Something has changed Yousana oneshot

Once, when Sana was 15 and the boys were 17, she invited a friend from school to her house. At the time the whole balloon squad was also there. They greeted quickly and Sana and her friend disappeared in her room. They spent whole afternoon giggling about school and boys and then somehow her friend got interested in the balloon squad. At first Sana felt a little bit akward talking about them in such a way. She always considered them friends, almost her brothers.

But.

The girl asked her a question that triggered the transistion.

"If you were to marry one of your brothers friends who would you choose?"

That was a silly question. Sana knew it, but to her own surprise she answered without any hesitation.

"Yousef."

She is no longer friends with that girl. Not anymore. However she is aware that the moment was crucial, because since that day she looked at Yousef in a different way than other boys. It might have been a slow transition. It may have taken her long time to actually understand how she feels, but she somehow knew. Sana knew that something was up. That Yousef Acar was special to her.

                                                             •

The balloon squad always respected and liked Sana. So did Yousef. Even though she was distant and they hardly talked. He understood that though. It is quite usual that siblings stay away from each other's friends. Maybe it was Sana's way to show Elias that she respects his personal life? Who knows...Yousef had to admit that although she was distant, she was never rude. She was always kind and teasing towards them. He was quite fond of these rare occasions that she joined them. These situations were for him like unexpected gifts . Like the time she decided to play FIFA with them or joined them at the basketball court or when they went to the cinema together. Somehow after every each of these encounters he hoped that she would hang out with them more. Well, it never happened. It always stayed as irregular as it had been before.

He actually never understood why he cared so much. It's not like he had a crush on her. He just...He was just genuinely curious about her. Sana was so different from other girls he met. She was...Fun.

The time Yousef understood it really wasn't just curiosity, was when he has turned 18. Yes, it took him quite a lot of time to realize it. He invited all of his friends from Bakka to his birthday party as well as Sana. Well, he hoped that she would come with Elias and the rest of their squad. However, when he saw his best friends arriving she wasn't there. He was disappointed, but when he asked about her he kept a huge smile on his face.

"I can't see Sana. Is she gonna be late?"

Elias gave him a apologetic smile.

"Sorry, bud. She couldn't make it. She is preparing for an tomorrow exam."

"So that's how it is called now, huh?" Adam gave a knowing look while Mikael and Mutta laughed.

Yousef frowned a bit. What was that about?

When he glanced at Elias, he saw that his best friend was also confused.

"We saw Sana today. At the cafe. She was with some guy. Yeah, there were some books laying around, but they seemed pretty close..." Adam continued.

Elias gave him a furious look.

"Even if. That's my sister and you won't be talking about her in such a way, bro."

Adam nodded and the Sana's topic was gone. Boys started talking about something else.

Yousef, however, couldn't move on to another subject. In that moment he was hit by so many emotions, that he never thought he would feel because of Sana Bakkoush .

Anger. Sadness. Jealousy. Wonder. Desire. ��

Who was that guy?

Could Sana really stand him up on his birthday for someone else?

Well, he was aware they weren't world's closest friends, but he thought that she at least liked him a little bit.

Was she really into him?

And why the hell he is thinking so much about Sana's date while he should celebrating with his friends?

In that moment Yousef knew. He knew that it was never just curiosity. He was falling for Sana Bakkoush  from the beginning, ever since their first encounter and now it was too late. Because he has already fallen in love with her.

TOGETHER- A Yousana Fanfiction

Sana dwells over everything that’s happened since SYNG and tries dealing with heartbreak. Loads of fluff and Bakkoush sibling drabbles included. (Happy ending because I can’t stand seeing Sana hurt.) 

TOGETHER

Sana can’t breathe. The voices of Elias, Mikael, Adam and Mutta outside her window buzz out into a hollow echo. Nothing feels real. Sana’s eyes blur and unbidden tears stream down her face. She sits stock-still, feeling only her heart hammering against her chest, dying to burst out of her ribs as her whole torso freezes up in indescribable agony. Sana feels her pulse pounding in her ears, stark against the dull hum of the world around her. Her hands shake violently, but she fails to realise. Only one thought takes over her mind, bright and blaring: Yousef and Noora kissing. Yousef and Noora together. Yousef and Noora. Yousef and Noora. Yousef and Noora.

Sana is snapped out of her thoughts when someone comes to sit next to her. She turns to find Elias sitting beside her, looking out into the horizon from the small cliff’s edge they’ve come to for his birthday. He stays silent for a few moments, unmoving until he turns to face Sana, eyebrows instantly furrowing in concern at seeing his little sister’s troubled expression.

“What happened?” Elias asks, cutting straight to the chase and avoiding a greeting altogether.

Sana quickly schools her features into one of nonchalance, arching her eyebrow in casual question.

“Nothing? Why’d you ask?” She replies, quickly coughing to cover up the way her voice comes out too high-pitched— too unconvincing.

Elias sees right through her as he presses further.

“Bullshit, Sana. You’re upset and I know it. Please tell me what happened?” Elias asks again, this time a little softer towards the end.

Sana feels a pang of guilt seeing Elias’s concerned expression. She feels horrible for letting her thoughts take over again when she should be celebrating Elias’s birthday with him and the rest of their friends. Instead she sits secluded from the party, sulking over a boy she can never be with. It’s pathetic when she thinks of it like that, and hates to worry her brother when he deserves to finally have a peaceful evening for himself.

“It’s nothing,” Sana says with a small smile, “just standard stress over exams. I do need to be a successful surgeon like baba one day, you know.” She laughs, trying desperately to lighten the mood. Whether Elias is convinced by her lie or not, she can’t tell, but he smiles at her warmly in return anyways.

“Whatever you say sib. Life saving surgeon or not, Sana, you still deserve the best. You better take no shit from anyone, because you truly are one of the best people I know.” Elias says, putting a reassuring hand on her shoulder as he stands up. “You should come over, we might cut the cake in a little while.”

“Of course. I’ll be over in a moment.” Sana says, smiling up at her brother as he nods and makes his way back to where everyone else is.

Sana turns back to the ocean, looking over the endless expanse of water which reflects the breathtaking palette of reds, pinks and golds painted across the sky above the resting sun. She takes a deep breath, allowing cold, fresh air to enter her lungs and clear her mind. Sana loves Elias, but just this once, she can’t come to agree with what her brother’s just said. She doesn’t deserve the best. Sana’s done nothing to do so, and no matter how hopeless she may sound, Sana can’t come to think of any other person she’d want other than Yousef. For Sana, Yousef is the best. It’s stupid and it sounds weak for her to admit even just in her head, but it’s the plain truth. Sana can’t have Yousef; and after this chaotic month of dealing with her broken heart, Sana can’t allow herself to believe she deserves anything else either. Yousef is the best, and Sana simply doesn’t deserve him.

Once again, Sana’s thought train is interrupted when she notices someone come sit next to her on the rickety wooden bench. When she looks over, the small hi she’s about to say disappears at the tip of her tongue as she stares right into the eyes of the last person she wants to be with right now. Yousef.

Sana can’t help but gape. Speak of the devil- or at least- think of the devil. Yousef doesn’t seem too bothered by her blatant ogling, simply smiling lightly and saying a quiet hello before turning to look at the sunset. Sana quickly snaps her head to look forward as well, gulping hard and silently begging her pounding heart to slow down.

Yousef says nothing, so neither does Sana. She doesn’t move a muscle, completely rigid and hyper aware of Yousef sitting next to her. The faint scent of his cologne lingers in the air, a smell so familiar and intoxicating- yet causing her to slowly lose her mind yet again. This boy will be the death of me, she thinks bitterly.

As a couple of minutes go by with neither of the two teenagers saying a single word to each other, Sana goes back to dwelling on her previous thoughts. Sana will never have Yousef and she’ll never deserve him either. She feels as if she doesn’t deserve anything at this point. Sana doesn’t know who she is anymore. She doesn’t know who to identify as, who to call her own and whether she really even matters to anyone in the grand scheme of things. The self hatred doesn’t stop growing, and slowly but surely, Sana’s pent up frustration over herself starts taking over again. She can feel herself losing her mind to the toxicity of it all, and can’t seem to pull herself out in any way. Yousef doesn’t seem to be making matters any better either as he silently sits beside her- a glaring reminder of what she could’ve had if for once she was just enough.

Sana feels her heart speed up again. She feels her chest constricting painfully and her head start to press into itself. Sana feels every nerve in her body, alight with adrenaline and pure spontaneity. Self destruction is a beautiful beautiful thing. It allows release. It allows a concrete excuse to finally blame. It’s white hot and blistering, and for a split second, it finally lets Sana feel alive again.

“I like you.”

Yousef’s head snaps to look at her, his eyes wide.

“You like me?” He asks, his voice a mere whisper. For some reason he almost sounds hopeful.

Sana looks him right in the eyes and feels her heart break for the millionth time and she nods her head.

“Yes. I like you.”

Yousef’s face breaks into the widest grin she’s ever seen. He laughs a small, relieved laugh, and looks back at her confused face with beaming eyes.

“I like you too, Sana.”

Sana wasn’t expecting that. She looks at him, her mouth agape. Her heart pounds in her ears again for what seems like the hundredth time that day.

“What do you mean?” She almost whispers, dreading the moment he’ll tell her this is all a joke. “You’re with Noora. You can’t like me.”

“Noora? Nei! I’m not with her at all! I promise you!” Yousef hurriedly assures her.

“But I saw you kiss at SYNG, how was that nothing?” Sana asks.

“That was a complete mistake, I swear. Here, I’ll just show you myself.” Yousef replies, shuffling to take out his phone from his pocket. He quickly opens up Noora’s contact and shows Sana the messages. She scrolls through the entire chat, and by the time she reaches the end, a small smile rests on her lips

“You really do like me?” She asks one last time, a sudden burst of hope opening up deep within her chest, nestled between her ribcage.

“I really do like you, Sana. And I haven’t been able to like anyone else the way I like you. You’re so incredibly special to me.” Yousef says softly, his heart melting at seeing Sana smiling shyly in return. The sun was going down fast, and as it’s last rays pooled out over the ocean and lit up her warm eyes and honeyed over her glowing cheeks, Yousef was sure he’d fallen for her all over again in that moment. In that moment when both teenagers finally knew that they’d be starting a very special part of their lives—

together.

Notes:

Halla! I hope you liked this small oneshot I wrote on a whim. I’m pree exhausted so sorry for any grammatical errors. The messages Yousef shows Sana are the same ones Noora shows Sana in ep.8, part.6.

Hey everyone,

So I’m actually thinking about creating a skam fanfic. It’s not going to be really based on anyone in the skam universe, but more so about adding a character of my own with their own plot INTO the skam universe. I’m doing this because the idea I have in mind doesn’t really fit with any of the characters from the skam universe and I just feel like it’s a topic that needs to be covered with how skam relates to everyone. So it’ll sort of be adding a whole new person into the group but I just don’t know which remake I would put this character in. I’ve watched the OG of course and I’m currently watching skam Italia, skam France, skam NL, skam españa, druck (when it was airing), and I’ll be starting wtfock soon. So I would LOVE to hear about what you guys would think about this idea. Would it be nice to create a whole new character and add it on one of those remakes or take a character who hasn’t really been spoken about. You can reply or message me about this. I would really appreciate any kind of thoughts or feedback about this cause after all, you guys are going to be the ones reading it. Thank youuuuu

[hellishchrissy]

↳ just the girl squad spending wonderful afternoons together + a surprise birthday party for Sana

Read on AO3

“Okay, just tell me one reason why you don’t want to do this.” Eva said as she and other girls entered the Bakkoush’s household.

“Why?” Noora repeated. “Because it’s stupid? Is it enough of a reason?” she asked holding her shoes in her hands.

“No, it’s not. And besides, it’s not stupid.” Eva insisted.

“I actually agree with Noora, I don’t really like this idea.” Vilde said while hanging her coat on the hook.

“Seriously?” Eva asked surprised. “I thought you would have my back on this, Vilde. After all you were the one who wanted to be a Russ in the first place.”

“Yeah, but not at all cost. Not like that and not now” Vilde frowned.

Meanwhile Sana and Chris were standing in the hallway, amusedly watching the girls banter. They were fighting over this since yesterday and frankly it didn’t look as though they’re going to stop any time soon.

