The Garden

~Hetalia UsUk/America x England~
Alfred looked over in the passenger seat wearily. England had decided to come over to America and "see the sights" as he called it. The two countries had departed from Georgia's largest airport and hopped into the car to travel all around the states.
They had a very busy week, traveling and seeing as much as they could. America pushed Texas back up onto his nose. He was excited now, because he would finally be heading to his home with his best friend, and hopefully soon-to-be-fiancé.
'One more place to stop' he repeated in his head, 'This has to be perfect.'
**England POV**
I looked up out of my window, vision foggy from just waking up. I shook my stiff limbs to wake them up and looked over at my lover. He looked at me with sparkling blue eyes that had some mischief hidden in their depths.
"Good Iggy, you're up!" He cried as he ran around to my car door, which he opened for me. He then held out his hand to guide me. 'When did he ever regain his manners? I thought they were gone forever!'
He led me into a bright clearing... I was breathless. The garden he had just led me into was absolutely gorgeous. Butterflies and birds flew to and fro, and beautiful flowers grew everywhere.
"Oh my gosh! Where are we? Where is this? This is so gorgeous and..." I couldn't say anymore before his lips were on mine.
"I remembered how much you loved gardening and decided that if I had to tell you something life changing it would be in one. I know you're going to ask me two things, one, am I going to tell you something life changing, the answer is yes. Two, yes Iggy you may frolic in the garden now, as long as you meet me at the center of it soon. It has a gazeebo and a swing set, along with a few other things. Go, you know you want to!"
Without another word, but a small hug, I ran into the garden, stunned by it's beauty. Half an hour later I came upon a house in the garden, with ivy climbing up it's glistening walls. I looked in surprise to see my Alfred come walking out with a tea set on a tray. 'Hmmm... Alfred hates tea, what's going on here?' He smiled and motioned me over underneath the gazebo. The tea set and a lovely lunch was set out on a wire and marble table, and the chairs were a similar style.
**America POV**
Iggy had finished is meal and we began to chat. I then surprised him by standing up and coming up beind him in his seat. He stood up slightly confused, and then I surprised him even more. I picked him up newly wed style and kissed him. I walked to the porch swing and set him down delicately on it, I then began my proposal:
" Iggy, you remember how I told you I would tell you something life changing? Well here's that something," I sighed and smiled, " Arthur Kirkland, you know how much I love you, right? " He nodded and blushed, "Well I wanted to make it last forever , so I want to ask you ..." I dropped to one knee in front of him and pulled a box from my jacket pocket, "Arthur, will you marry me? "
**England POV**
I believe this is the part where I lost my whole sense of decency. I was speechless. The ring was just as gorgeous as the garden! I kissed him, it's the only way I could express what was going on in my head
" Yes, absolutely, yes love! I love you!"
