(fanfic) APH- Lovely maid Yao- Chapter 15

Chapter 15

Without losing a second, Yao brought Ivan to the employee lounge. If the waiter remembered correctly, this was where they kept the first-aid kit.

“Sit here aru.”Yao gestured the other to sit on a small couch and gave him a towel. 

The towel that Yao offered Ivan was unfortunately dry, but, for the moment, it was the only thing he could offer to help him. For now, it was way better than nothing. At least, Ivan could use it to dry his hair and clothes. 

On the other hand, the Russian took the towel with a small grimace on his face. The burning sensation was causing so much pain to Ivan, but the fact that his clothes were also wet was bothering him to no end. No matter what, the blond had to conclude that it had been a pretty bad day for him; he never thought he would suffer like this.

“Where are you hurt aru? Did you get cut?”The Chinese rapidly asked with a worried tone. From what he saw, the cup of tea fell on Ivan and shattered. Therefore, Yao couldn’t ignore the possibility that Ivan might have been cut during the accident. 

“N-no, it just really burns…especially on my shoulders… ”The blond answered. Yao was a little relieved to hear this; at least he could forget the option of Ivan being cut. 

However, the Asian still wondered how in the world the recent accident happened…

Who would be careless enough to leave a plate of hot tea right on the edge of a counter? It didn’t take a long time for Yao’s brain to come to the conclusion that it was probably none other than Mathias. In fact, now that he thought about it, it was definitely not the first time he warned the Dane to be careful with that. 

But did Mathias listen to him? No! He never listened to him! And what happened? A client was hurt. And it could have been worse; Ivan could have been severely injured by the shattered glass. Yao couldn’t help but to be frustrated by the way Mathias could be so careless. That bastard will hear him complain about this later.

 “It hurts less now...but I can still feel the burning sensation.”Ivan suddenly explained in a childlike voice.

“Don’t worry about it!”Yao reassured, understanding Ivan’s suffering. The Russian did got on his nerves this afternoon, but Ivan certainly didn’t deserve that! Poor Ivan looked so miserable. He looked like a child who has been wounded; Yao only wanted to give him a hug.

“I’m going to get you a wet towel aru. It might help.” The Chinese added, realising that it might be a better solution. He still needed to find the first-aid kit, but he wasn’t exactly certain of where the emergency kit was…which, sadly, wasn’t helpful…

Yao hurriedly went to get a wet towel that was in the kitchen and offered it to Ivan. Of course, he knew that this wasn’t going to really help his injured customer and that he should search for the kit.

“Thank you…”Ivan simply said.

”I think the first-aid kit is somewhere around there aru!” Yao remarked, deciding to start the search by checking the drawers of a small cabinet that was at the other side of the room.

“You ‘think’?” The Russian repeated, unsure of the meaning of this. What was the point of having an emergency kit, if they didn’t know where it was during emergency situations?! 

“Aiyaa! Stop being anxious! I’m going to find it!” The Chinese replied. 

Ivan looked at Yao while waiting semi-patiently for something that will ease his pain. In some attempt to distract himself from the burning wound, he glanced around the room to realise how fancy it was, especially for an employee lounge. Even the small sofa he was sitting on was so comfortable. The employees were lucky to have such a fancy place… but if he thought about it, with the price they sell the beverages and the delicacies this place better be fancy. 

But in the end, as much as he tried to distract himself, he couldn’t forget about how much it hurt. He just wanted Yao to hurry up and give him something that will cure his suffering.

“Yao are you almost…“

Before the Russian finished his sentence, he glanced at the other to see a rather unexpected view. Yao was leaned down while searching in the last drawer, but from where Ivan was, he had the perfect view of Yao’s butt...and now, he wasn’t capable of taking his eyes off of it. Plus, the maid dress was so short that if Ivan tilted his head a little, he was capable to have a glimpse of Yao’s underwear…

 “Here it is!” Yao snapped, glad and relieved to have found the first-aid kit. In addition, he also found a box of tissues at the same time.

”There you go—Aiyaa!! Your nose is bleeding!!!”The waiter screamed when he saw the other having a nosebleed.

“D-da…I think I’ll use these tissues now…”Ivan said with a small smile, pointing the tissue box Yao recently found.

“What is wrong with you aru?!” The waiter quickly gave him the box, completely confused with Ivan’s sudden nosebleed.

“I-it still burns a little…” The blond commented, hoping it will change the subject. It was probably better if the Asian didn’t know the reason behind the nosebleed. Nonetheless, Ivan could confirm that his little Yao absolutely knew how to distract him from his pain.

