Lockdown Shenanigans

First Fight

A/N: Karman first fight after getting together

Oook, I will confess, I am not that good regarding fight scenes so... idk how this will turn out to be... and this is an AU where Karman got together just before the lockdown was announced so... The movie hasn't happened in this.

Its been just two months since Kartik and Aman got together and the transition from the just friends to boyfriends had been rather smooth unlike some other couples. They've yet to have their first fight after getting together (something they were quite proud of) but that was soon to change.

It happened somewhat like this. Aman had just gotten off the phone after a long talk with Goggle and Keshav and as usual, they all had given each other a parting dare which they wouldn't cheat or refuse, no matter what it is. And the dare was applicable till their next con-call. But this time... Aman's dare was quite a challenge.

What was it you may ask... and the dare was that anytime Aman said I love you to Kartik... he must call him some other name. And Aman being the stupid he is chose to call Kartik the first name that came to his mind - Keshav.

Kartik took it in his stride and went along with it happily. He knew about Aman's tradition with his cousins and didn't want to be the one to break that, no matter how silly it sounded to him.

But then the problem arose when Keshav visited Aman... And it wouldn't have been much of a problem too, if Aman had informed Kartik that he had a cousin named Keshav, which he hadn't.

It just so happened that Kartik came back from shopping just in time to witness Aman and Keshav hugging and whispering "I missed you" and "I love you". He waited till Keshav had retired in to refresh before making himself known to Aman.

"You got bored of me so soon? Or was I kind of like a buffer?" Kartik asked bluntly. "What are you talking about? I was just" "No Aman, no explanations needed. Itne din tune I love you Keshav, I love you Keshav keh raha tha and I took it in my stride, yeh sochkar ki you were just pulling my leg but now... Just... just leave it... I'm leaving. You enjoy yourselves" Kartik said and stormed off, the door banging loudly.

"Aman, kya hua?" Keshav asked in worry, as he came out and saw Aman on the floor, sobbing. "Kartik..." was all he could say and Keshav hugged him and let him cry before asking him to explain again.

"Kartik thinks I'm cheating on him... And I think I pushed the dare too far and I pushed it too far and he left me" Aman said hoarsely. "Achcha... the dare, what name did you use?" Keshav asked. "Keshav" Aman replied instantly.

"Haan, bol na!" he asked. "That's what! Keshav! Keshav was the name I used!" Aman exclaimed and Keshav facepalmed. "Did you inform him that I was coming?" Keshav asked. "Um... yeah, maine usse kaha ki mera cousin aa raha hai..."  "And did you tell him that your cousin's name was Keshav?" he asked knowingly and Aman blushed and shook his head.

"I messed up real bad right?" Aman asked. "Haan, but all is not lost. Easily rectify kar sakthe ho isko. Thoda time do usko aur aane do. We will explain it to him then" Keshav pacified and Aman sighed and agreed.

And so they waited the whole day and half the night before Kartik came back but turned to leave again when he saw Aman asleep on Keshav's shoulders.

"Ek minute ruk, I think there has been a misunderstanding. Main Aman ka cousin hoon, Keshav. I think he mention that I was coming? And you must be Kartik... his boyfriend?" Keshav asked and Kartik shook out of his stupor and took the offered hand.

"Yeah, main Kartik hoon" "Great. Sorry about the dare... I know ki it was stupid and you did probably take it in your stride par... this idiot was an idiot aur mention karne ki bhool gaya ki mera naam bhi keshav hai. I don't know what he was thinking of when he thought to use my name but..." 

"I get it... woh bas ek misunderstanding tha. Sorry for storming out... buri din tha and well... I wasn't thinking straight" Kartik said. "Just don't get up and leave him without a proper explanation Mr. Boyfriend. Woh toh thoda sensitive hai aur if you by any chance hurt him... You will have me and Rajni behind your back" Keshav warned with a smile.

"Got it. Achcha hoga agar hum ab sone jaayen... See you in the morning!" Kartik said as he gently lifted Aman off the sofa and smiled when Aman curled towards him, grabbing at his shirt with a peaceful smile on his face and Keshav discreetly took a photo of it and sent it to Rajni as they were cute and whoever disagrees... go to hell.
