It had been a long tiring day for the large Russian man known as Ivan. He was finally back home in his cabin. But he would not get no rest as he'd been forced to babysit the noisy British brat Peter Kirkland.
As Ivan hung his coat and took his boots off he could hear the loud little chud giggling further in the cabin. Atleast Latvia was there to keep him entertained... Ivan huffed and grumbled as he padded up the stairs to go change to something more comfortable. The big guy could wear stupidly cute things when he was at home.
Ivan stared at his large scarred torso in the mirror for a bit. His brows furrowed as he looked at his tummy, which had gotten a bit more pudgy, Well it had always been like that. He changed to a pastel purple slightly over sized sweater with a polar bear on it and light grey sweat pants. He left his scarf on.
The floor boards were creaking with every step he took as he went down stairs, he was used to that. He groggily rubbed his eye's already feeling sleepy as he walked slowly into the living room..
And there sitting on the maroon rug were the two little fellows playing on a tablet. Giggling and yelling confusing things.. "Raivis look I've now got two strawberry elephants now! You can have one of them if you join me.." Peter grinned laying down on the rug holding the tablet in front of his face and nudging Latvia with his elbow.
"...uh huh.. Okay.." Raivis just mumbled and nodded looking almost as confused as Ivan who was now standing behind them.
"...ahh. Priviet boys...! You have eaten yet da?" Ivan crouched down and smiled tiredly, tilting his head.
Raivis had flinched when suddenly hearing Ivan's voice quickly turning his head to look at the large Russian yet his expression easing quickly. "Ah..uh yes!" Raivis smiled and nodded, then turned back to look at his own tablet.
"Oi mister Ivan!" Peter sat up and grinned. The little lad immediately clinging onto the large man. Peter had strangely grown attached to the big Russian after being babysat by him multiple times. Peter knew that despite being scary sometimes Ivan was a big softie. Or more like a big kid.
"Ufu..! You sure have energy little one..." Ivan chuckled shaking his head, earning a grin from Peter. Raivis had sat up trying to pry Peter off of Russia. "Hey stop that... Mister Ivan can be sensitive!" Raivis frowned.
"...no no I assure you it's fine little Latvia. I am used to this one's energy." Ivan huffed and sighed. He then looked at the tablet which was now left on the floor. "What were you boy's doing hm?" Ivan asked and smiled softly
"Playing games!" Peter said giggling and let go of Ivan rolling back onto the floor. Raivis smiled and nodded yet looked quite unsure. Peter had probably been playing those absolute slop games on roblox and confusing Raivis with them again.
"Ahh. Ok! I not understand whatever goes on in those screens..." Ivan muttered. The big guy then sprawled out on the floor and yawned. He looked like one of those bear skin rugs.
Peter went off to pull a box of toys to the rug they were all sitting and laying on. "Mister Ivan! Can you play with us?" Peter hopped up and down then popping back down on the rug. He spilled the toys out and started rummaging through them.
"..da!" Ivan grinned. His expression taking on a more childish one. The big guy could sometimes have such a scarily childish and sweet face sometimes while looking so intimidating.. But laying there on the floor playing with toys together with two little guys made him look like a big teddy bear.
After a little while Yao came home. The man who had married Ivan. He was about to go to the kitchen to maybe cook something or just reheat leftovers when he spotted the three in the living room. Yao chuckled lowly to himself as he looked at his large husband now sitting there hunched over playing with a toy with the two giggling boys. They looked so stupidly happy. Sheesh...he really is a big kid sometimes aru..? Yao thought to himself smiling gently.
