#gestures in not actually that into kissing and absolutely does not care abt sex personally and therefore the extent of romance is like.

i can admit to myself i like slowburn because i'm more interested in the friendship and non-sexual intimacy aspects of the ships i like than the actual romance. i can be honest.

guys, i just. i really want everyone to see how soft isak becomes around even

bc like

everyone who knows isak (boy squad, girl squad, kollektivet) thinks he’s really grumpy all the time and the type of person to scoff at emotions

and isak is like that sometimes

but this bABY becomes an absolute marshmallow around his boyfriend and i want other people to witness it

kollektivet would see this side of him first since they live w him and even basically lives with them

(also they saw how much isak worried about and took care of even during that one awful week in december)

so imagine noora coming into the kitchen, intent on making herself a nice fruit salad for breakfast when she finds even at the hob and isak plastered to his back, face smushed between even’s shoulderblades and his eyes closed

she hovers in the doorway, biting down a smirk at how isak almost seems to be sleeping standing up except for the way his arms occasionally tighten around even’s middle while even talks

before she can decide how to interrupt them, eskild appears behind her

he takes one look at them, grins and says, “even, you’ve got a grumpy seventeen year old on your back”

when isak pulls away to glare at him eskild waves a hand and is like, “nvm, it’s gone”

even laughs but isak is pouting so even lifts his arm, letting isak tuck himself into his side

“you gonna help me with the pancakes or just prevent me from using my left arm?” even asks, quirking his eyebrows as he grins down at isak

“you can manage one handed,” isak mumbles and then. oh boy, then it happens

isak gets that droopy eyed smile on his face (u know the one i mean) as even leans down to peck his lips and noora and eskild just...

they share a look that basically screams, arE YOU SEEING THIS??????????

bc they have nEVER seen isak make a face like that before

for the whole time isak has lived with eskild he’s almost permanently been frowning

and noora didn’t really know isak that well before he moved into the flat but she could never really believe the stories eva would tell her about how cute isak could be

bc the look on his face right now

that’s really fuckin cute

eskild wants to say something and is definitely about to but noora grabs his arm and says, “we’re gonna go out for breakfast, bye boys!” and physically drags him out of the kitchen bc she’s a good friend and roommate

(and maybe be she wants to see isak smile like that more often)

imagine noora and eva have a sleepover so eva’s in the kitchen some saturday morning when isak and even come in, fingers linked loosely between them as isak trails behind even

even greets her enthusiastically and isak, sleepily

even makes breakfast for her and eva literally cannot believe isak found the perfect man

but then when it comes to actually eating breakfast isak sits on even’s lap rather than in one of the empty chairs around the table

(they’re only using one plate too they’re gross)

and eva sort of huffs a laugh in amusement and is like, “you know there’s four chairs and only three of us right?”

and isak lets out a long-suffering sigh from where he’s perched sideways on even’s lap, back resting against the wall with even’s arm around his waist to keep him steady

“eva, it’s 9 in the morning, i’m barely awake right now. let me sit on my boyfriend’s lap”

eva is literally so gleeful at the sound of isak saying the word “boyfriend” she can only nod and bite back her smile

but then it gets wORSE bc even smiles at isak and makes some teasing comment and isak rolls his eyes and it’s the fONDEST eye roll she’s ever seen from him 

eva remembers the way isak was when they were fifteen/sixteen and she knows he changed a lot in the year or so when they weren’t really friends but she thinks even the old isak couldn’t rival the version of isak she sees now 

so happy and comfortable and gentle and not at all ashamed to be like that

she’s so happy for him

imagine (and ok this one might verge on crack-y but just go w it)

imagine even waking isak up w kisses the morning after pre-drinks which had turned into just Drinks at kollektivet with the boy squad and the girl squad

and isak is a lil annoyed bc he’s hungover and still tired but also not annoyed at all bc even keeps kissing his cheek and his jaw and whispering “wake up, isak” “isaaaaak” “baby” “elsker deg”

the last one eventually has isak huffing and his lips twitching up in a smile as he rolls onto his back to look at even 

even leans over him with the softest smile in the world and the tips of their noses are touching as he whispers, “god morn”

and isak has just gotten his arm around even’s neck, is literally just about to pull him into a real good morning kiss when he hears, “please don’t have sex with me in the room” from the floor beside his bed

evak stare at each other before both leaning over the side of isak’s bed to find jonas on the floor with one of isak’s cushions under his head and and four of isak’s hoodies being used as a blanket

“...why are you in my room?”

