Cricket One Shots- BL

Happier "Two"gether ft Virat Kohli

Warning: Poly Relationship

"Stop undressing him with your eyes, Vi. Go talk to him", Rohit whispered in Virat's ears. He had seen enough of his best friend drooling at Shubman Gill. "Arre yaar.. Woh baccha hai. I am a decade older than him. He respects me a lot- I can't ruin things like that", Virat replied.

Virat never left an opportunity to be around Shubman - Shubman, being the ultimate Virat fan boy, craved for his attention and always did things to make Virat smile. It looked like if the pot was allowed to simmer, their love was going to blossom. Then walked in Ishan Kishan.

Ishan and Shubman were buddies since a long time. Finishing each other's sentences, eating from the same plate, sleeping on the same bed, always seated near each other, partners in pranking and most importantly had no physical boundaries with each other. They hugged and kissed and carried each other like it was the most natural thing to do. It was even rumoured that they shared their wardrobe and toiletries. Even the team started addressing them as Ishman instead of Ishan and Shubman.

Seeing Ishan with Shubman did things to Virat. Shubman still used to come to him and ask for his attention, but it felt different now. But was Virat planning to do something about it? Nope. Nothing at all- he was ten years older, you see.

Hardik had caught Virat staring (glaring) at the boys one too many times. He wasn't sure who the glares were aimed at as Virat loved both the boys and used to spend equal time with both of them. So he tried to just ruffle the feathers with a casual remark, "Virat bhai, stop scaring Shubman. I think they are just friends- you should talk to Ishan. I am sure he returns your feelings", he said. Virat was caught unawares like a deer in front of the headlights - Ishan? Why was he drooling at Ishan now?

Virat needed some time to introspect- he liked Shubman, he knew that. When he saw him with Ishan, he was jealous - it was quite natural too. But why was he looking for Ishan every time Shubman came alone to talk to him? Why was he feeling uneasy when Ishan was spending time with Rohit and Jassi- they are the MI boys, right? He isn't supposed to feel so about his juniors, let alone having feelings for two of them. Virat needed some solid advice - who else to go to than his best friend.

"Ro, TV bandh kar. Baat karni hai", Virat said, barging in to his friend's room. "Woh, main na, woh Shubman", Virat started. "Bola tune finally usko? I thought Ish aur Shub ki shaadi ho jayegi tab tujhe bolne ki himmat milegi", teased Rohit. "Abey yaar, baat toh sun poora. It's just that Ishan ke aane ke baad it's a bit complicated", Virat explained. "I know they are close, Virat. But I still believe you have a chance. Shubman looks at you like he could kiss the ground you walk on- in fact I have seen him doing that", Rohit advised.

"Ro, listen to me first. Let me finish talking - uske baad dena tum apni vishesh tippani", Virat said, frustrated with his friend. "I thought I felt jealous on seeing them together coz I had feelings for Shubman. But I feel equally irritated when I see Ishu talking to you or Jassi", Virat went on."Ishu?", Rohit asked, with wide eyes. Virat glared at him with a 'don't you dare make a comment' look. "It is perfectly fine if I have feelings for Ishan- I haven't confessed or anything to Shubi. Logically, I can just go ahead and talk to Ishan, if I can just get past the 9 year age gap", said Virat. "Haan toh, phir kya problem hai. As his captain and guardian, I give you the permission to date him", Rohit said.

"I want both of them", shouted Virat. He seemed to realise what he said out aloud and immediately covered his face with his hands. When his best friend came to him wanting to talk, Rohit didn't expect him to drop a nuclear bomb like this. Rohit wasn't opposed to the idea of a casual three way- he had a brief one in MI. He had seen a few in other teams too. But with Virat, nothing was casual- be it in cricket or in relationships, Virat never did casual. If he chose to act on his feelings, it would mean a serious poly relationship within the team and he was scared how it was going to affect the team dynamics. Rohit needed to tread carefully.
