I don't own Hetalia.
With a grunted, Ivan woke up in cold sweat. Jolting up from the bed he tried to calm himself a bit and stared at the darkness that wrapped around his fully furnished room. He placed his palm on his sweat covered forehead and removed the covers to get up the bed.
"That dream seems so real." He murmured and sat down on one of the leather chairs. He blinked his blue-violet eyes and recalled the dream as the imaged run through his head.
Yue was happily sitting on the grass with a baby cradle on her arms; she smiled at the violet eyed baby and called to the two children running around the flied. Then he was there, sited behinds her and grabbed his daughter from the picnic ground and tickled her while their oldest son ate on the food Yue had cooked.
Then all of the sudden, Arthur came in the picture destroying their perfect family image. He came and grabbed their youngest son and cut Yue's face and pulled a gun on their daughter. Ivan in impulse charged and tried to stop Arthur but had woken up when the gun bullet hit his chest.
And now back to reality, Ivan shivered at the thought. Have a family with Yue was nice and had a warm sensation coming from inside but the possibility that Arthur might not be too happy when he stole Yue from him. Ivan might grin with pride when he won her heart completely from him, since he knows that he had a few already, but putting her in danger was risky. He had to make sure that Arthur would marry that boisterous American girl.
Ivan checked the clock and went to the basin to wash his face before putting on his clothes and scarf and went to Yue's room.
He plastered a smile on his face to greet the early raisers as he passed by them. When he was facing the wooden door, he knocked before opening. Ignoring the fact that no one told him to go in. half way opening the door, he stop at the sound of Yue and Arthur's voice. Quietly he closed the door slightly and silent to the conversation.
"What do you mean that she was just jesting?" Yue's tone was a little ear-piercing that Ivan imagined Arthur would wince.
"Like I said. There is no way that I would marry her. I love you." Ivan's hand gridded the knob tightly and would like to go in and have a draw with the Brit but control himself.
"B-but I'm already engaged." Yue gave a weak replay. A sound of foot step had crossed the room.
"So? We can elope. We'll live a life free of ranking and rules."
"Arthur, you know you're throwing away an Earldom if you do that."
"I don't care! As long as I'm with you." That was the last Ivan could handle. He rapidly opened the door that shocked the two pairs about to kissed. That made Ivan's blood boil more.
"Ivan!" Yue stand up from her bed and Arthur from kneeling in front of her.
"Get away from her." Ivan said with clenched teeth and was refraining himself from attacking the Brit with a knife. Arthur step in front of Yue and was gave his violet eyes a stare.
"No."
"Then I'm taking her away." Ivan sprang forward and knocking the Brit to the ground and grabbed Yue's wrist. Out the hall Yue was fighting with his hold.
"Ivan! Please let go. Arthur might be hurt." She pleaded, the mention of the other male name had made Ivan carry Yue to the dining hall, were some of the servants were surprised to see that Yue being carried there so they left them and returned to the kitchen. When he let her down, she hadn't the care to even arrange her blue gown to refrain from being crippled but sprung around to go back to her room.
Ivan was faster so he grabbed a hold of her arm and pulled her back to his mouth. He gave her a deep passionate kissed that Yue had spotted mountaineering. He pulled back to give them both to breath before diving in to get some more, his cold lips touches her soft and warm lips had made him aware that he didn't wanted to give her to anyone else.
Yue had forgotten about her surroundings the moment when he let her go and saw the passion in his violet eyes. Her hands had circled around his neck and she can feel his hands were massaging her back and hips that made her moaned.
When they parted, both panting and the room had felt a bit warmer to them. Yue hold the eye contact with the Russian that was scrolling somehow. She turned to see that Arthur was standing there with mouth agape and his face seems a little pale.
"Arthur, wait—" Arthur hold his hand up and turned to leave the two alone. Yue could hear Ivan chuckling and hugged her again.
"Let him go, Yue." He said in a seductive tone, as he kissed her neck. Yue stiffened but Ivan changed that when he massaged her back with his large palm. She immediately moaned. Ivan smiled and continuous to kissed her neck.
Ivan jerked when someone was pulling his pants and he hold Yue by the waist to smile down at the little curious eyes of Michael. Yue turned bright red at the sight of her little brother but she pick him up. Ivan let go of Yue as she turned to the table to let her Michael pick whatever food that was available on the table.
Ivan had a warm feeling growing inside of him as he saw the picture in front of him. Yue holding a child as she smiled and gave full heartedly his chosen bread. He really wanted to start a family with her. Then the site of Michael's eyebrows had remembered him his dream. A sour face followed, I need to change my act to have a peaceful family with Yue, he thought.
Not for long, the Jones twins had arrived for breakfast and they all went to the hall. Arthur came in last but he didn't look much any good as before and he practically ignored Amelia and Yue.
The dining hall was covered with thick cloud of tense nerve. The older members would make up a few words to start a conversation but would always fall short when implied to Arthur and Yue. Ivan smiled at the sight of Arthur. He knows he had won Yue's heart, she just had to admit it to him and the wedding would take place in no time.
After breakfast, YueMei suggested that they go back to the town since they needed to check for the progress of the gown. At that, Arthur took Yue away to the library for a talk.
"Please look at me Yue." Arthur pleaded. Yue was looking on the wooden floor, she wanted to see her shoes but the light blue gown she wore had covered them so she looked at Arthur's instead.
"Arthur. I'm sorry." She gave a soft whisper that Arthur wouldn't have caught it.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm so-sorry." Yue broke down to her knees and cried. Arthur was shocked. He didn't expect that from Yue. He had known her as a strong lady with a dark past. Now she broke down in front of him for the first time.
