you can hear it in the silence
i love you all and i hope you smile tonight <3
Their buzzer sounds and Isak’s leg shifts under Even’s hip.
“Baby, it’s our food. Get the door.”
Even burrows a little deeper into Isak’s chest, mumbling a petulant, “You get it,” into his hoodie.
Isak lets out an exaggerated scoff, nudging him again. “You’re lying on top of me!”
Even bites back a smile before he remembers Isak can’t see it anyway and lets it spread across his face. Another minute of not moving and Isak sighs impatiently.
“Even, they’re gonna leave,” he whines. “I want my pizza.”
“Fine,” he replies, heaving a long-suffering sigh and sitting up. “The things I do for you.”
Isak rolls his eyes and pushes himself to sit up, curling his fingers in the collar of Even’s t-shirt and reeling him in for a sound peck on the mouth. “Get the door and you can be the little spoon tonight.”
Even laughs, heart squeezing happily in his chest at the earnest expression on Isak’s face. Fuck, he loves him.
The pizza guy is pissed when Even finally answers the door but he can’t find it in himself to care when he’s got Isak waiting for him in the living room. They balance the pizza box precariously on both their knees and eat with their shoulders pressed together and the simple domesticity of it is enough to set his stomach flip-flopping inside him. As if they haven’t been living together for a month. As if he hadn’t basically been living at kollektivet for pretty much the entirety of their relationship.
He’ll never get tired of this.
When they finish eating they resume their earlier positions – Isak on his back and Even lying between his legs with his head on his chest. They’re a bit too long for the couch but Even likes it – the tiny little imperfection that reminds him this isn’t a movie, that this is real.
“You’re extra cuddly tonight,” Isak comments after a while, fingers carding gently through Even’s hair and heart beating slow and steady and soothing under Even’s ear.
“Maybe I just love you extra tonight,” Even says, hands tightening a little where they hold onto Isak’s hoodie.
