A Destined Fate: Russia X Reader

Chapter 9: A Throbbing Wallet~

    The next few days in the house were average and uneventful. I soon realized that the trio were more of house keepers rather then suppose of tenants. Constantly I thought back to my family at home hoping they weren't too worried for me, though I would find it pretty nerve racking to know you daughter was halfway across the world. The tragic thing is that they didn't know. Sadly I had not ever had a care to try to memorize their number and I lost my phone to 'Vlad' which had their number, so communication was impossible. I need to go home.

       "Privet little one." The statement called drawing me away from my thoughts. "Oh hey Ivan what's up?" He beamed giggling "I believe the sky last time I checked." The man took a seat beside me on the sofa I sat back on "You take things too literal"  Simply the man nodded then gazed at me. "Did you wear that outfit the day before?" I flushed abit embarrassed by the observation. "Yeah, I only have another set of clothes with me when I came here." "Oh? Well," Ivan rose to his feet "how about we go get you some new ones?" "R-Really" gazing up at the man thunderstruck. He nodded "Of course, I have been meaning to show you around town square anyway." He held his hand out offering me assistance, I took it. Pacing his way to the stairs he hollered "Lithuania, Me and _____ are heading out. We will be back soon. Be sure to tend to the house" The brunette poked his head out of the hall shaking it in approval "Okay, you two be safe."

      Fortunately town square wasn't too far, the giant man dwelled extremely close to his capital. My vision fluttered around to gaze at Russia's unique architecture. The cathedrals sung of colors, not a single building matched another's color scheme. All over they loomed, it truly was beautiful. Ivan flicked a glance at me smile growing more brighter. "You like?" "Who wouldn't?! This is amazing!" I exclaimed staring above in awe. With that he grabbed my hand tugging me into a shop. "Come we are here" I blush alittle ignoring it.

       A lump was forced down my throat. My hand trembled as I held the tag of a cute (F/C) shirt that hung on a rack. Shifting over to the a pair of black knee high converse it read an even higher price. Then I paced my way to another rack filing through a few more shirts that looked lovely, then to pants finally stopping at a pair of trendy ripped skinny jeans. My eyes became pupiless husks from seeing all those digits from the tags. What is this!?!?! Who has this kinda money!?!

    Ivan placed a hand on my shoulder from behind where he towered "Something wrong? Do you not like the clothes here? We can go to a different shop if you want." I shook my head with low-sprits "No... It isn't that... They are just so expensive... I don't have that kinda money." He rose an eyebrow "And when did you get the idea that you would be paying for these." "W-Wait you mean your gonna get them for me?" Holding both hands out shaking them frantic to shoo the idea from his head. "No, no you don't need to do that for me, you already have me staying at your place." The Russian chuckled grabbing the jeans off the rack along with the previous clothing I ranted over. "These are the one you wanted right?" I gesture a shake of approval still in shocked, which made him smile as he carried them of to the register. Russia paid for them coming back to hand me the bags. "Shall we stop somewhere for dinner?"

      I managed to persuade the Russian into eating at McDonalds unwilling to allow him to spend a ton more money on me. We sat in a corner near the window , sunset was here and would only stay for a while longer. Looking up from his meal he threw a glance "I thought you did not like burgers." I sighed sinking back into my chair "I said they were alright however, they're excellent when you want something cheap to eat." I pouted "See you don't need to spend so much money on a decent meal." "Is spending too much an issue?" I gave him a blank stare as a response. He laughed holding his head on his hand "I see your point, though I only wanted to show you fine Russian cuisine" I flashed a look of sympathy "I know but you  shouldn't spend so much. I did say your Pirozhki topped hamburgers, That's like my country's national food dish." Ivan brightened up instantly "That makes me happy to hear that."  I smiled at him. He seems like a nice guy, I don't know why those three were always terrified of him. "Thanks for the food and clothes by the way, I really do appreciate it. I still don't know how to make it up to you" "Oh do not worry you are very welcome though, perhaps it's time we go?" Pointing out the window revealing the now slowly emerging night sky he continued. I nodded getting up as I waited for him to accompany.

     "So ______ please tell me about yourself" He said readjusting his pink scarf "Well I was born in America, I'm 17 in 11th grade... At least I will be this year. I have a younger annoying brother. My favorite color is (F/c). I also love anime, drawing and making crafts. And, hehe I'm awesome of course" smirking at the last sentence. "What about you?" He tilted his head up to the light black night sighing heavily. "Ah, That is definitely a difficult question for Mother Russia to answer. To start I have two sisters making me the middle child. I was bullied at a young age, every one seems to find me scary... And I have no friends...." The man muttered the last part  frowning. Then he threw a glance at me. "Well I did until you came around." looking down at me with an eye closed smile cheeks pink.  "If I makes you feel better... I don't think you're scary Ivan." The gigantic man stared at me round-eyed "Really?" I shrugged "Why would I, you seem like a nice guy. I mean you're letting me stay with you, you bought me clothes and dinner. It doesn't get much nicer then that. Perhaps the people who are scared of you just don't know you well enough." He nodded with a small smile "Da." Then the conversation grew silent.

      Russia hesitated to speak up, his voice low but hopeful. "Hey _____ if it is not too much do you want to hang out like this tomorrow to? I have some errands to do so you could accompany me... Only if you want to that is." spating out the last part quick. "Sure, it sounds like fun." "Thank you." Ivan replied softly
