Cigarette under moonlight (bxb)

I made I lot of mistakes in my first chapter and I'm like dying from the inside! But I'll try not to make them from now on, thanks for reading!
-------------------------💙-------------------------

"Dev, have you ever been in love?" I was lying on the floor and dev was on his bed. Today's day was exceptionally hot so instead of going outside and dying because of the heat, we chose to be inside.

"Why are you asking that suddenly?"

"I just felt like asking you, and what is so sudden about it, it's a normal question" I took out my phone and saw that I had 132 texts from Kanishk, I ignored it and looked at dev.

"Well I don't know what exactly being in love means like how do you know you are in love? Do you get a feeling? How do you fall in love and how are you sure that it's lo-"
"So your answer is no" I cut him off while he glared at me. He hates when people interrupt him and I love what he hates. Siblings you know.

Dev came down beside me and asked, "So have you ever been in love" He had that mischievous grin across his face. I took a moment before answering that.

Have I ever been in love? I asked myself but there was no answer. Surely I've had crushes on people but I don't know if I've ever been in love. I remember being head over heels for nick but then as soon as we became close I started to consider him as a brother. Oh and my brother I remember having a crush on Dev. Ew, I don't know how that happened and I cringe so hard at that memory.

And that's how I ended up hitting Dev across the face and saying that he is the ugliest person alive he looked at me in confusion but was ready to fight with me and then I ran away because he is stronger than me and I don't wanna fight as I'm a nice guy. (🙏)

I ran into my room and locked the door and fell on my bed. Dev kept banging on the door for 10 minutes and then said something about how I'm the worst person and left.

I'm bored to hell and I don't know what to do. I tried to read but couldn't concentrate. I opened Instagram and started to scroll and stalk people I don't even know. In between that, I didn't know when I fell asleep.

I woke up to the sound of music blasting, I looked at my phone to check the time it was half past seven. Who the hell plays Despacito at this time? The music was coming from outside and mostly from the house across from us. But that house has been vacant for almost a year now. What if- if it's a ghost? That brought chills down my spine but I told myself that it was stupid and no ghost will play Despacito I mean it's not a bad song but like, they can like Arijit Singh too.

As I went to open my window to enter the balcony the music stopped.  I needed fresh air so I went there anyway. As I looked at the house opposite us I could see the bedroom lights on and the window slightly ajar but there was no one. I took the water bottle from the table behind me and as I turned towards the house I saw a figure standing there and I instantly screamed and threw the bottle in panic and somehow that bottle hit the stranger standing in the opposite house and I screamed more at the thought of hitting a ghost and that I will probably be murdered by them.

I stopped screaming when someone from down told me to shut up. I looked up slowly and saw the person who I thought was a ghost. He came a little forward towards the railing and smiled, I checked him out because I could and damn he was a true beauty. His hair was wet and messed up, his face was covered in sweat and as he was not wearing any shirt I could his bare upper body. He had a rose tattoo crawling through the right side of his abdomen and reaching near his chest, the petals were coloured blue, he was holding my bottle in his hand and I could see his veins and trust me nothing is sexier than that. Fuck abs you give me veins!

"Like what you see?" I didn't realise I was staring at him and blushed immediately. I looked up at him and he has a smirk on his face, a blushed a little more and managed to apologise.

"It's fine" he smiled and I don't know if I'm right but I could see the dimple on his right cheek, "here, I'm throwing your bottle, catch it" and he threw my bottle and of course, I wasn't able to catch it.

He turned back to go inside but for some reason I wanted him to stay.

"ARE YOU NEW HERE?" He turned around a little surprised and I realised that I screamed all of that I put my hand around my mouth, he chucked seeing me like that and my heart melted.

"Yeah I moved here last week," he said and then added, "I think I even saw you but I'm not quite sure"

'He moved here last week? How the hell did I not notice? Damn I should look around more now

"Oh...so we are neighbours! Nice to meet you" I was feeling so nervous.

"Yeah, we are. Oh I forgot to introduce myself, I'm Nikum"

Nikum, wow even his name sounds sexy' I thought to myself, I was smiling and looking at him while he looked weirdly at me. I couldn't understand why he looked at me that way until he asked me my name and I facepalmed internally.

"Oh sorry, I'm-"

"AARAV! MA IS CALLING YOU, COME DOWN FAST"

Whenever I'm having a good time something happens and it makes me want to kill everyone on this planet. Nikum probably thought that I was dumb but when I looked at his face he was patiently waiting for me to speak. This guy man.

"So yeah I'm Aarav, and now I will run because if I don't go down I'll be dead" before he could say anything and I could embarrass myself more I ran away and slammed my window shut.

"What the hell happened just now? Why was I so nervous?"
