Chapter Text
Eskild did not disappoint. The bar was good. The music was loud and the lights were moving everywhere and there were dark corners people could hide and do whatever they wanted. It was full and people were talking/shouting to each other, there were drinks and alcohol all around and the gang was very excited.
Isak saw Eskild grab Eva’s hand and take her to the dance floor. Vide immediately followed with Magnus and Cris right behind. Isak was at the counter, Even beside him, one of his arms surrounding Isak’s waist, a small smile on his face. They were not ordering anything and Isak was more than happy to see his friends dance. On his other side Jonas was already talking with someone.
“This was a great idea” Even whispered to him.
Isak smiled back.
“All my ideas are good” he said confidently just to hear Even laugh.
“yeah, right” Even said getting close to Isak “You are so full of shit.” he whispered as if Isak messing with him was a secret right before kissing Isak.
And then, Justin Bieber ‘Sorry’ started playing.
“OH, MY GOD!” Isak heard Noora shout from the other side of the counter.
Like a woman on a mission, Noora, grabbed Even’s hand and started pulling him to the dance floor, while shouting at Eva. Isak could only stare while his cracking up boyfriend was being kidnapped by a girl half his size to dance.
Eva seemed to have had the same idea as Noora, as she met her friend halfway. Even only laughed more when both girls shouted “Yeah, is it too late now to say sorry? / Cause I'm missing more than just your body!!” and began dancing around him. Isak shook his head in denial when he saw Even joining them on the next verse and shouted “Is it too late now to say sorry? / Yeah I know that I let you down /Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?!!”
Vilde and Sana appeared out of the crowd, dancing and laughing and also joined them. Vilde had her hand firmly on Magnus’. Poor Magnus seemed a bit lost in the middle of all those girls and Even shouting the lyrics and cheering and dancing. Nevertheless, Magnus was not going to back down. When the next song started, Magnus joined Even, dancing as if there was no tomorrow.
Isak snorted. He looked to his side and saw Jonas and Madhi also trying to control their laugher. Two woman and a man were there as well. Isak guessed it was the people Jonas was talking to. Isak had no idea how Jonas could talk to so many people so freely. If Madhi was with him, then, it was almost certain Madhi and Jonas would leave the place with a lot more contacts than when they arrived.
The gang had been there for half an hour and Isak could not see Eskild anywhere. Testing a hypothesis, Isak took a walk around the bar, paying close attention to the dark corners. Sure enough, Eskild, his back to the wall behind him, his arms around an enormous back, his mouth kissing a very handsome guy. Isak raised his eyebrows when Eskild’s eyes locked on his on a silent question of if everything was okay. Without stop kissing the man, Eskild took one hand from the back and raised one thumb up and then he took the other hand and made a heart. Everything okay, then. Isak smiled and went back to his place.
The music was still going. Isak could see Even was looking at him while dancing and he knew it would not be long until his beautiful boyfriend asked him to join the others on the dance floor.
Eva was quicker. She left the group stumbling and almost falling down, grabbing Jonas by his arm and pulling him to her.
“Come on, Jonas! Come dance!” She shouted to them. She was completely drunk and very happy. Isak loved seeing her like this, carefree and unapologetically herself. When Jonas resisted, Eva turned to Isak “Isak! You tell him! Tell Jonas he and Madhi should come dance with us!!”
Isak laughed and looked at Jonas.
“Sorry, bro. Eva is asking. Go dance with them” Isak told Jonas.
Jonas eyebrow went up.
“I hate that you and Eva now double team on me” Jonas said and let himself be led by Eva.
And, then, of course, Gabrielle started playing. Åh hosianna, Hevenu shalom, it started, and suddenly, Even was in front of him.
“Hello” he said smiling, moving his head on the rhythm of the music. Even was sweaty and his dark blouse was sticking to his body just like Isak hoped it would. His eyes had never been bluer.
“Du får meg til å kjøre meg opp / Det e ingenting som kan kjøre meg ned” Even lip-synced looking Isak straight in the eye. Even was such a dork. Isak had never been more in love.
Even’s head came very close it Isak’s and stopped just a few inches from his mouth. Even smiled teasingly and pulled back, leaving Isak open mouthed and needy.
“Fem fine frøkner oppi klubben, vi befaler / Sku det helt opp i himmelen” Even sang, again coming very close and them pulling back, his whole body was moving fluidly and all Isak could do was stare at him.
“I’ll have you know I still think this is very corny” Isak said to a completely uncaring Even.
To show how unfazed he was with Isak’s statement, Even gave a small twirl, stopping right on front of Isak, with his mouth and pouty lpis opened, ready for a kiss. Isak did not disappoint. He enveloped Even’s neck with his arms and brought their mouths together, 5 fine frøkner pumping around them.
“You know this is our song, right?” Even asked jokingly right after they stopped kissing, their foreheads still together.
Isak snorted and kissed Even a bit more.
“This is so not our song. I refuse to condone with this.” Isak whispered into Even mouth, causing his boyfriend to laugh harder.
Either the dj was as corny as Even or Even had bribed the person – which, knowing how extra Even could be Isak did not discard this possibility – but the fact was that right after Gabrielle, Always, from Bon Jovi started playing.
Even open this very big smile as if he could not contain himself.
Oh, boy, here we go. Isak thought.
Right before his eyes, Isak saw Even’s entire body change, he was completely focused on Isak while his mouth forming the words with no sound. It seemed everyone else had disappeared from the place, and there was only Isak, Even and Bon Jovi shouting about love.
“Now I can't sing a love song / Like the way it's meant to be / Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore / But baby, that's just meeeeeeee” Even lip-synced, his hand on Isaks cheeks and hair, his mouth puffing hair on Isak’s neck.
Isak shuddered. Even was not only serenading him. Even was seducing him. On the dance floor. With all their friends looking.
Even stopped lip-syncing and started singing when the next verse came on.
“Yeah I, will love you, baby / Always and I'll be there / Forever and a day, always” Even whispered hotly on Isak’s ear, caressing Isak’s cheek with his own, Even body glue to his, one knee in the middle of Isak’s legs.
“Ohmygod” Isak said and kissed Even fiercely.
Even had the time to give one delighted laugh. After that he was also grabbing Isak, his hands were everywhere and all Isak could think was that they needed to leave the place that fucking second.
“Jesus Christ, go get a room, people!” Isak heard Eskild say in a scandalized voice, as if fifteen minutes ago Eskild himself was not sucking some guys mouth as if his life depended on it.
“Go dance, Eskild!” Isak shouted back causing Even to start laughing, hiding his face on his neck. Isak raised his hand to Even’s hair, moving his fingers back and forth.
It was not the first time Isak asked himself how the hell had his life had become so fulfilling. He was certain it wouldn’t be the last.
“He is right you know?” Even whispered on Isak’s ear “We should get a room”
Isak nodded. He detangled himself from Even and looked for their friends. He found Eva’s knowing eyes and made a gesture that he hoped meant to her he and Even were leaving. Eva laughed quietly and gave him a nod, dismissing them both.
Isak smiled softly and took Even’s hand in his, guiding Even to the exit.
