Be Without You

Unaware

Another Person's POV

"That seems too small for me..."

Ishan replies while working on the documents he needs to send back to London.

"I will try to make another one..."

Shubman said while trying to make another flower crown for his Rajkumar. Ishan put down the paper and turned to his lover.

Shubman looked so gentle while slowly plucking the small flowers and bending them with each other. Ishan gave his all attention to him. He was sitting quietly on the fresh grass of the garden.

"Did I ever tell you why I love you...?"

Shubman looked at him and shook his head. Ishan smiled and brushed Shubman's hair gently and then pulled his chin while brushing his finger around his lips.

"You look so innocent when you do something....you feel so genuine when you call my name...I feel loved in your embrace...I feel enough when I'm with you..."

Shubman smiled and held Ishan's to snuggle his face in his hand like a lost puppy who found his home.

"If you ask then I don't know the reason, Rajkumar. My love for you won't be real if I have reason to love you...I just love you...."

Ishan smiled and bent down to peck his cheeks. Shubman blushed and looked away.

Soon they both get back to what they were doing. Ishan signed the document when he felt something rested in his hand. He touched and felt the fragile flower sitting elegantly in his head.

"Am I pretty...?"

Ishan teases his lover with his doe eyes. Shubman brushes Ishan's bangs and presses his lips against him in reply.

"More prettier than the first rays of sunlight fall in the earth...."

Ishan chuckled and slapped him lightly. It feels so surreal how they become so close after confessing their feeling to each other. He feels so happy every second. His morning starts with his lover's smile and ends with his lover's warmth.

"Now you are making me think about marrying you...."

Ishan chuckles. Shubman eyes sparkle just the thought of Ishan sitting beside them in the temple where they'll get bonded for eternity.

"then let's get married..."

Ishan was kinda surprised when Shubman said those words so sincerely. He knew they loved each other but marriage was impossible for them.

"Can we...?"

Shubman asked with hope. Ishan smiled and cupped his face with his hand. He caressed those dimples.

"Are you sure...Shubhi...?"

"More than anything...Rajkumar..!"

Shubman replied without sparing a single thought. Ishan felt so lucky to be loved by this fool. He felt the crown of being Shubman's Rajkumar was more precious than the actual crown he was born with.

"Then we will after I come back from London..."

Shubman pouts after hearing that. Ishan will be there for a whole month. They could only talk through letters. He doesn't want to let Ishan go anywhere without him.

"But..."

"I promise, we'll marry..."

Ishan's voice made his heart calm. The uncertain thoughts were buried with just one promise from his lover.
