America’s body was not built with even the minimal curvature required to support that kind of dress, and England tried to ignore the way this gave him a shadowed view down the other nation’s torso when he was leaned over like that. He partially succeeded, but the indecency of it was distractingly appalling. Truly.
“That’s- I- well,” England groped for words, and fell back on an old phrase. Not quite intended for this usage, but Elizabeth had rarely steered him wrong. Gathering his poise, he met America’s gaze as resolutely as he could and said primly, “I don’t desire to make windows into people’s private lives.”
America only smiled, and moved back to his original place. England was about to sigh in relief when America stood and tugged at England’s arm.
“I’ve got some hooch at home,” he said easily, and grinned. Unsure at this turn of events, England stood as well, America’s hand still on his elbow. Before he could shake him off (he did not need to be escorted, thank you) America used his grip to pull England’s body to his own.
“And, since you’re so fond of dresses- in private only, of course- the bank ain’t closed.”
England might not have quite kept up on all of America’s recent slang, but the meaning was very, very clear in context.
((AN: The bank phrase isn’t actually entirely accurate- a woman would say, ‘the bank’s closed’ to a man to indicate that she didn’t want to have sex, so I altered it to mean the opposite. No explicit sex, but I hope OP enjoyed?))
