Undivided Attention [Ishman]

Chapter 8

"Would you happen to know where my blue swim trunks are? The one we bought at the airport together?"

"Why would I know where YOUR swim trunks are?"

"I don't know, do you?"

"No Shubman do I look like your mom?"

Shubman just groaned at Ishan's question. The boy had created a huge pile of clothes on his side of bed trying to find that one pair of trunks. No one knew why he was so desperate.

"Why do you need them now?"

"You don't know??" Shubman raised an eyebrow at him.

Ishan looked at him confused. He didn't know what he was missing out on and why it involved swim trunks.

"No..?"

"Oh right you wouldn't... When was the last time you checked our groupchat? You do know it's not a family gc where we share good  morning messages and political jokes right? You can just-"

"God just tell me already." Ishan got slightly annoyed.

"They've hosted a pool party for us. Now that the ipl auction and selection are already done we felt it was a good idea. Also yes you're invited. Even though it's just for Gujarat Titans." Said Shubman while straightening his posture and towering over Ishan, he wanted to look like a proud king granting lands to his peasants.

"And who is inviting me??"

"GT's captain ofcourse."

Ishan gasped. He looked at Shubman with pure joy in his eyes.

"THEY MADE YOU CAPTAIN?"

"HELL YES THEY DID!"

Ishan hugged Shubman. He was proud of his bestfriend. His achievements meant alot to him as he practically watched the boy grow up. He was always happy for Shubman. Although sometimes he felt overshadowed, there was no place for bitterness in his heart. He loved his bestfriend.

They both stopped hugging and Shubman who still grinning looked at Ishan who gave him a weird look.

"..why do you need those blue high cut trunks specifically?"

Shubman smirked at Ishan.

"Well you know... There are gonna be girls. My thunder thighs might help me step up my hookup game." He slapped his thigh. Yeah like a Punjabi.

"Tch" Ishan clicked his tongue before speaking, "Grow up already. Hookups are lame." He said as he turned away from Shubman almost leaving until..

Shubman grabbed his forearm.

"Why? Is someone jealous?" He said.

"Very funny bro look at me rolling on the floor." Ishan spoke with a straight face.

"Alright whatever just be ready by 4 we're gonna leave together." Shubman rolled his eyes before continuing searching.

"I saw that."

..

"So you finally found them" Ishan huffed.

"Yeah don't I look great?"

"... Suree" Ishan said after a long pause.

"What's wrong with them bro they look great" Shubman raised his hands defensively.

"Too slutty."

"Okay."

"Anyway don't you think it's kinda chilly out here.. Also not gonna lie, I would not wanna get my hair wet."
