"I thought you hated hugs" , I voiced out as he wrapped his arms ever so gently around me.
"I still do, but hugs from you are an exception", he pulled me closer, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
Intrigued, I slightly tilted my head...

Prisha woke up to the soft glow of early morning light filtering through the curtains. She blinked a few times, her mind slowly clearing from the remnants of sleep. The room was quiet except for the distant chirping of the birds and the gentle rise and fall of Veer's breathing.
She had to get up early because Meera had given her and Diya strict orders to be present in her room to help her get ready for the Haldi Ceremony. And Of course how could they deny her. Afterall, it's their best friend's wedding. Stretching, she got up quietly from the bed, making sure not to wake Veer up. She entered the walk-in closet, which had the attached bathroom. She took her bathrobe and toiletries and was about to enter the bathroom when she realized she hadn't closed the closet door.
Walking towards the door, she reached out to close it while juggling her stuff in one hand, hoping to not drop anything. A dull thud echoed in the room as her shampoo bottle slipped from her grasp and hit the wooden floor, shattering the silence .
"Why are you up so early ? " Veer's groggy voice reached her ears as she picked up the bottle.
"I have to get ready myself first and then help Meera for the Haldi too. You sleep there's still time. I need to shower first " she replied looking at him as he rubbed his eyes.
She was about to slide the door close but was caught off guard by his cheeky remark. "Maybe we could shower together. You know there's water scarcity in the northwestern part."
"Very funny Mr.Environmentalist. It's 7 in the morning so please keep these remarks to yourself " she rolled her eyes at him as he supported himself on his elbow. "Unless you want me to consider it for real" she added cheekily controlling herself from smiling while he almost toppled over hearing her words. He hadn't expected her to flirt back.
She slid the closet door hurriedly when she heard him shout "Are you really considering it? I am ready to be honest "
"Shut up !" she yelled back shaking her head in disbelief as she closed the bathroom door and started with her morning routine.
In the meanwhile, Veer's sleep was long gone, a stupid little smile not leaving his face as he lazily stretched on the bed thinking about his and Prisha's flirty chat. He sunk into the pillows and started scrolling through his phone, listening to the sounds of the shower. After roughly about thirty minutes, he heard the shower being turned off and the creek of the bathroom door.
After a few minutes, a piercing scream echoed from the closet. Veer's heart leapt into his throat, and he sprang out of bed, rushing to the door. Without a second thought, he slid the door and burst in.
