Meeting:You were walking around the zoo alone, just wandering and wanted to see your favorite exhibit in the zoo. The Asia Panda Cafe*. It overlooked the entire section of the zoo from Asia. And your favorite animals, the pandas. Such soft, cuddly, and cute creatures. You sat at the one open seat near the panda exhibit, where two baby pandas were born and now allowed to be out with their mother. You began wondering why no one else was coming but then you realized that it was a Wednesday, no one sane was at the zoo! Oh well, more room for you. You put in your music and ordered your drink of preference, waiting to see the little bundles of fur.
"Hey! You see baby panda yet, aru?" A strange, hyper voice asked next to you. You jumped and turned, seeing a guy standing uncomfortably close to you. He had his long black hair tied back in a ponytail, pulled over his shoulder. His black eyes looking at you with impatient expectancy.
"Um, no. I just got here." You responded, looking confused as you leaned back. He sighed and straightened up, crossing his arms.
"Well, that suck balls! I just want to see baby panda." He sighed and looked back at you, then at the empty seat across from you. "Can I seat with you, aru?" He asked. You nodded and watched as he threw off his gigantic backpack and sat down with a relieved sigh.
"So, what is your name, aru?" He asked, taking out a small snack and chewing it quietly.
"(Y/N) (L/N). What's yours?" you asked.
"Wang Yao. You like pandas?" he asked, crossing his arms. You nodded and slowly. After a few awkward attempts at conversation, you both began a wonderful conversation about pandas and somehow it became a conversation about food. Eventually, you two did see the baby pandas and both of you gushed at how absolutely cute they were. After a little while, you even got his number.
Friendship: After you two saw the pandas you decided to walk around the zoo for the rest of the day, arguing and talking excitedly about cute things and snacks. You both gawked at all the wonderful animals from around the world and didn't even realize that it had gotten so late. It was dark and a few of the attendants were asking you to leave so they could close.
"Oh, it's so late! I didn't even realize it had gotten dark!" Yao shouted, stunned. You laughed and shook your head.
"Well, I guess I should be going." You said as you waved a quick goodbye. The next day he called you out of the blue, surprising you.
"What are you doing for dinner, aru?" he asked after a quick conversation about the weather.
"Nothing why?" You asked, looking suspiciously. He huffed at the other end of the phone, a soft voice speaking in the background.
"Go away, Ivan! I am speaking on the phone with a friend!" He shouted to the voice on the other end. After a few seconds of silence, he returned.
"Well, I was going to invite you to have dinner at my house." He said, pausing expectantly. You thought about it and smiled.
"Sure, I would love to." You replied. This response causing him to talk quickly and excitedly. You only managed to catch the last part of his little speech.
"I'll be at your house in a little bit to pick you up, aru!" He said, hanging up. You blinked, wondering how he even knew where you lived. But you forgot about that as he picked you up and drove you to his house.
"Thanks," you said, getting out. He huffed and threw his hair over his shoulder.
"Well, that what friend do, right Aru?" He asked, walking confidently into the old fashion Chinese house only a few blocks from yours. You smiled, happy to have such a hyper and strange friend.
Kiss:For the month you two had been hanging out, Yao slowly becoming more open and friendly, even offering to cook for you almost daily. You would laugh and tease him about his plushy collection and panda fascination but you would always point out to him that you felt the same way. You two would always bicker but then smile and hug it out. He was a surprisingly open person when a certain tall, scarfed figure wasn't around. All you knew about him was he was Yao's boogie man or something by the name of Ivan.
"I can't stand it! He always creeps in my house and hangs around. It's creepy!" he would complain to you, always causing you to say something nice or reassuring. But today was different.
"Aru? Would you like to fo to the Chinatown Lantern Festival with me?" He asked you over the phone one day. You looked at your calendar and checked to see if you were free. You were.
"Um, sure. Do I need to pick you up or meet you someplace?" You asked. He said to meet him at the south entrance of the nearest Chinatown at eight o'clock and agreed. So you got ready and found yourself waiting at eight at the beautiful entrance to Chinatown. You only had to wait a few minutes before someone tapped your shoulder. Yao held a unlit lantern out to you and a huge smile on his face.
