Hue In My World (Indian BL)

12. A small getaway ft. A kiss🙈

On a lone street with breezy air, the soft golden rays of the evening sun fell on Dhiraj's eyes. He was relaxing looking at the sandy beach down the hill with the echoing waves. Today things were different. He was in the passenger seat, and it was Nakul driving. As decided the previous day, it was Nakul's treat. He felt it was his turn now to do something.

At first Nakul had no idea where he should take Dhiraj or even what they should do. What can I give the man who already has everything? The question taunted Nakul. Maybe a quiet getaway? Nakul questioned, remembering a distant place, that would just be perfect. Yes! For a man as busy as Dhiraj, that place is perfect!!!

And so it was decided that they will leave for the place in the late afternoon. This time Nakul had taken the reins in his hands, driving off to the place that was nearly 2 hours away. Dhiraj was reluctant to leave home under the burning sun, but since his baby had made plans and was also secretly excited for it, he gave it. And so he and Nakul set off in Nakul's small car for a place unknown to him.

An hour later, they were at the coastal strip. The turquoise blue waves crashed onto the rocks and Dhiraj couldn't help but ask himself when was the last time I went to a beach?

It was nearly 5 when Nakul stopped the car under palm trees near the beach that provided sufficient shade. The beach was mostly vacant. It was as if they had traveled to a far land no one had an idea about.

"Is this like a private beach? I didn't know a beach existed with no people roaming around" Dhiraj simply tried to quench his curiosity.

"This one is relatively unknown. Plus it is far away from the main road. And the road isn't that great either...."Nakul recalled their bumpy ride. "....My Jiju (sister's husband) brought us here once. Its......peaceful" Nakul stared at the vast ocean in front of him. The sun was nearing the horizon, ready to kiss the mighty ocean.

"I thought.....the sunset would look.....pretty good from here." Nakul expressed with longing eyes. His kind of long-awaited wish to see a sunset in colors finally came too. And Dhiraj just......understood that longing.

"Yeah...it is" a smile broke on his face as he saw Nakul filled with content. He was pleased that Nakul could cross off one more thing from his bucket list. And keeping in mind the fact that he was the reason Nakul could do this, nothing made him feel prouder. With that triumphant thought in mind, now was just his turn to enjoy the rewards.

"Let's go to the water" Dhiraj cried out loud, dragging Nakul along with him by his hand. Although taken aback at the with that casual touch Nakul let himself be swept off at Dhiraj's pace. They both started making their way towards the foamy waves.

Walking, running, laughing, sprinkling water on each other and then looking for shells.

"Don't do that!!!" Nakul somewhat squealed as Dhiraj made an attempt to sprinkle some water on him.

"Why? It's fun!!"

"I haven't bought clothes with me!! And I don't want to sit here all soaked"

"Well......you can just remove them all" The devil in Dhiraj's mind worked up a solution.

"Be naked and get arrested for exhibitionism?" retorted Nakul with an eyebrow arched. "No thanks"

"Come on.....people would love to see what's underneath all that" Dhiraj tried his luck once again, pointing at Nakul's clothes.

"I know....only you would want that....." remarked Nakul, well aware of Dhiraj's intentions. But........he wasn't grossed out. Even though he didn't want to acknowledge it, a part of him was pleased with the fact that a certain someone was trying so hard to court him. Maybe he just.....liked that attention.
