Yet another AO3 bot situation - please spread the word!
Hi, it's me again, the person who wrote that viral post about fanfiction plagiarism! Today I'm here to warn you about abuse perpetrated by bots who have stolen AO3 usernames.
There's currently an epidemic of bots going around leaving (apparently random) horrible, hateful comments on people's fics. This isn't the first time bots have invaded AO3, but the big problem with this wave is that they're using real AO3 usernames to do it.
I learned about this when another writer contacted me after receiving the following comment on their story:
Now, while that is my username, I DEFINITELY did not leave this comment (and anyone who would leave something like that on a fic should be slapped! What an awful thing to post). This fic is in a completely unrelated fandom that I have never participated in, nor has that author participated in any of my fandoms, so the probability of it being some intentional fandom drama thing to make me look bad is also low.
The writer whose fic the comment was left on enlisted the aid of some friends and tracked down other guest comments with unrelated usernames attached, which is pretty strong evidence that they are being left by bots at random.
The TL;DR: If you receive a cruel comment from a (Guest) with an actual AO3 username attached, it's most likely from a bot. Please do not lash out at or dogpile the AO3 user who owns that name, and who in all likelihood has no idea that their name has been hijacked for evil.
If finding this kind of comment on a fic, even left by a bot, is likely to upset you, I would recommend changing your comment settings so that only users who are logged in can leave comments. To do this, edit your story settings, and under "Privacy," select the radio button that says "Only registered users can comment," as shown below.
Please spread the word to other AO3 users! And if you see mean guest comments on other fics, maybe let the author know that it's probably from a bot and not a real person who thinks their writing is bad.

a few reminders because i’m tired and angry
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes
the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually
liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space
preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good
no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl
liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that
just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny
some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have
no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems
abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships
y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people
fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism
feel free to add more

I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!!
It was about damn time someone showed this story a good amount of respect on desiblr. Audio dramas in Indian languages have dominated for years but none as much as Bhaskar Bose. A Spotify original...

Forevermore(3)
Dhruva sits by a tea stall drinking tea when he notices his friends drive up to him with Ishika in tow. They stop a little ways away and Ishika gets off.
“Come on, let’s drink tea”, Dhruva offers his friends as Ishika walks up to his side.
“What will we do between you two?”, Gautam questions him quite innocently.
“Oye, What’s between us?”, Dhruva questions with annoyance. Ishika look at him, slightly hurt.
“Whatever‘s between you two, It’s your problem. But we have a message between us. If it is found out by our superiors then…”, Ranveer trails off as he signs themselves being flattened like a roti as everyone gives a agreeing hum.
“You all understood very well yaar, very smart”, Ishika compliments them with underlying threat and silently gestures them to leave when Dhruva looks away.
All of them take the sign and leave the two alone by the tea stall.
“Seat nahi hai?”, Ishika questions Dhruva while looking at the seat of his bike.
“Yaha bhi single hi hai, pagal kahi ka”, She whispers to herself as she lean besides Dhruva, on the bike.
“Aye, Why did you come here?”, Dhruva questions, still annoyed.
“Why did I come here?”, Ishika repeats his question as Dhruva nods at her.
“Actually, that day, I was very inspired by your words. After that for six months only study, study, study and never thought of anything else. The College even hung a medal around my neck”, Ishika ‘explains’ as Dhruva looks exasperated by her BS.
“Proud by all this, my father asked me ‘All this happened because of Dhruva right? Go and thank him’ So here I am!”, Ishika continues as Dhruva just stares at her, unimpressed.
“Tell me the truth”, Dhruva speaks, looking past her lies.
“I couldn’t stay away from you, that’s why I’m here’, She grumbles, spilling the truth.
“Are you gonna follow me all my life? End this here”, Dhruva firmly states annoyed and walks away as Ishika calls after him. A middle aged couple walks side by side after buying medicine, the woman checking the medicines in the bag to see if they had all the ones they needed. The woman accidently drops some and bends down to pick them up, the husband keeps walking without noticing. The bling of her gold necklace catches the attention of a man sitting by the tea stall, sipping tea.
