“What’s this?” Sana asks, pointing at something over Even’s shoulder. “Cheese toast? On a wedding menu?”
“It’s a thing.”
“Right.”
This is a short but incredibly sweet fic that takes place sometime in the future as Even plans on proposing to Isak!
I really love how effortless the whole tone of the story feels, it’s simultaneously lighthearted and fluffy but also very heartfelt and grounded in the real love Even feels for Isak
This fic also includes some really nice understated touches that give life to Even’s voice in a very in character way
The payoff is of course very, very sweet, and there’s so much love between Even and Isak but it doesn’t feel over the top; it fits the way these two feel for each other very well!
Overall a super cute fic that simultaneously feels realistic; I can easily see a proposal happening in this way!
“Oh my god, you’re not preparing a proposal, you’re planning a wedding!” Eva shrieks, her smile so bright Even almost has to look away. He feels silly, suddenly - which only ever happens when he's talking about Isak.
Isak's the only person in his life who loves him completely but still makes him want to be more.
