My mind was somewhere else, Iguess?

Part 1

The beautiful boy looked into Evens eyes and grinned. He noticed a small blush on boys cheeks.

Even just realized what he said and blushed too. Oh my gosh, he thinks you're a creep now, staring at him and then saying stuff like that. I hope he didn't understand it wrong now.How can I pull myself out of this?

"...I mean, you know, I was clearly thinking about the sunny, warm weather today and how I'm stuck here serving a cute boy instead of...you know...playing football or something..."

Did you just...????

There was silence. And Even was way too embarrassed to look at the boy. Why did he say that? He was so close to get himself out of this!

He suddenly heard a silent chuckle from the boy. He finally looked up.

Is this real life? The boy was grinning and blushing so deep that Even's heart stopped and started beating fast at the same freaking time. He could look at this face for hours. Even mirrored his big smile.

- "I said I want the cheapest thing on the menu-"

- "Oh yeah, and then something about your friend paying, I remember!"

The boy was now laughing out loud and it was the most beautiful sound Even had ever heard in his entire existence. He wanted to make it as his alarm for when he can't wake up in the morning.

- "Well, the cheapest thing I have is yogurt. You can choose between fruit or the basic plain one."

- "Okay, I'll have the plain one then," The boy decided.

- "Coming right away!" Even sang and opened the fridge. He took the first yogurt he could reach and place it in front of the boy. But the boy didn't take it. Even was nervous.

"I said the plain one, not the fruit one. But that's okay too, I guess," The boy smiled.

- "Holy shit, I'm so so sorry! I swear, I don't know what's happening to me, I was on fire before you came in!" Oh not again, Even.  Why must you overshare?

The boy looked like he just won a lottery. His smile was so bright, Even just wanted to disappear forever because this. Was. Too. Much.

- "It really is okay, I'm just gonna have to have the plain yogurt some other day then," the boy answered and looked down his feet, light blush on his cheeks.

That was so adorable? Even just wants to hug him right now and then. But he collects himself together, smiles brightly at this cute boy and gives him the recipe. The boy pays for his wrong yogurt, smirks at Even, who smirks back, and walks over to his friend. 

Even just stares at him as he's walking away and tries to calm himself down. It doesn't help when he hears:

"It took you so long to just get a yogurt, Isak? How long would it take if you ordered cheese toasties?"

His name is Isak.

Even forgets how to breathe.

It's Tuesday and Even is tired. Last night was long. He couldn't sleep. He spend the whole day thinking about the conversation with Isak and how he basically told him that he's cute the first minute he met him. God, he sounded so desperate. It's just been so long since he saw a boy so beautiful that his heart stopped beating. 

So when the main break started, Even felt anxious. Will Isak come today? Does he think I'm weird and too awkward to be around? Will he ever spoke to me again?

First half of the break has passed and no sight of Isak. That's it, he scared him away. That sucks. 

Even continued working and serving students, reminding himself to smile and to not think about the yesterday's awkward conversation, but failed when he saw Isak's friend walking outside the cafeteria, but without Isak by his side. So maybe Isak isn't even at school today...

- "Hi!"

Even's heart skips a beat. Isak's standing in front of him in all of his glory, wearing a red snapback and blue Adidas jacket, that looks so good on him, oh my god.

-"Oh hi, I thought you're not gonna come to see me today!" Yes, Even is desperate.

- "Pfff, as if I would miss a chance of getting the right yogurt from a cute boy this time!" Isak said and grinned at Even.

That catches Even off guard. Did Isak just said he's...cute? Did he hear him correctly? His knees felt weak and his heart was beating really fast now. Was he imagining it?

Isak's smile widened: "Should I repeat what I just said or was your mind here this time?"

Smooth.

Even shrugged and laughed: "Oh my mind was here today, it just needs a moment." He blushed. He never blushes. Isak just has this effect on him.

-"That's really nice to hear." Isak looked down and then back at Even. Their eyes met and they both chuckled at the situation. He's beautiful.

-"So yeah, today I would like to have a basic plain yogurt and hopefully, if I'm really fucking lucky, a number from this really cute boy that works here and makes great cheese toasties as my friend Jonas would say." 

Even is now grinning like an idiot and Isak is grinning just the same. They can't stop smiling at each other. A moment later, Even happily jumps to get this yogurt, takes a piece of paper on his way, writes down his number and name, and just because he's a sap, he draws little hearts on each corner, because <cite>fuck it<cite>, he's just so happy that this beautiful boy thinks he's cute and wants to get to know him better.

He returns to Isak, gives him his number and his yogurt. He then leans on the counter on his elbows and stares at Isak, who is collecting money from his wallet.

He's just so head over heels for this boy and he can't stop smiling at him.

Isak pays and looks around. The cafeteria is almost empty by now, with only three girls doing their last-minute homework. He then turns to face Even and quickly pecks him on his cheek, smiles at him ever so widely and starts walking backwards from the cafeteria, maintaining the eye contact with Even the whole time. 

And Even? Even's starstruck. He's got this stupid grin on his face while watching Isak walking out of the cafeteria and he's blushing deeply. When Isak is out of sight, he squeaks and covers his face with his hands. He can't believe what just happened. This was the most adorable thing that has ever happened to him.

He's already such a goner for this boy even though he just met him.

A few moments later, he receives a message:

Unknown number: My mind was somewhere else so I forgot to introduce myself :) I'm Isak and I hope you're free this Friday? ;)

Yes, Even is slowly falling for Isak, and he's not complaining.
