England and America have been together for a while and England has been reluctant from the start to make it public knowledge. America is convinced that it's because England is ashamed of him and so he decides to just ask England in the form of a random 'what if' ways what England would change about him if he could. England thinks that America is joking or just fishing for compliments and so proceeds to give a big long list of things that he would change (though honestly he just makes half of the stuff up on the spot). America takes the list as England's word and begins to try and change the things on the list. At first England rather likes it but when it starts to get up towards bigger and bigger changes he's like WTF stop I want my America back. And then the truth comes out

America glanced meaningfully out of the corner of his eye at England for the umpteenth time that meeting and waggled his brows suggestively when the irritable nation turned to hiss “stop it” at him. Not deterred, America reached under the table and squeezed England’s thigh, only to have his hand slapped away for his trouble. He jutted out his lip in what he knew was an adorable pout, but England didn’t even bat an eye and merely grunted noncommittally. Thus, America decided to settle for holding England’s hand, but even that privilege was denied when England yanked his hand away and folded them mercilessly in his lap. America stared dejectedly down at his notes and ignored whatever Japan was saying about the supposed top issues

And so he showed up uninvited on England’s doorstep one day, England rolling his eyes and inviting him in anyway, with intentions of finding out what the other nation would prefer to be different about him

MORE!!!!!!!! I have to say, I raised an eyebrow at how cheesy the prompt was (sorry op D:) but... goodlord you're doing amazing, addictive things here!!!! In short, need more now.
LOL...that's okay I was going for the cheese value there are so many ultra serious USUK prompts/fics out there I wanted something shmoopy and ultra-Hollywoodish.
OMG...this came as such a complete and lovely surprise and it's so completely wonderfully written and a mulit-parter so added bonuses! Love that you mentioned Hollywood, love how much America wants to sing it from the mountain tops that England is his, love that England is so aggressive sexually (I hate it when he's written as all shy and blushy...meh) and just...yeah I loved it all!

“You’re too loud, you’re too pushy, you’re too egotistical, you never take anything seriously, your ideas are always ridiculous and completely implausible, you have atrocious tastes in food and music, you drink coffee instead of tea, you make fun of my cooking, you don’t appreciate my embroidery, you’ve made a complete mockery of the Queen’s English, you call me ’Iggy’ and you don’t let me top enough when we have sex,” England said without skipping a beat, and paused to catch his breath. America thought that wasn’t too bad and started to smile, but then England started right up again

“Very well,” England replied calmly and also stood up. America turned to leave when he was dragged back by his (Mickey Mouse) tie into a kiss. “But come back here when you’re done,” England said in a low voice and…there it was, that smirk again.
“Hell yes!” America exclaimed before he could stop himself and he scurried to the door in embarrassment.
“Go on then, you git,” England chuckled and sat down to finish up some of his needlework.
Once he was out of England’s house and a safe distance away, America pulled out a pad of paper and hurriedly jotted down the things England had listed as things that he would want to change about him, and he was damn well going to work on at least some of those things before he went back later.
He stared down at his wrinkled suit, silly tie and usual bomber jacket and thought his appearance would be a good place to start.

Suits were a pain in the ass he didn’t like to deal with. It was an annoyance dating back to his colonial days when England insisted on dressing him up in stuffy outfits so he’d be a presentable gentleman when all he wanted to do was work with his people. Dirty, but rewarding work that didn’t require getting dressed up in restricting clothing. The same was still true to that day, although as a full-fledged nation he had obligations he had to fulfill that required getting dressed up. Not that he ever put much effort into it, thus the half-assed look he was sporting that day.
But the hero had to look good when he achieved his happy ending and so began phase one of America’s “make England proud to be his lover” mission.
‘Your appearance screams that you just roll out of bed in the morning and put on whatever you see first’ and ‘You think Mickey Mouse ties are appropriate work attire’America knew he wouldn’t be able to pull off the right look on his own, and it was with a good deal of pride swallowing that he walked into the nearest

Lol Is it bad that I think high-fives are totally appropriate when resolving differences too? XD
