Canvas of Love

The planning

The whole team was gathered in their room after witnessing Abhishek's dramatic, heart-burning reaction. 

Of course, the so-called 'important discussion' they were supposed to have quickly turned into absolute chaos.

"So, what now, bhai log?" Rohit sighed, throwing a very specific side-eye at Siraj and Virat, who were—yet again—engaged in their usual shenanigans. 

At first, they were simply pushing each other's legs for space, an innocent enough struggle. 

But then, Siraj, in an attempt to assert dominance, pinched Virat's thigh.

Big mistake.

Virat, never one to back down from a battle, retaliated in the most unhinged way possible—he bit Siraj's leg. 

Yes, bit.

A stunned silence settled in the room for precisely two seconds before complete pandemonium erupted. 

The two men, now fully invested in their ridiculous battle, began pinching, biting, and kicking—like a live-action Tom and Jerry episode, except with grown men. 

The funniest part? They weren't even using words. 

Just a series of exaggerated grunts, yelps, and dramatic gasps filled the air, making the entire situation even more hysterical.

Hardik, who had been laughing internally the whole time, suddenly let out a loud, stretched-out laugh—one that sounded eerily similar to the infamous "Kali Pahadi Ke Piche Wali Didi" from horror shows.

That was it. 

Rohit, who had been trying so hard to maintain his composure, finally lost it and burst out laughing too.

Meanwhile, in a completely different world of their own, Abhishek was facing a serious dilemma—where to sit.

First, he plopped himself in the middle of the circle, looked around as if evaluating the vibe, and then shuffled over to Mayank's side. 

Still unsatisfied, he leaned forward and... sniffed Mayank.

Yes. 

He actually sniffed him.

Then, like a small, unimpressed kitten, he made a dramatic "eww" face before climbing into Mayank's lap as if it was his throne.

Mayank, who had been watching the entire sequence unfold with a fond smile, simply let it happen. 

Abhishek, still restless, looked around for something interesting to do but found nothing particularly engaging.

So, what did he do?

He leaned forward and kissed Mayank on the lips. 

Just a soft, baby-like press of lips before pulling away as if nothing happened. 

Then, as if that wasn't enough, he suddenly climbed onto Mayank's shoulders like a tiny, mischievous monkey and giggled.

Mayank chuckled, holding onto Abhishek's legs tightly to prevent him from falling.

Watching all this unfold, Rahul sighed dramatically, pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Ahh... after living with these people for so long, I think I can easily shift to a zoo now."

And honestly? No one could argue with that.

"Siraj and Virat bhai, sit properly and be silent. Abhishek, get down from Mayank. Hardik, stop laughing like an animal. And Rohit bhai, why the hell are you stuffing three biscuits in your mouth at once? You're going to choke!" Rahul snapped, his face visibly annoyed.