“Are you done?” Sana asked when they finally shut their mouth for a second. They looked at her and Chris, and then at each other, and finally nodded. “Good. Come on then, let’s get something to eat.”

The girls silently followed Sana to the kitchen, only to bump into her when she suddenly froze. Muttering silent “ouch”, the girls followed Sana’s look to find a familiar figure in her kitchen.

“Jamilla!” Sana exclaimed. “What are you doing here?”

“Hey there” Jamilla smiled at them, closing the fridge and putting some vegetables on the counter. “Your mum had some errands to run so I volunteered to babysit you and Elias.” she smirked and walked towards Sana to hug her.

“Babysit me?” Sana asked surprised. “I mean I get babysitting Elias, but me?”

“Ask your mother, not me. I’m just working here.” Jamilla laughed and said ‘hello’ to other girls. “So, are you hungry? A friend of mine gave me a recipe for risotto and I was thinking about trying to make it.”

“Yes, please.” Chris said a little bit too quickly and all the girls burst into laughter.

“Someone called the sanitary inspection to come and check the school’s cafeteria.” Noora explained.

“We managed to get to the nearest café and buy some sandwiches during the lunch break but that’s all we’ve eaten all day.” Eva added.

“So yes, please.” Chris repeated and smiled at Jamilla who still had her arm wrapped around Sana.

“Okay, so we definitely need to do something about that.” Jamilla shook her head. “Can you help with the vegetables?”

“Yeah, of course!” Noora said excitedly. Girls knew how much she loves cooking. Contrary to Sana who wasn’t really that eager to help in the kitchen.

The girls sat around the table, equipped with knives, peelers, cutting boards and vegetables, while Jamilla took care of chicken, rice and stock.

“I still don’t understand why you’re so against taking part in it.” Eva said, once again bringing the hot topic to the table.

“Ugh, Eva. We’ve talked about this already.” Noora replied, clearly bored of having to explain it again.

“I know, but I just don’t get it why you think it’s stupid.” she insisted.

“Because it is?” Noora replied.

“No, it’s not. Only you think it is. Come on, Chris, back me up on this.”

“Yo, you know that I’m all in. It’ll be fun.”

“Vilde?” Eva asked and Vilde looked at her. Her eyes were wet from tears. “Wait, Vilde, are you crying?” she asked and all the girls looked at her concerned.

“What? No, it’s because of the onion.” she laughed and passed the chopped onions to Jamilla. “And I already said it earlier.” she continued as soon as he sat back on the chair. “I agree with Noora on this.”

“Ugh, come on girls! We’ve got to do this!”

“No, we don’t” Noora smiled at threw a bit of the celery stick at Eva.

“It’s a tie now.” Vilde noted. “And since we live in a democratic country, the best way to stop this discussion is to vote.”

“Fine.” Eva agreed. “All those who want to do Russeknuter raise your hands.” Eva and Chris both raised their hands. “And all those who don’t want to do Russeknuter raise your hands.” This time Vilde and Noora raised their hands.

“Sana?” Noora threw another celery stick at Sana who was currently peeling (or more like trying to peel) a carrot.

“You have to pick a side.” Vilde said once Sana looked at them from the carrot.

“Nei, Vilde, I don’t.” Sana smiled.

“Yes, you do.” Eva insisted.

“Nope. I abstain from voting.” she laughed and took another carrot to peel from the pile.

“Sana, come on! Now we’re at the starting point again.” Eva frowned.

“Are you seriously fighting about Russeknuter?” Jamilla snorted. The girls looked at her, carefully stirring rice with a spoon and adding another portion of the stock.

“I’m not.” Sana said. “They are. Since yesterday.”

“Ehh, girls, trust me. You have better things to worry about than knots. How’s it going with those vegetables?” she asked smiling at them and the girls passed them to her.

“So Jamilla… You were on the russebus, right? How was it?” Noora asked leaning on the counter.

“It was fun.” Jamilla answered smiling at the memory of her time in Nissen. “My bus actually managed to win more knots than the bus of those stupid boys from my year. Which definitely makes the whole russ thing fun when I think about it.”

“Wait. You were doing the dare for the knots?” Sana asked surprised.

“No need to sound so surprised, habibti.” Jamilla laughed. “We weren’t doing any immoral stuff, of course. For example, we got a knot for being sober for the entire Russ time. Or we got challenged to wear bread for shoes for a week.” they all burst out with laughter when they heard this.

“And did you do this?” Chris asked amused.

“No, we didn’t. I think some other group did it after all. But we declined. There are so many people who have nothing to eat that it didn’t seem fair for us to waste food like this for ‘fun’.” she emphasized the last one with quotation marks. “Instead we made our bus a safe place. We had plenty of water and fruits and blankets so basically we were rescuing all those who drunk too much and realized that partying like that is not as liberating as they thought it is.”

“Wow. That’s a cool idea.” Eva admitted.

“You never told me about this.” Sana noted.

“Well, you never asked.” Jamilla smirked and continued to stir the risotto.

They were talking and laughing over the empty plates, when someone opened the front door and out of the sudden the whole house was filled with loud voices of Elias and his friends.

“Guys, guys, wait.” they heard Mikael’s voice from the hallway. “What is it?”

“Fy faen, it smells so good.” Mutta sighed.

“Wait, I’ll ask my mum if we can get some.” Elias said and soon started to walk to the kitchen shouting “Mum! Mum, did you left some of that delicious food for us?”

“Unfortunately not, habibti.” Jamilla said with a straight face as soon as Elias and the rest of the boys entered the kitchen, while the girls burst out with laughter. “But there’s still some stock left on the stove so I guess you can have it.”

“Jamilla? What are you doing here?” Elias asked surprised.

“What am I doing here? Well, your mother asked me to babysit you.” she replied and Adam and Mikael laughed, while Mutta and Yousef seemed to only focus their attention on Chris and Sana from the moment they entered the room. “Oh look at them, they’re so unbelievably cute.” Jamilla smiled and rested her face on her hand while looking at Sana and Yousef.

“Yes, they are.” Noora crinkled her nose and smiled at them. As soon as Sana and Yousef noticed that suddenly they are in the center of attention, they looked away (clearly embarrassed that they were exposed like this) and blushed.