"Let go then, Aru?" he said. You nodded and walked into the town as the festival went into full swing. Lights and lanterns were lit, food vendors were shouting for you to buy their food. After seemingly endless servings of Yuanxiao, you and Yao went to watch the performers dance around in lion costumes and actors walk on stilts. You were laughing and cheering, Yao smiling and laughing with you. When it was time for the lanterns to be lit, Yao grabbed your hand and dragged you to the man-made lake in the outskirts of town, buying the last boat and paddling the both of you out into the middle of the lake.
There were only four other boats out so it was relatively secluded. The flower peddles on the lake with the candles floating in the water with the stars reflecting off of the water made an almost magical atmosphere. You let your hand trail in the water as Yao stopped paddling and sat across from you, holding the two lanterns and a small lighter in his hands.
"Ready, aru?" He asked. You lifted your hand out of the water and took the lantern holding it as Yao lit them. You counted down until midnight when you let go of the lanterns. You watched as the lantern floated up into the sky, watching as they disappeared into the cloud of similar lanterns.
"Hey aru! I have a riddle for you. But it comes at a price." a said, looking at you with kind eyes. You smiled and turned to him, not going to lose the challenge.
"Ok, go." You said. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes before he started.
"Of no use to one,
Yet absolute bliss to two.
The small boy gets it for nothing.
The young man has to lie or work for it.
The old man has to buy it.
The baby's right,
The lover's privilege,
The hypocrite's mask.
To the young girl, faith;
To the married woman, hope;
To the old maid, charity.
What am I?" He waited, staring at you for a while. You sat back, thinking. You thought and thought but your mind wasn't getting it.
"Oh, fine! I give. What was the answer and what's the price?" You asked, hoping it wasn't too embarrassing. Yao leaned closer and smiled, leaning in just close enough so you could feel his breath.
"A kiss." He whispered in your ears. He then leaned in and kissed you gently, lips surprisingly kind and soft. You froze for a second, surprised. But after a second you relax into the kiss. He pulled away after a second or two, eyes half closed and looked happy.
"There, aru. That was the riddle." He said, leaning back slightly. "So, you be my girlfriend now?" He asked, head tilted to the side. You blushed but smiled, kissing his cheek.
"Yes. And thank you for the amazing night." You said, rubbing your hands together shyly. Yao grinned and chuckled, slowly rowing back to shore.
"But the night's not over, aru!" He warned, giving you nervous but excited chills.
Cuddles: Yao was one of the best cuddlers in the world. One day it was a little chilly so you two curled up on opposite ends of the couch. You were watching one of his favorite movies and eating little snacks. You shivered, partly because a part in the movie and the sudden chill from the chilly air.
"Hey, why don't you come here, Aru. I'll keep you warm." Yao said, pulling back the blanket and holding out his arms. You smiled and curled up into his lap. He threw the blanket over you and snuggled closer to you, wrapping his arms around your shoulder and putting his chin on your neck and shoulder. "Much better, aru," he muttered happily. You smiled and put your hands over his, snuggling happily. You spent the rest of the day cuddling, talking and watching movies. You two never realized that you two were being watched, nor did you hear the 'Kolkolkol'.
Jealousy:You were wondering around the city when you bumped into someone strange. He had short black hair in a bowl cut, white military uniform with a short katana at his side.
"Oh, I am very sorry about that. I was not cooking where I was going," he said, bowing a little. You brushed yourself off and smiled reassuringly.
"No big deal, no one is hurt. Hey, you look really familiar." You said, and he did. The man blinked and looked uncomfortable, but it was obvious that he didn't want to be rude.
"My name is Kiku Handa but I don't think I have ever met you before." He said. You frowned and sighed.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I just thought you looked like someone I knew. Never mind. Have a nice day." You said, waving shyly. Kiku nodded and relax, bowing in parting. You turned around to see Yao running quickly up to you. He stopped right in front of you, smoke coming out of his ears and angerly frowning at you.
"What you think you are doing? Why where you flirt with him? I much cooler and pretty than him!" He began shouting, startling you.
