Ivan and I had finished the picnic when woke up.
"That was yummy, мое сердце (my heart) fills with pleasure, мое панда (my panda) ." Ivan spoke kind words, I loved his native tongue even if I didn't understand it. His words warmed me with the smile upon his lips, warmed me so that my cheeks had flushed slightly.
"Yao, you are cute when you smile." Ivan told me, which made my blush get darker to a noticeable shade of pink as I bowed my head so he couldn't see.
"xièxiè" I replied quietly, hoping he wouldn't realise.
"You like me? Да?"
"Y-yes, why, aru?"
"You are shy, you are usually bubbly, мое друг." He smiled at me, seeing my face darkening with deep pink, almost red.
I shifted uncomfortably, then started to pack up the picnic but I was stopped with a hug from the taller man, wrapping his scarf around my shoulders while keeping it around his own neck as he held me close.
"I like you Yao, go to the coffee shop with me on Thursday, Да?" His eyes were true, so I decided to go with him, in three days time.
We walked back to his home, on top of the sunflower hill. His home was white with roses and colourful flowers in pots against the front wall. Inside the walls were papered in a different colour for each room; the living room had a lavender and silver theme, the kitchen was green, white and brown.
"How do you like my 'holiday' home for breaks? It's nice, Да?" He seemed happy enough, and the room was calming for the mind. I smiled at him, my blush had died down which I was thankful for.
"I-it's relaxing, Ivan, -"
"Drink? Да? I have lemonade, jasmine tea... Vodka..." Ivan trailed off, knowing that I'd normally say tea.
"Could I have some lemonade, aru? Please?" I was playing with my ponytail again.
(I am such a girly-boy aru.)
I set the picnic basket down on the floor, by the coffee table, in front of the sofa. I sat quietly and admired the fish in the tank, there was a cylinder tank each side of the television on the unit. They both had guppies; some lyre tailed, some double sword tailed and some round tailed. Their colours were blue, red, yellow and pink. Patterns? Well, a few grass, lace and snake-skin.
"You like the fishies? Да?" Ivan leaned behind me, placing the drinks on the table.
"Your hair looks very good today. It smells like strawberries."
