Snoring was suddenly interrupted by a rather loud 'beep'. Ivan, who had been enjoying a late afternoon nap on his livingroom sofa, grumbled and sat up, rubbing sleep from his eyes. There was another 'beep', and the Russian sighed, retrieving his phone from beside him. There was a new text message, from his younger brother Nikolai.

'Big brother, come to my house'

Ivan sighed. 'Why?'

'Because I have a surprise for you'

A surprise? Ivan liked surprises. 'Alright, I'll be there in a little bit.'

Smiling and hitting send, Ivan pocketed his phone and proceeded to get ready to leave. He freshened up a bit, put on a new change of clothes-up until now he had been spending a rather lazy day in his pajamas-and shoes, also putting on a jacket and tying his scarf properly. It wasn't really cold enough outside to need the scarf, but it made him feel secure somehow.

It was only a short distance to Nikolai's house; as per the younger's request, the two brothers had lived down the road from each other for years. Even so, Ivan was in a rather lazy mood today, and he decided to drive there regardless. Within minutes, he pulled up in the other man's driveway.

Approaching the door, Ivan gave it a few good knocks, then stepped back. Almost immediately, the door was flung open. Before Ivan could react, he was attacked in a tight hug. "Big brother, you've come! I've missed you!"

Chuckling a little, Ivan awkwardly returned the hug. "Da, er... I've missed you as well." Ivan really did love his brother, and his brother obviously loved him, but on numerous occasions Nikolai's love had proven to be a bit unsettling, and Ivan was more than a little wary.

Delight was evident on the Belorussian's face as he released his brother. "Come, come inside!" He said, a bit more gleefully than was normal. Nikolai had big plans for this evening. He had spent nearly all day preparing, and was now near giddy with excitement, which was extremely unusual for him.

Instead of being suspicious of the other's high spirits, which he really should have been, Ivan was just happy to see his brother in such a good mood. Generally, Nikolai had a rather cold atmosphere about him, and it was just good to see him out of that funk.

As Ivan nodded and allowed himself to wander inside, he blinked as a rather peculiar sight met his eyes. Lo and behold, the lights were dimmed. There were candles lit around the room, and some soft music was playing from somewhere. While he was observing all this, Ivan didn't even notice as Nikolai locked the door behind him.

"Come, big brother, come!" The Belorussian said happily, taking his brother's hand and leading him further inside. The whole house was like that: dimly lit with candles, and soft music playing, as if there were hidden overhead speakers somewhere. This was all starting to make Ivan a little uncomfortable, but his fears were soon falsely put to rest as he was led to a small table with two chairs, two plates of food, and a bottle of vodka with two shotglasses.

"I made your favorite!" Nikolai said happily, pulling out a chair for his brother.

Ivan nodded and he took a seat. "I see that. It looks quite nice, thank you!"

"Ah, I'm glad you like it!" The other said, and it was obvious in his voice that he really was happy to have done something his big brother approved of. Nikolai pushed the chair in, then went to sit at his own. "I worked all day making this food special just for you, big brother." He said, hiding a devious smirk. Yes, aphrodisiacs. Quite possibly Nikolai's best idea yet. He had put a little-ok, a lot, just to be sure it worked-into Ivan's food. It would pave the way for the big plans he had for this evening.