"Um, I wasn't flirting. We just bumped into each other and I thought he was someone else. No big deal." You said, confused. Yao began to yell and throw a fit, punching and kicking things all over the place.
"I saw you flirting with him! I saw you! You leave me that easy, aru?" He accused, looking upset. You blushed, getting embarrassed by all the stares you were getting by everyone else.
"Um, Yao, there is no reason for you to be jealous-"
"I am not jealous!" Yao shouted, pouting. You sighed, offering to go home and explain everything over fried rice and dumplings. That seemed to cheer him up... a little.
"Jeez, Yao. You get jealous so easily..." You mutter to yourself as Yao made fried rice and talked about 'young people today'. You wanted to make a comment but you thought you had enough excitement for one day.
Sneeze: You two were cooking spicy dumplings and spilled the black pepper, causing it to puff up in a cloud of sneeze fest. You sneezed like a normal human being and then blew your nose.
"HI CHI!" You jumped, turning around in surprise. Yao stood in the middle of the cloud, covering his nose and mouth with his robes. You blinked and laughed.
"Aw, that was so cute!" You said, making Yao blush.
"I am not cute! Sneeze are dirty and should never be cute. I am cleaning this mess up now." He snapped, blushing.
Funny Texts:
My Dragon: What would you do if I broke up with you?
That was Yao's first text of the day, needless to say, it gave you a heart attack and you almost called him in a hysteria when you saw his next text.
My Dragon: Just hypothetically of course because I love you.
You: I would get back with my ex.
My Dragon: WHAT! Then we are done, aru! thought you would care if I did but I guess not! GOODBYE!
A minute later you texted him back.
You: Hey, want to go back out?
My Dragon: I thought you would get back with your ex?
You: You are my ex.
Nothing came back and you worried that he really meant the whole break up thing. A few minutes later you door burst open and Yao rushing into the room, tackling you into an energetic hug, crying.
"I love you so much, Aru!" He shouted, kissing you like crazy. He was forgiven.
Tells You He's A Country:You were walking through your boyfriend's office, trying to do some spring cleaning. Old Chinese newspapers and dolls littered everywhere, making it a mess. You were just digging through a pile of papers when your hip bumped a file tower, knocking it over. you scrambled to pick them up, about to place them back where they were when a picture caught your eye. You picking it up, seeing it was also with an ancient ink drawing on bamboo paper. You picked up the bamboo paper, careful not to hurt it. You smiled, looking at how it was the image of the great Emperor Kangxi, with his advisers sitting next to him. You looked closer at the adviser, noticing something strange. it was the same person as Yao, at east when he drew himself. You frowned, looking through the other photos in confusion. One more picture, taken in black and white of Yao, Alfred, Ivan, Arthur, and Francis all standing in the Hall of Mirrors. You flipped over the picture, looking at the date.
1919
You flipped through more photos. Yao was in every one of them, ranging from fifth-century painting to World War Two. You stared at the images, confused. You decide to talk to Yao about it. Most likely you were jumping to conclusions but you had to make sure. You found Yao outside, talking with Panda. You tapped his shoulder and held out the picture to him.
"Yao, are you in some sort of acting group? Or reenactment group?" You asked, cringing at how stupid that sounded. Yao jumped up snatching the picture out of your hand.
"NO! Why you go through my stuff?!" He shouted, looking scared and angry. You stepped back, holding up your hands.
"I was just cleaning up and saw it. So, why are you in so many of these old painting and pictures?" He paused, then sat down heavily and explained to you that he was the personification of the great nation China. You sat down and absorbed this information. He waited nervously, almost jumping up and down with anxiety. You smiled.
"Ok, I guess that explains a lot." You said, hugging him. He hugged you back, sounding surprised.
"You not angry with me? It's not weird?" He asked. You laughed, pulling away a little bit.
"Well, it is a little weird but so am I." You kissed him, cuddling up into his chest. He smiled and kissed the top of your head as Panda joined the cuddle fest, not wanting to be left out.