“Aiyaa, you are such a weird person aru.”The Chinese sighed, slightly discouraged. He sat on the couch next to the Russian and began to clean the other’s nose.

Meanwhile, Ivan couldn’t believe how much he felt like he was in heaven despite the fact he was still suffering. Yao was so close to him, taking care of him and he even had the chance to have a small glance at Yao’s underwear.

“You should take off your shirt!”Yao suddenly said, snapping Ivan out of his thoughts.

“W-what?”Ivan asked, surprised to hear such words coming from his crush.

“It will help you more if you put the cold towel directly on where it burns. After that, you can put some cream.”The Asian explained.

Ivan didn’t wait to be asked a second time and did what the Asian told him too. “My scarf is also wet…”

“I’ll make sure your scarf and shirt dries before the end of the day…”Yao sighed, sitting closer to Ivan to look at the other’s burned shoulders. The Russian’s skin was a little red and, according to what Ivan told him, it was still painful. So it means that it was only a first degree burnt, which was the least severe one. At least, it really made Yao more reassured; now he was confident that Ivan’s injury wasn’t serious.

“Don’t worry! You only have a first degree burnt aru. I’m sure the lotion can take care of it…”Yao confirmed somehow enthusiastically, before noticing that his hands were rubbing Ivan’s shoulders…and this is when he realised that Ivan was somehow more muscular than he thought…

 “That’s good to know.”The blond expressed with a small relieved expression. He took the cold towel to put it on his shoulder, but then he noticed that Yao was still touching his shoulders and was looking at his chest seemingly in deep thoughts.

“Yao?”Ivan called; however, the waiter still seemed to be concentrated.

“Yao-Yao?” Ivan asked once again.

“H-ha what?”The Chinese replied, finally snapping out of his thoughts.

“Is everything okay?”

“Y-Yes, everything is okay…why are you asking?”Yao stuttered, rapidly taking his hands off of Ivan’s shoulders.

“You were staring at my chest for a while.”Ivan announced.

“W-what? No I wasn’t! You are imagining stuff aru!”The other denied.

“Could it be that Yao-Yao likes to look at my chest da?”Ivan chuckled, pleased with this thought. He used this opportunity to slowly come closer to the Chinese.

“Aiyaa! Stop saying stupidities and start to take care of yourself! Weren’t you hurt?!”Yao shouted, his cheeks being completely red. For someone who was injured, the Russian seemed to forget about his priorities. 

The blond simply let a small laugh; he definitely would never be tired of seeing Yao blushing cutely like this.

“It feels good.” Ivan chimed, finally placing the cold towel on his shoulders. Even if he could still feel the burning sensation, he had to admit that it really helped.

“Don’t forget to put the lotion after aru! It will be better.”The waiter added, offering him the cream.

“Can you put the lotion on me, Yao?”Ivan inquired while approaching toward the other closer. After all, he was still injured, so he decided that he should benefice of Yao’s tender and soft touch to cure him. Who knows when will be the next time he would have this opportunity? He better completely abuse of this chance right now before it was too late.

“Why would I? You are old enough to take care of yourself!”The Chinese pointed.

“Please?”The Russian begged with an expression that Yao couldn’t refuse.

“Fine…”The Chinese sighed. He was starting to hate how Ivan used this expression on him.”But don’t get used to this treatment!”The Chinese added with a strict tone once he saw Ivan’s sudden smile. 

The waiter came closer to Ivan and decided to only look at the Russian’s injury. Unfortunately, after a while, he couldn’t help but to slowly stare at Ivan’s bare chest again and he rapidly felt his cheeks being completely red again.

Why do I feel so strange aru? This isn’t normal! Yao panicked mentally. He glanced at the blond to see that this one was looking at him with a rather intense look. This simply worsened Yao’s condition.

Eventually, the Asian decided to try to calm himself and finally put the lotion on Ivan’s shoulders. After all, there wasn’t a thing to make a serious issue about; he was just helping a customer who was wounded. There was nothing wrong with that! So, the Chinese delicately rubbed the other’s shoulders with the cream.

“Haaa, it’s refreshing.”The Russian moaned. Usually he wasn’t fond of cold, but this was truly helping allay his pain. Plus, the feeling of Yao’s hands on his shoulders was something he truly liked. Yao’s hands were so soft…

“I-is your chest also painful aru?”Yao inquired, quickly glancing at the other’s bare chest.

“A little...”Ivan answered. Actually, his chest didn’t get burnt by the boiling tea, but if he was capable to keep Yao this close to him, he didn’t see why he would say the true.

Consequently, Yao also put some cream on the chest; rubbing and massaging it. Though, slowly Ivan could swear that it felt like Yao was playing with his chest. Not that he was complaining, his suffering went completely away. 

