Chapter
14
Unfortunately,
Ivan was forced to stay after school to have a small talk with his teacher. He truly
wanted to skip his “detention”…and that was what he tried. However, it was
always when he absolutely didn’t wanted
to, that the teacher actually paid attention to him.
“Ivan! The
headmaster told me you were causing trouble again.”The Italian teacher remarked
before the student in question could leave.
“I wasn’t
causing any trouble.”Ivan simply replied. He wanted to get out of this detention
fast.
Usually, M. Vargas was a very relaxed teacher who was pretty carefree
when he would took care of detentions. With him, it was either the detention
was long and boring, or it was rapid and brief. The Russian always hoped for
the second option, but today he wanted that option more than any other days.
“From what
the headmaster told me, apparently Ravis seemed to be really scared earlier
today.”The teacher pointed out, trying to remember what the German informed
him.
“But he
always seems to be scared.”The student defended himself. He knew Ravis since he
was a little kid and not once he saw the Latvian without his typical scared
expression. Ivan didn’t understand why everyone was blaming him for that…it was
just a coincidence that the small boy only panicked when Ivan was around him,
that’s all…
“…You have
a point.”M. Vargas admitted with a thoughtful expression.
Does that mean
he could go away? This was the only thing Ivan wanted to know!
“I have
done nothing wrong! I was just spending time with my friends.” The Russian
explained. “Can I go, now?”
“I don’t
know…Germania did seem pretty serious when he asked me to talk to you….”The
other stated with a hesitated look. He would love to let the student go; he
also had business to take care after class, although he couldn’t shake the
feeling he would regret being too carefree with this detention.
Darn! The blond lost all his hopes; this was M.
Vargas’s way to say that he would have to endure a long detention.
“…But if
you promise to not cause any more trouble, I can let you go.”The Italian
finally concluded. This answer brought a big smile on Ivan’s face.
“I
promise!” The Russian said, not losing a second to get out of the class.
Well, Ivan
was glad to see that he got rid of this problem that quickly. Although, he only
had been in
“detention” for about 5 minutes, he felt like he lost enough time
there.
Cheerfully,
he headed to the café, more than eager to see his pretty maid again….
…however,
when he arrived there, he sadly saw a scene that he didn’t like.
“Mon Joli,
can I have another coffee, please?” Some French blond asked with a glorious,
yet seemingly perverted smile.
“Aiyaa,
don’t call me like this!”The Chinese waiter replied, his cheeks softly blushing
cutely.
Of course,
the scene from Ivan’s point of view was over exaggerated, since actually nothing
unusual happened between Yao and Francis’ conversation….nonetheless, the
Russian almost had a stroke when he saw this.
He arrived a
little later than usual, and yet, someone else was at his usual place and flirting with his crush! Plus, Yao wasn’t doing a thing to stop it!
What was that?! How in the world could Yao let
this happen?!
He suddenly had a mixing feeling of sadness and
anger; he felt like his heart has been shattered in thousands pieces. However,
one thing was sure; he wasn’t going to let this sort of thing happen. These two
had some explaining to do!
“Kolkolkolkolkol~”
“Aiyaa!!
I-Ivan!!” Yao expressed the moment he recognized the creepy sound. He was
certain that the Russian wouldn’t be happy to see that Francis was at his usual
place.
“I-Ivan?
Something is wrong?”Francis inquired with a wary smile.
“You are at my place! Go away now!”The Russian
harshly ordered.
“Ivan,
stop! You can’t force him to get out just because he is at your usual place
aru!”The waiter snapped, discontented with the other’s behaviour.
“kolkolkolkol~ why are you protecting him?”Ivan
asked, now very Jealous. He couldn’t understand why Yao was taking the side of
the French pervert! It was making him even more sad and irritated.
“This has
nothing to do with him!!”The Asian rapidly answered “You simply can’t do that
aru. It’s ridiculous; there are many other available places here.” He
explained, hoping it would calm his stalker. There was absolutely no need to
make a big scene because of a stupid table, especially when there was no one
else in the entire café. Unfortunately, it didn’t stop the Russian from being
upset.
“Yao-Yao is
breaking my heart.”The Russian whined with a saddened tone.
“Aiyaa! Ivan,
don’t act like this!”Yao said with a sudden soft voice.
“…”
Apparently,
it seemed like both Ivan and Yao forgot about the fact that Francis was still
there. In fact, this one was more than intrigued with how the two were talking.
