Arms ~ China x Reader ~ REQUEST

You hastily approached your long time crush, Wang Yao, in an attempt to confess your feelings to him.

"Aiyaa!" Yao shouted when he saw Im Yong Soo pop up out of nowhere to scare him.

"You almost forgot to visit me! Let's go now!" Yong Soo said in his usual cheerful self as he grabbed the Chinese man's hand, dragging Yao with him.

"I forgot! I'm supposed to visit your house today! I'm so sorry!" the older one kept on apologizing while the South Korean tried to muffle his laughter.

"...It's okay! I'll forgive you since you're an old man!"

"Hmph! Don't be mean! You should respect the elderly!" Yao said jokingly and their joyful laughter started to fade as they walked away from you.

After Yong Soo suddenly showed up, you immediately lost courage to go near your crush right now. They haven't even noticed you walking towards Yao.

"Oh well, I'll just do it on another day..." you looked at where he stood a while ago with a slight frown. Sighing loudly, you walked back to your house to think of another plan.

"I'll just try again!"

Two days have passed and now you finally have a different plan, hopefully, it'll be better than the last one. You already see him not too far from you. He's sitting peacefully with a small panda on his lap, he looked happily at the furious mothers chasing their children as they run around the park.

"Hey, Yao!" you called out his name while waving your right hand at him and hiding your other hand behind your back, clutching the letter in your hand. This plan will definitely work since you thought about it for five hours straight.

"Huh?" he snapped out of hi daze when he heard your voice. He looked at you as you walked towards him. 'That angelic voice, those shining eyes, those soft, kissable lips... Wait- Why am I thinking about these stuff?!' he thought.

"I have something for you!" you showed him the letter you worked hard on to describe your feelings for him. He looked at the letter, and looked at you, and the letter again, it had a really big heart as a design. He glanced at you as he reached for the letter, but the panda on his lap ran away.

"Wait! Panda! Don't go!" he shouted as he stood up, about to run to get the panda. Hesitating for a bit, he looked at you with concern.

"I'm sorry, I'll just talk to you next time, 再见!" after that sentence, he quickly sprinted to catch the panda. While running he looked back at you and waves with a smile. Of course you waved back at him while faking a smile that he never noticed.

"So close, he almost had the letter..." you looked down, holding the piece of paper tightly and scowled as you felt tears building up in the corners of your eyes. You dashed to your house so that no one will see you cry.

"Maybe if I try again..."

"I'll keep on trying..."

"I won't give up this time..."

You went outside your house, expecting Yao to be outside. You called him a while ago asking him to go to your place, luckily, he immediately agreed since he had nothing else to do. This time, you'll confess to him without any disturbance.

"Yao!" you welcomed the visitor with a huge smile on your face while you opened the door, only to see someone else standing in front of you. You looked at him with a disappointed look on your face.

"(Name)! Here, take this!" Yong Soo grinned at you as he shoved you a handmade Hello Kitty plushie. You held on to the stuffed toy as you looked at him with a questioning look.

"Go give it to Yao and confess!" he swiftly ran away without another word. What just happened a while ago?

You hugged the plush as you walked to Yao's house since he hasn't shown up yet. Besides, his house isn't too far away from yours. So why not go there instead of waiting in your house?

On the way to his house, you accidentally bumped into someone. Looking up, you realized it was Yao. You immediately blushed, trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Oh, it's you! 你好! Am I late already?" Yao stepped back to give you space while eyeing the stuffed toy you held in your arms.

"N-No, you're not! J-Just take this! It's for you!" blushing furiously, you shyly gave him the stuffed toy. He gratefully accepted the gift with a thank you with a warm smile.

"You're a very cheerful person, you try to make me smile whenever I'm sad. You're always there for me, even if you have to sacrifice many things for me. I respect you because you're a very kind person. I just want to say I love you for who you really are. I hope you return my feelings, too. But if you don't love me the same way I do, it's alright for me. I'll just move on..."

You began to fidget nervously when he didn't respond. You might have made him hate you or something like that. You turned around to walk away but you felt a pair of arms with a stuffed toy wrapped around you.

"我爱你, (Name). I love you for who you really are, too," your face heated up again when you felt his hot breath hit your neck and his face nuzzle your neck as he spoke.

"I love you too, don't forget that," turning around, you slowly stepped forward to kiss him. He immediately complied, kissing back. Your first kiss with him, it's a very short and innocent kiss full of love.

"Of course I won't. I fell for you the first time I laid my eyes on you," he said, eyes still full of love even after kissing you. He hugged you tightly as he gently stroked your hair. You inhaled his scent while hugging back. His presence never failed to make you calm.

As long as you're safe in his arms, as long as he's near you, as long as he keeps on telling you how much he loves you, you'll be the happiest person on earth. You almost gave up, but if he's always by your side, you'll stay strong, no matter what.

"Love was invented in Korea! Da-ze!"
