Chapter 12

Ivan was relieved when they finally went out of the market. In the end, Yao only decided to buy a blanket to keep him warm from the cold in their room (anyway, according to him). Plus, China spent much less time there than what Ivan expected him to, which was a really great thing.

"Aww, kitty-chan is so cute aru!" The Chinese said quietly to himself, looking at his blanket of Kitty-chan. He was sure that it would keep him completely warm during the night.

"I guess we can sit here while we eat our snacks da?" Ivan proposed, sitting on a bench that was facing the ocean.

"Ha, you are right!" China answered, he completely forgot about his snacks.

"Look Yao-Yao! I bought a special snack for you~"The blond said, showing the other the snack he bought.

"Ice cream?"

"Just for the two of us da? It will certainly fill our stomachs until we return home."

Well, Yao had to admit that it was a logical suggestion…

"Thanks, but I don't feel like eating Ice cream. I brought my own snacks aru."The Chinese replied politely, taking his own snacks from the bag.

"But look, it's something you will like~"Ivan announced in chime taking a specific ice cream out of the box.

"Kitty-chan?" Yao couldn't believe it. It was a small ice cream in the shape of the cat's face. Where did Ivan found this and how come he didn't saw such things before?

"It's so cute! I didn't even saw any of those!"Yao answered trying to hide his shocked tone. He took the ice cream delicately, like if it was a fragile object.

"It was when you were obsessed with your kitty-chan stuff!" Ivan commented bluntly with a small smirk.

"AIYAA!" China expressed flustered by this remark. Maybe he did exaggerate a little, (only a little!) when it came to Kitty-chan, but it didn't mean he was obsessed…well, not obsessed like everyone said he was.

"You should eat it before it melts da?"Ivan suggested chuckling because of Yao's amusing expression.

With a little sigh, the smaller nation decided to follow the other's suggestion. Soon, the sound of the waves of the ocean was the only thing they could hear.

"Ivan...Thank you for the Ice cream" Yao finally said rather quietly. Fortunately, Ivan perfectly heard this.

"…and also thank you for accepting to go to the market for my sister aru. I never thought you would accept it."Yao added, trying to avoid looking at the Russian.

"You are welcomed Yao-Yao…."Ivan answered, happy to hear that Yao was appreciating his behaviour. "Why did you think I wouldn't accept it da?"He quickly added with a hint of shock on his voice.

"I thought you wanted to go to the beach aru."

"I did, but as long as we spend some time together I'm happy."

"Well, I'm happy too aru."Yao confirmed.

Well, Ivan really liked this sentence! Yao was happy to spend time with him? So Yao did liked his day as much as he liked it. It was a good sign!

"You do?"

"Sure. I like when you are kind like this."

"Really? Why?"

Yao looked blankly at the other; he thought that this was such a strange question…

"…Because …" The dark haired man finally replied, deciding to conclude the conversation because it was starting to become strange. Plus, he wanted to finish his ice cream before it melt.

This was a short answer, but it was enough for the Russian. He was actually glad of seeing that things were great between them. Not only China seemed like he was enjoying their date, but he was also complimenting on his behaviour. That means Yao liked to be with him and thus his chances of being more than friends with the Chinese were increasing. It was perfect!

Even if his date had unexpected turns (such as uninvited guests), it was still an enjoyable and nice date. But now, Ivan truly was looking forward for what was coming next. He couldn't hide how he was eager for their kiss. Russia was absolutely sure that Yao and he would kiss; after all, every date ended up with a kiss, right? And for Ivan, this was the most important part of a date.

Ivan looked at the sunset and the ocean. Presently, there was the perfect atmosphere. He couldn't have thought better for his first kiss with Yao. But, he had to go slowly to achieve his goal, because if he didn't, it would only scare away shy little Yao. That was also the most difficult part for Russia, because he didn't knew how in the world he could keep on being so patient when Yao was always acting so cute and seductive in front of him. It was like if Yao was secretly tempting him.

Ivan rapidly glanced at the Chinese, who was next to him, to see if he could get slowly and subtly closer to the other. However, his entire mind stopped thinking when he saw Yao sucking and licking his ice cream…He never thought that watching someone eating an ice cream (in form of a cartoon character for little girls) could be so hot.

Now it was obvious for Ivan, his little Yao was tempting him!

"Aiyaa, what is wrong aru?" China asked, anxious to see the Russian blushing and staring at him in awe.

