closest() does only work to get the fieldset for your control. If you know that the h2 comes after the fieldset on the same level, you could do:

$(this).closest('fieldset').nextAll('h2').first();

But it depends on what you mean with 'closest'. You might want to have a look at the jQuery tree traversal functions.
