- news for ze gays .It was the last headline that made Ishan Kishan burst out laughing , laughing like crazy in midnight that is until his roommate Shreyas wacked him with a pillow and told him to stop laughing like a 'psycho ' and go to sleep .
"Hay bhagvan, krupya aap Ishan ko uska aashiq vaapis de do , nahi toh uske saath saath hum sab bhi paagal ho jayenge " he muttered sleepily. This caused Ishan to laugh more.
"Pagal bihari sala "
"so jaa Iyer , so jaa"

He didn't see Shubman till the match , but when he did he felt to go crawl in a hole and die , why ?Because Shubman ignored him , he didn't even look at him or even acknowledge him . Just outright ignorance .
Even rival players and teams of the Indian team weren't subjected to this kind of behaviour during international matches . But Ishan got ignored in a fcking IPL match of all things.
Even when he got stumped out by Ishan ,Shubman didn't give a single reaction, didn't even bother looking at Ishan . He just clenched his hand tighter around the bat and walked away giving the bowler a brief smile of good sportsmanship.
Even the bowler who Shubman didn't even personally know got more intention then Ishan .
Ishan simmered with rage at what he believed to be injustice .
How dare he , how did he even have the sheer audacity to ignore him.
Did he truly not care ? Was their friendship never real ? Did their separation not hurt him even a little ?
What did not occur to Ishan was that maybe just maybe the separation hurt too much , to even look at him without getting heart wretched .
Ishan was angry and the poor batsmen of MI had to face his wrath as he ruthlessly got them out with steeled determination to win . It was his way after all of channeling his anger , by diverting his everything towards the game he loved .
Later he also took out his anger on the ball as he hit it repeatedly with his bat , ignoring everyone's watchful gaze . He got lost in the game , the one thing he loved that wouldn't betray him .
Right now on the field he got rid of his emotions , later in the room he would cry .
It was safe to say that Rohit despite winning and Ishan getting man of the match was concerned , deeply concerned about Ishan's well being ,and so was Hardik as well
They knew that Shubman and Ishan being around each other , would be the cause of pain for the both of them .Yet what could both the captains do , they were helpless , they couldn't stop MI Vs GT matches after all .

Ishan didn't stay long at the after party , his teammates understood that he was going through some personal crisis and didn't force him to either .
He made his way to the terrace of the hotel , eager to get some fresh air .
His heart skipped a beat as irrational thoughts flooded his mind .
There standing there by his lonesome leaning on the rail , looking out was Shubman Gill .
Shubman , Shubman , SHUBMAN. He heart chanted like crazy .
His eyes widened however at the sight of a cigarette in Shubman's hand . How could Gill do this ?
Shubman turned around and their gazes met and everything stopped.
Time paused and the world faded away , it was only them . Them .
They looked at each other and if not just for a moment , all that they kept hidden in their hearts became known . The pain , the sorrow , the desperation, the love . Everything .At that moment staring into Ishan's doe eyes , Shubman felt like he would burn the world if Shubman asked him too. He would leave everything behind , give up everything if he asked him to , he would be on his knees begging for forgiveness , for mercy on his heart if he asked him to.
He would do anything if Ishan asked him to . Anything to be beside him , to hold him , to love him , to kiss him , to fck him .
His eyes widened as he realised that he was having inappropriate thoughts about his former bestfriend.
He willed himself to look away , and began to head for the exit . Yet every step walking away was painful , like glass shards piercing into his foot .
Ishan's heart lurched as he saw Shubman leaving , he had to stop him and he had to stop him quick.
" Since when did you start smoking , don't you know it's dangerous for your health ."
Shubman stopped in his place not daring to even look back , for he knew if he did he wouldn't be able to control himself .
"I traded an old addiction of mine , for a new one "
Shubman was gone , and so was Ishan's strength to resist his silent tears .
Shubman slid down against the balcony door on the other side , hands clutching his hair .
He threw the cigarette away , thankfully he wasn't addicted yet considering this was the first time he tried one and failed miserably ( he hated the smoke and the smell ).
He tried to replace his feelings with smoke , tried to replace his old addiction with a new one but failed miserably for the old addiction still prevailed .
Ishan was a drug , dangerous thoughts about him were a drug and Shubman was an addict . A complete gone case .
Ishan's mere presence was enough for him to lose his senses and forget about the world , his mere touch was enough to Shubman intoxicated .
The two cried silent tears that night each on either side of the balcony door unaware of the others presence .
Their emotions were an open book, but they just couldn't translate the language it was written in .

Someone give them some sense and a translator
I m currently wondering how much angst is too much angst ..