“Well, these two are not that bad either.” Eva nudged Chris with elbow and the girl giggled while Mutta just looked at them dumbstruck with a goofy smile.

“Fy faen, can you lovebirds just get a room or something or at least give us something to eat and drink before you disappear in the void of each other’s stares, okay?” Adam said and sat down heavily next to Vilde.

“Well, you parasites treat our kitchen as some sort of a free dining room so why don’t you for once either buy something to eat or prepare something for all of us?” Sana asked with her typical death stare and a little smirk visible on her face.

“Wow, Sana. You’re not going to let your boyfriend starve to death, are you?” Mikael asked offended.

“First of all, I’m pretty sure that he can cook so if he’s hungry he can prepare something for himself. I wish I could say the same about the rest of you but we all know the truth. And secondly, humans can survive a whole month without eating anything before they die from starvation so ask me this question in 29 days.” she replied. She could see with a corner of her eye that Yousef was trying really hard to hold back laughter.

“Man, she’s a monster.” Adam said to Yousef. “Run while you still can.”

“So you said that there’s stock left?” Yousef asked Jamilla, completely ignoring Adam’s comment.

“Yep. On the stove.”

“Do you have any noodles?” he asked Elias.

“Why are you asking me, man? Do I look like someone who would know?” he asked back.

“Certainly not.” Sana interjected.

“Oh like you’re such a great cook yourself, aren’t you Sana?” Yousef winked at her.

“Okay, that’s not cool.” she said offended. “You should be on my side. I actually did plenty of things here today. You can ask girls who peeled all the carrots for the risotto if you don’t believe me.”

“Oh yes, Sana’s help was invaluable.” Jamilla laughed wrapping her arm around Sana and placing a soft kiss on her forehead.

“No okay, know you’re all just making fun of me.” Sana cringed. “Come on, girls, we’ve got work to do.” she stood up, took her things and started to walk to the kitchen’s door.

“Oi, Sana, come on. We are joking you know that.” Adam said.

“Yes. I know.” she said. “But I’d still like to be excluded from this narrative, thank you very much.” she walked out of the kitchen and Chris and Eva followed her, while Vilde and Noora stayed in the kitchen and sat closer to Jamilla.

“Okay, listen.” Noora whispered. “We’re making a surprise birthday party for Sana. The day before Christmas Eve, my place.”

“You’re coming, right?” Vilde asked.

“Yes, of course!” Jamilla said excitingly. “Do you need me to help you with anything or ...”

“Noora, Vilde, are you coming or what?!” Sana shouted from her room, interrupting Jamilla’s question.

“Yes, we’re coming!” Noora shouted back to Sana and got up on her feet. “I’ll send you all the details and add you to the groupchat later, okay?” she whispered to Jamilla who nodded and smiled. They couldn’t wait for it.

                                                          ***

“Remind me again why I agreed to go ice-skating with you.” Sana inquired, putting the skates on her feet.

“Because it’s fun!” Vilde exclaimed.

“And because you wanted to spend some time with us.” Noora winked at her. “And we all know that spending time together is always a good idea.”

“What’s taking you so long?” Chris inquired from the ice rink. She and Eva have already started skating.

“Ask Sana!” Noora shouted back and smiled at her.

“Sana, come on!” Eva walked out of the rink, grabbed Sana’s hands and helped her get up from the bench. “Let’s go!”

Sana, Eva and Noora joined Chris on the ice, laughing at Noora who fell over as soon as she got on the ice.

“Noora, are you alright?” Eva skated to her and helped her get back on her feet.

“I’m fine, I’m fine!” she assured them and laughed.

“Where’s Vilde?” Chris asked and all of them started to look around, only to find out that Vilde is still sitting on the bench.

“Vilde! Come on! Why are you still there?” Eva asked and walked towards her.

“I… I haven’t told you that earlier, but I kind of… don’t know how to skate?” she said quietly.

“Oh, Vilde.” Eva said softly and hugged her friend. “Come on, I’ll teach you everything. We’ll take these fun skating penguins! I’m the master of ice skating, don’t you know?” she winked at her, making Vilde laugh.

After two hours on the ice rink – quite literally, as all of them (except Eva) ended up on ice so many times – Noora invited the girls to the kollektivet for a hot chocolate.

“Ouch!” Vilde exclaimed. “I don’t know how I’ll get of the bed tomorrow, everything hurts me.”

“Ugh, same”. Chris nodded.

“Oh, don’t worry, you’ll be fine.” Eva said, wrapping her arms around Chris and Vilde.

“Says someone who hasn’t fallen over even once?” Noora asked amused.

“What can I say? I told you I’m a great skater.” Eva said proudly.

“I’m never going skating with you again.” Sana said.

“What? Why?” Eva inquired offended.

“It’s because Sana doesn’t like when someone’s better at something than her.” Noora said before Sana even opened her mouth.

“Well… yeah. True. That’s the reason, I guess.” Sana giggled as Noora opened the door to her flat.

It was unusually dark and quiet inside and it seemed as though no one was there. Sana saw the disturbed look on Noora’s face and could sense that something’s going on. Noora started to walk towards the living room, girls right behind her. When she turned on the light, suddenly the people shouting “SURPRISE” jumped out from behind the couch and doors of Linn’s and Eskild’s bedrooms. They all started singing “Happy Birthday” and only then Sana noticed the “Happy Birthday Sanasol” sign pinned to the ceiling.

“Aah, I can’t believe you’re here!” Sana said hugging Jamilla tightly.

“Of course, how could I miss this? Anyway, this is from me and your brother.” she said and gave Sana a beautifully wrapped present. When Sana opened it, she was speechles. Inside was a gorgeous red hijab with star pins.

“This is so beautiful, Jamilla!” Sana exclaimed and hugged her again. “Thank you so much!”

“I had a feeling this colour will suit you.” Jamilla winked at her.

And she was right. Sana could already imagine what she will wear on the first day of school after New Year. Black jeans, black sweater, black shoes. Red hijab and red lipstick. She is going to look totally badass. For the last couple of months she changed her style completely, she started to wear colourful outfits again, to the surprise of some people (for example her mum). But every now and then she loved getting back in her old black clothes. She used to use them as her shield, they were her defense against everything and everyone, but now whenever she wore all black she just felt so good, so badass, so bitchin’. She put the gift from Jamilla and Karim on the pile of other gifts – custom-made bracelet with a little gold sun tag with “Happy 18th birthday, Sanasol! We love you!” she got from girls, four volume set of Wreck This Journal from Elias, Adam, Mikael and Mutta (she wasn’t sure if they thought it’s a cool gift or they wanted to annoy her as she specifically told them once that she doesn’t see the point in paying lots of money to buy something as ridiculous as this), Christmas sweater with squirrels from Eskild and Linn (“Everyone needs at least one ugly Christmas sweater in their closet.” he said. Not that it matter she’s a Muslim and doesn’t celebrate Christmas at all), the star mug with tea bags set from Isak and Even. But she still hasn’t received a present from one person. She looked around the room, trying to find him. The girls and Eskild and Linn were decorating a Christmas tree while singing some songs, the balloon boys were recording something on their phones, Even and Isak were making out on the couch, and Jamilla was talking on the phone. But the person she was trying to find wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Sana started to walk towards the kitchen (‘if he is anywhere, that’s probably the place’ she thought), but then she saw with the corner of her eye the figure standing in the hallway. He was leaning against the wall under the mistletoes. She walked towards him and stood on the opposite side of the room. She could see him smile as soon as she approached him, but he was still looking at his feet instead of her.

“So…” she began and he finally dared to look at her. “I still haven’t got one present.”

“Is that so?” he asked grinning at her.

“Yes.” she nodded. “Anyway, why are you here and not there with the boys?” she asked.

“Because you were there…”

“Okay…” she was really confused at his reply.

“…and you look so beautiful today that I began to worry that I might die from the amount of cuteness.” he finished and blushed while Sana burst out with laughter.

Indeed, she was looking exceptionally beautiful today – black skinny jeans, beige oversized sweater and hijab of the same colour. As soon as she put on these clothes in the morning she knew this outfit was on point.

“What’s up with that mistletoe by the way?” Yousef asked just as S Club 7’s “Perfect Christmas” started playing.

Sana looked at the ceiling and giggled. She was here when Eskild hanged them up. He said that he’s not going to take the risk of someone passing right next to him and not kissing him (“We all deserve love during Christmas”, she recalled him saying), so instead of just one mistletoe he attached around seven of them to the ceiling so that they were in one line and no one could go inside without walking under them. Now Sana and Yousef were standing on their two ends.

“Eskild.” Sana said thinking it would be a sufficient explanation and indeed it was. “So… what about my gift?” she smiled at him.

“Fy faen, Sana, you’re so impatient! You’re aware of that, aren’t you? You can’t just wait five minutes, can you?” he laughed.

“Nope. You know that. And you love that in me.” she said, showing off her dimples.

“Yeah, I do.” he blushed, took his backpack from the ground and get the present out of it. He walked closer to her so that now they were standing just centimeters away from each other. “Happy birthday, Sana.”

She hesitantly peered into the bag and inside was a box tied with ribbon.

“Really?” she asked annoyed.

“If you thought you could get your present so easily, you were wrong.” he grinned at her and she just rolled her eyes.

She untied the ribbon and lifted the lid. When she saw what’s inside she just started laughing.

“Have you become his fan or what?” Sana asked amused.

“Nei. I just thought it would match perfectly my jersey and I didn’t want you to stand out in the crowd once we go and see him play one day.” he said.

“Oh, so basically you bought this for me so you wouldn’t look stupid because you came to see a game with someone not wearing anything from the official store?”

“Yeah, basically.” he winked at her as inside the box was nothing else than a Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry black hoodie. “Come on, you have to admit it. I gave you a lot nicer present than you gave me.”

“Excuse me but what’s wrong with the plush swan I gave you?” she asked offended. “Is it because it’s plush or is it because it’s a swan?”

“No offence, but both.” he laughed.

“Ah, how can you say something like this to me?” she poked him in the arm and pouted.

“Oh come on, Sana, don’t be mad.” he begged.

“I won’t but only because I know from Elias that you sleep with it.” she grinned at him.

“I’m…. what??? I’m not…” he mumbled, trying to think of some excuse and make Sana believe that it’s not true, only to come to the conclusion that she can see through him either way so there’s no point in trying to lie. “I don’t have any words. I’m so going to kill him.” he said making her laugh. “Just… Damn you and your brother. Why are you like this? Seriously though, is this hereditary? Should I be worried? Are our kids going to be like this, too?”

“Our kids?” she asked astonished.

“You know what I mean.” he blushed.

“I do, but I still want you to say it.” she said showing off her dimples.

“I…”

“Oh la la, look at these two lovebirds!” they heard Adam’s voice.

When Sana and Yousef turned their heads, they saw Adam and Mikael standing in the corridor and filming everything on the phone. It seemed they wanted to add something more, but they went back to the living room as soon as they saw Sana’s death stare, Mikael just patted Adam on his back and whispered “Okay, man, we’d better get out of here asap.”

“I am seriously going to kill them one day.” Yousef shook his head. He looked at Sana who was grinning at him. “What?” he asked confused.

“Nothing. I was just thinking about that mistletoe…”

“Yeah? And what about it?” he smiled shyly.

“I don’t know. We’ll have to find out.” she shrugged and put both of her arms around Yousef’s neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist. They were standing like this for a few minutes, the verses of “Perfect Christmas” still echoing in Sana’s ears.

 All our dreams are coming true at last… oooh

 The perfect ending to a wonderful year

“Happy birthday, Sana Bakkoush.” he whispered into her ear.

 Would be to celebrate the good times with you here

“Thank you, Yousef Acar.”

 Cuz I know

 For sure

 I never wanted anything more

‘Yes’, Sana thought, ‘it sounds about right’.

Welcome Back Yousef

Read on Ao3

Summary:The whole gang celebrates Yousef's return.

Notes: Y’all wanted the party, so here ya go! There are some of our favorite ships in there like yousana and evak, there are some of our not so favorites, like noorhelm and vildus (vagnus?), some we have mixed feelings about, like joneva, but the point is that it’s cannon compliant, and the ships that aren’t our favorite exist, but thet don’t get as much any “screentime” as the good ones. Also Vilde is gay because they literally set it up in the show. Theres also a special crackship that i’ve talked about before, you’re welcome. i got lazy like three paragraphs in so sorry if it’s shit.

