Christmas. A wonderful time of year, that seems to bring out the best in everyone. Even Romano was happily cuddling up to Spain on this one special day. The whole world, whether they celebrated or not, seemed to be happier. Even a certain English nation felt a little merrier than normal.

This one special day is also a time of surprises and miracles.

-at America's house-

America sat quietly on his couch. He and Tony had already ravaged their gifts and cleaned up their mess before the alien went to visit some family. The young nation didn't even know he had any family, honestly, and it was making him a little sad. 'I don't have anyone to spend Christmas with...', he thought solemnly, '...but I can at least enjoy my special drink...'

Heading for his kitchen, America got to work on preparing a certain special beverage that he always decided to drink around this time of year.

A few minutes later, and he was setting on the couch again, a cup of English tea in his hands. His tea cup even had the Union Jack on it.

Taking a sip, he could feel a warmth rise in him, just like it did every time he thought of England. He wasn't surprised by these feelings though. They had been with him for a VERY long time. The young nation couldn't help but smile as a memory of when England had been smiling at him secretly came into his mind. He always loved how the Brit would just look away and deny that he was staring at all.

The American was roused from his thoughts as a knock came from the door. "Coming!", he shouted before getting up and setting his tea on the small coffee table in front of him. 'Who would come here today? I didn't order a pizza or anything...', he wondered before opening the door, only to be surprised.

England was outside his door, shivering in the cold snow, with a wrapped up present in his arms.

America could only stare at his former mentor, who gave him an odd look of embarrassment mixed with aggravation "Well?", he asked in annoyance, "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

This seemed to snap the younger nation out of whatever trance he was in. He laughed loudly and waved the Brit inside, "Of course, dude! So what are you here for anyways?" America was genuinely curious, especially since he and England weren't exactly best friends or anything. It was more like he was in love with his former guardian who only saw him as a pest. Or, at least, that's what he thought.

England blushed darkly and stuttered a bit, "I-I a-ah...well...I j-just wanted to..." Then he paused and took in a deep breath, like he was smelling the air. His eyes widened in realization that the smell he was picking up could only be...

Then America froze. 'Shit...', he thought frantically as England moved over to his couch and stared at the Union Jack cup in partial shock. He looked up at the American with confusion and something else...America couldn't quite place. 'Is that...hope?', he wondered absently before he realized that he had a British gentleman clinging to his shirt.

"Ame-...", England paused and shook his head, "A-ALfred?" He looked up into America's eyes, his own brimming with tears. Hearing his human name, America couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah, ...Arthur?", the young nation said, happily letting the name he had wanted to speak for so long roll off his tongue. He didn't even have to wait for a reply before he felt warm lips pressed against his own.

'Holy mother of f- Arthur is kissing me!', he thought in a surprised panic. America didn't think for long though, as he was preoccupied with exploring England's mouth. All too soon, they parted, and with a deeply contented sigh, the older nation leaned his head on America's chest. "I couldn't possibly tell you how long I have waited to do that.", he said as he snuggled closer, "I just never imagined you would...return my feelings."

America ran his fingers through his love's hair and whispered, "I always have. That's kinda the reason I drink tea every Christmas." Then he paused and embraced England tightly. "Coffee is still better though...", he teased while giving the older nation a wink.

The English nation huffed, "It is not, and you know it.", then he smiled warmly and held out his present. America took the prettily wrapped box and stared at it before ripping up the paper excitedly. England face palmed, "Ugh, you are such a child sometimes..."

Finally getting the box unwrapped and opened up, America stood frozen, staring at what was inside. It was a new wallet that had half of his flag and half of England's flag on it, with a heart between them. He continued to stare at his present, a smile slowly spreading across his lips.

England, however, was panicking. 'Oh bloody hell, he probably thinks it's strange or too girly or God knows what else. He hasn't even said anything!', the Englishman thought frantically before he realized that America was pulling him closer. Their lips met once again, though this time more passionately than the last. He wrapped his arms around America's neck and returned the kiss just as happily as he was receiving it.

Once they finally separated, America whispered, "Thank you, Arthur...but I don't have a present for you." His blue eyes stared into the emeralds that were his new lover's eyes with a sad puppy pout. England laughed lightly and kissed America's cheek. "I don't need a present, love.", he whispered back, slowly inching closer to America's lips again, "I have everything I ever wanted right here. You, me, and a cup of English tea."

Then he closed the gap between them and captured his love's lips for the third, but certainly not the last, time that night.
