Cricket One Shots- BL

Only You, Cupcake ft Riyan Parag

"Riyoo, is there something you need to tell me?", asked Dhruv as soon as the call was connected."No hi, no how are you, seedha investigation chalu, haan DJ? Tu sab jaankar call kar raha hai, zyada overacting mat kar", Riyan said, irritated by his friend's curiosity. "Haan toh social media pe itna bawaal karke rakha hai toh jaanunga na. Live streaming se pehle history clear nahi kar sakta tha, duffer?", Dhruv chided his teammate.

"Ab tu mat shuru kar DJ. I just finished with the call from Yashu. Uska history,geography,politics sab Sanju bhaiyya ne sambhala hua hai, so usko tension nahi hai. Meri ek galti ke liye itna sunaaya usne. Don't lie DJ, you guys also search all this shit- I am not the first cricketer to do all this", said Riyan, frustrated with his friends.

"Accha sorry. I didn't mean to irritate you. I called to know how you were holding up. Mom Dad ne kuch bola tujhe? Do din me log sab bhool jayenge Riyu, cheer up now", Jurel said. "They didn't say anything as such, just told me to be careful of my public persona", Riyan replied.

"Umm.. Do you actually like her?", asked Dhruv hesitating a bit."Who? Those actresses? Yes- they are good looking and hot na. What's there not to like?", Riyan replied. 'Tu jaa unhi ke pass, main baat nahi karta tujhse", said Dhruv before disconnecting.

Riyan rolled his eyes at how his DJ was behaving. He shut his door first before placing the call- he didn't want his parents walking in on him coddling his boyfriend. "DJ, call kyu kaata tune? Poori baat sun toh lete na?", he asked."I like all those actresses but I don't love any of them. You know that right, Dhruvi? You are the only one I love, cupcake", Riyan added, pulling out Dhruv's nicknames.

Dhruv blushed at the nickname, but he had appearances to keep."Cupcake mat bulao mujhe. It doesn't suit my personality", said Dhruv. "Then what do I call you? Pumpkin? Sugarplum? Or Sugardaddy maybe?", Riyan asked with a cheeky grin."Chi yaar. Aisi gandi baat bolte sharam aati hai mujhe", said Dhruv hiding his face. "Karte sharam nahi aati tujhe, toh bolne me kya sharam?", Riyan asked his shy boyfie.

"Accha chodo. When are you coming to meet me Riyu? Bahut miss kar raha hu. I can't wait to hold you. Sanju bhaiyya aake milke gaye Yashu ko. Yashi was calling me a jealous bitch", Dhruv asked, with his famed pout. "Sanju bhaiyya ko jaana pada tha unke break up ki wajah se. Humara koi break up nahi hua hai jo main abhi bhaagke aaunga. Concentrate on your game, baby. We are meeting in RR camp soon na?", Riyan explained.

"Yashi ne bola tujhe break up ke baare me? Mere pass roke aata toh daant padti, that's why he called you", said Dhruv."Haan, ugly crying sessions are always reserved for me. Galti se I joined in bitching about bhaiyya- itna sunaaya us kameene ne mujhe. Seems woh bol sakta hai kyunki uska boyfriend hai, aur koi nahi", Riyan laughed thinking about that discussion.

"Obviously. I am also that way. Aaj kisi ki daanth thod deta main coz they were making fun of you about the YouTube thing. Par tere ko toh main suna raha hu na about being a dumbhead about it", Dhruv explained.

"Accha sun, Yashi was teasing me that I make you do lots of things that they don't. Do I go overboard when we are together, Riyu? Tune usse kuch bola tha kya?", Dhruv asked his boyfriend. "I told him about that day we met after two months away. Woh din you were so dominating and controlling. Maybe he thought that's our normalcy. Us gadhe ko samjhata hu main", Riyan said to his worried DJ. "Par that too. Did I make you do things that you were uncomfortable doing?", he asked Riyan."Main dikhta bhola hoon, par hoon nahi. I was more than comfortable with whatever we did,love. I like that side of you. If I feel any discomfort with anything you do to me, I will make it known to you- either through words or through my mukka on your face", teased Riyan. "But seriously, why would you take Yashi's words so seriously? We both have already agreed that he is a 40yr old man in a 22yr old body- usko bas Sanju bhaiyya hi khush rakh payenge", he added

"Are your parents traveling with you for IPL?", Dhruv asked."Haan, mom will be coming. Kyu?", Riyan enquired. "Nahi, nothing. Woh... I will have to share room with someone else then. Your jealous ass won't like it and we will end up fighting", Dhruv explained. "Umm.. I kind of told Mom ke I won't sleep in the same room with her. Obviously I will have to spend lots of time with her, but raat ko tere sath hi rahoonga. Don't even think of finding a roommate- only I know how I restrained myself from punching Dev's face last year", Riyan warned his boyfriend.

