I have no clue if the OP is going to like this. But I wrote it anyway. This might become a series too.
------------ England couldn’t believe it. Two hundred years of pining for this man and here he was, confessing his love with that sheepish grin on his face, hands buried in pockets. He had been longing for him for centuries, wishing beyond all hope to be loved back, for America to come flying back to him. And here he was, finally. What he had thought impossible had finally become possible. He wasn’t about to let his opportunity go

So England did what he said and looked. America’s face was pressed into lines, lines that made him look old and worried, forehead wrinkled, that distress that England would have sworn was fake. The thing that really did him in though were his eyes. England had known America long enough to read him by the eyes, especially when he was upset. There was love, it was still there, covered by a tiny bit of hope and mostly resignation and despair.
England’s anger evaporated, the frown sliding off his face to leave just dull, blank shock. “Oh. Oh my god. You’re telling the truth. You’re actually…asexual.” America nodded tersely. “Oh. Oh.” His knees decided they were going to give way, and he stumbled, but America caught him easily, scooping him up.
“Okay, Arthur. No fainting from the shock, no knees giving way. C’mon. Time to find you a park bench.” England clung to his jacket, looking at this man and wondering, exactly…how? How in the world had America, of all people, of all Nations

“Don’t want you anymore? Alfred, I’m in love with you. Of course I want you.” He flung his arms around America, pulling him close. “Stupid git. I wouldn’t want you any other way, either.”
“Do you even know what you’re saying? You’re giving up sex for me, Arthur. It won’t work out.”
“Oh, bollocks. Of course it will work out, if you want to make it work. Do you?”
“Yeah, I do, a lot. Just… you wouldn’t mind that?” England rolled his eyes and whacked America on the forehead lightly with his palm.
“I told you already. I love you. Really do. Have for years. I’m not going to lose you now over something so…trivial.” That was the strange thing. It did seem trivial to him at that moment. “ I haven’t had sex in years, why start now?”
“Arthur.” His tone was stern, and he folded his arms. England mirrored him. “You can’t mean that.”
“Yes, I do.” The thought of somebody wanting and needing him for him, not just because they depended on him or because they wanted his body made his heart beat faster in his chest. It made him feel special. That

This asexual!anon really appreciates the number of requests for asexual-themed fills in Part 10, but I definitely think that this fill is the first I've read to really *get* what it means for a person to be asexual. I loved it, and if you write more I will be ecstatic. :)
[I'm also happy to offer up asexuality info - personal experiences, etc. - if asked... but I don't think that Writer-anon needs any help on getting the details right, since s/he's already doing terrific!]
Wow! This was great, authornon, and truly, exactly what I wanted. As the other anon before me stated, you really do seem to get asexuality, and express it so well.
The warmth as Arthur came to realize and understand just what Alfred was telling him, and when he accepted it as a part of him, was just great, and so pleasing to read. It is so satisfying, and almost cozy (as odd as that may sound) and I just want to wrap myself up in the start of their relationship.
I wish I had more to say, but I'm at a loss for words on how to explain what this has made me feel other than "warm" and "fuzzy" and "content" and so I shall leave you with that and perhaps a few "You're so awesome"s.
And, of course, a huge, huge thank you. <3
I'd love to see more of this, if you choose to continue. Protective!France sounds really, really cool to me~

Wow! This is so amazing and wonderful!
It's so touching I'm *squeeing* right now, I really felt the emotions poor Alfred was going through! OUCH! I'm so happy that Arthur was understanding willing to legitimately accept Alfred the way he is, it just made their love stronger. Yay for happy endings (I was beginning to despair when it came to USxUK but then this gem comes along and sweeps me off my feet :D and now has restored them to OTP status.)
I hate the bicycle America fics, cuz I just can't see him being promiscuous or having an overtly sexual personality! This request and fill was awesome, cuz otherwise all I had was the brotherly USxUK fics as opposed to them being lovers)OK, I'm shutting up now.
Thank you for writing such a heart-warming story! I was tackling one of the other asexual requests, but I can't ever hope to match your skill! Your story makes me smile so much! Please continue, even though this stands very well on its own, I am very interested in protective! France :D

This Asexual!Anon loves it as well. So many put too much emphasis on sex these days and claim that you can't have a relationship without it (too many times have I heard that if there was no sex then they wouldn't be together then turn around and have the nerve to say it's love).

This is perfect! I'm asexual and I get a similar reaction everytime I say I am except for most people don't believe it can actually exist and always say things like "How can you not feel that?" or "But that's not possible!" It's nice to see someone actually realizes that it's a real sexuality and you can still have a relationship with someone! ^.^

But still, writer!anon is really happy that you liked it, and am now wanting to continue it more.
But also, thank you for the offer. It really makes me happy...
And writer!anon is flailing and gushing. So she'll stop talking now.
captcha: some stencils ...What does that have to do with asexuality, captcha?!
