USUK, stargazing during the winter

I would like to see a pre-relationship fic in which America and England get all bundled up in their winter clothes, grab a thermos of hot chocolate, go out to America's back porch and look at the stars together. America ends up confessing his feelings for England and they end up kissing in the snow.
Bonus: England tries to point out the different constellations to America and tell him the mythology behind them but America can't see the shapes the stars are supposed to be making to save his life, declares "those old Greek dudes" who made them up to be idiots and makes up his own silly constellations.

I hope OP doesn't mind that it's AU!
The weather was getting colder and Alfred F. Jones could just see snow on the horizon. The blonde grinned, he loved the snow, ever since he was a child because it was so rare; you had to wait a whole year before you finally get to that time period where it does fall. It was also a time when schools might close and you get to shape things with the snow. He could still remember when he first tried to build a snowman, that was years ago, but he got upset halfway because his mom didn't want him to stay out for so long and forced him to go back inside. He had been surprised to see it completed by someone else that next day. Blue eyes twinkled in delight at the memory, that was when he first met--
Ding dong!The sound of the doorbell interrupted Alfred's thoughts as he turned away from the window that let him look out into the backyard and walked across the house to answer the door. A boy around his age was standing outside. Annoyed green eyes and furrowed thick eyebrows looked up at Alfred. "Took you

They both let out a sigh of relief as the words on the screen told them they won. They had played some other games at first, but now they were killing zombies with Alfred's X-Box system. "That was awesome~" Alfred said with a chuckle as he glanced at the clock. "Wow! It's 8 already! We spent the whole day playing video games

"...Uh, I was actually talking about English class..." Arthur mumbled. "Remember we had to read Odyssey? They mentioned Orion."
"They did? When?"
Arthur rolled his eyes. "Never mind, I went and looked up the actual story, but there was none, actually. Lost through history." Alfred looked as if he was losing interest as he drained half of the hot chocolate in his mug. "Listen, you git!" Arthur yelled at him before continuing, "He's the son of Poseiden--"
"Who's Poseiden?"
"Didn't you pay attention in Global class?! He was the Greek God of water!"
"Ooooh."
"Ahem, so one time he got drunk and attacked this guy's daughter."
"Got drunk?" Alfred let out a chuckle. "That's it, this guy just became Ivan in my mind

"Aaaah!!" Arthur screamed as the freezing snow melted against him. "You--! Get back here, don't run from me!" Arthur yelled as he stood up and chased Alfred around the yard. However, it wasn't long before Arthur was the one running away from Alfred

Stargazer!anon thinks it's a shame Alfred couldn't see more... Actually, the belt is far more easier to distinguished for the amateurs han Rigel (same for Betelgeuse and Bellatrix) because of the shape. :) Also, I'm happy because it's my favorite constellation ever (and the nebuleas? Oh, Anon! it's beautiful! there is a whole cradle of cosmic life there, with sprouting solars systems and stars... imagine! in some hundred of thousand years from now there will be new stars atound there?) and you could have chose the boring Cassiopee or Ursa Major (ugh...)
tl;dr: Stars are beautiful, this story was awfully cute <3 ^^ I loved Alfred's mom. she is one of the best kind :) and, lol at Alfred's lack of knowledge, I mean... He went to the MOON (well, not AU!Alfred but... anyway :p)
p.s: Did you know, anon, that when you reach far away enough from the city and the suburb there is so many stars that when it reflects on the snow, you could believe it's daylight? That's how much they shine. :)
Author!Anon thanks everyone for such nice comments!

@ Stargazer!anon: Alfred probably couldn't see a lot since he couldn't sit still enough and see them! xD Wow, I wish I knew more about this before I wrote it! I live in the city NYC, in fact and the chance for me to get out is probably less than one in a million, but what you just told me makes me want to beg my parents to drive me upstate for the first snowfall!
