Shubman had a bad feeling about today.

But then again, he has a bad feeling almost every day.

But today he needs to be cautious, his father had scolded him in the morning for something trivial and he can't let it get to his head.

His head was already filled with all the unnecessary feelings.

Like, him looking forward to Ishan's smile, which will definitely make his day.

It was dangerous to say the least, how much power Ishan held over him.

When he was heading to college, the sky turned gray, indicating, it was going to rain.

Resulting Shubman's mood to worsen,

He hated rains.

________________________________________

Ishan was as bubbly as he always was, greeting their professors and fellow classmates with a smile.

But when he spotted Shubman, he positively lit up. And stupid heart of Shubman decided to burst out of his ribcage.

It's very dangerous. The proximity.

Today was going really slow, classes almost boring and some cancelled.

By the end of the day, the whole college was heading out, since it started raining heavily.

Shubman also packed his belongings and turned to Ishan who was peeking out the window for a while now.

"Ishan,come on, let's go"

Shubman gathered ishan's books and packed them too, slinging their bags on either of his shoulders.

His head tilted when he saw, Ishan had still not moved, as if he hadn't heard Shubman at all.

Shubman placed his hand on ishan's shoulder, making him then look up at him,

"Ish, let's go"

Ishan stood up, held Shubman's hand and tugged at it,

"Hmm, chal"

Shubman confused, just letting himself tugged wherever Ishan was heading to.

He would go to hell for this guy, if he asked.

He should've guessed it, he should have.

Ishan was such an optimistic person, ofcourse he would find joy in the rains.

They were on the terrace of their college, which by their luck, was not closed off.

Ishan had tugged him from first floor to the top floor, just to get soaked in the rain.

He was tugged again by Ishan,

"Chal na, dekh kitti acchi baarish ho rahi hai"

This time Ishan wasn't looking at him, he was admiring the rain,

Maybe that's why it was easier to deny him.

"Nahi, Ishan, you go, I'll stay here"

Ishan turned to him, his hand tightening on Shubman's wrist, with a pout,

"Aise kaise chalega, chal na"

But Shubman was determined this time, he wasn't going to get soaked in the rain anytime soon,

"No, Ish, mujhe baarish bilkul pasand nahi hai, aur mai bimar pd jaaunga!"

Shubman said with finality. Ishan gave him a look, then removed his hand and went out in the rain his eyes closed and arms in the air,
