The Sound of Silence (RusCan)

Chapter 11: "I just got here!"

The two finished their breakfast before returning to the living room to watch TV.
Matthew was a little disappointed because everything was in Russian, but he pretended to understand, he wouldn't want Ivan to feel bad.
"You know as well as I do that you don't understand Russian Matvey~"
"Yeahhh..." Matthew blushed.
"What do you want to do then? We could always watch another one of your movies." Ivan suggested.
Matthew shrugged, "eh. Maybe we could go out and do something? Like go to the park or something."
"Нет, I don't really feel like going anywhere. Besides, people here don't take well to...relationships like ours...to put it lightly." He sighed.
"Right, hm..." Matthew tried to think. Ivan chuckled, wrapping his arm around him.
"You know I've only been to Canada a couple times." Ivan stated.
"What does that have to do with anythi- oh wait. Are you implying we go to my home?" Matthew questioned.
"Да, I would like that."
"I just got here!" Matthew whined playfully. "I don't wanna take another 14 hour flight."
"It was only a suggestion Matvey~"
"Wait. Actually that's a great idea! I've never really had anyone but my family over before, it would be so cool to have actual company. Oh! And, and, I could take you to all my favourite places! It would be so much fun!" Matthew went on.
Ivan chuckled, "now you actually want to go back to Canada with me? Is that what I'm hearing?"
"Yes ma'am!" Matthew blurted
"I don't know how to feel about you calling me 'ma'am', but I'll gladly go to Canada with you Matvey." Ivan smiled.
"Yay!" Matthew giggled. He pulled out his phone, booking another private flight to Ottawa. "When do you want to go?"
"Any time? We just woke up a short while ago." Ivan chuckled softly.
"I'll book for this evening then! You'd better get packin' Russie boy!" Matthew cheered in excitement.
"Again no comment." Ivan chuckled
"What'd I do?"
"You're just silly," Ivan smiled, kissing his cheek softly. He got up to start preparing for the trip. He went upstairs leaving Matthew in the living room.
Kuma walked in, Matthew almost forgot about him in all the fuss, he must've found something to do in all that time. "HUNGRY!" The bear yelled.
Matthew nodded, getting up and going into the kitchen. He looked for something to feed him, by some miracle he was able to find a nice salmon for him. He fed it to the bear, he figured that since they weren't going to be in this house anyway, Ivan wouldn't be needing a random fish. If he did, Matthew would buy him a new one. Matthew went back into the living room checking his phone; it had no service. He'd forgotten to actually get service for international travel. One well, wasn't like he got any messages anyway.

Ivan pulled some clothing out of his closet and dresser. He collected his laptop for work and some important documents and put them in his laptop bag. Once he was done packing, he brought his bags to the hallway. He'd forgotten to take the laundry hamper downstairs again. He knocked the closed hamper over and kicked it down the stairs. It landed at the bottom with a thud.
He grabbed his bags and took them downstairs, at the bottom he picked up the hamper as well, dragging it along.

Matthew walked over to him, "what in the world, was that?" Matthew asked.
"My laundry."
"You chucked your laundry down the stairs?"
"Pretty much," Ivan said, setting down the bags. He threw the hamper down the hallway, in from of the laundry room door.
"That poor, poor hamper," Matthew giggled.
"Oh well," Ivan chuckled.

Ivan led Matthew back to the living room, sitting with him on the chesterfield. He turned on another one of Matthew's movies. Matthew cuddled close to Ivan's side, looking up at the screen. Ivan covered them up with a fuzzy blanket, while gently rubbing Matthew's back. Matthew closed his eyes, taking in the Russian's soft touch. Ivan smiled happily, continuing to rub Matthew's back. Matthew smiled, nuzzling his face against Ivan's shoulder. Ivan held onto him gently. He enjoyed each second of this, he wished it would never have end.
