Episode 1: "Beautiful Lies"
—
☕ Scene 1: Café – Reunion After Years
Crowded café, warm lights, soft indie music playing. Aarav (21) walks in with a sling bag, looking around nervously. Then he spots him.
Reyansh (23), sitting at a corner table in a black hoodie, cigarette in hand, face a little older, eyes… colder.
Aarav (a bit breathless):
"Reyansh?"
Reyansh looks up slowly. A second of silence. His expression doesn't change much.
Reyansh:
"Hi."
Aarav (sitting down slowly):
"You just… disappeared. Not even a text."
Reyansh (shrugs):
"Had to leave. Didn't want to explain."
Aarav:
"You could've just said you were alive."
Reyansh (avoiding eye contact):
"I wasn't sure I was."
Aarav pauses. That hurt more than he expected. He looks at Reyansh's hands — knuckles bruised.
Aarav:
"Kya chal raha hai tera?"
Reyansh:
"Nothing you'd want to be involved in."
Aarav:
"Try me."

🖤 Scene 2: Flashback — The One He Lost
Quick flashbacks. Black and white. Reyansh's ex-girlfriend finds files. She looks scared.
Her (angrily):
"You're working for criminals, Reyansh?!"
Reyansh:
"Listen to me, I didn't want this—"
Her:
"I'm going to the police."
She storms out. Reyansh chases her. Black SUV screeches in. A man steps out — Viraat Singh. Calm. Cold. Deadly. She screams. Reyansh is held back. A scream. Blood.
Reyansh falls to his knees. Silent scream. The rain starts.

🌃 Scene 3: Walk on Campus
Aarav and Reyansh walk together near their old college gate. Dim lights, silence between them.
Aarav:
"You still can't sleep properly, right?"
Reyansh (smirks):
"Still observing everything?"
Aarav:
"Still care about you."
Reyansh stops walking. Looks down.
Reyansh:
"I don't want you near me."
Aarav:
"I don't care."
Reyansh (firm):
"You should. People around me die, Aarav. She did."
Aarav:
But "I'm not her. I won't walk away from you…."
They stare at each other. Tension rising. Reyansh steps closer.
Reyansh (quiet):
Aarav… "You really wanna do this?"
Aarav:
Yeah "I already am."

🩸 Scene 4: The Alley — Fight Aftermath
Later that night. Aarav walks down a narrow lane. Hears noise. Sees someone on the ground.
Aarav:
"Reyansh?!"
Runs and kneels. Reyansh is bruised, face bleeding.
Reyansh (faintly):
"Got… caught up… deal went wrong."
Aarav (panicking):
"Shut up. Don't talk. I'm taking you home."

🛏️ Scene 5: Aarav's Apartment
Small, clean room. Reyansh sits shirtless on the bed. Aarav cleans his wounds. There's a quiet tension.
Aarav:
"Tum kis mess mein ho, Rey?"
Reyansh: You don't need to know.
Aarav: are you telling me or I will get to know myself .
Reyansh:
Fine , I'm in The kind that doesn't end well."
Aarav gently presses cotton on a wound. Reyansh flinches.
Aarav (softly):
"I hate seeing you like this."
Reyansh (looking into his eyes):
"Then stop looking."
Aarav doesn't move. Doesn't blink.
Aarav:
"No."
Silence. Reyansh's breathing changes. Aarav leans in slowly. Their lips meet — soft, careful.
Reyansh: "this is not right"
Aarav:
So what ? what is left right?"
The kiss deepens. Their pain melts into each other.

💋 Scene 6: — Real, Slow, Emotional
Reyansh gently pushes Aarav back onto the bed. They explore slowly. Hands, lips, sighs. No rush. Just feeling.
Aarav (whispering):
"Don't disappear again."
Reyansh (stroking his cheek):
"Only if you promise to stop fixing broken people."
Aarav:
"Only if you promise to stay broken with me."
The moment turns intense. Clothes come off slowly. Their bodies fit like they were always meant to. Every touch speaks — not lust, but pain, comfort, fear, longing. It's not just s. It's trust.

🌌 Scene 7: Aftermath — The Warning
Later that night. Aarav asleep. Reyansh sitting on the floor, staring at the door. He dials a number.
Reyansh (low):
"He's not part of this. Keep your people away."
Viraat (on call):
"You made him part of it the moment you kissed him."
Reyansh:
"I'll get the job done. Don't touch him."
Viraat:
"You've got one week. After that… I won't ask again."
Reyansh ends the call. Looks at Aarav. A single tear slips down.
