Both Tanuj and arav were getting comfortable in the room.arav was trying to calm down Tanuj but he kept crying and asking for Nishant

Chote plss calm down ....

Bache but he must be sleeping now plss don't cry

No matter what arav was doing Tanuj was not ready to listen to anyone so he decide to call Nishant

Hello bhai Tanuj is cry...

The word Barely left his mouth and Nishant was already at his door

Baby..my raven What happen why are u. Crying said Nishant he himself was trembling he felt as if someone had stab him in his chest he slowly lift Tanuj as if he was made from glass and made him sit on his lap

Arav just took the empty bottle and left

Mr good...guy.... do...u het(hate) tan..Tanuj asked his voice was cracking
because of crying for such a long time

No baby why do u think like that Nishant asked look into his eyes

Because....ta..Tanuj...is....ab..abb..normal
My...ma..ma...papa...say...everyone...hate...me Tanuj was crying badly while saying this

Nishant (softly, kneeling next to him);
Abnormal? Tum?
Tum toh woh ho jo is boring duniya mein thoda sa magic leke aaye ho.
Tum alag ho — haan — par galat nahi.
Main toh shukr manata hoon ke tum jaise ho...
Kyuki agar tum ‘normal’ hote na,
toh shayad main kabhi pyaar karna seekh hi nahi pata."

"Rone se pehle mujhe yaad kyun nahi kiya?
Tumhe kabhi aise mehsoos karna pada... ke tumse koi pyaar nahi karta,
toh galti meri hai.

Main tumse pyaar karta hoon — chhupke nahi, door se nahi...
har uss pal mein, jab main saans leta hoon, main tumhe chahta hoon.

Next time jab tumhe lage ke tum akela ho... ya unimportant...
bas meri taraf dekh lena.
Tum meri duniya ho. Aur main kabhi nahi chhodunga."

Tanuj (sniffling, voice tiny):
"Me... me not normal...
People say m’weird… too soft... too much...
But... but when you hold me...
feels like I not broken...
feels like m’okay... like I can be loved...
Y-you still love me... right... even when me like this...?"

Nishant (softly pulling him into a hug, whispering close to his ear):
"Shhh... baby, look at me.
You’re not weird. You’re not too much.
You’re mine.

Every little piece of you — even the soft, quiet, teary parts —
I love all of it.
You don’t have to be ‘normal’...
You just have to be you.

And yes, sweetheart...
You're my baby… forever, okay?"

After some time they’re cuddling quietly, tanuj resting against Nishant’s chest, fiddling with his shirt, mumbling softly.

Tanuj:
"Mr. Good Guy... you’re so warm... wanna stay with you forever..."

Nishant (smiling, brushing his fingers through the bottom's hair):
"Forever sounds nice, baby...
But if I’m staying with you forever...
Can I ask you something?"
