Night got out of the shower and watched TV for almost two hours before falling asleep. Nott's phone rang and woke him up.
-Night, P 'Gear calls, Nott called to a figure sleeping on the wide bed.
-Oh, when did you wake up? Nott asked in a daze.
-Uh... Some time ago, I was watching TV downstairs. Pick up the phone first, Nott said again, because he had already answered the call.
Night frowned as he stood up, he saw that his friend had already showered. So Night woke up and spoke outside on the balcony so as not to disturb his friend.
-Why don't you call tomorrow morning, said the dry little man.
(--Sleeping?) Gear asked.
- Well, I fell asleep, said Night, annoyingly.
(--Well, I'll wait here until my time comes) Gear replied.
-You're drunk? Night asked, catching Gear's tone.
(--I'm not drunk, just a little dizzy) Gear answered honestly.
- Why, did you say that you don't go out, that you'd rather stay at home? Night immediately asked displeased.
(--I didn't go out, I'm at home, drinking with Four, celebrating a little.) Gear said with a light laugh.
-Are you celebrating? Night asked curiously.
(--Yes, I'm celebrating that he and Gus decided to be together.) Gear said, Night froze when he heard.
-You sure are, said Night.
(--Being honest, I confronted him and asked him. At first, I was still confused when they fell in love with each other. But when I heard them tell about their past, which I didn't know about, I could understand .., Gear said.
Night was still confused, but he thought that if he saw his best friend, he would definitely ask him.
(--Do you mind if I called? Gear asked softly when he saw that Night had gone silent.
A small figure sank into the balcony area.
-No, answered Night in a similar tone.
(--I saw you quiet and thought I pissed you off for calling) Gear said again.
-If I'm angry, I tell you, Gear. I was thinking a little about Gus, Night said.
-So, how long have they been dating? They fight every day, Night said.
(--As of tonight) Gear replied.
(--Did you eat?) the tall figure didn't know what to ask.
-A very elementary question. It's late, I haven't eaten yet, Night said.
(--I don't know how to start from here...huh...where are you going tomorrow?) Gear asked as he remembered.
-I don't know why? Night asked.
(--I'll take you on a hike) Gear said.
-Where? Night asked confused.
(--Where do you want to go) Gear asked causing Night to go silent.
- Huh, talking to me like that, do you want me to die? Night said. Even though her heart was pounding at Gear's words just now.
(--Your mouth said you'd give me a chance. But, your heart hasn't opened to me yet, Night) Gear interrupted.
-What did you do to me... You think it's easy forgot Gear? Night said.
(--I don't even know what to say. But if you feel uncomfortable...)
-What time are you coming to pick me up? A sweet voice interrupted him before Gear could finish speaking.
(--What did you say?) Gear asked because he couldn't hear clearly.
-What time are you coming to pick me up? Night asked again, sec.
(--At 10 in the morning so you can sleep well) Gear replied in a slightly better tone.
-Do you sleep well, you or me? You probably won't get up early. When you drink alcohol you are like that, Night said sarcastically.
(--I'm going to bed now, don't complain) Gear said in a pleading tone.
-I'm not complaining. I'm telling the truth, Night argued.
(--No complaint, no complaint) Gear said with a small laugh in his throat, feeling better than before.
(--Are you back yet?) Gear asked again.
-Not yet, replied Night shortly, not knowing what to say to the tall, strangely excited figure.
(--Night) a tall figure called out to him softly.
(--What do I have to do to make your brother like me? How can I make your brother trust me?) Gear asked in a serious tone until the small figure couldn't not to tremble when he heard it.
-I... I don't know, answered Night slowly, because he really doesn't know.
(--So what should I do to get you to come back and trust me again?) upon hearing this question, Night was speechless. Gear's tone conveyed seriousness and perseverance.
-You have to think to yourself, what should you do? Night replied in an equally serious tone. Night began to hate his own heart that was trembling for Gear again.
