Abhisha oneshots

Don't go

Manisha POV

''how was your date?'' Abhishek asked the second the door opened to their shared apartment. not that abhishek would ever admit it but it is currently 1:03am and he may or may not have stayed up to wait for her to return despite having a very exhausting day himself.

Mani:-''why are you still up? isn't it past your bed time?'' she asked as she removed her heels.

Abhi:- 'i couldn't sleep.' he simply said. ''so? how was it?''

Mani:-'it was alright i guess. it wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either.'' sighing, Manisha walked over to the kitchen and pulled out a bottle of water from the fridge before settling near the island of the kitchen.

truthfully, she didn't want to discuss the details with Abhishek. because aside from the fact that she is in love with her best friend, she is also going on a few dates with Karthik now to try and get over her best friend. Rohit had suggested setting her up with Karthik when she confided in him as he knew Karthik was interested in her. the only problem, however, is the fact that Abhishek seemed to not like Karthik. ever since the first time she went out with Karthik , Abhishek had no problem in letting her know how bad of an idea it was. saying Karthik was not her type, or that they both don't look good together; all these petty reasons that make no sense at all and Manisha was slowly getting annoyed.

Mani:-''are you hungry?'' she asked as she tried to change the topic.

Abhi:-''are you going to continue going out with him?''

Mani:-''should we order some pizza?''

Abhi:-''karthik isn't even your type, i don't know why him out of all people.''

Mani:-''or should we order some pasta if you're not feeling pizza?''

Abhi:-''manisha.''

Mani:-''or maybe i should cook us something? fried rice?''

Abhi:-''manisha can we please just talk about this?''

Mani:-''do we still have any rice left?''

Abhi:-''MANISHA PLEASE!''

''what Abhishek?'' she said back harshly. it isn't until now that she realise how frustrated she is. trying to move on from him is so hard when he is around her all the time. it makes it even harder when he keeps being harsh about her dates and points out why each one of them isn't suitable for her, and the worst part of it all is that she know he's right, all of it, there is no one who could ever come close to Abhishek.

Abhi:-''stop going out with Karthik! you don't even like him!''

Mani:-''and how do you know that? maybe i do like him! maybe i like him a lot!'' she wanted to scream and shout to get all her feelings out..but this isn't her first fight with Abhishek about Karthik or any other guy she've been on dates with and she was just so worn out by now.

Abhi:-''that's bullshit and you know it. Karthik literally checks none of the boxes for your list of traits for your type.''

Mani:-''i made that list 3 years ago! things change Abhishek! not all of us stay the same!''

its Abhishek who is silent now. his knuckles have turned paler than ever from gripping onto the edges of the island so hard.

Abhi:-''what the hell does that mean?''

''nothing.'' Manisha said as she picked up her purse and head to her bedroom. She don't get to go far though, because Abhishek is holding onto her wrist now. so tightly yet so gentle at the same time. She wonder how that is possible. She hope he doesn't feel the pulse on her wrist picking up speed, and he hopes her don't feel his hand slightly trembling.

Abhi:-''please babu...just..not him''

Manisha sigh for the nth time tonight, ''abhishek i can't just not date every guy you think isn't good enough or suitable enough for me. how am i ever going to find someone?''

Abhi:-''do you have to? do you have to find someone? i know you don't like Karthik enough so why?''

Mani:-''really Abhishek? do i not like Karthik enough or do you just not like Karthik like how you don't like every single guy i've ever been on a date with? why? are you scared i'll call you less? replace you? have a new best friend? spend less time with you?'' her frustration was slowly growing again.

Abhishek feels his heart clench. can he tell her? will it ruin her friendship? things are bound to become awkward, there's no way he can tell her how he truly feels.

but Abhishek decides, he finally decides that hiding his feelings from her long years is excruciating enough.

Abhi:-''none of that.'' he says so softly she can barely hear him.

Mani:-''what?''

Abhi:-''i said, its none of that.''

Mani:-''then what is it?''

Abhishek decides that if he is to get his heart broken by hsr, it might as well be tonight. he might as well just....try

Abhishek looks at Manisha one last time for what feels like a good 10 minutes, even though it was only 10 seconds. he's contemplating, he's thinking and then.. he says fuck it.

his body moves faster than his brain. before he could properly process it, he finds his lips on hers. he feels she freeze for a split second, and then he feels Manisha relaxing under his touch. he feels her kissing him back. he feels his heart beating so fast but also, he feels his heart slowly but surely unclench.

he pulls away softly and slowly. ''don't go out with Karthik anymore. don't go out with anyone else anymore. don't have dinner dates with anyone else. don't laugh at someone else's jokes that aren't funny just for the sake of being polite. i won't put you through all of that. i'll hold your hand. i'll have a pair of your converse in the car so your feet won't hurt from heels all day. i'll tell you jokes that are actually funny the way i know you like it. just let me love you and i'll show you all the ways i know how when it comes to you.''

Manisha don't realise her tears slowly staining her cheeks, not until Abhishek's free hand comes up to wipe her tears with his thumb. its now her turn when her hand to reach out for Abhishek's wrist to pull him in for a kiss.

''please...please don't go''

Mani:-''do you mean it?'' she asked softly

Abhi:-''i do. i love you, and i'll show you.''

and he does. now, he always holds her hand when she is walking on the street, crossing the road, lazing on the sofa, on the bed, on the table when she is waiting for her food to be served. he holds her hair back when she have to puke after having too much to drink. he removes her make up for her when she is too tired or too drunk. he never makes her wait, he always gives her the first bite of his food. he kisses her on the cheek, on the forehead, on her temples, the back of her hand, her fingers and on her lips, all while always telling her how much he loves her. he loves Manisha in all the small and simple ways. but Abhishek makhan knows she love him too.
