Summary: A little friendly competition.

***

EVEN: [peering over at Isak as they lounge on his bunkbed] You have the Grindr app on your phone?

ISAK: [laughs] Oh, yeah. But I've only ever logged on once. Forgot to delete it.

EVEN: [grinning] Didn't find what you were looking for?

ISAK: [winks] I found it, but not on Grindr.

EVEN: [leans over and kisses Isak's cheek] Aww, that was sweet.

ISAK: You say that now, but I was such a stalker.

EVEN: Were you? [lifts up onto one elbow to face Isak] I doubt you were as bad as me.

ISAK: [scoffs] Please, I'm a master stalker. I am the best stalker that ever stalked. You have no idea the lengths I went to.

EVEN: I eavesdropped on your conversation with Vilde, Eva and Sana in the cafeteria.

ISAK: I looked for you on Facebook.

EVEN: I hate Facebook, but I did look for you there. And I scrolled through your Instagram...

ISAK: Why do you hate Facebook?

EVEN: And some of your friends' Instagram accounts. Social media and I...we don't get along.

ISAK: I Googled you, there was next to nothing.

EVEN: By design. [smiles wickedly]

ISAK: I watched Mikael's interview with you so many times, I think I fucking memorized it.

EVEN: Oh yeah?

ISAK: Yep. Platinium level stalker behaviour.

EVEN: Oh, I don't know about that. Gold, maybe.

ISAK: Did I mention I got your full name off the Kosegruppa sign-up sheet?

EVEN: Same. I also figured out your class schedule. And where your locker was. And whether or not you were seeing anyone, and who that might be. I watched your...er...rap videos, and asked around about what you were into.

ISAK: [sits up, flattered and somewhat shocked] Asked who? Where?

EVEN: [grins and reclines, arms folded beneath his head] Around.

ISAK: You were that interested?

EVEN: Enchanted.

ISAK: Whoa... [eyes lowering with sudden shyness] I, uh, I watched Romeo and Juliet.

EVEN: [breath catching, he stares at Isak for a long moment.] And what did you think?

ISAK: [lies down with Even, his head on his chest, hand automatically reaching up to curl into Even's hair.] I think Baz is wrong, and so were you.

EVEN: [gathering Isak close] About what, babe?

ISAK: A love story doesn't need a tragic ending to be epic.

EVEN: [sighs with contentment] You're right. You are the better stalker.
