Evolution

Chapter 3

Every minute, a sound of rustling could be heard in the sleeping chamber, though it wasn’t caused by the couple’s constant kisses. Yao was constantly moving trying to find a comfortable position, but he still wasn't able to fall asleep despite his efforts. No matter what he did, some choice thoughts wouldn't stop bothering him.

“You can't sleep as well?” Ivan asked rhetorically as he moved to his side, facing his partner.

“Me? How did you know?” China joked bitterly.

“Maybe we should try to get tired?”

Russia scooted closer to his lover and started tracing his cheek with his finger, doing the same with the other nation’s neck, shoulders and belly.

“Take off your clothes,” he said, but it didn't sound like an order; more like a request.

He didn't have to ask twice. Yao sat down and got rid of his unwanted garments. The moonlight illuminated his delicate features, dark strands of hair falling freely on his shoulder. He knew Ivan loved his long locks of hair unbound, so he tilted his head with a tempting smile. Russia started caressing his thighs and knees, but when he realised he couldn't reach higher, he got up and started ravishing his partner’s lips like a hungry animal. His hands didn't stay unoccupied; first he brushed against Yao's chest with his fingertips, paying special attention to hardened nipples, then he massaged China’s body with his whole hands.
China didn't like the fact that his lover was still fully dressed, so he grabbed the top part of his pyjamas and helped him to take it off. He wished he could see Russia's features better in the dark. However, he could still feel Russia’s delicious shape under his fingertips. Yao squeezed his muscular shoulders, then touched his chest, brushing the nipples lightly. Ivan moaned, feeling a strong shiver running through his body.

“They've become very sensitive recently.” He explained.

“I know.” Yao replied with a smile and licked one of the nubs, causing his partner to feel a weird sensation he hadn't known before he got pregnant.

He traced Russia's body with his lips, kissing the rounded belly, and lowered his partner's trousers. Ivan pushed him on the bed, stripping him of the rest of his clothes. Ivan was usually dominant in sex, although he didn't mind role reversal from time to time, and his pregnancy was a proof of it. Sometimes, he asked Yao how he would like to do it and he submitted to his wishes, but now he wanted to be fully in control. He grabbed the bottle of oil, which always stood near the bed, and lubricated his member. Hearing his lover's quickened breath he knew China couldn't wait to feel him inside him. Without wasting more time, he eased a pillow under his partner’s bottom to make it more comfortable, leaning on his forearm, and positioned his penis just outside the opening.

“Ah!” Yao moaned when Ivan penetrated him, but soon forgot about the pain and focused on the rapidly mounting pleasure.

Soon they forgot about their worries. At moments like these, they were just glad there was hardly anybody in the palace so they didn’t have to keep their voices down. China was so loud, that if anyone stood beside the door, they might think somebody was murdering him. Russia also didn't stay silent and moaned every time he felt the sudden wave of pleasure, and when he climaxed he roared almost like a bear. Combined with Yao's more feminine voice it turned out to be a peculiar symphony.

“No wonder Lithuania chose a room far away from ours,” Ivan laughed, laying exhausted near his lover.

Soon they both fell asleep.

In Russia's palace, nobody talked about the World Summit and England's threats - it had almost become a taboo. However, when the day of the meeting came, the tension was already so visible that everyone realised avoiding the topic didn't make sense.

“This coat fits you so well,” commented Toris while brushing off the dirt from Ivan's clothes. Russia wanted to look smart, even if times were hard. “It hides everything perfectly. Nobody will notice anything.”

“I'm afraid it doesn't matter,” Ivan replied calmly, watching himself in the mirror. “If I don't confess, England will force me to have a medical check up.”

“But... you have an idea, master... right? You'll come up with something?” Lithuania said with little confidence, almost loosing his hope.

“Honestly? I'm going to improvise,” Ivan replied. He seemed as if he had already accepted his failure.

Because Toris still looked terrified with the prospect of the World Summit, Russia put a hand on his shoulder and looked him straight in the eyes.

“Calm down, I should be the one nervous, not you,” he explained.

Suddenly they heard Yao's voice. “I'm ready.”

China wore a traditional oriental outfit made of red satin. Ivan loved seeing him in such clothes. Yao looked like an exotic beauty; no wonder Russia stared at him for a moment.

“You're beautiful.” Ivan approached his lover and stroked his face gently. “But you'll look even better if you unbind them.” He took of his ribbon, letting the hair fall on his shoulders.

Although they knew each other well, and were very close, Yao still blushed.

“You know I don't like having them like that, everybody mistakes me for a woman,” China frowned.

“Please, leave them unbound, at least for the journey,” Russia played with black strands.

“Fine, but only for you.”

For a moment Ivan forgot about all the problems. He raised his arm slightly, so China could hook his through. They left the palace proudly, nearly like a royal couple, but apart from Toris, there was nobody to watch them.

---

“Don't reveal that you're nervous,” Russia instructed his comrades when they got to the building.

He was still holding Yao's hand, trying to indicate their relations. He liked to show how close they were; after all China was a very handsome man, and Ivan felt proud to be his lover.

“Oh, here you are! Tell me, what did you do this time?” Russia heard Poland's unfriendly voice.

“Please, don't tease him. Master is tired after the journey.” As usual Lithuania tried to stop the upcoming argument.

“I wasn't talking to you.” Feliks wouldn't even think about stopping. He looked at Ivan suspiciously. “England paid me a visit last month and he asked about you a lot. What's going on?”

