A/N :: One thing I wanna share is that, I deliberately wrote that messed up scene in previous chapter. Because when I gave the warning of Shubman being a red flag I seriously meant he was going to be a red flag. So I needed to show how much sick minded he has been since childhood.

And tbh that scene was pretty much the reality, teenage is a crucial age where either you become a good human or your mentality gets destroyed, and we undergo many circumstances as well. So when Shubman was undergoing through puberty, instead of his parents supporting him and helping him through it, he had orphanage kids who were already spoiled kids so they spoiled Shubman's mentality as well.

But Shubman was already a psycho kind of guy so these things took a toll on him thus making him more of a maniac.

Believe me, this is the reality...and that's one of the main reasons why kids needs parents to raise them.

And I am just justifying Shubman's pov, it doesn't mean I am excusing his behavior. For all the messed up things he has done in the past he is going to suffer because of this in the present. So just wait and you will know everything pretty soon.

PRESENT

Shubman was pretty much sure by now, Ishan was deliberately not trying to run away anymore.

After the amusement park incident Ishan was being extra clingy. Whenever Shubman will come, Ishan will just be near him.

He wasn't doing anything suspicious as well and that's what made Shubman more suspicious of him.

So today Shubman made an escape plan for Ishan, if Ishan tried to get away then it would be all okay. But the problem was he didn't. He didn't tried to run away. Which was very confusing because if he wanted he could run away easily.

The plan was too good so Ishan wouldn't even know it was a plan.

He should have ran away, but he didn't at all.

When there was a sudden troop of invaders entering the mansion all the guard ran towards the main hall, leaving Ishan alone.

Even Rohit also just told Ishan to not go out of the room and ran to the hall, to fight with those men who were wearing a mask.

Ishan was scared at first, he sneakily looked down at the fight taking place in the mansion. But instead of running away he went and sneaked a guard's phone calling Shubman and telling him about the intruders. Shubman was shooked at first when Ishan called but then calmly told the lad to go and hide in Shubman's room.

Soon enough when Shubman went to the mansion he walked to his room only to find Ishan curled up in one of the corners and when Shubman came he immediately latched himself onto Shubman telling him how much scared he was, will all those gun fire sounds and blood.

[A/N - It was all fake, nobody was hurt]

Shubman shushed him telling him everything was fine now. Ishan still didn't left him just staying in his arms.

"Keep me with you please, I don't feel safe here. First your guard then this sudden attack. Take me with you," Ishan muttered looking straight at Shubman.

"You want to come with me?" Shubman asked and Ishan nodded his head.

"I want to be safe Shubi," Ishan said.

"And how do you know I will keep you safe?"

"I know Shubi you will. You always keep me safe. You will never let anything happen to me,"

"How are you so sure Ishan?"

"I called you and now you are here, I trust you." Ishan said and Shubman laughed.

Ishan had his eyebrows furrowed when Shubman started to laugh out of nowhere. He looked  confused but Shubman didn't stopped he just laughed to his heart's content and looked at Ishan.

"What do you want Ishan? Tell me why are you fucking with me" Shubman spat.

"What do you mean? I am not doing any—"

"Don't lie Ishan, I hate liars. Virat bhaiya were right. There is something going on, you are being a lot suspicious. You didn't even tried to run away. You could have easily left this place," Shubman scoffed.

"I-I forgot. The place was being attacked so how could I think of running away,"

"When you are being attacked any sane person would first think of running out of the place they are being attacked at."

"But Shubman if I ran out and they noticed me then it could have been a problem. I knew you will come to save me. And you did. See you came for me,"

"Stop fucking around Ishan, I know you are hiding something from me. Tell me—"

"Shubmann," A huffing Shreyas entered  the room. He put his hands on the knees gasping for air as if he just ran a marathon.

"Shrey?" Shubman looked at him.

"You need to see this, come its important." Shreyas muttered pulling Shubman out of the room with his palm.

Ishan looked at them walking out, two guards were still standing inside the room just looking at Ishan.

Ishan shrugged laying on the bed. Good thing Shreyas came and distracted Shubman.

Only if he knew what Shreyas was going to show him instead.

FLASHBACK

"Ishan please I am sorry for last night," Shubman muttered while they were having breakfast.

"It's okay Shub, I am not angry at you." Ishan sighed chewing on his parantha.

"You are, that's why you are not sitting close to me. You even stopped cuddling with me at night. You don't want to be with me now?"

"No no Shubi, I am your friend I will always be with you. It's just...it's...I didn't liked the way you touched me yesterday night. I felt uneasy, it was a weird feeling." Ishan muttered sighing out loud.

"It's okay Ish, I am sorry. I would really not touch you without your consent ever again."

"Consent?"

"It means I would never do anything which you not like from now."

Ishan nodded his head grasping the new word he learnt.

"Shubu what did you do last night? Why did you touched there? No one touch each other there miss told." Ishan asked.

"It's not a place anyone should touch...only those who love each other can touch, it's a way of showing love." Shubman muttered not knowing how to explain this to Ishan.

"I love you Shubu,"

"I know bub and I love you too."

"I love warden too...so if she loves me will she also touch me like that?"

"NO...I-I mean ... you see Ish I don't like you cuddling with anyone else other than me and Mr Croc so nobody can touch you as well." Shubman murmured.

Ishan nodded his head as if understanding what Shubman meant.

"Ishaaan jldi aa vrna pichli baar ki tarah jagah nahi milegi aur iss baar apni godi m nahi bithaunga." A 14 yrs old child said patting Ishan on his knee.
[Ishaaan come fast otherwise the seats will be full again and this time I won't let you sit on my lap]

"Don't worry main abhi aa rha hu," Ishan said quickly finishing his breakfast.
[I am coming fast]

"What did he meant?" Shubman furrowed his eyebrows looking at the lad running out of the room.

"Taare zameen par is screening today after so long Shubi, you don't like to watch that movie. So you play with toys and I will go and watch it."

"No what did he meant by last time?" Shubman asked stopping Ishan from getting out of the bed.

"Last time there wasn't any seat left for me so Rohan let me sit on his lap and I got to watch the movie. Isn't he nice?" Ishan grinned picking up his plate.

"I will come with you," Shubman said watching him get up.

"But you don't like the movie?"

"I like it from now on. You will watch with me." Shubman said walking beside him.

Ishan shrugged putting the plates on their spot and washed his hands before running to the small theatre room with the projector.

This time they were early so there were many seats empty. Ishan sat down beside Shubman who pouted.

"Why are you sitting here?"

"Huh? You don't want me to sit beside you Shub?"

"No! Sit on my lap, like you did with Rohan." Shubman murmured.

"But there are many empty seats."

"Ish it will be filled soon and what if someone else doesn't get a seat this time? So sit on my lap so we could free the seat." Shubman said pulling Ishan by his waist already.

Ishan let Shubman pick him up and just sat on his lap. Soon enough the movie started and the children started shouting loudly.

Ishan also shouted at certain scenes while enjoying the movie meanwhile Shubman just held his waist tightly and not at all focusing on the movie. His whole focus was onto the Rohan guy. He will teach him a lesson.

---

Shubman did. He taught the lesson to the poor 14 yrs old child only because he was close to Ishan.

The boy probably wouldn't even know what was his fault.

Shubman was acting like a maniac at this point. Making the dogs bite at Rohan all over his thigh areas only because he let Ishan sit on his lap once.

All the children were playing when they saw the scene unfold in front of them. Nobody knew how it happened.

Poor Rohan was injured badly as the elders took him to infirmary.

The scene was gruesome that's why a fee children started crying.

Including Ishan who was sniffling in Shubman's arms. His face buried on Shubman's chest who was shushing him.

"Shub he was hurt so badly," Ishan muttered, his lower lip wobbling.

"It's okay jaan, he will be okay. Don't cry, everything is fine now." Shubman hummed swaying the child in his arms.

Ishan snuggled more too shook by the scene, the blood, those bites, the screams of Rohan. It was all too much for his brain.

He was shaken up badly by that gruesome scene that's why he didn't even noticed how Shubman had a smile on his face instead of remorse.

