First date (1) ishman

First date...

The dim glow of the beside lamp cast a warm, intimate hue across the room, creating a cozy atmosphere. The hum of the city outside and the distant sounds of the night provided the perfect backdrop for what could become a moment etched in the memories of both bestfriends.

Shubman, feeling a flutter of nerves mixed with excitement, couldn't wait any longer. The clock ticked away, signaling a late hour when the world seemed to quiet down, leaving just the two of them in a room filled with unspoken possibilities.

Ishan, engrossed in scrolling through his phone, was blissfully unaware of the brewing moment. Shubman, summoning all the courage he could muster, rose his seat on the bed and approached Ishan from behind.

With a gentle touch, Shubman's hand found it's way to Ishan's waist, a bold move that made Ishan jump slightly in surprise. Shubman, not willing to let the moment slip away, pulled him closer, his lips near Ishan's ear.

"Ishu," Shubman whispered, his voice low and filled with love. "There's something I've been wanting to ask you."

Ishan ignoring all the goosebumps that rose due to the close proximity of them turned meeting Shubman's gaze and a blush crept up to his cheeks, his eyes filled with anticipation and a touch a shyness. "What is it?"

Shubman took a deep breath, his fingers tracing light patterns on Ishan's waist. "I was thinking... would you like to go out with me. It's ok if you don't want to, just a suggestion. Tomorrow,  just the two of us. No pressure, you can say no as well." Shubman rambled avoiding Ishan's eyes.

Ishan's heart skipped a beat and he smiled listening to Shubman's rambling. He lifed Shubman's chin and pressed his finger on his lips shushing Shubman down.
"Shub, look at me, I'd love to go on a date with you."

Shubman's face lit up with a radiant smile, and he couldn't resist leaning in, his lip brushing against Ishan's ear as he whispered, "I can't wait to spend tomorrow with you ishu, just us, away from everything else."

Ishan couldn't mutter any words, just nodded and pulled Shubman close and hugged him.

The next morning

The first light of dawn gently seeped into the room, casting a soft glow on the sleeping figure of Ishan. Shubman, who had woken up early with a heart full of excitement, couldn't help but marvel at the peaceful sight before him. Ishan lay curled up, completely unaware of Shubman's presence.

A soft chuckle escaped Shubman as he watched Ishan sleep, the tender moment tugging at his heartstrings. The realization hit him- he was already head over heels in love with this man beside him.

Not wanting to disturb Ishan's peaceful slumber, Shubman silently got out of bed, careful not to make a sound.

After a refreshing shower, Shubman decided to leave Ishan a message. He took out his phone and sent a text, "Can't wait for today, ishu. Down at the breakfast table, come soon ❤.

Shubman's heart raced with anticipation as he made his way to the dining area. The team was slowly trickling in for breakfast, and Shubman couldn't contain his giddiness.

Virat Kohli, ever observant, noticed Shubman's joyful demeanor. "Hey, Shub, kya hua? itna khush lag raha hai subah subah." Virat inquired with a teasing smile.

Shubman, trying to keep his excitement under wraps, simply replied, "Oh, kuch nahi bhai, just looking forward to the day."

Rohit Sharma, catching the exchange, joined the conversation with a knowing grin. "Vi, gadhe dekh nahi sakta? Ladke ko pyaar hua hai!"

Virat raised an eyebrow, mischievously. "Pyaar? Hmmmm, wonder who is he in love with? Hmmmmmmmm"

Shubman blushed, the telltale signs of secret revealed. "Nahi bhai aisa kuch nahi hai" he replied but his smile giving away everything he was hiding.

Rohit laughed, clapping Shubman on the back. "Jhoota kahi ka, chal mat bata but hame toh pata hai tujhe kisse pyaar hogaya hai."

As Rohit and Virat were continuing pulling Shubman's leg, Ishan, still unaware of Shubman's early wake-up, finally stirred awake. He reached for his phone, his heart skipping a beat when he saw Shubman's message. A blush crept onto his cheeks as he muttered to himself,  "God, I'm so in love with him."

After a quick shower, Ishan made his way down to breakfast. The sight that greeted him left him breathless- Shubman, with damp hair and a radiant smile, engrossed in conversation with Jaddu.

Ishan couldn't tear his eyes away. He found himself lost in thoughts about how Shubman's eyes lit up when he laughed,  how every line on his face told a story of joy, and how desperately he wanted to kiss him in that very moment.

Lost in his daydream, Ishan was jolted back to reality when harry cleared his throat and said, "Stop staring at your lover, idiot! Go and eat breakfast."

Ishan, flustered and blushing, retorted, "He's not my lover!"

Rishu, joining in the banter, chimed in, "Ofcourse, he's not your lover. He's your soulmate."

Harry and Rishu burst into laughter, leaving Ishan all alone with beet-red face. Across the room, Shubman looked up from his conversation, catching Ishan's eye.

The two shared a moment, their gaze locking, and smiles breaking across their faces. Time seemed to stop and both of them were adoring each other with eyes filled of love and just love.

The entire team, having witnessed the exchange, exchanged knowing looks. It was clear that love had founds its way into the hearts of their Shub and Ishu. The shared glances, the smiles, and the unspoken connection were enough for the team to recognize that something beautiful was blossoming between the two bestfriends.

As Shubman and Ishan finally approached each other, the air between them buzzed with shared excitement.

Shubman unable to contain his happiness, flashed a warm smile as Isha  joined him at the table. "Good morning, Ishu", he greeted, his eyes sparkling with affection.

Ishan, feeling a rush of warmth in Shubman's presence, returned the smile. "Good morning, Shub."

The two bestfriends soon to be lovers settled into their seats, their eyes locked in a dance of shared joy and anticipation. Shubman couldn't resist reaching beside the table to brush a strand of hair from Ishan's face, his touch gentle and filled with unspoken tenderness.

"Missed you, Ishu," Shubman said slyly, a playful glint in his eye.

Ishan's cheeks tinged with a blush, and he playfully swatted Shubman's arm. "Chup kar Shub, itna cheesy kabse hogaya tu?"

Shubman chuckled, leaning in a little closer. "Can't help it. I just missed my Ishu."

Ishan's blush deepened at the endearing term, and he huffed in mock annoyance. "Shut up, shub."

Undeterred, Shubman continued with a teasing grin. "Or what? You're going to make me?"

In response, Ishan scooted his chair closer, their hands nearly touching. "Maybe I will," he said with a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

Their hands finally met on the table, fingers intertwining in a silent promise. The world around them seemed to fade away as they shared a moment of true happiness, the simple act of holding hands conveying more than words ever could.

As the team members engaged in their own conversations, Virat couldn't help but smile at the sight of young couple lost in their own world. He leaned over to Rohit and whispered, "Ro, looks like we have a love story in the making."

Rohit nodded, a twinkle in his eye. "Young love, Vi. It's a beautiful thing."
