"Shubi?" Ishan asked.

"Sorry, I just wanted to bring food for you guys as you all didn't came. I knocked at the door too but nobody replied so I barged inside." Shubman explained.

"It's okay" Virat said and gestured him to come inside. A waiter also came inside along with him.

He set the plates for the three of them meanwhile Ishan went inside his bathroom to probably wash his face.

After the waiter was done he just went away leaving Shubman Virat and Rohit inside the room, along with Ishan who was taking a bit more time than usual in the bathroom.

"Uhh bhai can you please tell me what was the faggot thing?" Shubman asked.

"Sorry Shubi but we cannot tell you anything which Ishan doesn't want to tell you about." Rohit replied.

"But I am his best friend. I should be knowing who hurt him and talked to him like that." Shubman said.

"Shub have you eaten dinner?" Virat asked.

"Please don't change the conversation bhai. I am really worried for him."

"Shubi you don't have to be worried for me. See I am fine." Ishan said coming out of the bathroom finally.

"Ishan you don't have to lie to me. I-"

"Hush, stop it Shubi, I am really fine but you know I feel really hungry. Let's eat?" Ishan dismissed him and Shubman clenched his jaw for a second before letting go off the topic.

"Shubi did you ate?" Ishan asked filling his plate with biryani.

"Yeah I already ate before bringing for you guys." Shubman hummed.

Ishan nodded his head before starting to eat.

They all ate in silence while Shubman just stared at them.

Suddenly Shubman's phone dinged. It was an unknown number. He opened the chat and saw a video.

While starting the video the sudden echo of a slap came. Aditi was slapping Ishan.

'Are you out of your mind? Don't you get it I love you. These actions could be nothing for you but do you realize how it can badly affect my mind.

I am really sorry Aditi, I didn't meant to-

You don't mean to what? You don't mean to accept the fact you are a faggot? You don't mean to play with my feelings? You don't mean anything. What do you mean Ishan?'

Ishan's eyes widened as he took the phone from Shubman and replayed the video. It was indeed his and Aditi's video. Aditi slapping him and then their talk.

"This video is of today right?" Shubman asked and Ishan's breath hitched.

"I-I can explain."

"Now you will explain? I have been asking since so long and you weren't even telling me anything. But now you will." Shubman scoffed.

"Shubman mind your tone. If someone doesn't feel like telling anything then we should respect their decision." Virat replied.

"But bhai we always have been sharing everything. He had a fight with Aditi and he is over here crying his eyes out because of that but still he can't share his feelings with me." Shubman said.

"It's not just this, the problem is not the fight. And if Ishan doesn't want to tell you something then give him some time. He will tell you eventually but you need to give him some space." Rohit spoke.

"We should actually focus on how Shubman got the video?" Virat said and Shubman bit his cheek from inside. Rohit's phone also dinged and he took it out.

"It's an unknown number." Shubman said.

"Cheeku check your phone. I also got the video from that number." Rohit said. Virat opened his phone and yeah he was having it too with the same number.

First, how does this person have all of their numbers?

Second, did the other team members got the video too?

Third, why this person is sending this clip to them? It doesn't even show anything.

All of them had the same thing going in their mind.

" I will ask others if they got any message from any unknown number." Rohit said as if reading their minds.

"Some might be sleeping it's late already." Ishan muttered seeing the time.

"Not everyone though, message in the group and ask." Virat said and Rohit hummed.

Nobody was asleep.

Everyone asked about the video being very confused about it.

"Should we ask the head about our numbers being leaked?" Shubman asked and Rohit hummed.

"I will ask them about it tomorrow, I am still not sure about him sending this video though. What could it mean?" Rohit sighed.

"Let's find the person first and we can ask them about it?" Virat said and Rohit nodded his head.

"It's late, we all should sleep. You guys go and rest and I will check on everyone's room to see why are they not sleeping yet." Rohit said at last.

Shubman nodded his head getting into the bed.

"Can I sleep with you guys tonight?" Ishan asked and Shubman stared at him in disbelief.

"What why?" Shubman furrowed his eyebrows.

"You were already tired from playing and then you couldn't even rest because of me. I don't want to disturb you more for tonight. " Ishan explained.

"So only he is tired. We also stayed for more than an hour in the stadium than required running for you. We can't be exhausted? " Rohit raised his eyebrows.

[ Just like the face he once made in ipl time when he was giving a sarcastic comment to his team in dressing room]

"Rohit" Virat shushed him.

"You can come and sleep with any of us whenever you want to, Rohit sleep with Shubman tonight." Virat replied patting Shubman's back.

"Naah Shubman is coming to our room. You sleep with Ishan here only." Rohit shrugged.

"Ro-"

"Bye" Rohit said before Virat could say anything and went out of their room.

"Sorry Shubi, can you go to our room." Virat looked at him apologetically.

"No problem bhai." Shubman said getting up.

"Don't be sad. It's okay, everything is fine." Virat said playfully slapping his crotch.

"If it was then we would not be changing the rooms." Shubman looked at Ishan before walking out of the room.

" Sorry bhai, I just didn't wanted to face him tonight. He surely would have asked me." Ishan mumbled.

"It's all okay kiddo." Virat ruffled his hair and made himself comfortable on the bed.

"I will go and change." Ishan said getting up and Virat hummed his eyes fixed on his phone.

Ishan strolled to his closet and took out a tshirt and shorts.

When he came out of the bathroom he saw Virat laying down on the bed while videocalling Anushka. He smiled slightly before getting on the bed too.

Ishan tried his best to not create noise and disturb Virat but whenever he will slightly move the bed will create noise.

The bed was not creating any noise but it was just Ishan and his overthinking.

When the call ended after a bit of I love yous and good night Virat turned to look at Ishan who was laying in the corner. He definitely looked like he would fall anytime.

Virat sighed draping his arm over Ishan pulling him closer. Ishan squealed at the sudden intrusion. So he was not sleeping.

"Do you want to fall from the bed?" Virat asked and Ishan bit his tongue inside his mouth.

And it clicked to Virat.

"Ishu you don't think we will feel disgusting after knowing you are gay?" He asked and Ishan looked down.

"No it's just how I sleep."

"You are a cuddle monster and we all know that. You will always hug something or someone while sleeping." Virat deadpanned.

"Listen Ishan, first don't lie to me and second I will end up on top of you if you don'tcome closer and sleep like usual." Virat said and Ishan chuckled.

"You are still not coming...3...2-"

Ishan laughed while quickly getting on Virat's side of bed.

Virat chuckled and petted his hair while Ishan draped his hand over Virat.

"Now see was it hard to lay down like usually" Virat snorted.

"Bhai I just didn't wanted to make you uncomfortable. "

"Nonsense. Ishu, stop thinking like that. Nothing has changed okay? We are still the same. You know if you have suddenly came out as a girl disguised as a boy then we might had to do something." Virat muttered. Ishan snorted at that.

And that's how they spent the night away . Without any worry leaving tension for the next morning.
