England smiled down at the boy that was dancing on the tips of his toes, trying to hang on to his much taller partner. He looked so determined to please, his brow furrowed in concentration as he tried to match the steps. England couldn't help but feel joyful, although it had been difficult at first, things were beginning to go better. Not only was there profit to be made here in the New World, but there was this beautiful boy who wanted nothing more but to be by his side. In the rapidly expanding world, he had at least one person that was waiting for him.
"America, let's try it this way." He lifted the boy up by his hands, earning a playful giggle, that made England's smile widen. America laughed so freely, he could barely remember if he ever did that as a child. There hadn't been much to smile about growing up in the battlefields of Europe. Here America was growing up on his own, and he would protect him from any other nation. He lifted the child up until he could balance on the ends of his shoes. "Now you can dance with me easier."
England began to hum a tune that would count out the steps, and he lost himself in the dance. He let the rest of the world fade, pretended for a moment that his responsibilities did not exist. Solidified America's sweet face into his memory. It was peaceful, and he couldn't help the grateful tear that slid down the side of his face.
