Chapter 7 Truths

Back to Ravis
I slowly wake up to see Ivan holding my hand, his lips are gently pressed to my skin. I gently pull it away, he jumps at my movement.
" Hej." He says.
" Hej yourself." I muttered and rubbed my throbbing head.
" It's only a concussion. It could be much worse."
" Yeah... throwing me was unnecessary in every way possible."
"..."
" What? No "I'll crush you later?""
" I love you."
I did a double take, Love me?

" You okay? Did you hit your head too? You told me that I was too weak and-"
" I was wrong..."
He was starting to scare me, this is some tatic to get me to open and he'll crush me in my sleep. Or he'll feed me to Estonia's sheep, Don't ask okay. He looked into my eyes.
" I didn't know how to respond to the feeling in my chest when I saw you Ravis and... I now under stand it's love and now that I get that. I feel an urge to..."
" To what?"
He kissed me on the lips, I felt my eyes widen at first but I slowly melted into it. It was like a book I read.

As the sun goes down behind the mountains our tender kiss lit up the valley, our passion brightened all the dark days before this one when we fell in love.

I leaned in. To be honest, I hid my own emotions towards Ivan. I was too terrified to show them, I felt him hug me and I melted into his warm frame. For such a cold country he's so warm, he has a thick smell of Sunflowers that make the hug more welcoming. He's so thick it's like hugging memory foam, he pulled away and I let out a whine of protest. He gives a small laugh.
" We will continue this later. okey?"
" da... I'm cold."
He put his scarf around my neck and left to let the Yandere out. I smiled, best day ever. In love with the monster, Like in beauty and the beast... only no intentional black mail.
" I wonder when they'll fix the potion." I sighed.
" Two seconds ago privet!" Ivan says coming back in.
" That was quick."
" Da. Now where were we?"
" I don't remember."
He leaned over and our lips touched, such a nice feeling flooded my senses. They cleared me and Ivan carried me home again, he was big and warm. Very very warm, despite the common misconception that he's cold he's actually big and soft. I wouldn't mind cuddling him tonight, I felt the wind hit my small frame. Moscow is beutiful, it's a wonderful city but the cold throws you under the bus. Ivan felt my shivering, he unbuttoned his coat and held me by my armpits for a moment. I slid my arms into the coats sleeves against the big Russians arms, he held me up slightly and my head poked above the coats buttons. He buttoned us up and we went into his house, Estonia was cleaning up my blood.
" Make sure you get it out of the couch too Estonia." I said.
He up to scold me but instead faced Russia, I slipped out of the coat and ran upstairs to change.
" Wow... He really does want me." I said leaning on the wall.
The feeling of being loved without magic was welcoming.
" Laatviaaa!" Ivan called.
I threw my clean clothes on and I went down to the kitchen. Flour coated my face when I entered, I blew it off my nose. Ivan smirked, I grabbed a handful and pulled out a chair. I waited for him to resume cooking before I launched my assault into his face, he yelped and grabbed at me. I jumped off the chair and ran out laughing.
