HEART'S KNOWN

GLIMPSE OF HEART'S INSIDE

"God damn! Just how much ro has to hug him? Always playing then suddenly.......hug? What the hell!?"

You must be wondering what is happening here? Nothing, just daily drama of vice captain Virat Kohli getting jealous of everyone who is hugging mahi bhai and jasprit bumrah being the witness of this.

Jassi look at virat for a moment before sighing as he says "why do you always have to be jealous? He is others brother too"

"I didn't said I see him as my brother"

Jassi look at virat who counter back at him then went to argue with Rohit while hugging mahi as mahi just chuckle at both of them making jassi mutter to himself.

"then what do you see him as............papa?"

Jassi look at all three of them before going inside.

"why do you mean by? I was just hugging mahi bhai"

"but why so many times? One hug is enough for a day"

"say that to yourself"

Rohit and virat who are sharing room together this week can't help but to argue with each other since virat has been taunting rohit continuously about him hugging mahi more than one time.

"God! Why do you have to be jealous like this?"

"like what!?"

"like..........like a lover! What will happen when mahi bhai will get a lover or when he will be married? He is not your possession, okay? He is everyone's brother, not only yours?" Rohit half yelled as he rub his forehead before going to shower, leaving virat alone on his bed with his thoughts.

Virat look at the ceiling while still being in thoughts as he felt rohit laying on the other bed with his back towards virat........must be sleeping now.

He went to shower to relaxes his muscles before his mind rewind all the talk of day while he stand under the shower.

"like a lover!"

"what will happen when mahi bhai will get a lover or when he will married?"

"he is not your possession, okay"

"why do you always have to be jealous?"

"he is everyone's brother, not only yours?"

"he is other's brother too"

"I didn't said I see him as my brother"

Virat sighed out loudly as he come out of shower after wearing his clothes. He glance at rohit before going out of the hotel, leaving his phone back as he thought he will come back soon.

.......

Mahi opened his eyes when he felt something heavy above him making him groan out in protest until he saw a person's silhouette above him. He was about to shout but then the person mumble out as he lean closer to mahi making mahi stop but his eyes widen in surprise.

"mahi bhai"

"cheeku!! What are you doing here in middle of the night? You should-"

Dhoni was about to ask more but his nose caught a certain smell coming from his cheeku as he ask virat sternly.

"virat, did you drink?....................I asked you something virat, are you drunk?" Despite the sternness in his voice, virat only giggled as he said back to mahi in slur speech, though mahi still understood what he said.

"I......I...love you mahi......mahi bhai"

Mahi understood that virat is too drunk to even comprehend so he only nodded to virat before saying it back.

"I love you too kiddo"

"I 'm not kiddo,'m a mature 'oy" Mahi definitely didn't understood what virat said as look at virat with done face before his eyes widen when he felt warm lips against his own.

'what the hell!' Mahi thought to himself as he felt virat moving lips against his own while he tries to push virat away but no use, it only made virat more angry as he pinned both of mahi's arm above his head.

Mahi gasped at this action before he felt something warm invading his mouth making him squirm. Despite the situation, one thing is sure that as much as inexperienced mahi is to these things, virat is double more experienced to these.

Dhoni, who has never experienced this type of kissing can't help but to close his eyes at the sensation as he felt a shiver run down his spine when virat moved his lips to mahi's neck while harshly biting here and there.

Virat didn't stop until he felt his mahi bhai's whole neck is covered with his mark.

"not a 'ddo"

Mahi felt virat losing his grip on his arm as he free himself from virat's grasp before virat fell above him making mahi directly hide his face in virat's neck as he smell Virat's cologne.

Mahi pushed virat beside him with all his strength as he cursed inside his mind 'damn his obsession with gym'. It was all silent until virat hugged mahi again while he tightly gripped on mahi's waist as if mahi will run away from here making him look at virat.

He look at virat with blank face before he sighs out in defeat as he rubbed his neck which is sore now including his wrist of both hands. He look at his red wrist making him remember the incident of few minutes ago and the sensation he felt as he shiver while feeling his body heat up.

