All his life, Ishan Kohli has been seen-but never really known. As the only son of India's one of the most powerful businessman, he's been treated like royalty in every classroom, every boardroom, every glance that meet his. People smiled too quickly, laughed too easily, and never once told him the truth. So when he enters his father's empire disguised as an anonymous intern, it isn't rebellion. It's survival. Under a borrowed name and unwanted power, Ishan is finally free... Until he meets Shubman Gill, the cold COO who's never trusted a soul he didn't break first. Ice-cold, calculating, and absurdly good-looking, Shubman has no patience for wide-eyed interns who can't take the pressure. What begins as a battle of wit and will spirals into stolen glances, closed-door confrontations, and late-night truths neither of them expected to share. But when secrets start to unravel, and real names start to matter- Will Ishan risk everything to protect the only person who never wanted his last name? A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers corporate romance laced with secrets, privilege, and the cost of becoming who you really are. Dive into the journey of Ishan and Shubman with me.

He was just supposed to protect me. Not ruin me with-that damn smile. A spoiled rich brat. A dangerously composed bodyguard. Lines were never meant to blur. A slow-burn bodyguard x rich boy romance packed with unresolved tension, stolen glances, and a smile that was never meant to be his.

"Almost Us" Inspired by Bad Buddy. They were never supposed to fall. Ishan, the boy who hides behind easy smiles and quiet sacrifices. Shubman, the boy who doesn't know what to do with the ache in his chest. This is the story of everything that almost was. Of glances that lingered, bats that meant more, and a love that never found the right time to speak.

Just a bunch of oneshots, two-shots, three-shots four-shots, and different AUs on our favourite duo. Requests are open <3

ishan kishan is your average student with countable friends and average scores in studies but excels the sports tournaments. he is not a popular but a student whose existence is known to enough people to notice when he dies. (his words not mine.) on a random day, his dull life got filled with every colour known, due to a certain 6'1 tall, hot-but-cute nerd who happens to be in his class. (lowercase intended)
