...rests his case.

be fine in a couple of hours... except for the hangover.

doesn't like it any more.

doesn't understand. He doesn't like what anymore?

doesn't like it any more, even knowing the fact that he'll be fine. ((M bad, didn't specify. >3< ))

it's just one of those things that he does. As if he wasn't worried when he came and found Yao high and off his head.

...hoped he wouldn't bring that up.

knew that, but did it anyway. It kind of annoys him that Yao is pissed at him for getting drunk, when he didn't judge Yao for getting high.

isn't pissed, just worried. It's just a bit for him to take in. He's already contemplating on going back to keep him company...

less annoyed then, but still kind of mad that he left. He hopes he does come back, he hates waking up alone.

ends up deciding he will, slipping through the doorway quietly.

leaning against the wall of his kitchen, completely passed out. There are bottles all around him, including one in his hand, and his face_

looks troubled.

sighs when he sees him... is this how he looked when he was under the influence of opium? He sighed, prying the bottle away from his fingers

and taking a seat next to him.

's frown deepens but he doesn't wake up. He's having nightmares about the past.

can only put a reassuring arm around him and comfort him until he wakes up.

instinctively snuggles closer, laying his head on his shoulder. He continues sleeping for a long time as the alcohol wears off. He inhales_

sharply and groans, barely opening his eyes. His head was pounding like mad, and his body was tired, but he was aware of somebody warm next_

to him.

kisses his cheek and sighs. "You're scaring me, aru..."

slowing turns to look at him, confused. "Yao?" he asked quietly, unsure if his lover was really there.

nods. "Go back to sleep. You need rest, aru."

clings to him tight. "You're really here, da? This isn't a dream?"

smiles. "I am. Now hush, aru."

the tiniest of smiles in return before snuggling up close to him and falling asleep again.

hums a little traditional lullaby softly, keeping him held close as he sleeps.

snoozes a few hours before slowly waking up again.

dozed off as well, his head leaning slightly on Ivan's.

can feel him there and slowly reaches over and gently grabs his hand. He's so glad it all wasn't a dream.

stirs a bit, muttering the Russian's name in his sleep.

carefully turns his head and kisses him on the cheek, whispering his thanks.

's eyes slowly blink open, trying to get am idea on where he is...

him a small smile. "Pryvet."

smiles back. "Nihao..."

buries his face in Yao's chest, suddenly extremely embarassed.

chuckles lightly. "What on earth are you doing, aru?"

mumbles something muffled and undecipherable against his chest.

shrugs it off and just pets his hair. =v=

nuzzles against him, liking that a lot right now.

continues, liking the nuzzling quite a bit himself. Speaks, after awhile. "I... have a proposal, aru."

looks up at him blearily. "Da?

sighs. "Neither of our... conditions is healthy for us, aru. Since we both relatively have the same problem, perhaps we can help each other_

try to overcome them? For both of our sakes, aru..."

smiles and nods at him. "Da. I would like that very much."

smiles back. "I'm glad you agree, aru..."

wraps his arms around Yao and pulls him close. He has so many things that he wants to say that none of them will come out.

can tell he's hesitating a bit, but keeps quiet and just settles in his hold.

scared and doesn't want to admit it. So he just clings tightly.

would wonder what he's scared for...

depended on vodka to numb his pain for hundreds of years, especially during the October Revolution and Cold War. He's been drinking less_

lately, but he still doesn't know how to cope with the pain or the past. And they both scare him.

admittedly been starting on opium again partially because of all of this stress between his family... he's a bit concerned as well. But

they have each other to support and encourage, they'll get through this.

agrees and hopes he's not causing too much family stress. He knows South Korea and Japan don't like him at all...

wasn't exactly thrilled when he found out that his brothers were dating one another at first either. They'll just have to learn to live with

it.

can understand that. He runs his hands lightly up and down China's back. He would show them why they were meant to be together.

cuddles against him, sighing lightly. He certainly hopes he can...

gently pulls him into his laps so he can hold him tighter. He definitely will.

rests his head on his chest. "I love you..."

buries his face in his hair. "I love you too..."

sighs and smiles lightly, simply enjoying the warmth of his hold.

a lot better now, even though his head still hurts. He cuddles the smaller man to his chest semi-contentedly.
