"Sometimes we need someone to simply be there...Not to fix anything or do anything in particular, but just to let us feel we are supported and cared about."
Here goes nothing.
Parth was completely focused on Madhav's face, studying his every move. His stare was like a focused laser on Madhav. The longer it is there the more it burns Madhav's skin. Madhav sighed and looked at Parth instantly looking down as their eyes met.
"Well, I do have to tell you something. I have never talked about this to anyone not even my sister and parents." said Madhav and he looked again towards Parth. He said nothing but his posture told Madhav to go on.
"I don't know how to tell you this but..." Madhav takes a deep breath. "I am gay." As soon as the words were out of Madhav's mouth some kind of invisible weight was lifted up from his chest. He felt lighter and relived. But this lasted just for a moment, then the horror rushed through his body. He was horrified, Parth was still muted. Madhav moved his eyes towards Parth's face, he was confused. He had expression on his face saying what does that word mean? Madhav realized that Parth doesn't know the meaning of being gay. Madhav prepared himself once more to speak his truth.
"I like boys, I don't like girls." said Madhav and this time he was looking directly at Parth. Parth seemed to understand this time, his expression changed from confusion to repulsive and then none at all.
Just say something brother. Please I just shared my secret.
Madhav waited for Parth's reply but he said nothing. But then he started moving towards the bed and he laid down. Madhav was just standing there like an idiot thinking what has he done.
"So, Prabh also. That is why Madhav and Prabh." Parth said in a whisper to himself. Then it hit Madhav, he just outed Prabh without him knowing. Madhav eyes glittered, he was gloomy and was thinking why he opened his mouth. He just took away the choice of Prabh to come out with his own free will.
Madhav was lying down, his phone vibrated. He unlocked his phone and saw many of Prabh's messages.
"It was fun. I really like you *heart emoji*."
"?"
"Is everything alright? I am really worried."
"Please reply. Have I done something."
Then Madhav replied.
"It's nothing, Parth had hidden my phone. I was looking for it." he lied. He did not want to tell him over phone.
"I really like you as well." it was pure truth this time.
"Good night *Kiss emoji*." replied Prabh.
"Yeah, good night." sent Madhav, he put his phone down and instantly fell asleep. He was so tired from everything that has happened today.
Next morning Madhav woke up, Parth was not on his bed. He must have gone to fileds. Madhav wanted to talk to him and clarify everything.
I hope Parth haven't told anyone about me. Only thing I can do is just hope.
Madhav went for breakfast and was relieved to know everyone was normal. Parth haven't told anyone yet. After finishing his breakfast and asked mamiji about Parth. She said Parth had some work in the fileds and will come home later in the noon. Madhav had really nothing to do. He was just sitting in his room thinking about how drastically things changed in just one day. He kissed a boy who he loved; he came out to his brother. Then he received a notification on his phone. He checked and it was a message from Prabh.
"Hey, come to ground. Parth and I are here." he had said. Madhav almost got a heart attack. Parth was with Prabh.
What should I do? Parth must have told him.
Madhav rushed towards the ground and they both were there sitting in shade. They were talking and when Madhav arrived they stopped. Madhav was feeling guilty, Parth hadn't spoken to him since yesterday and Prabh will hate him. Parth and Prabh both got up, Madhav was just standing there doing nothing.
"He told me everything." said Prabh and Madhav's heart dropped. He wanted to hide, bury himself. He did not have the power to face Prabh's hostility towards him. But the thing that happened next, Madhav hadn't expected. Prabh held Madhav's hand and pulled him closer to him. He kissed him on cheeks and they both heard a groan. It was Parth making weird noised and expressions.
"Oh god please, if I am okay with you guys doesn't mean you guys are allowed to be all lovey dovey in front of me." said Parth covering his eyes. Prabh laughed, Madhav had no idea what was happening.
"But I thought you were not happy." said Madhav. He was barely able to speak. Parth giggled.
"I was playing you." replied Parth barely controlling his laugh. Madhav gave a demanding expression to Prabh who was laughing at him and he shrugged still giggling.
"I was pretty sure that you liked boys, Madhav." said Parth. "At the end of the day, I am your brother and I know you since birth. I just wanted you to tell me." Madhav was coming back to his senses and he punched Parth. *Ouch*
"Don't ever do that to me again." shouted Madhav. Parth nodded while rubbing his shoulder where Madhav had hit him.
"Although, I have to admit I would never have suspected you Prabh." said Parth.
"Me too. It's just him." Prabh held Madhav's hand. "When I first saw him, I was instantly drawn to him." This made Madhav blush and he was a red as a tomato. They were both looking at each other. Madhav was happy, Prabh had same feeling towards him that he had towards Prabh.
"Ok guys I will just go from here right now." said Parth awkwardly and he left.
It was just him and Prabh now. They both were just admiring each other, Madhav was feeling relived. He was on cloud nine.
"I am sorry..." Madhav was not able to complete his sentence as Prabh's lips pressed against his. It was a lovely peck and then Prabh backed up. They were out in open, they ought to be careful.
"Don't worry, Parth is one of the best people out there." said Prabh and Madhav could not agree more with that.
"You are the best thing that has happened to me." said Madhav. Prabh smiled and came closer to him. He leaned towards Madhav and whispered to his hear.
"And you are mine." whispered Prabh. Chills ran through Madhav's body as he heard those words.
Yes, I am yours and you are mine.
"Well, I have to go now. I will meet you later." said Prabh and he started moving away. Madhav wanted to say something but he debated if he should or not.
"I love you!" said Madhav at last and Prabh stopped walking.
Oh! Why I said that. It's too soon for that.
Prabh turned around, his eyes filled with joy.
"I love you too." he said and turned around. Madhav was the happiest person on the planet at that moment. He also started moving towards his home. The magical words spoken by Prabh in his musical voice I love you too kept repeating in Madhav's head.
When he reached home, Parth came to him and he wanted to know what happened after he left. Madhav left the major details out and told him nothing special and Prabh will meet him in evening. Madhav was surprised how accepting Parth was, he was truly the best brother and a best friend to him. He could not thank less to God for providing him such a brother.
"Parth, thank you for being such lovely and supportive person." whispered Madhav to himself as he lay on bed.
