Even If The World Was Ending

11. Hide and Seek

Ishan's Pov: (Suprise!!😉)

My heart started to beat at abnormal speed hearing Shubman's confession.

Oh how much I was dying to hear those words since few months.

A sense of relief and serene washed over me. A feeling of protectiveness and obvious possessiveness now stood at my doorstep, knocking the door, more like threatening to enter through it anytime.

But just now, the things had started to turn out to be good. I didn't want to scare Shubi from my wild behaviour.

"Shubi.. only if you knew how much those words mean to me baby.. you've made me the happiest person on this planet... no no !! In the universe, today!" I said and pulled his cheek and pecked it, making a sound

And oh, those giggles that erupted from Shubman was definitely worth it. How can one not fall in love with that dimpled smile and that personality. No doubt, that Shubman was popular among the girls.

But to their dismay, this chocolate boy is mine forever, till death will do us apart, so sorry boys and girls.

Shubman snapped his fingers in front of me and brought me back to my senses. He raised his eyebrow and I just smiled at him.

"Kya hua? Kidhar khoya tha?" Shubman asked me as we both sat on the bed.

"Tere pyaar mein.. aur kidhar" I winked at him. Quite satisfied with the blush on his face.

"Saale kitna cringe hai tu..shii" Shubman said and he tried to leave the bed. I caught his hand in mine and kissed it lightly

"Jo bhi hu.. bas abb tera hi hoon Shubi" though I meant to make the convo flirty, I meant it with all seriousness.

He walked towards, and sat beside me. He touched my cheek gently with his long and slender fingers. How can a person's touch be so cold yet so comforting.. I'll never understand.

"Even I'm yours Ishu...always...But..." He paused and looked down.

My heart clenched at that sight.. "B-but..?" I stuttered, scared for any rejection coming my way.

"But Ishu, I'm scared. What this means about us? What about the team? Our family? The fans and the country?... How are we going to come out to them?And till we both are ready and confident enough, I would like us to.. I would like us to keep whatever that's going on between us, as a secret. Will that do?" Shubi asked.

I sighed in relief. Gave it a thought. It was really sensible decision. Because as much as life seems like a bed of roses, there are thorns that may prick. In our relationship, those thorns were the societal norms and pressure.

I smiled it him, gave him a nod. He smiled back and this time he pulled me in soft kiss.

I deepened the kiss, because I could not get enough of his soft lips. Rhythmically and at a slow pace, the kiss was turning more into a full blown make out. And suddenly Shubman did something unexpecting.

He climbed over me by wrapping his legs around my waist. My eyes widened  at the his boldness. We broke the kiss, started breathing heavily.

"Baby.." before I could complete Shubi put his hand under my t-shirt. I shivered at the cold contact of his hands. "This needs to go off" Shubi whispered huskily as he brought his lips lightly towards my right ear. He then kissed me softly over there, and it wasn't helping my turn on.

He removed my t-shirt in one go and soon we both started kissing frantically.  He gave me a light push and soon I fell on the bed lightly.

Shubman was between my legs. Our groins rubbing against each other through the denim shorts. I groaned at the teasing sensation.. wanting nothing more 'nothing' between us.
