America rushed over to the location his friend had sent him through text. He walked around for awhile before spotting her sitting outside a small cafe. With her phone open and a gentle smile.

America waved at her, she noticed him and waved back.

The American sat across her, in front of him there was already a drink which she already ordered for him before he arrived. He smiled at this and proceeded to drink. It tasted sweet, his favorite.

She tucked in a loose strand of hair and stared at the American as he looked vulnerable, enjoying his drink. Whenever someone experiences happiness they tend to let their guard down.

"Don't you think the drinks they make here are amazing? There isn't a single person around either." Her green eyes stared at her own drink, but she didn't pick it up.

She continued, her smile deepening, "this would be a perfect date spot if you think about it." America's thoughts trailed off to a certain person then he replied, "yeah it would."

America started happily chatting away, talking about the beautiful scenery and the amazing food in this area. She listened carefully and attentively.

Her lips twitched but she ignored it and asked, "are you interested in anyone currently?"

America rested his chin on his palm, "well I'm not sure, I think so? But then again I've never experienced it so I wouldn't know." He traced the rim of the cup with his finger.

"Well I like you, would you like to go out?" She mixed her drink with her straw over and over again until some of it spilt over the edges. America chuckled, "haha very funny, I get confessions all the time, it's not even funny to me anymore. A for effort though," the young man said sarcastically.

Her lips pursed into a thin line and her eyes narrowed as well, "I'm serious, besides wouldn't a relationship between the first and second star shock the world?"

"So you want to do this for the clout?"

"That is not what I was referring to, the clout is a bonus but I genuinely like you." She slammed her hand on the table causing the tableware to rattle. America's eyes glazed over her, his identical bright blue eyes landed on her expression, it seemed genuine to say the least.

America got confessions all the time, ever since he was a kid as well. But he never actually felt genuine feelings for anyone, at least until now. Besides most of the time the people who confess to him are usually using him. They probably don't know much about him at all, and he never took the initiative to show them either.

Most of them don't even know his actual eye color, the only ones who know are his family and one other person...

The green eyed lady in front of him was the same, to him, she didn't know much about himself either. America felt that she did know him more personally than others, for example that he liked sweet things and such. But that was only the surface, after all a person is more complicated than you may realize.

"What exactly do you see in me anyway?" America crossed his arms, the atmosphere felt like an interrogation rather than a heartfelt confession.

She sighed, "what is there not to like about you? You have an exceedingly good looking face, ideal body, good personality that's outgoing and kind, a stable career, and so much more."

The shorter lady added, "you are practically the epitome of the ideal boyfriend."

America only scoffed, whether he was mocking her or himself even he didn't know.
