Just Friends?

Right.

"Can I finally have my shirt back?"

"No".

"You didn't even ask which one I'm talking about!".

"Don't care. I'm not returning any of them. Those now belong to me".

Shubman immediately received a pillow to the face. He didn't care. He loved Ishan's shirts. They were comfortable. They felt like a warm hug each time he wore them. He wasn't gonna tell this to Ishan though.

In response he threw a pillow back which Ishan didn't even bother dodging.

"Fine. Atleast help me pack up, the room is an absolute mess."

Despite his words, Ishan didn't actually mind shubman stealing his shirts. He liked the way they looked on the taller one's body.

"But why? We don't leave until the next evening!"

"Unlike someone here, I do not like leaving things to the last minute."

Shubh let out a sigh. He knew he was never gonna win an argument with Ishan. He still loved arguing. Might as well use this opportunity to pack his bags too.

They were in their shared hotel room, scrolling through Instagram reels, waiting for dinner time.

Shubh reluctantly got up and made his way to the closet. Ishan was right. It was an absolute mess. He immediately gave up.

"I can't. Need the last minute motivation to get it done."

Ishan let out a laugh.
"Knew it."

"Let's leave it na we have an entire day to get this done. Won't take more than 10 mins"

Ishan rolled his eyes and lightly smacked shubh. Shubh tackled him by the waist which somehow led to them wrestling on the floor.

"Get off!! You're too heavy." Ishan laughed while attempting to kick shubman off him.
The latter just grabbed his hands by the wrists and pinned them to his sides.
"You're the one who started this" shubman grinned above Ishan.

Click.

Right. The door was unlocked.
Shreyas just stood there taking the scene in. They weren't exactly in a flattering position.

"Right."
The entire team was too used to their antics to even act surprised . Shreyas just rolled his eyes and let out an exasperated laugh.

"Rohit bhai's asked everyone to be down in 10 mins" and then with a teasing voice " please finish whatever you started, shouldn't take more than 5 if you're quick about it" he added with a wink.

"Wha-"
Before Ishan could reply, shreyas dashed out the room , shutting the door behind him.

Ishan looked up to Shubman, to see him slightly flustered. This made Ishan giggle. Shubman finally eased his grip on Ishan and helped him up.

"I'm going to kill shrey bhai" Shubman sighed.

"Why? You seemed to be enjoying yourself" Ishan teased.

"Oh yeah that I was" shubh added with a grin.

Ishan let out a sound which was somewhere between a sigh and laugh.
"Let's put the 10 mins to use and actually pack up"

Shubman having accepted his fate, gave up protesting.

As he packed, he mentally cursed himself. What was he flustered for? Not the first time he's tackled Ishan. What's changed?

Ishan on the other hand gave this no second thought. He knew Shubman was always touchy. He was used to it. He knew Shubman loved teasing him. He was so used to physical affection that he missed it at times they were apart. He wouldn't let Shubman know this though.

10 minutes and a clean room later they were ready to head downstairs.
Ishan always to gloat said "Told you it will be easier cleaning rn."

Shubman just laughed and ruffled Ishan's messy and fluffy hair.
"You're always right love."

Ishan smiled, took shubman's hand in his and made his way out the door.
