Maybe!! Maybe Not?? (ishman/shubish)

chapter 20

"What are you doing?"

Ishan looked back to shubman standing by the door.

"Just looking at the sky" ishan says turning his head back.

"The sky is empty there's no moon tonight" shubman says coming behind him pulling him against his chest. "I was looking for you in rahul bhaiya's room when i woke up alone"

"Oh were you?" Ishan asked closing his eyes.

"You should've woken me up if you wanted to sleep in our room" shubman murmurs holding ishan for the warmth feeling the cold breeze hit his skin.

Ishan rubbed his fingers against the glass railing, he squhis eyes close, mind bothered again as mayank's words flow back into his ear from that call.

"So how was it?" Mayank speaks from the other side.

Ishan close the balcony door as silently as he can, it's still night everyone had fallen asleep an hour ago some on bed some on extra mattresses. He was laying on the mattress scrolling reels when mayank's call came.

"It was good" he let out a breath finally.

"Did he said it was a date?" Mayank asks getting a bit excited.

"Hah N-no" ishan lets out a dry chuckle.

"Did you said you wanted it to be a date?" Mayank questioned again.

"Well..." ishan sighs not knowing what to say.

"So you did not and he didn't either what are you doing ishan. Is this how you want it go? Make things clear yeah?" Mayank continues "when did it started?"

"When we were playing against Australia t20i in kerala" ishan whines.

"Ohh...i-i heard from abhishek he had a fight with sara before he flew to meet you did he tell you that?" Mayank asks with little concern in his voice.

"N-no I'm getting to know that from you" ishan whispers.

"He might have not come only for you....ishu just don't end up being a backup or a rebound"

"Ish?"

He blinked looking back to see shubman frowning at him "where are you lost? In stars?"

Ishan lightly takes shubman's hands and remove them from around his waist. He might have held onto shubman's hands longer than necessary.

Ishan can already picture the look of confusing and sadness on shubman's face.

He slowly turns around to face shubman. God should he really have the talk right now, he's second guessing himself.

"Why did you fought with sara? Is this the reason why you came to karala?" There he said it.

"W-what?" Shubman's voice is guff and shaky "what are you saying-"

ishan inhales sharply before saying "You're making it more difficult than it has to be just reply to my question simply"

Shubman's dosen't budge the silence follows.

"Alright then if you don't wanna answer that, answer this what are we shubman, what are we to you?" Ishan's voice is void of any emotions.

"We're...best friends" shubman says, voice not above a whisper.

"No" ishan shakes his head "best friends doesn't make out at any given moment, and you know how i feel for you"

"I saw the messages she's begging for you to come back, What are you gonna do now huh? Keep making out with your best friend or go back to her?" Ishan laughs humorlessly. The words feel and sound awkward coming out of his own mouth.