No matter what Yao said earlier about not having a relationship with Ivan, it looked
like they were indeed sharing some kind of relation.
“Am I disturbing
a date between your two?”Francis suddenly questioned, with a curious smile.
This question completely startled the two other; they somehow forgot that the
French was still there.
Obviously,
Ivan was about to rapidly say “yes”, unfortunately for him, Yao had some other answer…
“NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!!!”
For Ivan,
his little time after school with Yao was considered a date, but, sadly, it was
true…they weren’t officially dating…yet!
However, it will come soon, Ivan was sure of it! That is, if ever Francis would
go away and stop jeopardising their relationship.
“Yao-Yao,
why can’t you tell him to get out of here?”Ivan demanded, still having a bitter
tone.
“I can’t
force him to get out! He is a customer just like you. And there is absolutely
nothing between us, so stop making yourself ideas of us aru!”The Chinese
confirmed before leaving them to go to the kitchen.
Ivan
couldn’t believe that! He was definitely NOT a customer like others. Yao, from
all the people, should know that!
The Russian
watched Yao slowly returning to the kitchen with a disappointed look. He came
here to enjoy an alone time with him and he decided that he will have it!
If Yao
wouldn’t do anything about it, he sure would.
***
“Hey mon joli,
smile!”Francis told the waiter.
“I already told
you to not call me like—“
And Yao
couldn’t finish his sentence, because, once again, a flash startled his view
and temporarily blinded him. The next thing he saw was Francis with a small
mischievous smirk.
“Don’t take
pictures of me!”The Chinese ordered; his face completely red of both
embarrassment and frustration.
“Aw, am I
embarrassing you, Yao?”The European remarked, not bothering to listen to the
waiter.
“J-just
stop it!”Yao stuttered, completely tired of Francis’ schemes.
“kolkolkolkolkolkolkol~”
And apparently
he wasn’t the only one; Ivan, who decided to sit at the closest table to
observe them, was holding his faucet pipe very tightly, more than anger of all
this flirting. It was needless to mention that the atmosphere couldn’t be any
colder…and scary…
Aiyaa… Yao couldn’t believe that Francis wasn’t affected
by the murderous glare that Ivan was giving him.
“I-Ivan is
there something you want aru?” He finally decided to talk to the Russian; maybe
discussing with him will ease the negative ambiance.
It didn’t
take much time for Ivan to give the waiter a small smile, at least, Yao was relieved
about this.
Finally,
Ivan could have Yao’s attention all to himself. Now was the time to compliment
him and be a better charmer than Francis in hope of impressing his crush.
“Can I have
a chocolate cake my beautiful sunflower?”Ivan asked with a sweet and cheerful tone.
“What?! What’s up with this name aru?!” The Chinese
replied in shock, blushing at the mention of this somewhat tender name that
really came out of the blue.
“I thought
this nickname matched you perfectly since you are as beautiful as a sunflower
da?”The Russian explained, giving a wink to the waiter.
“…” The
Asian looked at the blond with a very confused expression, gaping. He couldn’t
say a thing. Actually, he didn’t know what to say exactly. This was something
he never expected.
On the
other side, Ivan was happy to see his crush in complete awe. He was absolutely
sure he impressed and charmed his pretty maid. Of course, Ivan rapidly assumed
that he was obviously Yao’s favourite; Francis could return home.
“Y-You are
so foolish aru!”Yao turned around, avoiding looking at the Russian. He still
truly didn’t know how to respond to that. Was it really a compliment or was Ivan
messing up with him? That idiot was only making him even more embarrassed on
his job!
“I’ll bring your order soon.”The waiter added,
wanting to go to the kitchen to think clearly about the situation.
“Wait Yao!
Can you call me by my special name?”Ivan quickly asked again, before Yao could
escape.
“N-now?!”Seriously,
today Ivan was truly surprising him.
“It will
make my day! Please~”The blond begged, sweetly.
The Chinese
wanted to say no, but he couldn’t. Not with the how kindly Ivan asked him that.
Plus, if it’s something that would make the other stop being upset, he didn’t
see why he wouldn’t agree.
“I-it
should be ready soon, master.”
This made
Ivan beam a very big smile.
Yao was pretty relieved to see that the
Russian was calm now. Maybe talking with him was the solution, after all.
“Master?”Francis
repeated curiously what the Asian said, once again surprising the two other.
