(This chapter: LietBel. But it's one-sided)

Toris grumbled to himself as he observed a scene that had become all too familiar to him.

"Big brother! Big brother! Let's get married! Now!" Natalya demanded, tugging at Ivan's scarf.

"How many times do I have to tell you?! No!" Ivan responded, prying the scarf out of her fingers.

"You can't say no to me forever, big brother! Someday you'll realise that I'm the one for you and then you'll marry me!"

Toris was more than aware of Natalya's…love for her big brother Ivan, as well as her rather terrifying displays of 'affection'. And however sick it was, he found himself wishing he could trade places with Ivan near constantly. He could not call his own unrequited feelings for Natalya 'love'. No, putting such a label on them would be completely idiotic. There was no way he could possibly 'love' a woman hell-bent on marrying her own older brother, regardless of whether or not he wanted to. No way could he 'love' a woman who had broken his fingers the last time he tried to take her out on a date.

He had a crush, a stupid little crush, and how he wished his heart would hurry up and discard it. Loving, no liking, wait not even that— being attracted to this madwoman was testing his heart and his mind to the very limits. His heart wanted Natalya, wanted her so badly he could barely stand it. But his mind logically screamed at him "Forget her! Move on and forget her!"

Yet here he sat, and here he would sit, for God only knows how long, until the hot, selfish desire to trade places with Ivan went away…

Sorry about the delay on the LietBel, I was having trouble coming up with a concept I liked X.x. But I hope it was worth the wait! Anyway, guess what day it is tomorrow! SpUK day! So be sure to check my profile for a special one-shot to celebrate my OTP tomorrow! See ya then, and the next chapter of Shipping Shorts will be up soon! Bye~
