Work Text:
Pavitr liked someone else.
Saying it like that made the situation seem a lot simpler than it really was. He had a girlfriend, whom he loved dearly, and up until last week, would never have hesitated about.
So then why did he suddenly find himself spending so much time with him. It was all so confusing. One minute, he would find himself on long ice-cream dates with Gayatri - and the next he would be cuddling on a random rooftop next to Hobie. Hobie. He was the reason Pavitr had been so worked up about his relationship.
It made no sense, Hobie and Gayatri were nothing alike. Gayatri was a sweet, lovable, rule-following highschool student - Hobie, on the other hand, hated school, and rules, and anything Gayatri even remotely cared about. But there was still something about him, something so lovable that Pavitr couldn't quite put his head on.
It felt almost unfair, he would have never doubted his relationship with Gayatri before, but ever since that mission, his thoughts had turned upside-down. What was he supposed to do about this? He couldn't just go up to his girlfriend and say -
“Hey, so, i kind of like someone else, i think it would be better if we just broke up” - No, definitely not that.
So then what? Should he admit his feelings for hobie? No, what if he didn't like him back? Actually, scratch that - he knew Hobie didn't like him back. He was just so - cool, and never let anyone get in his way, if he wanted to do something, he did it. Pavitr was the literal definition of giving a fuck, he was so obsessed with being perfect, that he sometimes came out as being selfish.
Which he was definitely not very pleased about. What if he just ignored Hobie? Then he wouldn't have to worry about - whatever he was feeling for him. Pavitr knew that would be impossible, but something inside him just had to at least try to make it work. If not for him, then for Gayatri.
“Pavitr?”
“Earth to Pav?”
Wonderful, now he just had to ignore hobie for the rest of his life, how hard could that be-
“PAVITR!?”
Pavitr was then abruptly - and oh so rudely - interrupted from his thoughts. Earning a startle and almost falling to the ground.
“Uhh- i- Yes?” He stumbled on his words, this usually didn't happen.
“Pavitr man, you were zoning out hard, anything you wanna share with the group?” Miles asked curiously from across the table. Right - they were at a meeting. Maybe this whole Hobie thing had been stressing him out more than he thought.
“Uhh i- i think i just remembered something really important i have to do!” BE RIGHT BACK-” Pavitr said, obviously in a rush to get out of the room as soon as possible. He rose from his chair clumsily, not daring to take a glance at the people, who he was probably earning a lot of confused faces from, and swung himself out the door.
This was not his usual behaviour, at all. He was always so energetic and bubbly. Right now, he seemed more like an emotional mess. At the moment, all he could think about was to go home, maybe drink a cup of chai, just to try and wash away that raging feeling of embarrassment from what had just happened in there. So as soon as he had swung far enough away from HQ, making sure nobody had followed him, he opened a portal and eagerly went through it.
Just happy that he could finally go home and relax. That, of course, was until he was met with the last person that he wanted to see right now.
Hobie was sitting very comfortably, legs crossed in the middle of his bed. Staring expectedly, right at him. Almost out of reflex Pavitr had turned around, ready to walk out right back where he came from, before Hobie had stopped him, shooting webs at his wrist, basically dragging him away from the portal. “Nuh uh, c’mere”
In a matter of seconds Hobie had closed the portal, and forced Pavitr to sit down on the bed beside him. “So, what is it, love?” Pavitr loudly groaned at the question, and instead of actually answering the question, flopped down against the wall, covering his face with his hands. Hobie merely grinned seeing his friend like this, it was a rare sight really.
Pavitr was always very open about his feelings, so what made this time different? “Come on, som’ins clearly been botherin’ you. Spit it out” Pavitr still covering his face mumbled something inaudible. “What’du say, love?” Didn't quite hear that-"
"You!” The other boy almost shouted, refusing to look at the punk. “Pardon.” Me?” Hobie asked, a confused look roaming across his face, not at all picking up what the other was putting down.
“You! You, hobie, are the problem!” Hobie now even more confused asked abruptly, “Pav, ‘m not quite sure ‘m following what ur trying to say”
“I-” Oh god, was he really going to say it?
“It's just- you're, well you and ever since i met you i thought you were a really cool guy, but then at the mission last week, i caught myself staring at you and you were just so amazing - i mean, like, how could i not? But then ever since that day i just couldn't stop wanting to be around you, like, all the time, and hugging you and just you- being there made me so happy- and then i - actually scratch that - i guess i'm just trying to say that i think that i really really like y-
Pavitr ramble was then quickly cut off by a hand on his cheek and the most unexpected question coming out of the other's mouth.
“Can I kiss you?”
Then there was a painful silence.
Pavitr was so incredibly taken aback that for the first time ever, he was completely, utterly speechless. His eyes had widened. He wanted so badly to say something, to agree with him. But it felt so wrong not feeling a little guilty about this. He was literally being offered a kiss by someone else, and he really wanted to say yes.
But he had a GIRLFRIEND, who loved him so much, but Pavitr honestly didn't know who he actually loved right now.
But what he did know was that he wanted this.
“I- Yes- i think so-”
Their lips met briefly, Hobie looking up, smiling in complete awe, making sure Pavitr was entirely ok with it. Meanwhile Pavitr couldn't think at all, he just nodded. And seconds later Hobies lips pressed against his once again.
There it was, he did it. He actually confessed his feelings to the Hobie! And Hobie liked him back! - But he had other things to worry about right now.
Such as how Hobies hand was resting on the back of his head, slightly pulling his hair, deepening the kiss. Whilst the other lifted him on top of him, sitting on Hobies lap, making Pavitr melt into the kiss. And closing his eyes, enjoying the moment.
The kiss lasted for a while, but Hobie wasn't done yet, and Pavitr definitely didn't have a problem with that. Hobie planting small kisses all over Pavitrs face, slowly trailing down to neck making the other let out a small moan turning into a whimper, upon realising what he'd done. He almost immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
“‘S alright love, you're allowed to enjoy yourself” Just relax, alright?” Hobie spoke calmly into the brunette's ear, slowly removing the hand from Pavitrs face.
Continuing to suck on his neck, whilst sliding his hand down to the boy’s chest, slowly making its way up his shirt. Pavitr threw his head back, not worrying about anything other than the wonderful tingling sensation.
Safe to say he was loving this.
-
After a while (Trust me, a long long while) they decided to end their makeout-session, and collapsed onto the bed. There was a comfortable silence for a while, until Pavitr decided to break it.
“So, what does… This, exactly, makes us then?
The punk thought for a while before answering, then spoke.
“That’s ur decision to make, love” Wha’ever you want us t’ be”
Hobie wanted this to be Pavitrs choice. Because he already knew the other had a girlfriend, which was why he was ever so slightly surprised when the other confessed. He just hoped Pavitr would talk things through with His girlfriend at some point after this.
“Would… Boyfriends, sound ok with you..?”
Pavitr said, snuggling up to his ‘Boyfriend,’ slightly embarrassed of the wording.
“‘S alright with me, as long as you talk to ur girlfriend about all’is, not to be a mood killer or anythin’.”
The brunette looked up briefly, then lowered his head again.
“I will. Promise”
“Good” Hobie remarked, placing a kiss on his Boyfriend's forehead. Pavitr had never experienced having a boyfriend before. But to be honest,
He could get used to this.
