I don't own Hetalia.

Has UKxfemChina and rochu in this chapter.

The morning light shine upon Yue's eyes too brightly to her taste that she frown and tired to cover it with her arms. Though that did little help, she growled a lady like growl and turned around the softness of her bed. Still a little tired at what happened yesterday's venture.

"Please wake up, love." The soft voice filed with care had spoken thru her ears that Yue had cracked open her eyes to see it. Sleepiness forgot. Her light brown eyes adjusted to the bright light coming from the wide window on her right side and turned to look around before looking at the source of the voice. Those green eyes looking straight at her, with a concern look that she squeak her voice and covered her mouth.

Arthur. Arthur was here, with her, beside her, on her bed in her room. Alone. That is a problem. Though, she like Arthur but she was raised well not be alone with a man on a secluded room, let alone on her bed. Rumors will spread. Then again, all of her knowledge had gone out of the window the moment she saw Arthur.

"A-Arthur?" her voice was still soft but audible to Arthur that brought him a soft smile on his face.

"How are you, love? I missed you" he reach his hand to touch her forehead and gently, with the other arm, bringing them closer. He hugged her like when he told her that he will be leaving to the new world last year. Now, all those loneliness alone at night in this house has all but forgotten when they shared a hugged and a kiss that was ended to soon when Arthur was pulled violently across the room.

Yue scramble out of her bed and shouted, "Arthur!" then turned her head to look at a very angry Russian grinding his teeth and with a grimace on his face that erases all of his childlike appearance. "Ivan?" it was more of a question than a conformation on the man that was staring down at them. Yue had help Arthur up and was looking at him with a terrified expression. She didn't know this man. Sure she has spent two days with him and the first impression wasn't good but she didn't expect to see a stare that had so much coldness and bitterness in his violet eyes. That had brought a shiver down her spin.

Arthur had gently pushed Yue behind him and rub off the blood that form on his mouth, with his forearm, when he hit the floor.

"Arthur, please don't fight." Yue's voice was trembling also.

"I won't love." Arthur assure her and looked up that the tall Russian that was a head taller than him. Ivan growled an animal like sound when he heard him call her love. He was in so much anger that he really wanted to kill Arthur.

"It's good to see you again, Ivan." Arthur, being the gentleman he was offered his hand to shake the now confused Russian. He still takes it but grip harder to indicate his displeasure.

"Arthur, what are you doing with my fiancé?" that had brought Arthur's thick eyebrows tighter, he then turn to Yue.

"Fiancé?" Yue gulped.

"Da, fiancé. Yue and I would be wed on the first full moon." Arthur blinked and looked Yue in confused.

"Please, tell me this isn't true." Yue only nodded her head.

"When are you going to tell me this?" He was practically shaking Yue but was stopped when Ivan intervene.

"I'm sorry; I never intended it like this." Yue was crying now. She was struggling to get away from Ivan's hold but his grip was strong. Arthur eye's was on both Ivan's hand on Yue's shoulder.

"Please, Arthur, I can explain."

"Release her. You don't have the right to touch her." He but takes Yue of him. Yue was basically dizzy, and her eyes were stinging again and her face was blushed. It wasn't the embarrassment that she get when she notice she was still in her nightgown and only barely covered and that both the other two was fully dress.

"Da, I can. She will be my wife soon."

"No, she ain't if she doesn't want you." That returned Ivan's cold eyes and punch Arthur square on his face. He was about to strike a third on when Yue's scream had stopped him. He turned to looked at her and saw that she was pulling him off Arthur, with no prevailed of course. But that had shaken his heart. Yue would do anything to help save Arthur even when she knows she'll more likely be hit as well.

He let go of Arthur's collar and stood up only to be hit behind his head with something hard that he was thumbled down on his knees.

"Again, you manage to hit someone." That cold voice had bring a shiver down his spine. Nicholas has hit his son with a bottle of empty vodka he was consuming will walking down the aisle. He heard a scream so he went here to see his son was about to his Arthur's bruised face.

Ivan rubbed the back of his head and was glad that there was no broken skin this time. He sat on his bottom and observes the whole room with people coming in and cornering Arthur and Yue. He was jealous on how Yue care for Arthur's wounds that she didn't even bother to see his. MeiYue had run in and saw first thing her daughter was wearing that she told every single male to get out of the room. That includes Arthur and Michael that was running to her. And told a few servants to help clean the mess and change the now healthy Yue.

Ivan walked or practically run towards his room, avoiding meeting his father. He wasn't in the mood for scolding and closes the door after bolting it. He was glad there was a bottle of vodka on the table the night before. Though it was only early in the afternoon, too early for any drinking, he didn't really care. He drenched the half full bottle and sighed when the stinging liquid had touch his tongue and thru his throat. Ignoring the knock on his door and the voices of both his sisters calling to him. He didn't want to deal with anyone at the moment. He was feeling sorry for himself. The girl he wants was really in love with someone else and that girl can actually be compatible with him. He saw how brave her eyes were when she tried to pull him away from Arthur. That had sparked something inside of him. With the heaviness of his eyes the last though take him was He really wants Yue to be his bride.