“Bhai”, he calls out to their boss and nods to the woman. The man turns to look.
“Must be around 10 tolas”, He finishes, them and their lackies put on their helmet.
They follow the couple, behind their bike on their own two bikes, two on each bike. One of the bike overtakes them, distracting the husband and wife enough for them to not take notice of another bike beside them. The passenger of the bike quickly snatches the necklace causing the wife to lose balance and fall of the bike. The husband too loses the control of the bike and collapses on the road groaning in pain.
The commotion alerts Dhruva, his friends and Ishika. After catching a glimpse of the scene they quickly hurry towards the commotion. The head of the gang gets off his bike and tries to strangle the man laying the road but soon notices Dhruva and his friends running to the scene. Seeing this he silently asks his partner to hand him the blade they were carrying. He takes the blade and with no remorse slams the blade in man’s neck, the wife begging him to spare her husband’s life. He then takes the chain and quickly flees on the bike .
As they flee Dhruva, Ishika and his friends arrive at the scene. Three of his friends check the man for pulse and Ishika runs to aid the wife crying on the road.
Quickly thinking, Dhruva aims his phone and throws his phone on one of the thieves so that it falls into the hood of his shirt. The thieves flee with Karan following behind them at a distance, on his bike.
He quickly turns his attention to the husband.
“There is no pulse, he is no more”, Gautam delivers the unfortunate news after checking the man’s pulse.
They stop an auto-rickshaw and lay the wife in the auto with Ishika trying to stop the bleeding on the woman’s head.
“Ishika, there is a hospital on near the next signal, taka her there”, Dhruva advised with urgency.
After Ishika left, Ranveer and Vijay found a ripped poster on the scene.
“They carried the weapon in this poster”, Ranveer states upon unraveling and holding the poster open for everyone to see.
“Aye, Karan is on the call, he lost them”, Gautam speaks worried while holding the phone to Dhruva.
“Karan listen to me”, Dhruva speaks to Karan, putting the phone to his ear.
“I threw my phone in the shirt hood of one of the chain-snatchers, open the find my phone app and keep following the location of my phone”, Dhruva instructs.
“I am getting the location”, Karan gladly confirms.
“Good, we will follow you”, Dhruva replies back.
Dhruva and his friends follow Karan’s location to the Golconda Fort Colony. They split in different directions.
Two of the chain snatchers stop near a biryani point when they hear the ringtone of a phone. They search for the source only to find Dhruva’s phone in the shirt-hood of one of them with Ishika’s contact visible. They quickly power off the phone, causing the signal of find my phone app to cut off.
“Dhruva, the last known location is Bilal Biryani Point near the Golconda Fort entry gate”, Karan informs as he stops at the last known location.
“Which gate?”, Dhruva enquires.
“West Gate”, Karan replies.
“Then we will meet at East Entry Gate”, Dhruva orders.
All of them meet near the entry gate as decided.
“Boys, this colony is surrounded by the walls of Golconda Fort. There are four entry ways”, Dhruva explains
“In the middle are 14 alleys and 500 houses. They definitely live here. We will spread out”, He explains further in detail.
“We will definitely find them here, let’s go!”, He encourages, they then enter the fort and split in separate directions to be able to cover more ground.
“Dhruva”, Comes the voice of Ranveer through the earpiece. Dhruva stops to listen.
“We have found the same poster as before , I think we are close to them”, At this he looks back to see a rickshaw driver sleeping, two packets of biryani fallen on the floor with its contents spilled out. He gets off the bike to observe the scene better. He looks at the parked two wheelers surrounding him to see bikes. He looks around again, his eyes landing on a bottle of water tucked in the back seat of a scooty. Realization settles on him.
