Love Syndrome - Rewritten

Chapter 13: And Then the Storm Hits Part 4

Third Person P.O.V.

"P-P'Day...why are you with...P'Brick?" Night asks in broken parts, his brain trying to figure out the politest way to ask, but also so curious that he just wanted to blurt out 'WHAT!'

With a little chuckle at the reaction they were faced with, Day wanted to answer everyone's questions inside, as it was still chilly so early in the morning. 

"Can we come inside first, don't want to wake up the entire neighborhood." 

Brick, now feeling the weight of the situation dawn on him, wanted to bury himself into the ground. He gripped Day's hand so hard, he was worried that Day would be angry. Luckily, Day only found this cute, and with a small smile, they both walked in. 

As Brick looked up to meet the eyes of his two closest friends, he quickly shook his hand out of Day's and cleared his throat, the embarrassment so strong that he was sure his face was bright red. 

A mischievous smile from Gear and Four as they looked at Brick and then at each other sent shivers down Brick's spine as he and Day entered the kitchen, sitting on the stools while Gus and Night decided to not let everything either burn or become cold, and went back to finishing up breakfast. 

"So...Why are you two here, together?" Gear asked, clearly knowing why but wanting clarity . 

Brick pleadingly looked at Day to show that he did not have the ability to speak, let alone explain their situation right now. 

Understanding this, Day softly pats Brick's hand which was on his lap and he turns to address everyone else in the room. 

"Brick and I are casually seeing each other...Before you ask, we met that night that you all went drinking, in the car park." Day said with a calm confident voice. He technically wasn't lying, he just didn't feel like it was his place to mention what ensued after they met. 

Gear and Four nodded understandingly - the only evidence of surprise on their faces being their eyes widening slightly before going back to normal - while Night and Gus had shocked looks on their faces. 

"Well...this was unexpected...you aren't really Brick's type and I doubt he is yours, but you do you" Gear said, digging into the food Night and Gus has plated and given to everyone. 

"...Brick is pretty cute though and Day's body is what a lot of guys pray for." Gear said with a smirk on his face before everyone started laughing. 

As the laughs died down, conversations drifted to their trip and it seemed as though everyone had moved on pretty quickly from their shock. 

Happy with the turn out, Brick looked at Day with the cutest smile Day has ever seen, before they also began eating. 

Eventually their other friends joined, and since it wasn't like they were very close to many of them, they just let everyone else figure out that they were kind of together from the fact that they were holding hands - which Day had managed to do as soon as they got up to make sure everything was prepared and to meet everyone else outside, before they left. 

"It's like the storm never hit." A voice whispered somewhere. 

Brick and Day both looked at each other, thinking the other person had spoken - but it was actually something else. 

"What?" They both asked each other at the same time, confused, before breaking into a laugh and saying something about it just being the wind.
