Two Firsts (Russia)

Your POV:

You prepared for your first date with Ivan since he expressed his feelings for you. The plan was to explore the city and see where the night takes you. You felt anxious as he was coming over to pick you up and start the journey from there.

Then it dawned on you...

He's coming here...

As you stood before the mirror, you let out a squeal of embarrassment.

You look around your cramped apartment and see it's a complete mess! Quickly stopping what you were doing, you began cleaning when you heard a knock at the door. "Uh... I'll be right there!" You haven't finished yet, but you can't keep him waiting outside. With a sigh of defeat, you answer the door.

Ivan stood proudly, looking like a delicious snack-. "Hi, (Y/n). How are you?" He asks with a smile.

"Good..." You sulk, failing to mask your fallen efforts.

He raised a brow. "What's wrong? Vy raneny? (Are you hurt?)"

You wave your hand. "No, no, it's just-."

"If so, I would crush them under the weight of their sins and my fists." He states menacingly.

You laugh softly. "Thank you, Ivan. But don't kill anyone, okay? Come in."

"No promises..." He mutters under his breath and ducks his head to avoid running into the top of the doorframe.

"Please mind the mess. I was too busy trying to look as best as possible for our first date," You comment, avoiding certain spots of the floor covered with clothes and books, making an open spot on the couch for the man, patting the area, and showing him to sit down in the meantime. You go around the corner, into your bedroom, and continue to get ready.

"Oh, sunflower. But you already look amazing, so there's no need to stress out." Ivan said, sinking deeper into the cushion by the second. He panicked for a moment.

"You're adorable when you say things like that. And as much as I appreciate the compliment, it's different this time..." You admit, brushing past the hung clothes in your closet one by one.

Ivan didn't fully comprehend your feelings yet but didn't want to push it. "Okay, (Y/n)."

"There it is!" You exclaim in relief and run to the bathroom to change your top again. 

And once you did, you popped out with your complete outfit, ready to take on the day. "Ready!"

Ivan got up and gazed at your figure. "Beautiful as always..." He pats your head, causing you to blush. Hoping for more of a reaction from him, you accept this for now.  

"Thank you." You smile. "So, where to now?"

He hands you two tickets, which you recognize immediately. "No way, is this-?!" 

Tickets to an exclusive show at the Bolshoi Theatre.

"Yes, sunflower. It is. And if we want to make it in time, we should leave soon." He suggests sweetly. 

You nod happily, practically almost running out of the apartment with Ivan. 

>>>>>>

You were in awe of the establishment, taking in every detail. You had never been inside a place like this before, not because you couldn't, but because you never found the time.

You two walk through the doors leading into the theater room, seeing it is a full house. "Where are our seats?" You question, reading over the ticket information, only to be tugged away by Ivan. Passing by all the rows before stopping at the one right in front of the stage. He motions towards two empty seats in the middle. 

You two sit in your seats and wait patiently for the show to start. 

"You even got front-row seats?" You whisper to Ivan, making him lean down to listen better to your voice. 

"Anything and everything for you, sunflower." 

He sweetly replies, keeping his gaze fixed on the stage, noticing it's about to begin.

I like that response... 

As the curtains are drawn and the lights dim, Ivan takes the opportunity to hold your hand. It caught you off guard, but you felt happy about it. You try to remain composed as he plays with your intertwined fingers, but you can't help feeling nervous when his touch makes your body tingle. The only time he let go was during applause, but he quickly returned to holding your hand. 

Before you knew it, the performance had ended.

"That was lovely, wasn't it?" Ivan asks cutely, walking alongside you out of the building. 

"Yes, it was stunning..."

Even if I was distracted nearly the entire time! 

What was the point if I wasn't going to pay attention? 

His hands are massive in comparison with mine... 

"Would you look at that..."  Ivan comments while gazing upwards. 

You do the same and see that it begins to snow. "Wow..."

The snowflakes fell softly from the sky, one landing on your nose and melting instantly. "The first snowfall of the year..."

"V samom dele. (Indeed it is.)"

"It's getting late. Do you want to go back to my place and warm up?" You ask, grabbing his attention. "I can make us something if you want."

"It wouldn't be a bother, would it?"

 You shake your head. "None at all."

He nods. "Then yes. I'd love to. But first, if it's all right, I'd like to take you somewhere." 

You smile. "Okay! Lead the way."

>>>>>>

Ivan suggested that you close your eyes and carefully guided you until it was time. "Okay, sunflower." He says first. "You can open them."

As per the given instructions, you successfully reached the stunning Red Square amidst the serene snowfall, which added to the charm of the already beautiful place.

The lights illuminate the surrounding area like a lone streetlamp in the darkness.

"Krasivo, da? (Pretty, yes?)" He asks, stepping aside and giving you a better look. 

"Absolutely..."

"(Y/n), I know that it might have been a simple day for our first date, but I can't help but feel happy when I'm with you..." He shyly admits that his tall exterior sinks down to your size when he lets his guard down and shows his true emotions. "I'm excited for each day from now, knowing you're here with me." 

You smile softly and take hold of his hands. "Likewise." You bring him in and hug him tightly. "I feel safe with you like nothing bad can ever happen..." 

He hugs back, an overwhelming sensation sweeping over him. "No one has ever said that to me before..." 

She's so warm... 

He's so warm...

You and Ivan separate and lock eyes, both thinking the same thing. You both lean in, close your eyes, and prepare to kiss. The man had never experienced this sensation before, but he seemed to instinctively know what to do as his cold lips warmed up yours. 

You never expected him to be so gentle and sweet with this...

Then, you two pull away and chuckle nervously. "Amazing for my first time. I want more later~!" He expresses, embracing you again. 

You laugh as he sways you around, loving the feeling of his body against yours. 

Like a giant teddy bear.
