Contains drug use, sexual content, strong lang...
The bags under Isak's eyes becoming more and more apparent with the lack of sleep he's been getting is beginning to cause some concern among his friends. They want to know what's been going with him, but they know that asking him is a lost cause because Isak has always been a very private person and doesn't like sharing his problems with others. He feels that if he lets people in and they know what's going on, that they'll pity him and that's the one thing that Isak can't stand, is people feeling sorry for him so he just avoids it at all costs. So, when Eskild asks him if he's alright, Isak just brushes it off and tells him that everything's fine and not to worry, which Eskild doesn't believe but he doesn't press about it and Isak heads off to school.
Isak downs a energy drink on the way, trying to wake himself up. The drink is disgusting but he powers through the taste, needing the caffeine. Somewhere along the route to school, Jonas joins him, wrapping his arm around his shoulder. "Hey, Isak." He greets him and Isak smiles. "Hey, Jonas. How was your weekend?" Isak asks, genuinely interested because he hasn't seen Jonas since school last Friday. "It was pretty awesome. I went to a party and got pretty wasted. Had sex with this chick who had great tits, like they were most beautiful breasts I had ever seen, it was like they were sent from heaven itself." Jonas smiles like an idiot, remembering the girl that he had sex with. Isak laughs at his best friend's over exaggeration but he let's him have his moment.
"Dude, you should've been there, it was amazing!" Isak grimaces at the thought of watching his best friend having sex but he quickly pushes it out of his mind. "I think I'll pass, bro." Isak laughs. "Don't need to see you naked in any way or form." Jonas laughs, realising as to what he just said. "Why? You'd be jealous, wouldn't you?" Jonas teases, making Isak go red in the face. "You know you want this." Jonas gestures to his body, implying he's hot stuff. Sure, Isak finds Jonas cute, but he's like a brother to him and can't possibly look at him in a sexual or a romantic light. It's just too weird.
"Nah, I'm good." Isak laughs nervously, not wanting to offend Jonas. The thought lingering in the back of his mind, comes to the forefront. "Does he know that I like guys?" Isak worries at the possibility because he wonders about how Jonas would react if he told him and if he would react badly. He can't lose his best friend so he just pushes the idea to the back of his mind and tries focusing on the situation at hand. "I'm not gay, dude." Isak tries reassuring Jonas but secretly trying to reassure himself. "Never said you were, Isak, but if you are, who the fuck cares, it's 2017 bitch."
Isak smiles at the sentiment and punches Jonas in the arm playfully. Jonas grabs him and puts him in a headlock, giving him a noogie. Isak tries pushing Jonas off of him, but he's too busy laughing to really put any effort into it. Jonas let's go of Isak but not before kissing Isak on the cheek with a loud "Mwah!" The action catches Isak off guard but he quickly recovers as Jonas is running away towards the school, laughing. Isak chases after him but he's too slow and Jonas disappears into the building, but Isak makes a plan to get him back and with that, he heads to class.
Classes pass by with ease, not really expressing anything particularly challenging that day. Isak heads to his locker, needing to retrieve his maths textbook for his homework. His locker decides to be a stubborn little shit and won't open so Isak can't get his books out. He starts fiddling with it, trying to get it open with no success. Isak doesn't take notice to the person that stands next to him, watching in adoration. Isak senses a presence near him and looks up, his eyes meeting blue ones, Even's
"H-hey" Isak stutters, embarrassing himself. "Hello" Even replies, a smile forms on his face that sends butterflies through Isak's stomach. "How are you?" Isak asks, trying not to melt at the knees from the pure beauty that's standing in front of him. "I'm good, I've been listening to more of Nas and I really like him. Thanks for showing him to me." Even smiles and runs his fingers through his hair. "Damn, I'd love run my fingers through his hair as he rams me into the bed. What the fuck was that!?" Isak taken aback by his own thoughts. He has thought about what it would be like if he had sex with Even but never this visceral and especially, never in front of Even.
Even notices Isak's look of confusion on his face and he finds it adorable. The pure innocence of Isak is what initially drew Even to him in the first place. Even could've stood there all day looking at him but he decides against it, not wanting to look creepy. He nudges Isak in the arm with his hand, Even wanting to feel some sort of contact. Ever since he kissed Isak on the cheek, the boy hasn't left his mind and neither has the desire to be closer to him. Isak comes to and blushes, realising that he got inside his head again, tuning out Even.
"Well, I'm really glad that you like him, he's always been a favourite of mine for a long time." Isak smiles, feeling genuinely happy that Even liked the music. "Well, I like you even more." Isak's heart stops right then and there, his eyes widening at Even's statement. "Is this happening!? Did he just say what I think he said? Is he lying?" Isak looks at Even, who's biting his lip out of nervousness and contemplating whether or not blurting that out was a good idea. Isak decides to go the safe route and blow it off as if nothing happened.
"I like you too, bro." Isak says, giving Even a playful punch to the arm. Even's spirit deflates at the statement, but he decides that he might as well make his feelings known because well, fuck it. "No, Isak. I mean that I like you as in like like you. You know, in a romantic sense." Isak freezes, his breath seizing. He looks around and notices that the hallway is completely empty besides him and Even. "I-I-I don't know what to say." The words stumbling out of Isak's mouth, making him blush.
"You don't have to say anything if you don't want to." Even soothes, taking Isak's hand into his, squeezing it softly. "Oh my god! He's holding my fucking hand! It feels so natural." Isak looks down at the hands intertwined and a small smile forms on his face. The touch between them is electrifying, sending tingles through both of their bodies. "All I ask of you is that you go on a date with me this Saturday?" Isak wants to melt right then and there. He feels as if he's in a dream, he even goes as far as pinching himself, making sure he's in reality. "Yes, I will go on a date with you."

Even breaks out into the biggest grin that he's ever experienced which makes Isak smile just as big. "Awesome, so seven then? I'll pick you up at your place?" Even wants to jump for joy but he doesn't want to look too eager so he settles for bouncing on the balls of his feet. "Yeah, sounds good. I'll text you my address." Isak giggles at the pure happiness that's radiating out of Even and he feels infinitely happier as well. "Okay, I'll be waiting." Even squeezes Isak's hand before letting go. He leans forward and presses his lips to Isak's cheek, sending electricity through Isak's body. Even pulls away and he reaches around Isak. He bangs his fist against Isak's locker, making it open and Isak stares at it wide-eyed. "Thanks." Isak tells him, secretly glad that he wasn't going to have to continue fiddling with his locker.
"Anytime" Even replies, giving Isak one good look over before departing. Isak turns around, his eyes following Even with rapt attention. Even turns around before he opens the door to the stairwell and smiles at Isak. "Isak, you're so fucking hot." Even winks before turning and leaving out the door. Isak smiles like an idiot and proceeds to retrieve his maths book from his locker. He closes the locker and heads home, grinning from ear to ear.
