Arhaan climbed up the pipe leading to his window... He was quite used to this so it was very easy for him...

He closed the window as soon as he reached his room... He sighed in relief but then groaned when his eyes fell on the mirror and he saw his shirt full of blood...

He quickly changed his clothes back to the ones he was wearing before...

Slowly he closed the door of his room and started walking back to Zayd's room...

"Arhaan?" He flinched hearing someone call his name from behind...

"Bhaiya" he turned around and saw Azlan walking towards him with frowning eyebrows

"Is wakt kyu jag rahe ho beta tabyeet kharab ho rahi ha kya?" Azlan worriedly placed his hand on Arhaan's forehead who smiled nervously

"Nahi mei...mein theek hun" he stuttered "Arhaan why is your body so cold?" he took his hand back from Arhaan's freezing forehead

Azlan immediately took his jacket off and wrapped it around Arhaan...

"Woh bhai mein abhi blanket sa nikla tha na to shyad is liye body thandi ho gai," he said and Azlan frowned but nodded...

"Acha chalo kamre mein boht sardi ha" he took Arhaan to Zayd's room who was sleeping hugging a pillow

Arhaan looked at Azlan from the corner of his eyes, he had given the pillow to Zayd so he wouldn't know he was gone...

Azlan was smiling looking at Zayd, he took the pillow out of his hands and made Arhaan lay next to Zayd who immediately took him in his embrace...

Azlan sat next to Arhaan and rubbed his palms to warm his cold body, placing the blanket on him he kissed his forehead...

"Good Night" he whispered as he noticed Arhaan slipping into a deep slumber...

"Goo' ni" Arhaan mumbled in sleep, his cheeks squished against Zayd's chest

Arhaan chuckled and left the room after kissing Zayd's cheek...

The week passed in a jiffy, Zain did not talk to Azlan even once...

Right now Ayan is at the hospital for his weekly check-up...

Arhaan is at his university, and Zayd is at the office...

Zain was quietly sleeping in his room, he had a headache so he took a day off from his university...

Azlan entered the house tiredly, he had a meeting with the head doctor and after 5 hours of torture, he got to come home...

He was going to his room when his eyes fell on Zain...

Zain was sleeping with three blankets but was still shivering, his face was red and his lips were very pale...

Azlan immediately came to him and placed the back of his hand on his forehead...

Only to realise Zain was burning with fever... Without wasting any time he ran out and brought his medical bag...

Azlan placed the thermometer in Zain's underarms, and while waiting for it he went and brought cold water and a small towel...

He sighed after seeing his temperature which was 102°...

He kept the thermometer aside and dipped the towel in the cold water before placing it on Zain's forehead...

Zain flinched but did not wake up... Azlan continued this for about 30 minutes before his body gave up and he slept while sitting...

His hand was holding the towel on Zain's forehead while his other hand was holding Zain's hand on which his head was resting...

Zain woke up about an hour later, he was feeling very cold yet very weak... He slowly opened his eyes and saw Azlan sleeping in a sitting position

He frowned in confusion, but then he saw the towel on his forehead and realised what would have happened

He looked at Azlan with loving eyes, he knew his bhaiya loved him a lot, whatever happened that day was just a mistake...

Zain tried to crease Azlan's face but as soon as his warm had touched Azlan's cheek he flinched and woke up

"Zain" He mumbled looking at him with worried eyes, "how are you feeling?" he asked

"Sardi lag rahi ha can you please give me another blanket?" he replied weakly, Azlan frowned and gave him another blanket

"Zainu" Azlan called softly after checking his temperature again... Zain wanted to jump in Azlan's arms and take all the comfort but he was still mad at him so he controlled himself and nodded for him to continue

"Bache you need a tiny shot, do you want me to call Baba?" Azlan asked as he knew how close Zain was with Zayd

"Is there only one?" Zain asked in a low voice... "two" Azlan answered

"I'll take it," Zain said without looking at Azlan who sighed sadly...

He prepared the two shots and walked back to Zain who was laying on his side

"You can hold my hand if you want" Azlan said rubbing the spot on his back with an alcohol pad to sterilize the area for the shot

"I'm fine thank you" Zain's formal reply broke Azlan's heart but he knew he deserved it...

Zain controlled his hiss as Azlan administered the first shot...

He could feel the burning liquid spread in his back and travel to his legs...

He bit his lip when Azlan took the first shot out and administered the second one without any delay...

This time it was much harder for him to control his screams as the shot was much more painful than the previous one...

He buried his face in the pillow and made faces trying to bear the pain...

"Zainu mere jaan relax" Azlan mumbled as Zain clenched his muscles "Donee" Azlan announced happily taking the shot out

Zain not being able to control any more immediately turned and hugged Azlan hiding his face in his neck...

Azlan froze for a second before hugging him back... "Shh bs bache kya ho gaya?" Azlan questioned Zain who was breathing heavily and continuously hissing

"Boht dard ho raha bhaiya," he said in a painful voice

"Bs baby abhi dard khatam ho jai ga" he kissed his cheek, rubbing the sore spot...

"I'm sorry bhaiya," Zain said after a few minutes, Azlan broke the hug and looked at him in shock

"ap kyu sorry ho beta it was my fault and I'm very sorry for it" Azlan creased his cheek...

"Woh to ha but mein na bhi kahi na kahi apko hurt kiya ha" he looked down

"You did not hurt me, it was not your fault do you understand" Azlan made him look up and said firmly, Zain nodded

"It was my fault entirely, I should have trusted you, I do beta I trust you bs us time mujhay kisi aur baat sa gussa aa gaya tha and I took it out on you, but that is no excuse, I shouldn't have done what I did, chahe kuch bhi hua hota I should have controlled my anger and not take it out on you, I am very sorry Zain can you forgive your bhaiya for the last time," Azlan said guiltily

"Don't say that bhaiya ap mujh sa maafi mag kar mujhay sharminda mat karein" Zain said

"Maafi mangne sa koi chota bara nahi hota Zain, Sorry is a word which everyone should make a part of their life, maafi mangna dunya ka sab sa asan kam ha but maaf karna, woh boht mushkil ha, so, do you forgive me?" Azlan asked softly
