America and heights

Anon wants to see a fic where America is on a date that involves heights: a huge ferris wheel, an observation deck, etc. Problem is, though, he's afraid of heights. Al's date needs to 1) comment on the fact that he's a pilot that's scared of heights and 2) help him get over his fear by being naughty.
This anon's OTP is boring US/UK, but I'm up for any pairing.
The Height of Love

A!A apologizes if no one sees this, buuuuut… I really want to do this one. Actually had it on my mind for quite some time, and I figure I may as well make someone’s day. That is, if they still check the fills list… ah, well. If the OP sees this or not, I’m fairly sure someone will

Two and a half weeks later found America in the London Airport, suit-case in hand and an obvious case victim of Jet-Lag. England spotted America before he could spot him and rushed over to him.
“Am-Alfred!” England called, stumbling over the human versus nation names a moment before he corrected him. He quieted once America was within a decent talking distance. “How was your flight, love?”
“Fan-frickin’-tastic,” America muttered, rubbing at his eyes, but quickly put away any complaints and broke into a grin. “But I really don’t wanna talk about it now that I’m, y’know, here with you.” He kissed the other’s cheek, smiling all the while. “I missed you a ton. I think your side of the mattress misses you, too.”
England broke into his customary ‘not-in-public’ blush, but couldn’t quite suppress his smile all the way. “Git… Honestly, didn’t I teach you better than to say things like that around others?” And even as he said it, he took America’s hand and started to lead him back around to where his car was waiting, America gladly

America was startled awake by the sudden halt to the engine, and was numbly aware that fingers were threading through his hair that definitely hadn’t been there at the start of the trip. He groggily looked up at the other nation, breaking into a smile at having caught England in such an act, as he almost always denied doing such ‘Hollywood-esque attempts at romance’ (as if it was a bad thing or something

“Y’know, in the wrong context, that could sound really bad.” America laughed lightly, but stood up nonetheless, apparently noticing that not only was he not under the covers, but he wasn’t in anything even resembling pajamas. “And… I wouldn’t want you to get sick of me on the first day

This looks excellent, A!a. I really like your characterization for both England and America. It's nice to see somebody get into America's insecurities for once, especially without going overboard. t's even better to see an England that's a little tsundere without seeming like, well, an anime character. This relationship feels really realistic. <3 I'm really looking forward to the rest of this. :D
Also, why the heck are you tempting me with fic like this after 3AM? I bet I'm not even making sense I'm so tired. >_>

I saw this, A!A. :) I've gotta agree with the anon above me about England. It's nice to see England being his tsundere self while still actually showing (reserved) affection.
Oh, and just because it's funny, that one paragraph where England is listing all the times America was too insecure? That reminded me of Canada's canon rant about all of America's faults, only this time it was more constructive instead of destructive. Still, I guess we know where Canada learned that from. LOL
Hope your OP shows up, because this looks like it's going to be really interesting. (Silly England, trusting a book over his own knowledge of his partner of years. He's just trying to make things perfect, but this will be ... a learning experience for him, won't it?)

America, having slept in the car, was naturally the first to wake in the morning. However, being America, he was still quite sleepy after waking up and therefore spent the better part of an hour selfishly enjoying the feel of England’s arms around him.
However, after a while, America felt the other’s arms start slowly retreating, and he made a rather clumsy attempt at holding onto them.
Unfortunately, it woke England, and America internally groaned, since England was hardly one to stay in bed after he woke-evident, as moments after, there was movement behind America, and the superpower was slightly disappointed to know that the movement was movement away from him. America rolled over so that he could catch a glimpse of England’s face

A few minutes later, both were dressed and mostly ready. There was no debate about whether or not they’d cook breakfast themselves-as the kitchen was declared off limits to both whenever they visited eachother-however, there was a rather short argument about where they would be eating.
“I think we should-”
“We aren’t eating our anniversary breakfast at a McDonalds,” England cut in, before America could even finish his statement.
It was quite clear the way America pouted that it really was going to be his suggestion. “Well, fine. Where do you want to eat

Ohh..They're so cute, but it makes you feel bad because you know its going to go wrong.
America's talk about what he thought would be romantic reminds me of an article I read on what British thought was romantic..and that's pretty much it. Snuggling on the couch, getting someone else some tea when they don't have any and its cold, etc. Very homebody stuff. Americans were generally the ones who had stricter standards on What Is Romantic. Yes, it involves certain media images of roses, dinner, suits, etc.

Mm. Yeah, I feel sorta guilty for putting them through this. ;.;
Yup! That's sorta why I did it: Not to be out of character but to sorta represent how they've rubbed off on eachother. Don't worry, though, America will try be full-on-Romantic later on. He's just cranky 'cause he has Jet Lag. Sort of. ;)

To keep the story from crowding too much to one side, I'll be posting them as direct replies to this one from now on; the fill is most of the way written already. Enjoy

After a quick lunch and America’s promised ice cream (England refraining from purchasing any for himself, as he really couldn’t stand it most days), the two headed through the city, stopping where they wanted and never straying for too long from the main streets (save for a few heated kisses in an abandoned alley-way
