I hate your face, it makes my heart skip a beat [7/?]
“Tsk, tsk, Isak, cheese toasties again?” Even questions as he sits down next to Isak, giving Magnus a fist bump when the blonde boy offers, nodding at Mahdi and Jonas before turning his gaze to Isak, giving him a teasing smile that only grows when Isak rolls his eyes but smiles back at him. “When I tell my mom, she’s going to be horrified.”
“It’s not that bad,” Isak argues. “You’re just dramatic and made it sound like it’s all I ever eat.”
“It is,” Even shoots back, his eyes crinkling at the sides as Isak looks down trying to hide the way his smile has gotten bigger.
Isak tries to give him a serious look, losing the battle as Even just grins at him. “Don’t tell your mom.”
Even shakes his head in mock sadness. “I can’t do that, she’s adopted you, so she keeps asking about you and wants to keep feeding you.”
“It’s like I’m a stray dog,” Isak grumbles taking a bite of his toast, mulishly.
Even laughs at that, placing a hand on Isak shoulder he gives it a squeeze looking into his eyes with a serious expression. “More like a grumpy kitten.”
“Fuck off,” Isak mutters, but still there is a small amused smile on his face.
Even shrugs. “My mom and I like cats, and we like you, so it’s applicable,” Even says, enjoying the shy look Isak gives him, and he knows he has a similar expression on his face, happy that Isak likes the idea that his mother and he like the boy. He continues to stare at Isak, his heart tripping over itself as a rosy color takes over Isak’s cheeks, slightly embarrassed but not breaking their gaze.
Jonas clears his throat. “I hate to interrupt this ‘star-crossed lover’ stare into each other’s soul thing you two are doing right now, but Isak met your mom?”
Even looks from Isak to Jonas who is raising a thick eyebrow in question, takes in Mahdi and Magnus curious expressions and then back again to Isak who is blushing harder. “Ah yeah…we went to my place to study, and he met my mom.”
“And she fed him?” Magnus asks with an amused smile on his face.
“Once it again that makes me sound like a stray,” Isak protests. “We had dinner, it was nice.”
“That’s great man,” Mahdi says barely suppressing his laughing. “Meeting the parents can be so stressful on a couple.”
