"रिश्ता मजबूरी का था, पर एहसास अनजाने से थे,
ख़ामोशियों में भी उनके दिल की बातें सुनने लगे थे।
धीरे-धीरे वो दीवारें भी गिरने लगीं,
जिनसे हम अपने जज़्बात छुपा रहे थे।
वो थोड़े चुप, मैं थोड़ा मुखर,
पर अब दोनों ही एक-दूसरे में सुकून ढूंढने लगे थे।"

Avyansh's POV
I pulled her closer, feeling my heart race as I wrapped my arms around her small waist. "If you feel uncomfortable, just tell me right away, okay?" I said softly, trying to reassure her.
She nodded, her cheeks flushing a delicate pink. I could see the uncertainty in her eyes; she was so used to keeping her feelings guarded. I moved her t-shirt up slightly, my thumb brushing her side gently. When I felt her stiffen, I paused, watching for her reaction.
"Just breathe," I murmured, my voice calm. "I'm right here."
The silence wrapped around us, only our breaths filling the space. I felt her heartbeat against me, gradually steadying as she settled more comfortably in my arms. "Better?" I asked, searching her gaze for reassurance.
"A little," she replied, her voice soft. It was a small step, but I felt a warmth in knowing she was allowing me in.
"Good," I said with a gentle smile. "Just let me know if you need anything more."
As she relaxed against me, I rested my chin on the top of her head, inhaling the comforting scent of her shampoo. I tightened my grip slightly, ensuring she felt safe and secure. "You don't have to say anything," I added. "Just let yourself relax."
In that moment, everything else faded away. It was just us, sharing a quiet intimacy, a space where she could feel safe and cherished.
Slowly, she drifted off to sleep, her body relaxing against mine. I adjusted her position, allowing her to nestle more comfortably on my chest.
Her soft cheeks pressed against me, and I felt an overwhelming urge to bite them, they were just so cute.
Wait, Avyansh, what are you thinking?
Her arms instinctively wrapped around me, and I could feel her warmth seep into my skin. A sense of protectiveness washed over me. I couldn't help but smile at how vulnerable she looked, completely at ease in my embrace.
I shifted slightly, careful not to wake her, enjoying the peaceful moment. The sound of her gentle breathing was soothing, and it made my heart swell. In that quiet space, I realized how much I cherished these small moments with her.
As I sat there, my thoughts began to wander. She was my responsibility, yes, but there was something deeper brewing between us, something I hadn't fully acknowledged yet.
I glanced down at her peaceful face, feeling a strange mix of affection and admiration. This introverted girl, who usually kept everyone at arm's length, had somehow let me in.
"Just stay like this," I whispered softly, tightening my hold around her. "I've got you."
As I looked down at her, my heart raced at the sight of her little hands instinctively moving upwards to wrap around my neck.
