I don't own hetalia!

Ivan groaned at the sound of banging at his door. He wasn't in the mood to entertain anyone after his date with five bottles of vodka last night. He didn't get any migraine that morning. Still. Why can't anyone leave him alone for a while? The sun wasn't even high in the sky.

He growled again for the door had screamed once again. He rolled from his side to get up removing the comfortable sheet with his legs. Before going to the door, he checked the clock at the mantle and rumbled at the time, it was only six in the morning. Too early for his liking now that he was in vacation.

Ivan grab the door knob and prepare to shout at whom ever tried disturbing him in the early morning. Though, that didn't happened for the moment the door was opened, his mouth was opened as well. Staring at him was stunning chocolate eyes that mesmerize him to even staying in his wet country for so long. Out of hobbit, he checked on her from head to toe again.

He liked what he saw. She was wearing her traditional cloths today. It was white with blue markings for design all over it and a darker blue on the corners of her sleeves and collar. It had hugged her voluptuous form so nicely. Ivan had never seen anything so beautiful in his life. Besides his homeland vast winter wonder land and sunflowers, this creature was going to be his and he planned on keeping her to himself.

Yue had been very annoyed when the Russian had refused to opened his door. She knows that she's disturbing him in holy hours but still, it was a perfect time to go have their walk when most of the occupants in the house were still in bed. And so was the Russian, Yue though, when she heard a moaned inside the room.

Though, the moment Ivan had opened it, Yue's face had turned three shades of red. He was naked from waist up. And Yue had a good look at how his well tones muscle look. He was quite muscular; that Yue had thought was fat. And his fair skin that glows in the dim light had really made him a good looking man.

Both had stared so long, but it may only be a minute. No one really cares, since both of them were intrigue by each other. Yue was the first one to come back from reality and cough uncomfortably to check if her voice was still there.

"G-good morning, Mr. Braginski." She was right, her voice cracked when she said that and Ivan raised a brow from it.

"Good morning, Yue. What brings you here early in the day? Am I late for breakfast?" though, they both know breakfast shouldn't start for at least an hour from now. Ivan just loved when Yue made a face at him for that ridiculous question.

"No, of course not. Is just that—" She looked right passed him to see that his room was a little messy and that she only just notice he smelled a lot like vodka.

"Have you been drinking all night?" Yue's voice was a bit piercing for Ivan, he might not have a hangover but he was a bit sensitive to sounds. He yawned and his morning breath tells it all. Yue covered her nose polity, if that was possible.

"Sorry to disturbed you in your recovery." With a quick turn, she started to walk to the west wing. Ivan walked to catch up and caught her wrist and returned to his room pulling her behind him while ignoring her protest. He rather not be walking in this house half naked if he would be scowled by his father.

He closed the door behind them when they reached his room. Though, it wasn't really a very smart thing to do if both unmarried individual was instead a closed door. Alone. Yue was quick to react and run to open the door. But Ivan prevented her from doing so when he had blocked the doorway.

"Please open the door."

"What's the point? We're getting married in the end of the month." Ivan flashed his childish smile at her. Yue couldn't believe a grown man, eight years her senior can make such a face. She has no trace of any childlike appearance to her since her maturity hits.

"Now, what brings little Yue to me? Did you miss me?" Yue pouted that made the Russian laugh.

"No. I was going to invite you for a walk." Yue dramatically turned around to look at the fully furnished room. The smell of vodka was so strong in the room. That made her eye twitched and nose sting.

"But, I see that you're… recuperating from your ordeal."

"I would love to go on a walk with you." Yue was amazed that with his height, he could freely move so quickly.

"Just give me a minute to get ready." He escorted her to a sofa near the mantle and he went behind a screen to change. Yue was horrified. How can he not feel any mortified, changing in front of a woman. Well, not in front but you get the meaning.

"I should go wait outside." Yue tried her best to not imagine on his undergarments and started to walk to the door. But something caught her eye. It was the light pink scarf he always wore even inside the house. It was perfectly folded on the chair beside the bed. Someone special must have given to him to be taking care of it so carefully.

"It was a gift from my mother." Yue sprang around with a jolt. Ivan was fully dress in riding clothes. He was rearranging his buttons on his coat, it was a new one. Since Yue hadn't return his old one yet.

"She gave it to me on my tenth birthday when I was thirteen." Yue looked at him as he takes the scarf and twisted it around his neck. He smiled at her.

"It was supposed to be Natalia's, but my mother said it doesn't fit her, she is more of a blue colour girl." Yue smiled warmly at the Russian's eyes says affection for his mother.

"Sadly, she wasn't able to finish the blue scarf for Natalia."

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok. It was a long time ago. I miss her though." He pulled out his a locket from his pants to show her a picture of a young women sited with her chin held high and proud with a baby rap in a blanket sleeping soundly. Yue looked at it with amazement. Now she knows were these three children get there good looks.

