Chapter 5:

They both entered to the castle, Antonio still held by Ivan, and they rapidly went to Antonio's room, so he could changed into some dry clothes. The blond prince stood in the door of the room as Antonio entered and searched for some new clothes.

"You should take a bath" – said Ivan with a monotonous tone – "You'll catch a cold an you won't be warm anymore" – His eyes never abandoned Antonio's, fact that made the brunette very uncomfortable –

"…" – He didn't know what to say or how to act towards the bipolar prince, one moment he was a nice, yet weird person, and in the other he was a crazy psychopath- "If you said so, I'll take that bath, thanks" – he tried his best to smile – "I'm very curious about him… I've never met someone as complex as Ivan…" – He though as he took his clothes and walked toward the bathroom – "I'll be out in a minute, if you still want to, can you show me the town?" – He smiled again as he closed the door behind him – "I'm not letting Gilbert's crazy thoughts stop my relationship with this kingdom, maybe if everything goes well I can return home" – he smiled and entered into the bath tube –

Outside, Ivan couldn't put his thoughts together. He though that his previous actions would made Antonio fear him, like it happened with everyone, but instead of that the teen seemed to be more attached to him…

"He is crazy…" – He sat down in Antonio's bed and lazily took a pillow that was placed on the head of it. He watched it for a while before carrying it to his nose – "And I like that" – He smiled and put the pillow into his nose until the essence of prince was stored in his head –

After a few minutes Antonio came out of the bathroom, fully dress up, and with a shiny smile on his face.

"Sorry for taking so long!" – He excused himself as he walked into the room only to find the sleeping blond in his bed – "Oh, I think I took a little too long" – he brushed the others hair and started to walked away when two strong arms hugged him from behind – "I'm sorry, I woke you up?" – He asked naively, Ivan denied with his head, buried in Antonio's back –

"You…are not scared?" – Asked Ivan setting free Antonio's waist – "Even after I…" – He turned the brunette around and looked at the wound he had in the neck, weakly he put his hand on it – "I did this…" –

Antonio didn't know what to do; yes Ivan harmed him, but something in his eyes told him that, that wasn't his intention – "Is Ok, don't worry…" – he smiled and put his hand in Ivan's hand – "Let's just, try to forget it all right? Start all over again" – Antonio lent him his hand, but instead of that the blond prince hugged him – "Why don't we go to the town?" – Ivan let go of Antonio and stood up –

"You're going to need to patch that up" – He pointed at the wound, it was bleeding – "Does it hurt?" – He looked at it fascinated by the way the blood went down Antonio's neck –

"Not… so much" – he laughed a little and put a bandage in it – "Shall we go?"

Ivan nodded and handed him a long scarf, Antonio accepted it and started walking through the long corridor of the house until they were out of the big castle….

"Francis, that Ivan is a cruel man, poor Antonio…" – said little Alfred – "If I was the hero in this story nobody would get hurt!" – He stood up in the big bed making some moves, doing as if he was attacking someone –

"I bet you will be an awesome hero when you grow up, Alfie" – he smiled and messed up the little blond hair –

"Yeah don't you think this is a little violent history for the kids, Francis" – Arthur hit Francis's head while he made an annoyed face –

"No, no! Please Arthur let him continue!" – Alfred made a puppy face that made Arthur melted

"Ok, all right you can continue, but please try to be less graphic"

"Je traite cher, if I wasn't this story would be SUPER graphic" – He smiled and hugged Arthur – "How are you Mathew? You've been super silent" – Francis smiled and hugged the little blond who was all blushed –

"Ivan is… scary…" – He said as he hugged his polar bear –

"Oh mon cheri, I'm sorry" – Francis took the little boy into his arms and hugged him eve tighter – "He's not going to harm you Mathew, don't worry"

"And what about… Antonio?" – Asked the little blond –

"Well, he has his very own Prince charming, he'll be all right. Now is time for you to go to bed, we'll continue tomorrow"

"Eh?! No!" – The twins said at the same time – "We want to know what happened next!"

"No, no dears papa is tired so be good boys and go to bed, I promise I'll tell you more about them tomorrow, Ok?" – The two boys tried to argue but the knew that they couldn't win against Francis so they just went to sleep – "That's it good boys" –The French smiled and went out of the room followed by Arthur –

"You're a really good tale teller, the boys are really exited with this story" –He smiled kindly at the other blond –

"Well dear Anglaterre, that's not the only thing I'm good at" – he smirk and took the Englishman in his arms, bridal style and went to they room –

"Moron! You just have to ruin the mood" –He argued still in Francis' arms –

"You can shout all you want dear but you're not going anywhere" – He started to laugh while he entered into the room
