(Bonus scene: After they reached home.)

-
That night after the guests had left , I was sitting in my room,busy eating pizza.

Ah so crunchy and delicious, yum!

As I took the last bite , I thought back to today's events. Those two misfits had talked to those guys for a bit. Though I wonder about what topic?

Brushing off the crumbs from off my hands ,I proceeded towards the twins room in order to interrogate them.

As soon as I turned the knob and opened the door, a football came flying towards my face. Thank God for my fast reflexes, I was able to catch it on time.

I lowered the football and looked at my brothers who were standing there with sheepish expressions on their faces.

I rose an eyebrow in question while they both turned to look at each other with guilty smiles gracing their faces and goofily said -"oops!"

I shook my head and cracked a smile. Look at them being silly as usual.

Waving my hand , I motioned to my brothers to come near me.
" Hey you two, come here."

They came forward galloping and nodded their heads screaming ,"YESS What?!"

Wow , are these two loudspeakers or what ?
I was nearly going deaf from their constant shouting .

" Speak a little more softly please , anyways, at the restaurant, what were you talking about with those bhaiyas?"

"Why do youuuu care?" Arzan asked in a teasing sing -song voice. Oof this one is way too smart for his own good !

" Shut up and answer ." I retorted, glaring at them playfully and then flashing a thin lipped smile.

" Ooh they are the best! " Arsh put in, clapping his hands once as he started to recount the story.

(Flashback, third person POV)

"Hiya! Take that you stupid big fat football!" Arsh hollered kicking at an imaginary football.

He was running around in a circle with Arzan while their api was busy clicking someone's pictures.

"Oi , Arsh ,look ,isn't that Ronaldo's face on that guy's phone?" Arzan asked Arsh ,pointing at someone's phone cover.

Arsh looked up and his eyes lit up as if discovering an all you can eat chocolate shop. But only here , it was Ronaldo's photo on someone's phone case.

He nodded at Arzan enthusiastically but quickly whipped back his head , seeing that guy walking away.

"I'mma go after him ." Arsh whispered to Arzan and he approved , nodding and giving his twin a thumbs up.

Maneuvering his way around the maze of tables and chairs ,Arsh followed behind, trying to keep track of that guy with the Ronaldo phone case.

The guy went and sat at a table surrounded by some other boys.

As Arsh was moving at high speed, thus he couldn't stop himself on time as the table came in front.

"Oh noo, I'm gonna die! I didn't even meet Ronaldo! Forget Ronaldo, I want Arzan , my twin , my bestie , my everything! " Thought poor little Arsh, worried he was going to crash head first with the table and die.

He squeezed his eyes shut ,and braced himself for the harsh impact, but it never came.

Instead ,he felt his body being lifted off the ground and into the air. Was he going to heaven?

"Eh how am I flying?!" He wondered out aloud.

There was the sound of some people chuckling.

Arsh felt warm hands on either side of his body and slowly opened his eyes one by one.

He saw a boy with greyish eyes staring right at him. His brain finally registered that he was alive and this guy had saved him by lifting him up right before he crashed.

"Hey kiddo, wassup ! be careful , don't run so fast okay? ." His savior said with a kind smile on his face and then put the kid back down so that he could stand on his own.

Arsh nodded his head and looked at them for a moment before moving forward to the guy with the Ronaldo phone case.

He pointed at his favorite footballer's picture and threw a question , " You know Ronaldo?"

"Yep." The guy said while all of the others curiously looked at the kid in front of them.

" What about you kiddo?" Asked one of them.

" YES ! He's my absolute favorite !" Arsh beamed , grinning widely.

" Aw that's cool then , you like football huh? nice! Tell us which other players you like? Do you like Messi?"

Arsh put his hand on his head and thought hard before saying- "Yep!"

" Oh cool what about Neymar?"

Arsh nodded again.

"Virgil?"

"Mo Salah?"

"Allison?"

Everyone was firing questions at Arsh while he kept on nodding super fast.

" Okay guys chill, slow down, the kid's head might fall off from nodding so much ." Warned a boy.

" Umm yeah I do like Messi , Mo Salah , Neymar ,Allison , Virgil and many more." Arsh answered, counting off each name on his little fingers.

The guys looked at each other , impressed by Arsh.

" Then which player do you not like?" Inquired someone.

" Well I don't remember the names ... because I didn't bother to know their names because I don't like them ?" Arsh said , himself unsure of what he was blabbering about.

A chorus of " awwwwww" could be heard from everyone.

" One day , I'm gonna be famous like Ronaldo and I will play alongside Ronaldo and the others." Arsh went on, expressing his lifelong dream." Oh and my twin brother Arzan too!"