Hurting a small child out of jealousy, Shubman was far gone from being a good boy.

But did he cared? Not at all.

---

3 years were gone in a snap.

It was the day which Shubman hated the most. He turned 18 just yesterday so today he will be gone. Out of this orphanage. Leaving his 13 yrs old bestfriend alone in there.

Shubman wanted to take Ishan with him but he couldn't. Shubman was bewildered. Why couldn't he take his Ishan with him?

Even Ishan loved him back, just listening to all bullshit Shubman fed him. But atleast that kept Ishan still innocent. Ishan didn't even know anything, not even about lip to lip kiss.

Well untill yesterday he didn't. The three elites who Shubman hated to the core were watching an adult rated film and Ishan saw two people kissing in it.

So Ishan asked it about that to Shubman. Shubman just dismissed telling its a normal kiss like those cheek kiss and forehead kisses people do to their loved ones and Ishan believed him.

Ishan was too sweet and cite that he believed to anything  Shubman would tell him.

That's why Shubman was scared to leave him alone. What if someone else taught him other things? What if Ishan started liking a girl from the orphanage? He was 13 now and in one or two years he will be hitting his puberty, what if somebody made him watch porn just like what happened with shubman?

Shubman could never. That's why he made a self promise to visit Ishan atleast once a week so Ishan would never feel alone and make other friends.

And Shubman could tell his Dii to adopt Ishan, she was of 23 now so she can adopt right. After getting home he will try his best to persuade his sister.

He would do anything to keep Ishan with him.

Ishan jumped on Shubman breaking his train of thoughts.

"Don't go," Ishan whined for the nth time. Shubman sighed pecking his forehead.

"If I could I would have stayed here forever." Shubman muttered.

"Then stay," Ishan shook his head not letting Shubman get up when a guard came to pick up his packed bags.

"Ish baby, my dii came. I need to go, please don't make it more hard for me." Shubman scowled while holding Ishan in his arms and getting up.

He walked with Ishan who was holding his shirt tightly and his legs tightly wrapped around Shubman’s waist.

"Jaan atleast give me a proper goodbye," Shubman murmured when they stood at the gates.

Ishan pulled away and stood on his feet while looking at Shubman with tearful eyes.

"No baby don't cry I can never see you cry jaan." Shubman quickly wiped his tears kissing Ishan all over his face.

Ishan sniffled hugging him.

The guard sighed putting Shubman's suitcase beside them and walked inside.

"I will miss you so much,"

"I will miss you too jaan. I promise I will come to meet you every weekend."

"Promise?" Ishan looked at him.

"Crocky promise," Shubman smiled locking their fingers.

Ishan smiled through tearful eyes and kissed his cheek.

Shubman smiled kissing him back.

"Don't forget me Ish, I want to be your only bestfriend forever."

"I would never Shub,"

"I love you Ish," Shubman shouted when he saw Ishan walking inside.

Ishan smiled waving at him.

Shubman sighed turning around to pick up his suitcase. But before he could a pair of small hands wrap around him making him look at Ishan who came back to him.

Ishan pulled Shubman by his collar kissing him.

Shubman was taken aback for a second. Ishan was kissing him on the lips.

Ishan just rested his lips against Shubman's as shown in the movie. He loved Shubman and as Shubman said people who love each other do it so Ishan thought to do it too.

But it didn't felt right. He felt uneasy when their lips met. Ishan slowly tried to pull away but he was immediately against the wall as Shubman moved his lips against Ishan's.

A squeal left Ishan's mouth as he tries to push him but Shubman didn't. Instead he bit on Ishan's lip making it bleed only for Shubman to lick the blood.

Gross. Uneasy. Uncomfortable.

Ishan pushed him away and looked at Shubman for a few seconds before running inside the building.

"Shubman!" A voice shouted before Shubman could follow Ishan.

Shubman looked at the source only to find his sister. He couldn't follow back Ishan.

PRESENT

"What are you doing here?" Mayank looked at Abhishek in disbelief.

"Why? Can't I even come here?" Abhishek scoffed clicking the door shut.

Today was Mayank's engagement. They were already in the venue.