"Your mother was beautiful." Ivan gave a warm smile and closed the locket.

"She was a fine mother, she was the only one that get father to calm down." Yue was about to ask how that baby was but was cut short when Ivan motion to the door.

"Shall we go?" she nod but before Ivan open the door for her, he whispered something to her ear softly that made Yue blushed.

After Yue got her coat in the rack, they welcome the cool breeze of morning in the country. The morning dew was pleasant to smell and birds were singing their morning serenade was a pleasant bonus for them. As they walk with awkward silent to the garden, Yue looked up to see that Ivan intrigue to look at the sky.

"I would like to thank you properly for saving me the other night." Ivan looked down to listen to her.

"What for? It was only normal not to leave you out there."

"Still, if it hasn't for you, I would be long go—"

"Don't say that. I still think it was faith that brought me there." Ivan can see that she was about to ask about it and cut her to the chase.

"How are you feeling anyway? You did rise early to thank me when you should be resting." Yue blink her chocolate eyes but said in a calm tone.

"No. I'm fine. I have already rested well enough yesterday." With the mention of yesterday, Ivan had a sour mood. He had forgotten about Arthur was here. He needed to make sure that Yue had fall in love with him to get the wedding in place. He can still force her to marry him, but he wants this union to be a love match not a black-mail one.

"Are you really in love with Arthur?" Yue knew from the start that question would be ask, it still gave her a shock when she heard it from the Russian.

"I-I do." Her voice was barely above whisper but Ivan can hear it loud and clear. Ivan gave a loud sighed and continuous to walk forward, with his long legs it was easy for him to go a far long, but made it hard for Yue to catch up with him. But she was wearing her pants today so she was able to run towards him. He sat on the bench that was looking out to the pond were they can see a few fishes swimming freely without the care in the world.

Yue stood beside him and a bit afraid that he would erupt again and take his anger on her. He stared right at her with his violet eyes. Now that they were in the open sky with bright light, Yue can really see that his eyes were truly a deep blue that illuminates violet. She caught her breath short at that discovery. She also yelped when Ivan quickly grab her arm and place her on his lap.

Yue could feel, her face growing warm. From this position. He had hugged her from behind and places his chin on her shoulder. In a husky voice, he said in to her ears.

"Then I would make you fall in love with me." That brought shiver down her spin. She tried to get up but with the Russian's grip it was impossible. Ivan place butterfly kisses along her neck and his gloved hands was gently caressing her thighs. A moan had escape from Yue's mouth and Ivan had take it's opportunity in pulling her chin to the side to kiss her from behind. It was a lovely kiss for Yue. It was so different from Arthur's sweet pecks.

Ivan deepens the kiss and using his tongue to play with her teeth. Yue pulled back when something inside her grow warmer. This time, Ivan let her go when she tried to stand. But as she stood, her legs were weak that it gave it beneath her that she collapse on to the grass floor.

Ivan chuckled and helped her up. Yue made a face when she was help up and notice on the grass that got stuck to her dress.

"That wasn't funny."

"You're so cute, Yue." The blushed on Yue's face had grew darker, and she tired hitting the Russian with all her might. Though Ivan pretended to be hurt from her advantage, and Yue knew this. They laughed their heart out when Ivan had trip a rock, avoiding her increasing hits, from behind and fell on to the grass.

When they return to the dining room, both side of the family were startled with their grass covered children. But let them go, when they notice both the joy on both eyes. They ate happily on an English breakfast, with the noise mostly coming from YueMei and Yekaterina. Arthur had a few bruises from their fight yesterday that brought Ivan's smile wider. But they didn't start a fight.

"Why don't you go with us, Yue?" Yue's head snap from her book to look at her mother on the doorway. She was dresses with a heavy coat covering her, signifying a trip to a shop.

"No, I'm fine here." Here, indicating in the salon, with a good book on her hand and that Michael was playing with Arthur behind her. YueMei made a sour face but quickly remove it and walked toward her daughter to pull her from her sit.

"Nonsense, you must at least accompany your mother to town. It had been ages since we had a mother-daugther time." Yue looked behind her for Arthur's help, but he can only gave her a sad smile and a hand of goodbye.

"Bye-bye mama." Michael called out from Arthur's hands when they left them alone on the salon.

YueMei waited for her daughter at the door of her room to change into suitable outdoor clothes. Yue emerge with a pink dress and she tied her hair with a white ribbon behind her. And she was ready to go.

They went into the carriage and notice that Yekaterina and Natalia were inside waiting for them. Yue made an apolozy for making wait so long but what really caught her eye was when she glanced through the window, Ivan was saddled on a horse besides them.

"Ivan is coming?" the other three ladies follow her eyes and nodded.

"Well yes, he needs to look around for suitable clothes for the wedding." Yekaterina answered.

"Oh" was all she could reply.
