Summary: Karman are going through their picture albums from childhood and find a really interesting photo. Looks like their first meet wasn't their first meet after all.

A/N: As usual a tribute to SPB sir cuz he was a legend and will always be in our hearts.

Kartik and Aman were relaxing at home, sorting through the numerous memories that were immortalised in the form of photos. Each of them made fun of the other at some embarrassing moments and some were moments of nostalgia that brought a small smile on their faces.

"Hey! That's..." Kartik exclaimed as he saw one particular picture. "If I remember right... It was one of SPB sir's concerts. We had gotten backstage passes for the same too, by some luck. The other boy seems familiar too..." Aman recalled with a small chuckle.

"We ran all over the place while singing at the top of our voices... Let's not forget the time when we nearly got lost in the crowd... gave our parents a nice scare, not to forget my cousin chewing her father at the end of it all as we didn't let her enjoy the concert" he relied with a chuckle

"And we had the guts to run off backstage and have another meeting with sir and talk his ears off, after the photo" Kartik interjected.

"Wait! You were there??" Aman asked in surprise. "Of course I was! That right there is my family! That was one of the last memories I'd had with my mother... Though the photo was gone in the house fire and so we didn't have anything to... You know" he said with a shrug.

"Kartik zyada Singh has never changed over the years. If any, you've just become extra zyada" Aman said. "And Aman zyada Tripathi has become Aman quiet Tripathi. And is as quiet as a mouse unless spoken to" Kartik retorted.

"It was a pity we didn't exchange contacts at that time and forgot about each other" Aman said with a small pout. "But we're together now right?" Kartik asked.

"That we are... Remember how you were the one to actually approach me to talk as you were too bored?" Kartik asked. "And ironically, it was the other way round when we were adults" Aman said.

"But man SPB sir has the patience of a saint, patient enough to hear two children singing his songs offbeat... That was something... You still have that shirt with you?" Kartik asked curiously and Aman nodded, moving to fetch it out of the trunk.

And there it was, a plain, white shirt, autographed by the legend himself, with "Zyada boys" written in the bottom. "Well... we have to change our first meeting story after all..." Aman said with a small smile.

A/N: Hope you all like it! All comments and criticisms accepted and appreciated! (There will be another version of it with the actual concert scene so... yeah. Just need to select the songs for the concert...)

Thank you all for reading!!!!!!!!!

Rasnak signing off :) ;)
