After the karaoke session in the bus, everyone was tired.
The team members retired to their rooms at around 12am after all the "congratulations", " best of luck"-s and facetime with their families.
Shubman and Ishan, as usual, were roommates.
After a cold shower, Shubman was sitting on the bed while reflecting on the happenings of the eventful day...
"great day it was! Ishu's hug was so comforting...and yeah, Sara came to meet me as well"
The sound of the bathroom door opening brought Shubman out of his thoughts.
Ishan came out of the door. His hair was still wet. Droplets of water were all over his body.
why did Shubman have a sudden urge of licking those droplets?
Ishan's biceps were showing. His beard was looking better somehow.
Shubman wanted to capture this moment in his head. He wanted to always live in this moment.
"Like what you see?" Ishan joked.
"I think you look rather weird, idiot! Save these cheesy lines for Aditi"
Shubman said, trying not to look at Ishan's biceps.
Few minutes later, Shubman and Ishan were in the bed, cuddling with one another( in a platonic way obv)
Ishan fell asleep within a few minutes...Shubman on the other hand, couldn't sleep at all.
Whenever he would close his eyes, Ishan would appear...with his wet hair and visible biceps.
Why did he never realise that his bestfriend was this hot?
"what am I thinking?! eww." Shubman thought to himself.
He looked at Ishan.
How can someone look so good while sleeping?
Ishan's hair was falling all over his face ,making him look like the cutest person on Earth.
Damn.
Shubman wanted Ishan to realise how important he was to Shubman.
He hoped Ishan didn't think that he is less important than Sara.
Shubman would ditch anyone, even Sara, for Ishan without any second thought.
"hey, Ishh!"
"what?" Ishan said, still half asleep.
"Arrey wake naa!" Shubman shouted in his ear.
Ishan woke up with a start at this. He was about to curse at Shubman, but he stopped seeing the look on Shubman's face.
Shubman was looking at him very strangely.
"hey, are you okay?"
Shubman seemed to pause a little before speaking.
"You're my best friend, Ishan. My best friend in this whole world." he finally blurted out.
"You seriously just woke me up at 3am to say this?"
"I think I did" Shubman said, while making a puppy face.
"oh god, you really need therapy."
"what if you're my therapy, Ish?"
"Where are you getting these cringe pick-up lines from?" Ishan said, although he was liking the attention.
Shubman suddenly pulled Ishan close to him and hugged him even tighter.
Ishan, who was familiar with this behavior, didn't complain at all.
Strangely, Shubman now slept instantly in the presence of Ishan's warmth.
"You can see it with the lights out,
You are in love,
True love."
