Canada's POV:

"Canada.." Father England said and slowly turned his head to look at me. There was a subtle frown on his face. After a long pause of silence, he finally asked; "What did you say? I couldn't quite hear you." I felt my heart lurch. I had worked up all of my courage to blurt out that confession and he didn't even hear me?! What the hell?!?!

I thought I might be able to repeat myself, however, when I opened my mouth to attempt to, all that came out was, "I didn't say anything." I felt bad for taking it back, but I don't think I had any other choice. Because once I had a chance to rethink my previous decision, I realized that that probably would have ended badly anyways. Was there really any harm in taking it back? Nobody heard, so it's almost like I never said anything at all.

After a few more minutes of England's scolding, his anger seemed to subside for the most part, and he drove us home. Father could have sent us back to school, but for whatever reason, he opted that this was the better choice. Maybe he just wanted to torture us with the awkward silence of an angry parent being with you in a confined space for an extended period of time.

"Now go to separate rooms for a bit," England ordered the second we set foot into the house. "You two are being punished."

"Then why didn't you send us back to school?" America asked.

"Because! Er... uh.."

"America is right, dear. Sending them back would have been more of a punishment," France interupted as he made his way over to where we were standing.

"Sh- shut up! As a father, I made my decision!" England shouted, clenching his fists like a total tsundere. "Just, go to different rooms!"

"Fiiine.." America said. "I call dibs on our room, though." My brother grinned then ran full speed into our room and shut to door loudly behind him. I wasn't sure where I was supposed to go, so I just sat down on the couch in our living room. France was too busy trying to calm England down that neither of them seemed to notice me.

I fell asleep on the couch, and since no one woke me up, I assumed it was allowed. My dreams were littered with thoughts of what I had confessed earlier that day; that I was in love with my brother.

America's POV:

When I was finally allowed to come out of my room, I walked into the kitchen to grab a bite to eat. Canada was asleep, and England and France were no where to be seen. I just assumed Father France was being perverted alone in their room, so I decided not to look for them. I grabbed a small snack (A large box of leftover fries from the last time we ate out) and sat down next to Canada.

"Bro, wake up," I said, poking his shoulder gently. "Our punishment is over, you can wake up now."

His eyes opened slowly. Canada looked up at me sleepily and rubbed his still drowsy eyes. "Is it morning?" He asked whilst yawning.

"No, it's like, nine o'clock. I thought I would wale you up," I said, and smiled. "Would you like some of my fries?"

"N- no thank you," he declined my offer politely, and sat up. He stretched both his arms and legs. "Where are our Fathers?"

"Uh.. busy I would assume," I chuckled quietly. Canada didn't look like he understand what I was implying, but I didn't bother to explain. Instead, I brought up another topic. "Earlier... in the car... you said something while England and I were fighting, didn't you?" When I asked this, Canada's cheeks went pink. "What did you say?.. I've been wondering about it all day, you know."

"I, uh.. I really didn't say anything," Canada excused himself. "You must have just been hearing things."

"Oh, I always hear things," I said. "But I know your voice, Canada. And I'm sure that's what I heard. And now that you won't tell me what, I'm even more curious as to what it is than before. Canada, you will be tell me," I grinned. Canada looked intimidated by my pure determination.

"Do you really want to know?..." Canada asked, a serious expression taking over his face.

"Yes. I really want to know."

"I said that I loved you," Canada lifted his gaze to meet mine. "Not just as a brother, but love love. America, I'm in love with you."
