Shubman was furious.

He wanted to scold Ishan really bad.

If Shahneel wasn't smart enough to check his location through snap chat god knows for how long Ishan would have laid on the sideline of highway unconscious.

How can he be so careless and irresponsible?

Going out in the middle of night while sending that message and then blocking him.

The good thing was he was back now. In his arms.

He know he has to talk with Ishan about this but for now he was tightly holding Ishan in his arms, being grateful nothing happened and everything was okay.

He was relieved to have Ishan back but there was still a little bit of anger burning inside him.

Though no matter how much angry he was, he couldn't voice out anything. He couldn't get himself from doing anything other than holding him close.

Ishan didn't said anything. He was just looking down on his lap while laying his head on Shubman's chest.

Running his hand through Ishan's hair for the nth time Shubman finally spoke.

"Why did you blocked me? And what was the message about? Do you know how much scared I was?"

Ishan looked back at him gulping.

"Ish if something is bothering you then tell me. I will help you out," Shubman said taking Ishan's face in his hand.

"You don't want to know trust me," Ishan pulled back.

"You don't get to decide that. You are telling me right now why did you acted so reckless? Why did you thought blocking me like that and scaring the shit outta me was a good move?" Shubman's voice was stern now but still there was a hint of gentleness.

"You found me back so does it even matter?"

"Yes it does, I want to know what are you bottling up? You don't have to face everything alone. I am here for you naa, so let me help you out." Shubman's voice cracked up in the end.

"I don't need your help. I can manage myself well,"

"I know you can, but it doesn't mean that you have to. I know how much strong you are but please let me in. Just talk to me about it," Shubman was pleading at this point.

Ishan felt a pang of hurt and he couldn't take it anymore.

"I think we should not let this fling get ahead of ourselves,"

"Huh? What fling? What do you mean Ishan?"

"Burn, I thought your feelings for me would last longer. But you already forgot about me,"

"Don't fuck with me right now, you can't just use sarcasm to get away. And I would not let you use what we have as just fling. We are boyfriends and we both know what we have is real,"

"We never talked about our emotions Shubi, don't be a fool. We just had a few desires and we did it,"

"You think you can hurt me to get away? You don't want me to tell what happened fine! Don't tell me, I will find it by myself."

"No s—"

"I already gave you time to tell me everything Ish."

"Okay fine, let me tell you."

Shubman looked at him skeptically. Ishan sighed getting off from his lap to sit beside him.

"I am going to come out in the interview," Ishan whispered.

Distraction will work, Shubman won't be ready to tell the world about himself. He can get away from this situation.

"Why do you want to do it now? You can reveal some other time. I don't want anyone to troll you,"

"That's the point, they are already doing it. I don't have anything to lose. What else can even hurt me now?"

"Ish-"

"No Shubman you can't change my decision. Don't worry I won't say anything about you,"

"I don't mean that, and if you are coming out then I will also come out to the whole world."

"You don't have to do it. I might have nothing to lose but you do. You aren't getting trolled and your family also loves you. You don't have to destroy your image,"

"No Ish, I don't care what others will say. And if you will announce that you are gay then I will also tell everyone how much I love you,"

"You wouldn't, do you even know what will your family think? They won't agree to it,"

"I can easily woo them. My dad loves me too much to care about these things, I am sure and for my mom, Shahneel will help me. So if you are coming out then I will come out too,"

"And you will say what? Do you even know your sexuality?"

"I didn't thought of it yet, but it doesn't mean I don't love you."

"No Shubi, it does. If you would have loved me then you would have thought about what is going to be the next step. You were straight a few weeks ago, you can't even accept you are homosexual then how can you be so sure you love me?"

"I just don't know whether I am bi or not. It doesn't mean I am not ready to call myself homo—" Shubman couldn't continue as Ishan had rushed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

Shubman sat there in shock. Why is Ishan trying so hard to push him away?

He won't let Ishan go away like that. He went out of his room as well looking for  Ishan.

He wasn't in the hallway, could he be in the kitchen? Okay not there as well.

While coming out of the kitchen he almost ran into his father.

"S-sorry dad, I was just looking for Ishan."

"It's okay Shub, ah and I saw Ishan here a second ago."

"Really where did he went?"

"He stormed out of the house. I asked him how was he feeling but he didn't had any ma— wait where are you going?" Mr Gill looked in disbelief as his son just walked out mid conversation.

Fuck Ishan, he turned his son mannerless just like himself.

"Stop being a sap and listen to the pr. Go and change your clothes, Ishan will be here soon so you can talk with him then," Surya sighed.

Why did he thought coming here would be a good idea to support them for the interview?

Shubman is just continuously whining for Ishan who hasn't even arrived yet. Surya did called Ishan twice a while ago and everytime it was Mayank picking it up and telling they are on their way.

But Surya couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about the whole situation.

Ishan has not shared something, that's for sure. He would not just walk out on Shubman. Maybe it was someone from Shubman's family? Or his own family could say something as well?

But whatever it was Ishan should have talked with Shubman. Walking out like that isn't fair for Shubman as well. They should have communicated with each other.

If Ishan can't tell Shubman then Surya will make sure atleast he knows. They have been friends since so long. He would make sure Ishan doesn't bottle everything inside like he does most of the time.

Preview for next chap ::

"But now I do know what I am. And just for the sake of homophobic people I am not going to pretend to be something I am not. I don't care what they think of me. They don't have to like me. The only opinion that matters to me is yours.

And Ish I may not know my sexuality but that's because I never thought about it. I don't even care what I am.

Bisexual? Or maybe Pansexual? Name me however you want to, but just remember whatever I am, I am yours,"

You might be thinking why I gave the preview of the next chapter... that's coz I am writing the next chapter as well and couldn't stop myself to show you all a sneak peak.