(--Well, if you say so... I'll try to make you love me again, I'll try to make you trust me again. And this time I won't do it to beat you. I will. For your heart to come back to me. Trust me Night) Gear promised.
-If you want me to believe you, show me, said Night.
(--After telling you that, I feel relieved. I don't want you to think I did it because I want to beat you up.) Gear said cheerfully.
-You talk a lot, I think you can go to sleep, it's late, said Night.
Gear wasn't the only one feeling relieved or at ease, even Night felt strangely comfortable.
(--I want to sleep holding you) Gear said. It made Night's face instantly heat up.
- Hug the pillow first, said Night.
(--What? Instead of saying you want me you hug me too, you push me to sleep by hugging the pillow, that's not sweet at all) Gear said. He wasn't too serious.
-Uh... I'm not sweet, If you don't like Gear, you don't have to be with me, Night said.
(--I'm so bad, I don't want you to leave. You probably know that I won't be able to break up with you anymore) Gear said, telling him that he couldn't continue.
-Okay, you can go to bed and stop drinking. If you come to pick me up tomorrow, even if it's a minute late, I'll change my mind and not come again, Night threatened to change the subject.
(--Okay, I'm going to take a shower and go to bed. I'm feeling dizzy too. Have a good night.) Gear said making Night smile.
-It gives me goosebumps hearing you talk like that because... Night hesitates, almost hanging up.
(--I want to talk to you alone...) replied Gear.Night smiled hearing this.
(--From now on I will do something new to correct the past where I have done bad things. Give me a chance. I will prove to you and you will see that I will not do anything bad. Again...) said Gear, making instantly that the heart of the Night felt renewed.
(--Gear loves Night...) The last sentence made Night's face turn red and he smiles uncontrollably.
-Hmm... go to bed, good night, replied Night dryly, because now he is more afraid of his own heart.
(--Uh, yeah, bye) Gear finally said before Night ended the call first.
The small figure sat looking at the phone and smiling.
-Can I trust you, Gear? Night thought to herself before entering the room.
"Have a good night," Nott said jokingly.
"I won't go back to sleep," said Night.
-I waited to bother you first... Aow, where are you going? Nott asked as Night walked towards the bedroom door.
-I want to go downstairs and drink some water, do you want a drink? I'll bring it to you, Night asked.
-Well, bring me here, Nott replied, so Night opened the door and went down to the kitchen.
It was now dark downstairs and only a small light was on in front of the kitchen. A small figure entered the kitchen and poured water into a drinking glass.
Thinking that by now Fuu and Neil should have gone to bed. After he finished drinking, Night took a bottle of water from the fridge to bring to Nott. As he left the kitchen, Night noticed that the door to the house was still open. The small figure frowned.
Curious, he went outside to see if Neil or Fuu had forgotten to lock it. But when he came out, he was surprised to see the shadow of someone sitting on the sofa smoking cigarettes.
-P...P' Fuu or P'Neil? Night asked because she didn't know who it was. But when he looked again, he saw that the person sitting with his back to him was Neil.
-Night, answered Neil slowly. This made Night feel relieved as he thought he was a thief.
-Phi Neil stands alone in the dark. Do not sleep? Neil asked worriedly.
As he approached, he saw that Neil was drinking a beer.
-What about brother Fuu, Neil? Night asked again.
-Fuu already went to sleep. I sat down and drank alone. It's something I'd like to think about, Neil replied in his usual calm tone. But Night felt so calm it was Frightening.
-Neil... Is Neil drunk? Night asked again.
- I don't know, answered Neil in a slightly annoyed tone.
-Uh... then Night doesn't bother Neil anymore. Night would like to… The small figure was about to return upstairs.
-Just now, I was out drinking in front of the house, Neil said before Night finished speaking.
The small figure frowned in confusion as Neil told her. Neil turned to look at Night, even though it was dark. But Night was very aware of Neil's bright eyes.
-And then I heard you on the phone with that bastard!!! Neil yelled as he stood up in front of the small figure. Night's heart skips a beat when he learns that Neil heard him talking to Gear, as the balcony of Night's room stretched all the way to the front of the house.
