"Ro, we are also coming with you," Virat said in the evening as he was getting ready.
"I will get bored without you," he added, hugging Rohit from behind.
"That's great, Vi! We will have fun," Rohit said back, excited to be with everyone. He didn't even think about Virat's jealousy.
Virat could not help but stare at Rohit wearing a black shirt. He looked so hot and cute at the same time, cute the way Rohit was smiling. It was the sight Virat would do anything for. Just for Rohit's smile.
"What are you staring at, my love?" Rohit asked as he set his hair.
Virat came in front of him and sat with the support of the dressing table. He pulled Rohit closer and fixed his hair. Rohit smiled at that and put his hands around Virat's waist.
"Itna hot lagna jaruri hai?" Virat asked with a cute pout while buttoning up Rohit's shirt.
Rohit chuckled at his cuteness. "Hot lag raha hu?" he asked, and Virat nodded, still slowly buttoning the shirt.
"Bahot," Virat said, putting his hand on Rohit's chest while Rohit pulled him closer by his waist.
"Abhi Virat Kohli ka boyfriend hu, hot toh lagna hi padhega na," Rohit said, making Virat blush at the word boyfriend.
"U also wear black," Rohit said, taking out a shirt for him. "Go quickly, get changed, otherwise if I help you, we'll get late," he said, winking at him.
Virat came out after changing, and Rohit set his hair to the messy style he liked.
"What?" Rohit asked as he finished setting his hair and saw Virat staring at him.
Virat just hugged him tightly, burying his face in his chest, inhaling his scent, which was so addictive it made Virat crazy. He couldn't even imagine anyone else looking at Rohit. He didn't know why, but this time, the jealousy felt different.
Rohit hugged him back, his hands gently around Virat's waist.
"What's going on?" Rohit asked, caressing his hair. He felt Virat was a bit different today. He couldn't quite pinpoint what it was, so he decided to ask directly.
Before Virat could say anything, Rohit's phone rang, breaking their hug.
"Yeah, Polly, we'll reach in 20 minutes. See you there," Rohit said.
"Come, Vi, they're waiting," Rohit held Virat's hand, and they moved out together.
Rohit and Virat were in one car, having left a bit early, while the others followed in a different one.
Virat stared out the window, thinking that they couldn't be together openly since no one knew about them.
So, he felt he couldn't hold Rohit's hand or even be close to him.
Rohit noticed Virat lost in thought and gently held his hand, caressing his knuckles.
"You okay?" Rohit asked softly while driving.
Virat nodded with a soft smile, though Rohit noticed it didn't quite reach his eyes.
"Are you sure? If there's anything, you can tell me," Rohit pressed gently.
"Yeah, don't worry," Virat replied softly.
"You go ahead, meet them. I'll wait for the others to come," Virat said, not wanting to intrude.
"Nahi, you come with me," Rohit said, not wanting to leave him alone.
"Ro, please try to understand. Okay, I'm coming inside. I'll sit there, you go and meet them. And don't argue now—they're waiting for you," Virat said firmly, and Rohit didn't have any choice but to agree.
