His Addictive ARCHNEMESIS ~ Ishman

Ch: 5 ~ Kiss~O~Kiss Tale

Ishan stood over Shubman, staring at his unconscious face, heart racing and hands trembling. What just happened?

He could still feel the tingling sensation from the kiss, and it made him panic.This wasn't supposed to happen! His head was spinning, and he didn't know what to do.

"Get a grip, Ishan. Think!" he muttered to himself.

Looking around, he noticed a half-full water bottle nearby. Without a second thought, he grabbed opening it, and emptied entire content over Shubman's face.

Shubman jerked awake, gasping for air, spluttering like a fish out of water. "What the-?! Are you trying to drown me, you moron?" he coughed, pushing Ishan away.

"I panicked OK!! You literally fainted like a typical daily soap Bahu!" Ishan snapped, throwing the empty bottle aside, "bass background mein dhum-tara-dhum-tarana missing tha", Ishan muttered the last sentence under his breath.

"I didn't faint, I just.. em.. I just happen to.. un-volunteering take a quick Nap!!" Shubman growled, shaking his head to get the water out of his hair. "And you could've, I don't know, maybe called for help instead of trying to drown me!"

Ishan crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow. "Please, you should be thanking me for waking you up. Otherwise, you'd still be there, marinating on the ground."

"Yeah, THANKS!!" Shubman said sarcastically, sitting up. "That was a great plan, Ishan. Very heroic of you. Should I bow down in honour to thank you--His Highness, for this overly kind personified gesture"

"Sure, I take good care of my devotees, I can even help you to get your attitude treated," Ishan shot back with a smirk.

Shubman rolled his eyes, then glanced at Ishan, who seemed a bit too stiff, too tense. Shubman's lips curled into a mischievous grin as he remembered exactly why things felt awkward between them. "Oh, this is gonna be fun" he thought thoughtfully.

"So... about that kiss," Shubman began, leaning back casually as though the topic was completely NORMAL.

Ishan's face turned red instantly. "W-what kiss? That wasn't a kiss. That was-uh-an accident! I was trying to shut you up, and our faces just-collided."

Shubman snorted. "Collided? Is that what we're calling it now? Interesting" He leaned closer, making a mockingly thoughtful expression. "Hmm, funny how your lips just "happened" to collide into mine like that, that too for a very "brief" time, actually-- Pretty coordinated accident right?"

Ishan clenched his fists, his temper rising. "Shut up, Shubman. Don't start."

"Oh, but as much I remember, wasn't it you who started-- the kiss," Shubman said, a devilish grin spreading across his face. "I mean, I get it. I know I'm irresistible, but if you wanted to kiss me, you could've just asked, you know? No need for all the dramatics."

"Yeah Irresistible in your dreams, trust me you look just a line above being malnutritioned, Your oh so skinny flat sucked up face would make a great poster for Charity case"

"Ouch- that's so mean sweety, but still you kissed so hard, So.. yeh kiss kya kehlata hai Ishan ji" Shubman said with all the dramatics and conviction sounding all innocent and sweet, which he was for a fact definitely not.

Ishan yelled awkwardly looking other way, "for the Nth time, stopped repeating "that", you sound so.. so.. um.. psychopathically Cheezy"

Shubman grinned teasing him more, "what...? is "that", "that" is-that we kissed?"
