Vansh Khurana (ML)
Younger Vansh (Age 14)
Even as a child, Vansh Khurana had a presence that felt older than his years. While others his age were loud, careless, and easily distracted, Vansh was quiet in a way that wasn’t empty but observant, always watching, always understanding more than he let on. He didn’t speak unnecessarily, didn’t react impulsively, and rarely showed what he was truly thinking, which often made people hesitant around him. But Aarav had never been one of those people. With Aarav, Vansh was different—not softer in an obvious way, but more… present. He listened, he stayed, and most importantly, he allowed Aarav into a space no one else could reach.
His possessiveness began early, subtle enough to go unnoticed but strong enough to shape his actions. He didn’t like sharing Aarav’s attention, didn’t like the idea of someone else taking his place, though he never fully understood why. To Vansh, it was simple—Aarav was his constant, his person, the one thing in his life that felt unquestionably his. And even at fourteen, without knowing the depth of his own emotions, he had already started holding on too tightly… just without calling it love.
Older Vansh (18)
By the time Vansh turned eighteen, the quiet boy had grown into someone far more controlled, far more dangerous in the way he carried himself. His calm had sharpened into something deliberate, something that concealed more than it revealed, and while the world saw him as composed, intelligent, and untouchable, there was a side of him that remained unchanged—his connection to Aarav.
If anything, it had only deepened.
Years of distance had not weakened his feelings but refined them, turning a childhood attachment into something intense, consuming, and impossible to ignore. Vansh had learned restraint, had taught himself how to hide the depth of his emotions behind a calm exterior, but that didn’t mean they had lessened. It only meant they were more controlled, more calculated.
He was still possessive. Still quietly obsessed. Still unwilling to let anyone take what he considered his.
But now, he understood it.
He knew that what he felt wasn’t just protectiveness or habit—it was love, strong enough to wait, patient enough to endure distance, and dangerous enough to cross any line if it meant keeping Aarav close. And yet, despite everything, there was one boundary he would never break—the one where Aarav could be hurt. Because no matter how intense his feelings became, one truth remained absolute in Vansh Khurana’s world:
Aarav would always come first.
Even above himself.
Aarav Sharma (MC)
Younger Aarav (Age 14)
Aarav Sharma had always been the kind of person who filled spaces without trying. Where Vansh was quiet, Aarav was bright—expressive, talkative, and effortlessly warm in a way that drew people toward him without effort. He laughed easily, spoke without overthinking, and loved without holding back, making him the complete opposite of Vansh in every visible way.
But what made Aarav different wasn’t just his cheerful nature—it was the way he loved with complete trust. He didn’t question his bond with Vansh, didn’t analyze it or try to define it, because to him it had always been simple. Vansh was his best friend, his closest person, the one he turned to without hesitation, the one he missed the most even in the smallest moments.
He didn’t notice Vansh’s possessiveness, didn’t recognize the subtle intensity behind his words or actions, because to Aarav, everything about Vansh felt normal. Comfortable. Safe.
And that innocence, that unawareness, was what made him hold on so easily… without realizing just how deeply Vansh had already rooted himself into his life.
Older Aarav (18)
Growing up changed Aarav in ways that were visible and ways that were not. He was still warm, still expressive, still someone who smiled easily and spoke freely, but there was a quiet maturity beneath it now, shaped by distance, by change, and by learning how to exist in a world that didn’t always feel like home. Living in Russia had made him more independent, more adaptable, yet it hadn’t taken away the part of him that remained deeply connected to Vansh.
If anything, that connection had only strengthened.
Aarav still turned to Vansh first, still shared everything with him, still felt a sense of comfort that no one else could replicate. But now, there were moments—small, fleeting, yet undeniable—where something felt different. The way his heart reacted when Vansh’s voice softened, the way his thoughts lingered longer than they should, the way the idea of Vansh being with someone else felt… wrong.
He didn’t fully understand it yet
Didn’t have the words to define it.
But he felt it.
And that scared him more than anything else.
Because Aarav valued their bond too much to risk losing it, too much to question it openly, and yet, as time passed and distance faded, the feelings he had once overlooked were slowly becoming impossible to ignore.
And the closer he got to Vansh again…
The harder it became to pretend that nothing had changed.

Age 14 for both
Delhi had always felt too loud for most people—the constant hum of traffic, the overlapping voices, the heat that lingered even in the evenings—but for Aarav Sharma, it was home in the truest sense, not because of the city itself but because every corner of it held memories of someone who had quietly become the center of his world.
From the moment he could remember, Vansh Khurana had always been there, not just as a friend but as a constant presence that shaped his childhood in ways he never paused to question. Their families were deeply intertwined, their parents bound by years of friendship and business, and so their lives had blended effortlessly, creating a routine where Aarav’s laughter and Vansh’s silence existed side by side in perfect balance.
Where Aarav was bright, expressive, and endlessly talkative, Vansh was composed, observant, and controlled in a way that felt unnatural for someone their age, yet there was a quiet understanding between them that needed no explanation, as if they had both accepted long ago that their worlds began and ended with each other.
That afternoon, the sunlight filtered through the tall trees in the Khurana garden, casting shifting shadows across the stone path as Vansh walked ahead at his usual unhurried pace, his hands tucked into his pockets and his expression unreadable, while behind him Aarav came running, his voice cutting through the calm like it always did, calling out his name with a familiarity that carried years of habit and affection.
Vansh stopped the moment he heard him, not because he was asked to but because he always did, his movements instinctively aligning with Aarav’s presence as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
Aarav reached him moments later, slightly breathless but smiling in that effortless way that made everything around him feel lighter, immediately complaining about Vansh walking too fast even though it wasn’t entirely true, and Vansh responded in the same dry, controlled tone he used with everyone else, yet there was a softness beneath it that only Aarav ever seemed to notice.
Their conversations flowed without effort, filled with small arguments and teasing remarks that meant nothing and everything at the same time, and when Aarav casually asked where he stood in Vansh’s world, expecting nothing more than another dismissive reply, Vansh’s answer came without hesitation, calm and certain in a way that made it feel like a fact rather than a statement.
“You’re mine.”
The words settled between them without weight for Aarav, who laughed it off easily, brushing it aside as just another one of Vansh’s oddly possessive remarks, but for Vansh, it was something far more permanent, something he had already accepted as truth even if he didn’t fully understand what it meant yet.
He didn’t question why Aarav mattered more than anyone else or why the idea of him being close to someone else felt wrong in a way he couldn’t explain, because to him it had always been simple—Aarav was his, and that was enough.
As they continued walking together, their steps naturally falling into sync, there was an unspoken promise in the quiet between them, something neither of them acknowledged but both carried forward without realizing that it would one day be tested in ways neither of them were prepared for.
