"Thank you." Magnus said when Even helped him get an action figure from the top of the shelf.

Even smiled sinking into the sofa at the corner of the toy store.

Magnus didn't know Even well. Actually they had never talked until yesterday. After knowing his favorite series of action figures was out this Wednesday, Magnus called at least ten local toyshops before finally found one, which was two-hour drive from school, had it. However, since there were only three left in the store and lots of people wanted this series, the owner promised to keep it for him until Saturday.

Jonas, his best friend and only friend who owned a car, had just sent it to fix yesterday and wouldn't get it back until next week. So he asked Alex, his neighbor, to drive him instead. When he got all excited listing all the things he wanted to buy, a terrible storm hit on Friday. According to the news, it was one of the largest storms in ten years. He was not surprised when Alex told him he could not drive him there in this kind of weather.

So on Friday night, instead of enjoying the party in the common room, he desperately asked if anyone could drive him tomorrow. Almost everyone turned him down immediately. As he collapsed on the couch wondering who he didn't ask yet, a hand tapped on his shoulder. "I can drive you."

It was Even. They had history class together last semester. Magnus did not like him. Not only because Even aced that course and he almost failed it, but because Vilde, the girl he had a crush on, was crazy about him. When a girl you were into liked a boy who was smarter, taller, richer (He drove a Porsche) and hotter than you, all you could do was not to talk to him or at least not to ask him for help. But…this series of action figures was a limited edition, and the most important part of his collection since he was ten. So… "Thank you, Even!"

On the way to downtown on Saturday afternoon, he must repeat thank you for more than a hundred times that Even almost forgot what it meant.

When Magnus asked the owner about all the things on his shopping list, Even looked around the shelves. He was never into movies or cartoons so he did not get why people would spend so much money on these things.

As he stood by the door smoking, an action figure at the bottom of the shelf caught his eye. It was a boy, an incredibly cute boy with a dark red snapback and a khaki flight jacket, small like the length of his thumb.

"Magnus?"

"Even, I 'll be real quick!" Magnus counted the items on his list, "I only have three left."

"Take your time." Even put out the cigarette, "Do you know which movie he is in?"

Magnus shook his head.

He was still looking at it when Magnus carried a big shopping bag standing beside him. "Do you want to buy it? You have stared it for a long time."

"No." Even put it back.

However, after ten minutes, he signed walking out of the toy store with a bag. "Magnus, thank you, but I don't…"

"Dude, you like it, you couldn't take your eyes off it since we came in." Magnus nudged Even's shoulder, "Just a small gift for driving me all the way here."

They were back to school around 7:00 at night.

Taking the action figure out of the packing box, Even looked at it longer before started doing his bio homework.

He was never good at biology but it was a mandatory course that he had to pass. Around one o'clock in the morning, he got so sleepy that he decided to wake up earlier next day to finish the rest of it. He set alarm before falling asleep.

When did I do this? Six in the morning, after washed up, he found his homework was already done. Looking at the horrible handwriting, Even's fingers tugged into his hair. Did I sleepwalk? Are these answers even correct?

"Good job, Even."It turned out all the answers were correct when he got it back from the professor. Holy shit! I am a fucking genius!

For the following two weeks, he always woke up finding his bio homework finished if he had trouble doing it the previous night. Is this a subconscious thing?

Aside from the homework, there were more weird things happening.

His snacks kept missing. He bought two bags of chips the other day planning to eat while staying up for his history project. But when he went back from study room after just twenty minutes, they were gone. On Valentine's Day, he received a lot of chocolates. However, the next morning, there were only two boxes of chocolate left on the desk. He doubted if he had some problems with his memory.

Tonight, he left the lamp on before lying on the bed. As sleepiness flooded through him, he heard small crunching sounds from his desk. Slowly getting off the bed, he walked closer to the desk.

What the fuck is that?

He held his breath seeing the action figure, that cute boy, was sitting on his bio homework eating the cookies he bought for breakfast. The crumbs were everywhere.

I must be dreaming he thought when the boy stood up shaking off crumbs on his clothes before grabbing, uh, carrying the pencil that was so much taller than him to write. Seeing the familiar, and horrible handwriting, he realized how his homework was always done in the morning.

The boy was so concentrated that he did not notice he was standing on the edge of the desk. As he walked backwards to read next line, he fell off.

Shit! It would take me all night to climb back here he closed his eyes while falling. Instead of hitting on the floor, he landed on something soft.

Even still felt like dreaming looking at this boy sitting in the center of his palm. Both of them seemed surprised to see each other. No one broke the silence until "Buuuuaaah!" The boy burped loudly. He blushed covering his mouth, but he still could not stop. Even laughed putting him back on the desk while pouring some water in a bottle cap. "Can you talk?"

The boy shook his head while drinking quickly. The water that dripped down his chin wetted his clothes. After finding a small towel for him, Even asked, "What should I call you?" handing him a shorter pencil, "Do you want to write it down?"

Seeing the four letters the boy carefully wrote down, Even smiled, "Halla, Isak."

"Thank you for doing my homework."

You are welcome.

"How do you know biology this well?"

I read your book.

"Uh…I read it too."

