Fifty-Two: TV Browsing

America flicked through the channels aimlessly, turning it over before England could even see what the programme was. Finally, giving a howl of irritation, England grabbed the control off America and, without looking at the channel, set the remote down, gave America a cold look and turned his attention to the screen.

England froze.

'The brotherly relationship between England and America changed irreversibly when an older America declared to England that he was no longer his little brother and wanted to be independent. England, unwilling to let this happen, managed to overpower America but ultimately found himself unable to shoot his former colony. When England collapsed into tears at America's feet, America looked down and remembered when he looked up to England as a child; he comments that England used to be so great.'

England, shaking, hastily grabbed the remote and turned the TV off. Silence reigned over America's living room before he decided to speak.

"England-"

England put his hand up to stop him and silence once again came over the large room. The Briton stood up and managed to speak. Damn it to hell. And I was actually enjoying spending time with America...for once.

"I'm just going to g-go..." England hadn't even taken two steps before America grabbed his hand and pulled him back, whirling him round to face his ex-colony. They stared at each before England managed to say what he for so long desperately wanted to know.

"Why?"

America said nothing but leaned forward and just barely put his lips onto England's. England's eyes widened and when America pulled back, England gingerly put his fingers against his lips and looked to America in confusion. America chuckled.

"And they call me stupid?" He nervously ran a hand through his hair and shrugged, "That's why."

England's jaw dropped and America just nodded.

"When you love someone, you go to any lengths possible to get them. It only took you 200 odd years to realise."

England suddenly threw himself at America and kissed him feverishly. He pulled back only for a moment to mutter,

"And it only took you 200 odd years to realise that I love you back."
