Summary
🤩 Completed 🤩
“Good morning Charlie! I’m afraid it’s a seating plan. All part of the new system. I’ve sat you on that table at the back, next to Nick Nelson, whenever he arrives. Uh, that won’t be a problem will it?”
Oh no, Charlie thought desperately, please, anybody other than Nick Nelson.
Clearly, Charlie’s hesitation showed, as Mr Lange looked a tad uncomfortable.
“I need someone I can trust with him, please Charlie?”Everyone at Truham Grammar knows Nick Nelson, including a particular curly haired year 10 called Charlie Spring who may or may not have a secret crush from afar on him. When in Year 10, Nick was outed as bisexual and brutally assaulted on school property, closeted Year 9 Charlie vowed he would never tell a soul he was gay until he was done with school. A year later, Nick is out, popular, and King of Rugby. And Charlie? Charlie is so far in the closet he might as well be in Narnia. NOBODY knows Charlie is gay, not even his big sister Tori. Everything is going to stay that way, until a change in form group arrangements threatens everything.

Summary
The diner AU. Even and Yousef open a 1950s American-style restaurant together - Even is the creative genius in the kitchen, Yousef keeps the trains running on time, and Isak, Chris B, and Magnus are all along for the ride. Falling in love over food while Elvis serenades from the jukebox. Welcome to the Throwback Diner.
---
The next couple of minutes are a complete blur of Yousef wishing Isak luck under his breath, then loudly saying goodbye to Even and hurrying out the door, and Even leading Isak to one of the only booths not covered with elements of the remodel, the two of them settling into their seats, Even asking him again if he’d like anything, and Isak, partly because he wants to delay things and partly because his throat now feels like fucking sandpaper, asking for some water. It’s not until he’s completely alone for a moment that he’s able to have a quick, stern talk with himself about calming down and just getting through this. If he can keep his cool for just a few minutes, do his best to ignore Even’s jawline and incredible eyes and, yeah, pretty much everything else about him, he might just come out of this with a job.

Summary
“Cool shirt”. Isak nodded at the guy's chest, where a faded print of Notorious B.I.G.’s face was plastered over the front. "...Very oldschool." He added with a smirk.
“Thanks. You're a Biggie-fan?” the guy smiled.
Isak licked his bottom lip. “Uh huh, sure, I like the old stuff, like Juicy.“
∙
Or, Isak is a first-year biochemistry student at Oslo University and is going through a dry-spell. Magnus thinks he’s getting desperate and dares him to talk to a really attractive guy in the uni cafeteria just for the heck of it.- Language:
