"Shubi"

"Huhmm?"

"Uth"

"Nahi"

"Sale alarm band karde,ek toh utha Tak nahi jara"

"Aap se tum se tu pe aaya? Waah"

"Alarm band karde warna marunga".

He glanced at the clock and saw it was 7 AM. He turned to Ishan, who was still snuggled up in bed, looking utterly adorable."Ishu, uth jao," Shubman whispered, gently brushing a kiss on Ishan's forehead.Ishan groaned, stretching and blinking sleepily. "Yaar phir aagai subah?"

"Haan, sweetheart. Breakfast banate hain,"
Shubman said, pulling Ishan out of bed.They stumbled into the kitchen, still half-asleep, and started making breakfast together. Shubman was flipping pancakes while Ishan was making coffee. As they moved around the kitchen, they stole kisses and playful touches, filling the room with warmth and laughter.

"Yeh lo, tumhare liye special pancakes," Shubman said, placing a plate in front of Ishan.Ishan took a bite, his eyes lighting up. "Shub, yeh toh amazing hai!"Just as they were enjoying their breakfast, Shubman's phone rang. It was Rohit. Shubman answered, putting it on speaker.

"Hello?" Shubman said."Shubman, tum dono kahaan ho? Practice shuru ho gayi hai!" Rohit's voice boomed through the phone.Ishan and Shubman exchanged a panicked glance. "Oh no, Rohit bhai, hum... hum bas nikal rahe hain," Shubman stammered."Do aur laps ka punishment hai tum dono ke liye," Rohit said, laughing.

"Aur jaldi karo!"They quickly finished their breakfast and rushed to get dressed. As they were heading out the door, Ishan stopped, wincing slightly.

"Kya hua, Ishu?" Shubman asked, concern in his voice.Ishan blushed. "Kuch nahi, bas... kal raat ke baad itna running nahi hoga mujhse."

Shubman chuckled, pulling Ishan into a hug.

"Chalo, main tumhe carry kar loonga," he teased.

"Very funny, Shub," Ishan said, rolling his eyes but smiling.

When they finally arrived at practice, Ishan was visibly limping as he got out of the car. Shubman tried to help him walk, but Ishan's awkward, slow steps caught everyone's attention.

"Yeh kya haal bana rakha hai, Ishu?" Abhishek called out, grinning from ear to ear.

"Haan bhai, lagta hai raat ko kaafi intense workout hua tha," Mayank added, winking.

Ishan's face turned bright red. "Bas karo, guys," he muttered, embarrassed but unable to hide his smile.

Rohit walked over, shaking his head with mock disapproval. "Late ho gaye lovebirds Punishment time! Do extra laps for both of you!"

Ishan winced, leaning more on Shubman. "Rohit bhai, please. Aaj toh nahi hoga mujhse."

Rohit smirked, noticing Ishan's limping. "Lagta hai, aaj Ishu ko chhodna padega."

Shubman chuckled, giving Ishan a supportive nod.

As Shubman started his laps, the team continued their playful teasing. "Shub, yeh tumhare pyaar ka result hai" yashasvi said.

Ishan found a spot to sit, and do his warm up still feeling the effects of the previous night but also feeling incredibly loved. Despite the teasing and the playful punishments, he felt happy and content. Their morning had been perfect, and even though they were late, it only made the day more memorable.

The teammates gathered around Ishan, smirking. "Ishu, kya hua tumhe?" Hardik asked, trying to suppress a laugh.

"Bas kuch nahi, thoda gir gaya tha " Ishan tried to deflect, but his blush gave him away.