 “Hmmm~”The Russian moaned. He seriously wanted to stay with Yao like this forever. He slowly and smoothly brought his crush closer to him to the point that the Asian was completely on his lap.

Unfortunately, Yao stopped what he was doing as soon as he noticed their suspicious position. But, even if the smaller one didn’t seem of approving this, he didn’t completely push away from him. No matter what, the Asian was still on his lap. 

“I-I think, it should be enough.”Yao murmured. ”you can keep the lotion since you’ll need to put it frequently. And you should probably put a bandage on it later to prevent contamination aru.”He added still looking at the burning part.

“Thank you so much~ Yao-Yao sure knows how to take good care of me da?”Ivan exclaimed, beaming a smile and enlacing his arms around the other’s waist.  His little sunflower was a very good nurse.

“I-it’s not like I have the choice aru. I’m only doing my job and make sure that my customer is okay.” Yao replied, slowly pulling away from Ivan. Since he had always been the “older brother” of his family, he was simply used to take care of people; it was something that became a habit for him.

“I really appreciate that, Yao. Thank you.”Ivan added, pulling his closer until there wasn’t much space left between their bodies. The Russian hoped that they could stay in this position for a little longer, especially since Yao wasn’t protesting against it.

“…” 

On the other hand, the Chinese didn’t know what to say at the moment. He actually had some admiration for the fact that Ivan had always kept a smile, despite being in such pain. Yao began to stare into Ivan’s eyes and gradually replaced his hands on the other’s shoulders. 

No matter what, to Ivan, Yao always looked so adorable with his flustered cheeks and embarrassing expression. Encouraged by the small gestures given from the waiter, Ivan slowly approached his face closer to his crush…and much to his surprise, Yao did the same. 

Only one thought came to Ivan’s mind: Will they (finally) kiss? 

There was almost no distance between their faces… He could only feel his heart skipping beats, he was so eager to feel Yao’s lips.  

Sadly for Ivan, at the same moment some unexpected person with a very horrible timing decided to enter the employee lounge.

“Hey, Yao are you—”

“…”

With a mix of disastrous and shocked expression on their faces, both Ivan and Yao looked at the person who entered the room.

Damn it!! It was Mathias!

It didn’t take much time, for Yao to distance himself from the Russian. As a result, Ivan quickly gave a big murderous glare to the Dane who ruined what could have been one of the best moments of his life. 

And it seemed that Mathias was indeed speechless at the scene. Apparently, he wasn’t expecting to find his co-worker on the lap of a half naked customer…  

“Oookay!!!! Pretend like I didn’t come!”The Dane suddenly broke the extremely awkward silence that was in the room.

 “No, NO! I-it’s not what it looks like aru!!”Yao screamed, though he had to admit that Ivan and he were indeed in a rather…suggestive position.

“Don’t worry, I’m leaving! But Yao, seriously, don’t do this on the employee lounge and especially not in the middle of the day. The manager can come at any moment! If you two want to have a nice and sexy time, I suggest you to do it at the end of the day when everyone is gone.”The Dane advised with a sheepish smile, before going away.

“W-wait, w-we aren’t doing anything like this! “Yao desperately shouted, hoping that his co-worker would listen to him.

“It’s possible to stay after the café is closed da?”Ivan suddenly asked, finding this information interesting. Maybe if he would stay after the closing time with Yao, they could continue (peacefully!) what they were about to do before they were rudely interrupted?

“Aiyaaa!! Why are you asking this?!!” Yao snapped. 

“kolkolkolkol~ People here know how to ruin a nice moment da?” Ivan remarked with a bitter tone.

“W-what are talking about?! Nothing was happening between us aru” The Chinese denied, hiding his completely red face.

Nothing? Well if this was “nothing”, Ivan absolutely wanted to experience having “something” with Yao. He couldn’t help but to keep in mind the fact that Yao didn’t do anything against them being suggestively close when they were about to kiss.

His heart was racing of just thinking about this moment over and over again; remembering their position, and the sensation of Yao’s hands on him.

“I-I’ll have to go aru! Whatever you do, don’t get out of here without wearing your shirt. Am I clear?” The Asian warned the other, before leaving the place. He needed to completely clear his mind to continue with this day and he knew that staying in the same room as Ivan wasn’t going to help him.

He had this awful feeling that some inappropriate and dishonourable rumours concerning Ivan and he will be spread because of what Mathias saw. It seemed that in any case, his workplace will get more complicated every day.

“Okay.” Ivan agreed without thinking, still half dreaming about what could have happened if nobody would interrupt them.
