A/N: Hi again. Sorry for the strange pattern in the updates. Hopefully it'll get better soon. So thanks for all your patience and for reading.
I seriously hate paperwork. After the crappy morning and early afternoon I decided that looking at the seriously irritating legal speak was like the lesser evil of sulking or digging through totally gross dusty rooms. It's like almost enough to make me wish we would go back to having to talk to the other nations face to face again. Like almost. It's still totally scary to see new people. Even a lot of the ones I already know are scary. Like that Scandinavian guy with totally no expression. Mr. Swed, Finland calls him. I finally finish with the last form and shove the whole stack back into the folder. Liet's going to be totally in shock when he gets back. All the paperwork done and he didn't have to be a serious worrywart about it. Unless the boss has like a new stack for me. That is totally likely. I'm totally not telling either of them I finished with this stuff for a few days.
The phone rings I scoop it up flipping it open, "Liet! I miss you so much. Like get back here already," I laugh as I lean back in the chair. Even if it's like just his voice over the phone I feel so much better, "I so needed to hear you just now."
"I miss you too," He sounds relieved, "I'm on my way to meet Russia. Can you talk with me until I get there?"
"Like you have to ask?" I get up from the desk and drop into the way more comfy armchair, "Are you like going to be alright? I mean if you decide to put it off I'm totally sure no one would blame you."
"I'm fine, Po. I promise I'll be fine. So what have you been doing all day?"
"That is like so unsubtle, Liet. But fine, I totally won't try to talk you out of it. Though if you want to like turn around and…"
"Poland," He cuts me off firmly.
"Ok. I so get it. I'll like cheer you up then. Anyway, I like tried to clean out that totally gross storage room. I didn't get far though. I mean it's gross in there. By the way that old pair of pants you had and one of your shirts, I think I'm going to throw them out. They got like seriously messed up."
"Po, why were you cleaning out your storage while wearing my clothes?" The confusion in his voice is like so cute.
"Duh, I totally didn't want to get any of my stuff all like stained," I grin. I know how to annoy him, "I'll totally replace them for you. When you get back I'll like take you out clothes shopping again."
"No! I mean, don't worry about replacing my clothes. I'll take care of it later," I can picture him slumping in the seat or maybe just running his fingers through his hair with that seriously funny expression.
I spot a bag of snacks off the side table and grab it, "Liet I seriously wish I was there. Your face must be like totally hilarious right now."
He chuckles. It one of those totally warm little laughs, "I'm glad I could cheer you up."
I munch on my snacks, "You're like great at it. Hey, Liet…"
"Yes?"
"Like thanks. I so needed to hear your voice just now," I feel like totally better but there's that little voice in the back my head still screaming that this is a bad idea. "Keep your phone on yeah. I'm going to totally be checking in with you. If anything happens I'm gonna get everyone to go up and rescue you."
He laughs softly, "You're going to be my knight and lead the charge to save me on pony? I sort of like that idea. Ah, sorry I have to go now."
"Bye, Liet. Like stay safe," We disconnect. I really do feel better. If something were to happen there are people that totally can help this time. As much as talking to them is like totally nervous making for me it's good to know that they will be there.
