I don't want to let you go like this

I suggest you guys to not read something in italics. I don't know if it's trigger-able or not but still it's little inappropriate.

Aakash took the phone with shaking hands, the cool sweat was forming on his forehead. He badly needed someone and ray was the best person but will he able to reach out to him?

He looked at his number and after lots of thinking he finally dialled it. He was not crying anymore, was just numb with the pain.. the call rung and aakash heart raced, he was calling ray after seven years. After seven years he was finally willing to approach him, tell him his miseries but some insecurity wa-

He was startled out of thoughts when Ray's voice come through.

" hello?"

Aakash stood there still, he really dialled his number. His voice was enough for him but he wanted to run to him and hug him to get the comfort. No.... he wanted him to run at him and hug him and tell everything was alright. Aakash shook the feelings" ray...."

Ray tensed, he was not getting good vibes" aakash sab thik hai na?"

Aakash shook his head, ray sighed and tried again" aakash kuch bol, sab thik hai na?"

He sighed and his voice broke off" ray... I want to-"

Aakash stopped himself, Ray tensed, he was getting the idea moreover his broken voice was making him restless" aakash, tu ruk mai abhi aa raha hu. Don't cut the phone and talk to me. Okay?"

Aakash shook his head, he was feeling numb not weak, only two things could help him and he knew both of them" meet me at the beach."

He said and cut the call, ray looked at the number tensed. He dialled again and again but aakash was not picking up. He ran as fast as he could, Kunal come out of his room but looked at him shocked, the boy was running like maniac. He called him and ray looked back.

Ray gave a pleading look, he wanted to run but he couldn't ignore his bhaiyu.

Kunal come close to him" kyu dor raha hai aise, kaha jana hai? Wo bhi itni raat ko"

Ray said in hurry" bhaiyu, wo aaki. Wo use."

Kunal saw the desperation in his eyes and sighed. He looked at the boy, the outfit was just not pleasurable. He went inside and come out with jacket and gave him that with car keys" you were not going to run, were you?"

Ray looked away while he made him wear it, he would've run for sure. Kunal patted his shoulder" jaa, mai Bhaiya ko sambhal lunga."

Ray slightly hugged him and ran away from there. Kunal looked at his retreating back and sighed, both of them were hopeless, he was worried but ray was the best person at that time.

Aakash looked at the strong waves, they were indeed calming and aakash felt like crying but he just couldn't. He was restless for two weeks and he badly needed to cry, but it was not coming out of his system.

Ray reached there and saw aakash standing near waves. He called out for him and aakash instantly looked at him.. till now the boy needed to cry and now his eyes filled up. He felt his eyes watering.

Aakash subconscious mind started to take slow steps towards aakash. Ray looked at the boy, he looked vulnerable and without any second thought he ran towards him. Aakash opened his arms wanted that hug, the lone tear escaping his eyes made it more worse for ray. He ran and hugged him tightly, bringing him more closer to his heart. Aakash hide his face in his chest while a heart-wrenching sob left from his mouth, ray just brought him more closer, he could feel how hurt the boy was.