Sunday, August 20, 2017 at 8:37 pm Multiple points of view

Yousef rolls his eyes at his friend’s impatience. He pockets his phone and doesn’t respond, figuring it’s kind of pointless when he and Sana are already standing on her front porch. 

They took their time walking back to her house, just talking about Yousef’s trip, how Sana was while he was away, and just enjoying being around each other in general.

Now, standing on Sana’s front stoop, Yousef is excited to see his friends again. He and Sana appear to be so late to his own “surprise” party, that it’s already in full swing. They can hear the music from the backyard, and the loud chatter that carries with it.

Yousef makes to walk inside, but Sana stops him. “Remember to try to look surprised. Elias will never forgive me if he finds out I ruined the surprise. I give him so much shit for it when he does it, and I don’t need to look like a hypocrite,” she exclaims as she waggles a finger at him.

He laughs and says, “Okay, I promise. Alt for deg, girl.”

She rolls her eyes fondly as they make their way inside, walking through the living room and kitchen, out to the backyard. They walk through the doors together as Yousef puts on a mock - surprised face that turns into a genuinely - surprised face. The backyard is breathtaking. There are fairy lights strung across the trees on the sides of the yard that drench the scene in an almost magical, soft glow. Everyone is wearing nice clothes, but not too formal, and chatting comfortably with one another. The whole atmosphere is just laid back and chill. It’s perfect.

The entire party seems to collectively turn to see who showed up, look back to their conversations, and then realize who it was. Un-synchronized shouts of “Surprise! Welcome back Yousef!” and scattered cheers ring through the backyard. Elias starts running back and forth, seemingly trying to figure out what to do.

“Sana! You were supposed to text me before you guys got here!” Elias exclaims, hands running back and forth along the back of his head.

Sana scrunches her face up in confusion. “What? You didn’t tell me that!”

Elias gives her a skeptical look. “Ja, I did. I told you yesterday!”

Sana raises an unimpressed eyebrow. “Nei, you did not tell me! I would have remembered if you did.”

Elias deflates slightly. “Oh. I thought I’d told you before.”

Sana just shakes her head in disappointment as Eva busts out laughing from somewhere in the back of the yard, Noora consolingly patting her shoulder. The attendees start to resume their previous conversations as Sana makes her way over to the back of the yard.

Noora is still patting Eva’s shoulder, William standing behind her with a confused expression painting his face. Jonas is standing behind Eva with a fond, amused look on his face.

Surprisingly, Eva isn’t even drunk. There’s no alcohol at this party, as it’s at the Bakkoush’s house, but this is something that Sana would typically expect out of Drunk Eva.

“What’s happening?” Sana inquires as she gives Eva a skeptical look. When Eva only laughs harder, Sana turns to Noora for explanation. “I have no idea.” She says simply.

A minute passes while Eva gathers herself again, moving away from Noora and standing on her own. Jonas takes this as a queue to step forwards and rub her back.

“I was just talking to Even earlier. He said that you and Elias have always been so much alike, but every time someone would tell you that, you’d look at each other and start shaking your heads and deny it. Then, right after he said that, Elias came over to us to say hi, and asked what we were talking about. Even told him, and he turned to me and was like, ‘Nei nei nei, he’s been on this for like, nine years, this guy has no idea what he’s talking about.’ So then we started talking about something else, but then you and Yousef show up, and you were like, ‘Why didn’t you tell me?’ and he was like, ‘I thought I’d told you before.’” Eva looks at Sana, waiting for her to start laughing along, but Sana just looks confused. “Don’t you remember? Back in first year, it was the three of us,” she gestures to herself, Sana, and Noora, “In the library? We were talking about, uhm, Chris! Penetrator Chris and Ingrid hooked up at that one party and you saw it, but you never told me until we were in the library together?”

Sana and Noora start giggling along too, as Noora jumps in too, trying to talk over the giggles.

“Ooh, ooh, remember that time-” Noora begins, just in time as Chris and Vilde jump into the conversation.

“Halla, girls,” Chris greets.

“What are we talking about?” Vilde asks.

“Just reminiscing about the good times, yeah?” Noora sighs as she throws an arm over both Eva and Vilde’s shoulders. Vilde smiles and laughs along as she rests her head on Noora’s shoulder, and Noora squeezes tighter.

“Oh, remember the whole cabin trip during easter break in first year? And the Ouija Board? The one that-”

“Oh yeah, and the magic hijab-” “The one that said-” “And the no reply on Jodel-” “-THAT SAID WILLIAM WAS THINKING OF NOORA, AND JONAS STILL LOVED EVA, AND, AND, ISAK WAS GAY!” “-AND CHRIS SAID THE SPIRITS WERE SMOKING CRACK BUT LOOK AT HIM NOW!”

“-AND THE POTATOES!” Vilde and Noora shriek in unison, pointing at each other as they dissolve into uncontrollable laughing.

(Half the party is looking at the group of them by now, among them is the most confused, Isak, who just heard his name shouted along with the fact that he’s gay, and something about an Ouija Board. He’ll ask Eva about it later. None of the girls notice the looks being shot their way.) “Hva faen is the deal with potatoes and you two?” Chris asks, exasperated.

Noora and Vilde share a fond look for a moment before Vilde quips, “Your body needs potatoes.” Before anyone else can inquire about the mysterious potatoes, the girls all burst into more rounds of trying to shout over each other and coming up with the best remember this’s.

Jonas and William make eye contact over the group of oblivious girls and both shake their heads, silently understanding that there’s a mutual confusion plaguing them both. Both boys take this as a queue to leave.

Jonas lets out a huff of laughter as he spots Isak not too far away, in the corner of the yard with Even. As he approaches, he watches the exchange between the two of them. Even is standing close to Isak, hand resting on Isak’s upper back, as he leans in for a kiss. Even seems to expect a long kiss, whilst Isak only gives him a short peck and turns back to his plate of food he has in hand.

“...love food more than you love me,” Even whines as Jonas draws close enough near to hear the conversation.

