EVAK/HENJEI ONE SHOTS

[24] f i r e d

ISAK POV
________

i entered my flat, a long, disappointed sigh escaping my lips as i shut the door behind me and threw my bag to the floor. i kicked off my shoes, hearing my boyfriends voice call from our bedroom.

"isak? is that you?" even yelled from the short distance, sounding a bit muffled due to the fact that the door was shut.

"yeah," i replied loudly, walking over to the kitchen and leaning against the counter as i rubbed my face in distress. i couldn't stay still, so i began pacing the room, feeling like i was overreacting a bit to the situation but could care less.

i heard the door click open and soft footsteps make their way towards me. long arms wrapped around my torso from behind and placed a gentle kiss on my neck. "you're home early." even said meekly, resting his chin on my shoulder.

"yeah..." i muttered, turning around so i could face him. he could tell something was bothering me by the expression on my face, and i knew because he immediately looked concerned once he met my eyes. "something happened."

he furrowed his eyebrows, his hands connecting to my waist. "what? what is it?"

"they fired me." i said, annoyance clear in my tone as i escaped his grasp and walked over to the fridge for something to snack on.

"what?!" even exclaimed, disbelief peaking in his voice and didn't care to hide it. "why would they do that?"

i shrugged, "something about me not being very polite to customers, which is a lie, it only happened twice..." i said, mumbling the last part under my breath in hopes that he wouldn't hear it.

"what only happened twice?"

sucking in a sharp breath, i swing the fridge doors open as my eyes scanned every item in it. "it's not really a big deal..."

"isak." even said sternly, causing me to roll my eyes.

"i'm serious." i said, turning to face him to see him giving me a look. "fine, okay!" i scoffed and grabbed some ice cream from the freezer. "this girl came up to me while i was working, right? she wouldn't stop flirting with me and there were people waiting in line getting all impatient and moody... so i told her i had a boyfriend, and even then- she still kept at it!"

even raised his eyebrows at me, clearly amused by the whole story as he waited for me to continue.

"at that point, she was getting on my last nerve... i ended up telling her off and when i did, some guy in line behind her told me that i shouldn't be 'disrespecting women'." i said, making air quotes with my fingers as i mocked the mans voice, receiving a laugh from even. i grabbed a spoon and popped the lid off the carton of ice cream. "he tried to pick a fight with me and honestly, i was ready to until my manager came out. then he fired me."

even inhaled deeply with wide eyes, shaking his head in disbelief. "wow, great story." he teased, grabbing another spoon and snatching my ice cream away from me. "you were so dedicated, though. i've seen you work- you're great at that job."

"yup, well, i apparently made a bad impression and they don't want to lose any customers." i sighed in irritation, grabbing my dessert back and setting it farther away from him so he couldn't steal it again. "and this, is mine."

he scoffed, "we can share."

"no."

even smirked at me and bit his lip as he tried to hide his smile, which he wasn't doing a very good job. he made his way towards me with a mischievous look on his face, causing me to raise an eyebrow.

"since you're all grumpy right now, why don't i cheer you up?"

"how?" i asked.

even tapped his chin, pretending to think about it. "we can watch movies, eat snacks, cuddle."

that did sound pretty nice, i had to admit. i nodded and smiled meekly at him. "okay, yeah. that sounds nice." i leaned forward to give him a kiss, but he pulled back, causing me to become slightly confused.

"oh, you didn't think it'd be free- did you?" he asked, giving me a playful, toothy grin. "i want some of that ice cream."

i rolled my eyes, my lips parted as i thought, this really is my boyfriend, isn't it? "fine, you can have some."

he hummed in satisfaction, pecking me on the cheek and we began to share the delicious, cold treat.

even threw a couple big, fluffy blankets on me- causing me to become blind for a second due to the fact that he purposely aimed them at my face. i glared at him, which only made him chuckle at my moody behavior.

"is that cozy enough for you or...?" even asked curiously, doing that little eyebrow raise thing he always did.

"it's perfect, just come here already." i said and opened my arms, eager to hold him and bask in his warmth. i could care less about the movies and snacks, even was all i really wanted.

he climbed into bed, getting under the pile of blankets and scooting over next to me. he had luckily already started the movie, and with a stash of snacks on the nightstand, we were all set and ready to relax.

i wrapped my arms around him as he did the same to me, feeling his lips kiss the side of my jaw for a second which made me feel all giddy inside.

the rest of the night we stayed like that, eating junk food and watching random, cheesy movies while being in each other's arms. i guess you could say we were saps for each other, and neither of us thought that was a bad thing.
