..Noon...
Night's group left the classroom in search of lunch.
-Would you like to go to the same restaurant? suggested Nott.
-Kyu, where are you going? Gus asked as he walked down the stairs of the building and Kyu walked in the opposite direction.
I'll find a place to sleep for a while. When you go to class call me Kyu said making his friends suspicious before Kyu left.
-May, why did you fight with Kyu? Night asked.
- Nothing happened, answered May shortly.
-You didn't fight, so why do you seem so distant from each other? Night asked again.
- It's nothing, just a small difference of opinion, I'm hungry, let's go let's eat something May said breaking off the conversation and walking over to Night, Gus and Nott.
May still had a tense expression, but Night didn't ask anything else, then as Night walked, he saw a familiar car parked at the university.
-Who the hell is that hot guy? Nott said as he saw a tall young man leaning against the car wearing dark glasses.
-Hey Night, this is the guy from last night, right? Gus immediately told Night. Night's face immediately tensed.
-Who is? May asked as the tall man walked towards Night.
The eyes of the women and some of the men were watching the young man with interest. Even more so when the young man arrived and stopped in front of Night. Then he saw his friend's face and looked at him.
-What happens? May asked.
-I have some business with Night, he answered the calm young man.
-What are you doing with my friend? And how did you know my friend studies here? Gus asked.
Neil smiled slightly because no one knows that Night and Neil already knew each other.
"I know all about this friend of yours," Neil said, looking at Night.
-What are you talking about? Gus shouted fearlessly, plus there are a lot of people at the university
-Gus...I'm really dealing with him Night teased.
Judging by Neil's expression, Night believed that Neil would be able to tell everything if he refused to talk. The tall figure smiled.
-What's up, Night? Gus continued to scream.
- I really have some work here, you don't have to worry about me.
I want to talk to him a little. You can go wait at the rice restaurant, Night said in an equally irritated tone, because he doesn't want his friends to know too much.
-Night... why do you seem to have a secret from me? Gus asked softly.
-Gus, I'm begging you, I'll tell you about it. But for now, can I talk to him first? Night tried to talk nice to his friend.
Gus looked back and forth between Neil and Night.
-Okay, but I'll wait for you here. I don't want you talking in a remote place, Gus said worriedly for his friend.
Night looked at Neil before walking to Neil's car. Neil walked silently and put his hand in his pocket. Night sat on a bench next to Neil's car, Gus sitting under the building waiting for him.
-What do you have to do with me? Night asked calmly.
-Why? If I have no business with you, so can he come to see you? Neil asked.
-It's not that, but Night was surprised that Neil came to visit me here. "Actually, you can visit me at home," Night said hurriedly.
"I thought you were afraid Gear would see us," Neil said, looking at Night.
-Don't look at me like that, Night. We were wrong about you yesterday, Neil said sternly.
But Neil did too much, Night said.
-Too much... Or was Night worried about that bastard? Were you afraid he would die? Neil asked again.
-Night doesn't care, but if he dies, the person who will be in trouble is Neil, Night said, because he didn't want Neil to get angry. Neil smiled slightly.
- But he didn't die. Why didn't Night go with me last night? You went with him, even though I made some mistakes, but Night could have continued with the plan. Night you went with him. why? Neil said again,now the tall figure's eyes turned fierce.
-P'Neil, let's talk about it at home... don't talk about it here.
P'Neil had better tell Night why he came, The small figure changed the subject. Neil took a deep breath before speaking.
-What I asked Night, do you remember? Said Neil. Night was stunned when he heard.
-I asked you to forget everything and come back to England with me. I'll take care of you Night, Neil said in a calm tone.
"Phi Neil, we already talked about it," Night said softly.
-Is Night still in love with Gear? Neil asked softly.
-No, argued Night. Neil smiled slightly.
-Your mouth says it, but your eyes don't match what comes out of it, Neil said, Night didn't know how to act.
-Phi Neil, please come back first, Night interrupted the script because he wasn't ready to talk to Neil right now. He knows Neil wasn't going to give up.
-Ok, I just wanted to see Night's face. I want you to show that you don't think about that thing anymore. If Night falls for him again… I will end it all with my own hands, Neil said.
Night looked at Neil with trembling eyes.
-Why does P'Neil have to do this? Night asked.
-Well, I love Night, Night should be mine only. I will not give Night to anyone. Even if Day blocks me, I won't give up, Neil said, then got back into the car and sped off. Night stood still until Gust came up to him.
-What's wrong, Night? Your face doesn't look good at all, Gus asked, though he wanted to ask more.
- Nothing, he just came to say hello, Night said.
Gus, don't tell your brother about this, don't tell him Neil came to see me, Night told his friend, because he doesn't want Gear to get too suspicious.
-Why are you talking about that bastard who already knows you? Gus said and Night sighed.
-Um, well, he's an acquaintance of my older brother Night didn't mention the exact relationship between Neil and his family.