No, no way in hell he is blushing just because a man, his one of the kiddo, his cheeku kissed him. But what the main question occurs here is............why did cheeku did this?

And mahi being mahi thought this is not something cheeku can do on his own, his cheeku respects him more than he can ever imagine so he is sure cheeku won't do it even if he is too drunk...........though he did, didn't he?.....................Or maybe because he thought mahi is someone else? Yeah, that must be the reason.

Thought he is still angry at virat for drinking cause what if he was someone else and had took advantage of Virat's drunk mind?

NEXT DAY

Mahi got up before virat as he stretched his limbs before walking out of the bed after struggling out of Virat's grip as he went to brush his teeth sleepily.

He look at the mirror before taking his brush until his mind slowly realised something as he again look at mirror only to find himself coaxing to not shout or scream. His neck is completely filled with red and purple marks until he could see and heck! Why didn't he notice that yesterday!?

If mahi wasn't angry yesterday then he definitely is today as he touch the mark only to hiss in pain.

"fuck! That hurts" Mahi mutter out before going to shower.

"did the sun rise from our head today?"

"what is happening there?"

"I don't know but I think something must have happened" Yep, something must have happened otherwise, mahi? Ignoring virat? Shouldn't the world be ending by now? But still rohit has to agree with jassi cause there is no way mahi bhai would avoid his cheeku and seeing how mahi bhai is avoiding virat while virat looking completely clueless and confused, there must be something serious happened. Beside one question..............why is mahi bhai wearing turtle neck T-shirt in summer?

Rohit look at mahi who completely ignored virat, who come in front of him as mahi just walk pass virat making virat expression more down as he look like, he is about to cry. Rohit was about to get up to walk to virat but before that virat already ran behind mahi making rohit Sigh exhaustingly..................guess a big news is coming soon.

Seeing Virat completely normal since he didn't remember about yesterday, mahi couldn't help but to get angry as there the person who did this is living peacefully while here he is wearing a turtle neck in summer.

He decided to completely avoid Virat.................until he found himself trapped in the corner of empty cafeteria by none other than, virat kohli as his cheeku.

"mahi bhai, had I did something wrong?"

***************************

REMINISCENCE OF NIGHT

Mahi felt his head going to burst from anger as he look at the boy with same height staring at him nervously.

"did something? You say, what did you do yesterday?"

He look at virat who was is currently making face while pressuring his brain but in the last he looked defeated as mahi took a deep breathe and again asked.

"where were you going yesterday?"

"to........drink?" virat said hesitantly as he watch mahi trying his best to control his anger. Damn! He must have did something bad, very bad otherwise mahi and anger are south and south, always repelling from each other not attracting.

"after that where were you going?" Virat closed his eyes for a second before opening it in happiness as he exclaimed.

"to you? I remember trying to find your room and I did, didn't I? I am just too much intelligent" Virat exclaimed back in happiness but he didn't notice mahi's surprised eyes as mahi again questioned him.

"you were coming to me? You were not thinking about anyone else?" virat sighed in relief as he chuckled while answering.

"how can I think of anyone else when you are the one who occupy my mind 24/7"

Mahi blinked before he open his mouth to say something but someone opened the door as jassi came inside.

"virat bhai, Rohit bhai and others are calling for you and mahi bhai, you have a phone call"

"coming" Virat went happily while jassi just keep looking at mahi bhai before he also followed virat. He knew jassi's eyes were flickering over both of them but mahi was too much in shock to even say anything.

"finding me. Last night............he was thinking of me.......not of anyone else but me.........." Mahi mutter to himself as he went back to his room.

"how can I think of anyone else when you are the one who occupy my ming 24/7"

"how can I think of anyone else?"

"anyone else"

Mahi took another turn in his bed as he sighed out in defeat, knowing fully well, he isn't going to have any sleep tonight. He couldn't help but to think why him? Does virat wanted to kiss him?......................maybe virat took his admiration towards mahi as something else?..............but then why would he be so carefree? Maybe it was just a stupid dare......yeah, it must be a dare and virat might had needed guts for that so he thought of drinking....yeah, this must be.