He turns his head straight, imagining and visualizing the scenario that must of take place.
one of the chain snatchers, walking up to rickshaw-wala, giving him remaining amount of biryani he had in a plastic bag. The snatcher then drinks from the water bottle, which he then leaves on the back seat of the scooty and walks away.
Dhruva then takes the water bottle from the seat, opening it and pouring the remaining water on the exhausts of the parked bikes. As the water touches the exhaust of the second bike, it immediately turns into steam, confirming it has recently been used enough to heat the exhaust.
‘They are in the building.’ He realizes.
Soon all of his friends meet near the building. They climb the pipe and get in the building through the open window. Ranveer and Karan are first to enter. They hide near the door to scope out the number of thieves present in the room.
“Dhruva, all the snatchers are here. They have more people with them.” Ranveer informs Dhruva who peeks from his place behind the wall to see the targets better. Two of them were eating while talking to each other. He silently signals Gautam who nods upon receiving it.
Gautam gets out of hiding from behind one of the snatchers who was eating and punches him on the back of the head knocking him out. The snatcher spits out the biryani in surprise. The other snatcher sitting in front of him gets startled by it which gives Karan enough time to wrap a plastic bag around his head which muffles his screams. Ranveer catches the chair before it hits the ground.
Gautam and Ranveer quickly hid in the dark, with Ranveer near the door to the room. Dhruva and Vijay silently approach the door, their backs against the adjacent wall. He raises a hand, silently signaling them to wait. Another snatcher comes out the room, wiping his hands. Dhruva whistles to get his attention. Ranveer quickly knocks the man out. Another one follows after the previous one, he gets startled by Ranveer’s presence. Dhruva knocks him out before he could make a sound to alert the other snatchers in the room. Vijay holds the man against the wall so he doesn’t fall so as to not make any noise.
Dhruva swiftly enters the room. Another snatcher confronts him, but before he could make a move Dhruva wraps his legs around the man’s neck before using his weight as leverage and flipping him on the ground.
Other snatches get alerted by this. They approach Dhruva, but before they could hurt him, two of his kick them down.
They stand in the room, taking a small breather and scoping the room before all of them simultaneously remove the earpiece used for communicating.
They quickly jump into action upon seeing the the snatchers charging at them.
Karan hits one with a pipe, Gautam kicks two, Dhruva lands multiple punches on one before knocking his head on the so hard it breaks the plaster.
All of the IPS’s-in-training fight against all the members of the snatcher gang, rendering them immobile and easy to capture.
In the end only the leader is left. Dhruva blocks the oncoming attack from the man before disarming him. Ranveer and Gautam stand almost surrounding the leader.
“Who are you all!?”, The man questions in rage.
Dhruva punches the man, then Ranveer lands a punch and then Gautam. The man stumbles to the entrance to the room where Karan catches him by the neck.
“Is a human life so worthless for you!?”, Karan Questions with anger before punching the man.
He falls on the floor. He tries to get up before Vijay kicks him, rendering him unconscious.
The friends ride away on their bikes as police arrives to the scene upon receiving an anonymous tip. When they reach the scene, they find all of the snatcher gang tied up with the video evidence of the gang leader confessing to being the snatcher’s responsible for the chain snatching happening in Vijaynagar and the murder he had committed few hours ago and all the necklaces they had snatched.
Dhruva and his friends park their bike in the parking area of their academy and celebrate their victory by exchanging high-fives and handshakes.
Soon, Dhruva’s phone rings and a worried and annoyed Ishika questions him.
“Bolo Ishika”, Dhruva answers the phone.
“Why did you switch off your phone?”, Ishika questions.
“It was low on battery”, He makes an excuse. “How is she now?”, He questions referring to the wife of the victim.
“She has been crying while thinking about her husband. She has just been given a sedative”, She answers back. “Waise, Where are you?”, Ishika questions.
“Okay, talk to you later”, Dhruva answers before quickly ending the call.
