Isak is gone for two weeks on a camping excursion with the boys and when he comes home, he’s suddenly a man.
Not that he wasn’t one before.

He didn’t expect for his baby-faced boyfriend to come home and murder him where he’s standing with this new look. It takes everything inside of him to keep breathing when Isak meets his eyes and smiles, his dimples hidden, but his eyes somehow even more green with the contrast of his jawline.
“Hi.” Isak greets, dropping his bags by the door.
It only takes a few steps for him to reach Even where he stands in the doorframe of their kitchen, but suddenly he’s there and he’s warm and he smells of campfire, with a hint of spearmint. And Even thinks how it’s all of these things that smell like home to him. Of how this apartment isn’t home without that smell, of how he’s been homesick for days because he missed it so desperately.
“Hi.” Even grins back at Isak, as he welcomes Isak into his arms and hugs him tightly. “Missed you.”
“Missed you too.” Isak’s mouth mumbles into the crook of Even’s neck and it tickles with the new hair teasing his sensitive skin there.