"PDay just told me last night," Night said, a look of Guilt in his eyes.
Night doesn't want to lie to his friend, but he also doesn't want to mess up his brother's plans.
-This is true? When P'Day met him, Gus said.
-Okay, stop talking about it. Let's get something to eat, Night cut the conversation short.
Suddenly, a car horn sounded, causing Night's group to turn to look. They found the Gear parked in the same position Neil had parked it when he arrived.
-Shit, said Gus, remembering that detail. If Gear came and saw Night talking to Neil, it would definitely make for a great fight, because Gear wants to make things right with Neil about what happened last night.
-What are you doing? Gear asked as he got out of the car. Her beautiful face had bruises at the corners of her mouth and white gauze at the tail of her eyebrows, but the tall figure was not wearing his student uniform. Besides, the one driving was Four.
-Damn, don't you have classes in the afternoon? Why are you and Four wearing normal clothes? Gus asked when he saw that Four was wearing normal clothes and hadn't even gotten out of the car.
-Four and I skipped school today. So, I came to get you and bye Night, Gear said.
-Where do you want to go? Night asked quietly. In his heart he felt relieved that Gear didn't meet Neil.
-Let's go find something to eat. do you have any exam Gear said before asking the small figure.
- No, answered Night, thinking that he doesn't really feel like studying today either.
-Then come with me, Gear said, May looked at Nott in shock as she heard Gear import Night.
"Okay," Night replied shortly.
-May, Nott, Gus and I will be skipping classes, if there is any assignment you can pass it on to me, Night said to his friends.
Then Gus came and sat in the car next to the driver.
-Wait!. Night glared at Gear before getting into the car.
-What the? Gear asked. The passing students looked at Gear with interest.
-Did you say you are my boyfriend? Night asked quietly.
-Hmm, why? Gear responded with a question.
"My shoelace came untied, tie it," said Night, extending his leg forward. Hey Night, are you crazy? You use P'Gear to tie your shoelaces, Nott hurriedly whispered to his friend.
Night looked at Gear who was in shock. There were many people who heard Night speak. Everyone looked at Night and Gear curiously, they wanted to know if Gear would do what Night said.
-Okay, can you do it or not? Have you forgotten what we agreed on? replied Night.
Gear sighed before walking towards Night. There was a screeching sound as Gear bent down to tie Night's shoelaces.
Even Night was stunned by Gear's willingness to do so.
-Done, can we go now? Gear asked.
Night nodded before getting into the car. It wasn't long before the whole university knew about it. The tall figure had never done this before.
-Gear, did you tie Night's shoelaces? Gus asked as his brother got into the car.
-Yes, answered Gear.
-Huh, ok, that's big news for sure. Mr. Gear, a famous young man in college, the one who never gives up... has come to tie the laces for Mr. Night. A young man with a sweet face. Mr. Gear will be destroyed by this event, Gus sneered at his own brother.
"You talk too much," Gear said to his little brother before looking a little indignantly at Night, but Gear didn't understand why he did that, because he had bent down to tie Night's shoelaces in front of everyone.
-Are you not satisfied? Then why did you do it? said Night, the small figure who was also shaken by what Gear had done, constantly reminding himself that he had to get revenge on Gear, because if Night was weak with Gear he was sure Neil would step in on the matter.
Night froze at that thought. The little guy was starting to understand why he didn't want Neil involved.
-Did I tell you I'm not satisfied? Gear asked, so Night thought nothing more of it.
-So where are we going? Gus asked.
"Let's go find a nice restaurant to hang out at for a while," Gear said.
Gus turned to look at Four who had been silent since Gus got in the car.
- Then why don't you open your mouth, you bastard? You haven't spoken, aren't you going to say anything? Gus turned to look at Four as usual.
-Don't mess with him, he's in a bad mood, Gear said. Gus looked at Four who was looking at the road.
-What happens? Gus asked curiously.
"He just had a fight with his brother Wan," Gear said again.
-You talk as much as your brother Gear, Four said dryly as Gear tells Gus how P'Wan hit Four.
-Hey, is that right, you and P'Wan had a fight? What's up, I don't see any sign of you? Gus asked jokingly, because he also knew Four's brother.
Gus leaned down to examine Four's face, he was sitting still, driving without looking at anyone. Four nudged Gus's small face with one hand.
-Cheeky, Four turned to curse at Gus, causing the small figure to see a bruise on Four's right cheekbone.
If Four hadn't turned, Gus wouldn't have been able to see.
--Ha ha ha. Is that why you didn't turn to me? That's why you walked away from me, you're always the same.
Gus immediately chuckled
-Wait, I'm going to leave some marks, don't you mind? But, they don't put them on your face, they put them on your neck, said Four, who couldn't help but argue with Gus, Gus in turn froze at this.
-Naughty bastard!! I'll leave another mark on your face, Gus said, turning around, because he felt choked and red in the face, so he had to calm down for a moment and turn around again.
