It's time for some possessive!England, guys!
America comes to stay at England's for a bit... but when it comes time for him to leave, England wants to keep him around for a bit longer - after all, who knows what he gets up to when England's not keeping an eye on him - and drugs him to make him sick, so he has no choice but to stay.
It works so well that he does it again. And again. And again, until he's just keeping him sick and taking care of him all the time. Because creeper!England is kind of hot. :D Whether or not America finds out (and how he reacts if he does) is up to you.
Bonus: Someone else finds out. What they do with this information is also up to you. :)

There's a blue tinge to America today, like the underside of a fish or a finger from which the blood supply has been cut off. His breath flutters like paper in the wind. It can't form words but England knows he's wanted, from the way the eyes flicker towards him, and he rests a hand on America's cheek

When Canada first sees his brother, he is shaken by a tremor of guilt at his earlier fondness for America's illness. He's faded from blue to grey and doesn't seem to know where he is, nor who is holding him or where he's put; having never known him as anything but boisterous, Canada finds this distressing. With France's help he heaves America into his own bed and tries to work out a way to treat his sickness, only to discover that there is none; he must watch, and wait, and hope

Locked down into the mattress and paralysed, a corpse which drowns in air unable to breathe and dreams of being dead. England moves arms he knows he has and gets no response. Like a phantom reflex, like a war, feeling a long gone limb which is now only so much bone and flesh in the ground, but before the pain sweeps over to remind a body of its loss - because all he feels is the cold. It's very cold here. Very cold

This is absolutely amazing. I'm so very glad I found it. I love America's line at the end. It's full of vindictiveness and the implication that England's will be much worse than what America himself experienced. It's very like America in my mind.
Thank you so much for writing this. And so quickly! Your style is lovely and so is the way the story progresses. If you've written anything else I would love to read it.

Oh, I hadn't realized you'd finished this! And, uh, wow, what an ending. :'D Very ominous indeed, with England's last though of Socrates before blacking out and then this: The vision overhead fits in perfectly with his death-dreams of grinning rows of teeth, but he knows it's America, a smile slashed across his face.
And damn, that exchange between Canada and America:
“Yes,” he says. His hand tightens around the water, leaving prints in the condensation. “Of course I'm suspicious. But it's - it's him. It's England. What am I supposed to do? If I can't prove it I'm not going to suspect him. I don't want to.”
“And if you could prove it?”
No answer to that one.
My god, so creepy. D:
(I did love this, though! It was nice to see something so different in tone and plot! <3)

This looks very promising. I like the paralellism between the first sentence and the last. I liked the way your described the dream and the way England fell asleep without outright telling us. I'll be around ;)