“Aa, Dhruva! Dhruva! Hello-! Tsk, Idiot.”, Ishika calls out before grumbling after Dhruva cuts the call.
Dhruva and his friends drive over to a house, his friends laughing all the while. They friends park their bikes in front of the house as Dhruva follows their actions while quizzically looking at the unknown house.
“Who’s house is this yaar?”, Dhruva questions confused.
He follows Ranveer into the house as Gautam has an arm around his shoulder also leading him inside. Karan and Vijay follow behind.
“Don’t worry man, this is my best friend’s house”, Gautam reassures Dhruva.
Ranveer suddenly haults them outside the door.
“Abe ruk ruk ruk!”, He urgently stops Dhruva before he could step in the house. His leg haulting midway as he balances.
“Place your right leg in first”, Ranveer advises.
“Kyun be?”, Dhruva questions in an annoyed tone.
“Aye Punjabi, Why are you confusing him? He did lift his right leg. Just come on Mama!”, Bujji meets them at the entryway and calls him in with a beaming smile.
“What is she doing here?”, Dhruva question his friends, suspicious of the situation.
“Is there a connection between you physique and your crime thinking? The body should have a little romance”, Bujji asks him sarcastically before making the ‘suggestive’ statement. “Andar, Chicken Kebab ready!”, She teases.
“Teri to-“, Dhruva halfway lunges at her, intending to scare her.
“Chill mama, come on, come on!”, She teases back before ushering them in and walking inside the house.
“Accha, this is your friend’s house, right?”, Dhruva questions Gautam with a slightly threatening tone after realizing where he was.
His friends look away after realizing their plan has been figured out.
“Samajh gaya, aye chhote hathi”,Dhruva calls out to Bujji as his suspicions had been confirmed.
He walks a little further inside the house and quickly notices something from the corner of his eyes. He steps back a little before looking at it. His friends who were following behind notice this and follow his line of vision. It leaves them a bit startled.
Soon, Ishika enters from the corner and notices them standing not far away from the ‘thing’.
“Oh, you all came here?”, She questions in a faux delighted tone before walking to the ‘thing’.
“Come meet my boyfriend”, She states after approaching the ‘thing’.
The ‘thing’ is a cardboard cutout of Dhruva stuck to a homemade mannequin. A pillow is stuck to the torso of the mannequin, three knives are embedded into it.
“No matter how much you curse him, he never talks back”, Ishika speaks as she slightly leans on it.
“Whenever I am angry, I just pull one out and stab it in”, She conveys her anger with her action.
The friends wince at this as Dhruva looks as if he physically felt the knife stab him.
“What are you looking at? If this facility wasn’t available I would have directly killed you out of anger”, Ishika speaks through gritted teeth as she twists the knife in the mannequin.
All of them wince again, while looking at Dhruva with a slight pity.
“Why did you bring me here yaar?”, Dhruva questions, slight annoyance filling his tone as he walks away.
“To solve this dispute between you two”, Gautam answers back as Dhruva and the friends on the sofa seats.
I respected his wishes so I stayed away from him this long. I couldn’t take it anymore, that’s why I came here”, Ishika explains as she stands off to the side with cross arms.
“But when I came here, I saw you all climbing the wall and going somewhere and that him, he is meeting someone alone”, Ishika states not realizing what she had done.
“What?!”, All of Dhruva’s friends let out simultaneously while Dhruva’s expression morphs into slight exasperation with annoyance at Ishika’s reveal.
“How is he alone, we all go together”, Gautam states slightly confused as everyone agrees with him.
“Why are you so shocked, the fact that he goes out alone….you didn’t know it?”, Ishika questions them, confused as all his friends look at him in slight betrayal.
“I am speaking the truth, if you want you can ask you friend sitting there”, Ishika defends.
“Kyun, What Ishika said is true?”, Karan questions with slight anger eminating from voice. Dhruva remains silent,
“Kyun be, you go out without telling us?”, Vijay asks feeling a little hurt of his friends secret.
