Bad Buddy: Blizzard (AU, Pat x Pran, Ink x Pa, Wai x Korn) Completed

Chapter 18: Back to Normal

In the afternoon the wheels of the train started rolling again on the iron rails like nothing happened, it was like going back to reality after a long dream. Pat decided to stay with his sister at first, he agreed to follow her in the lounge car since she wanted to continue her conversation with Ink... needless to say Pat got bored quite early.

"Where are you going Pat? Don't you feel well?" Pa asked worried when she noticed that her brother stood up. She didn't know that it was just a vain attempt to leave the conversation unnoticed. A failed attempt...

"Don't worry my dear sister, I just have a headache... I will go back to my cabin, don't worry though, you can stay here with Ink, I will take care of myself" Pat responded.

"Oh ok, see you later then" Pa replied with an indifferent tone and turned back to Ink.

"Don't you think that you should check him? He didn't look exactly healthy yesterday night" the journalist asked preoccupied. Pa chuckled and sipped the tea in front of her, she then smiled at her and added:

"Did you hear how he called me?"

"Ummm... yes, he said ... my dear sister, I don't understand what is wrong with that expression though, unless you two have some kind of secret language" Ink replied.

"Long story short, he never calls me like that, or better... he calls me like that when he is obviously lying and he wants me to cover him. He was probably bored because of our conversation and he wanted to escape... I suspect that he even wants to visit his lover... but please, pretend that I didn't tell you anything and that I was even worried because of my brother's condition" Pa explained.

"Who's there?" Pran asked as he heard someone knocking on the door. The wooden panel slowly moved, revealing Pat standing in front of it. Pran turned to him and took off his glasses.

"What are you doing?" Pat asked curious

"I wanted to check some documents... Wai is supposed to do this but we both know that he has other things to do..." Pran explained.

"Oh, I am quite surprised, Korn has never told me that his second name was 'things', wow..." Pat replied.

"Really? That is the best you can do? Tsk... anyway, what do you want, why are you here Pat?" Pran asked when he left his glasses on the folding table. Pat bit his lips and closed the door.

"No.... don't even dare to think about it!" Pran exclaimed.

"I really don't know what you're talking about Pran, I am just here to spend some time with you" Pat said as he took off his jacket. Pran didn't know what to expect, for a moment he thought that Pat wanted to do a second round of their... night game... but Pat just sat on the bed and patted the spot next to his, he made a cute smile and said "Cuddles".