Sara getting ready in bride's room while Mayank got ready in groom's room.

Guest were supposed to start coming after 2 hours.

Mayank's dad went to Mr Tendulkar to discuss something when Mayank was ready. So Mayank was just sitting on the chair touching up his hair, his hand still in his hair as he saw Abhishek entering inside sneakily.

"No..it's my room. Guest are supposed to wait outside," Mayank muttered.

"So that's what I am now? Just a guest huh?" Abhishek glared at him walking towards Mayank.

"Isn't that what you  are Mr Sharma? You just helped dad by saving his business, so you are dad's guest." Mayank replied. He was still hurt by the way Abhishek ignored him.

"I am not talking about that Mayank. I am asking you, what am I to you?"

"Nothing, you were the one who told me you could never be my friend. So we are nothing but strangers,"

"That's because I can't bear to be your friend. I don't want to be just your friend. How can I be your friend when all I want to do is pull you into my lap and kiss you till you melt in my arms?"

"I..."

"Sweetie, you make me want things I never wanted before.

I was dumb, so it took me sometime to digest how much I lo— like you. But I can't see you becoming somebody else's. I can't bear to lose you. So please don't call me your stranger or a friend."

Mayank was stunned. He didn't knew what to do. The intensity of his feelings for Abhishek was growing, like a balloon swelling up in air and all Mayank wanted was to just float away. Like a balloon does in air.

He needed to control his crush but how when his crush himself just came all the way to Delhi to propose him.

"D-dont please don't Abhi,"

"Why sweetie? Please accept me I swear I will take care of everything else. Your dad? this marriage? I will easily take care of it. Just give me a chance."

"No Abhi, I can't. I can't betray my dad. There is a reason why I kept my sexuality a secret." Mayank muttered shaking his head.

"Then what about me? Don't you like me as well? Will you really leave me like that?"

"You already left me Abhi, you did. When I was coming back to Delhi you didn't wanted to do anything with me. So we were long over. You can't guilt trip me like that,"

"I was a fool, I am still a fool but please just one chance."

"No abhi, we can't. I am getting engaged to someone and then I will be marrying her." Mayank fiddled with his hands not noticing how Abhishek opened the door and left it a bit ajar.

"But you don't  love her sweetie, you would never love her." Abhishek whispered walking towards Mayank and pulling him out of his chair.

"Maybe I won't, but I can live with it." Mayank shrugged not daring to look at Abhishek.

"Yeah you can live without love for the rest of your life? Is that what you want?"

Mayank nodded his head wordlessly.

"Then let me love you one last time." Abhishek asked and Mayank widened his eyes.

"It will take 10-15 minutes for your dad to come. I just want 5 minutes sweetie, can't you let me love you just for one last time?" Abhishek murmured pulling Mayank in his embrace.

"Only 5 minutes," Mayank said, his resolve breaking as he hugged back Abhishek.

"Only 5," Abhishek whispered pulling him in for a kiss.

Which was their last kiss, Mayank thought.

But only if he knew, how much of devils both the bestfriends could become just to get what they want.

A/n :: A small scene which popped into my mind. Please read it

"Yeah Do you want my cock Ish? Do you want me to fuck your pussy? Are you nice and wet for me?"

" Stop that! Just shut up," Ishan grunted but unlike his words he was eagerly bouncing onto Shubman's fingers.

"So you don't want my cock?" Shubman smirked pulling out his fingers from Ishan's ass leaving Ishan whining beneath him.

"What are you playing at Shub? Stop offending me like that or I will punch you seriously," Ishan growled.

"You don't look very offended to me jaan, and why would you be offended anyways? If you aren't a homo but want a cock in you, that makes you a woman, doesn't it? It's only logical."

I was just thinking about this one idea where Shubman fucks the homophobia out of Ishan and this scene popped into my mind so I wrote it.

Oh and by the way there ain't any sexual assault or rape and Shubman didn't forced anything to Ishan. Both gave consent to fuck.

It's just that Ishan likes cock but hates to admit he is gay. That's why Shubman takes matters into his own hands. And makes him fall in love wid him.

So how is it? Any reviews?
