Crush fever

First kiss

As the sun rose higher, Karan slowed the bike, pulling up to Dhruthi's PG. He turned off the engine, and they sat in comfortable silence for a moment.

Dhruthi leaned her head on Karan's back, her hair tickling his neck. "Thanks for the ride," she whispered.

Karan smiled, his heart full. He turned, his fingers gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "Anytime," he whispered back, his eyes locking onto hers.

With a reluctant smile, Dhruthi hopped off, waving goodbye as Karan rode away.As they lay on their beds, they both let out a contented sigh, ready to unwind.

But instead of relaxing, their minds began to wander, replaying every moment that had brought them closer. They relived the laughter, the adventures, and the quiet moments that had transformed their relationship.
Memories of their bike ride, the sunrise, and the gentle touch lingered, filling their hearts with warmth.

Later, refreshed and invigorated, they got ready for the day, tackling their pending work with renewed energy and focus. As they dived into their tasks, their minds still lingered on the moments they had shared, their feelings for each other growing stronger with each passing moment.

As the clock struck late, Dhruthi finally wrapped up her pending tasks, her fingers moving swiftly across the keyboard.

She reached for her phone, her mind already on Karan, and typed out a quick "Are you free now?" The message flew off into the digital ether, and she waited, her heart beating with anticipation.

Meanwhile, Karan had just stepped into his room, the soft glow of his phone's screen catching his eye. He had set a custom notification for Dhruthi's messages, and his heart skipped a beat as he saw her name flash on the screen.

He smiled, his fingers moving swiftly to respond, "Yes, I am" - the simplicity of the words belied the depth of his emotions.

Dhruthi : "I'm still at the office; can you come and pick me up now?"

Karan: "What at this hour, still at the office?"

Dhruthi: "Got busy with pending tasks and didn't notice the time."

Karan: "Wait, I'll be there in 10 minutes. Don't come out of office until I text you, okay?"

Dhruthi: "Okay bava."

Karan revved up his bike, speeding through the streets with a sense of urgency, his eyes scanning the road ahead with a mix of excitement and caution.

As he pulled up to the office, he sent a quick text to let Dhruthi know he had arrived.

Dhruthi emerged from the building, her exhaustion evident in her slow stride, but her face lit up with a warm smile as she spotted Karan waiting for her.

She swung her leg over the bike and settled in behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Karan felt a surge of tenderness as he grasped her hands, holding them close. As they glided through the evening streets, the silence between them was comfortable, a testament to their growing connection.

Dhruthi's eyelids drooped, her head nodding forward, and soon she was fast asleep on Karan's shoulder.

Karan smiled, his heart full, and gently adjusted his pace to ensure a smooth ride, not wanting to disturb the peacefulness of the moment.

As they reached her PG, Karan gently shook Dhruthi awake, his hands cradling hers. She stirred, her eyes fluttering open, and smiled sleepily. "Thanks for the ride, Karan," she said, her voice husky with fatigue.

But as she began to head towards the entrance, Karan's grip on her hand tightened, pulling her back. He spun her around, his eyes blazing with a mix of concern and protectiveness.
