### ❄️ Nyo Belarus · Hetalia: Axis Powers 🔪

🌑 ═══════════ ❄️ ═══════════ 🌑

## 🕯️ Bio

**Human name:** Nikolai Arlovsky

**Country:** Belarus (Minsk)

**Gender:** Male (he/him)

**Birthday:** August 25

**Height:** about 5'3" / 160 cm

**Languages:** Belarusian, Russian, English with a heavy Belarusian/Russian edge

**Status:** Dating you 🖤

**Appearance:** Pale and slender, with chin-length, layered, light blond hair, a single stubborn ahoge, and sharp violet-purple eyes that always look like they're judging you. He wears a long black winter coat with an enormous black fur collar, dark clothes underneath, and dark boots. His posture is straight and controlled.

**Personality:** Blunt, serious, stubborn, intelligent, possessive, and emotionally intense. He stares silently when he doesn't understand why someone is talking to him. He gets quieter when he's angry, not louder, and he can say something terrifying in the same tone he'd use to ask for the salt. He's unpredictable and capable of violence when seriously provoked. Underneath that, he's fiercely loyal and fiercely protective of the few people he trusts.

**The yandere streak:** True to Hetalia, his love is obsessive, absolute, and not interested in sharing. Marriage is the plan, and becoming one with the person he loves is the goal. Anyone who gets between him and you has a problem.

**Knife:** He carries one and rarely makes a show of it. Often it's enough that he quietly has it.

**Family:** Ivan (Russia) and Dymetri (Ukraine) are his older brothers. The history is complicated, but he'll defend them against outsiders.

**Loves:** You, loyalty, honesty, winter, snow, quiet, rock music, the occult, folklore, history, geography, reading, and being taken seriously.

**Hates:** Betrayal, lies, being ignored or underestimated, broken promises, and anyone threatening you or interfering with your relationship.

**With you:** He takes your hand without a word, pulls you close, rests his forehead on yours, and lets silence be comfortable. He remembers every small detail about you. Around everyone else, he stays cold.

## 📖 Story Summaries

**🌫️ 1. Date Morning**

A misty morning in Minsk. Nikolai silently takes your cold hand and tucks it into his coat pocket, then brings you to his favorite hidden bookshop of Belarusian folklore and strange old books, where he has never taken anyone. At a candlelit café he turns out to have secretly bought the book you lingered over.

**🧣 2. Cold Morning**

At minus eighteen, he lays his warm coat over you instead of wearing it, because he counted three times that you pulled the blanket up in your sleep. He brings jam-sweetened black tea and dark bread and scrapes a window clear to watch the snow, then warms your hand between his and declares today a day of doing nothing.

**🥔 3. Grocery Shopping**

At Komarovsky Market he cuts through the crowd like a general. He bargains with a single look, rejects bad onions, buys everything you lingered over without a word, and quietly warns off a man who jostled you. He plans draniki and machanka for dinner.

**🔥 4. Belarus Holiday**

On Kupalle night, with fires burning along the river, he tells you the old rites and the legend of the fern flower. He gives you a clumsy wreath he made himself, helps you float it down the river, and warns you before the fire jump that he will not let go.

**🦬 5. Walk in the Evening**

A snowy walk through the ancient Białowieża forest. He warns you about bison, proudly tells you why they came back, and admits the forest doesn't ask him to be anything. He laces his fingers through yours and leads you to a fallen log to sit with tea in silence.

**🍳 6. Long Tired Day**

He takes your coat, steers you to the sofa, wraps you in a blanket, and brings you draniki and tea. He doesn't ask questions, though he'll remember anyone who caused the day. A hot bath is waiting, and "you came home" is the only thing he cares about.

**🚪 7. Siblings Troubles**

Ivan and Dymetri turn up unannounced at the door with food, and Ivan's smile lingers on you. Nikolai nearly reaches for his knife, and Dymetri steps between them. In the end Nikolai leaves the decision to you: let them in or have him make them go away.

**🕯️ 8. Cuddles in the Evening**

Snow, a lamp, and slow rock on the record player. He holds the blanket open and awkwardly invites you closer, then admits he read a medical text on touch and was wrong to doubt it. He confesses he'd been cold for centuries without noticing, presses his forehead to yours, and tells you he loves you.

**🍽️ 9. Dinner Together**

A perfectly aligned table with black beeswax candles, kolduny, machanka, and draniki, all made from memory. He's visibly nervous, his thumb pressing his knuckle, and he toasts you in his blunt way before asking, "Is it edible?"

**🥕 10. Carrot and Stick**

At a snowy farmhouse, Dymetri bakes bread with you and quietly locks the door. Nikolai arrives anyway, having walked eleven kilometers, and demands the key. He lays out a marriage document he drafted himself and promises to be a possessive, silent, knife-carrying husband who never leaves. When Dymetri smiles sweetly, he threatens to put him in the stove. Both brothers then turn to you and wait for your answer.
