Psychopathism.

Chapter Eight "Unexplained Changes."

Dawn came late to the neighborhood. An early rainstorm covered the towns, keeping people stay at their houses before they do their weekend activities. After the rainstorm ended, Pan woke up softly. He felt something missing, as if last night is different than today. He opened his eyes, to know that Lance, that was close to him gone. Out of trace. Pan senses soon activates, trying to look for him. "Lance?" He called out with a groggy voice, still tired. No response. He look around for his bag, which he found laid next to his bedside table on the floor. He let out a sigh of relief, then he slowly got up, trying to go outside and find Lance.

When he got out, he smells something. This smell, he thought, as the smell grew closer. He then check downstairs, and his heart rate seemed to decrease slightly. Lance is there, cooking it seemed. Is he making breakfast? Pan asked himself, and it seemed that he is. When Pan gotten closer and finally pat on Lance's shoulder, he tensed and screamed. "GET AWAY-" Before he could finish, Pan suddenly lean forward and covered his lips with Pan's hands. Lance look at Pan with a very submissive look on his face, and when Pan realize what he done, he blushed and remove his hand from Lance's lips.

"O-oh gosh, I'm sorry Lance! I don't  now what came over me! Please don't be mad!" Pan apologized, and Lance seemed unfazed. He just stared, then chuckle cutely, "N-No, it's all good Pan! it's alright!" Lance reassured, and Pan seemed to just stare, not really believing him. Lance sigh, then smiled, "I already prepared breakfast for you, you should eat them now before it gets cold." Lance said, and Pan just nod, still blushing slightly. Pan sat down and it looks like Lance made pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs with few meats. When Pan took the first bite, he was surprised with how good the meals are. "Lance, wow man. This foods are great!" Pan said, honestly as he keep eating. Lance smiled, "Thanks! That is great to hear!" Lance replied, and he sat down next to him, eating breakfast.

"So how was your sleep?" Pan asked, out of the blue which makes Lance tensed up slightly. "Ya know, the usual. It's not bad, nor good, but with you next to me, I feel a bit better." Lance replied, though he kinda blushed when he realized what he just said. Pan blushed too and smiled, "That is good to know, just let me know if you need me as your cuddle buddy again." Pan said, and give him a wink, which shudders Lance and blushes. "What about you?" Lance return the question, and Pan, to be honest his rest feel great. "It feels great, and I don't really get nightmares after that, It seemed you help me out a lot Lance, thank you for being here." Pan said with a smile, and Lance replied with a smile as well.

- Few minutes Later -

Pan POV

Lance was getting ready to pack his stuff, and it seemed that he can only be here for a few hours left, though he prefer to get home early or his parents might get mad at him. Lance now is at the door, already putting his stuff at the floor. I walk up to him, something wasn't really right today. "Lance?" I called, which makes him look at me, giving a questioning look. "Yeah?", and without thinking, I walk up to him and hug him, "Just be careful on the way home alright friend?" I asked, worried about him. Lance only smiled, "I will, dummy. I'll be okay, trust me." He assured, and I hope so. A message notification ringed and I let go, "Be careful, Lance." I said, "See you again tomorrow, Pan. See you around." Lance said before walking out the door with his stuff and on his way back home.

After I closed the door, I sat on my couch at the living room, worried about him. He seemed act a bit different than yesterday, I wish I have the gut to ask, but I don't think he'll liked it. I just hoped nothing will change our friendship...

I got a notification, and it's from Breeze.

Pan4Life : Breeze?
Breeze'sSqueeze : Morning Pan!
Pan4Life : What's up?
Breeze'sSqueeze : Nothing much. Say, what about you?
Pan4Life : Just had a sleepover with Lance, nothing particular other than that.
Breeze'sSqueeze : I see, well I hope you're okay today, and by the way, can I come to your house toady? If you don't mind!
I read the message twice, I am actually cool with this. I don't mind to have company.
Pan4Life : Sure! Just let me know when, and I'll be waiting
Breeze'sSqueeze : Alright! See you again soon!

I put down my phone afterwards, and still worrying about Lance.

Maybe I should talk with him tomorrow, or maybe on Monday.
Maybe I could ask Breeze to help out.

and I know, from the back of my head, that'll be the case.
