...Right?-RuPru-AU...?

   Ivan smiled and hugged Toris to his chest, petting his hair gently. Gilbert narrowed his eyes away as they softened in sadness. He couldn't stand to watch that scene and display of pure adoration Ivan bestowed upon the Lithuanian. Why couldn't the Russian understand that Toris wasn't faithful? Why couldn't the Russian understand how much more willing Gilbert himself would be to receive such affections? Gilbert sighed as that thought hit him. Ivan would never accept such affections from Gilbert, and it was obvious. Gilbert shrugged Eduard off as he attempted cheering the pouting albino. Gilbert would be fine, he just wanted to be alone right now. Gilbert stood up and left the room, heading towards his room. His eyes were not watering, they couldn't be. He didn't care about Ivan enough to cry over him. He just didn't.
   ...Right?

   Eduard knew how Gilbert felt, Eduard sighed as he remember Berwald holding a more than willing Tino's hand, as they walked around and kissed. It was odd how Tino could fear the older male and yet still love him. Eduard watched his older brother with disapproval, he knew what Toris was pulling. And it wasn't right, it was cruel. It was selfish. if Toris loved someone else he should just leave Ivan. Eduard growled some as they kissed, couldn't they see how they were hurting Gilbert?! His brother couldn't possibly know and only be in this relationship to hurt the albino.
   ...Right?

   Ivan smiled down at Toris. Oh how he loved the smaller male. But..for some reason there was an empty feeling in his chest. He loved Toris so much, so why did he feel sad whenever he saw Gilbert sitting with Eduard? He couldn't love Gilbert, he loved Toris!
   ...Right?

   Toris blushed, he kissed Ivan at his own will. A few more weeks and he can break up with the Russian. That was it, he sighed softly when Ivan walked away. Smiling to himself. "I know what you're doing." Eduard said suddenly, tone sounding cold.
   Toris blinked. "What am I doing, then?"
   "You don't love Ivan, you love Feliks.
   "True."
   Eduard glared slightly before standing. "And you're hurting Gilbert." With that, the taller man left the room. Toris shook his head, he wasn't hurting Gilbert.
   ...Right?



   That night Toris met with Feliks and kissed him gently. "I, like, totally missed you, Liet." Toris smiled and kissed the blonde again. "I missed you, too..." Someone cleared their throat. Both men looked over to see Ivan standing the doorway, looking heartbroken. "I-Ivan, I-uhm-err...." All of his stammering and attempts at excuses were brushed off, it seemed, as Ivan smiled coldly and walked off, murmuring two words that secretly relieved him...

   Ivan saw Gilbert leaning against Eduard in the hallway, looking exhausted as his ruby colored eyes began closing. Ivan's heart felt as though daggers had been stabbing it repeatedly upon seeing this. He loved Gilbert, he loved Gilbert, he loved Gilbert, Gilbert loved Eduard. He frowned and walked past them, not noticing as Gilbert's eyes snapped open and watched him leave worriedly. Gilbert could never love him...
   ...Right? Ivan didn't notice Gilbert pull away from Eduard and follow him until the albino spoke. "Oi, what's wrong?" Despite the fact it was informal and seemed rather impolite, Ivan caught the gist of worry and hysteria in the albino's voice. Ivan felt the corners of his mouth tug up a bit as he turned around. "What do you mean, Gilbert?"
   "Ever since you passed Eduard and I in the hall," Ivan winced, maybe he did love Eduard... Ivan sighed silently as he got lost in his thoughts. No, Gilbert didn't love him, Gilbert loved Eduard. It was obvious. Hell, Ivan might as well accept Natalya's offer of 'becoming one' now, considering how horrible this seemed... "...I don't know, you just..seemed depressed." Gilbert's last sentence reached through Ivan's thoughts and made him focus again. "I...Toris is cheating on me with Feliks." Gilbert seemed a bit shocked by this. "Really now?" Gilbert's eyes narrowed away as he walked towards the taller man. "Is that so?" Gilbert seemed to be purring, as if he knew that the couple had broken up. Ivan nodded in confirmation. "We're no longer together." Gilbert smirked lightly. "I see... I didn't think he was right for you anyways..." Gilbert turned to leave, but was grabbed by the Russian, causing him to yelp in surprise. "H-Hey--"
   "What about you and Eduard--"
   "Haha, very funny. Eduard and I aren't a couple." Gilbert gave the Russian a small glare, but Ivan noticed affection in that glare. "Besides, I like somebody else, so even if I was with him, it wouldn't work out." Ivan's eyes widened.
   "Who is it you like, da?" So I can skin them alive if they're not me. He mentally added the last part.
   Gilbert blushed lightly, pulling away from the Russian and turning to face him completely, standing on his toes to kiss the Russian gently on the lips, whispering in his ear; "Who do you think, idiot? It's always been you..."
   Ivan pinned Gilbert against the wall and began some less than innocent actions towards his neck. Just then Raivis walked in. The small boy's shaking intensified as he squeaked, stammered an apology and ran off.
   Gilbert blinked, letting the haze in his mind clear up, before looking at Ivan and stating plainly, "Whatever the Hell have you done to that kid, messed him up badly." Ivan merely grinned in response.
