9th JULY 2023, RUDRA'S HOUSE (6:30 A.M)
Rudra is lying on his bed, sleeping care free as he has just sold his horses. His earphones are still in his ears, his phone is beside him connected to the earphones. Anyone can tell that this boy was watching a series late at night and fell asleep while watching. Aggh! Normal morning of a BL fan.
When this boy was lost in his sleep, an alarm rings, disturbing this sweet boy's sleep. He turns off the alarm and opens his eyes, he gets up from his bed, plugs his phone on charging, and starts tidying up his room and in the middle of this activity he finds his bag is lacking something "Oh no, where is my keychain? It was already loose, it must have fallen somewhere", after thinking for a while he comes to think that he should ask Ashitesh but there was one problem, the pic on the keychain is of BL couple, but whatsoever, he can't loose that keychain, after all he bought it after saving money for a month. He then goes to Instagram to find Ashitesh's ID after looking for a while he comes across an ID 'ashii_iii' "He's very handsome" a thought came to rudra's mind while looking at the profile picture of that handsome person.
Rudra: Hii! Ashii ☺️ 7 AM
: Rudra this side, Actually I wanted to tell you that I think I have forgotten something at yours.
ASHITESH'S BEDROOM
The next morning after experiencing the worst day of his life, he was sleeping peacefully forgetting all the things that happened yesterday Ashitesh was looking like an angel while sleeping, these beautiful eyelashes, plum lips, a pretty mole on his cheek and bright skin. Oh Gaud! He's so pretty. But only after a minute, a voice knocking on his door was heard. "Beta get up. It's already nine, you have your tuition classes.", Ashitesh's mom exaggerating the time, because it's just seven now.
By hearing the voice of his mum the angel wakes up from his Beauty sleep, "yeah mom!? Getting up."
He then, gets up and checks his phone only to see that he's been fooled, "it's only seven mom, why did you say it's 9?" He lets out a sigh in disbelief.
"Because you told me that you have a test today and you need to revise for it, anyway come downstairs, i found something I think it's yours."
"Oh yeah! I forgot, but I hate maths, i don't know who bit me that i decided to choose PCMB as my subjects last year.", he cried reconsidering his life decisions.
He opens Instagram only to see a message request from someone whom he is trying to avoid. Yes! It is from Rudra. "Oh no! Why?" He thought to himself making a frustrated face. He doesn't want to open the chat but his thumb is doing otherwise.
Rudra: Hii! Ashii ☺️
"Oh my god! The audacity of this boy to call me ashi."
: Rudra this side, Actually I wanted to tell you that I think I have forgotten something at yours. 7A.M
ASHI: Hi, What did you forget? Your last
brain cell?
Rudra: 😂😂😂 *smiling in pain*
: No i do have all my brain cells, the thing that i forgot is my keychain.
ASHI: What keychain?
Rudra: umm... Idk, i mean i do know, if i should tell you or not.
ASHI: And Why can't you tell me?
Rudra: Cause i think you'll judge me.....!?? BTW Will you?
ASHI: Why would i judge? I mean you can trust me i am not the type to judge anyone for their likes and dislikes, except for Mangoes, if you don't like it I'm not talking to you, other than that you can tell me anything.
Rudra: Actually....
ASHI: wait don't tell me you really don't like it.
Rudra: No, that's not it. I was saying that it's a BL Keychain. 7:21 A.M
"No way, he knows about BL, does that mean he could also be gay or bi?", Ashitesh thought to himself in disbelief, "No, it's not necessary, he can like BL even if he's straight."
Rudra: Hello?
ASHI: A BL keychain? You Like BL? You know about BL and you like it?
Rudra: Oh no! I knew it, why did i even tell you?
ASHI: No, you're getting me wrong. I even myself watch BL sometimes, I also like watching BL, but tbh i like reading BL more than watching.
Rudra: wait. What??
ASHI: Yes
Rudra: Like really? Then can i ask you one question about BL?
ASHI: NO! I mean you can, but not right now, right now I'm studying for my test. You can come to my house to take your keychain and then you can also ask me your question. By the way, what's your keychain like? I'll ask my mom, she told me that she found something.
Rudra: Wait You'll ask your mom?
ASHI: Yeah, she knows about it and she is very cool with it, honestly my parents are very chill and supportive.
Rudra: That's very nice. Anyway, it has a couple pic of Kurosawa and Adachi from cherry magic.
ASHI: Really? I love them. Okay then, you can come around 3 PM. I'll be free then.
Rudra: Ok and Thanks.
"So you're telling me he also watches BL?? Naurrr?", Rudra mumbles to himself and suddenly starts screaming 'Yassss'.
ASHITESH'S HOUSE (2 PM)
Ashitesh enters his house dead tired and exhausted with all his tuition classes and above all of that he also scored low in today's test because of yesterday, so he is a little bit frustrated also. He puts his bag on the table and lies on the sofa and closes his eyes.
After a while, a sound of someone ringing his doorbell wakes him up, "Oh no! I didn't even realise that i fell asleep", he thought to himself.
He opens the main door only to see a boy who is smiling very brightly while gazing at the former's face.
"Hello Ashitesh", says Rudra.
"Oh f*ck, how could I forget", Ashi thought to himself, he bites his tongue and closes his eyes and then opens them.
"Hello, why did you come so early?", He asks the boy who is still gazing at his face, he snaps in front of his face.
"Ahh! Well can i come in?", Rudra asks leaving Ashitesh in confusion and without even waiting for his answer he enters the house. Ashitesh is looking at him in disbelief, he lets out a sigh.
"I think I have told you before that your house is very pretty."
"Yeah! Thanks. Umm... Wait here I'll bring your keychain."
"Ah wait, that reminds me of yesterday, can i ask why did you disappear from here, please don't tell me you don't like powers.", Rudra asks Ashitesh out of curiosity.