" Awie he got a twin !" Exclaimed one boy while his friends looked at him with a funny expression.

" What? it's cute." The guy defended himself.

" Anyways ignore this bhaiya ." Another person said jokingly, playfully waving away his friend.

"Inshallah you will be a champion one day , give us free tickets to your match , okay champ?"

Said the grey eyed guy who had rescued Arsh.

"Yes! I will!"

" Woohoo!" The guys cheered enthusiastically and started giving him a round of applause.

Arsh grinned happily.

" Oh I know this song !" He said just as Hrvy's song was played on the background.

" Cool , it's a good one." One of the guys stated.

" Yeah! My api always dances crazily while playing these songs. But she doesn't know that Arzan and I watch and laugh secretly !" Arsh informed them further.

The group of boys looked at each other and once more began to chuckle.

They were about to say something when Arzan appeared beside Arsh , joining the small circle of people.

"You're the other twin right?! Awww so adorable!" Said the guy who was earlier gushing over Arsh having a twin.

One of his friends stared at him, as if to say " yeah it's cute but don't be so dramatic."

" Hae I missed you Arzan !" Exclaimed Arsh while hugging his brother.

Arzan patted his twin's back and hummed in response.

But he was actually thinking about how it had only been a few minutes since they had been away from each other, so why was Arsh being so dramatic?

Well they were always together, even in the womb , so that might be one reason.

" Anyways, see these bhaiyas I met, they're awesome!" Arsh told Arzan , pulling away from the hug and introducing his brother to the guys .

" You like football too ?" One of them asked Arzan.

He nodded his head , a small smile gracing his face.

Arzan was the quieter, more reserved twin and so was first trying to assess the situation he was in.

" Cool , you see we also love playing football!" Another guy added.

" Who's the best among you?" Inquired Arzan.

The boys looked at each other , unsure how to answer this question. Naturally everyone wanted to say their own name so they were stuck .

One of them , who hadn't talked the whole time and only joined in laughing or other stuff , got up and patted the grey eyed guy's shoulder and answered " Truth be told , he's the best among us ."

The others slowly nodded while the man in question , laughed awkwardly and rubbed his hand over his neck. A habitual action he did occasionally.

Just then a girl whom we know as Arya appeared and tapped the twins shoulders saying-
" Arzan , Arsh, get back."

(End of flashback. Back to Arya's POV)

Arsh finished recounting what had happened.

Omg I knew they were bound to cause trouble. Arsh told them about my dancing! Great ! So embarrassing.

" Oi Arsh why did you talk about my dancing?!" I huffed out , glaring at him with my hands on my hips.

" He just said the truth. " Arzan bluntly replied in favor of his twin. But then he fired his own question at his brother-

" But why did you just spill our secret that we secretly watch api dance and then laugh?"

Arsh had a startled expression as if just realizing his mistake and then he laughed awkwardly.

I opened my mouth to say something but then closed it, deciding to let the matter go.

Judging by what Arsh said , the guys seem nice ...oh and football lovers. Though I wonder which one was who.

" Hm okay...do you know any of their names?" I inquired slowly.

Arzan again looked at me suspiciously with narrowed eyes and I stuck out my tongue in response.

" Well they did say their names ..."

I whipped my head around to look at Arsh.
Bending down I took hold of his shoulders.
" And? What's their names?" I pressed on.

He scratched his head thinking hard-
" Um I forgot..."

I let go of Arsh and facepalmed.

Here goes that one chance...

Anyways ,whatever.

" So Api, wanna play with us ?"
Arsh questioned ,looking up at me with a hopeful smile. How could I refuse this face ?

" Yeah sure ."

"Yay!" He exclaimed dancing around in a circle.

" Okay ,you be the goalie ,we will shoot!" Arzan instructed and went on to retrieve the ball from the ground.

What-
I just realized the deep hole I had dug for myself.

If I miss catching a shot and the ball hits and breaks something, I will be the one to blame. Ahh these misfits!

Oh no- here we go .

★★★

So this wraps up the story "Accidental Crush" .

Or does it...
Here's the thing. I might have another short story in mind which if altered and thought thoroughly , could be the sequel to this story. It will be whole lotta new events following the journey of these same characters.

Lol we still don't know who the guy is XD

You will finally get to know all the boys names.

But I still gotta think about it so might take some more time. But till then,
I hope y'all enjoyed this short story and do stay tuned for more unique adventures which are coming soon 😉
Right now I'm already writing another short story and I love the plot XD *laughs mysteriously* I hope y'all like it too ! (:
