{convenience store}
Yash and Eklavya (I choose youuuu *Enter pokemon meme*) were working around the store when steve starting talking shit like always.
Yash was right there with his brother who was more of a 'chick' side of the bar then the 'dik' side... so he usually did not respond to steve but this time, this time josy was watching so the inner dik of Eklavya woke up put on shades and retorted full force.
Yash moved to josy's side "so you gonna talk to him now?"
"Maybe..... i am still kinda shy and he has not yet taken any hints that i laid out" josy says discreetly.
Yes Yash had already tried to get them together and tactfully kept distance from Josy.
'If I am going to take moments out of his life least i could do is make sure his life has a happy ending..... and well maybe get him a harem too haha.... that's unlikely to happen.
Well I won't try to hit on Josy just for you brother.', Yash had thought one day when he was eating lunch with Eklavya and Neil.
"Josy sitting in the same side of the long table as him is not a sign!..... sigh come on just talk to him.... see he is making fun of steve just laugh a little and talk to him" Yash said sighing ruefully
As Josy goes to Eklavya, Yash distracts Steve ,"Hey Steve your dad is calling you here"
and like a good little son Steve comes running only to trip on a 'Item' and falls elliciting laughter from the customers.
Things go back to the usual after some time and during lunch break Eklavya does his usual impression just this time Josy was also here
'Finally these two are getting somewhere... idk if this is good or not but she is the best chance of him getting a harem..... and i want my brother to have a throuple if not a harem', Yash thought as he chuckles looking at the two.
As he saw the 2 of them drawing 'cartoons' on Steve's picture Yash decide to take a half day as he needed to prepare for the upcoming storms.
||POV-Eklavya||
Eklavya was having a blast with rosy talking and subtle unconscious flirting between the two. As this chat came to a end they moved towards his 'bike'
"So i wanted to tell you this before anyone else does but your brother also told me to talk to you, i mean i too wanted to talk to you but he was worried you i might never talk so he, tried to help.", Josy said with little nervousness in her tone.
"Hahaha yeah i know i saw him talking to you, I told him I had a crush on you long ago so he must have been trying to set us up and since he had already tried and failed to get me to start the conversation he must have gone to you....he is nosy like that, not that a mind since he seem to do almost everthing right.", Eklavya laughs and Josy chuckles as well.
"It did work and you have a crush on me? hmmm" Josy teases.
"uhh ummm lets get going!"
Josy chuckles and they leave toward her house.
||Pov-Yash||
Yash was back at his empty house making stock changes and stuff as well as finishing up on the AI which he named bot.
"Alright its done, bot connect to the house electronics and security system"
"Done sir" Bot's mechanical voice comes over the TV speaker
Till now Yash had used the system to get a new kind of coding language which helped ease the transition into new era tech
and to get stock managing skill.
"good now why don't you connect to that", Yash points to the 7 legged pure steel spider with just a camera and a microphone in its body for now
The spider moves slowly at first then it starts jumping around the room and finally settles on his head.
Yash shivers a little, as any person would if a spider crawled onto their head," Alright bot now tell do a system's check and then go find my brother"
Bot spider jumps into action and uses the tracker in Eklavya's phone and the gps in my phone to find his location and in 15 min finds him going in his house.
Yash watches from his laptop and is able to hear sounds of the environment as well," Excellent all system's work get back home bot"
Yash then spent the next few days in his daily routine of training skills and body, as well as using his well placed stocks to earn connecting in the business world making a name for his alias 'Blank'.
He paid extra attention to Burgmeisters and Royce family. He now had enough connects to ensure some decisions he want the administration of the college to make.....anyways that's for the future no need to deep dive into this right now.
{Few days later}
Today was the day they were moving to college.
Yash, Eklavya and Nick were all in the car with Nick constantly talking and giving tips to the boys and the boys just kept nodding along.
Eklavya had told Yash about the whole Josy and her boyfriend situation.
\\Flashback//
"So let me get this straight, she has a bf but its complicated but she kissed you."
"Yeah that's the gist of it" Eklavya sighed
"Alright chin up man we are going to college soon bro we will have a load of girls there"
"Yeah you are probably right....."
"Look man even Josy is not out of the picture..... she said its complicated right..... you have a chance here so just text her later on you know talk with her and feel her out man"
Yash said patting his shoulder.
"Yeah yeah"
//Flashback end\\
{B&R university}
Nick dropped them off and went back, as the boys looked ahead to the new chapter of their life with smiles on their faces.
Eklavya's was for the new beginnings
Yash's was for the second chance he was not willing to waste.