Dhruva stays silent all the while looking away from them.
“There is no board here saying ‘Silence Please’. You can talk”, Ranveer states in anger.
“Aye, I have some personal things in my own life, I have no need to tell them to you”, Dhruva states as he stands up, looking at Ishika in disappointment.
He walks out of the house as Ishika calls out to him.
All IPS officers in training and IPS officers stand outside, at the entrance of the academy to welcome the Home Minister. Dhruva stands beside a Senior IPS officer as all the trainees are lined up on the stairs.
“Dhruva, Home Minister’s flat is currently being constructed. I want you to supervise and handle it.” The Senior IPS officer instructs Dhruva , he agrees to it.
Soon, cars line up at the entrance of the academy. Karan orders the band to start playing as the Minister’s car approaches.
The cars stop and the Home Minister steps out of the car. Everyone salutes him with respect, but then……they notice him. The man they had just put in jail, walking behind the Home Minister.
Karan and other friends are shocked by the scene before them. Karan slightly hides his face with the hand he was saluting with as the man walks past him. Karan looks at Dhruva in question, Dhruva doesn’t react to it.
Vijay and Gautam slightly lower their faces in an attempt to shield their faces as the man walks past them. Dhruva walks follows the Home Minister. Karan comes to stand beside him.
“What was that?”, Karan questions Dhruva confused, referring to the man they put in jail roaming free.
Dhruva ignores this and continues following after the minister. “Dhruva, How is he here?”, Gautam too questions, confused. Dhruva doesn’t answer his question either and walks past them. Karan, Ranveer, Gautam and Vijay look at each other in confusion.
Dhruva meets his friends after the ceremony, looking completely unbothered by the scenario that occurred not long ago.
“What happened? Why did you call me?”, Dhruva questions, acting unaware of the reason. He knew why they had called him, but he didn’t want to explain at the moment. It wasn’t the right time.
“Why are you asking so carelessly?”, Karan questions slightly taken aback by his friends careless response. “Can’t you see? Four days ago, he committed a murder in front of our eyes. We worked hard so hard to catch him. A had to hide my face with the same hand I was was saluting with!”, Karan answers back, his voice dripping with disgust, confusion and anger.
“All this happened and you are behaving like it’s nothing? What’s wrong with you?”, Gautam questions in surprise when he notices Dhruva is not giving any reaction to the situation.
Suddenly, Dhruva’s phone rings. He picks it after seeing the caller ID.
“Yes Ishika?”, Dhruva answers the phone call ignoring Gautam’s question. He puts it down after a little while.
“I have to go. Do you want to come?”, He asks his friends, his tone holding grimness.
Ranveer speaks up at this, his voice holding anger, “Are you kidding? We have been watching you since yesterday. You are not going anywhere without answering our questions!”
“Yeah, we won’t leave before you answer our questions”, Karan agrees.
“Ramaswami’s wife, who was admitted in the hospital, attempted suicide”, Dhruva grimly states. Shock and concern was visible on their face as they heard the news.
Ishika is sitting outside the room waiting and anxiously wringing her hands. All of them rush towards the room.
The woman is laying on the bed and crying in a pitiful state. Her eyes are swollen from crying. Her eyes have dark circles underneath them, signifying she has not slept properly.
“Why did you do it?”, Ranveer questions, concerned.
“They killed my husband in front of my eyes. My testimony will not be accepted in the court”, The woman sobs as she answers. The group present in the room glanced at each other in concern and sadness.
“ ‘He was wearing a helmet, how did you identify him then?’ Saying this, they closed the case”, She sobs out again. Dhruva walks out, unable to hear anymore of this. His friends look at him in concern.
“Lawyer, police, none supported me. If nothing can be done, what do I have to live for? That’s I wanted it to end”, The woman sobs as she lays on the hospital bed, devastated.
