Love Syndrome (Gear/Night) (Authorized English Translation)

Chapter 9

"Damn it, Night. Will you stop this right now?" Gear said while quickly following Night out of the bathroom. As soon as he got out of the bathroom door, he grabbed the small figure by his arm. Night frowns slightly because this hurt. He quickly readjusts his expression back to normal before turning to look Gear in the eyes.

"You don't have an ounce of kindness in you at all... I'm not surprised at all that I can't remember your embrace," Night snorted. Gear gritted his teeth.

"Heh. Then the guy from last night must have been so gentle with you. Was he very tender with you? Is that why you kissed him when he brought you to university this morning?" Gear asked. Night raised his eyebrow slightly before smiling.

"Of course, P' Fu was gentle and kind to me all night long. So, it's not strange for me to be attracted to him," Night retorted before glancing down at Gear's hand on his arm.

"I think you should let me go now. I'm going to find my friend, Gus. I'm sure you figured out some way to separate him from me. Heh. Why are people like you so inconsiderate of their siblings?" Night continued to speak.

"Night, do you really think you're in any position to go against me?" Gear asked.

"I'm sorry, but are you and I competing? Over what? Or is it that you want to make a bet with me? I see. People like you are gamblers, am I right? People like that are willing to bet on anything. It doesn't matter if it hurts someone mentally. They could even destroy someone's trust without feeling the slightest bit of remorse. People like that are willing to hurt someone to the point of making that person want to die," Night said in an even harsher tone than before while staring hard at Gear. The tall figure thought he was strong until he saw the flicker in Night's pure eyes for just a moment.

"So, what?" Gear asked back.

"Oh, it's nothing. I am merely saying that for myself to hear in case I forget the type of person you are," Night threw back at him, causing Gear to squeeze his arm even tighter. The small figure frowns because it hurts.

"Do whatever you want. I've been hurt more than this. This only hurts a little bit compared to what I've been through. If I can survive that, this won't kill me," Night gritted his teeth and said back fearlessly.

"Night. P' Gear. What's going on?" Mai's voice sounded as he walked towards the two people. Mai noticed how long Night had been gone, so he left to go find him. Gear turned to look at Mai. As soon as he looked away, Night flicked his arm to break free from Gear's hand. He quickly clung to Mai's arm.

"Mai... my arm hurts. This bastard squeezed my arm," Night said in a pleading voice. A wave of confusion swept over Mai's face before he looked down and noticed the red mark on Night's arm.

"Why is your arm so red? ...P' Gear, why did you do this to Night?" Mai quickly grabbed Night's arm and said in a furious sounding voice. He immediately inspects Night's arm, causing Gear to feel annoyed. He didn't understand why he felt this way. Gear smiles.

"Well, why can't I do something like that to my wife?" Gear asked, causing Mai to look up at him. He looks alternately between Night and Gear. Night stared at Gear with an angry expression on his face.

"What do you mean, P' Gear?" Mai asked in confusion and uncertainty.

"It's nothing, Mai... let's go. Someone is just being delusional," Night cut him off and pulled Mai to walk in the opposite direction of Gear.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? What? Are you afraid that your friend might find out what we were to each other in the past?" Gear asked, causing Night to freeze. Mai was becoming even more worried, but he didn't ask any questions. Even though he doesn't know much about Night's past, he knew the small figure would tell him when he was ready. Night turned to look at Gear again before sneering.
