Request- EnglandxReader- In Time

She flipped the page in her book, an apathetic look on her face. "Oh what a sorrowful tale. I do weep for you." her voice dry.

A surge of anger rushed through him and he slammed his fist against the wall. 

"When will you cease teasing me?"

A light smirk teased at the corner of her lips.

"In time, my love."

The deep frown marred his otherwise handsome face. Placing a ribbon in her place in her book, she stood and retired to her bedroom.

"No you won't" she now worked with a needle and thread, weaving it through a cloth in complex floral patterns.

"What makes you so sure?" he set down his tea, the soft "clink" bringing her to look up and into his eyes.

"Because you love me."

His anger once again surged through his veins and his stood up, unable to sit still any longer. He began to pace, "Yes, but what of you? You have been stringing me along for years and what have I to show of it? Nothing! You love me no more than you did the moment we met while I fall deeper and deeper each day." 

He stopped his pacing to look at her. There was an unnameable emotion etched on her face. She slowly stood and made her way towards him, delivering a long kiss to his lips.

"Now who ever said anything about me not loving you?" her voice cracked on the last word and she turned her face, taking a deep breath to compose herself.

"I love you." she said shakily, looking into his emerald eyes, "Now, I don't like it one bit and to be perfectly honest with you, it scares me. I would be perfectly content to living the rest of my life denying this fact, but I can't. So if you really do love me as much as you say you do, you are going to have to do a hell of a lot more waiting while I get used to the idea, alright?"

She bit her lip nervously looking into his blank expression. A few eternal seconds passed before a smile came to his mouth and he nodded so slightly, she nearly missed it.

"Good. Now, come with me." she said rigidly turning around and going to exit the room.

"Why should I?" 

She turned to look at him. He seemed to have thawed and now looked more relaxed, a daring mischievous smirk playing at his lips.

"Because I love you, and you love me and when two people love each other, they need to stay together." she matched his smirk and turned again, gliding out the door, grinning to herself when his hurried footsteps began to follow her.
