Summary: There's nothing that Even can't do. How annoying. ;)


ISAK: [singing slightly off key as he and Even lounge on the sofa at the kollektiv] Life..... I wonder...will it take me under.... I don't know.

EVEN: [looks up from his laptop] Is that...are you singing Nas?

ISAK: [stops and looks up from his own laptop] Nas?

EVEN: You were singing 'If I Ruled the World'. [smiles fondly]

ISAK: [surprised] That's Nas? [recovering quickly] I...uh...I mean, yeah. I told you I'd listened to him. 'Illmatic' is the greatest record ever made.

EVEN: [grinning] You like it more than 'The Blueprint'?

ISAK: [nodding, clearly unfamiliar with that album] Yah, of course.

EVEN: [stifling a laugh] More than 'Ill Communication'?

ISAK: [voice cracking] Uh huh.

EVEN: [can't hold the laugh in any more] Geez, you're such a bad liar. 'Blueprint' is Jay-Z and 'Ill Communication' is the Beastie Boys. Do you even like hip-hop?

ISAK: [turning beet red] Yah...some.

EVEN: Because you think it makes you look cool?

ISAK: [shrugs one shoulder]

EVEN: Baby... [pulling Isak closer] Love what you love, you don't have to pretend with me. [places a soft kiss on his lips and shakes him gently] Okay?

ISAK: [protesting] I like hip-hop.

EVEN: And what else?

ISAK: Don't laugh.

EVEN: [crosses his heart] And...?

ISAK: And, uh...Jason Mraz.

EVEN: [laughs]

ISAK: [bristling] Fuck you.

EVEN: [sings] Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it. I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted...

ISAK: [shivers and tries to pull away] Jesus, you sing too?

EVEN: [singing softly into Isak's hair] I won't hesitate no more, no more. It cannot wait,
I'm yours.

ISAK: [melting into Even's embrace] You really don't play fair.

EVEN: Never.
