"Um, I was just going to go into town to pick up a few things. You fancy coming along?" I asked quietly.

"No." he snapped back and I was immediately taken aback with his mood, "I've got loads to do, emails and stuff."

Dan never did emails and stuff by his own accord. Usually I had to force him or bribe him with the probability of chocolate on the other side to get him to even look at his inbox. Why was he acting weird? Had I done something wrong.

Probably. You always do something wrong.

"Oh okay." I replied, "bye then, and I walked out his room and straight out of the house.

It was clear he didn't want me to stay any longer so what would be the point in staying and trying to convince him when I would just get a "no" shoved in my face. Anger flooded my emotions and I couldn't exactly piece together why. Why was I allowed to get angry at Dan for having stuff to do? It's not like I've never blown him off for work before. It just seemed to get to me that he was so blunt about it.

Come to think of it: he's been acting pretty out of it for a while now. Giving one word answers to important questions; rarely wanting to leave the house; not eating properly and being snappy and generally unpleasant to anyone he made contact with. I'm sure he has his reason's but I wish he'd just talk to me about it. 

Sometimes, I just want to wrap my arms around him and tell him everything is going to be alright because it will be alright. Maybe not now. Maybe not even some time soon. But eventually. Things will go right and it will be amazing. I want to make him okay again. How can I do that if I never find out what's troubling him. I back down on asking because I'm afraid that I'm the problem and one day he'll just break and tell me to fuck off or to just go away. That would break me more than anything. More than anything I couldn't handle him hating me.

You're over thinking it.

Walking down the high street, I tried to turn my attention to anything but Dan.No matter how hard I tried, it seemed impossible. I had no where else to look but the ground but that just resulted in me bumping into people. Every time I did, I felt my cheeks get hot with blush and people judging eyes bore into my skull. Instead, I attempted to focus on the task in hand: buying printer paper and new socks. Not an extravagant list I'm aware, but necessities nevertheless.

 ***

3 hours later and I had purchased not only the things i went out for but in addition to them: Everthing's eventual by Stephen King, a set of 10 felt tips (they were on offer) and The Hayao Miyazaki Complete Collection. All in all, a pretty sucsessful shopping trip. On the journey home I dropped my shopping bags about 3 times and was shouted at least twice for walking too slow. I enjoy dawdeling, even it gets on other peoples nerves.

Attempting to avoid Dan I immediatly went to my room and, after shoving my shopping in the corner, got out my laptop. I sat crossed leged on my bed and read through some tweets and rebloged some Tumblr posts.  However, I soon got bore and my attention was turned elsewhere. I thought about what I would have for dinner; I thought about what my next video should be; I thought about what was on in the cinemas that I could go and see. I thought about everything but the problem at hand and the next time I set eyes on the clock I realised I'd been there for over 2 hours.

I should probably start making something for dinner.

Shit, what will Dan want? Does he even want anything.

"Dan," I shouted loud enough that he would hear without me having to exit the comfort of my bed. 

 "Yeah?" he asked sounded along with his fast paces along the landing.

He opened the door quickly and looked sanguinely at me.

"Just wondering what we were going to have for dinner tonight?" I questioned.

I wasn't expecting him to come in and just sit on my bed like everything was back to normal but he did. How can he just do that? Distance himself and then a few hours later act like there was nothing wrong... I wasn't willing to interrogate so I didn't dwell on it for too long this time.

"We could get pizza. There's that new place in town, we could order from there."

"Yeah, okay?" I answered, "What's it called? I'll get the menu on the internent"

"No need." Dan jumped in, "They shoved a flyer through out letterbox the other day, it's downstairs. I'll get it."