“Maybe I do,” Isak shoots back, chin upturned with sass. Even feigns offense and puts a hand on his chest, gasping a scandalized breath to go with it.

Isak looks up at him with hooded eyes and says quietly, but still loud enough for Jonas to hear, “Nei. Nothing more than you.” Even smiles a bright smile and kisses Isak again, who actually returns more than a quick peck this time.

“Blegh,” Jonas says as he approaches. “You two are gross,” he grumbles, though his tone and the smile he shoots at Isak suggest anything but that.

“Halla gutta,” Magnus interjects loudly as he and Madhi step into the group.

A chorus of hallas ring around the circle as Magnus breaks it, stepping forwards to greet Even with a tight hug. Isak’s eye twitches when the hug lingers for more than one second, but Jonas thinks he’s the only one that saw it.

“What’s happening over there?” Isak questions, raising his fork and pointing in the general direction of the still shrieking girls, who are currently yelling something about Noora chewing out William in first year and William’s pubic hair.

Jonas just gives him a sideways look before responding, “I don’t even know myself, man. Something about Ouija Boards and Jodel and potatoes.” The boys laugh and shake their heads. “Yeah, but uh, how is everything? I know we haven't talked as much recently, we’ve both been busy lately. But it’s good? With you and Eva, I mean?” Isak prods. Magnus, Madhi, and Even have turned to their own conversation already, so now it’s just him and Isak.

“Det går bra, det går bra,” Jonas replies as he bobs his head. “I really think we can make it work this time. Just from the couple of months we’ve spent back together, I can see how much she’s grown without me in a year and a half. And it’s all for the better. We’ve both grown into ourselves a bit more now, and I feel better than I have in a long time.” Isak looks back at Jonas with a soft expression. Isak knows in detail more than anyone else about the messy start to their relationship the first time around, and knows better than anyone else how much it had hurt Jonas when he and Eva had split up.

Isak and Jonas exchange a private smile that Even catches out of the corner of his eye. As Mahdi says something else that makes Magnus shriek in protest, and Jonas and Isak join in the roasting session, he takes this as an opportunity to slip out of the group, quickly squeezing Isak’s shoulder before leaving the boys to their own devices for a little while (no one is drunk, so he’s not too worried about leaving them alone).

Even takes a few long strides to over where Elias, Yousef, and Sana are all standing together. “She’s the one that spoiled it, man!” Elias exclaims. Yousef looks down at Sana, who’s standing close by his side.

“Nah. You brought it up in the chat first.”

“That’s no fair, bro. You’re only taking her side because you like her.” “Aww, Elias! Are you jealous!? It’s okay, I like you too,” Yousef sarcastically coos. He reaches out and wraps Elias in a hug that’s half bro hug but half soft and caring.

“I do. I love you,” Yousef says to him. Sana and Even watch the exchange fondly as he catches her eye over the tops of the boys’ heads. She gives him her signature Sana Smirk, and his eyes twinkle right back at her. Yousef and Elias untangle with rapid pats on each other’s backs. Yousef steps back and says something lowly into Sana’s ear. She nods and the two walk away, not touching but still unnecessarily close to one another. Even watches them for a few moments, observing their interactions. He’s happy for Yousef. He’s over the fucking moon stoked for Yousef. Even knows how long he’s been pining for Sana (and how Sana pined for him, because let’s be honest, they’re not subtle when they’re together), and he’s glad they finally got together. He watches as they make their way over to the snack table, which is empty save the two of them. As soon as they have a little privacy they immediately start flirting. Within a few moments, Yousef has already thrown approximately three Cheetos at Sana, one of which got stuck somewhere in the folds her hijab. It appears to be lost now as they both pick through the grey fabric, dissolving into uncontrollable giggles. Even though Sana was going through a rough time a couple of months ago, and he’s glad to see her genuinely laughing and smiling again.

Even is pulled back to reality when he hears Elias sigh next to him. He turns back to Elias only to find him also staring at his sister and best friend.

“I’m happy she’s happy,” he says simply. Even smiles to himself. Even after years of zero interaction, Elias still manages to voice his internal thoughts aloud.

He turns back to face Even fully.

“Are you happy?” Elias asks it so simply. No judgement. No overbearing worry. No nosy snooping. Just genuinely wanting to know how his friend is.

Even’s small smile turns into a wider one, but still humble.

“Yes.” Elias meets his eyes and nods, matching his smile. They’ll have time to talk more later, but for now, that’s all they need. “But it’s good to have you back, man.” Elias offers as he claps a hand on Even’s shoulder.

As if on queue, Mutta, Mikael, and Adam pop up to his right, all offering their own hands to pat his other shoulder or rub circles on his back.

He’s amazed how their old dynamic picked back up so quickly despite the history and how things had ended. Even is overwhelmed with love for these boys, who just accepted him back into the squad without anyone blinking twice.

“But what about you? How are things with Isabelle?” Even asks, and Elias’s smile grows as he looks at the floor. All the other boys chime in and start in on him about his situation with her.

Mutta had already talked to Elias earlier this week, so he knows the inside scoop.

He walks over to the snack table and piles his fourth plate up with junk food. Another girl approaches the table, plate already in hand with crumbs on it. She’s wearing a t-shirt with a french fry pattern on the shoulders, along with a purple and pink jacket thrown over it and a unicorn headband in her thin, brown hair.

“Jeez, this is like my third plate!” She exclaims. She smiles in Mutta’s direction as he laughs.

“It’s my fourth. I got you beat,” he counters playfully.

The girl looks up and meets his eyes. She had just taken a bite off of her plate and has her fork in her mouth. She seems to have swallowed her food, but is spinning the fork around in her mouth.

Mutta takes this opportunity to take in the girl’s entire appearance. She’s much shorter than him, a little stocky and judging from her wardrobe choice, quirky. He looks back up to her face and takes in her soft features.

She’s beautiful. Suddenly he’s hyper aware of the fact that she’s eyeing him up and down, slowly as she continues to spin the fork around in her mouth.

“I’m Chris. I know you’re Mutta, but we haven’t really met yet.” She says. He smiles at her and offers his hand. He accepts it.

“Hi Chris, I’m Mutta. You just said that, though. Uh, sorry. Why am I still shaking your hand?” Chris glances down at their joined hands, which are still shaking in the space between them.

