This is based off of Shawn Mendes's song "Why" do give it a listen. It sounds like I'm promoting his song on here lol.

WHY 

I know a girl, she's like a curse. We want each other, no one will break first.

Ankit reaches out to hug Priyanka another morning in Bigg Boss. He feels her relax into his touch, rest her head against his chest. They had grown so comfortable in the couple of months that without a morning hug, the day did not feel complete.

When Priyanka starts to move, Ankit pulls back and looks at her bare morning face. In his eyes, she still looks beautiful. Oh, and of course, so darn cute.

Priyanka eyes the fluff on Ankit's hair and itches to fix it. She holds onto his sweater instead and lazily wobbles with Ankit around the area. He has an arm around her waist. He's such a gentle giant and he is so adorable. Forever doesn't sound so bad, but maybe not.

So many nights, trying to find someone new. They don't mean nothing compared to her, and I know

Ankit walks around trying to talk to some of the housemates. He makes casual conversations with most but deep down inside, he doesn't feel the same way he feels with Priyanka and he knows that. They don't make him smile like she does. He can't laugh openly unless it's with her. She listens to his concerns and makes all the bad things go away.

She stands up for him like a soldier and makes him feel assured that she will be there. It is only natural since the house is designed in a way that there are people you can't click with nor trust. His introverted nature doesn't help either. He is quite perceptive about everyone's movements and the minute he feels like someone isn't good enough to be around, he feels repulsed to be around them.

Despite Priyanka having her own flaws, he finds himself drawn to her.

When people ask about us, now, we just brush it off. I don't know why we act like it means nothing at all. I wish I could tell you that you're all that I want, yeah

Vikkas looks at the two of them playfully fighting. "Suppose she were to get married and you were invited to her wedding, what would you do?"

Ankit gulps at the thought and Priyanka grows silent in thought.

"He would come to the wedding, right?" Priyanka gives him a bright smile but there's a hint of sadness in it and Ankit sees through it all.

"Of course. I wouldn't miss it" That was really hard to say. After all the times he tried to express himself, they are still stuck on square one and he doesn't know what else he should do to at least prove that he is genuine about his feelings. He doesn't care what the world thinks. All he knows is that he likes her then, right now and in the present, possibly the future.

Vikkas nods, "So you'd be okay with it?" He indicates towards Priyanka and her imaginary lover. Ankit feels his throat tighten and he takes a sip from the water bottle and moves closer to Priyanka. Vikkas eyes his movements and makes a mental note about them.

"I'd be happy, if she was happy"

That was the fakest smile Ankit had given and it was so utterly cruel to him as the thoughts clouded his mind before he slept. He was stuck with the fear that one day she might leave and he might no longer be someone of importance to her.

I pretend that I'm not ready. Why do we put each other through hell? Why can't we just get over ourselves?

Ankit is asked another question about marriage. This is the fifth time this week. He really wants to tell Priyanka that he really does like her, that he is okay with another step but he can't bring himself to say it. He wishes that Priyanka was as bold as she was before on this topic and just had asked him out first.

This time his answer would be yes. But every time Priyanka acts like she knows him inside out but this topic, it haunts him. Why wouldn't she bring their feelings up? He has trouble bringing them up but why can't she?

One day in particular, Priyanka sits down with him. They ran out of topics to talk about the house so they lean towards themselves.

"What is the type of girl that you like?"

"Someone who is loyal to me, relies on me, accepts me and any flaws, someone who is like my best friend, someone I can be myself around, and someone who cares for both of us like no other" He internally kicks himself for the best friend part.

Priyanka hums. "You've been saying a lot of things"

"Like what?"

"Like that it's more than friendship, that there is liking"

"There is" He doesn't deny it now and he hopes that she doesn't either.

"You said it based off on my side as well"

"From my side there is liking"

Priyanka stares at the ceiling for a moment. She plays with the hairband on her wrist before looking at Ankit, "There's liking over here too"

Ankit feels relief pass through him. He knew she liked him but he wanted confirmation.

"We can talk about it later"

At least it will go somewhere. If it doesn't work out, they will talk about it too.
