Kardemomme Kisses - Evak

• Heartache •

»Just tell me directly.
Why were you hiding from me?
Baby, write me a text.
Where you say that you still love me.
Do it easy and direct.
I do not have time for you to mess around with me.
Just tell me directly.
Why were you hiding from me?
Baby, write me a text.
Where you say that you still love me.«

He couldn't take it anymore.
It's only been a few hours after their fight and Isak was already missing Even.
The two had fought about Even going out to drink alcohol behind Isak's back.
Even wasn't supposed to drink, since that made his manic episodes worse.
But he did it anyway, which made Isak upset.

Even had left the house, probably drinking alcohol at a bar.
Isak laid on their bed, which smelled so much like the man he loved so much.

»How often do I wonder how you're doing?
So little sleep every day,
it's getting late.
When was the last time I went out at night?
I know you will never understand me either.
Baby, you don't have to lie.«

The music was almost too loud for Even's ears, but he didn't care.
He didn't like to walk around alone, he usually never did that anyway.
But his second, really heavy fight with Isak made him question himself and their relationship.
A few tears ran down on Even's cheeks, burning his skin more than the "Russian water" was burning his throat.
"Isak", Even breathed out, his voice sounded broken and dead.

»What do you do with me?
Is the question that torments me when I'm watching "Verliebt in Berlin". [In love in Berlin]
I am waiting for the text.
Baby, tell me how you are.
In itself, everything here
No problem at all.
If you don't play with me.«

"Even", Isak cried out, his tears almost suffocated him.
With all the energy that was left in his body, Isak stood up.
He put a pair of sneakers on, a jacket and a red scarf.
After locking the door he ran out in the streets, looking for Even.
His heart was aching in his chest, it hurt so much.
He needed Even back.
He couldn't live without him.

»Running through the night just to see you.
Just tell me directly.
Why were you hiding from me?
Baby, write me a text.
Where you say that you still love me.
Just tell me directly.
Why were you hiding from me?
Baby, write me a text.
Where you say that you still love me.«

Even had to sit down on a bench.
Otherwise he would've just fallen down to his knees.
His heart was hurting in his chest, he felt it in his ribs and everywhere.
He needed Isak.
He couldn't survive without him.

»Just tell me directly.
Why were you hiding from me?
Baby, write me a text.
Where you say that you still love me.«

Isak could see him from afar.
"Even!", Isak said, he was too weak to say his name louder.
"Isak!", Even sounded exhausted too.
Even stood up from the bench, completely ignoring that the bottle with the "Russian water" slipped out of his hand.
It fell and shattered to pieces.
Isak ran towards Even and hugged him.
"I will never ever let you go again", Even said, tears were running down his cheeks.
Isak looked him into his ocean blue eyes.
"I will never ever let you go again, too", the smaller Norwegian said, still crying.

The two kissed each other.
It was a soft kiss, with the aftertaste of alcohol.
But the kiss also made their hearts stop hurting.
The pain faded away and their wounds healed.
Even took a deep breath.
"I love you and I promise to stop drinking", Even said, a weak smile ran across his face.
"Tusen takk. Jeg elsker deg, Even", Isak said, smiling weakly as well. ["Thank you so much. I love you, Even."]
"Thank you for running after me, my love", Even said, leaning his forehead against Isak's forehead.
"No problem. I'd run everywhere to find you, my love", Isak said and Even smiled.

»I saved you right back.«
»Yes, princess Vivian.«