They hold eye contact for what feels like another two minutes (it’s actually more like six, but who's counting)

Vilde watched the exchange from her spot in the yard, as Magnus comes up behind her. “Everything good?” “Yeah. Great,” She smiles at him. She means it. Magnus smiles and kisses the side of her head and squeezes her hand. “Just checking in.” He walks away back to the group of boys nearby, consisting of Mahdi, Mikael, Adam, Even, Isak and Elias.

Sana appears to her left and leans in to nudge her shoulder. “You’re seeing it too?” Sana asks through giggles, referencing the eye-fucking taking place at the food table. “Yeah,” Vilde giggles along. She cocks her head a little. “It seems different this time though. Do you know Mutta well?” She turns to look at Sana.

“I’ve known him for a long time.” Sana responds after a moment. She glances back at Chris and Mutta. “I’ve never really considered it before, but now that I think about it, the two of them make total sense.” “Yeah?” “Yeah.”

Yousef approaches them both with a warm smile at Vilde and a dopey, love-sick one for Sana. “Hei,” she greets him. “Halla.”

“I’m going to go talk to Eva. Let me know if anything new happens over there,” Vilde interjects quickly, before leaving Yousef and Sana by themselves.

“Are you having fun?”

“Of course! Takk. Serr, takk. This was so nice.” “I didn’t do this! Mikael and Elias planned it all.” Yousef shoots her a skeptical look. “We both know that’s a lie.” Sana giggles and nods. “Yeah. But most of the decorating was Vilde, she volunteered to set it all up the second she heard about it.”

“But still. It’s amazing.”

“You’re welcome.”

She takes a step closer to him and leans into his side for a moment.

“I’m really glad you’re back. Like, really, really glad.”

Yousef grins to himself like an idiot. He takes in the scene in front of him, the Bakkoush’s backyard brimming with people that love him.

“I am too. Like, I really, really am. I love all of you so much.”

Notes: uh yeah, so what do you all think about chris / mutta? I’ts such a concept I love it. this entire chapter was just foreshadowing what ill write more about in the future, (gayvilde) (EliasandIsabelle) (JonasandIsak) etc.

What Yousef Acar was doing before Sana’s call

Yousef didn’t feel like meeting anyone that day. He is leaving tommorrow and all the preparations made him tired.

And Sana… If he could only knew what she was thinking, what was hidden behind that beautiful hazel eyes. Her messages left him heartbroken once again.

And yet somehow Elias & the boys made him go out.

‘It’s your last night in Oslo! We have to celebrate!’ said Adam and Yousef couldn’t not laugh at that.

'Ok, so what are we gonna do then?’ he asked.

Mikael clapped his hands and said:

'What about the last Hei Briskeby video before you leave? We can do it at mine place…’

'Yeah, guys, but Even is also coming’ Elias reminded them.

Yousef gave him a huge smile.

'Even is coming? That’s awesome, bro. He can join us, he will be our special guest in the video!’

'I like your newfound optimism, Yossi’ said Mutta giving him a small punch.

'Newfound? I am always like that’

Elias gave him a strange look.

'You can’t lie to us, Acar. We know you.’

'Yeah. Is that about that Noora girl? Because she got back with her boyfriend?’ asked Adam

'Noora?’ Yousef was surprised, but then his shook his head. 'No, it was never Noora.’

For a moment he thought Elias gave him a knowing look, but…is he really aware? Boys didn’t ask him more questions as they arrived at Mikael’s few minutes later. Even was already there waiting for them. They hugged, they laughed and they all went inside.

Then the phone rang. His phone.

'Who is it?’ asked Adam curiously.

'It’s…It’s Sana.’ said Yousef with a shaking voice.

He found Elias’s unreadable gaze.

'Are you not gonna answer it?’ His best friend chuckled.

He also laughed akwardly. The rest of the boys went silent watching this strange conversation.

Only Mutta muttered ’ What’s wrong with Sana’s calling? It’s just Sana…“ But Adam hushed him immediately and gave him a pointed look.

'Answer it! You fool! She likes you!’ Even laughed.

'And how YOU know about that?“ asked both Elias and Yousef at the same time.

'She told Isak this monday.’ Even shrugged with a half-smile.

Then Yousef sighed with relief and finally answered the phone. When he heard her sweet and shaking voice, he felt like his heart was melting. 

Once again he glanced at Elias smirking and then Even, remembering what he once said. Take desperate to the new level. His Bakka motto.

'Of course we can meet. When do you want me to meet you? Where do I meet you? I’ll meet you whenever you want.’

Forever & Always

PART 2

Sana´s mom was watching the two teenagers from the window. They were laughing and staring into each other´s eyes, it seemed that they were enjoying the moment so she chose not to interrupt this time.

“What are you looking at?” Elias asked his mother as he aproched her. She just pointed at the window with her finger and smiled.

“They are cute together, aren´t they” Elias was happy because his sister and his best friend were happy together, he has seen his sister cry sometimes over the past couple months that watching her with a huge smile in her face was amazing.

“They are” She turned around and faced her son “Did you knew they liked each other?” Sana had talked with her about Yousef, but she didn´t knew if she had talked with Elias.

“Kind of, Sana didn´t tell me exactly that she liked him, but Yousef opened up with me about it recently” He put his arm around his mother´s shoulder as they both stared at the couple outside “Actually, he has been into her for a long time, but he didn´t know if she liked him back” It was kind of weird at the beggining getting used to the idea that his best friend was in love with his sister, and that he used the word “soulmates” to refer to her, but watching them now, staring into each other´s eyes helped him to connect all the dots. They were made for each other.

“You know, I´ve known Yousef for a long time, but seeing him as one of your friends is completely different as seeing him as the boy your sister likes” As a mom watching you children grow is never easy, and it´s even harder when you are talking about your little girl, you just want to protect them, but you just have to let them grow.

“Are you going to ask her about today?” Elias was worried of his mom attacking Sana with questions, she tends to do that sometimes.

“No” She scratched her hair a little and looked at her son “Lets give them privacy, we´ve been stalking them for a while”

Elias smiled and followed his mother to the kitchen. Everything was okay now. ……………………………………………………………………………………………
