England shouldn’t be surprised by his phone ringing insistently at three in the bloody morning. America’d gotten better in recent years about remembering the time difference between them, but sometimes, he’d just be just so excited about something that he’d call anyway.

England supposed this must be one of those times.

Groggily rolling over and snatching his cell phone off the nightstand, he sleepily answered, “Hallo America.”

“England! This totally awesome thing just got found! I had to call you right away, because it’s like awesome layered on awesome!”

Shooing away his fairies laughing at him for doting on America in the middle of the night like this, England fluffed up his pillow and sat up in bed.

“And I assume you are about to tell me all about it?”

“Yep!” He replied jovially, and blast him; England could just imagine his excited grin.

“They found an articulated fossil of a Dimetrodon giganhomogenes!”America said, clearly bursting to tell all. “It’s the first one of this type found with a head attached. And…And it even has the fangs. It’s got the rib cage, and the fins, and it’s all articulated England! Can you believe it? All the pieces are still together!”

And on America went, scientific words rolling from his tongue as easily as the word ‘awesome’ did, and as always, England found his heart racing faster at each Permian geologic period-this and pelycosaur-that.

Bloody America and his blasted science. Always managing to get him all…bothered.

“I mean seriously, England, it’s so cool to find something from over two hundred and sixty five million years ago so well preserved!”

“A-America?” He had to fan himself now with a paperback by Agatha Christie that was on his bedstand.

“You should see the neural spines on it forming the fin. Maybe this specimen will help us figure out finally what the little guys used the fins for.”

“America.”

He took a deep breath, but plowed on nonetheless, “And since it’s a synapsid, with heterodont dentition, that makes it distantly related to modern mammals. The potential for science to discover thanks to this one fossil is going to be so awesome!”

America,” England finally said firmly.

“Huh?”

England coughed. “Any chance you could be on the next flight to London?”

There was a pause, before America laughed lightly. “Oh man, did I…do it again? With the science talk?”

“Y-Yes. Bloody git.”

“Oh England,” he said, but it was endearingly. “I’ll be over as soon as I can catch a flight, is that okay?”

England felt a tug of a smile on his lips at that. Of course, Mr. Hero had to drop everything to accommodate the fact he’d turned on his boyfriend an eight hour flight away by babbling about science.

“You are too good to me, America.”

“You deserve the best, babe,” he quipped back, obviously starting to throw some clothes in a bag by the muffled sounds.

“Idiot.”

“I don’t know England. Would an idiot be able to say Sphenacodontidae and know what he meant by it?”

“Get your nerdy bum over here, all right?” England snapped, his face starting to get uncomfortably warm.

America blew a kiss over the phone. “Right. Heading out now, okay? I’ll tell you about how fossils can preserve blood tissue when I get there.”

England sighed. “Yes. Let’s save that for when you’re here, you babbling fool.”

“Love you too, England!”

“Same. Even if you are a right tease.”

“Sphenacodontidae,” America shot back tauntingly.

England swore. “I’ll switch to Cockney if you don’t stop.”

America gasped, “You wouldn’t dare.”

“Blimey! Get over 'ere now, yew 'ear? Nuff said, yeah?”

As America exhaled a huff into the receiver, England knew he’d gotten even.

“I’ll see you soon as I can, England.”

“Right yew will, love.”

Notes:
[1] America's science babble is all about this Dimetrodon find in December of 2010.
[2] The Dimetrodon was a predatory synapsid genus that flourished during the Permian period, living between 280–265 million years ago. It was more closely related to mammals than to true reptiles such as lizards. It is classified as a pelycosaur.
[3] England resorts to using a Cockney accent.

New headcanon, ahoy! This was all sorts of adorable.

This is so ridiculously cute. America's nerdy babbling makes me happier than pretty much anything, except for maybe England's reaction to America's nerdy babbling, or America's reaction to England's reaction to America's nerdy babbling. <3

I love how comfortable they are with each other here. As always, you add all these tiny details that make the fic practically resonate with how totally in love these two are. England's Agatha Christie, America getting better about remembering time differences, England switching to Cockney, Sphenacodontidae. *flails* I am so in love with this, I can't even.

Oh man, that was just too good! I've been wanting to read about England getting turned on by serious/nerdy America since I read one fic way back when of the same caliber. This is one of my favorite USUK kinks. <33 And the fact that you used one of Arthur's accents as a fetish for Alfred was just icing on the cake! Splendid work! That was truly a feast for the eyes. <3

So precious. ♥ I love the idea that they can make each other so horny by just talking.

So cute and adorable and just DARLING! I usually shy away from fics under a 1,000 words, but man oh man did this deliver. Uh oh- new kink!

I love nerdy!America so much! :D And you write it so well!

Although I have to admit, this line was my favourite:

Shooing away his fairies laughing at him for doting on America in the middle of the night like this, England fluffed up his pillow and sat up in bed.

It just gave me the cutest mental image ever omg.

Also

“Sphenacodontidae,” America shot back tauntingly.

England swore. “I’ll switch to Cockney if you don’t stop.”


So IC-adorable I can't even! <333333333

America is so nice to his boyfriend (especially since it's England), it makes me melt inside~

Nerd speak - a force of sexy that even former pirates and former empires cannot resist.

This is so cute and funny. Nerd!America is my favourite kind of America and the fact that England gets all hot and bothered with dinosaur talk... lol. Genius. And Agatha Christie? I sporfled.

This is completely adorable.

Seriously, this... ♥

I smiled so widely during the whole thing that my cheeks almost hurt now. XD
I love how you write our two favourite nations, how you make it clear with little hints how much they love and understand each other. I find it funny that they both have kink involving how the other talks -be it accent or nerd speak. I gotta admit I also love when America's being all nerdy... =P
Thank you for that lovely fic! I enjoyed it greatly! (^_^)

LOL, oh these two ♥. This is so adorkable~! I love how they know

[identity profile] colevic.livejournal.com 2011-01-19 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
xDDD Too adorkable. I looooove nerdy, science America. It's even better that America's turn-on is Cockney. xD Oh, these two. <3

[identity profile] gingeynary.livejournal.com 2011-01-19 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Aaaah this is adorable ♥
There needs to be more science nerd!America(as a science nerd myself I am perhaps biased) out there ffft ♥

[identity profile] catmenrulz.livejournal.com 2011-01-19 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
haha!! Omg this was great! I have to admit, the thought of nerd speak turning England on never crossed my mind, but, I do love it! XD And cockney for America? brilliant.

[identity profile] binnin.livejournal.com 2011-01-20 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my dear God, yes. Science-babbling America would turn anyone one. ♥

Science + Cockney = Best ever

[identity profile] closeincline.livejournal.com 2011-01-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)
Love this:

“A-America?” He had to fan himself now with a paperback by Agatha Christie that was on his bedstand.

Classic England. Also the Cockney. That can get me hot and bothered way faster than science, but you know.

Any way, this was super adorable, I loved it! Thanks for posting!!

I've always had it in my headcanon that America gets turned on by England's use of various British accents. So of course I'm happy to see it pop up in others' fics. ♥

Nerdy America is the best! And I love how it makes England all hot and bothered. Although, I must admit that I wouldn't mind having someone I could talk dinosaurs with. Just this fic made me break out some of my old dinosaur books, and it didn't even mention any real dinosaurs XP

[identity profile] midori-lover.livejournal.com 2011-01-25 11:51 am (UTC)(link)
I love nerdy!America and England getting all turned on by America talking science is gonna be my new headcanon now thanks to this adorable fic XD♥.
