Originally, I had named this "Rescue", but when I got to the end I had to give it a more fitting name. I'm really proud of this one, so I'm hoping other people can enjoy it too. This is HavenAcceptEcho!Anon, signing out! (Also, if you didn't catch it, Lithuania's ringtone is "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac.)

Christopher had a problem.
No, no, let him rephrase that. Christopher had an obsession. A compulsive need to be liked.

They had gone on a date, and the next world meeting had left Feliks furious when he noticed a couple of Christopher’s fingers were broken. He himself hadn’t even realized they were broken, so the time following the meeting was devoted to a very livid Feliks (“That bitch is like, totally gonna get it from me, Liet! Just you wait, I’m def making her capital Warsaw next time I see her!”) dragging Christopher to the urgent care center down the road so he could get casts for his three broken fingers. He’d tried to reassure Feliks that Natalia was just being affectionate and had wanted to hold his hand, and she was even considerate enough to not damage his writing hand! This did nothing to shorten the slang-ridden lecture Feliks had given him.
