him, because he's so obviously straight..." he said. " I don't know... I've seen the way he is around you. He always looks happiest when he's with you. Maybe he likes you, too. He may not realize it, but there's a chance." Katyusha said.

Ivan bit his lip. It could be true... but he didn't want to take any chances. He didn't want to lose his only friend. " I believe you, Katyusha, but I still think it'd be best to keep it from him until I'm for certain." He said, and Katyusha nodded. " I respect your decision, Ivan. Now, get some sleep. You'll need your energy tomorrow." She said, and kissed Ivan's forehead. " Good night, Katyusha. Tell Natalia I said good night, as well." He said, and Katyusha smiled. " I will. Good night Ivan."

As she walked out, she cut Ivan's light out and shut the door halfway, leaving him to get changed and go to sleep. Ivan stripped down to his boxers and covered up, sighing. He really liked Alfred... but he liked having him as a friend, too. Oh well, he was too tired to think about this right now. He closed his eyes and got comfortable, then fell asleep.


A/N: Like I said, short. Like, this isn't even 1000 words x'D But we needed Ivan's thoughts on things, as well, so... yeah.
