Soon Rohit with entire team landed in the hospital and started teasing each other as usual. Jaddu and Shikar how they successfully pulled a prank on Rohit and Ash while later were glaring at them. Virat was fulling enjoying this nonsense while clinging to MS and Kuldeep clinging to him. Then started Hardik's tale followed by Yuzi's...hours passed and there was not even a minute when smile left Virat's face. So odd that they never get bored with the presence of each other after travelling together for almost 9 months in a year.

"Why don't we go live on Instagram," Hardik suggested excitedly.

"Ya...ya..do it and that doctor will ban you from hospital permanently." Rohit retorted.

"You are too boring." Complained Hardik disgusted. Rohit didn't care to respond.

*Doorknock* Dr Tani entered.

"Hey, beautiful. Shall I help you?" Hardik said adjusting his hair. He was about to go towards her when he saw Bhuvi, Jassi glaring at him and Mahi Bhai giving him 'Dare you to get up' look.

"Actually Doc... I have some important work now." He said hurriedly taking his phone out.

"It's ok Hardik. I will call you if I need your help in throwing out people who shout in my hospital." She said smiling at his stupid actions because she found them cute for some odd reason.

"But I'm not shouting now," Rohit said offended as Hardik give a thumbs up with a wide grin.

"Trusts me, Mr Sharma... You are just one of many." Dr Tani said rolling her eyes.

"So How are you now feeling Mr Kohli?" She asked with a warm smile as she went forward to check his BP, temperature etc.

"Better...just these body pains are horrible," Virat said with a hiss as she gives him an injection. Kul was clinging to Yuzi with closed eyes the moment injection touched Virat's. Yuzi threw his arms protectively around Kul understanding Kul's fear of injection.

"They would be fine with time. Today we will reduce the sedative dose try to sleep on your own and also you can eat some light foods and soups from tonight." She informed. He was only on drips and salines from the moment he woke up making Virat mouth watered just by the name of food.

"But Sir If he has any trouble just inform the nurse and she would give the sedative but make sure he sleeps... It's very much necessary." She instructed turning towards MS. MS nodded.

"You people are leaving now right?" She asked looking around.

"Can't they just stay?" Virat asked.

"No. They can't." Dr Tani said in a no-nonsense tone.

"We are already braking hospital protocols by letting so many people inside the patient's room. So even you have to cooperate with us. Only two people during sleeping hours." She explained to MS before Virat could protest.

In this short span, she realised Who holds the power to handle these overgrown kindergarten kids, who surprisingly happens to be Superheros of Indian cricket.

"It's ok. They will leave in 5 minutes." MS assured her.

As soon as Dr Tani left Kul went back into his previous position snuggling into Virat.

"I want to stay with you, Bhaiya." Whispered Kul in a low childish tone.

"Then You WILL stay with me," Virat assured instinctively.

"Ok then. We will leave and I will come back tomorrow morning." Ro signed getting up from the sofa.

Honestly, Rohit didn't want to leave too. It was an unsaid rule that it's Rohit and MS stays with Virat daily but is it a Rocket science that it's impossible to say NO to Kuliya? And with the way Virat clinging to Mahi Bhai... it is his turn to leave.

"Can't you also stay Ro?" Virat asked making a puppy face. Rohit just rolled his eyes before giving a dry look.

"You can stay too Ro. You can hide under the bed if someone comes" Virat gave his amazing idea as his face brightened

"Why are you hell-bent on getting me banned from the hospital." Rohit snapped while the others roll there eyes.

"I can hide under the bed Captain," Hardik suggested liking the idea little too much.

"No. No one is going to hide" MS ordered before Jaddu and Virat support Harry's stupidity.

Hardik sulked for 2 seconds but went back to his normal self because no one cared.

"Go eat something and go to sleep. No over-speeding. Kuli you also have dinner in  the canteen and come back while I feed Virat." MS ordered giving no option for any tantrums by anyone.

"Why is calling me Virat instead of Cheeku? Is he upset? Or..." Virat thought as he looked at MS'S face But no one noticed it in the hokes created by Hardik, Yuzi and Jaddu while leaving the room. 

As soon as they left the nurse came with food for Virat. 

"Fooood... I'm super hungry Bhai." Virat moaned making MS smile as sat beside Virat with the bowl and spoon.

"It looks like cabbage soup. it smells yummy too. Here have it."MS said as he forwards the spoon near Virat's mouth. moves his head 

Virat made puking face the moment he took the sip looking around for something to split in as MS immediately took an empty bowl near Virat's mouth for him to split.

"Yuckkkkkk... it's so bitter..." Virat muttered disgustedly. 

"It's good Cheeku...Maybe it's your taste buds." MS frowned as he tasted the soup.

"No... It tastes bitter. Mujhe nahi khana." Virat said stubbornly.

"Cheeku... At least, You have to eat a little. weren't you hungry?" MS said sternly.

"But it tastes bad" Virat whispered making a perfect puppy eyes.

"Do you want me to feed you as I do to Ziva?" MS asked with a teasing smile making Virat raise his eyebrows in anticipation.

"Helicopter has taken off...its flying...its flying and hear it came." He said in a kiddish voice as he moved his the spoon all around and took near Virat's face.

