Kabir's povWe arrived at Rohan's house, and the sound of gaming consoles and laughter filled the air. Rohan was already deeply engrossed in a game, his eyes fixed on the screen.
Vihaan chuckled and snuck up behind Rohan, playfully hitting him on the head. "Hey, gamer boy! We're here!"
Rohan jumped in surprise, almost dropping his controller. "Ah! What the...?! Can't you see I'm in the middle of a raid?!"
We all burst out laughing, and the tension was broken. We spent the rest of the night gaming, joking, and having a great time.
As the night wore on, we decided to call it quits and head home. As we walked out of Rohan's house, Vihaan yawned and stretched his arms over his head. "Thanks for the gaming session, bro. I'm exhausted."
I chuckled. "No problem, bro. Let's get you home safe."
We got in the car, and as we drove, Vihaan leaned his head back against the headrest, closing his eyes. I thought he was just relaxing, but then his breathing slowed, and he started snoring softly.
I grinned mischievously, seeing the perfect opportunity for a prank. I slowly poured water from a bottle over Vihaan's face. At first, he didn't react, but then his eyes snapped open, and he sat up with a start.
"Ah! What the...?!" he shouted, rubbing his face. "Bro, what was that for?! Can't you see I'm trying to sleep?!"
I burst out laughing, trying to hold it in, but it was no use. Vihaan glared at me, trying to look angry, but I could see the hint of frustration on his face.
"You're going to pay for that, Kabir," he said, shaking his head.
I grinned, still chuckling. "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots."
Vihaan playfully punched me on the arm. "You're lucky I'm tired, or I'd get you back right now."
He then picked up the water bottle from the cup holder in the car, still half-asleep, and tried to pour water on me. He tilted the bottle, expecting water to gush out, but nothing came out.
Vihaan looked confused, still trying to pour water from the empty bottle. I laughed even harder, seeing the confusion on his face.
"Ha! The bottle's empty, Vihaan!" I exclaimed, holding up my hands in mock defense.
Vihaan looked at the bottle, then back at me, his expression annoyed. He couldn't believe he had fallen for it.
"You think this is funny?" he said, his voice laced with irritation.
I nodded, still grinning. "Yeah."
Vihaan shook his head, his annoyance growing. "This isn't over, Kabir. I'll get my revenge soon. Just you wait."
I chuckled, feeling a sense of anticipation for our next encounter. "I'm looking forward to it."
Vihaan's expression turned determined. "You won't be laughing when I get you back."
I just grinned, knowing that Vihaan would indeed try to get me back soon. And I was ready for it...
He then got out of the car, still looking irritated. As he turned to leave, he raised his hand to slam the car door shut.
But I glared at him, my expression warning him not to. "Hey, easy on the door, Vihaan. This is my favorite car."
Vihaan's hand hesitated in mid-air, and he looked back at me with a scowl. But he didn't slam the door. Instead, he closed it with a soft click.
