"Hey get up... What are you doing?"

Everyone looked at Rhythm and Win and made noise.... August pulled Win up and Win on the lack of support fell on the floor....

"Ahhhh!!!!" he cried

August touched Rhythm's thighs and Caressed his face

"Are you alright?... Does it hurt... He was so heavy and tall why did you let him sit on you render and small legs...?"

"I didn't...he sat on me " Rhythm pouted

"Drink this..I even brought you some snacks.... So you won't feel hungry " he said

Win was looking at them and cringing within himself

"Am I not visible to you ?" ... He added “I’ve been here for almost five minutes but no one of you helped me "

"Exactly you're here for almost 5 minutes but even no one even in the class helped you " August scoffed

"Drink slowly " he said

"I think everyone knows you're a drama queen " Rhythm commented and laughed at Win

Rhythm and August gave a high five to each other and shared the snack... Win looked at them and took a picture of them... Ron came up to them and helped him

"Thank you "he added "at least there are some good people like him too "

"Yeah I've never seen someone as good as him " Rhythm commented and gulped his coffee

"You've not yet seen my bad side Baby"

Ron scoffed and took his coffee and drank it

"Hey that's his "August said

"I don't care .... What belongs to him is mine too "

Ron said and went away , Rhythm frowned at him

"What's up with him? Why is he always picking up a fight with you ?

Win asked

"Ignore him... He's always like this... Stealing things from me and then he whines that I'm copying and taking his things...." Rhythm said and concentrated on his snacks

"By the way I've something for you "

August said and pulled out a key... Rhythm recognised it as his

"My bike "?

"I asked for the garage guy to fix it and bring it here " August Said

Flashback

August work up early and called for the garage mechanic to fix Rhythm's bike since he knew it was in a bad condition... When the mechanic checked it he told August that his bike needs to be repaired and some parts need to be changed ... So August told him to fix it and bring it to the college.

Flashback ends

He hoped to give Rhythm a surprise...

"Then.... I'll pay-

Rhythm took out his wallet to pay August but August stopped him

"If you really want to pay you can bring dinner for me today... But I accept homemade food "August smiled

Rhythm pinched his cheeks

"Of course  I'll bring homemade food for you but I've to pay "

"No... You don't have To "

" I'll "

Rhythm took out a few banknotes but August stopped him

"Okay... Then you buy me something and we're equal " ... "How does that sound ?"

August asked

"But "

"Accept this because I'm not going to take money from you "

Rhythm pouted hearing this ... But He promised August that he'll buy him something

"Then see you at evening " August said

"Evening?"

"Yeah... We've to work on project and your practice too... Don't you want to cope up with everyone ?"

August asked

"Do I have to come to your house everyday?" Rhythm asked

August thought for a moment

"Then I'll come to your house "-

"No.. I'll come at the same time "

Rhythm replied

"Don't be late "

"No Rhythm you're doing it wrong "... August shook his head

"I'm doing it right... You're teaching me wrong " Rhythm whined

"Alright eat this... Then I'll leave you at your house " 

August Fed him stew and Rhythm ate it pouting

"You don't have to leave me everyday" he said

"I can go on my own"

"I've told you many times that I can't let you go alone at this hour "

"I can go "

" We've already done our project and you're able to cope up with everything so I guess you don't have to come here everyday... It's so tiring and exhausting "

August said looking at Rhythm's project and Rhythm stopped eating

"You're really talented you are able to catch up everything so quick"

He pat Rhythm but he can see Rhythm was sulking

" Hey what is it ? Why are you sulking" he asked

"Nothing... I'm leaving" Rhythm picked up his bag

" I'm coming with you"

"No need ... You don't have to do all these for me... It's tiring and exhausting for you right "Rhythm said scoffing

"When did I say that ?" August asked clueless

"You never said that okay... You can now spend your time with Ron ... I won't disturb you two "

Rhythm said and August hold his hand

"Why are you saying this... I thought it's tiring for you everyday and you might be exhausted... Don't take it that way "

Rhythm was still sulking and August pinched his waist

"Don't sulk anymore "

August and Rhythm heard the sound of rain and they looked outside

"Rain .... It's raining !" Rhythm exclaimed

"I've eyes and ear " August commented

"Ouch "

Rhythm stomped on his foot...

"Now how will I reach home ? " he cried

"Call your uncle and say you'll stay here today, simple... " August said

"You can stay here Rhythm this is also your house... I can't give you warmth and love that you feel in your house... But I promise to give you comfort here  " August thought

"Do you have an umbrella?" Rhythm asked

"Even though I've one... I'm not going to lend you any... It's raining cats and dog outside... I'm not letting you go anywhere" August said

"Tell your uncle you'll stay here ... It's not safe..."

"I'm afraid he'll be angry " Rhythm said

"Then give me your cell phone I'll convince him "

August extended his hand and Rhythm pushed him

"Ha-ha thanks but no thanks... " Rhythm frowned

"I'll wait for sometime " Rhythm said

But he looked at the dark clouds and the sounds of thunder... He clutched his pants in fear

"Uncle will kill me today for coming this late ... He doesn't like when I stay here at this hour and  if he knew I'll stay here today... He'll probably scold me " Rhythm thought

August caged him between his arms

"I've been waiting for this night since forever" August replied with a smirk and Rhythm looked at the other direction

"Tonight... You've only me " August whispered and shivers ran down in Rhythm's spine
