This is in Ivan's View. In this chapter Ivan and Alfred are ten years old.

The One Who Captured My Heart

By waterrain

Alfred was on my steps, his eyes downcast, and he didn't look like himself.

"Is something wrong, Comrade?"

"Last week, I decided to tell my parents about the kiss that happened under the mistletoe. You know when we were nine years old and stuff."

"What happened?" I asked in a concerned voice and he was biting his lip.

"My parents are filing for a divorce. My dad is staying at a hotel and stuff." Alfred replied in a low voice and I notice he is wearing long sleeves.

"Why?" I asked softly and watched as my sunflower rolled up his sleeves revealing bruises. On each arm it is in the shape of a hand. What happened to my sunflower? Who would do this to him? Who dared to bruise my beloved sunflower? My blood is boiling, I will not forgive whoever caused him harm, and I will-

"My dad grabbed my arms and started yelling at me. It hurt a lot, Ivan. My mom shoved dad away from me, pulled me behind her, and dad tried to get past her. She forced his hands behind his back and had him against the wall. I never saw my mom looking so fierce and all that was directed towards dad. Mom calmly told me to go into a room with a lock. I did as I was told and ten minutes later my mom knocked on the door told me the news."

I hugged Alfred and he felt limp in my arms. At least Alfred's mom protected him like how a lioness protects her cubs. Alfred's mom is a good mom. Alfred's father is a bastard for harming my sunflower.

"It's all my fault. It's my fault that they getting divorced."

"Nyet, It is your father's fault. It is not your fault or your mother's fault." I said calmly, rubbing his back, and he tried to push me away.

",But it is my fault for telling them. I didn't think dad would act that way. He told me that no son of mine is going to be a homo, that he will beat it out of me, and mentioned that he regretted not being home more because if he was home more then I wouldn't have become the type of boy to being kissing other boys. I'm not the type to be kissing a lot of other boys and the only kiss I got from a boy was from you, Ivan. Not to mention you were my first kiss."

I released him and wiped away his tears. I have not met Alfred's father. Whenever I was at Alfred's home the only other person there was his mother.

"It is not your fault, Alfred." I stated firmly, his blue eyes are puffy, and he is taking several deep breaths. My sunflower is hurt and depressed. The cause is his father. Anyone who dares hurt my sunflower will pay. I closed my violet eyes and cover up a twisted smile by using my right hand. Alfred's father will pay for his cruelty towards my warm sunflower. There are fates worse than death.

"Ivan, I'm glad that you are my best friend. You won't leave me, right?" Alfred's voice is quiet.

"I'm glad to be your best friend, Alfred. I will not leave you even if you murder someone." I told him, but didn't mention that one day I want to be more than best friends with him.

"What? Why would I murder someone?"

"I would help you bury the body, da."

Alfred stared at me with those big blue eyes and I just gave him a cheerful smile.

"Alfred, I know you will not kill someone for you are not that type of person. I'm just saying I will not ever leave you no matter what happens. I will be your side, da."

"Ivan, Do you promise to never leave me?"

"I promise I shall never leave you, Alfred. Do you want some cookies? I have some inside of the cookie jar."

We walked inside of my house and I didn't tell Alfred that I made those cookies just for him. I hope he will enjoy them even though they were made two days ago and for two days I had been trying to figure out the best way to offer him cookies.
