Finding Love (China x Female Reader x Japan)

The Resolve of a Chinese Man

The black overcoat-clad man stood before us with the weapon gripped in his hand.

"Yare yare," he flashed one of his crooked smiles while slowly walking towards us.

Yao quickly moved forward and stepped between me and the gun. His worn-out body looked more tensed than before.

"Yao!" I tried reaching out for his arm.

"Stay back!!" he shouted.

I paused at his command, my heart leaping inside my chest.

Without looking back, he spoke in a low voice. "I will take care of him, aru. When you get the chance, run," he said.

My eyes widened on hearing that.

R-Run? Leaving Yao behind like this? How can I bring myself to do something like that?!

The boss had nearly approached us with a cunning grin.

My hands trembled as I muttered, lowering my head. "I-I won't..."

"(Y/n), listen to me, aru! If you -"

"I won't!!"

My voice came out as a desperate cry and I ran upto Yao, hugging him tightly from behind.

"(Y-Y/n)?!" Yao exclaimed.

I let my tears roll down freely as I pressed my body against Yao's. "I won't leave you...I will never leave you, Yao!!" I cried out.

My breaths became shaky as I cried onto Yao's back. The only thing that comforted me a little was his warmth.

"(Y/n)..." Yao whispered.

He put his hand over mine that was grasping him. Pressing my hand gently, he whispered something.

"Wô ài nì"

The man finally stopped in his track and gave one last snicker. His finger on its way about to pull the trigger.

I pressed my eyes shut. Yao turned around and pulled me into a protective embrace.

"Sayonara."

The sound of gunshot echoed in the air.

"Aaargh!!!"

My eyes shot open and I spontaneously looked up. "YAO!!"

To my relief, Yao was staring down at me in confusion. "(Y-Y/n)...? How -"

A shrill siren filled the area.

We heard several footsteps thumping the ground and let go of each other to look. Dozens of people in blue police uniform entered the place and surrounded us.

Some of them ran towards the boss who was holding his bloodstained hand in agony. They pinned him down to the ground and handcuffed him. Others ran around in different directions, arresting the other members.

I held onto Yao's arm anxiously when a familiar voice seized our attention.

"Hey, guys!!"

We turned to see Alfred and the other countries running up to us. Their faces were full of fear and concern.

"Are you two alright??" Arthur enquired.
"Mon chéri, please say they didn't hurt you or anything!" Francis urged.
"We were really worried about you," Ludwig said with a frown.

We...have been saved. We are finally saved....

I felt all my energy drain out of my body as my vision started to darken and I slowly lost my consciousness.

"(Y/n)?! (Y/N), ARU!!"

Everything went black.