-P...Neil... Night is... the small figure tries to explain.
But a strong hand grabbed Night's slim shoulders, then squeezed him tightly.
-Night doesn't have to say anything!! Night still loves him. Night can't forget him. Correct!! Why? If he hurt Night so much, why do you still love him? Why do not you love me? “Me?!!” Neil asked angrily.
-P...P Neil... it hurts... leave me, Night said, his voice shaking, immediately feeling the fear of the person in front of him.
-I love Night more than him. I take better care of you than he does. Why isn't Night paying attention to me? Why? Neil gritted his teeth, repeating the same phrase.
-Phi Neil... Night is scared... phi Neil, let me go, the little one tries to speak gently to Neil. For Neil to calm down a bit. But, it doesn't seem to help much. The smell of beer on Neil's body made him realize that Neil didn't just drink a bottle.
--I'm curious, if he knows that Night has become mine, he'll still need it by Night? Neil said making Night's eyes widen.
-No, Neil!! Phi Neil, let me go!
The small figure immediately squirmed when she knew what she was about to face.
The small figure was tossed onto the large couch, Night found himself with Neil's strong body straddling him. Neil is now crazy with jealousy and drunk and his brain is no longer thinking clearly.
-P'Fuu, help!...oops, cried the little one for Fuu to help him, but he was touched by Neil's lips, who swallowed Night's scream.
No matter how hard she struggles, she can't quite get out of Neil's grasp. Night pursed his lips, but Neil seemed to be trying quite hard to insert his own hot tongue into the small cavity of his mouth.
Night's tears flowed immediately, trembling with fear. Neil's strong hand slipped into Night's nightgown and caressed all body, Night turned, backing up each time, before he heard a strained voice ringing in his ears.
-Neil the bastard! A loud scream echoed through the house. Before Neil's body was ripped from Night.
-Night called Nott's voice as he ran to help his friend up. Quiet!
Fuu directly hit Neil but Neil didn't respond, Nott had to step in and stop Fuu.
-P'Fuu, that's enough! It's enough, Nott was angry about what happened to his friend, but he doesn't want Fuu to take any serious action.
Both Fuu and Nott heard loud noises downstairs. So they left the room together. When Fuu realized that Night had come down, he quickly went down to look for him. And he saw Neil riding over a small body.
-Damn Neil!! You know what the hell you're doing...that's my friend!! Fuu stopped hitting Neil and screamed with loud voice.
-So what... I love Night. You heard I love Night! Neil shouted loudly.
Nott saw that Fuu wanted to hit Neil and immediately turned to Night.
Now the little figure sat crying and looked at Neil with tears streaming down her face, trembling.
- Night, you are fine. Calm down, Nott immediately comforted his friend.
-I know you love Night! But in doing so, you are no different from that idiot. And if Day finds out, what are you going to do?!! How will you tell him? Can you see how scared Night is? is this how you want to tell him you love him? Fuu shouted angrily.
-Why?! That idiot Gear does a lot of bad things and Night still likes him. Night hasn't forgotten him at all, Neil yelled again.
Before grabbing his shirt and bag, he headed to his car.
-Uh...huh...huh his voice sobbed Night, until Nott had to hug him.
There was a loud noise outside for a moment. Before Neil rushed out of Night's house. Then Fuu came in with a sullen face.
-That damn friend really sucks, Fuu cursed, before seeing Nott's disgusted look at Fuu's words.
-How is Night? Fuu went to sit next to Night on the other side.
-Huh...Pee Fuu... Where did Neil go...Huh? Night, though scared, was deeply worried.
- Let him go and die wherever he is. Let's sit and calm down, Fuu said angrily.
He still can't imagine if he hadn't come to sleep here. Surely Night wouldn't have had anyone to help him.
-Eh... P' Fu don't tell P' Day... Eh... Night begs you, don't tell him, The small figure impulsively shakes Fuu's arm.