-So what did you fight with Phi Wan? Gus asked again.
"Your ears don't want to hear," Four replied shortly, before turning his attention to the road. Gus wanted to ask, but kept his mouth shut.
-What's wrong, are you in a bad mood? Gear asked Night, who was visibly tensed.
"Nothing, I have a few things to think about," Night said quietly. Gear reached down to lean against Night as she shivered.
-What are you doing? Get up you're heavy, Night said as Gear lay in the back seat and got on Night's lap. Gear's handsome face looked up at Night.
- I want to sleep like this. I'm not asking much, I just want to rest on your lap, Gear said, begging again and leaving Night speechless.
Night set him down and Gear grabbed one of Night's hands and gently rubbed it back and forth. However, Night turned to look out of the car, not wanting to look at that beautiful face lying in his lap, Night's heart began to tremble again.
The more he saw Gear's eyes and the way he was looking at him, the harder it was for him to control his trembling heart.
-Night, does your brother know how badly I treated you? Gear asked. Night immediately turns to Gear.
--How do you know? Night asked.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gus said
-So what is it? Night asked Gear.
- So, he knows you're back with me? Gear asked again.
-Hmm, replied Night shortly.
-Does your brother agree? Gear asked curiously. Night froze because he didn't know how to answer Gear because he knows Gear will keep asking.
-He's not too happy, replied Night, Gear was silent.
-So, let me talk to your brother, okay? Gear said. Night immediately looked at Gear.
-What do you want to say? Night asked curiously.
- Let's talk about the two of us, that we got back together. In case he won't be able to accept, Gear said again. Night turned to look out of the car.
-Are you going to talk or let my brother kill you, buffalo? Night murmured softly.
-What you said? Gear asked, unable to hear what Night said.
No, there's no need, don't talk about it, I can take care of myself, Night interrupts, leaning his head against the back of his chair. You have a lot to think about and stress about.
He worries about Kyu and May, what Neil might do, and now Gear, being crazy, wants to talk to his brother.
-Night called Gear again to the small figure.
-What else? Night asked dryly.
-You can't just be nice to make things better, Gear said angrily. Gear knows that Night is mad at him, but Gear has never had to see anyone mad at him like this, except for Gus of course, but he's his brother.
-You are not satisfied with me, get up then, or why do you come and lie on my lap? Are you going to die?... Have you thought about how I will feel? I'll let you come and get the indulgences you want. I'm not doing it because of sweet words. That's why I'm turning into a buffalo, Night said.
Even Gus and Four were silent.
Gear was silent and could only look at Night who was looking at Gear with trembling eyes but Night looked away because he doesn't want Gear to see weakness in him.
Gear said nothing but rested his head on Night's stomach. He then used his hand to hug Night's slim waist. The small figure trembled slightly. Gear didn't sit down like Night said, but Night was glad Gear didn't complain again or Night would explode in frustration for everything that happened to him.
-Gear, where are we going to eat? Four asked breaking the silence.
-Drive through Bangsaen. If you find a good place to eat, we'll go to that restaurant, Gear replied in a muffled voice. Four didn't ask anymore.
-Oh, where's your friend named Brick? I haven't seen him go anywhere with you lately, Gus asked suspiciously.
- I don't know, I suspect he is with a woman. "He's been acting suspicious, skipping class and then calling me screaming saying he's gone I don't know where and rarely calls back," Four said.
"I wonder if that's true," Gus said dryly because he didn't care at all.
Soon, Four drove to Bangsaen. Before looking for a restaurant with a good atmosphere, then I park the car.
"Damn, I'm so tired," Gear said, getting out of the car and stretching his legs.
"Well, lie down with your legs folded, you must be tired," Gus said to his brother. Gear turned to Night before taking the small figure's hand and walking into the restaurant. Followed by Gus and Four.
When they got a good seat, they continued to look at the menu.
-Would you like to eat something in particular? Gear asked.
-Anything, I can eat everything, replied Night categorically.
Night feels some relief now, the cool breeze and the smell of the sea, the restaurant is located not far from the beach, hearing the sound of crashing waves made Night feel less irritated. The food was served soon until the table was full.
-Wait, Night said, causing Gear who was about to take out the lemon steamed octopus to freeze.
-What? Gear asked.
--Can you eat shellfish, Gear? The wound will be harder to heal, Night said, reminding him of the wound.
"Oh, well, I can eat anything," Gear said.
"Well, you can eat it, but you don't have to eat too much," Night said, but he couldn't help but worry.
-Yes, answered Gear.
-I'll open the shrimp for you, Gear said to Night. Before shelling the seafood for Night.
The little one managed to eat everything in time, while Gear peeled them one by one.
-There is only Night, why don't you open it for me too? Gus muttered as he watched his brother open the shellfish for Night.
-You don't have to be obsessed with them. Come on, I'll do it so the young man can eat, Four said to Gus.
-Everything must be undone, Gus answered.
