"America?"

"Yeah, Iggy?"

"May I talk to you after the meeting?"

"Of course!"

England waited as the meeting dragged by. Everybody stood up to leave but America and England, the latter not noticing the look the former shot in somebody's direction, a look that clearly said 'help me.' Finally they were the only two left.

"Alfred, remember when I was dying in World War Two?"

"Yeah, that was funny."

"Do you have any idea what I was going to say before Death stopped me?"

"No."

"I love you."

America laughed. "You're kidding, right?"

"America…"

"You aren't? Shit!"

"America?"

"Iggy, I… shit… I don't like you like that. You're like a brother to me."

"Do you like anybody?" England's voice wavered, the hurt barely disguised.

"Yeah."

"Who?"

"I can't say. He'll find out and he'll be pissed and I'll cry because it would ruin everything and it would be worse than it was before. There might even be another war and this time one of us will die and it would be me, and I don't want that!"

England walked out at that moment, having realized who it was. "Good luck with Russia," he said bitterly.
