As soon as Yao fell asleep Ivan carefully slipped out of the bed, making sure to cover up the sleeping man so he wouldn't freeze. He pulled on his pants and buttoned his shirt. He next reached for his scarf, rewrapping it tightly around his neck. He was glad that Yao left alone about the question why there were scars on his neck.
He looked back at Yao, he looked so beatific; sleeping so soundly in his bed. It made his heart ache knowing he would never see it again. Sighing heavily he walked over to the sink. He crouched down and picked at a corner in the ground under it. He dug a little deeper with his nail and slid open a secret compartment. He had kept it hidden for only one special occasion. Picking up the slate of concrete he put his hand into the hole; taking out a brown bottle.
Ivan blew on the bottle, clearing it of the gather dust. It was his only and last bottle of vodka. He may not be old enough to drink the stuff, but it did not matter; he had been drinking since he was very young. This was his only bottle from years ago; he promised he would only drink it before his execution.
Taking the bottle and flicking the top; he downed the drink; the burning of the strong liquid stinging his throat. He sighed at the big gulp, sliding to the floor with the bottle clutched tightly in his hands. His fingers ran over his hair, pushing the locks back only to have them returned in front of his eyes.
"I can't do it...I cant leave Yao now," Ivan growled to himself, taking another large sip. "No, I have to do it, I have to avenge him." He fought with himself back and forth. Should he kill Munnokhoi? Or shouldn't he? If he did, he would have to obtain his pipe. It was his only weapon, and the only time he could make a move was before he returned to his cell from dinner.
Just as the thought of doing it after dinner, the dinner bell rang. The door to the cell flew open and men began leaving there stations. Ivan looked over to Yao who stirred in the bed at the loud noise. He was mumbling something and Ivan; placing down the bottle back in its hole, crawled over to his side.
"Are you hungry? Little Yao?" he asked softly, he ran his fingers through Yao's soft hair, it was like silk.
"Mm, not much aru," Yao said weakly. "Just sleepy,"
Ivan smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. "I will bring you some dinner back, da?"
Yao again mumbled, blushing slightly. "Ok, thank you aru."
"Good bye, little Yao. I love you."
As Ivan left the room, Yao couldn't help but get a sort of chill down his spine as Ivan spoke the last words. They almost seemed to be like a will, a farewell that he would never return. Maybe he was just tired and it seemed like that, but somethng, something deep down inside, Yao knew it was wrong.

"Psst, mon ami's, did you hear?" Francis whispered to his table.
"No, what is it frog?" Arthur spat rudely.
"Hey, don't give me that when I have some juicy information!"
"Dude, just tell us!" Alfred yelled excitingly.
"Ok, you are not going to believe this, but Ivan and Yao definitely got it on just a few hours ago~ Oh-hoh-hoh-hoh~" he laughed, feeling his heart race with excitement. Finally something interesting was happening in this boring mad house.
And I swear, as soon as Francis spoke those words, the whole table did a spit take.
"THEY WHAT!" All shouted in unison.
"No way man, you mean the commie and-?"
"Qui, it is cute no?"
"I bloody can't believe it!"
"I didn't know the brute had it in him, ja?"
"Vee~ How wonderful!"
"Meh, it is disgusting if you ask me!"
"Romano, don't me so mean, they are in love! Te amo~"
"Kesesese, guess the Chinese cutie is no longer on the charts!"
"Que? That's hard to believe right Mattie?"
"Y-Yes, quite,"
"Who told you this, aru?" Came a booming voice from behind them.
"Gahh!"
The whole table jumped when they heard the agitated voice. They turned around to see Yao standing there, his arms were crossed and his face a good red with anger or embarrassment, either one, it did not matter. How could they all just casually talk about it like that?
"Q-Qui?" Francis stuttered, for some odd reason, Yao seemed even more scarier than the Russian at this moment. He was like an angry mother lion ready to pounce. "Um, you see, I heard i-it from the men next to your cell, I mean, they said you were pretty loud, no?"
Yao had finally blown up. "I-It's a lie aru!" his face flushed, sweat dripping down his cheek nervously. "I-I mean, aru," he stuttered on his last sentence; looking down to his feet.
"Dude! No way? You and the Commie did get it on! Hahahaaa, I didn't see that coming!" Sarcasm seeped though his voice like venom, stinging the Asian in every way possible. "Pfff, I knew he would get in you!"
"Shut up aru!" Yao yelled in anger. "S-So what if we did?"
"Hey, we have nothing against it cutie," the Prussian added. "Too bad though, now I can't have you."
"Bruder, leave him alone, ja?" Ludiwg commented. "It's embarrassing for everyone's first time."
"Yeah, I know Luddy was nervous his first time, vee~" Felicano chimed happily.
