Forgiveness
England was not good with forgiveness.
When France would hang up on him (right in the middle of a sentence), England was much more likely to try and curse him than forgive him. Not that England never did the same, but it never bothered France as much as it did England. At least, France never let it show that it affected him.
When France would pass him on the street (without giving him a second glance), England was much more likely to ignore him in retaliation than forgive him. They did not ignore each other often. They could not. No, that was a ridiculous concept. Ignore the neighbor who often had his hands on his wallet (hands under his clothes, hand in his hand)? Not very tactful and England was definitely a master in the ways of tact.
When France would lock him out of his house (in the rain), England was much more likely to find a window where he had a clean shot of the blond's head than forgive him. England would lock France out of his own house in any weather, but France always found a way in. England wondered often how he could change his locks and France would always find a key that would get him in. England tried the same thing, but often ended up breaking a window instead.
England was not good with forgiveness.
And when England had tried all of these ways to talk to France and beg for forgiveness, well, England felt less and less like forgiving France for dragging it out this long.
Then again, he was not there to forgive, he was there to be forgiven.
"France, I'm sorry. God, I'm so sorry... Please, let me in..."
It really did not seem to matter which end of the spectrum he was on, because either way...
England was not good with forgiveness.