Dhruva is leaning on his bike parked outside the hospital lost in his own thoughts. The group walks up to him, just came back from visiting to the woman. “Che! A case with all the evidence takes 40 years to be prosecuted. And him! He got out of jail by showing false evidence in just four days! What good did we do after sneaking out of campus?”, Ranveer looks down, his face morphed in guilt and regret.
Dhruva gives him a sympathetic glance at his crumbling resolve, but stays silent. He is still looking somewhere behind them.
They notice his silence and his absentmindedness to Ranveer’s statement. They frown at this.
“Kya yaar? Why aren’t you speaking? “Will you not answer to us?”, Ranveer confusedly questions. Dhruva still doesn’t answer, his eyes looking somewhere else.
“When we asked, ‘Where have you been going alone?’ you didn’t have an answer. So much has been happening in front of your eyes, but you been standing there like a stone! Have you gone mad!”, Ranveer strains out, not understanding his friends silence.
Dhruva stands up from his position on the bike. Hands swinging back and forth. He finally answers.
“You are right, I have gone mad.”, His answers suprises everyone. “Not paying attention to what you have been speaking until now, I have been observing the unjustice taking place behind you. That is my madness”, He answers without hesitation. He then points behind them. They all turn to look.
“Just a few minutes ago, someone hit someone while recklessly driving and got them admitted into this hospital. He is paying them money as sign of remorse, is what you see. But he is bribing them to save his skin, is the truth. And I can see that is my madness”, They turn to look back at Dhruva.
“The criminals we helped with capture of, you got sad by seeing one roaming fee”, His tone held a slight chuckle as he spoke these words. “All the 32 criminals we helped in the capture are roaming about freely.
Surprise takes over their faces after hearing these words.
“Meaning, everything we did until now, all of it was waste?”, Gautam questions, a slight stutter in his voice.
Dhruva shakes his head in denial, “I would not let it go to waste”. His eyes hold a spark as he responds. A silent promise.
The door to basement door opens, Dhruva decends down the stairs, others following him.
“This is my world, my lab”
News cutouts, pictures, handwritten written notes hang from the strings hang and cork boards in the basement cum lab. They look at them in awe.
Gautam notices a Metal plate with a quote on it.
“ ‘Tell me about your Enemy and I will tell you about you.’ Don’t we say this about our friends?” Gautam questions curiosly.
Dhruva nods his head in agreement. “Yes, the type of friends you have reflects your character, and the type enemy you have reflects you capacity”. The group listens to this, impressed. Dhruva turns back to the hanginfg pictures and news clippings. He points at the picture of the leader of the chain snatching gang.
“Four days ago, this was the man who killed Ramaswami. Ramaswami was a social worker who fought for justice. Him being killed just for a chain felt suspicious to me. That is why I was so eager to catch the criminals. There I found some information”, Dhruva explained as the group intently listened.
He points again at a picture of a man standing with a a bill hook. “That is Irfan Ali who had a involvement in this. No matter how many times we put the chain snatcher behind the bars, he would come out no matter what.”
He walks up to a picture of the Home Minister, sliding it to a news clipping hanging next to it.
“Together with our Home Minister, Irfan Ali forcefully took ownership of a piece of land outside the city, has planned construction on a big level. That land was to be given to the poor by Ramaswami hence they killed him. To make sure nobody was suspicious of the murder, they framed it as a chain snatching and provided false evidence, effectively closing the case.”
Dhruva turns back to face them.
“Now tell me, is he our enemy aur him?”, Dhruva questions as he points at a picture of the snatcher and then of Irfan Ali.
“The 32 cases we solved till now and 500 cases I researched on my own suspicions. All of this are full, detailed analysis”, Dhruva finally stops as the group looks at him, in awe of his intelligence.
“Did you do this all alone?”, Gautam questions in awe.
Dhruva looks at him before smirking a little as he answers, “No.”
Everyone looks at him surprise at his answer. One question floats into their mind as they glance at each other in confusion.
Who helped him?
