"What?!" Spain rocked back as though struck, all traces of laughter now gone from his voice. "You bastard! You actually sent soldiers? Over that?"
"It's not about one incident, git," England snarled, hands clenched into fists at his sides. "It's about the entire way you've been carrying yourself, boarding my ships and maiming innocent merchants like, like some kind of filthy, lawless, thieving buccaneer--"
"--Don't you talk to me about pirates," Spain countered dangerously, drawing himself up to his full height. He paused, then grinned ruthlessly. "In fact, hey, you should be thanking me for giving this idiot of yours the chance to come up with a real snappy pirate name! He, he can start calling himself Old Robbie Scarhead, or Captain 'Come Again?', or..."
"Don't you dare," England hissed, nearly shaking with half-suppressed fury.
Spain just smiled wider and flared his hands dramatically. "Oh, oh! What about Tone-Deaf Jenkins?"
"Alright, that tears it!" England launched himself headlong at Spain's torso, and the thing he had been clutching so tightly in his hand flew out across the room. They crashed to the floor together, bringing the chair down with them as they went.
Limbs jostled. Teeth gnashed. Hair flew. Years later, Austria and Prussia and the others would arrive to sweep them both up and along in a much larger struggle, but for now all that truly mattered was England and Spain, fighting and struggling and spitting out volley after volley of the worst curses either of them could possibly imagine as they viciously battled for dominance.
And meanwhile Robert Jenkins' severed, pickled ear lay on the carpet before them, sad and shriveled and rather wholly forgotten.

HELL YES! Interactions between Spain and England makes this anon so so happy.
At first I was a bit lost, since I didn't know what you were referencing, but once I read the last line it hit me and I'm still ROFLing so hard. I had to read it a second time right away. Tone-Deaf, heee! Oh Spain, you.

I LOVED THIS. The interaction was hilarious and very in-character, and SPAIN WHY YOU SO CUTE <333 I love your writing style too, by the way! Thanks for writing this! The world needs more Spain. And definitely more England/Spain.
Tone-deaf Jenkins, oh my god, win <33
And NO I did not think any highly inappropriate thoughts at Spain's 'Captain Come Again?' no I did not~~
