A/N: So the past 2 one shots were kind of depressing ones, so back to cringey-funny ones, @studious_species requested this OS. Timeline? The RCB vs SRH match, but with a slight twist with AB being there with them for their last two matches of league stage, cause anyway he had to go join the other commentators for the playoffs. Anywho....Can we talk about the way Virat's always always the first to hug Siraj after a wicket. It's like a rule, nobody hugs Siraj till Virat hugs him.
Siraj always dreamt of making it big in the cricketing world, buying a huge house for himself and his family, and his dream came true. He was representing India at the highest level and he was happy he was having a terrific season in IPL too. For their second must win game, they were playing against Hyderabad in Hyderabad and he was excited to show all his teammates his new house which had been in the works for almost an year.
Waiting to break the news to his teammates, he sat in the team room fidgeting with his cutlery as Vi and Maxi were being their usual rowdy selves with AB and Faf trying to be the sane older brothers. Now Miyaan knew his Virat bhaiyaa had a stiff back this morning, he had heard the loud shouts of Faf, AB and Maxi last night all three yelling at Virat for sneaking out and hitting the nets well after their practice session had gotten over. But he'd be fine by tomorrow right? He cleared his throat to get their attention but Maxi and Virat had now moved onto smushing each others faces into the table with the other hooligans screaming and chanting "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT"
AB looked so done with those two clowns, he looked across and saw Siraj's expression, clocking onto the fact he looked like he wanted to say something, he whistled loudly,
"BOYS! Siraj's got something to tell us. Go on Miyaan. They'll behave."
Virat and Maxi looked at Siraj caught mid scuffle with Maxi's knuckles pressing into Virat's scalp and Virat's hand pushing Maxi's face away, they looked quite a comedic pair especially with their doe eyed looks directed at Faf and AB. Faf was holding his hand over his mouth and the other holding a phone recording this. Carefully untangling themselves not without shoving each other for good measure, they looked at Siraj,
"Will you all come to my new house for dinner tomorrow? I would really like it if you all came over....."
Listening to the insecure hesitation all the boys jumped in loudly assuring Siraj they'd be there, Maxi trying to one up Virat's big big brother tone, "Sure Siri, I'll be there. No matter what. Anything for you." Josh snorted at the over endearing tone,
"Wait till Zamps hears how you've replaced him. This goes to you to Virat."
"Dude NO! AB! Do something!"
"NO! Biscuit! Do something!"
They whined together. Faf was having fun recording all this. Oh he was so going to spam Jaddu and Rutu with these videos, they'll show it to MS too.
Amidst all this chaos Siraj felt so grateful for being a part of this team, a team which more than just that, it was a family. He was happy that Faf coming into the team the last year saw the team getting even more closer, Virat bhaiyaa always made sure the team atmosphere was light and fun, but they had stopped celebrating victories wildly (after their playoffs party of 2020(Virat's birthday on the yacht), the pre-planned 2016 finals party) it was like the team just lost interest in celebrating wins, and then AB sir had left, Virat was in a bad space, so many people had been released, nothing was the same but Faf really fixed it all up, his big brother started to smile more, he looked comfortable, Maxi and Faf had rarely left his side every time Virat would retreat into his own mind. Now, everything was fine, they had a chance to qualify too, so it only seemed like the best time to go cool off and just spend a day together, all of them.
