Chapter Text
Isak has been making gaming videos since he was 13 on youtube. And when he made his coming out video at 17, his channel evolved to being mostly vlog style, which was the best change he could of made because it completely reinvented his channel and the change is to credit for his success and profit on youtube now at 23.
Isak is so open with his viewers who have shared nothing but love for him and his videos, he’s vulnerable and honest with them except they still dont know who Even is, his boyfriend.
They know he has a boyfriend, he has been dating Even since he was 19 but Even never felt comfortable enough to put himself on screen. Isak begged him for months but Even told him he didn't want to, with Isak having an audience of just over two million, the mere thought of putting himself out there to all these people he didn't know was terrifying so Isak let it go and didn't habor on it. Some people knew who he was, the rare few that ran into Isak on the street and wanted to take a picture and they would be seriously clueless if they thought the dude always standing a couple feet away awkwardly was just a friend.
But after speaking with Isak a couple nights ago, Even told him that hes comfortable making a video for his channel if Isak wanted. Isak tweeted that he was finally going to make a video with his boyfriend and the internet went nuts. He told them to ask them questions with the hashtag for
a Q&A and Isak’s notifications were flooded.
Isak asks Even to join him in his filming room. He comes into the room and sits down beside him in front of the bright ring light.
“You okay?” Isak ask. Even nods, “It’ll be weird but I’ll be fine.”
Isak nods and kiss him, “Whatever you're uncomfortable with, we’ll just cut out”
Even nods and squeezes Isaks thigh, “Okay, I have the questions on my phone and we could just scroll through them, okay?” Isak ask Even to stand on the side and when he introduces him, he can come into frame
Even agrees as Isak turns the camera on and sits back down
“‘Hey guys, Im back with another video. A highly requested one. Today, Im finally finally
introducing you guys to my favorite man in the world.” He smiles looking up at Even behind the camera.
“You guys have hassled me forever and hes finally making a video with me. My
boyfriend, Even.” Even walks in front of the camera and sits down and waves, “Hi.”
Isak giggles at Evens awkwardness in front of the camera, “So this is Even.” He introduces holding Even by his jaw, “And we’re going to film a Q&A.”
“Ready?” Isak ask looking up at him. Even nods as Isak scrolls twitter.
“Okay first lets just tell them how we met and then we can answer specific questions. Do you want to tell them”
“Okay so--we met about four and a half years ago, I saw him. I knew I wanted him so I went to go talk to him and we kind of just kept hanging out and yeah one thing led to another.” He says shyly. Isak laughs and shakes his head,
“You’re bad at this babe. Okay, so we were at some music event and thats when Even came up to me. He's shy now but Even is actually really outgoing and was very clearly hitting on me. Turned out we lived in the same town, so we would hang out, our friends would hang out together. One day, he took me swimming and we kissed and yeah, things kind of happened from there. And we've been together for four years. Okay official questions now."
Isak looks down scrolling his phone, “Who said I love you first and where were we?” He ask looking up at Even.
“I did, and we were in bed.”
“Yeah, it was pretty early in our relationship but I think we just knew.” Even nods agreeing with Isak.
"Favorite feature about each other?" Isak reads off asking Even, who looks up at the ceiling and blushes when he thinks about it.
Isak looks up at and him smiles, "I know, what you want to say"
"What?" Even ask.
"My ass?" Even smiles and nods, "Okay obviously all of Isak is great but" Even gets Isak to stand up and turn around, "You can't tell because he wears baggy pants but guys, it's unreal especially for how small he is but yeah I really like his butt. You should insert that picture at the beach" Even says to Isak as he sits down .
"This is the photo he's talking about." The image pops on the screen of Isak in his fitted teal swimmers. "Okay, my favorite about Even is his eyes and his lips"
"I didn't know that" Even says appreciative. Isak nods and kisses his lips.
"Do you want to choose one?" Isak ask Even seeing he's getting more comfortable. Even takes the phone and scrolls Isaks notifications,
"There's a lot of raunchy ones. Do I skip over it?"
Isak nods, "Choose whatever you want to answer"
Even finally lands on one, "Favorite thing to do together?"
"We like music. So we go to alot of concerts together, we like to eat and just chill. We're pretty boring"
"When was our first time and how was it? "
Isak looks up at Even surprised, "Didn't think you would ask that"
"I'm kind of curious what you'll say"
Isak chuckles, "Our first time was like two months into dating. Even came over to mine and it wasn't planned but we had been doing other stuff already but my roommates were out and we were making out and we just knew it was going to happen. And how was it? Um it was good"
Isaks voice squeaks at good, "You don't seem too sure" Even points out
"No, no it was good. It was just my first time with a guy so it was a lot and-- you know how it went, I don't need to explain it but for those of you out there who haven't lost your virginity yet, it might not be as great as you imagine."
"But its great now " Even adds
Isak nods and pecks his lips, "Very great now. Okay, ask the next question"
"What is one thing I do that you wish I didn't?" Even ask.
Isak takes his time thinking about it, "I don't know, probably like, leave dishes in the sink or something or kiss me in front of your parents"
"They don't care, they kiss in front of us. It's only fair"
"Yeah, yeah Even. What about me?" Isak ask
"Isak can get mad really easily. For instance, if I leave dishes in the sink or whatever it is, he just won't talk to me for hours"
"Then why can't you do it if you know it bothers me" Isak pouts
"Because I'll get to it when I get to it" He teasingly pouts back. Isak playfully rolls his eyes and reads off another, "Have we talked about kids?"
Isak decides to answer, "We have, Even wants kids, I'm not sure if I do, my opinion may change but we're not ready now anyway"
"Who usually wins at an argument?" Isak cheekily ask Even
Even glares, "Why did you pick that one?"
"Because I want to know the answer"
"You know it's you because you're stubborn"
"You just can't resist me baby, it's okay" Isak mocks him and Even leans in and kisses him, whispering "Dont start something you won't finish"
Isak blushes getting a bit turned on, "Okay last question, " He stammers.
"What do we do to cheer the other one up when they are down?"
"When I'm upset, you either cuddle me, kind of help me breathe and be present and stuff. Sometimes you give me my alone time"
"I think it's pretty much the same for me, just you holding me helps. So that's it for this video guys, I hope the wait was worth it. If you want more of Even, give the video a thumbs up and I'll see you guys soon" Isak stands up to turn off the camera and as soon as he does, Even wraps his arms around his waist, pulling Isak into his lap, "What?" Isak ask looking at his boyfriend. Even simply kisses him in reply.
.
When the video goes up, the response is only slightly overwhelming. Even is glad he doesn't have social media because with the way Isaks phone is going off, it's a little much but it's all insanely positive.
can't believe we meet him after so long
wtf, he's so hot??? you guys are so cute
9:41 what did even whisper in his ear?
