I Think I Want to Marry You

     "England, you need to get over here now!" Germany called over the phone.

 
     "Hello to you too," came the annoyed British-accent of his boyfriend. 

     He and England had been dating for quite a few years, following the Second World War. Now it was decades later and Germany felt ready to take that next step. What better day than June 30th, 2017, the day that the German government was voting on the legalization of same-sex marriage.

 
     "S-Sorry, Hello."

    "Thank you. Now, what's the problem? Are you okay?" 

     "Yeah...it's just...I think something big is going to be happening. I want you here for it."

     "Still haven't answered my first question love."

     Despite them having dated for awhile, Germany still melted when England called him 'love.' Germany paused for a moment, trying to regain his composure. "Well...part of it is a surprise and the other part is that I don't really know if it will actually happen."

     The other end went silent. Germany could only imagine the exasperated look on the Brit's face. Despite feeling a little guilty, he couldn't say anything more without giving everything away. 

     "Okay...I'll book the flight now. I'll text you when I land." England finally spoke.

 
     "Thank you...ich liebe dich ."
     

     "I love you too."

     It was around noon when England landed in Berlin. Germany had been eagerly waiting for him at the airport for the past half hour. He even came before the text because he could not wait to be in the same room as him again (that and he always liked to be early).When he saw a familiar head of shaggy, blond hair, Germany was quickly out of his seat, making his way over to the gate. England, noticing him, ran to meet him as well. 

     "Goodness, it has been too long!" exclaimed England hugging the taller nation tightly. Germany patted his partner's back lightly, still finding PDA slightly uncomfortable.

     "Ja. It's...it's great to see you too." Germany agreed as the two pulled away. 

     "Now what is this all about?" England asked, lacing their fingers together as they exited the airport. 

     "You'll see," Germany smirked as he took one of England's suitcases.

     "Ugh, fine."

     They first stopped at Germany's home to figure out what they were going to do. Germany immediately went over to his phone. England looked over at him confused. Looking back, Germany did seem a bit more jumpy than normal on the car ride over here. Was he expecting an important phone call?

     His concerns were interrupted by the pitter-patter of multiple paws coming towards him. It was Germany's three dogs coming to greet the two. Berlitz was the first to come forward followed by Aster and Blackie. 

     "Hello lads," he crouched down to pet each dog. He looked over once again to the German, "you seem nervous. Are you sure you're alright?"

     "Ja. Just something really important is being discussed and voted on today." He picked up the phone and looked through a few missed calls and messages (all from Italy about all that was going on as well as his surprise for England).
