On The London Eye

The rain had stopped by the time Arthur and Alfred emerged from Charing Cross station.

"Hurry up, Arthur," Alfred urged as he tugged the smaller blonde behind him.

"Alright, alright!" Arthur replied slightly exasperated.

"Alfred, what's this all about? You've been dragging me around London all day." Arthur wondered.

"Just trust me" Alfred replied.

He winked, an unmistakable gleam in his sapphire eyes. Then he dashed across the street. Arthur sighed to himself and followed. He was far to used to this at any rate.

"We're here!" Alfred announced.

Arthur glanced around. He was quite surprised to find himself staring at what appeared to be a giant ferris wheel.

"The London Eye?" he asked

"Yep!" Alfred responded, and rushed off to the counter to buy tickets. He soon returned, and once more Arthur found himself being pulled along. They stepped into one of the giant glass pods that served as the cars of the ferris wheel. The wheel began to turn and the pod rose higher and higher. The entire time Alfred was snapping pictures.

"Isn't this view awesome?" Alfred chimed

Arthur had to agree. London, his capital, lay before his feet. It was night as the lights blazed. He could see small boats as they puttered along between the various bridges that spanned the Thames River. Parliament was all lit up tonight and he noted a couple of the more prominent cathedrals.

"Yes, it's beautiful," Arthur whispered

He was pulled out of his revelry as Big Ben began to chime.

"Arthur," Alfred began.

The sudden seriousness in Alfred's tone was enough to make Arthur completely forget about the view.

"Can we have a seat? There's something I want to say," Alfred began

Now the older nation was entirely unsettled, but took a seat anyways.

"If you're with me, I know we can take on the world. So since we're at the top of London, and since I'm in love with you…will you marry me?"

There was a moment of stunned silence, another as Arthur looked at the kneeling American holding out a golden ring with a sparkling diamond in it. He nodded.

"Yes," he answered

"Wooohooo," Alfred cheered as he stood, grabbed Arthur and spun him around.

"Put me down you git," Arthur demanded

Alfred obliged but continued to grin from ear to ear. Arthur sighed and nuzzled against him. Alfred simply held him in a gentle embrace and kissed his forehead. Their pod finally reached ground level again and the two nations stepped off. Of course that didn't stop either of them from feeling as if they were on cloud nine.

The End

I got the urge to do a sightseeing fic and then it turned into this. I apologize for the slightly out of characterness. I have a soft spot for America; so, I thought it would be nice to see him actually give a decent proposal for once. ^_^ Thanks for reading and comments are appreciated.