Of course, mahi knows it is a lie.............a lie to keep his heart within limit and his mind calm................which didn't work for both of them. Though it is enough for now until it won't happen again or something like that won't happen again. It is lucky that he got his own room not the shared one with others.

Beside he should keep his mind empty for the sake of tonight's dinner where they all will be eating together and he is going to face virat again. It is not like virat will remember yesterday's night...................or will he?

.....................ARGH!! why is he thinking about this so much? Just forget it as a mistake?............yeah, a mistake.

"you were coming to me?"

"you were not thinking about anyone else?"

'I must had did something otherwise he wouldn't had asked these questions'

Virat thought about mahi's shocked face as he tries to remember about yesterday's night before his attention got caught by Rohit and jassi. Jassi was sitting on the chair while rohit was standing beside and listening to Jassi's talk as he lean down to peck on jassi's forehead making jassi's ears red before he again went back to continue talking nonchalantly making Rohit snicker.

'God! They two are going to mistaken for couple. Always kissing jassi' Virat scoffed as he again went to rewind yesterday's page until a certain thing caught his attention.

'always kissing each other'

'kissing'

'kiss'

"I.......I....love you mahi........mahi bhai"

"I 'm not a kiddo.'m a mature 'oy"

"not a 'ddo"

"fuck.......I.....just didn't"

Rohit look at virat who was whispering to himself until his widen and crybaby look came on his face as virat ran outside making rohit get up, he whispered something to jassi before going behind virat.

"V"

"what........what happened?" He notice virat flinch as he look at rohit nervously making rohit's heart clench as he went to virat and hugged him without any reason.

"what happened V? And don't say nothing cause something has happened and you aren't going anywhere before telling me" Rohit threatened before breaking the hug as he look at virat who eyes where glued at the ground making him sigh.

"what happened to the 'so called cheeku' who is always ready to talk, anytime, anywhere?" Rohit asked as virat answered.

"he fall in love"

"and...........who is that lucky person?" Rohit asked teasingly as virat look away before saying.

"mahi bhai is angry at me......I.....I was drunk last night.........I went to find mahi bhai.........and.........." And he does not need to say anymore as Rohit look at virat wide eyed before he breathe out.

"is that why mahi bhai is wearing turtle neck?" Virat didn't said anything but he didn't even deny it as Rohit face-palm before asking saying or more like asking.

"and you didn't remember the night until now...............you........you love mahi bhai............not like a brother?" Virat look at rohit before whispering out.

"I don't know......I.....I have never behaved like this before nor felt like this" Rohit notice Virat's confusion as he Sigh out while smiling. What could he do other than smiling when he has a best friend who first time fall in love and don't even know about it? He just pat on Virat's shoulder before saying.

"maybe you should confront mahi bhai rather than avoiding this talk...........not for the team but for yours and mahi bhai's sake too"

Rohit then went inside as he prayed to the god to make it good for everyone's sake since the least he could do is advice virat as it is upto virat to listen to the advice or not.

The only thing he could hope for is mahi bhai's and virat's happiness as he don't want to think what will happen if the 'sun of ICT' virat and 'pillar of ICT' mahi bhai, will break down?

****************************

MISTAKE

Virat's pov.

After using too much of my intelligent brain I decided to confront mahi bhai............OK, maybe after getting courage but for now I will just go for dinner. Should I even confront him? What if he again avoid me? What if-

"hey virat, come" I didn't even realize when I came inside the cafeteria, guess my head was too much in-

"you are on time, mahi bhai"

Mahi bhai, would he even like me after this? Does he hate me now? Is that why he was avoiding me? Just by thinking of mahi bhai hating me I felt a lump in my throat as I didn't even realise I was staring at him openly until someone tap on my shoulder making me turn around.

"ro"

"stop thinking for a while V. Overthinking is never good and never will be specially in your case, so let's eat dinner so that your mind will be fresh enough to think correctly"

"hmm" As much as I wanted to retort back, I didn't cause I didn't wanted to take attention of people here as me and Rohit sir together.