The silence is broken by the sound of the door opening. The sounds of footsteps fill the silence as a sweet voice speaks.
“Dhruva?”
The person decends down the stairs.
“Do you know what that happened today?”, The woman speaks in a tired yet annoyed tone as she continues down the stairs, her face now visible under the dim lights.
She walks down the stairs without looking, as if she is familiar with them. Her hair is slightly messy as she holds a cup of coffee in her hands.
She rambles on about her job colleague being an annoyance as she descends down the stairs taking a sip of her coffee, not noticing the stunned and questioning stares of the group standing in the room.
“And then she-“, She finally turn to look at the room only to stop mid sentence. She stands there frozen and wide eyed before her eyes find Dhruva standing amid them.
“Hii~, I didn’t know we had guests today”, She awkwardly waves as she looks at the group of strangers while smiling.
They all stand in an awkward silence before Dhruva walks up to her, standing in front of her effectively blocking her view of the room.
“Y/n”, Dhruva calls out to her in a firm tone. She looks up to him, her lips in a small pout like that of a child found guilty. She already knew why he took that tone with her.
“How many?”, Dhruva asks as he glances at her coffee cup. It was obvious by her dark circles that she did not sleep last night and Dhruva noticed it. He always does.
“Three”, She mumbles out while looking away with a guilty look.
Dhruva doesn’t say anything. He just sighs before taking the cup of coffee and standing beside her, finally facing the room of people.
He places a hand at her lower back before introducing her.
“This is Y/n. The second mastermind who helped with my research”, Dhruva introduces her as Y/n smiles at the group. He then looks at y/n.
“And these are my friends. Ranveer, Karan, Gautam, Vijay and Ishika”.
Y/n glances at each person Dhruva points out, she nods her head in a hello.
“Is she the one you have been meeting alone?”, Gautam curiously asks.
“Yes”, Dhruva nods with a smile. “She is the one who helps me collect information when I can’t. We have been doing this for years”, Dhruva fondly answers as Y/n and Dhruva turn to each other and smile.
The group nods in understanding.
“So…what are we doing?”, Y/n questions. It was directed more to Dhruva.
“Dhruva was explaining his research on the crimes related to the murder of Mr. Ramaswami”, Ishika quickly pipes in and then looks at Dhruva for approval.
Dhruva nods at her than looks back at Y/n. “ Would you like to help me?”, Dhruva questions Y/n despite knowing the answer.
“It would be my pleasure”, Y/n answers back. Excited to share the information she gathered.
After Y/n and Dhruva had explained everything they had gathered, everyone in the group except Y/n and Dhruva are left in the lab.
Both of them sit and talk more about the plan before deciding it was time to go home and rest.
They both walk out the lab side by side.
“Y/n, I will drop you to your home”, Dhruva offers as he gets on his bike and starts it up.
“You don’t have to. I can take auto”, Y/n responds not wanting to trouble him.
“No. It’s unsafe and you won’t find autos this late”, Dhruva firmly states leaving no room for discussion.
Y/n just sighs and gets on the bike. She wraps her arms around him like she always has.
Dhruva lets out a loving smile at the familiar touch. Her touch…..always felt so safe.
He then drives off to her house.
They reach her house and Y/n gets off. She gives a bye and goodnight to Dhruva and starts walking towards the front door.
“Suno!”, Dhruva calls out to her, she stops mid path and turns to look at him. A questioning look plastered on her face.
“Don’t stay up too late. Go to sleep. Your health is more important than anything”, Dhruva continues with a soft smile.
Y/n smiles back ,“You too, don’t stay up late and stay safe”.
Y/n then turns away and starts walking back to the house, her cheeks blooming with a soft blush.
His care always made her so happy. His honeyed eyes filled with care always made her want to melt.
Both their hearts filled with love,
Both too hesitant to convey the love.
In their touches lies the warmth,
The warmth they both yearn for..
I am back from dead!! ~\(≧▽≦)/~
