Epiphany

Camp And Creep

"You sure you are not hungry anymore, baby ko?" Mitansh looks at Aakrith in concern.

Aakrith groans, pushing the plate away. "Yes, bhai. I have never had such a huge breakfast. I don't think I can eat lunch now."

"There's no way you are skipping lunch, baby ko. You really need to eat more." Mitansh insists, the worry in his voice clearly visible. 

"I can't move." Aakrith complains, slumping back in his seat, fully stuffed with food.

Aakrith has been mistaken to assume that Mitansh has changed. If anything, his brother has become even more protective.

During the whole time, Mitansh subtly kept glancing at Aakrith's plate, watching the food in his plate, making sure Aakrith eats everything.

"Baba!" Aakrith whines, dropping his head on Kabir's shoulder. "I don't think I can start training today. Can you please cancel the training?"

After their first mission fiasco, Kabir decided to add a training weekly schedule for Falcon, with him. The boy was good at aiming shots, no doubt. But he lacks precision which Kabir wants Aakrith to work on.

"And how do you know about this, Aakrith? It was between me and Utkarsh only." Kabir questions him, making Aakrith sit up straight.

"Umm, I might have gone through your phone?" Aakrith confesses, looking everywhere but Kabir.

Aakrith quickly runs and hides behind Mitansh when Kabir glares at him. Hugging Mitansh from behind, Aakrith smiles, finally his savior is here.

"Bhaiya, why are you scolding him?" Mitansh narrows his eyes at Kabir, shielding Aakrith with his one arm.

"Because, your baby ko might have hacked my phone to open it." Kabir explains.

"No, I didn't hack it. I saw your password when you opened your phone yesterday." Says a muffled voice from Mitansh's back.

"Now, it's not his fault that he remembers it just by looking at it once." Mitansh defends his brother.

Shaking his head, Kabir reaches out for his phone and changes his password, making sure Aakrith doesn't look at it this time.

"So, can you cancel the training, please?" Aakrith asks again. Today he is just not in the mood of training. All he wants to do is spend the day with his brothers.

Sighing, Kabir puts his phone down. "Your training is not even scheduled today. It will start from next week. Besides, today we both are taking a day off."

Aakrith tilts his head and peeks out from Mitansh's back. "Really?" He asks with a surprised grin.

"Yeah. I figured you would like to spend the time here." Kabir says, smiling at his brother. "So, what do you wanna do today? You decide." 

"Can we go ride a bicycle?" Aakrith asks him, bouncing on his feet. Vatsal subtly slides the chair towards him, so that Aakrith doesn't accidentally hurt his feet.

The three brothers are used to looking out for Aakrith as their little brother has always been clumsy.

"At the river side resort?" Kabir asks, to which Aakrith nods his head eagerly.

"I'll get the car ready." Vatsal announces, rising up from his seat. The resort is their favorite place to hangout. They always ride bicycles at the riverside and stay the night at the resort rooms.

"Can I drive?" Aakrith asks Kabir, shocking the brothers.

"You can drive?" Mitansh interjects, surprised that his little brother can drive now. He wants to ask who taught him but he knows Aakrith won't reply.
