Babies first bread.

[isisisak]

@skamisako here is part twooo <3 

who gives unprompted massages - If they are not together in a room (and even then, too) they are in textual contact. Unpromted? They don’t know her.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick - Hmmmmmmm, that’s a tie. Even is a silent sick person. Means he won’t complain so much about a sore throat until he has a 40C fever. Isak tries his absolute best (without complaining about it one bit) to care for him. He makes soup (this means he is on the phone for an hour with Noora, from grocery shopping “What even is a leek?!” - well he’s allowed to complain a bit here - to what he should add when and what spices to use “You’re sure I should not add kardemomme”). And Even melts a bit when he eats it in bed with all the hoodies and blankets they own surrounding him. Never mind the tea. We’re not talking about the tea right now. Shhhh. Isak when sick, is not so silent. He is not a grumpy sick but a clingy sick. And with his flushed cheeks and red eyes always looks adorably like he’s about to cry. So, Even will cuddle the sickness right out of him. Strokes his head or his stomach, lets Isak sleep on him, listens to the on going list of “Oh, and I have a muscle ache. And! Even! My ears hurt. Ah, when I swallow it stings.” Not in his usual grumpy voice when he complains but in a small and whiney voice. In short Isak needs even more affection and attention when he’s sick and Even showers him with it. 

who gets jealous easiest - Isak. Even tho I don’t think they get jealous very often, and if so, internalise it more than being loud about it. *looks at the explanation of the ep5 fight judgingly* 

who has the most embarrassing taste in music - I mean. Even. Even Even Even. He is such a dork. Haha...ha... can’t relate..hah... *hits play on Gabrielle’s new album, puts sunglasses on, dances aggressively*

who collects something unusual - Even. Isak does not really collect anything, apart from Even’s drawings. He’s pretty minimalistic with the stuff he owns or gets, he’s messy but does not own a lot of clutter. Even on the other hand lives for the aestethic. So, if there is something he likes, like unusal or artsy beer coasters in bars, he collects them. 

who takes the longest to get ready - Even. Have you seen the hair. When in need, a snapback isn’t far from Isak’s reach. 

who is the most tidy and organised - .... [crickets chirp] .... neither. 

who gets most excited about the holidays - Even. Isak Nei Vilde we don’t have a christmas tree?? Valtersen does not care so much about the holidays. He will, in a few years, but for now it still sounds like arguments and disappointment for him. For Even it means home made cookies, presents, loud family dinner, fun and warmth. He and the other Bech Næsheims will make sure Isak will associate that with christmas, too.

who is the big spoon/little spoon - Even is the little spoon. Like I said in the first part, when they fall asleep Isak has a place reserved on Even’s chest, but in sleep Even will wrap up in the duvet and curl up, being spooned by Isak. 

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports - Isak. He is the MASTER, ok? Even is just chuckling and ruffling through Isak’s hair when he is particularitly adorable (which means always tbh).

who starts the most arguments - Hmmm. Oooh. Hmmm. I don’t know. Probably Isak, because I think Even would be more silently hurt than get angry... Then again he does get frustrated and hmmm, ok, pass, I don’t know. 

who suggests that they buy a pet - Even!! He wants a puppy. (And he will most probably get his wish as you can read here.)

what couple traditions they have - Well, there is ‘date night‘ which - to the dismay of the boysquad - means nachos and a movie at home. Hmm, then there are the traditions of brunch at the kollektivet (not weekly anymore, but at least once a month) and dinner at Even’s parents house (pretty much every thursday), but those are not couple traditions so hmm. After a tests or exams there will be a rewarding foot massage, if that counts?    

what tv shows they watch together - LISTEN. All the good shows. Isak may not be a movie nerd but he has binged his fair share of shows, ok? So, now that game of thrones is back on, they will defo watch it together. And if Even sometimes loads the stream and can’t resist to watch the first ten minutes and then jumps guiltily when Isak enters their flat, there will be shame *ding* shame *ding* shame *ding* foot rubs as well. (To be honest, foot massages are not just handled as a reward but its their currancy for everything). 

what other couple they hang out with - Jonas and Eva, duh, and now that Yousef is back, they will go on a double date with Yousana on friday, so maybe with them if it works out well. Also, well, Mags and Vilde are there a lot when they meet their friends but they don’t usually do double date stuff. (Not consciously, but When Mags finds out about the Evak + Jova/Yousana stuff they will tho)

how they spend time together as a couple - uuuhm, ok so  1) Waking up together  2) Breafast together  3) (Sometimes) Showering together  4) Sexy Time  5) Meeting friends  6) Working out together 7) Gorvery Sho- ok can we just agree they spent a LOT of time together  The how confuses me a little to be honest. I mean they nose nuzzle a lot and theres banter. *runs away from this question*

who made the first move - One word. Paper Towels. ... Ok, thats two. Two words. 

who brings flowers home - Even brings Isak flowers home allll the time. (I actually already did that as a HC ... HEH) 

who is the best cook - For this question, let me just give you this look:
