Chapter 5: The Reunion

Ivan had never initiated a kiss in his entire life. There were of course, those obligatory greeting kisses on cheeks and hands. His older sister Yekaterina and his parents used to kiss him on the forehead when he was very much younger. But he had never received a genuine kiss, nor desired to kiss anyone on the lips.

His experiences with kissing had been traumatic. Natalia, his menacing younger sister, tried to kiss him. More than once. So did that idiotic Francis Bonnefoy during the freshman induction ceremony. Natalia landed him in hospital whenever he refused to cooperate. To top it off, he had landed Francis in hospital, which gave him an even worst feeling since it had been his wish to get along with everyone in his new school. Since then, he had not entertained the idea of smooching anyone.

Well, except Yao. And suddenly, deep in his mind, a small voice told him that he would like to keep his first genuine kiss for Yao. He flushed at that thought. But he hated losing and did not want to fail his dare. He figured he would just make the kiss a very quick one.

"Ack!" a sudden burst of bright light in the pitch black corridor fell upon Ivan's eyes, causing them to screw up in pain from momentary blindness.

"Aiya! I'm so sorry aru! I didn't see you!"

The intensity of the beam diminished as the offending light source was lowered. He felt a small hand on his arm, steadying him from an otherwise imminent fall.

"Are you ok? Can you see me?" Ivan felt something waving in front of his face, but all he could make out were vague outlines and some white flashes from the sudden intrusion of light. The speaker sounded exceedingly familiar and comforting.

"Oh, of course you can't, silly me."

The light source was brought up again, this time directing the strong beam towards the ceiling and illuminating the face of its carrier by its side.

"There, better now?"

When Ivan opened his eyes again, he found himself staring down into soft, liquid-amber eyes rimmed with long, dark lashes. Not sly like Francis', not terrible like Natalia's, not filled with dread like Toris', Eduards' and everyone else he had laid eyes on. The eyes of an angel, framed by a porcelain white oval canvas. The angelic face that occupied his dreams night after night.

Yao.

The angel's small pink lips formed a lovely smile that made his heart race.

"Where are you going? Shall I take you there? It's difficult to wander around in the dark aru."

Stunned that the man of his dreams had appeared in front of him out of the blue, Ivan developed a passing amnesia.

Where was he going?

Then he remembered. Ah.

For the first time in his life, Yao realized how small he was as the large European enveloped his petite frame effortlessly.

"W... what are you doing aru!" Yao cried, flabbergasted as he felt his feet being lifted off the ground. He tried to flail his arms, but they were pinned to his side by his aggressor's muscular arms. His torch clattered to the ground and broke, plunging the dark corridor into deeper darkness.

"Aiyeeeeeee!" Yao let out a shriek as something moist and velvety snaked its way up his neck. This was a sick joke. A sick, sick joke that these juvenile European juniors had come up with. He needed to get out of here pronto. He thrashed his legs to get back to the ground, but his toes brushed helplessly against the hard cement floor.

And then, it was slithering up his chin, and over his mouth...

"Mmmph!" Yao protested as a pair of lips muzzled his own. He tried to open his mouth to shout, but all he accomplished was giving the other man's tongue greater access into his mouth. He tried to twist his face away, but the man had placed a hand against the back of his head, forcing him forward. Their tongues collided as Yao tried to block out the intruding muscle. But if anything, he only seemed to make the other man more excited.

A low growl escaped Ivan's throat as he kissed back harder, mistaking his victim's heaving chest as a sign of ecstasy like that of his own. Each time Yao moved his head, Ivan drove deeper inside. He was almost shocked to discover that kissing felt so natural and stimulating. He supposed that was the difference between love and hatred.

"Stop it stop it stop it stop it!" Yao shouted in his mind as tears of anguish and shame leaked from his wide, desperate eyes. Feelings of humiliation soon gave way to panic as Yao discovered that he was having difficulty breathing. The rogue was hugging him so tightly that his chest felt constricted against the other man's broad, hard chest. His only source of air was entering through his nostrils.

As his body and mind grew weak, Yao saw significant moments of his life flash across his eyes. The first time he got his pet panda... the first time his cousin Kiku gave him a Hello Kitty doll which he fell head over heels in love with... the first time he nearly committed murder when his other cousin Yong Soo drew a mouth on the adorable blank face and he had to rename the doll Gitty-chan... The first time he stepped into Hetalia Gakuen... The first time he received his student council badge... The first time he saw Ah Gong cry when he chose to take up anime drawing over martial arts...

Why why why why why? Now he was going to die, smothered by a perverted homosexual when he had a whole bright future ahead... Ah Gong would not forgive him...

Hade's judgment hall vanished, replaced by a brilliantly lit corridor. The brightness invaded his eyes so suddenly that Yao failed to realize immediately that the iron grip on his mouth had been released. The spell broke when Ludwig's voice rang out, "Oi this is a public place! What the hell are you two doing?"

"Help me! Save me!" Yao cried, hating himself for sounding like the crybaby he had slammed the phone down on just minutes ago.

A scramble of hands rushed forward, and the two broke apart, Ivan being held back by Toris, Eduard and Ludwig, while Feliciano supported Yao who was swaying unsteadily on his feet. Several other students had emerged from their rooms to see what the to-do was all about.

Respectful silence hung heavily in the air, until Feliciano wordlessly held up a napkin to Yao. Although it was already stained with pasta sauce, Yao hastily grabbed it to wipe off his tears and saliva.

"I... I... I.. I.. Y...y...y...you...the heck is this aru?" a red-faced Yao struggled to recover his speech abilities as he spluttered at an equally red-faced Ivan.

Taking the cue from Ivan's silence and Yao's confused and furious expression, Toris and Eduard started bobbing their heads up and down like roly-polys.

"It's really my fault... we were playing this game called truth or dare and then one of us dared him to kiss someone in the corridor... it was just a game... he never meant any harm... please don't punish him…"

Ludwig tut-tutted while Feliciano asked, "Ve~ what's truth or dare? Is it fun?"

Yao pinched his eyes closed and took a deep breath. "A game huh? You guys..." he gritted his teeth, "really need to grow up."

Toris and Eduard drooped their heads in shame. If it was even possible, the crimson on Ivan's face had gone one more shade deeper.

"Detention!" Yao barked suddenly, causing Feliciano to jump. "Three of you! Student council room tomorrow! 3 pm!"

Throwing a death glare at the abashed trio, Yao stalked off with a swish of his long hair.

"Um… is it safe to come out now?" a small blonde head poked out from Ivan's room.

"LATVIA!"
