England scowled. “I wouldn’t dare. Aside from the fact he’d try to steal them to blackmail me with them, he’d also suspect me even more of being not what I claim to be. He and his brother are too observant for their own good,” he said as he got into the passenger side of the car. He usually refused to drive in the United States if he could help it, and today was no exception. “I’m still trying to trap Holmes so I can have him kicked out of the government.”
America grimaced. “He’s that bad?” he asked as he started the car and pulled out of the driveway.
“No, he’s that annoying,” England complained, relaxing in his seat. The more distance he got from the missing Tony, the better.
“Is he at least an efficient politician?” America asked, glancing at the older nation.
“Why do you think I hate him so much? He’s efficient, ruthless, has the best interests of Queen and country at heart… but he’s so damn determined to get me fired!” England said crossly, gesturing wildly in frustration.
America couldn’t help it; he started laughing, and only laughed harder when England hit him on the shoulder. “Kind of reminds me of the time that the Chief of Staff for the Department of Homeland Security was still a newcomer to the administration, and didn’t think I was capable of doing my job. Barack had to step in on my behalf, discreetly of course,” America said, shrugging with one shoulder.
“Parliamentary sessions always turn into a bloody circus, I feel like it’s a miracle we’re able to get anything done,” England said, shaking his head in dismay.
“Then you haven’t seen Congress in action yet… or rather lack thereof. I’ve sat in a Parliament session before, and it was kind of hilarious to watch you and Holmes trying to tear each other’s throat out while smiling and using fancy language. I feel like Congress on the other hand drags an issue out onto the floor, and then beat it around until it’s dead… and then don’t make a decision about it. It’s frustrating,” America said tiredly.
England was silent for a moment. Then he asked, “When the bloody hell did you sit in on a Parliamentary session, and how in God’s name did you get in and not get caught?”
America shrugged. “Mattie and I were looking for you, and we sort of just followed you in. Turns out Mattie’s invisibility can extend to people he’s traveling with, and I was quiet. Although we both almost got thrown out at one point, we couldn’t stop snickering when once you and Holmes started going at,” he said as he turned onto the ramp that would lead to the short stretch of highway to the airport. “Hey, I do have a serious question though.”
“Go right ahead,” England calmly replied.
“Right. Did Tony at least leave you alone? Or otherwise not give you any trouble? I asked him to leave you alone for the duration of the trip, and he promised,” America said anxiously. “I know I asked you last night about Tony’s behavior, but it occurred to me this morning while we were at the comic shop that you might have said yes only because we were still near Tony and I didn’t want you to feel under duress from fear of Tony’s retribution just because, y’know, he was in the house and you were in the house -”

“I swear to God I try. The main problems are the Area 51 officials, and their superior doesn’t know about the truth about Tony or me. My hands are tied, as are Barack’s. I’ve been trying to come up with a solution to this for almost forty years now, really the only time I don’t worry about him is whether we’re in Alaska or Hawaii, primarily because the Area 51 guys prefer the continental U.S. It’s driving me crazy,” America said, shaking his head.
“Don’t he and Rita get along well? Why not have Rita visit more often? I know that the two of them play extensively at the World Meetings on the few times you’ve brought Tony, have her up north more often.” England suggested, thinking of the young personification of the territory of Puerto Rico.
“Because Isabella is like an overprotective big sister just because they both were under Antonio’s rule together for so long. Isabella interpreted that as Rita being her responsibility, so she’s always trying to hover when Rita comes up to visit,” America replied.
“But Puerto Rico is an American territory, under the jurisdiction of a country that is on very, very fragile terms with Mexico,” England pointed out. “Use that as you will.”
America smirked. “I’ll keep that in mind. Although, if I remember correctly, Rita will be coming this week anyway with her ambassador, talks of statehood have come up again recently, especially since it’s a presidential election this year,” he said. He hesitated, and then said, “I don’t know how I feel about that. On one hand, I’m excited to have Puerto Rico possibly join, but on the other, well, I’ve seen what happens to the personifications of the territories that have been absorbed into the Union.”
England just nodded in silence.
They pulled up to the drop-off area of the airport, and America was already calculating the risks involved with kidnapping England for another week when England said, “Don’t even think about it, unless you want the Prime Minister to contact your boss about a ransom.”
“Yeah, that would be hard to explain,” America said, sticking his lower lip out in a silent plea. “C’mon, just three more days…”
“Now, now, don’t look at me like that. We can Skype sometime over the week when we both have a moment,” England said, smiling sadly as he fussed with America’s hair like he used to do whenever he was about to leave for home when America was still a colony. “I can call you if you want before I board,” he offered.
America shook his head, looking a little sheepish. “Sorry, no dice, I left my phone at home on the patio table when I went to let Britannia out,” he admitted as he placed the car in park, but kept the engine on.
England smiled before cuffing America gently on the back of the head. “Git. But I still love you so very much. You know that, right?” he said quietly, his green eyes searching America’s blue.

America started to reach for the gearshift, committed to kidnapping England as long as possible when England caught his hand. “Nice try, love. But if I don’t leave now, you can’t barrel me over at the next World Conference in five months,” he said, winking.
“As much as I love the idea, I really don’t want to wait five months,” America whined softly. At England’s eye roll, America sighed and then asked, “Who is hosting this time?”
England braced himself before he said, “Isabella. She hasn’t had a chance to host it before, and I expect you to be on your best behavior then.”
“I don’t know, will you be flying into D.C. and we’ll go together in a kickass road trip?” America asked hopefully.
“Git. I’ll have to check my schedule first, then I’ll call once I figure something out,” England said, opening his car door. “Now I really have to go, until next time,” he said, before leaning in and kissing America.
America then watched in sad silence as England gathered his bags and then shut the car doors, waving once England when made eye contact with him. Then he watched in silence as England turned and left.
He waited until he couldn’t see England anymore before sighing to himself in the empty car. Then he turned his left blinker on and slipped back into traffic leaving the airport.

A/N: Sorry, no sexytimes scene, but at the time, when I'd first started writing it, I had never written one before. That changed a couple months later with another kink meme fill I've done here, but I decided to stick to the script here.
Although, if enough people want it, I can give it a shot.
STAY TUNED! ONE MORE CHAPTER! (and trust me when I say you won't want to miss this one ;)

I'm pleased that England was such a gentleman here--especially after him and Tony's bitchfest! Will Tony ever feel guilty?

Just not for the reasons that we're thinking. ;)

Only include sexytimes if you are comfortable with doing so and confident that it is what the fill needs. However, I certainly wouldn't complain if you wrote one...on the contrary.

As for sexytimes, I have thought about writing it but as a oneshot/stand-alone. Then, if I wrote it, I'd post it to one of two sites that I've de-anoned this story on. I
t would be a nice break from the constant multi-chaptered stuff I've been working on. Three other stories, including this one, are set to be finished relatively soon, so that would be a good time.
