Rohit was bewildered.

The first thing he heard when he went on the ground was Ishan apologizing for not scoring a century in the previous match.

He already did good enough.

"Yes Dad promise I will do my bes—"

"Ishan can I talk to your father for a second?" Rohit asked. Ishan gulped.

"Han bhai just one second. Dad, my captain wants to talk with you" Ishan replied.

Without listening to the reply Rohit took the phone and put it on speaker.

"Ab kya krdiya tune ki captain ko teri complaint bhi krni hai" His father huffed.
[What did you do now that the captain wants to complain to me about you]

" The only complaint I have for Ishan is the shit ton of insecurities he has. But now I might know the reason for it." Rohit scoffed.

"Bhai" Ishan hissed.

"Respectfully sir, I would appreciate if you will give your son some credits and feel proud for him instead of scolding him." Rohit replied.

"And who are you to tell us how should we talk with our own son huh?" His father retorted.

"Captain of this team and uncle before you say anything, being a captain does not mean I only have to be their role model and score runs on the field. It is much more than that, I have to be there for all of my team members, guide them and support them in every way and I am very much determined to do that so I will not let anyone down the moral of any of my team member." Rohit replied sternly.

"Quite a nice speech I must say Mr. Sharma. But where does your support went when my son was not even selected in the playing XI? What I am doing to him is showing him how to be a part of the playing XI, his dream, and not be just a mere substitute who has to wait for a member to get injured so he could get a chance to play." His father spat.

"Hu—"

"It would be better if you won't come in between our family talk. The way I motivate is the reason he had been doing good so far. And I want him to be the best so he can pull through the discriminating squad chooser so they would be forced to choose him because of his skills. You won't understand it so it's better not to meddle in between us." His father retorted.

"Sir it would be better if you don't accuse us of being discriminating. The team is chosen after taking note of every small thing. The members we have chosen are the best ones for their position." Rohit muttered.

"Bhai please give me the phone." Ishan whispered and Rohit ignored him.

"Oh so you mean Ishan does not deserve it? He is not good enough to be playing there. Is this how you support and guide them?" His father scoffed.

"Don't twist my words. You are elder than me so I am respectfully trying to show you my perspective." Rohit said.

"Why do I even have to listen to your perspective? I could complain about you with your coach if you want to interfere that much." His father retorted.

"Oh yeah I—"

"Bhaiya please stop" Ishan shouted. Rohit looked at him in disbelief.

"I know you only want the best for me bhaiya, but trust me dad also want that.  You are misunderstanding him. Please stop fighting and let me talk with him." Ishan spoke.

"You are telling me to go back?" Rohit looked at Ishan his jaw clenched.

"I am sorry bhai" Ishan said holding Rohit's hand who jerked his hands away.

"Ishan I have to go, I will talk with you tonight." His father said and Ishan quickly bid him goodbye.

He looked back at Rohit who was walking back to the dressing room. Ishan had to run to the coach to hand him back his phone and sprint towards the dressing room.

Rohit was ignoring Ishan in the room when everyone were taking their bag and walking out.

Everyone wanted to ask but they didn't wanted to make Ishan feel more embarrassed so they didn't.

"Oh god" Shubman sighed putting his phone back. It was the fifth call from his dad today.

"What happened?" Shreyas asked.

"Someone posted a morphed video of me roaming with Sara, dad thinks I was out with her yesterday night." Shubman replied.

"You mean the one where Sara was hugging her female friend?" Surya raised his eyebrows and Shubman hummed.

"Dad worries too much, when he get to know it was morphed he was ready report all of those accounts." Shubman shook his head.

"Isn't it a good thing your dad cares for you." Virat muttered. Everyone went quiet at that.

Rohit looked at Virat and went towards him.

"I am sorry I didn't meant to say that aloud." Virat quickly apologized.

"Cheeku" Rohit mumbled before pulling him into a tight bear hug. Virat was quick to hug him back.

"I am fine. I dunno why I said that" Virat said after breaking the hug.

"It's okay and if you ever feel like that you can simply come to me Cheeku." Rohit said punching his shoulder.

"Daddy" Rishabh gasped.

"What the heck?" Virat and Rohit both looked at him weirdly.

"You spoiled our roko moment." Shreyas huffed.

"I didn't meant to. I just had read so many wattpad fics for them so I couldn't control myself. " Rishabh said.

"There are fics for them?"

"Are they both lovers in wattpad fics?"

"Who is the top?"

"What the heck Surya get your mind out of gutter" Rohit slapped his head.

"Rohit bhai tops Virat bhai in all of the fics. The jealous one shots are the best ones." Rishabh joked.

"Wait what about Ritika and Anushka bhabhi?" Shreyas asked.

"They don't exist in those fics. Do you take them for cheaters?" Rishabh retorted.

"Can you all stop this nonsense?" Rohit glared at them.

"What? The reason I joined ict team is only because I wanted to see these roko special moments with my own eyes." Surya grinned. Rohit sighed at the members.

"Rishabh please share the links of all those fanfics."

"Oh I will, you know Shubman and Ishan are also getting shipped so much nowadays. I will share those fics with you too." Rishabh replied quickly fishing his phone out.

"What? We are just best friends." Ishan frowned.

"And so are we" Virat deadpanned.

"Wait who is the top in the shubish ones." Tilak asked.

"Shubman. Ishan is a cute baby in all of them. Atleast I have read some Virat bhai as power bottom but Ishan is sub in all of them." Rishabh shrugged nonchalantly.

"Oh man I wanted some of Ishan as a power bottom." Surya shook his head.

"What are you saying? I am a top." Ishan huffed.

"You are gay" Shubman snickered lowly so nobody else could hear.

"I am a gay top." Ishan scowled.

"What?!" They all looked at Ishan.

"Huh?" Did they all heard that-

"Who is gay??" Surya asked.

"Shubi" Ishan stuttered without thinking.

"Shubi you are gay? What will happen to Sara bhabhi now"

"No I am not. Ishan means I know who is gay." Shubman said glaring at Ishan.

Ishan mouthed a sorry.

"Then tell us!!" Surya ushered.

"Virat bhaiya"

"Huh? What will happen to Anushka bhabhi and Vamika now."

"What the heck?" Virat glared at them.

"I mean, Rohit bhaiya is gay for Virat bhaiya."

"I knew it Roko is too cute to be just platonic!"

"But what about Anushka and Ritika bhabhi? They do exist in reality."

"We can make them gay as well and they all can be happy forever."

"Shubman do you want a beating?" Rohit glared daggers at him.

"No, I mean Ishan is gay for Rohit and Virat bhaiya." 

"What the heck? I am gay but not for them." Ishan slapped his arm.

"What?!"