"I love you, my little dragon..." He whispered, feeling as if an enormous weight had been lifted off his shoulders. And feel in deeper in love with you.
Make out:Yao and you were watching a movie about some Chinese general and war. His head was laying in your lap with his hair untied, nibbling on a chip. You were sitting up on the couch and running your hands through his silky hair. At some point he started rubbing your thighs, then he was sitting up and gently kissing you. Your hands were still in his hair but this time, you tugged just a little. The response was instantaneous.
"You want the dragon, Aru?" He growled, kissing a little harder. You blinked and pulled away, looking into his mischievously twinkling eyes. You blinked surprised but you smiled, kissing him back just as roughly. He ran his hands through your hair, fingers sliding like snakes down to your back to your hips. Slowly you felt like you were going to suffocate with the number of kisses when he switched to your neck, hands sliding up under your shirt and rubbing relaxing circles as he went. When he hit your sweet spot he began to gently nip at the spot, causing you to groan. He ripped off your shirt, kissing the newly exposed-
"Knock, knock! Yao, I wanted to talk to you about-" A huge man dressed in a long gray coat and huge tan gloves stood in the window, smiling and blinking in confusion.
"Get out of here, creepy ass! Can you not see I busy!" Yao shouted, covering your party exposed body with his. You blushed, trying to disappear into the couch.
"Sorry..." The man mumbled, disappearing from the window from whence he came. Yao sighed and hugged you, burying his face in the crook of your neck.
"I sorry for mean Russia for scaring you. He's so creepy..." He said, shivering. You patted his head, smiling. He lifted his head, grinning. "But I make it better!" He said, kissing you and reigniting a passionate make out session.
Meeting The Parents: "Yao, it's fine! They're not going throw you out!" You grabbed the fighting Yao, who was shaking and trying to find an excuse to get out of meeting your parents. It was a casual thing. Dinner and some tea, not that bad. Besides, you had a backup plan in case you two had to make a quick exit. You knocked on the door, keeping a firm grasp on Yao's hand and squeezing it reassuringly. Your mother opened the door, smiling.
"Aw, my little girl is growing up!" She gushed, grabbing your cheeks between her hands and kiss you all over your face. You jerked back, blushing.
"Mom!" You shouted, making her grin and giggle. Yao just watched, staring at the exchange with a blank look. Your mother then turned to Yao and frowned. She then leaned down and whispered in your ear.
"Are you sure he's a man? He looks like a china doll." She commented. You yelled at her and then began thinking that it might not have been such a good idea to introduce him to your parents. Yao then bowed to your mother, being his charming self and totally winning her over. Though throughout the dinner, she was trying to convince him to cut his hair. Your dad was a typical dad, giving him the critical and overprotective interview. Yao took it in stride, even firing back his own question. By the end of the night, your parents bid the two of you goodbye.
"So, they like me?" Yao asked critically, gritting his teeth and crossing his fingers. You laughed and hugged his arm, getting into the car.
"Yep. You are perfect." And he knew it, smiling and bragging the entire way home.
You Get Hurt: "Yao? Yao, I need your help making the Sweet and sour pork?" You asked, making dinner for the two of you. He nodded, almost taking over the cooking. You went to turn on the hot water when you found out that the water was a little too hot. Especially when it came from a boiling pot. Yao had been trying to make his special ramen at the same time and forgot to pour it out. It only gently burned you, causing you to snatch you hand back, wincing.
"You alright, aru?" He asked, forgetting the food and darting to your side. You nodded, smiling.
"Yeah, it's fine." It hurts like hell, you thought, the mild burn starting to throb. He frowned and held your hand in his, gently observing the scale. he smiled and darted out to his herb garden, gathering the medicinal herb he needed. He came back and started taking care of the burn immediately. He put his medical male herbs on the burn , laughing.
"I sorry for forgetting about the noodles. You should also pay more attention." He warned, wrapping up your hand. You rolled your eyes, smiling at him.
"I still think it's your fault for leaving it in the sink. And still almost boiling!"
"I said I was sorry!" He said, now looking distressed. You let him off the hook after he gave you a plushy, though. And a lot of hugs and kisses.