Yao turned around
to see the French with a big smirk. Was Francis eavesdropping on them all this
time?! Well it wasn’t like they made their discussion privately; Francis was at the table right next to them.
“Well,
well~ I can see that you two seem to be a lot close. So now you two have your
own pet names?”Francis chuckled, thinking that it was really intriguing.
“W-what?!
NO!”The Chinese denied.
“Da! It’s
Yao-Yao’s special name to satisfy me.”Ivan announced with a dreamy tone,
completely contradicting what Yao just said.
“What?!!”Yao
screamed. Why Ivan said that? Now, Francis will have even more insane ideas.
“Hon hon, special
name? Ivan sure has a special treatment. He must be your favourite customer,
Yao!”Francis pointed with a playful tone.
The Russian
chuckled. For someone he had disliked for the last couple of minutes, Francis
was saying some stuff he liked to hear.
“NO!”Yao declared,
frustrated with this kind of accusations from everyone.
“DA!”Ivan
also said at the same time, once again contradicting what Yao said. This made
Yao give a quick glare at the other. Why was Ivan so persistent at labelling
them as a couple?
“Ivan, can you come with me for some seconds,
aru?”The Chinese finally asked.
“What? But
with pleasure my beauti—“
Ivan didn’t
even have the chance to finish his sentence because Yao harshly pulled him by
his scarf in direction to the kitchen.
Surprised
with this strange action (and how Yao was pretty strong), Ivan wondered why was
Yao in such a worry of bringing him to the kitchen. Although, it didn’t take
much long for the Russian to imagine a reason…maybe Yao also secretly wanted to
be finally alone with him? And since they couldn’t get rid of Francis, he
decided to take them to a private place? Ivan hoped that this was the fantastic
reason.
Once in the
kitchen, the Asian made sure to close the door, which only gave more hope to
Ivan’s thoughts.
“You wanted
to talk to me all alone Yao-Yao?”Ivan inquired with a chime, eager to see what
Yao was expecting them to do.
“Yes, what
is the matter with you?” The Chinese exclaimed angrily, which made the blond
confused. That wasn’t what he hoped for…
“What?”
“Why are
you telling all those strange stuff to Francis? This will only make him assume stupid
and embarrassing theories aru! Is there something bothering you? Why are you
acting so strange?”
Ivan was
shocked to hear such an accusation coming from Yao.
“You are
the one acting strange! Why are you encouraging Francis’ flirting da?”Ivan
demanded, still irritated about this subject.
“What?! I
am not encouraging Francis to flirt with me aru!”Yao snapped, unhappy with
these stupid accusations.
“Yes you
are! You are blushing cutely at his remarks and you won’t stop him of taking
pictures of you!”
“That
doesn’t mean I am encouraging him to flirt with me!”Yao replied in rage. The
last thing he would do was to encourage Francis to flirt with him! He truly wanted
for the damn French to stop with this and to punch his face every time he would
take pictures of him. Unfortunately he couldn’t, because of his job! He hated this;
however he also really disliked Ivan’s accusations. Francis did the same thing
yesterday and the Russian didn’t do a single thing about it! Why was today so
different?
“Maybe not!
But it still gives him ideas.”Ivan pointed while sulking.
“W-why do
you care aru? This does not concern you! In fact, it’s none of your business
who is flirting with me or not.”Yao stated frustrated with this discussion. He
couldn’t understand why Ivan was so upset and anger with something that was
totally not concerning him.
For the
second time of the day, Ivan was truly hurt; he thought that Yao didn’t care
about him. In the
end, today had turned out to be a horrible day, he hated it.
The Chinese
quickly glanced at the other, he didn’t like seeing Ivan sulking like this, but
he simply couldn’t accept his reactions.
“Also, stop
saying such weird stuff about us!” Yao quietly muttered before heading to the
door.
“Wait Yao!”
Ivan tried
to stop the waiter before he would leave, but he was too quick on his actions that
he accidentally tripped over something that was on the ground. Instead of
gripping on Yao, he gripped over a silver tray that had tea and fell on the
ground with the tea spilled on him.
“HAAA!!!!”
Yao was
actually the only one who screamed. He didn’t understand what exactly happened;
nevertheless he knew that the poor Russian must be in pain with being burnt.
“I-Ivan! A-are
you okay?”Yao asked deeply worried, completely forgetting the frustration he
had some seconds ago.
“It burns…”Ivan
said with a weak smile.
“Aiyaa,
come with me!”
