As the days turned into weeks, "Sodium" and "Water" became the unofficial moniker for Shreya and Abhishek. The nickname stuck, and it was both a source of amusement and mild annoyance for them.
One day in the library, Shreya spotted Abhishek sitting alone, engrossed in his work. She couldn't resist teasing him.
"Hey Water, drowning in code again?"
Abhishek looked up, a hint of a smile playing on his lips.
"Better than exploding in a lab, Sodium. At least my work doesn't require a hazmat suit."
Shreya chuckled.
"Oh, that's rich coming from Mr. 'I-can't-even-write-a-decent-lab-report'."
Abhishek raised an eyebrow.
"Excuse me? My reports are flawless. Unlike your lab experiments, which are a recipe for disaster."
Shreya playfully rolled her eyes.
"You're just jealous because my experiments are way more exciting than your code."
Abhishek snorted.
"Exciting? You mean explosive? I'll stick to my tidy code, thank you very much."
Their banter continued, with neither willing to give in. The tension between them was palpable, but they both knew their arguments were a cover for the growing attraction between them.
As they packed up to leave, Shreya turned to Abhishek.
"You know, Water, you're really starting to get under my skin."
Abhishek smirked. "That's the idea, Sodium."
