England had been glaring at him the entire meeting. Not the bedroom eyes he had that could raise America's flag in less than a minute, but the "America you fucking idiot just you wait until I get a hold of you" eyes.
America gulped as he took his seat after presenting. England's eyes had been on him the entire half hour presentation, and he had thought that it was physically impossible to go that long without blinking. Once again, England had proved him wrong and unnerved him at the same time. You'd think that after decades of dating he would have gotten used to it.
England seemed surprised that America choose to accept his fate and stay after the meeting and save England the trouble of tracking him down. Regaining his composure he slammed a familiar manila envelope on the table in front of him.
"America." England said, crossing his arms "Would you like to explain what this is?"
America picked through the manila envelope, looking unimpressed. "If I'm not mistaken, it appears to be paperwork." He said, enjoying the rage that flooded England's face..
"No, America" He said with labored patience "read the top page again."
Deciding to humor him, he pulled the top page out and gave it a shocked look "Form N-400-"
"U.S. Naturalization Application." England finished, slamming his hands on the table. America stood defensively.
"I wonder who could have sent this." He said dryly, pretending to look the page over "And why."
"I was hoping you could enlighten me." England said through clenched teeth, poking America's chest.
America chuckled and grabbed England's hands. "You're too cute, Eng-"
England ripped his hands away and placed them on his hips "Shut up, America." He growled "I have never been more insulted in my life." He grabbed the envelope, still on the table, and ripped it neatly down the middle. America saw his plan get ripped to shreds. "Of all the half wit schemes you've pulled off, this probably the worst thing you've ever concocted. What the hell where you thinking?" He yelled.
"England, shut the hell up." America screamed back. Embarrassment ran through his cheeks and he rubbed the bridge of his nose "It wasn't supposed to go like this."
"What go like what?"
"My damn proposal." America spat "You were supposed to fill out the damn form, because filling out paperwork is apparently your damn hobby, and we could have gotten hitched in New York, but no, you had to get all bitchy-"
"Well, next time make your damn proposal less damn confusing!" England yelled, turning on his heels "I'll see you back at the hotel room!"
"I'll be late, I'm going to pick up your ring!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
England slammed the conference room door shut behind him, and came face to face with literally all of Europe.
"Mon ami, what happened?" France asked as Germany tried to keep the curious crowd under control.
England cleared his throat and straightened his tie "I believe I just got engaged."
For those of you who dont know, Form N-400 is the form you send in to apply for a green card. I think that asking another nation to become of your citizens would be the ultimate insult, thus England's reaction.
Wrote this in like, five minutes. No real reason, I just miss writing America and England