On the other side of the house. Yue was being lectured by her mother about proper etiquette, again. She was being lectured about how she acted in front of both men and that they both not related to her to see her in a very thin clothing and also how she acted last night was horrible. Yue gave no negative respond to her mother that time. She was fully aware now how serious that this marriage was to Ivan. She saw how he desperately wanted to kill Arthur when he said that she didn't want him. But she was still isn''t convince into marrying him. Now that she saw how strong he can be when his angry she didn't have the strength to protect herself when he went into rampage.

"Are you listening to me?" MeiYue had crossed her arms on her chest and stared down at her daughter, now fully dress, on the bed. Yue nodded. Her mother sighed.

"You have to let go of Arthur." Yue just stared at the window while holding on the canopy post of her bed.

"You have hurt Ivan's feelings today. He really cares for you."

"How can you know? When he just met me a few days ago and not to mention he can't control his anger. Look at what he did to Arthur. he has bruises on his face."

"What did Arthur do to make him angry?" Yue was about to answer when she though that telling her about the kiss would surely be the end of her. So she just told her what Arthur said of not marring him.

"You do know that is jealousy in men?" Yue just shocked her head.

"He is jealous because he cares for you." When Yue didn't gave any reaction MeiYue gave up, for today at least.

"Come along. Let's go welcome your brother correctly." Empathising on the word brother, but seem not to get it when her excitement gave back.

"When did he come back?" Yue asked when they were heading to the library.

"Just a few hours after lunch, which you missed." Yue giggled in embarrassment. She did have a few scones and tea while her mother was lecturing her.

As they entered the library, three males were waiting for them. Arthur, how's left side of his face was coverd with a patch, was playing with Michael on his lap. That brought Yue a smile on her face. Arthur was really good with children that she would love to have someday. So that's why she have to marry him and not Ivan who knows nothing about children. Henry was sited across the couch his sons' was occupying and had a scorn on his face. He was informed on what happened earlier that day and he was not pleased with both parties responsible for it.

"Welcome back Arthur." Both the Chinese women bow down to Arthur, how had risen up when he notice them. Michael was still on his arms, playing with the pocket watch he had given him.

Yue quickly site beside him and asked all about his adventures in America. Though Henry was listening as well observing any sign that his son was lieing. He has faith in him, that he even gave him the opportunity to go to America and work on some of their estate their. He just didn't want his son to marry his daughter. They aren't related by blood but still, he still had his reason why he didn't want them to marry.

Before supper,Arthur had taken Yue to the garden and asked was on his mind the whole afternoon.

"I heard that you were blue last night. what were you doing?" Yue bit her lips and stared at the ground. this didn't feel right.

"I had a fight with mama." Arthur raised his brows.

"That's rare. Ad stupid of you to go into the rain."

"It wasn't raining when I left." Her voice was strain, and Arthur noticed it. She looked at his blonde haair, with so much color compared to Ivan's pale platinum blonde. And his skin, a bit tan, now that Yue had a good look at him with out any bright light just the normal, afternoon light.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't doubt you." Arthur kissed her hand in apology that gave goosebumps through Yue's body.

"Now, can you please tell me why are you engage to Ivan?" He wasn't looking at her now but at the flowers that was blooming for the season. Yue hold her breath, afraid to say the wrong word.

"Father, had planed it."

"I knew it. he was acting a bit strangely earlier." Yue step a few feet away from Arthur when he had suddenly smiling into thin air. Fairies. Yue had know that Arthur can see them for she can see her own country's creatures, but she can't see them here in England. sometimes she can feel them but those days were few.

"When did you know?"

"Just a few days ago, before they came." Arthur nodded.

"So are you going to marry him?" Arthur's voice was low but he looked at her with such an emotionless eyes that Yue might had though that he was fine with this.

"N-no."

"Your not sure."

"I-I'm. . ." Arthur didn't push anymore, he knows by now that Yue had a inner war with herself aswell. so he just pat her shoulder and guided her inside.

That night, supper was quite noisy with both Nicholas and Henry asking question to Arthur about his trip and more imortanty, business. Both fathers had invested something in the new world and had asked Arthur about it all. Yekaterina and Natalia had quietly listen with interest about the trip. They practically didn't touch their food.

Ivan on the other hand was chewing his anger on the mash potatoes, roasted duck, steam fish and the soap that made Yue stuck her tongue out. Yue had watched him interestingly; he ate like a young boy. Endlessly bringing the spoon up and chewing it, swallow then repeat.

Ivan can feel that he was being watch but just ignores it and continues to eat.

As the dessert came, Ivan then did notice, Yue. He gave a quick smile before resuming his contest in consuming the pie tart. He ate a hand full and gave a satisfied sigh and excused himself from the table.

Yue felt a little guilty about her feelings when she was about to marry him. Though, she still wouldn't admit it, but she was starting to care for him. When she saw how vulnerable his feeling were, when Arthur had hurt him.

She might still like Arthur now with all the hugged she got when both their parents weren't looking. But it felt different somehow. Like something wasn't right. That had pondered on her mind for the rest of the evening after their conversation on the garden.

After wrighting on her diary, she made a list on what to do tomorrow, with Ivan and Arthur. she would have another walk with Ivan in the morning, if his awake and a afternoon tea with Arthur to catch things up.

A/N: finaly finish. So how is it? Did I go too far? Or just right?

I'm sorry, if I made Yue's incident cut short. I wasn't able to research about hyperthermia, and in this country, we never get hypothermia, just heat shock. But I promised to do research on my future writing.
