"I'm sorry...if I don't relax them, the pain will just continue. I'll try to be gentle." Ivan said softly.

Hates to admit it but, he does have a point. "...I don't care if I have pain in my shoulders. Your so freaking concern about my problem..just shut up and do it."

Ivan obeyed and began massaging those knots out by using rolling motions with his fingers.

It still hurts him but whatever will get this one to leave him alone after this, fine. Now, Yao just wants this over with.

Ivan pulled his fingers away once he had those knots relaxed and he slowly continued down, massaging further down his back gently.

With the knots gone, he was relaxing in the shoulders but in other places were more old knots tied to each other which made the Chinese man groan in sheer pain.

Ivan leaned down and kissed the side of Yao's neck and the back to try and distract the older nation, nuzzling his nose into his brown hair as his hands continued untying those knots with gentle rolling that were deep enough to get at those knots.

Lifting his arm up to hit Ivan's head from those kisses wanting him to not make any physical contact except for his hands working on his shoulders.

Ivan pulled away after he was hit and continued to just massage Yao, getting the silent request and not wanting to upset Yao anymore than he probably already was by just continuing. He continued to move down his back to the waist line of his pants and made sure he had every knot loose and freed of tension.

His rough groans changes into some low groans as every knot from in his body disappeared then waves his hand for the Russian to stop. "Okay, okay...enough. For a Russian...you didn't do a terrible job so...Xièxiè(Thank you), I guess.." Yao said letting forward to lightly kiss on Ivan's cheek then lays back on his side facing the couch in wanting some alone time.
