And here I am again with chapter 10 as promised! I can't believe I already wrote 10... I am actually quite lazy you see?

Well enough with the blabbering, please enjoy this chapter and review ;3

After I heard the footsteps approaching, I immediatly removed Arthur's hands from my cheeks, to turn around. It was Italy. ' Ciaaaao~~ What are you guys doing? Are you two flirting? How cute! You know, I wanted to make pasta, but then Russia stole it from me! So I want it back but he is so creepy!'. I stared at Italy, and then at the person standing behind him. 'Did you call me , little one~ ' he said as he patted his hand on Italy's shoulder. Italy started to shiver like crazy, and muttered some things in Italian before running off while screaming. 'Ah, and he's gone aru..' I said as I watched how fast the Italian actually ran, something like 100 Kilometres a second.. ' I made some pasta for us Yao Yao~ ' Russia said whilst carressing the side of my face once again with his fingers. 'R-Russia, that was Italy's p-pasta right aru?'. 'Njet, it is not...' he said as he wore a sickening sweet smile on his face. Even Arthur started to shiver at the sight, so I had no choice but to comply with his wish. 'W-Well, see you later Yao...' he said with an anxious smile. I smiled back, understanding why he would be so scared of this giant next to me. ' The pasta... is very good you see? So I was proud on my creation, and wanted you to be the first to taste it!' he said while dragging me with him. ' Why didn't you let Lithuania taste it first aru' I said whilst pouting. Russia's smile faded away and his sharp eyes stared at me. ' Because... I...' he began speaking, ' I wanted to.. make up with you da?' he said while nodding contently. Ok, it looked like Russia wanted to apologise by serving me stolen pasta. It sounds quite funny, and I was hungry so I just complied with it you see?

I watched how Russia went to the kitchen, and wondered; Why did he want to make up with me? Did he finally care? I mentally smacked myself for being such a naive person. I shouldn't get my hopes up, otherwise I will end up sad and broken again. Suddenly I could hear Russia talk in the kitchen;

'' Черт возьми, глупо итальянский .. Он забыл налить соус в макароны!'' ( Damn it, stupid Italian.. He forgot to pour the sauce into the pasta! )

'' Что мне теперь делать ... Yao будут разочарованы во мне .. Что я должен делать?'' ( What am I supposed to do now... Yao will be disappointed in me.. What should I do?)

He was talking in his native tongue, and I didn't understand any word of it. He seemed troubled, so I decided to take a look. ' Russia, are you alright aru?' I asked him. I could see him turn around and noticed the sad expression. I walked towards him and cupped his face in my rather small hands. 'Are you ok? You seem troubled' I said as I measured his temperature, something that has become my habit since I always cared for my siblings. I could see Russia's cheeks become a bit pink at the touch, which made me smile. ' D-Da.. Ital- I forgot to pour the sauce into the pasta.. Isn't that stupid?' he said as he laughed nervously. Well I couldn't expect anything else from Italy, so that's why Russia seemed to troubled. I began to laugh and had let my hands slid of his face. ' I have an idea aru, just watch' I ordered him. I grabbed some butter, salt and pepper. I mixed it with the warm pasta, which made the butter melt. It smelled delicious and I could hear my stomach grumble. Well, I have not eaten for some hours so it's quite normal that I'm hungry.. Russia's eyes were scanning every movement of mine like a hawk. ' See~ It's done aru!' I said while putting the pasta on the two decorated plates. Russia happily nodded at the sight and helped me.
When we were sitting at the table, he took a bite. 'Вкусно!, It's really good!' he mused as he took another bite. I watched how he childishly ate the pasta infront of him and smiled. He looked very cute.. Just like that time..

' Big Yao, what are these flowers called? I like them da?'
' These are called sunflowers aru, they always face the sun! '
' Wow! Amazing, can I take them home?'
' I'm afraid that they will not survive in your climate back at your home aru..'
' B-But I love them.. Isn't there any way?'
' No.. But I promise you, when you are bigger than me, we will plant sunflowers together aru!'

I got kicked out of my thoughts at the touch of Ivan's hand on my own. 'Are you ok Yao Yao?' he asked me with a worried expression. ' S-Shi, I am , do not worry aru' I assured him. The memories of us two.. I treasured them. I hope one day Russia will regain his memories as child, it seemed like he has forgotten them. I also won't ask about it since I want him to remember it out of his own efforts. If he can't remember them, it means that they were not important to him. I should accept that as the grown man I am. Thought it hurts me a little bit, they are my treasured memories afterall...

After we ate, we washed the dishes in complete silence. I disliked the silence so I started to hum a Chinese folkery song. It remembered me of the old days in China, merchants everywhere, people were happy and there were not many poor people. Everything has changed since then.
I saw how Russia stared at me while he was drying the plates in his hands with a rag. ' Yao yao...' ' Yes Russia, what is it aru?'

'Call me Ivan from now on, da?'

Here is chapter 10 as promised! Chapter 11 will come today or tommorow ;3

Besides, the Pasta with butter , salt and pepper is truly delicious. You should try it , and it tastes the best with Macaroni instead of spaghetti!
