Shreya unlocks her room and enters. She notices Aarav lying on the bed, deep in thought. She walks over and sits beside him.

"What happened?" She asks, playing with his fingers. He smiles and lays on her lap.

"I'm just stressed, I guess" He replies, now playing with her strands of hair.

"Sleep or eat. I do those two when I'm stressed" She says, slowly. He first smirks at her, his mind going elsewhere then quickly shakes his head to clear his dirty-minded thoughts.

"What?" a frown takes over her features.

"Nothing" He replies with a wicked smile.

"Tell me" She insists, with a pout.

"I'm hungry" he smirks and she looks at him confused.

"Let me eat your lips" He adds and pulls her down with him. She blushes and hides her face in his chest.

"kiss me" He demands and closes his eyes. She leans towards him and pecks his cheek and grins at him.

"Ithu ennathu?" He deadpans

"Kiss" She replies, grinning.

"Na kettathu anga illaye" He says, gently pulling her face towards him.

"Eppo kettalum, inga kudukanum. Chumma antha peck la kidaiyathu" He explains and nibbles her lower lip and grabs her hair gently, kissing her on the lips. Butterflies erupting in her stomach. She opens her mouth, giving entrance to his tongue. Swirling his tongue inside her mouth, he rolls her on the bed, him on top of her. They breathlessly pull away from each other. He rests his forehead against hers, making her shut her eyes in shyness. Smiling at her, he kisses her eyes, making her eyes flutter open. He slowly moves to her nose, softly biting it. Leaving trails of kisses down her jaw, he moves to her neck. Her breath hitches and her hands grip the sheets tightly when his lips started to play with her neck. He bites her neck and sucks it softly, making her breath heavily. He then kisses her neck, meanwhile, she moans slowly in pleasure. The sound of her soft moan only wanted him to continue, but he didn't know if she wanted this. He slowly moved his lips from her neck and laid beside her, smiling.

He looks at her to see her still breathing heavily and her face becoming a hot oven. Taking her hands in his hands, he starts her fingers tenderly. She looks at him smiling, her face colored in blush.

"Aww you're so cute" he coos and pinches her cheeks. His compliments just made it worse for blush every time. She gives him a shy smile and slowly walks out of the room. He follows her behind and immediately curses under his breath when he realizes the hickey is visible. Shreya goes to the kitchen and sits on the counter, grabbing an apple. She starts to converse with mani, who was secretly hiding a smile.  Aarav tries to sit at the dining table causally. He sits exactly opposite to Shreya while she was enjoying eating an apple.

'Who likes eat to apples?' his conscience asks. He then remembers he has to let her know about the hickey. He looks around quickly and notices no one was around. He then stands up and waves at her secretly. She notices him waving, and asking her to do something else too. She couldn't quite figure what he was trying to convey with his sign language.

"Hey, Your brother is calling you" Shreya informs Mani. He internally cries for all the efforts he has put and she just made it worse. Mani smirks at him and turns to Shreya

"He is calling you thangam" Mani smiles at her sister-in-law. Shreya abruptly hops off the counter and walks to him, with the apple.

"Apple venuma?" she gestures to the Apple she was eating minutes ago. He glares at her.

"Ennachu? Apple pudikatha? Nan venumna orange eduthuttu varava?" She asks, ready to leave

"Ayyo, athellam venam ma. Itha first cover pannu" grabbing her hands from leaving, he says, looking at her hickey.

"oh shit" she curses under her breath and blushes in embarrassment.

Atharva sits on the couch, exhausted. He then notices Shreya, his face instantly lighting up with a smile. She laughs at the mess mani had created in the kitchen. After helping her out, she comes out of the kitchen and notices Atharva sitting all by himself. She sits exactly opposite to him and starts to mimic his actions. He runs his hands through his hair and she does the same. After confirming she is copying his actions, he laughs at her.

"Hello to you too," She says chirpily. It has been weeks since Atharva has laughed wholeheartedly.

"You looked upset and I thought I might as well accompany you" she explains and he nods in response.

"You don't talk?" her hand flies to her mouth, covering it with a gasp. He smiles at her

"I do" he replies with a small smile.

"Are you still sad?" she asks with a pout. He nods his head with a pout.

"Don't worry, I'll get you ice cream" She says and quickly runs to the fridge. Grabbing her ice cream and two spoons she slowly walks over to him, as if she is having a second thought.

'Do I really want to give him ice cream?' her mind asks.

'Don't even think about it. He needs the ice cream now' her conscience spoke.

"Here you go" She hands him a bowl of ice cream. He reluctantly takes it from her.

"Thank you, but I don't like ice cream" he confesses. Shreya drops her spoon on the ground dramatically, while clutching her heart.

"Who doesn't like ice cream?" She whisper yells, and grabs the bowl from his hands, already eating it while also trying to look dramatic.

Just to piss her off, he grabs the bowl from her and starts eating it, and moans slowly as if he is savoring the taste.

"See, no one hates Ice cream," She says, like a proud mother of ice cream

-----------

The days are coming closer to Shreya's birthday. She will be 27 day after tomorrow and Aarav can't wait to propose her. He has planned everything and is now waiting for the day.

He unlocks his bedroom and enters inside, exhausted. He notices Shreya standing on the balcony, looking up at the stars. He slowly tiptoes to her, in an attempt not to make any sound. 

"I know you're here," She says, still looking up at the stars. He sighs and walks and stands beside her.

"What are you doing?" He asks, looking up at the sky with her.

"Stargazing," she says in her duh tone. She then looks at him and notices his exhausted face.

"Are you tired?" she asks, sending him an apologetic smile.

"Minor headache. Nothing to worry about" he shrugs it off, smiling at her. She nods and looks up at the stars

"Aren't these the most beautiful thing?" She asks, looking at the stars.

"You're more beautiful" He replies looking at her. She tries her hardest not to blush at his compliments.
