When Lithuania saw Belgium glancing at him as she whispered with Switzerland behind her hand, it was the last straw. Shuffling his papers in irritation, he stood up from his chair, glad to be out of the long, dull EU meeting.
The other had been acting strangely throughout the entire two-hour meeting. They kept whispering to each other and snickering, breaking off whenever they realized Lithuania was watching.
His lower back twinged painfully as he bent to grab his briefcase. He really wanted this bank scandal to be over soon. The actual discovery and political fallout was mostly done with, but Lithuania was still reeling from the aftermath.
He wanted to be at home, with Alfred, who had been doting on him more than usual lately. He wasn’t exactly sure why, but the attention was certainly nice.
Lithuania’s good mood instantly soured as he looked up and happened to see Spain snickering as he talked with France. The other nation stopped and tried to force a straight face when he noticed Lithuania looking.
“Hi, Toris,” Spain said shakily. “How are you feeling?”
“Fine,” Lithuania answered, nonplussed. Did he really look bad enough that the others were noticing? Maybe Alfred’s right, I do need some time off.
“Good.” Spain burst out in poorly hidden giggles.
“Is something wrong?” Lithuania asked, forcing his tone to remain cordial and polite.
“No, nothing,” France said, remaining much more composed than his friend. “You simply look a little… tired.”
Lithuania blinked. “I’m fine,” he repeated. “A little trouble with the banks,” my, if I’m not excellent at understatement, “but, I’m sure it’ll run its course soon.”
Spain seemed to think this was the funniest thing he had ever heard. He had to grab hold of France’s coat to stop from falling over.
Lithuania shifted around uncomfortably, feeling a steady ache starting to build at his temples. “I, uh, should be getting home.”
“Oh,” said France, composing himself again. Lithuania’s heard dropped as he saw Prussia drifting towards them. I’m never going to get out of here. “Home… to Alfred?”
Lithuania nodded. He took a small step backwards and half-turned towards the door.
“Be safe!” Prussia yelled. He, Spain, and France all burst out laughing.
“Yeah,” Spain added breathlessly. “Just say no!”
While Lithuania watched in confusion, the trio clung to each other in convulsions of laughter. Cautiously, he finished turning and walked calmly out of the door, before breaking into a jog.

God, those guys were weird.
