Ivan's POV:
Everyone including me watched as Yao stormed out of the meeting hall fuming with rage. I looked over to Alfred who stared wide eyed, shocked and confused. Murmurs errupted soon after amongst the other nations.
'What was that? I don't like this feeling, I better go find him.' I thought to myself as I quickly run after Yao.
Leaving the meeting room through the double doors, I walk down the hallway until I reach the end. I looked down left and right and decided to head towards the entrance down the right hallway. Sure enough I found Yao storming out towards the exit of the building.
"Yao!" I shouted but he still didn't stop. I start walking towards him still shouting his name. "Yao! Yao turn around!" However nothing reahed him. I chased after him, my feet carring me quickly over to him. Upon closer inspection I realize Yao still has a very evil auora surrounding him and I could faintly hear something he's uttering.
"Kol aru…kol aru…kol aru…kol aru…" he whispers.
I had to refrain myself from picking him up from behind, and snuggling him close to me saying how adorable that sounded. However, no matter how cute it sounded to me I had to think.
'I've never seen Yao-Yao do this. What has gotten into him?' I thought to myself. "Yao." I called out thinking this close will get his attention, but still, he keeps walking.
I grabbed a hold of his shoulders stopping him in his tracks and spun him to face me. I saw in front of me, Yao's face contorted in rage and pure defiance. A face that was ready to challenge anyone who came near. After a second of realization though, his face softens as he figured out who his captivator was. His expression changed from rage and defiance to calmness with a glint in his eyes making them sparkle in the correct lighting. Just seeing that made me blush a small shade of pink.
"Ivan, why did you follow me aru?" Yao asked looking me in the eyes.
I looked at him dead on in the eyes and told him, "Because Yao seems upset and I want to help him when he's upset da." I said with a childish grin. Although my face read childish, my eyes read serious and comforting.
"Ivan you don't know the whole story aru."
"Then tell me the whole story Yao." I pressed.
Yao took a deep breath. "I told you that Alfred has been getting greedy in these past few months aru. That's not true. It's been happening for these past few years aru. He's demanded so much and he's just been doing it in smaller amounts so the other nations don't get suspicious aru. However they have been wanting more and more that they don't even care about being secretive aru. "
The childish look of my face started to slowly slip off and turn to a look of shock and concern. "Years Yao? You haven't told anyone da? Why? Why haven't you told anyone? Why haven't you told me?"
Yao shook his head and his eyes went downcast as if he was souly wounded. "Because this wasn't any of your concern aru. It wasn't your fight Ivan aru. I didn't want you to see how stressed I am, how frail I truly am." He paused and took a shuddering breath. "How weak I am aru."
I looked at him pitifully. A vast array of emotions flooding through me. I raised my gloved hand up and only using two fingers, I gently lifted up Yao's head and stepped closer to him. I leaned down and looked at him so closely our lips were only two inches apart from each others. My other arm bringing him closer to me.
Near his ear I whispered gently, "You are many things Yao Wang, but weak would be the last thing to describe you as." As I caressed his cheek with my hand.
I saw Yao's face turn bright red. He backed away from me covering his face in his long red sleeves. I smiled at him and walked over to him placing a hand on his shoulder.
"Yao-Yao feels better da?" I asked and he nods his head. Still too embarrassed for words. "Good! Now let's head back to the meeting and settle things rationally da?" I asked heading back down the hallway.
"Ivan," Yao called and I turn to look at him. "I'm not going back there aru." He says, his face going back to serious but not as frightening as before.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Exactly what I mean. I'm not going back to the meeting aru." Yao says.
I looked at him confused until a sudden realization hit me. "Wait a minute. Do you still wish to carry out your plan and attacking Alfred?" I asked anxiety racing through me.
"Of course aru! I was being 100% serious in there and I don't take back anything I have said aru." He says staring intently at me.
A mixture of confusion and anger runs through me as I take in everything he is saying. "Why do you still wish to do this Yao?" I asked. "It is true that Alfred's economy is in major debt and cannot afford a war, but even so, his army and weaponry has improved at least 100X since 2011. He's becoming a major super nation!" I explained almost in a pleading voice.
"Ivan don't talk to me as if I didn't already realize this aru! It was because of this that all of this mayhem is going on between us aru. And besides wasn't it you who told me to stand up to him aru?"
I mentally face palmed myself. 'So stupid! I'm so stupid for saying that!' I thought to myself. "Yes it is what I said, but I wasn't talking about waging in all out war!" I retorted.
Yao glared at me with a sharp glint in his eyes. "Ivan, are you on my side or not aru?"
I looked at him for a few seconds and then gave him a soft smile. "You know I'll always be on your side Yao. I'm just asking, you have thought about this through and through da?"
Yao smiles at him and walked closer to me. "I've been constructing this plan for about 8 months now aru. I've just been waiting for the right opprotune moment to strike; and now I have one aru."
"You know I'll always stick by your side Yao." I promised. 'Although I really don't want to go to war against Alfred, I would rather attack Alfred alongside Yao then to be facing Yao on the opposite side of the battlefield.' I think to myself.
As we walk out of the building together, Yao informs me the details of his plan and I look and talk as if I am more than interested. However I cannot ignore that feeling I'm getting that is telling me that Yao's plan may turn bloody.
