🔞Coach's Lover [Coach Shubman]

"Ishan, our team is fighting to qualify for the final round of the cup!" Shubman began in his coach's voice.

"I know..." Ishan started, but Shubman  cut him off.

"No, you don't know! If you knew, you wouldn't have abandoned the team to go I-don't-know-where with Hardik!"

"What?" Ishan asked in shock as he starts to walk up to his coach. "I abandoned you for Hardik, you think?"

"Ishan, don't play games with me. You leave the team high and dry before a match and you come back two days later and act as if nothing has happened? That's inexcusable!"

"That's not true...Coach! I left barely two hours ago and...and I was feeling sick I swear! I left the stadium but I don't remember what happened after that." Shubman frowned as he studied the teen in front of him. He looked nervous and slightly scared.

"Alright, I believe you. They must've erased your memory. Alcohol sometimes does that to humans," Shubman  replied, his voice starting to become calm again, sarcasm in it.

Ishan flopped down on the comfortable-looking chair in the room,suddenly feeling exhausted. He felt awful. He hated to see the older man upset. Ever since the day he first met the man, he's been confused with his feelings. He thought he had a crush on Aditi, but since Mayank kinda stole her away, he had shifted his feelings for the older man, instead. In all the pre cricket match routines, his eyes only rested on the elder coach, he couldn't grasp how gorgeous he was.

"...it still doesn't matter, Ishan. In this state of the game, the team comes before everything else," Shubman  said, as he leaned over the young teen and snapped him out of his thoughts.

"I have to be able to count on you, as much as the others. The ball's in your court, Ishan, you have to open with Rohit tomorrow. Don't let me down," Shubman  finished in a stern voice. Ishan averted his gaze.

"I understand, sir. No problem."

Shubman  softened his attitude towards the kid. He hated being stern towards him, but he had to make Ishan understand that he wanted to keep him safe. Before his sudden disappearance, he's noticed that Ishan's been stealing looks at him; which was odd, because he knew that the kid had a crush on his childhood best friend Aditi, as he would be loud about it. Although, now that he thought about it, and before he left, he and Mayank had a falling out and he wondered why.

"Look, Ishan, I don't mean to be hard on you, but I was worried about you when you left. I don't know if you're aware, but you are the youngest one on the team. I'm also responsible for your well-being. I know you don't remember that you left, but did something happen between you and Mayank?"

"Yeah, 'Mayank and I were arguing about a girl. And, although my memory's been wiped, I do remember that I missed you. I wasn't confident in myself. You keep me grounded, sir. I was only saying how much I had a crush on Aditi just to keep the guys off my back. I actually don't like girls and she wasn't my type. She could go fuck Mayank for all I care," Ishan explained truthfully. Shubman  raised his eyebrow and bopped Ishan on the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" Ishan yelped as he covered his head.

"No foul language in my presence ,Ishan..." Shubman  scolded, but then smirked and leaned in even closer to the boy. Ishan could feel a blush forming on his cheeks and he tried to avoid the man's sharp gaze, but Shubman  wouldn't let him. Using his thumb and fore-finger, he forced the boy to look him in the eyes. His smile grew wider seeing the truth in the boy's eyes. So he was right. The boy did want him.

Leaning in closer, Shubman  brought his lips to caress over Ishan's. The teen froze, and all thoughts of escape flew out the window as the coach started to nibble on his lower lip insistently. When Shubman  pulled away slightly, he smirked when he saw the dazed look on Ishan's face. He leaned in again, this time with his lips ghosting over his player's ear.