“living room’s full”

“who’s in the living room?”

“all the girls and magnus and mahdi”

“i don’t remember telling you all you could stay the night”

“you didn’t, you’d already gone to bed. when i came in you were both passed out. you were spooning. it was cute.”

jonas finally opens his eyes when isak doesn’t reply and finds isak staring down at him with a “my brain is still trying to process this” expression while even is peeking over isak’s shoulder and looking like he’s trying hard not to laugh

and like, it’s a bit weird bc his best friend is currently in bed with his boyfriend and jonas probably isn’t supposed to see this but it’s also sweet??? to see the way isak’s confused expression melts a little when even kisses his shoulder

to have heard the lightness in isak’s voice when even had managed to wake him up earlier

he knows isak hid a lot of his real self for the last year but he didn’t really realise how much until he saw isak become the person he is now

jonas really likes having his best friend back

especially when his best friend rolls his eyes and is just like “ugh fine u can come up here, the floor’s uncomfortable and it’s not like we’re gonna have sex with you in here anyway”

jonas laughs as isak practically lies on top of even to make room for him and it’s nice, feeling this old sense of closeness return

imAGINE THE GIRLS SEEING ISAK DOING THE HEAD TILT THING WHEN HE WANTS A KISS

listen i am a big fan of the girls having movie nights/slumber parties/pre-games at kollektivet and evak being forcibly dragged into it

isak literally tries not to leave his room when he hears them in the flat but then he or even will have to go to the bathroom or they’ll want food or something and the girls will ambush them and before they know it they’re stuck in the living room

i think in this particular instance isak probably hasn’t realised the girls have come to corral them yet

isak and even are in the living room bc even is searching for some dvd eskild swore they have 

(isak is like “babe u literally have netflix on ur laptop why”)

but then isak spots the dvd on one of the shelves and spins around to even. “got it!”

even stops what he’s doing and walks over to him, with a soft smile tugging at his mouth. “my hero,” he drawls sarcastically as he fits his hands to isak’s hips

isak would think of a witty remark but instead he just tilts his chin up, silently waiting for his thank you kiss

which even is all too happy to oblige him with

it’s great until they hear a squeak from the general vicinity of the hallway

when they pull apart they find the girls all crowded in the entrance to the living room with a myriad of expressions on their faces 

mostly beaming, too-wide smiles and sana’s more knowing smirk

they don’t even care when isak complains to them

their only regret is that none of them were quick enough to snapchat it

and fINALLY

the boy squad witness the eskimo kisses

sana almost did at christmas but u know she’s too good to ever bring it up

magnus on the other hand....

let’s say isak is upset abt something

not too upset but y’know, over something small like idk, he’s just stressed bc he has two tests this week and a project due 

and he’s being super grumpy and not getting involved in conversation at lunchtime and even can tell isak is gonna snap if one of boys (well meaning though they are) try to make him talk

so he puts his hand on isak’s knee to catch his attention and when isak looks at him even immediately leans in to press their foreheads together

“what’s wrong?” he murmurs

“nothing,” isak says in a way that obviously means something

even cups his cheek and whispers, “smile”

isak shakes his head but doesn’t pull away from even or dislodge his forehead

“please,” even presses, gently brushing their noses together, “come on, baby. smile.”

that does it. isak rolls his eyes but his mouth curves up just a little so even smiles back and kisses his cheek, returning to his earlier position but holding isak’s hand in his

and it’s too loud in the crowded cafeteria for the boys to hear what they said but they certainly sAW

mahdi thinks it’s adorable

jonas is so happy his bro has someone who treats him as good as even does

magnus almost has a conniption

“whAT WAS THAT???????????”

isak jumps at how loud he is and stares at magnus in bewilderment. “what?”

“the nose thing!!!!” he says, gesturing wildly. “what was that????”

“come on, man, haven’t u ever heard of an eskimo kiss before?” is mahdi’s contribution

“but- you- that was so cute?????????????” is magnus’ rebuttal “isak’s not cute???????????”

isak is Offended.

“fuck you i’m adorable”

even laughs and drapes his arm over isak’s shoulder

“that’s right. you could even say, isak is the master of being cute”

isak hates his boyfriend

but he hates his friends more

(that’s a lie. he loves them all)

anyway this got way too long give me isak being soft and his friends thinking it’s a Revelation
