"Bollocks," England said out loud. So he couldn't legally drink at the dance. Oh well, he'd have to find a way around it, then. He sighed. "I don't know, we could call it anything else other than a date. You know that people will assume things if the two of us arrive together in a limo and you're calling it a date."

America raised his eyebrow. "Assume things? What are they gonna assume? Just that you won the date auction and I'm cool enough to rent a Hummer limo and some cute girl is gonna think, 'wow, I should've bid on him, he's so cool and heroic!' and next time there's a dance, I'll go with her!"
It all seemed pretty clear-cut to America, so he didn't know why England was making such a fuss about it. If he didn't want to go through with this, too bad. He'd signed up for it. It was for charity! England got to be around him all night, a privilege in and of itself!

England scoffed. "That you and I are on a date, you halfwit. I doubt many girls will want to go out with you when they think that you're on a date with a bloke." He gathered up the rest of his books and papers and set them aside. "You are still planning on cleaning the microwave, aren't you?

America was pretty sure girls would love him no matter what, and they really had nothing to fear. He wasn't gay or anything. Gay people couldn't be heroes! Look at Superman, straight! Spiderman? Straight. Batman? Pretty straight too. Robin was kind of questionable but that's why he was the sidekick. Kind of like England!
"I think you should worry more about people thinking you're on a date with a guy," he said with a smirk. "Everybody knows I like girls. You're the questionable sidekick!"
With that, America rose up and headed over to the microwave. There was ONE splatter and that was it. He rubbed it with his forefinger and it basically disappeared.

England rolled his eyes. "Obviously I'm not gay. I'm English. And all I have to do is explain that you're an idiot and roped me into this mess and I'm scot free." He crossed his arms in front of his chest. "You're the one insisting it's a date."
He watched America's half-assed cleaning of the microwave and scoffed again. "I do hope you're planning on doing a more thorough job than that. At least wipe it down with a serviette."

"What's a serviette?" It sounded French. America rolled his eyes at England rolling his eyes. "You're gay because you're English. I'm not because I'm a rugged American cowboy hero. Girls can sense these things, they have gaydar!"
He was only insisting it was a date because it was the result of a date auction - what was so confusing about that? America rubbed the spot where the little splatter had been HARDER. What else did England expect from him? The thing wasn't dirty!

England rolled his eyes at America rolling his eyes at him rolling his eyes. "Napkin," he said, standing up and grabbing one off the counter and thrusting it into America's hands. "And I'm not gay. I'm a British Gentleman." He leaned against the counter. "And being a cowboy means absolutely nothing, I saw Brokeback Mountain, Alfred."

"Thanks!" America wiped his face with the napkin, knowing full well that's not what England gave it to him for and not caring.
"Why did you watch Brokeback Mountain?" America asked, confused at first before it dawned on him and he gave a short little laugh. "Probably because you're gay!"
Honestly, America didn't know and didn't want to know whether England was or not, but he did have that certain something, and he wore khaki-colored pants a little too often. It was possible, and either way it was fun teasing him about it.

England gave up on the microwave. He'd just have to clean it up himself later. "I watched it so I could review it," he said. He really did enjoy ripping apart American movies. "It gained a lot of media buzz, so I watched it. It has absolutely nothing to do with my sexuality, Alfred." Arthur realized that it was hard to tell with him, but he obviously wasn't going to say anything else about it. There is, of course, a very fine line between "gay" and "just British".

"Really?" America countered. "I never watched it. It looked too gay for me."
He honestly didn't see how Arthur could claim to have watched it willingly and in the next sentence deny that it made him less than straight.
"Whatever, man," he said, and began to rinse his bowl and silverware. "Just have your check ready for the American Red Cross on Friday and don't wear anything corduroy or TWEED and we'll be all right." America really hoped England owned stuff that wasn't corduroy or tweed - he was such an old man grandpa type!
