USUK where America is seriously in love with an England who is used to do things the European way and doesn’t take their relationship as anything above “just another political/shag friend”
Nocturne 1/1

Same anon as above, I just decided to go with my original idea. Hope it satisfies!
---
America was happy. He finally had everything he wanted, sealed by the consummation of his love for England, who lay panting beneath him. He took a deep breath and stroked the older nation’s cheek tenderly, while his eyes softened with affection. He’d loved England for so long, perhaps from the moment they met, but most certainly since he’d learned of the distinction between platonic and romantic love. Now, finally, his love had come to fruition

*squeelsh* -Ooops, what's that? Oh hell, I just stepped in the remains of Alfred's shattered heart lying there on the floor. Aww poor painfully virgin America. To be honest I don't despise England for this mean-assery, I mean at least he's being honest...but nonetheless...
Ouch. Owwww! Bad England! You're just going to stay for a nibble, reject America's sweet untouched love cakes, and then go trolling for the free samples on the corner? Just like that? Mhhmm-uhmm-uhmm...(I have to stop using bakery metaphores to get my point across.) -Seriously now, great writing Anon. I was writhing in discomfort and sadness for poor America (And I mean that in the best way possible!).

Nuuuu ;___;
And you tell America he can't read the atmosphere, England?
So cruel. So so cruel.
(huggles America)
Oh please, author!anon, won't you write us a happy ending? Or at least a side story where America manages to crush England's heart in the same way (what, I like it when meanies get a taste of their own medicine)?

Thank you, authoranon! This is exactly what OP wanted. The careless atittude with which England handles America's heart, his painful, brutal honesty but only after the act. Because, you know, I don't think this is a problem of not reading the atmosphere, but of "let's take advantage of this cute feeling of his now..." which makes him even more of a careless bastard. But he goes by the "all is fair in love and politics", right? I really liked this, and America's loving atittude, his sweetness and happiness at the beginning (you didn't write it on so many words, but the "finally, all I ever wanted") made his heartbreak all the more spectacular and painful. that sentece is really jinxed in this fandom, right?XD
If you want to do that requested "happy ending" I won't oppose ;) (but I'm not very into revenge!fic, the "America crushes England's heart" kind, because there are tons of fics like that already ^^U)
'from mistrust'. certainly, future partners of America will encounter huge amounts of it, yesXD

Glad it meets your approval, OP. I wrote this on a bit of a whim, so I plan to flesh it out a bit more in the event that I de-anon.
But yes, England is well aware of what he's doing here. It's a callous sort of "this is how the world works, so deal with it" reaction to America's sincere feelings.
I can't really write a happy ending to this, because England is not in love with America here, so the best would be a bittersweet ending where England would pretend to be happy with America out of guilt over breaking his heart. Revenge is definitely out of the question, because the fact remains that America is in love with England, and besides that they have to keep living in the same world together and maintaining political ties.
I do have an idea for an alternate take on this prompt that ends happily, so I might write that in lieu of continuing this particular piece.
I really hope you de-anon then, just to see more of this wonderful little piece ^^
Yes, that is exactly what I felt when I read it. And so glad you don't see the revenge angle either! The way you explained your reasons made me feel even worse for America (when he has to bear hearing the media and possibly his fellow nations talk about the Special Relationship, and still his heart is held by England even after all this...yeah, this is exactly what I wanted with this prompt, I am very glad you, who gets it completely, took it ;)
Do explore! I'm very intrigued ^^
'tan absolves'. nah, nothing absolves England from this, Captcha XD

Not OP, by the way, but just a thought.
