A Fallen Sunflower [Russia x China Hetalia]

Rose Petals

Ivan walks into the building, his stomach churning, his mind filled with hatred. His usual smile is gone and replaced with a grimace. His breathing is quickening.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yao holds himself tightly, his mind racing. He opens the doors to the conference room to be met with dead silence and peircing eyes, filled with mockery and judgment. He goes to his seat, looking down at his bruised hands.

Alfred breaks the silence, "What was that, China?" He says, looking away from the elder nation.

"I-"

"Oh please," Norway scoffs. "We all know what he did. Belarus was right, he is just a good for nothing prostitute with no morals."

Yao's breath hitches, looking up at the blonde Norwegian. "Stop it, please-"

"Oh, look! China is gonna cry!"

Yao slams his hands on the table. "I didn't fucking want to, aru!" He yells. Honestly, that's the first time he had ever used the word fuck, and Kiku knew that.

Kiku stands. "Y-Yao-nii...!" Li Xiao takes a hold of his hand, whispering something to him. Kiku sits, eyes still locked on his big brother.

"Why are you all so quick to judge!? After what I've done for the majority of you, you- you-!"

The door flies open, Ivan standing in the doorway. His breathing, heavy, his hands, clenched around his pipe.

Ivan looks over at China. "Yao, come here." Yao, with no hesitation, runs to the Russian, hugging him tightly. Ivan pats Yao's shoulder, signaling for him to stay there.

"R-Russia-"

Ivan, walks casually to England, the blonde looking up at him in disbelief. Ivan smiles.

"I know what you did..."

Ivan swings his pipe, knocking England onto the floor. He begins to beat the English man with his pipe, delivering hard blows. The sound of metal against bone and flesh filling the room.

"You're a sick bastard...!" Arthur screams. Ivan swings his pipe again, Canada and America now on his back and arms.

"Me? I'm not the one who raped China, da?" He chuckles, his voice filled with hatred.

America and Canada let go of Russia, the room going completely silent. Ivan smirks, no longer swinging his pipe, only to make the English man suffer more.

"Cat got your tongue, England? Now that I've told everyone the truth?"

Yao stares in shock at Ivan. "Ivan..." He says softly.

"We've all seen the photos, and would England do that?" Belarus laughs, standing. The room begins to fill with agreements, Ivan staring at his little sister in shock.

"Nataliya!"

Katyusha, the personification of Ukraine stands and walks over to Yao, whispering something in his ear. Yao begins to cry and the two walk out of the room, leaving Ivan to stare in disbelief and hurt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"We need to talk, China. Please..." Katyusha whispers in Yao's ear. Yao, filled with guilt, does nothing but try not to let the tears spill.

"Okay..." Yao mumbles, his voice breaking as tears begin to leak from his eyes. Katyusha nods and leads the Asian out of the room.

"Don't listen to them. It's hard, but you are China, the eldest nation, the caretaker. Now, please tell me, what happened...?" Katyusha asks, concern clear in her voice.

"I-I..." Yao chokes out. "I didn't want to...I-I did it for my people, aru...!" Yao sobs out between hics.

Katyusha frowns, looking at the shorter male. She places a hand on his shoulder. "For your people...? What do you mean...?" She asks, her tone becoming more worried by the second. Yao looks down as tears fall from his porcelain face.

"He said if I didn't he would...h-he would- I didn't want- they..." Yao tries. He clutches his chest, his teeth beginning to vibrate.

Katyusha pulls Yao into a hug. "It's okay... I know it's hard... You're strong, you always have been... That's why I know you will get through this..." She reassures, her own tears falling onto the Chinese man's shoulder.

"B-but... It's hurts..." Yao whimpers.

"It will for a while, I know that... It heals over time..."

"How do y-you know, aru...?"

"Because I've been there, China..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"None of you understand! He was raped!" Ivan screams.

"How are we supposed to believe you!? We have no proof, Russia!" Lichtenstein cries, Switzerland hugger her tightly.

"It is a stupid rumor, how do we know Engrand did not harm China!?" Kiku adds.

(A/N: Hashtag Scrum Debate)

"We all saw the photo, that says it all! England did not rape China!" Norway begins.

Spain looks at Ivan sadly. "We don't know for certain if England really invaded China, no? So that means both is not confirmed."

"Everyone shut up!" Germany tries to shout. Normally it worked in a spilt second, but why now did it seem to have no effect as the arguing grew more heated and intense.

"What if it had to do with the rumor Belarus started and that seemed to give England the okay that China was alright with it?" Prussia asks, seeming to side with Russia and Japan. "After all it was just an accusation. We all know it isn't true no matter how much we would want to believe it, yes?"

"Prussia is right!" Ivan says, slamming his hands on the conference table. "This all started because of a false accusation Belarus made!"

'Why my sunflower...? Why him...?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Y-You've... Ukraine...?"

Katyusha pulls away and smiles. "Yes. It was a couple hundred years ago, so I got over it-"

"O-over a hundred years ago!?-"

"Hehe, I got over it in a few months. Only a few nations knew, like Russia and Canada." Katyusha smiles. "They helped me through it, even when it hurt the most."

Yao looks at her, his amber eyes still spilling. "Who- Who did it to you...?" Yao asks, his voice shaky.

"One of the American states." She chuckles lightly. "I won't say which though."

Yao looks down at the floor. "And... You got over it, aru...?" He asks, his hair falling over his face.

"Yes, I did. I let people try to help me, even if I didn't want it. They helped me see that it get better." Ukraine comforted.

Yao's crying begins to stop. "That will help, aru...?" He sniffled.

"Yes, I know it will." Katyusha replied, her smile becoming brighter as Yao seemed to be getting better. "Now, go show everyone who's boss!" She beamed, making Yao jump back in surprise. She could've swore she saw a quick smile for on the Asian's face for a split second.

"I-I can't possibly-"

"It's a joke, China! I know you will be able to soon though! Japan, Russia, and I will make sure of that!" She grinned.

Yao smiles softly. "O-Okay, aru. I'll take your word for it."

Katyusha goes to walk back into the conference room, turning back to tell something to Yao.

"Russia will help you because you are important to him. He loves you." She smiles before walking back into the noisy conference room; leaving Yao in shock.

"Ivan...?"