"Gwaaa! Feli!" The blonde yelled covering his mouth with his hands. "Please, don't say such things ja?"
Yao sighed in frustration, he sat down on one of the seats, putting his face in his hands. "Just listen, have you seen Ivan? I need to talk to him."
"No man," Alfred said stuffing his face with two slices of buttered bread at once. "He sna't ome dwn et."
"You git!" Arthur yelled, slapping the younger man on the head. "Speak properly, without food in your mouth!"
Alfred gulped hard. "Owww, Iggy that hurt!"
Arthur sighed, facing the Asian. "He has not come down yet, didn't he come with you?"
"No aru, he came down long before me. Are you sure?"
"Qui love," Francis stated. "We have not seen him all day."
"Than, where can he be?"
-^( ^-
Knock Knock Knock-
"Come in," came Muunokhoi's gruff voice from inside his office. He had a cold and it was making him tired and giving him a headache. As he turned around in his swivel chair his black eyes widened at the sight of the tall figure in his door way.
"Privet, comrade."
-^ )^-
"He might what!" Yao yelled.
"Listen, Ivan has had some problems, a lot of problems in the past. And some unhappy ones with Khan none the less. If he did something to you, we know he will go after him."
"H-He could get hurt! They could sentence him to death for this aru, we have to help him!" Yao could feel his heart race, dropping at the same time at the fact that Ivan could be killed. "I-I have to go aru," without thinking, he quickly ran from the table, the guards took notice to the man running and chased after him.
"Hey you there, stop!" One of the officers shouted.
"Hold on Yao, the hero will help you!" Alfred jumped from the table, he quickly ran up tackling one of the guards that chased the small man.
"Alfred, you bloody idiot!" Now he had to help; he ran from the table to help his boyfriend. As soon as that happened, a man yelled loudly as he stood up top a table.
"PRISON RIOT!"
Every prisoner soon began to rampage; food started flying and the prisoners started fighting with the incoming officers that tried to calm them down. Yao escaped freely, the other guard that was following him quickly turned back around when he heard the shouting, figuring that that problem would be more important than chasing one single inmate.
"Please Ivan," Yao screamed in his head, "Don't do anything stupid aru!"
-^( ^-
"Ahh, Ivan," Khan said smirking. "I was wondering when you would show up."
Ivan smiled creepily, closing the door behind him, he gently strode up to the oak desk, sitting down in the chair. "You know why I am here da? I am not very happy with what you did."
"Hahaa, oh Ivan, still so young, still so naive. You think that brat really likes you? Has feelings for you? You are a monster, that is it. He was high on my drug; I gave him too you. But, heh, not before I had a little fun~"
The Russian growled, slamming his fist down on the desk, he stood, shadowing the older man as he kept sitting in his chair. "You are sick!" Ivan shouted loudly. "He did nothing to you! Now, now it is your turn, you're going to pay." he hissed.
"Oh really now? You think you can stop me?" Khan stood up from his desk and leaned in close to the Russian. "They will kill you before you can kill me Braginski," he spat with venom.
Before another word was spoken, the phone rang in Khan's office. He picked it up, "yes," he growled lowly. "What? You idiots, didn't you stop them yet? Well, get too it!" Munnokhoi slammed the phone down on the receiver and pinched the brig of his nose. "They are all morons," he said softly. He sighed, "I guess you get your revenge after all Braginski, no one is here to stop you, and my old age and sickness will surly weaken me from battling you with that lead pipe you have stash away there in your shirt."
Khan sat back in his chair, sighing heavily as he plopped down onto the cushion. He saw the look of confusion on Ivan's face before sitting.
"You know," Khan's voice was low, almost sad sounding; maybe a hint of regret hidden deep inside his aging heart. "I am over 55, though I don't look it, and feel I have done nothing with my life. I have raped and killed people myself, and here I am, working for a jail keeping inmates in tacked. Hah, the irony. So go ahead, I don't deserve to live, do I? But neither do you."
"Heh," there was a small laugh from the Russian as he heard the pathetic regrets of a old man. He took the pipe out of his shirt and raised it up high above his head. "You know khan, you are right. I do deserve to die, I deserve to rot in hell for what I have done. But, Yao saved me, Yao made me feel as though I might have had a chance. And what you did is way worse than what I could ever. I'll end your misery right now for you."
His hands clenched tightly around the metal object, the whites of his knuckles showing. His eyes narrowed, gritting his teeth. He didn't know why, but small pricks of tears stood in the corners of his eyes. Finally, he swung.
"Stop!"
Ivan quickly froze his actions, his pipe only inches away from the Mongolians head. They both turned but before Ivan could get all the way around he jerked as hands wrapped around his waist and a face dug deep into his side. He looked down, shocked to see it was none other than Yao.
