Chapter 12 - Mulan (Finale)

“Yao-“

“Well, actually it's your helmet, isn't it? I mean-“ He held it to your father, but you took it and stopped him.

“Would you like to stay for dinner?” You asked. Yao seemed surprised, but sighed in relief.

“Dinner would be great.” He said, gaining a warm smile.

“I’ll leave you two, so you can catch up.” Your dad chuckled, as he headed back towards the house.

“I didn’t get to thank you for saving me, two times.” You chuckled.

“No need to thank me, I wouldn’t let Roderich or Elizabeta hurt you.” Yao said, before stuttering. “Though I-I’m sure you could have handled it.”

“Yao, calm down. I can’t thank you enough for what you did. Is there anything I could do for you in return?” You asked. He went silent, before meeting your eyes with his soft brown ones.

“There is one thing… could you close your eyes?” He asked slowly. You were a bit confused, but did as he said. Seconds later something soft and warm met your lips. You didn’t have to open your eyes to know what it was as you wrapped your arms around his neck. Yao stiffened for a moment, before pushing back against you, pulling you to him.

“Hey, could you get off the book, ___?” You groaned, as you sat up, rubbing the sleep out of your eyes. Wait… sleep?! Your eyes snapped open to see the normal Jxk sitting in front of you. “Are you alright? You were out for a while.”

“Yeah… Why did you want me to get off the book?” You asked, as you saw your book was gone.

“Oh, well. I put the fairytale book away, but you fell asleep on an old war book and someone asked if he could have it.” Jxk shrugged, before going back to her book. So… everything had been a dream. Those months of training, the Hetalia characters, Yao… they were all just a dream. You felt some tears prick your eyes, because of the unfairness of the dream and stood up. “Where ya going?”

“I’m going to go find a book, I guess…” With that, you walked away. In reality, you just wanted to be somewhere alone for a bit. You just couldn’t digest that info. You finally looked in the isle you were walking in to see you were in the war section. How ironic.

You scanned the shelves, until a spine caught your eye. You pulled the book out and read the title. Chinese Wars. You were thinking about putting it back, but a voice stopped you.

“Oh, are you interested in Chinese history, too?” You froze, as you turned on your heel to face the person. Yao stood in front of you, holding a pile of books and looked as surprised as you did. “_-___?!”

“Yao! Wait, do you-“

“Yeah, I remember!” He dropped his books and embraced you tightly. “Aiyah… why did you freak me out like that?...”

“I should be asking the same question…” You pulled away and smiled at him. “So, would you really like to have dinner at my place?”

“Of course…” He smiled, before leaning forward.