Arthur quickly went to her and patted her shoulders. She swiftly grabbed his arms for support and hugged him on the floor.
"Shh, it's alright Yue. Calm down." She violently shook her head and was having a hiccups fist as she calmed down from her emotional breakdown.
"A-arthur. I'm sorry." Arthur was rubbing her back to help her breath and gave her his handkerchief for her to blow. Arthur waited for her to calm down, so he looked around the library he used to stay as a young lad. The floor to ceiling windows had given them enough light outside and the stock of books from shelves that reaches the ceiling had always been a comfort for him. The once quite room was now filled with Yue's hiccups and Arthur's breaths.
"I-I had fallen for the Russian." Yue said after a few minutes in silent. She felt Arthur stiffen but was still holding her from the floor. Arthur was so afraid that what he saw earlier that morning was true that he smiled to the now mocking books that he loved and cherished. Then a chuckled and followed by a loud laughed that Yue had removed herself from the Brit's hug and regretted what she said. He had thrown his head back and was laughing on the floor.
"Arthur?" Yue asked as Arthur's laugh soften to nothing but a cold stare.
"Yue." His voice was a bit icy that brought shiver down Yue's spine. He sat up and reached out his hand to touch Yue's stained face.
"You're a beautiful women, Yue." He said, a bit softer as his thumb removed a fallen tear from her cheeks.
"Stop crying, love. It ruins your pretty face." As he kiss both of her cheeks before pulling her to a hug.
"I promise I wouldn't disturb you and that Russian bastard again. But" He removed the hug and took her face with his palm to face him. Honey-coloured eyes, swollen with dry tears met the teary emerald eyes.
"I would never love a girl as much as I loved you." Arthur got up and pulled his hand out to help her up. He escorted her out the library and said to her.
"Your mother is waiting for you to try that wedding gown, love."Yue nodded at him and hurried to the front door. Arthur saw her go before shutting the door closed. He walked idly to the coach and sat on it with a heavy sighed.
He touched his stained cheeks and chuckled again. This time though what come after was a sad sobbing cry.
Yue hurried her way to the front door. YueMei was there with Michael holding her yellow gown. She smiled at her but gave a worried look when she saw her swollen eyes and nose.
"Yue what's wrong?" She came to her daughter like any other mother would. Yue gave her a assured smile.
"It's nothing mama. I would like to ride to town on my own though." Yue said that gave her mother no reason to be worried.
"I just need to cool my head." YueMei's lips were firmly shut.
"I assure you. Everything is fine." Then Ivan came from the corner and saw Yue's face. Though she gave him an eloquent look and walked toward him.
"Do you want to go ride with me to town?" her question surprised him but he willingly accepts.
As they mounted their horses, they start off with a steady pace that can still give civilized conversations. Yue looked at Ivan with a worried look as she glanced how the Russian seemed handsome to her all of the sudden. How his strong jaw line attracted her, his pale features indicated unhealthy but she knows his healthy as a horse and how his eyes changed colour when on different shade of light had her mind floats in the air.
"Yue?" Ivan's childish tone snapped Yue's thought.
"I'm sorry that I took you from Arthur like that. I'll make up for it." His face wasn't a happy one but Yue can tell that he was feeling a little guilty acting like a spoiled child.
"don't worry about it." Ivan's face lighten up.
"I'm just glad that everything is clear out." Yue didn't saw Ivan's eyes sparkle as she had pulled the rein to a full gallop towards the town. Yue's heart was beating not just the adrenaline but also with the realization that she was going to marry someone she love.
Though, she felt bad that she had broke Arthur's heart but now that her head was clear. She knows that the Amelia Jones, with the little time they spent together yesterday had given her a conclusion, would make a pretty good match for his serious attitude towards life. As she was with the childish Russian. My, she shocked herself. Not even married yet and she already had a project in mind.
Yue giggled whole heartedly as she made her plan. As soon as she was married, she would make sure that Arthur fall for that young lady as she had fall so her man. She turned around to see him and his horse galloping towards them and she giggled again. It would be a pretty good match. She can help Ivan to mature and he could help her to be less middle-aged and acted like her aged. Her father had been right. This would be good for her.
They arrived before the carriage as usual and that they had a pleasant walked around the park. Autumn had officially arrived that the park was blessed with beautiful orange and red coat. And Yue had pushed Ivan to one of the fallen pile of leaves. She came crushing down on him as well. They laughed their heart out even when they were chased by the gardener for ruining his hard work.
They met their family at the seamstress shop and were laughed at as they were covered with some stubborn leaves.
The dress was halfway done and Yue for the first time was happy to comply with the suggestions. Mathilda had tagged along. Yue liked her. Even though she usually just smiled, she had great taste when it comes to cloths and want kind of fabric to used to make it more gorgeous. When asked how she knows about all these. She just said that she had been to Paris a few times with her uncle that she had got a hang to the latest fashion designs.
After letting Ivan wait outside they went to a flower shop to arrange the flowers be delivered at the estate in the next two week. As they went home, Yue and Ivan had a pleasant walk home from there on. They savour the beauty of autumn in the country.
A/N: I'm sorry if it was rushed. I had to rewrite this twice to make it looked like it is but still it came out like this. Some comments and suggestions?
Only two or three more and we are rapping up this story though I might right Mathilda's or Arthur's version if I'm feeling it. Hope you guys love it.
Have a great day everyone!