Fuu looked pityingly at the small figure.
-Why Night? Nott asked curiously.
This incident made Nott very doubtful. But, he didn't dare ask any of them now.
-Huh... I don't want to... cause trouble for P'Day....hek... have to be tired for me again... huh... I don't want him to fight. ..huh..let's have a problem, Night said, crying.Fuu took a deep breath.
- Well, I won't tell him. So you're okay, you're not hurt somewhere? Fuu asked.
-Uh... no, answered the small figure.
- Let's take Night to bed. Neil and Day won't be back tonight, Fuu said, so Nott was helping Night up and back upstairs. Fuu closed the door and followed them into Night's bedroom.
-Nott, you can sleep now. There's nothing else tonight, Fuu said in a low voice.
Nott nodded before Fuu walked out. Nott locked the room and turned to see Night lying on the bed crying with red and swollen eyes.
-Hey...I'm small...I'm so skinny...Hmm...have you seen Nott? Night said.
-Why do you say that? You're not weak at all. If it were me, I'd be as scared as you are, Nott said.
-Because... I... I always only cause problems for my older brother... Hmmm... Night blames himself for this kind of incident.
-What the hell? You can't blame yourself. I don't know what you faced, but today's story is not your fault. It was the fault of that bastard who tried to abuse you, Nott said.
Night put his hand to his forehead and let out another scream. In his thoughts, the image of Gear now appeared. He feels like he wants to see Gear right away.
"Sleep, hey, don't think too much," Nott said again, so Night fell asleep with his back to Nott.
But the eyes still flowed continuously with tears. Nott himself didn't ask or joke about anything, his friend got up and turned off the lights and lay down beside him until he was asleep in no time.
Next morning...
Night opened his eyes to find Nott was no longer lying on the bed with him. The little boy looked at the clock and saw that it was after 9 o'clock.
The little boy went into the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth before going down the stairs. Hearing chatter from the kitchen, he walked in and saw Fuu hugging Nott's slender figure from behind as Nott tried to push Fuu away.
-You're sweet in the morning, Night teased quietly, making Fuu give up on Nott.
-You are fine this morning too, said Fuu smiling.
Now Nott's face flushed with shame when his friend saw it.
-Your eyes are swollen, Fuu said when he saw Night's eyes.
Night smiled slightly.
- Why didn't you wake me up? Night asked him
his friend.
-You fell asleep very late last night, I didn't want to wake you up.
I want you to sleep a lot so you don't have to think too much, Nott said.
-So, what are you doing? Night asked as he looked at the pan Nott was cooking.
-I'm cooking rice for you and your Phi, Nott said with his eyes focused on Fuu. The tall man smiled but said nothing.
-P Fuu, Night, can I talk to you about something? The small figure said before entering the room. After a while, Fuu followed him.
-What happened, Night? Fuu asked.
-Uh...P'Fuu...I'm going for a walk today, Night said to Fuu.
-Who are you going with? Fuu asked.
-Hm...I'm going with Gear, replied Night nonchalantly. His face immediately tensed up when he heard this.
- Did you call Day? Fuu asked again.
-Night doesn't dare to call him. Also, recently P'Day seems to want some time to himself. So Night doesn't want to bother him with anything, Night said.
-Night is afraid that Day won't let you go, said Fuu.
Night was quiet because he couldn't argue.
- Yes, P' Fuu. Night promises to take care of himself. Night will never fall in love with people as easily as before, Night pleads with the tall figure.
-Sure, if something goes wrong tonight, Day will kill me for sure, said Fuu.
-Yes, Night won't get P'Fuu in trouble, I assure you, I promise, Night said again.
- Well, if Day comes back, I'll tell him. As for Neil, you don't have to think too much. He must have been drunk last night, Fuu said.
Night nodded slightly. His face frowned as he thought of Neil.
-So Night will go upstairs to take a shower first. Then he'll go downstairs and eat Nott's food, Night said. Then Night went back upstairs to take a shower.
