🔞34. (P3) Poisoned n̶o̶t̶ to be yours

*third person's POV*

Shubman made it a task now. He'd try to apologise and talk to him. So he began with the classic old... Notes.

"Abhi! Abhi please! I need your help. And your boyfriend's help... Please!"
"...fine, I'll call him... But what's the topic?"
"Secret letters to Ishan?"
"But you know how sensitive Mayank is about him..."
"I'll apologise. I'll do everything, I swear! Just please! I need your help"

So, he explained the whole situation to Mayank, who despised the idea at first but as Shubman began explaining, he accepted that his feelings were genuine.

So, Shubman wrote a letter on a paper and gave it to Mayank, who slid it in Ishan's locker before they took their books.

"...huh.. Mayu... I- I think it's for you again?"
"Uhm.... It clearly says to you"
"But... Who sent it?"
"Let's open this"

They opened the beautifully decorated and handmade paper envelope and saw a coffee colored paper inside.
Ishan loved the fresh smell it was emitting and read the words.

'My Dear,

I have to swear upon every god I've ever prayed to that you're the prettiest boy I've ever seen. You come straight from the beauty of nature. Even god couldn't have made you... You're definitely created by angels. Just like the harmony of a choir. So immaculate. Not even a flaw...

This is our first meeting, My Darling, and I won't say much further. I hope it isn't overwhelming, but I'd be honored if it is.
You're in my every dream, and every turn I take, I always seem to catch your eyes... But you've never held mine.

Your special secret admirer'

Ishan was shocked to read that and was feeling a little shy.
"W-who could this be?"
"Well, looks like you have a secret admirer who's also Shakespeare."
"Oh shush! That- that wasn't even-"
"Please! Abhishek barely wrote me a few words and I was whipped. This is too much! And imagine! He's about to write more!"
"... you know it's a he?"
"Well, duh! He called you pretty... He's definitely a he"

Ishan nodded...

...

The next day too, he saw a letter.

'To my Dearest,

I had a dream about you again... And you were looking really pretty... You know, us as boyfriends... How beautiful would that be? I gifted you flowers and chocolates, and you looked really happy. And we finished the chocolates, from which you took half of the small piece that you yourself gave to me, and then I fed you the rest of it too.

But will you tell me if you'd like flowers and chocolates someday? Anyday? Somehow I can... Make you smile?

Your special secret admirer'

Ishan giggled at that and thought of how he could reply to him.
"How about just write a reply on the back of the paper?"
"But how would he figure out it's kept in there?"
"Hmmm... We should try it once, maybe?"
"Yeah... I guess so"

"To my nameless admirer,

Yes, I love chocolates and flowers... But it's fine. I wouldn't be able to carry them with me, and above all, what if it outs your identity?
I actually love receiving these coffee papers... They smell really fresh...

Do you really dream of me every night, then?'

...

Mayank had prepared everything and when he excused himself for 5 minutes to meet Abhishek, he handed the letter to him and he gave it to Shubman.