"Bhai... I'm not a kid." Virat said rolling his eyes however taking the sip.

"Exactly...Now stop behaving like one and eat silently." MS countered making Virat sulk.

"Acha...Cheeku. Guess who was the first person to pull a prank on men when I entered the team?" MS started a conversation.

"Easy hai... Its Yuvi Paaji na?" Virat asked wondering what MS was trying to do.

"No...it was Zak," MS said as he forwarded the spoon and pushed it into Virat's mouth as soon as he opened his mouth to talk.

"But...Zak looks so innocent and clam." Virat protested as he swallowed.

"Why do you think I got fooled? I went with his innocent-looking face too." MS sniffed while feeding another spoon of soup.

"But...Zak seems so sensible and reliable." Virat said in an amazed tone. Zak always acts as matured elder bro around him. 

MS continued telling different tales, even made up some stories as he fed Virat. MS wondered more than once about how its easier to feed Ziva compared to Virat.

"What happened after that?" Virat asked anxiously as he sipped the last spoon of soup.

"I will tell tomorrow while feeding breakfast." MS signed as kept the bowl aside.

"Bhai...I'm not a kid, tell me now," Virat shouted like an angry stubborn kid.

"I can't get new stories Tomorrow. I have to save these." MS teased as he rolled his eyes.

"Virat Bhaiya...I'm back." Came Kuldeep entered the room stopping Virat from wincing anymore.

"Cheeku... Here... Tablets." MS forwarded 2 tablets to Virat as more of the medicines are given through drips. For once Virat decided to act mature and take the tablets with any further tantrums.

"Virat... Now, no talking... try to sleep." MS ordered as he sat beside Virat.

"Bhai... You go and have dinner, I will sit with Virat Bhaiya." Kuldeep said.

"Ha Bhai... I will sleep... you go and come back fast."  Virat said before MS could protest.

"Ok... Virat... Try and sleep." MS signed before going out.

"Again Virat?" Virat wondered but his thoughts were broken by Kuldeep saying "Sleep Bhaiya."  as he snuggled into him.

"Kuliya..." Virat called hesitantly after 5 minutes of silence.

"Ha... Bhaiya." Kul said as he sat straight giving is full attention to Virat.

"Everyone is mad at me na? though they are not showing it before me?" Virat asked looking sad and guilty.

"Ya... They are." Kul said honestly. "Everyone was so shocked and broken Bhaiya... when...when AB told...that...that..." He continued but couldn't continue as his voice turned teary. He hugged  Virat in a second assuring himself that everything is past now.

"I'm sorry... I'm really sorry. See...I'm fine now." Virat assured in a hurried tone.

"I know Bhaiya...I always knew that you would be fine." Kuldeep said smiling as he parted from Virat after 2 minutes.

"And Bhaiya...I'm not angry with you. I was sad but I understand that you were thinking about us" Kuldeep said in his usual worshipping kinda tone making Virat's heart swell with love.

"I'm sorry for shouting on you also. You will never have to knock to come into my room. You can come to me at any time...Im really sorry Kuliya." Virat apologised sincerely.

"Aree... Bhaiya you have already said sorry na and where will I go if not your room. I forgot that long back. Now you also leave all that and sleep." Kuldeep ordered sternly or he thought he ordered sternly because for Virat he looked like a kid demanding stubbornly.

Kuldeep patted slowly on Virat's eyes as he saw Virat grinning with his eyes wide open not at all trying to sleep.

"I'm not a kid Kuliya." Virat said surprised by Kul's actions.

"I'm not a kid but I sleep when Mumma does this. It works Bhaiya." Kul said honestly.

"You ARE a kid." Virat wanted but say but he didn't. He somehow liked it when Kul trying act all grown up.

Its Kul's technique or Virat's tiredness but he slept in a few minutes.

"I put Bhaiya to sleep," Kuldeep whispered with a proud delighted smile as soon as MS returned to the room.

"Achaa... Great. Now, you also sleep." MS said as he ruffled Kul's hair smiling.

"No... I'm not sleepy. You sleep, I will wake you up once I'm sleepy." Kul said.

"I will wake you up, Bhai." Kul insisted as MS didn't move.

"Ok baba. Wake me up by 12 ok?" MS said and Kul nodded before MS moved to the coach giving a final glance to Virat.

MS drifted into a deep sleep as Kul sat beside sleeping Virat with same old magazine laying on the table.

 MS woke up with a little jolt as if he remembered something and signed in relief the moment his eyes fell on sleeping Virat. Then his eyes fell on Kul who sit beside Virat, looking extremely sleepy. 

"Kuli... It's already 1:30. You should have woken me up Bacha?" MS said getting up from the couch as he looked at the wall clock.

"Bhai, You woke up. Ok then, Im going to sleep." He said yawning as he walked towards the couch.

"Why didn't you sleep when you are so sleepy?" MS asked as folded the bedsheet properly for Kul to use it.

"Because even you need proper sleep, Bhai," Kul said in his childish voice as he dropped on the couch and drifted into sleep within seconds.

MS smiled looking his sweet little kiddo acting all grownup. He covered Kul with blanket and ruffled his hair lovingly before walking towards Virat.
