You saw a man with the most amazing lilac-hued eyes approaching you with a creepy but cute smile. You couldn't help but stare at his platinum-blond hair and his... rather large nose.

"Privet, sunflower, you are (name), right? I am Ivan Braginski, I come from Russia. I am staying with you, da?"

"Yes, I think so. Anyways, welcome to (c/n)! I hope you enjoy your stay with us!"

He patted your head, an action that you usually despised but since he was your guest, let him do. He could see you looked uncomfortable and frowned.

" Sunflower, is there something wrong?"

Not wanting to upset him, you smiled and denied it.

"Oh, nothing Ivan. Shall we get your luggage and find our taxi?"

"Da, that seems like a good idea."

**Time skip accompanied by Mr Pipe, da?**

You reached your house, which was right next to a huge field of sunflowers. Ivan gasped in awe, his eyes lighting up like a child on Christmas Day after unwrapping a huge present. You smiled at his childlike reaction.

"(name)! These are beautiful! I never really got to see the sunflowers grow in Russia because there was only snow... I love it!"

He embraced you in a bear hug.

"You're most welcome!And- ACK CAN'T *wheeze*BREATHE"

He immediately let go of you.

"Sorry, sunflower. I didn't realize."

He looked as if he was about to cry and you regretted telling him. You tried to hug him, but he was so bear-like you couldn't fit both of your arms around him. You then noticed the luggage on your driveway.

"Ivan?"

"Yes (name)?"

"Could you help me carry these suitcases up to the guest room please?"

"Yes, sunflower. Usually, I have my three best friends to help me but they are staying home for the holidays."

"Oh, really? What are their names?"

"Toris is from Lithuania, Raivis is from Latvia and Eduard is from Estonia. They work for me in my big house."

"Wait a minute... why are your best friends working for you?"

His face became dark and you could have sworn you saw a purple aura forming around him. You were terrified, this man was staying at your house, and he looked like a mass murderer.

"Ivan?"

He calmed down.

"Sorry, sunflower, I don't like to talk about it. Now, suitcases, da?"

"Yes please. I'll get started on dinner. We're having piroshki and borscht. I learnt the recipes, it can be like a welcoming dinner to (c/n)."

"Thank you (name)! I love them, my big sister Katayusha used to make them for me when we were children!"

"Ivan, you are so lucky to have a sister-"

"(name), I have two sisters. Katayusha is my older sister and Natalya is my younger sibling."

When he mentioned Natalya, you could have sworn you saw fear in his eyes. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. You looked out of the peephole and saw a teenage girl with long, straight blonde hair and wearing a blue and white frilly dress. She looked like she was going to either kill or kidnap you.

You opened the door.

"I'm looking for my Big Brother" she said.
