Ishu ke Issues

Chapter 2

Shubman wore his brand new Ralph Lauren perfume as he took a final look at himself in the mirror. He was planning to get wasted tonight so he didn’t go overboard with his clothing (he still hasn’t entirely got rid of the vomit stains on his favourite Gucci shirt). However, he knew he still looked stunning in his simple printed black t-shirt and matching black jeans (yeah he’s definitely not narcissistic). He waited downstairs for Abhishek to bring his car when he saw Ishan walking out of his room and he almost gasped. He was wearing a silk floral shirt with grey jeans. He couldn’t help but think about how his jeans perfectly hugged his curves as his eyes travelled southwards and he mentally slapped himself. Why on earth was he checking out a guy and that too Ishan Kishan? Ishan was soon accompanied by Mayank, his best friend and Tilak. Shubman didn’t even know why he had started to find him annoying.

(I want y'all to have an idea of what we had in mind while describing their fit)

The club they were going to was a one hour drive from their place and soon they found themselves amidst the flashing neon lights and blaring music. This was ‘home’ for Shubman. He found solace in blending in with the crowd, ignoring his responsibilities and feelings, at least for a few hours.

He sat at a table, along with Arjun, Surya, Yashasvi, Virat and Rohit, while Abhishek went ahead to bring drinks for themselves. The others were at the counter, Mayank was busy downing shots while Ishan and Tilak were having a conversation. Soon, Arjun left the table to join them. Shubman kept watching. He saw Arjun say something to which Ishan tipped his head back and laughed heartily and slapped Arjun’s arms. Arjun gave a cocky smile and placed his hands on Ishan’s shoulder.

He thinks he’s such a charmer doesn’t he?

Arjun was clearly flirting with Ishan. Is he really that oblivious?

“So which one do you think Ishan is going to take home tonight?” Shubman was startled as Abhishek asked him.

“When did you come back and what the fuck are you talking about?”

“Tilak and Arjun! They’re both after him.Come on, I thought you knew already, you’ve been staring at them for the past 15 minutes.”

Shubman scoffed and sipped his wine as some of his teammates took to the dance floor. His eyes automatically searched for Ishan.

There he was, moving gracefully and effortlessly to the music, drawing all the attention to himself. The first few buttons of his shirt were now unbuttoned, giving Shubman a good view of the tattoos on his chest which made him look ten times hotter.

Soon he saw Arjun approaching him. Ishan smirked as we placed his arms around his neck and soon they were dancing together as the beat picked up speed.

Shubman’s grip around his glass tightened. They were too close. He watched as Arjun’s hand slipped down the small of Ishan’s back travelling down. He was about to get up when a familiar voice interrupted him.
It was Sara Tendulkar.

“Shubman! What are you doing here?”

“Hi Sara! We are all here for a team party actually, before we leave for the World Cup.”

“Oh okay. Well Arjun wasn’t picking up my calls and I saw that he was here from his IG story so I came here right away. I’m so sorry for intruding.”

“It’s alright Sara. Not a big deal at all. Here, have a drink.”

Sara took a sip of her wine as she looked around.

“Why are you sitting here alone though? You should be enjoying your night!”
Shubman sighed.

“I don’t really know. Maybe I want to be alone with my thoughts for a while.”

“Well,then thank you for letting me accompany you Shub,” Sara said, smiling sweetly.

She had lied. The moment she saw Arjun’s story, her eyes had caught a glimpse of Shubman, drinking in the background. She had wasted no time to get there as soon as possible.
Could you blame her though? Who would let go of a chance to see their crush especially when she had no idea when she could see him again?

“The pleasure’s mine,” said Shubman whose eyes were still glued on Ishan who was currently blabbering stupid words, sitting at the counter alone. Arjun had already passed out beside him.

“Excuse me, I’ll get back to my brother. We have a family dinner tonight and dad will kill us if we’re late. See you soon Shubman!”

“Yes Sara, we’ll catch up soon.”

Shubman sat beside Ishan, closely eyeing his every move.

“That stupid Mayu, he left with some girl. He ditched me FUCK HIM!” Ishan whined. Shubman chuckled.

He circled his hand around his waist, slowly lifting him up.

“You’re wasted. Come on, I’ll find you a ride.”

Ishan was too drunk to understand what’s going on and complied.

Abhishek’s car was parked outside but he was nowhere to be seen. Shubman quickly sent him a text and helped Ishan get on the seat. He went in to make Ishan wear his seatbelt and Ishan’s eyes shot open.

He smelled so delicious. Probably Dior.

Fuck Shubman’s brain for thinking of the wrong things at the wrong time always!

His lips were so pink and plump. He couldn’t help but wonder how soft they must feel. He wanted to know how they would taste between his teeth.

Before he knew it, he was drawing in closer. Just then, Ishan gave a teethy smile.

“Shubhiiiii! It’s youuu.”
“You’re giving me a ride! Never knew you’re so nice Shubi!”

Shubman cleared his throat and straightened his back. He tried his best to focus on the road ahead and ignore the small (and gorgeous) man who was currently snoring beside him.

He felt like he was losing his mind.
