A/N: Yeah writer's block. Sorry for the short crappy chapter.


Why should I be worried? Liet was only negotiating with a seriously obsessive stalker bastard who totally had the hots for him since like forever. Yeah, there was like no reason to be worried. The only thing that like kept me from rushing up there was Liet's calls to remind me that he needs to be able to handle stuff like this on his own. He's right and stuff but as for me being like happy about it? Totally not gonna happen.

Liet said that Russia's boss totally wanted it done so he can worry about other stuff. That's why the blini bastard had to finally agree rather than trying to get them to 'become one' again. From what I've been hearing there's been like a lot of grumbling since the Baltics managed to stand their ground during Bloody Sunday and The Barricades. At least he's back now.

"Liet. I totally missed you," He drops his bag and pulls me into a tight hug. Liet is back and he seems to be in one piece that's good. There is the whole shaking and not talking that is totally bad.

"So, like hi welcome home," I figure if he seriously isn't going to talk I should.

He sighs and I feel his shivering stop though he doesn't let go, "It's good to be back."

"What did he do to you?"

"Nothing really. He so obviously didn't get more crazy and lock me up," His voice sounds cheerful but I can totally tell he's trying to placate me, "I'm fine, Poland."

I can't see his face but I can totally picture him trying to put on that fake soothing smile, "You're totally not fine."

"Let it go please, Po," He pushes me away looking totally worn out. He drops his eyes to the ground, "It's not important."

"I don't care if you think it's important or not. Tell me."

I see him flinch, "He didn't do anything. He kept putting off the signing claiming to want this or that checked. When he finally signed he told me to enjoy my vacation. 'They'll hand you over to me again sooner or later.' Maybe he's right."

His hands clench and his voice gets this weird tone. Scared, angry, and resigned all at the same time. He keeps talking voice getting a little higher, "He reminded me that all of you were fine with him taking me. You then America and Germany too.

"Liet…"

"I'm going to bed. Good night, Poland," He grabs his bag and stalks down the hall to the guest room. He doesn't slam the door or anything but I think that makes it worse.