We were eating until I notice Rohit didn't ate much making me look at him with confusion but he was too busy staring behind me as I also turned around to look at the scene only to feel my brain on fire.

Mahi bhai, jassi and hardik are sitting together while hardik, who has finished his food, has put his both arms around mahi bhai and jassi who are eating while laughing as jassi nodded to something which hardik said while chuckling..........but first of all........HOW DARE HE PUT HIS ARM ON MAHI BHAI'S SHOULDER!!..........MAHI BHAI'S SHOULDER IS MINE. HIS EVERY INCH IS MINE AND ONLY MINE-

"V.....V are you okay"

"eh?"

"what eh? You are about to break that tilted spoon, leave it before you break it"

I didn't even realised it. I was too much angry to even tilt a spoon............WOW!! The gym is working, good.

I watch, as mahi bhai get up to leave after eating making me get up too. Rohit was about to protest but I shut him up by saying I don't want to eat now before I went to follow mahi bhai to the empty balcony.

He is leaning against the railing while the moon light is making his face shine as a gentle smile come on his face after the breeze of air touched his skin. I am very much afraid of being the cause of his gentle smile becoming broken one but having no other choice except confrontation, I went to him silently before calling out softly so that his relax bubble won't burst despite knowing it will be burst soon.

"mahi bhai"

"cheeku?"

"you-"

"what are you doing here? Go eat, we have to sle-"

"mahi bhai, do you hate me?" I asked him.......at last I asked him but I couldn't look into his eyes as I looked away only to get a shocking answer.

"no, I don't hate you cheeku"

"but why?"

".............it's okay cheeku, everyone makes mistake and I know you remembered that's why you came here so............just don't make this mistake with anyone else"

I was too much in shock to even comprehend that he left as the only thing that going on in my mind is.........'MISTAKE'. He thought it was a mistake.........he think my love is mistake.......Love? Since when? Is it true, what ro said that I love him..........but he don't....he thinks it was a mistake.......he-

"V"

A gentle voice pulled me out of the trance as I notice rohit standing in front of me with concern fully visible on his face. He raised his hand towards my face before wiping out the tears.........tears? I didn't even comprehend I was crying silently till now. I rubbed my eyes as Rohit look at me before asking.

"what happened V-"

I know I should let him ask but I just couldn't, I need support and the only one who can give me support in this situation is Rohit. I hugged him tightly making him stumble back but he still catches on as he also hugged me back and this time no one said anything, he just rubbed my back gently like he is handling a wounded puppy..........

"I confront him..............he said it was.......it was a mistake......he said my love is mistake..............he called my love mistake, ro"

...........or maybe he is. I vulnerable my voice is but I couldn't bring myself to step up as I just broke down in front of ro who look at me for a second before he grabbed my cheeks and then look at me seriously while asking.

"does he know you love him?" I just shake my head as I didn't wanted to talk, not like rohit mind even, he just continue asking.

"then tell him first"

"he don't ro.......he......he think of me as kid........he won't-"

"there is a saying....................'love Can't be gained until you fight for it' and it's true.............I can't explain you this until you yourself don't do it, so go one V, show him that you love, that it is not a mistake, that you don't see him just as a inspiration, that your aren't a kid, that you don't want to be his kid..........show him! Show him that love can never be a mistake and it can never be even. If you truly love him V, then fight for it......cause people in your surrounding may accept you but society..............................actions always speaks louder than words so don't explain him but show him.............."

"Virat bhai" We both turn around to find jassi standing there in shock as I blinked before noticing our position of Rohit leaning against the railing while his hands grabbing my cheeks.............

"I....I am sorry" He must have misunderstood otherwise he wouldn't had ran away.......by the way why did rohit ran behind him?

Forget it! I should focus on this first.........Mistake you said mahi bhai, I will show you..........my love for you can never be a mistake and never will be even.

I have only loved you and always will be even and you have to accept it no matter what, either by hook or crook.............eh! I mean I will make you accept it by love, yeah love..............what the fuck! Do I have split personality disorder? Why was I thinking of kidnapping him? I should seriously eat, maybe it is my brain having illusions.

Virat's pov. End
