A/N: Okay I know o have been gone for a very long time. I have basically gone ahead and took some English classes so I can have better English. I have also updated every chapter I have previously written so it is as grammatical correct as possible. As far as I can remember there are not a lot of changes to the story but you can still re-read if you want. For everyone who is here from the begin thank you for you patience, from here on out the quality of my story should be better. I have pre-written up to chapter 14 so far so I will be doing some very quick release to make up for my disappearance.

Enjoy the chapter ^J^

Chapter 9 - First date

One week later

Ivan awoke at 6am feeling a warmth. After a few seconds of blinking Ivan smiled when he seen Gilbert's face. It had being like this for the past week, Ivan awkwardly asking Gilbert to stay in bed with him, Ivan falling asleep in Gilbert's arms. Reluctantly he wiggled his way out of Gilbert's arms and headed down stairs.

He was quite surprised to find Toris already awake.

"Доброе утро" Ivan sat down in front of Toris.

"Morning Russia. Did you sleep well?" Toris got up and began to make coffee.

"Da, did you?"

"Eh, good enough. Do you want the normal?"

"Yes please"

Toris got the kettle off hob and poured it into the mugs. Adding a bit of vodka to the one with a sunflower on it.

After finishing the coffees he sat a mug down in front of Ivan, before sitting opposite of him again.

"Hey Toris" Ivan looked down at his mug "Can I ask you a question?"

"Of course"

Ivan's face started to flush, he tried to hide it by burying his face into his scarf. This did not go unnoticed by Toris.

"Howdoiwpakjkdn"

"I didn't catch that?"

"How do I plan a date?" Ivan practicality had his face fully hidden in his scarf now.

Toris held a warm smile. 'if only we seen this cute Russia more often'.

"Do you not know how to plan a date?"

Russia shook his head. "I've never been on one"

Toris was not surprised by this answer at all. Not that he thought Russia was unlovable, just... an acquired taste.

"Well... traditionally two people would go out to dinner."

"I know... but you know what could happen if... it was found out."

Toris though for a second. "You could still go, just don't eat each others faces in public."

"You sure"

"Yeah, as long as your boss doesn't see you. What's the worst that could happen?"

Ivan shot Toris a bright smile before pulling him into a tight hug. Toris attempted to squirm out of it.

"Спасибо Toris!"

Ivan let go of Toris before running off to find a perfect place.

"When did I become a love doctor" Toris laughed to him self before starting breakfast.

Gilbert had spent most the day after finishing his chores sitting in front of the TV. With Ivan no where to be seen he hadn't had much to do. He was just about to go to sleep when he suddenly had a huge weight land on his lap and being kissing him.

"Wakey wakey Gilbie!" Ivan yelled rubbing his face up against Gilbert.

"Your like a big cat, now fuck off! i'm sleeping." Gilbert rolled his head back into the sofa.

"Naw you need to be awake!" Ivan tried kissing him again but to no avail. So he had an idea that he was sure would work. He licked Gilbert's face.

"Um yummy"

Gilbert punched the Russian straight in the nose.

"I'm up, stop fucking licking me!"

Ivan smiled much to Gilbert's dislike.

"Get up and get into some nice clothing. We are going out."

Gilbert groaned but got up anyway, going to get changed. He changed into a light blue shirt with black trousers. Walking back down stairs he noticed Ivan had changed into a yellow shirt and grey trousers.

"Shall we go"

Gilbert nodded and the headed outside getting into Ivan's car. After a 20 minute drive they arrived at a restaurant. A nice blonde haired young lady showed them to their table.

"So what do you think?" Ivan asked nervously.

"Its nice. Honestly I though we weren't going to do all that date shit."

Ivan buried his face into his scarf. "Don't you like it?"

'his not going to cry is he'. Gilbert took hold of Ivan's hand. "Its not that. Just all my other relationship we didn't bother with dating."

they had a nice time chatting over dinner and before long it was time to go. Ivan paid the bill and they got back in that car. To Gilbert's surprise Ivan driven them to a quite long ally way.

"This is that part where you kill me isn't it?" Gilbert half joked.

Ivan stopped the car. "Do you trust me that little?" Ivan climbed into the back seat urging Gilbert to follow. Gilbert also climbed over into the back and sat next to Ivan.

"Why are we in an ally way?"

"Well so we can... erm... make out." Ivan was bright red at this point.

"Well what are we waiting for?"

Gilbert took lead as the began their make out session. This went for a very long time until Gilbert started undoing Ivan's pants. This caused Ivan to pull away.

"Stop"

Gilbert looked confused. "What's wrong?"

"Not yet, just too soon."

Gilbert tried to hide the disappointment but failed.

"No don't be sad. I don't want you to be sad."

Gilbert smiled before buttoning up Ivan's pants.

"I'm not sad. When you ready we can but I don't want to force you to do anything."

Gilbert pulled Ivan into a loving embrace. They sat their like that for a while before making their way home. Once again Ivan awkwardly asked for Gilbert to stay the night with him. Of course Gilbert said yes.

Authors Note: If anyone couldn't understand why they could kiss in public. Homosexuality was illegal in the post-Lenin USSR and is still a landmine subject in today's Russia. The more you know.
