So like--haha, I mean, it's fine either way, but--who's yours? [America forces nonchalance in the way only America can. It's fine and it doesn't matter, he can convince himself of that.]
[It's hard not to think of the other people that know him as well as America does, perhaps even better. France and Portugal would give America a good run for his money when it comes to familiarity. But France is...France. England doesn't call him a friend. Portugal, on the other hand, is very friendly like. Perhaps England's best friend in days gone by.
But in the modern day, who is it that consumes so much of England's free time? His Fourth of July, his Halloween, his spare time when they're all stuck in meetings? Portugal isn't the one bringing England home when he drinks or playing pranks on Japan with him. And certainly, when he was nearing death's doorstep after being bombed to hell and back, it wasn't Portugal that visited, either.
England swallows and moves his shoulders in a vague way reminiscent of a shrug.] You can't guess?
