Love Syndrome - Rewritten

Chapter 7: Lashing Out

"Hey, can you guys watch over Night for me? I think karma needs some help getting its job done." Day says calmly to Neil and Nan, who both nod. 

"Do you want us to make sure Night doesn't go home with him?" Neil asks, checking to what extent they need to supervise Night and Gear. 

"Yes, thank you." Day says and walks away, his fists shaking in anger. He makes sure that no one at the other table sees him and he makes his way to the car park. 

As he forms a plan in his head, a smirk grows on his face as he gets into his car. 

Inside the bar, a few minutes later: 

"Khun Brick, someone has accidentally ran into your car as they were trying to park." A staff member walks up to Brick, as they had recognised the car and who it had belonged to as Brick and his friends were regulars here. 

"What!?" Brick shouted. He loved that car more than any person he had ever slept with. 

"I swear, I'm going to kill whoever did this." Brick whispers under his breath. 

"I'm leaving guys, and I'm not in the mood to have fun anymore, so I probably wont come back." Brick says, before downing the rest of his drink. 

"Bye, let us know if there is anything we can do to help." Four offers, and Gear nods along. 

"Hmm." Brick replies quickly, before walking away. 

As Brick makes his way to his car, he sees a very tall and muscly figure standing with his back to him, next to a luxury black SUV that was stationary next to his white Mercedes. 

The closer he gets, the more he sees the damage. The car has a large dent near one of the headlights and has a significant amount of damage in the front of the car. Brick predicts he won't be able to even get the car started. 

He knows a lot about cars because he loves everything about them, and that is the industry he has always wanted to work in, so he is studying exactly that at uni. 

"Khun! What do you think you are doing! How do you even have a license? Are you - " Brick is shocked into silence as he sees the person that he was yelling at was Day, when he turns around to face him. 

"Ai'Day." Brick blurts out, not knowing what else to say.

Day pretends to be shocked and says to Brick, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was your car. Uh, I accidentally put too much pressure on the accelerator as I was reversing because I'm a little tipsy if I'm being honest." Day immediately starts putting up a nice front. 

"Uh...Look, I know you're Night's brother so, I'm sorry for insulting you like that. I am just very protective of my car. Just take responsibility for the damage you have caused and I'll be on my way." Brick says, trying his best to control his anger because he doesn't want this situation to negatively affect Day's perspective of Gear and his relationship with Night. 

"Of course." Day replies sincerely. 

"Ah, but I left my wallet at my condo. Can you come with me? It'll be easier that way and I can drop you back off back here, or wherever you want to go. I'll call the tow truck first to take it to the repair shop. My friend owns a shop and I'm sure if I tell him your with me, he'll give you discounts for life." Day offers in a kind, light-hearted and yet apologetic tone. 

Sigh..."Fine." Brick agrees. He has no reason to doubt his friend's boyfriend's older brother and he has talked to him once before, so he thought it would be okay. 

"Just make this quick, okay? I've got a headache." Brick says in a slightly irritated tone. 

"Hmm." Day replies, feeling smug on the inside, seeing how easily Brick was falling for his plan.

At the residential building:

As Day and Brick are walking to Day's room, Brick looks around and notices that this is a relatively expensive apartment complex. A little in awe that someone who appears as rough and aggressive as Day has earned enough money to afford this place, Brick looks over at Day in confusion. 

"What's wrong?" Day asks, noticing Brick's stare.

"Nothing." Brick quickly replies, embarrassed to be caught staring at him. Although, he had to admit...Day was nice to look at. 

Brick had never been attracted to someone who was larger or stronger than him before, but for some reason, around Day, he felt his heart beat speed up. This really confused Brick, as his usual type was someone cute, small, with curves, and bubbly. Day was the complete opposite of this...apart from the curves part. Man's had butt for days! 

This last thought made his laugh to himself, resulting in Day looking at him with raised eyebrows. Brick simply waves and shakes his head to show that it was nothing. 

When they reach Day's apartment, Day opens the door and lets Brick in first. He closes and locks the door, then tells Brick to make himself comfortable while he grabs his wallet and then they can sort out this accident. 

Brick nods politely and goes to sit down on the couch. 

Day enters what Brick assumes must be his bedroom and he comes back out after a few minutes with his wallet and two cans of beer. 

Brick raises his eyebrows in question.

"This is to apologise for ruining your time drinking with your friends." Day offers gently. 

Brick shrugs his shoulders and opens the beer can, taking a few sips. Day does the same while moving to stand in a position so it seems as though he is about to sit down next to Brick. 

After a few seconds of silence, Brick turns to Day and is about to ask something when..."Ow!"

He is cut off by Day, who suddenly turns and punches him square in the face, causing Brick to fall sideways onto the couch. 

Day grabs Brick by his hair and drags him off the couch while Brick is screaming and struggling against Day, asking what he is doing. The pain in his head and cheek don't faze him too much, but it's what happens next that causes Brick to start shaking in fear.
