Once he got Day's permission. Brick hurried to take a shower and get dressed. Nick also went home and did the same. When the two friends finished, they leave the house with Nick driving "Are you sure you won't go with me?" Brick asked Day again when Day and Neil got out of the car. "Hmm," Day replied, but he seemed to be gritting his teeth. "You won't get mad if I go with this idiot?" Brick asked again. "I won't be mad. Go out and eat something too," Day said in a normal tone and Brick nodded. "After the movie, I'll call you," Brick told his lover before getting in the car with Nick, Day then closed the car door. "Why did you let Brick go to the movie with my wife?" Nell asked curiously as he went to sit with Day inside the house. Even Nell was surprised. "Honestly, I don't want to let him too far out of sight," Day said bluntly. There was still a slight worry in his eyes. "I want him to relax a hit. When I couldn't remember anything, he was looking out for me and had to put up with all my moods. So I want him to rest without me supervising. And one more thing..." Day finally said then was silent for a while. Neil sat and listened intently. "I want him to do things on his own? If one day I'm not here to take care of him, he'll be able to live on his own," Day said in a low tone at the end. "What's wrong with you? Your husband let you go out, and you act like he's carrying the whole world," Nick asked when he saw Brick sitting with a frown since he left. "I was wondering." Brick replied "About what?" Nick asked "I wonder why Day is so kind? He's not usually like that," Brick told his friend in disbelief. "And this is not good?" Nick asked "It's good but it's weird. I wish I could go see a movie at the cinema sometimes I can't help myself. I can't remember when was the last time I went to see a movie," Brick said and turned to his friend smiling but in his heart, he still felt strangely uncomfortable. When they arrived at the mall, Brick and Nick got to the cinema to buy tickets. They walked around because they had to wait 30 minutes, and then they went to the bathroom, then bought water and snacks. Waiting ar the entrance seat, Brick picked up the phone and called Day "What's up?") Day asked Tl be in soon," Brick said to his lover without knowing why Brick wanted to report to Day what he was doing "Hmm... after watching, call me") Day said back in a calm voice. Brick hesitated as if he wanted to continue talking but Nick nudged him to get ready to enter the theatre. Okay.." he told Day and hung up. "Why did you call your husband?" Nick joked "It's like you didn't do the same. I saw that you texted Nell, telling him you're going in," Brick teased his friend back because when talking to he was a talking to Day, Brick looked at Nick too, Hearing this, Nick chuckled before walking into the cinema When the movie was over Nick and Brick walked out of the theatre with the others and talked about the movie. "Nick... Brick..." a voice called from behind. "Oh.. Ket. It's been a long time since I've seen you. Did you watch the same movie? Brick greeted his friend from college, who was in the same class but a different group. They were very close because they used to hang out and drink together a lot. After graduation. they didn't see each other often. "I saw you two, but I wasn't sure so I came to see," Ket walked alongside Brick and Nick. "Where have you been? Nick asked "I was down south. I went to help my brother, but I'm on vacation now so 1 come to visit my parents," Ket replied smiling "My group of friends split out for work so we don't see each other very often. Does Gear and Four are still around?" Ket asked because he hasn't seen his friends in a long time. "We meet often and they are the same," Brick replied. "So where are you two going in such a hurry? Come eat with me, I'm here alone," said Ket. Nick glanced slightly at Brick "I'm not free today. My boyfriend is waiting for me home to eat." replied Brick because he wanted to go home and eat with Day "Is your boyfriend the same person who came over on graduation day?" Ket asked suspiciously because when people heard that Brick was dating a man, they were quite surprised because every time they saw Brick, he was always with girls. "Yeah... it's the same person, who else? And he's a very jealous person." Nick teased laughing. "Then why did he let you two go together?" Ket asked without thinking. just teasing his friend back, but it made Brick freeze. "Oh, it's time to have some privacy." said Nick smiling. "Well, tell me your number so we can keep in touch, just in case will meet later," Brick said, not knowing when he would meet up with his friend again. Ket swapped Brick and Nick's numbers. "Well, see you guys later. You two can go home to your boyfriends. A single person like me will have to eat alone," Ket said jokingly pretending to be sad. This made Brick and Nick snicker When they finished talking, they went on their separate ways. Brick then picked up the phone and called Day "It's the movie over?") Day's voice rang out. Hmm, are you home?" Brick immediately asked DX"Where else would I be? Are you coming back yet?) Day asked in a low voice. Brick heard the TV on the other side and he has sure that his lover is indeed home. What do you and Neil want to eat? On the way home I'll get it for you guys, "Brick asked. Day turned to Neil then he said what they wanted to eat. Okay, I'll buy it for you. See you home." Brick replied because he wanted to buy it then he wanted to rush home because it was almost 13 now "Hmm... tell Nick to drive carefully.") Day finally said. Brick smiled a little before hanging up. "Hey, help me," Nick yelled at Neil as he walked into Day's house to go and help him get the groceries from the car. "Why are you screaming?" Neil scolded. his lover without talking seriously before helping him. Brick also walked towards Day smiling. "How are you?" Day asked before. hugging his neck and stepping inside the house together. "It was a fun movie. Win looks good as ever." Brick said with a soft laugh. Day looked at the smiling Brick and felt comfortable seeing Brick smiling like that. "You probably should have come along." Brick said back.. "I'm glad you enjoyed but I'm too lazy to be with so many people," Day said in a normal tone. "You can go at night. There are not so many people." Day continued but Day didn't answer and shook Brick's head back and forth before going into the kitchen to eat. "Why are you so nice today?" Brick asked Day as he leaned against the headboard. Day just finished showering and he was about to get dressed. "This is not good?" Day asked back "Well, I'm a little surprised." Brick replied, he looked at Day carefully. "I'm fine and I want us to be fine, do you understand?" Day answered Trimm... Trimm The phone rang. Brick picked up and looked at it. Day also looked at Brick through the table mirror. "Hey what's up, Ket?" Brick answered his friend. Day frowned slightly because he wasn't familiar with the name Brick called out. "Have you called Nick?... ah, not sure yet. I'll give you the answer later... well I'll call you later. um... yeah," it didn't get long to talk to his friend before he hung up. "Who?" Day asked in a low voice "Ket, a friend from college. We meet today at the cinema. I haven't seen him since graduation. He raised his hand to honour you." Brick said referring to graduation day. "How many people do you think came to pay respects to me that day?" Day asked back. Brick chuckled because that day, Day had been sitting and