On the other hand, Ivan didn't even answered; he actually didn't know what to do, but he knew that he absolutely wanted to kiss Yao, right now!

The Asian was completely oblivious to what in the world the other nation was doing, so he let Ivan came closer to him, thinking that the Russian wanted to ask something. Though, Ivan gladly took this as a sign to continue with his plan; he came closer to Yao's face and especially the other's lips. Rapidly, the Chinese's face became red like a tomato, realising that Ivan didn't seem like he was about to ask for something.

Was Ivan really going to kiss him? What he was supposed to do? Should he push him? Or punch him? For some reason, Yao could feel his heart skipping a lot of beats.

"ANIKI!"

In less than 5 seconds, Ivan who was originally supposed to kiss Yao ended up with his face on the ground….

"AIYAA!" Yao snapped not understanding what in the world just happened.

Only a few seconds ago, Ivan was practically on him and now the Russian was on the ground. In addition to that, his brother, who seemingly appeared from nowhere, was hugging him like if he was about to die. Plus, he realised that his kitty-chan Ice-cream wasn't in his hand anymore. What in the world was going on?

"Aniki! Thanks God, I finally saved and found you!" The Korean exclaimed relieved.

"AIYAA! Yong! What are you doing here aru?"Yao inquired still astonished with everything that recently happened.

"Are you okay, did he hurt you da-zee?" Korea questioned, hugging his Aniki even stronger.

"W-what?"

Yao was utterly confused with what his younger brother was asking. Why would he be hurt? And why did Yong seemed so anxious and panicked?

However, before Yao could even ask one question, he noticed that there was something slightly more important that he should be paying more attention to…

"Kolkolkolkol~"

Apparently, Ivan didn't liked what just happened. The Russian didn't seem happy at all with the fact that Korea interrupted the most important part of their date and that he was hugging China.

Unfortunately, the Korean was too revolted to notice the danger that was right in front of him and simply ignored Ivan's temper.

"You! Get away from my Aniki! I perfectly know what you are scheming!" Yong shouted pointing his finger at the Russian.

"Kolkolkolkolkol! Shut up!"Ivan snapped at the other, he wanted to call him names, but he thought that a beat up from his pipe would make him feel better for now.

"IVAN!" Yao screamed at the Russian with a stern tone.

It didn't take long for Ivan to stop with his intentions; he was so anger at the Korean that he forgot that Yong was actually Yao's sibling. He had a feeling that China wouldn't probably be happy with his plan to kill Yong.

"Your face is full of ice cream aru!" The Chinese pointed out blankly; it was probably not the time, but for some reason Yao was surprised that Ivan didn't realised it…he somehow looked ridiculous…

"Ha?" It was the only answer Russia could think of saying … he was expecting Yao to scold him for wanting to hurt his brother, but instead his date only pointed out something truly random…

Ivan put his hands on his face to realise that it was true; he had ice cream all over his face…

"Oops." He commented with a shy smile while softly blushing; he was a little embarrassed to look like this in front of Yao. In contrast, he completely forgot about Korea's recent interference that made him anger.

"I think you need napkins aru." Yao said with a small sigh, he simply didn't want to admit how funny this scene was.

Trying all he could to not laugh, he unconsciously took a napkin to clean the other's face. Unknown to him, Ivan was actually enjoying this; he was sure they looked like a couple.

And this was exactly what Yong was thinking, only that, unlike Russia, he truly wasn't appreciating what he was seeing. Why was his brother so kind to the person who was going to take advantage of him? Plus, it seemed like they were completely ignoring him!

"What? NO!NOO! JUST, NO!" He shouted and quickly pulled his aniki away from the blond nation. "Get away from him you big nosed Russia!"

"Aiyaa! Yong what is wrong with you aru?" The older Asian asked, thinking that his sibling was acting very strange.

"It's okay aniki no need to pretend, you can admit it…I am there for you…"The Korean reassured patting China's back.

"…Yong Soo….what in the world are you talking about?"The older demanded. He was used to Korea sometimes making a drama out of things, but he never remembered seeing his younger sibling acting this strangely.

"Aniki I am not blind da-zee. I know that Russia is blackmailing you to get into your pants. I saw how he was taking advantage of you, but don't worry! I am going to protect you!"

"…"

There was a very long silence.

"WHAT?" Yao asked astonished to hear such things.

Yao rapidly glanced at Ivan to see that the other was blushing and had a little amused smile.

"Look at him, he is blushing and smiling!"Korea declared accusing the other of having perverted plans.

