Author's Note: I'm really struggling with coming up with date ideas for them, so in the mean time I've managed to write a drabble-like thing with Ivan having the same problem...

Disclaimer (Dark Side of the Moon): I think we all know what Hetalia would be like if I did own it... Kiku would have some very... interesting relationships. Since he does not have those relationships, it's clear to see I don't own Hetalia.


Russia scratched his neck, looking at the phone. He had to come up with a date before calling Kiku… He pouted. He was already missing his friend and he had only been gone for a day. The tall man stood, leaving his office and going to his bedroom to get his laptop for some ideas. He pulled up his usual search engine, quickly typing in 'How to make the perfect date,' and hitting the enter key.

He stared at the screen hopefully. There were a lot of results, so that had to be a good thing, right? He frowned slightly. Kiku wasn't a girl, so maybe he should look up a date plan for two men.

After typing something he probably shouldn't have and seeing the results for images, Ivan turned a dark red, clicking the back button. He stared at the frozen screen. "Is that what I'm… expected to do?" He took his vest off, feeling a little too warm. "I don't think that is possible…"

Finally, the page returned to his previous results, and he decided Kiku was girlish enough that he could just make a few tweaks here and there to whatever date plan to make it perfect. Because that's what it had to be; perfection; Japan was only giving him the one chance. He clicked on the WikiHow, looking over the options carefully.

"Huh…? Where am I going to get horses at this time of year!?" Okay, so the horseback riding was a no. African dancing? Uh… He wasn't sure if Kiku was the dancing type… although it would be fun… He scrolled down the page some more, pausing when some real advice showed up. "If he's a quiet person… dinner at home? Oh, but I've already had dinner with him at my house…" Russia bit his lip lightly. "Perhaps I need someone that's actually able to talk about… romance…"

His initial first thought was something along the lines of France, but he vetoed it when he realized that he would probably give some bad advice along with the good. He thought it over, exiting the page he was on and opening another to check his email for his contacts. He needed someone that was close to Japan.

"Oh! He will work!"


Okay, so guys and gals, this is where I really need your help! Who did Ivan decide to talk to, and what are they going to suggest!

You get to decide! Either PM me or just leave a comment in a review, please and thank you.