Ashitesh doesn't want to think about yesterday anymore, yesterday was so frustrating and ridiculous, "I don't think i need to tell you about this, this is personal, we are not close anyway."
The smile on that goofy boy's face disappears as soon as he hears those words from someone whom he really adores but the smile immediately comes back on his lips to beautify him.
"Ouch! That hurts. How could you even say that, we are meant to be together, ahh... i mean you know we came on this earth at the same time, i think we should know each other more."
"I don't think there is any need for this", He bluntly denies the offer of this sweet boy, he didn't even hesitate.
"No. Of course there is a need, we both have super powers, we need to fight evil together."
"Are you sure! You can fight evil? I mean you still act like a 5 year old child.", he gives our boy a 'it's not for you' look.
"Yeah, i know that, but you know what I can also act mature whenever it is needed. By the way do you know your powers?"
"No I'm not interested, and no more questions now first let me bring your keychain."
Ashitesh brings the keychain and hands it over to Rudra.
"Hey Rudra! When did you come beta?", shashi asks while smiling at home.
"Namaste aunty. Just a few minutes ago."
"Ah.. yeah Ashitesh told me you'd come"
"You're going somewhere mom?", Ashi asks in 'please don't leave me alone with him' tone.
"Yes beta, i have some errands to run, I'll be back before 6, if Rudra is here, give him something to eat, ok?", she waves at them and opens the door only to see a girl standing there.
"Oh Dolly beta."
"Namaste Aunty ji*, is ashi at home?", Dolly asks while smiling.
"Yes, he is inside.", she then leaves for her work. Gauri gets inside and closes the door and Ashitesh notices her.
"Hey, when did you come?", Ashi is a little surprised to see Dolly at his home.
"Actually, after what happened yesterday, i was worried, i called you but you didn't answer."
"Yeah, sorry."
"Wait, what happened yesterday? You told her?", Rudra asks in disbelief, he is confused to see dolly here ' why does she look so familiar?' he thought.
"Who is he, Ashi? You told him about yesterday?", Dolly asks Ashitesh with a shocking expression on her face.
'And why is she calling him Ashi, oh no please don't tell me that she is his girlfriend', Rudra is overthinking because he is afraid that Ashi is not single.
"No I haven't told him about yesterday, he doesn't know anything.", says Ashitesh clearing confusion of both the people.
"Ok but who is he? Is he your friend, i never heard of him from you." Dolly still asked in confusion.
"No he's not my friend, he.... Aa..aa..?"
"We met yesterday, it's a long story.", Rudra with a smile on his face but deep down he is still trying not to overthink,
"By the way Ashitesh, did you tell her what happened yesterday?"
Ashitesh is still deciding if he should tell Dolly about his powers or not, "Ah! No okay wait first you both come inside and sit." He then goes to the kitchen to bring water for Dolly while Rudra and Dolly sits on the sofa facing each other, but then she sees a keychain in Rudra's hand and suddenly her rotten mind starts making senseless stories.
"Wait is he gay? Could it be that Aashi is deeply saddened after yesterday's incident, and to capitalize on that sorrow, he called this boy for sex? No Aashi can't do this, it's not right for him, right now he needs us and his parents not sexual intercourse. And why do I feel like I have seen him somewhere, whatsoever, I need to stop this."
"Hii!", Dolly waves at Rudra.
"Hii", he replies Coldly, because he thinks that she is ashitesh's girlfriend but who's gonna tell him?
"Umm can I ask you something, if you don't mind?"
"Yeah sure.", still as cold as before.
"Are you gay.. or bi maybe?", Even she is embarrassed by asking this to a person she barely met.
"What?.. what made you think that? This keychain? For your kind information, even straight people can have a BL keychain.", he says in a tone that seems like he's so offended by her question. Normally he doesn't react this way when someone asks this question to him but dolly is a different case.
"I know that, but very few straight people do and in that too, straight boys are very rare and don't even ask me about Indian straight boys, I don't think they even know the correct meaning of gay."
"Oh my gaud You're so real for this, like they think that being queer is some kind of mental illness."
"I know right?"
"We'll, You're Ashitesh's friend so I think I can trust you, so yes i am", he is a very confident gay, he is very open, if he feels that the other person is safe to tell, he never hesitates.
"Okayy!?!", there was a quite long awkward silence but then Ashitesh comes into the hall holding a glass of water breaking that silence.
'Rudra is gay? But how? I mean i know i also thought that but i didn't expect this to be true.' Ashitesh gives the glass to dolly and sits beside her on the sofa.
"Now clear this confusion please", Dolly tells him to clear this mess because she is afraid if her story is true?
"He is Rudra,", he points at the goof boy " i met him yesterday while coming back home. And she is Dolly, my friend."
After hearing those words from his cutie's mouth he feels like someone has just removed a ton of weight from his chest. He sighs in relief.
"Ooo! A Friend", he mumbles to himself.
"And what was she talking about that happened yesterday?"
"Ahh.. that... that is something different, it is not related to what happened with us, and it's really personal to me, so i hope you understand."
"Yeah, definitely, it's totally fine", but we know he is not, what it is that Ashi doesn't want him to know. 'i know that we are not close but i don't know why I feel bad about it, earlier also he said this', Rudra thought.
"Rudra can I tell her about yesterday? I mean she is my best friend I don't want to keep secrets with her, but only if you are okay with it?", Ashi asks for his permission to tell her about this whole pearl story.
"Of course you can tell her, I'm very okay with this", he says with a bright smile on his face.
Ashi then narrates her the whole story of what happened yesterday.
"What? You both have Super Powers?", Dolly is still trying to process everything, she wants to believe her friend but this is not something which you can believe so easily. Right?
