“Hey America, I just got a box of freshly baked doughnuts but I can’t eat them all by myself so, do you want some? They are still warm”
“Sure, I’ll have them during break, they taste sweeter when cold”
“Oh, is that so?...”
~~~~~~~~~
“Why didn’t you answer any of my messages?”
“Uh… I turn my cell phone off during meetings now. If there’s an emergency someone will interrupt it and tell us, right? Everything else can be discussed later”
“I… guess”
~~~~~~~~~
“We don’t have to head back right now, there are still ten minutes left and you are half way through your story. I’m really curious to know what happened next”
“Aww, thanks England, I know is mean to leave my awesome story like this and I promise I will continue but we shouldn’t be late”
“…”
~~~~~~~~~
“Hamburger?”
“Yeah! Let’s go for some after the conference”
America shot down each and every one of his offerings without a second thought.
England just passed the last hour staring down into the murky colored tea that had gone cold on his hands and when the conference was officially over, several nations gathered around him, all knowing about the bet by now. None of them said anything though, not until France considered it was time to rub America’s victory on his face anyway.
“Why the long face, L'Angleterre? You just won two weeks free of your usual duties, you should look happier” France chuckled
“Yeah, from what America told about his plans it sounds like a vacation. The awesome me is gonna kick your ass when you play live by the way” Prussia added, smirking after offering false comfort.
England turned around, his eyes screamed murder but America’s voice stopped him short of throwing himself at them. As soon as the island turned around, America shoved his cell phone into his face, replaying the damn recording for everyone to hear. Various nations snickered.
“Just in case you forgot our terms, England”
“That was unnecessary, America. I recalled them clearly”
“Good! Well, I am ready”
“Ready for what?”
“Duh. You praising me and all that”
“I never agreed on doing so in front of the whole world, literally”
“Come on, don’t be a sore loser! I even had to turn down the warm donuts with an empty stomach this morning and the hamburger… the hamburger!!”
“And if you just had indulged yourself like you always do then I… agh!”
America was pouting now; looking like a kicked puppy and after some seconds England’s so called gentleman pride kicked in. It was only proper to give praise where it was due, wasn’t it?
“Alright…” England averted his gaze “I must admit I never thought you would be able to behave for so long and uh… well I think you showed everyone that miracles happen and hmm… since you are representing a nation I think this will inspire others to---”
“You really suck at this, don’t you?” America’s pout was nowhere to be seen now and instead he was trying not to laugh out loud.
“You ungrateful, little--- I am trying to be courteous and all you could do is laugh? I knew I shouldn’t---”
“Whoa, calm down! All I’m saying is that you are over complicating things. Just keep it simple, I don’t know”
“Since when are simple things enough for you?”
“You’d be surprised, but for starters you can tell me just how cool I was, how good I looked being all serious and admit that it was the best display of self control you’ve seen ever”
If this was about self control, England thought he should be praising himself for not choking someone to death then and there.
“I was kidding… geez” America said when he saw lethal venom radiating from the other’s eyes. “Just tell me, were you impressed?”
“Not that much”
“England…”
“Alright, I was… a little impressed. I could see you really tried and well, you succeeded in the end”
“Good enough for me. Was it that difficult?” America asked with a friendly smile.
“Shut up” the Island replied seemingly annoyed but it was obvious he was trying hard not to return the smile; perhaps this wasn’t as bad as he had imagined.
“Okay. Time to get my real reward” After those words, England thought that America’s face never looked more similar to that of a little devil. Damn…

Wow, I didn't expect this to turn out so brilliantly funny so fast. But seeing crafty!England try to play dirty is hilarious, as is America's reaction: “Come on, don’t be a sore loser! I even had to turn down the warm donuts with an empty stomach this morning and the hamburger… the hamburger!!” I can practically hear the melodramatic anguish in his voice there. XD And poor England getting all paranoid that America had switched places with Canada was hilarious. I'd feel sorry for France for having to deal with paranoid!England, but he's clearly enjoying himself way too much. XP
Oh England, your life is pain: If this was about self control, England thought he should be praising himself for not choking someone to death then and there. ;D
I love that everyone figured out the bet so fast, btw.
