Battle for Love (Comp)

Nightmares

A/N: Nightmares and other things. Can get touch feely... and totally not my forte... so I hope it turned out all right.

The following days were light hearted and fun as the team tried and hilariously failed to get Kabir and Khalid together and were understandably frustrated at the UST between the two of them and sat down at the dining table to make further plans regarding the issue.

"Andhe hai kya un dono? I can literally see the lovey dovey eyes they are sending each other! How can a person be so oblivious?" Aditi exclaimed as she looked around the table.

"Aur kya kar sakthe hai hum, even if Kabir sir realised that he is in love with Khalid... he probably would try to forget about it under the name 'Work ethics' and start preaching about how two people on the same team can't fall in love with each other" Saurabh said, rolling his eyes.

"Koi thareeka hai kya un dono ko ek saath laane ke liye?" Prateek asked as he pointedly looked at Kabir, who'd been working his ass off for the past few days.

"Sir ko tum jaante ho. Pechle char dino se achchi tarah soye nahi hai. So he will crash hard... Khalid ko us samay sir ko bed leke jaana hai toh..." Aditi proposed.

"Hum sab jaante hai Koala Kabir ke baare mein... this is going to be good" Saurabh said with a grin as he looked back at Kabir, who was starting to nod off. Little did they know how that small exchange between the two of them will change all the dynamics in the team.

Gunshots. That was what had made him turn his head, just in time to see a man with only one arm fall back, two bullets lodged into his eyes. Kabir had rushed forward to check upon him and the scenery changed, and he was shooting Abdul with hot anger coursing through him.

"Ek Varun ke liye, ek uske liye" he'd thought as he'd shot Abdul in his eye and marked him dead as the pain of betrayal and anger seemed to fade into a numbness he couldn't explain.

A girl and a women, hugging each other in fear of their lives, trying to run away from the scene and Kabir keeping their back, trying to protect them and bam, the next second, a bullet had shot through him and into the two women, killing them on the spot.

A few boys were chasing him, claiming that if they managed to catch him, they'll do anything as they please... and they did, slowly stripping him off his clothes while laughing as he tried to hide himself, embarrassment causing his cheeks to flush and tears roll down his face as he thought of how his baba would be looking down at him right now for not trying to fight back.

Another man, standing tall in front of him with a gun poised in front of him, ready to take the kill shot. The trigger was pulled, the bullet shot forward towards him...

Kabir sat up, heaving heavily, trying to calm himself down as the tears streamed down his face. "Dammit" he muttered, rubbing a hand on his face. His dreams had never been this intense, barging through all his bad memories at the same time. Maybe staying up late for all those nights was a bad idea... He then froze when he felt a hand through his hair as he came to focus, someone was muttering something in a soothing, angelic voice that helped him relax immediately.

He slowly turned around and saw Khalid there, concern and worry shining in his eyes, silently scanning him and Kabir felt vulnerable, like he'd been stripped naked and was left alone in a room of monsters. He hastily wiped his tears and scooted away from Khalid, hating himself to be this vulnerable in front of him.