"Accha, Rohit bhai kinda knows that we are dating - Yashu ne bak diya tha match ke beech me. You are okay with it na. ", Dhruv asked."Yeah. Shouldn't be a problem. Waise bhi main kahaan unse interact karne wala hu. MI wale match me milenge- ye sab discuss karne ka thode hi time rahega", Riyan replied casually.

"Oh mere dumbo. If IPL goes well for you, you are going to get selected for the national team. Why am I surrounded by so many dakkans in my life?", Dhruv lamented. "I don't want to think that far DJ- let's just see how the IPL goes. Who knows, I might just publicly propose to you during IPL- then it won't be a secret anymore", Riyan teased.

"Chalo,it is challenge then. Get the orange cap and I will kiss you in front of the whole team. Sath me MVP bhi mila toh I will kiss you in front of the camera for the world to see", Dhruv challenged. "Sach mein karega, babe? Then I will have to prepare mamma beforehand. Achanak se pata chalega to shock lagega", Riyan said.

"So you are sure you are gonna win it?", Dhruv asked, in awe of his boyfriend's confidence. "Orange cap toh pakka- that's my aim as well - I want only the Royals to know now. Rest of the world will know the day I hit my first international hundred", Riyan replied with a smile.

"God, your confidence is doing things to me Riyu baby. You know how much I love seeing this version of yours. Ye saal ke saare matches tu aise roaring form me khelega na, I will have lots of trouble concentrating on the field. I have seen Yash drooling from the slips when he sees bhaiyya keeping. I am sure I am going to make a fool of myself soon", Dhruv ranted.

"You are saying this? You know what my latest muse for late night adventures is? The video of your roar after that match- winning 91. Show me that video and you can make me do anything you like- I am that addicted. You looked so hot, pumpkin-  I wish I was there. Instead, that Shubman got to hug you in your sweaty glory", Riyan said with disdain.

"Soon baby, both of us will start playing together in the national team. Then all of my sweaty hugs would belong only to you. For now, let me just go to the bathroom- I have some things to take care of", Dhruv requested. "Can I watch?", came the Assamese brat's question. "You are such a pain, Riyan Parag. Sharam naam ki cheez hi nahi hai. You can watch all you want in two weeks- abhi ke liye use your imagination", Dhruv replied, exasperated.

And watch, is all that Riyan did in the first few weeks at Jaipur. While the whole team used to make space for the captain and his boyfriend to spend time alone, the in-the-closet couple had their rooms taken over by teammates till late night, over games, movies and gossip. After two weeks of this, it was Dhruv who put his foot down. It was 11pm and the boys looked like they were going to spend the night."Riyu, ek second idhar aana toh", he called his boyfriend to the balcony. He deliberately left the curtains open a little bit and told Riyan,"I want you tonight- make it happen. Nahi toh I am moving to Yashu's room- woh khali pada hai", Dhruv threatened. He then went on to place a bite on his earlobe as encouragement. A flustered Riyan Parag walked into the room and announced,"Guys, I need to spend some time with my boyfriend tonight. Can we do this some other day? " The kyas kyuns kaises and kauns got drowned in a scream when their 'DJ' came and hugged Riyan and kissed him on his lips. The "orange cap" challenge could wait- Dhruv couldn't wait till the end of the season to get his hands on his pretty boy.

By the end of the season, Riyan missed the Orange cap by a whisker, but by then half of the team knew about the new couple. They waited for Sanga's end of the tournament speech to end before starting with the "Kiss, Kiss, Kiss" chant. DJ obliged by kissing the living daylights out of his boyfriend while the whole team watched and whistled in encouragement of the new couple in the Royals family.
