Keep Me Warm
Chapter one - For the Best
āHi again,ā Even says when theyāre standing in front of each other, his words instantly dissolving into the booming music. āHi.ā The guy tilts his head up, smiling, then slightly leans forwards. āIām Isak.ā āEven.ā āEivind?ā Isak frowns, somehow seeming to know that it doesnāt sound quite right. Even shakes his head, then leans in in turn, closer than Isak has just before, close enough that he can bring his lips to his ear, almost brushing his skin. āEven,ā he repeats. When he pulls back, he sees Isakās eyelids flutter for a second, his long lashes casting frail shadows onto his cheekbones. He nods and repeats the name to himself. Itās too low for Even to hear him over the music, but he can see by the movement of his lips that Isak got it right this time.
Summary :
This was supposed to be a simple story.
Boy meets boy in a club on a Friday night.
Boys laugh and dance, boys kiss, boys crave each other. And they agree that their story wonāt mean any more than that.
But feelings have the unfortunate habit of getting in the way. So when a one night stand turns into a whole weekend and passionate embraces make way for shared confessions, Even thinks this might begin to look like a love story.
Isak doesnāt seem to feel that way.