"…No! Yao don't believe him!"The tall one quickly replied, hoping that his crush wouldn't believe such things. It was true that he had, once or twice, thought of doing some stuff with Yao, but that really wasn't his intention when he intended to kiss Yao. And, he was absolutely not blackmailing him!

"Believe me aniki!"

Korea was sure that his brother would believe him easily, unfortunately he received an answer he wasn't expecting: a punch on the arm from Yao.

"Aiyaa what is wrong with you Yong Soo!" Yao scolded his younger brother, embarrassed to hear the other saying such shameful things. "W-we weren't doing anything of the such! Seriously, what makes you think of such perverted things aru! These are dishonourable thoughts! I did not raise you to think like this aru!" China added frustrated.

"I'm sorry Aniki!" Yong whined, he never liked to be scolded by the old Chinese, especially because sometimes China could go on and on for what seemed like hours. "But Aniki, he is suspicious da-zee! Really suspicious! Wasn't he about to kiss you right now?" Yong used to excuse his "shameful" behaviour.

"Aiyaa! W-what? N-no! Stop saying foolishness aru! We were only eating ice cream!"Yao replied awkwardly. Now that he remembered, it did look like this was actually Ivan's plan. What would have happened if his young sibling didn't come from nowhere?

"Kolkolkolkol~ Maybe Korea should leave now da?"Ivan proposed with a bitter tone. Korea had already ruined most of his good moment in less than 30 minutes, it was about time that idiot goes away to leave him alone with Yao.

"No way! I am not leaving you two alone!" Yong announced, anxious with the thought of leaving China and Russia together alone again.

"Aiyaa why?" Yao asked astonished with Korea's decision. He had this really bad feeling that things would get complicated.

"You act very strangely when you are with him, aniki." This remark somehow embarrassed Yao.

"What? No, I don't! You are the one who is acting very strangely!"

"It's not a reason. I am not letting you two alone anymore! I am doing this to help you aniki."

"If you really want to help me with something, just help me with bringing some bags aru…"Yao sighed, deciding to quit arguing. He was too tired and he was about to lose his patience. He only wanted to go home, eat and rest.

"Okay!"

The Korean took some of his brother's bags and led the group. While Yong was happily walking in the front, Ivan and Yao were following him behind, walking, step by step, a little slower to be far from Korea.

"I am sorry about my brother aru."Yao said quietly to the Russian. It was obvious that Ivan seemed really upset with how things turned out to be.

"Don't worry Yao-Yao. I only hoped we would have a little more alone time together again da?" Ivan answered with a forced smile, even though he only wanted to murder the sibling, he didn't want Yao to feel bad for something he wasn't the cause.

"A-alone? Time? Why?"Yao stuttered.

"Your brother is freaking annoying da?" Ivan commented bitterly, giving a dark glare to the Korean in front of them.

"Aiyaa …"

He knew it was going to end badly, this only confirmed his feeling. Now he was worried how he was supposed to manage with keeping Ivan happy, Korea reassured, passing time with his siblings and being relax all at the same time. These vacations were starting to be a lot more complex than his work.

"Yao-Yao don't be sad." Ivan added hastily, seeing that the Chinese suddenly seemed to be gloomy. "We are going to have our alone time together later." The tall blond gave a small wink to the other, thinking that this was the reason why his little sunflower was upset.

"W-what?"Yao replied blushing because of the other's comment.

"What are you doing?"Korea snapped, finally realising that the two other nations were way behind him and whispering.

"Speaking aru! Don't tell me we can't speak either?" The older Asian said with a tired voice.

"Of course you can…just not when I am not around, that's all!"Korea pointed out, putting himself between to two. Of course, this didn't help Russia's anger, which Yong was completely ignoring.

"Hey, did you know that scarves originated from Korea da-zee." The other said, noticing the Russian's long scarf.

"No, they don't. Don't touch!" Ivan harshly snapped Korea's hand off of his precious scarf.

"Okay! Looks like rudeness originated from Russia."The Korean stated with a childlike tone.

"Yao-Yao, please, can I beat your brother to death da?"

"HAAAA! Aniki don't let him punch me!"

Yao sighed, this was really awful. He couldn't wait to arrive home. Unfortunately, it looked like this was going to be a very long walk…

For some reason, I had so much fun with writing this chapter ha ha xD I made Korea look like a too much over protective brother lol ^^; Hope you guys enjoyed reading it as much as I did to write it xD
