It's been ages, I know 🙈 I'm actually doing an assignment at the moment and for some reason decided to procrastinate by writing a drabble in like 2 minutes. Apologies if it's too bad, I've lost my touch :(

"Shivaay, dude, what's that on your hand?"

At his friend's question, Shivaay raised his hand and examined his forearm. A smile crept up his lips. That part of his skin was covered in ink marks, with silly doodles to cringy-cute stuff like "Annika and Shivaay Forever". 

Coming closer, Shivaay's friend too looked at the pen scribblings.

"What the f*uck?" He asked, confused. "Annika did all of that...on your arm?"

"Yep," Shivaay replied simply, his mind wandering off to when he had gone to visit her in her college in between classes and she had drawn away on his arm while he told her about his day so far. Studying in different universities was hard, but they made most of whatever time they got together.

"And you...let her?" His friend continued, making Shivaay come back to the present. 

"Why wouldn't I?" Shivaay asked, confused. He couldn't imagine denying his Annika anything.

"But...why..."

"Because it makes her happy," Shivaay said firmly as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. His friend stood scratching his neck, still deeply confused. Shivaay smiled. One wouldn't understand until they fell in love.
