Cigarette under moonlight (bxb)

"Aarav"

I looked at where the voice came from and my heart skipped a beat as soon as I saw the person.

"Nikum, hi" I tried my best to sound normal as I was dying inside.

He was sitting on a chair looking ethereal, I couldn't see him properly but his hair was messy which made him look quite adorable. He was wearing a pink hoodie and pulled it off! Suddenly he took his left hand near his mouth and sucked it? I think he had something in his hand.

Is that smoke? I thought, Wait! Is he smoking? Is that a cigarette?

"Is that a cigarette?" I asked him and he looked at me, he got up from his chair and came near the railing, now I could see him properly and god he looked so cute in that hoodie! My heart couldn't handle that much. I told myself to calm down.

"Yeah, whenever I'm stressed I smoke" he took a long puff and then exhaled slowly, I just looked at him not knowing what to say. But I had to say something otherwise he'll go back and I don't want that.

"Cool cool cool," I said and gave him a thumbs up and I regretted that immediately. I don't know why I did that but I didn't know what else to do. I don't know why I acted that way and felt so nervous.

He laughed at my stupidity and put that cigarette in something, I'm guessing that it was an ashtray.

"So," I said, "do you drink too?"

"Yeah but occasionally"

"Oh, do you do weed?"

"No," he said instantly and looked kinda shocked.

"Hash?"

"No"

"Cocaine?"

"Gosh, no! Do you think I'm some addict only because I smoke?"

"No no no, I didn't mean it in that way" he looked quite angry, I wanted to make a good impression but I ruined it, "I'm so sorry, I don't know why I asked any of that. I'm so sorry if I offended you I swear I didn't mean it I'm so sorry I just wanted to talk to you, I'm dumb so dumb, I'm sorry-"

"Aarav! It's fine, come on look at me, yeah now breathe, good good, sit down for a while"

I sat down on the floor, I was panicking. I put my hands off my face and tried to calm down, my palm was sweaty and my heart was beating fast, I couldn't breathe properly. I tried to breathe by counting but it wasn't working. I don't know I was panicking it was such a small thing.

"I should go," I said and lay down.

"You said something?" Nikum asked.

"I should go," I said a little louder, "and I'm sorry for what I said"

"No please don't apologise it was nothing, and sleep well babe, I'll see you tomorrow"

I wished him good night and went inside, I looked at Nick who was still fast asleep, I lay down beside him and closed my eyes.

I sat up suddenly and screamed. Nick woke up and started saying who he had to kill, I stopped screaming and started sobbing and nick was so confused that he gave me a pillow to wipe my face I threw that at him and he put that pillow on my face and told me to shut up before he kills me.

"What the hell Aarav!" He sat up and took the water bottle and drank from it then took his phone to see the time which showed 3:32 I glared at him for waking him up at this hour and then hit me with the bottle.

"He called me babe! BABE! CAN YOU JUST- DO YOU NOT SEE THAT MY HEART-"

"If you will not stop screaming I will tell your mom that it was you who broke her handmade pot" he stressed at handmade and I gave a loud gasp. I got silent and tried to calm my racing heart and my imaginary mind. My heart was telling me not to think too much and it was too soon but my mind was showing me different scenarios of us getting married.

"Okay, so I met this really hot boy-"

"Thanks"

I ignored him, "and I was just talking to him and he called me babe, you see BABE, oh my god kill me already!" I wanted to just cry.

"You met a boy who called you babe and that was not me, okay I don't get it, elaborate on that please"

So I told him, I told him how I met him and how I thought he was a ghost who was playing Despacito to which nick asked what's Despacito and I told him it's a famous song and he said he only listens to the divine and I ignored him and continued my story, by the end of it nick was a laughing mess.

"I can't believe that you asked him about drugs! No one does that"

"I was panicked! And how he hates me"

"He does not hate you Rav, I mean he probably thinks that you are stupid and that's fine-"

"You ass! Are you trying to comfort me or insult me anyways he called me babe! Kanishk, am I special to him? God, I'm already special to him! Life is- wait what if he calls everyone that? Maybe he calls it to everyone, I'm no- nothing to him, but then again I just met him but still wh-"

"Aarav I'm sleepy so how about we spiral
in the morning and now we sleep, a nice idea right, thank you! Now good night!"

And before I could speak he lied down now what should I do? Yeah, I should sleep.

God, why is life so weird?