Russia couldn't hide that Poland's words surprised him.

“What exactly did he, like, ask about?”

“He asked if I've notice anything strange in your behaviour recently, like mood swings or sickness. It was really weird. What does he want?”

“I don't know, but I assure you there's nothing that might interfere with our business.”

Ivan walked away from Feliks, keeping in mind that he probably hadn't satisfied him with his answer, and entered the conference room. He wished the meeting started soon, because he wanted it to be over already. He had an idea of what to do, but it wasn't a guarantee of success. He counted on luck.

During the Summit, Ivan stayed silent for the majority of the time - he didn't even know what the others were talking about because his thoughts were focused on something else. England was watching him, he could feel it, but he didn't care anymore. Fortunately, the others were too occupied to notice his unusual behaviour.
Arthur also didn't talk much during the meeting, but he decided to speak at the end of it.

“Are you going to tell us, Russia, or should I do it?” He asked slightly sarcastically.

His question was so out of context that nobody understood what he meant, so everyone looked at him with confusion, apart from Yao and Toris who were absolutely shocked. Ivan, on the contrary, put back a pen he was playing with during the meeting and glared at England, indicating that he won't give up easily.

“Was my public humiliation your aim from the very beginning?” he asked.

“I'm only doing what I have to.”

Ludwig was the first who suggested that he would like to know what's going on.

“I think we deserve an explanation,” he announced, a bit irritated.

“That's true, we all need explanation.” Arthur's sight pierced into Ivan. “There wouldn't be any humiliation if you'd been honest with me from the start.”

“And I think that amuses you. You knew from the beginning that I violated the agreement, but you still preferred to torment me.” Ivan ignored the uproar caused by his statement. Now his aim was to appear as a victim, not a culprit. “You enjoy it so much? Talking about my private life is such fun to you? Fine, here you are: I'm six months pregnant, happy now? That's what you wanted to hear?”

“Six months?” Arthur said with surprise. “Are you telling me that you've been hiding it for so long?!”

Now England realised that if he hadn't spied on them, Russia would probably give birth in secret or even raise the child without anyone knowing.

“I think it's a good time for a break. We need to calm down before we start the discussion,” announced America, seeing the chaos caused by Ivan's confession.

“You're right, the break is necessary,” Arthur agreed.

“Wait, let me finish!” Russia was so determined that he stood up. “I know I violated the agreement, but it wasn't my intention. I didn't know China and I could create a new country.”


“My beloved...” said Ivan, kissing his partner's hands. “Please, make love to me, I want to have a new country.”

“It's too soon, we can't.”

“We can do everything.” Russia placed a finger on his partner's lips. “I don't want to wait, let's do it tonight. I will submit to you entirely.”


“It was an incident, I didn't plan it.” Ivan continued. “What I supposed to do? I wouldn't get rid of my child, would I?”


“Don't stop...” Russia let out a silent whimper when Yao started moving faster.

His thrusts were strong and forceful, but tender as well. Most importantly they both enjoyed it, and never felt so close before. Although they had done it many times, Ivan had never looked at his partner with so much love during sex.

“I can't hold it any more...” said China, feeling the climax coming.

“Stay in me as long as you can.” Russia embraced his lover with his legs, and brought the other closer to him.


“That's all I wanted to say. I believe China and I are innocent.” Ivan finished, and let others go for a break.

---

As Russia expected, the other nations wouldn't let him avoid justice and the Committee was called in order to come out with the righteous solution. Everybody being in close relation with Ivan was questioned. He also didn't avoid it; he was asked about very private issues, which only intensified his anger. Outwardly he didn't show it, but inside he was furious.
After gathering information, the NUNC remained in the meeting room to come to a decision, which was quite difficult.

“You don't believe him, do you?” As usual England was very sceptical towards Russia.

“We have no proof he's lying,” Japan said calmly.

“But you know him. He's never been reliable.” England wouldn't give up. “If he really considers himself innocent, why didn't he confess at the beginning?”

“That's a good point.” America was obviously on his friend's side. “We have to do something.”

“I assume it's too late to... you know... get rid of it?” said France without thinking.

“That's disgusting, you shouldn't even mention it.” Spain being a Catholic country was utterly shocked. “I know the terms of agreement were violated, but we're talking about somebody's life. We need to sort it out in a civilized way.”

“Anyway, I doubt Ivan didn't know he can conceive a child.” England continued. “I read about those new mutations and I know it's pretty painful when the body undergoes such changes. He had to at least suspect something.

“Let everyone say what kind of solution you suggest,” spoke Germany.

After the Counsel and voting, Russia and China were asked to enter the meeting room. Everything went smoothly, without any forewords or formalities. Ludwig had been chosen as a speaker so he stood up in order to present committee's decision.

“I'll try to get straight to the point. We listened to your declarations and took into account every aspect that justifies your actions. However, the law has been broken and we cannot ignore it. We decided that after the child is born, England will become its legal guardian, since he has experience in raising a new country. Moreover, before the birth, you will be under strict control and you won't be allowed to leave the palace without permission. If you won't cause any problems, you will get a right to regular meetings with your child. Do you have any questions?”

Of course they didn't, the shock was too big. They couldn't say a word. Luckily Ivan was almost in a trance, because if he saw England's smirk he would loose control, and somebody would definitely suffer.

“That's all. The case is closed.” Germany ended the meeting.
