Because I am Yao, Aru – Chapter Five

Disclaimer: If I owned APH, I'd probably turn it into a pure yaoi show. And tell all the fangirls out there that Ivan, Yao, Im Yong Soo, Ludwig and Gilbert are mine for keeps.

To: Vash-kun and Eli-liza-betha.

= Let The RoChu Begin! =

Yao was sitting boredly in his chair, listening to Francis and Arthur bickering again.
He sighed and put his head in his hands, and was nearly asleep when a heavy hand on his shoulder startled him.
Ludwig was staring at him with shock in his blue eyes, and Yao yawned questioningly.

"Nn? What do you need, aru?"
"Yao, is it true Ivan and you are dating?"
"Hunh? Well, we went on a couple of dates, aru. Wait, wait, why are you asking me this, aru! This is none of your business, aru yo!"
"Da~, JaoJao and I are dating."
"Ivan, shut up!"

Alfred stood up, beaming, and waved a peace sign in Yao's face.

"Like, congrats, Yao, dude! Are you going to have kids with Ivan, too?"
"Aiyaa! Why do you others have to be so stupid, aru?! Ivan and I are both men, aru, so we cannot have children! Unless we adopt, aru…"

He 'hmfed' and turned his back to Alfred, only to come face-to-face with Kiku.
Kiku was trying his very best to hold back a laugh, but Yao could still hear him.

"Aiyaa. . . . You all are so mean, aru."
"It's not that, Yao, it's just that. . . . Never mind."
"Hmf!"
"But. . . . Yao, does that mean you're gay?"

Francis made a pouty face and leaned closer to him, causing Yao to scoot his chair into Matthew's.

"Ve~ . . . . Germany, what is 'gay'?"
"Agh. . . . When you're older you'll understand."
"Ve! But I want to know now!"
"Be patient, otherwise you won't know."
"So, anyway, Yao, are you gay, or at least bi?"

Yao didn't know what to say, so he sighed and shook his head.

"I don't really want to be 'gay', aru, but I'm dating Ivan, aru."
"Da zee, aniki, but your-BRLGOMRNDZK! AHMPPH!"
"Don't talk about that. Kolkolkolkolkol. . . ."

Yao watched as his younger aniki was dragged away by a very angry Ivan, and sighed again.
Natalia suddenly burst into the room, holding a knife and 'koling' loudly.

"What was that I heard!? Why are you dating my brother?! You'd better give me a good answer!"

Yao sighed, stood up and slammed his hands on the long wooden table.
Everybody jumped and looked at him; Yao had never been this serious before.

"Because I am Yao, aru. I have freedom of choice, who I will love and not love, aru. So, Natalia, I suggest you stop obsessing over your brother, aru. It's unnatural."

Natalia lowered her knife and raised her eyebrows.
She thought for a minute, then nodded and dragged a wailing Austria away, to who knows.
The room was quiet for a while, then Alfred burst out laughing.

"What? Dude, obsessing over her older brother is unnatural? What about you, dating another dude? Isn't that more unnatural than Natalia's weirdness?"

Yao crimsoned.
Alfred did have a point.
But he didn't have to say it like that.
Arthur rolled his eyes and sighed.

"Tha's tha most bloody sense you've made in a while, Alfred."
"I always make sense! I'm the hero! Hahahahaha!"
"Aiyaa. . . . This is a pain, aru."

Said topic was left to mope with the RoChu Pervy Squad, and the fruitless World Meeting was continued.