So for the rest of the night, Even was chatting with Isak, more like he was chatting and Isak was typing. (Seeing Isak struggled to write with the pencil, Even pushed his phone to him. "Try this.")

"So are you full now?" Even smiled looking at the half bitten cookie on the desk.

Sorry. Isak blushed brushing away the crumbs on the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay." Even tore a piece of paper off his notebook, "What do you like to eat? I'll go grocery tomorrow."

Isak hesitated for a moment before typing. Sweet.

"Like chocolates?" Isak nodded. "Donuts?" Nodded more eagerly, "Candies?" Even swore he saw Isak's eyes lighting up.

"Okay, Isak. I got it." He wrote down all the things Isak wanted on the paper.

Even didn't know when he fell asleep on the desk. He woke up around 8 in the morning. Isak was still sleeping in his palm. Although he tried to move him onto his pillow without waking him up, Isak sat up hugging his index finger. "Isak, it's eight. My class starts at eight thirty." Isak closed his eyes nodding while wrapping around tighter. Feeling the warmth and softness around his finger, Even smiled, "I'll see you at 12:00?" Isak shook his head persistently until Even suggested, "Do you want to come with me to the class?"

Before leaving, "Okay, Isak. You can use this phone to watch movies, listen to music or do anything in my pocket, but," Even plugged the ear buds into his phone, "You cannot make any sound, okay?"

For the next three days, Even brought Isak to all of his classes. Isak was really quiet and everything was fine.

Until "Isak, no! I know you love all these things, I can get them for you, I promise! Stay inside!" Even struggled to stop Isak from crawling out of his pocket when they were at the food area in a grocery store. On the drive back, Even could hear the loud crunching sounds from the backseat. "Isak, you will become a chubby ball if you keep eating like this." Even laughed, "And you won't be able to fit into my pocket." By the time they arrived at the dorm, two bags of candies were already gone.

The next morning, Even woke up finding Isak was white, like really white. "Oh my god, Isak. What happened to you?" He rubbed his eyes before seeing the words that Isak already typed on his phone. I ate a powdered donut. "Okay, come here. I need to wipe your face." Then he saw Isak running towards him leaving a line of small white footprints on his blanket.

Today, Isak was still asleep beside his pillow when Even woke up. His body disappeared under a small blanket that Even made for him, only his curly hair was outside. After calling him twice with no response, Even left for his class before putting breakfast and lunch beside the bed.

" Isak?" He came back to dorm right after school. No one answered. "Isak, where are you?" The water was running in the bathroom.

As he walked in, a blond boy was showering. "Who are you?" Even frowned, "How did you get in?"

The boy turned off the water smiling at him. "E…ven." He seemed to have trouble speaking.

"You know me?"

He nodded.

"Do I know you?"

He nodded more eagerly this time. Looking at those familiar green eyes, a thought passed Even's mind quickly. No, that is impossible. Seeing the water dripping down from his hair, Even covered a towel on his shoulders.

He looked so young, not like a college student.

"Is the shower in your room broken?" Even's voice softened, "You can't just walk in here without asking me."

The boy was still staring at him and suddenly sneezed. Even signed looking around, "Where are you clothes?"

"They are w…wet" He pointed at the corner of the sink. Even's eyes widened spotting the tiny snapback, the jacket and jeans.

He looked back at the boy immediately. "Who are you?"

"Isak."

Even shook his head while walking out of bathroom, "You can't be. " He quickly looked under the blanket, the pillow, the bed, anywhere that could fit Isak.

"I am!"

"I am Isak!"

But Even was still searching everywhere.

"Look at me!"

When Even finally turned around, the boy was gone, only a towel on the ground. Something was moving under it.

As he picked up the towel, Isak was sitting on the floor staring at him angrily. He was tiny again.

"God," Even murmured, "You really are Isak."

"Pfffff."Isak turned his back to him.

"Isak, you..." Even touched his shoulder. "You look so different…" Still refusing to look back, "Do you want to turn big again?" He shook his head.

Even smiled while sliding his fingertip down Isak's spine, "Isak, you are naked now, I can see everything." Isak suddenly blushed while covering himself with the corner of the towel.

"You clothes are all wet. I don't have any clothes that fit you if you stay like this. So you'll have to …" Before he could finish, Isak turned back to a teenage boy, still angry. "H…how come you didn't recognize me? I stayed with you all the time this week. I…I did your Bio homework and you…" He swallowed the rest of the sentence when Even cupped his face.

"Isak." Even grinned, "You can talk now."

"Yeah… "

Stroking his lips, "I like your voice."

"Thank you…"

"What did you want to say before? Sorry to interrupt."

"Uh…uh," Isak tried hard to recall, "I forgot…"

"I am so sorry I didn't recognize you." Pulling him closer, Even looked at his face. "It won't happen again, okay?" Isak felt his face was really hot while looking into those blue eyes, his mouth opened and,

"A choo!"

"Do you want to wear a hoodie or a T-shirt?" Even asked while wrapping Isak in a blanket. Sitting on the bed swaying his legs, Isak took a glance at Even's closet before looking back at Even, "I like the one you are wearing."

Even's shirt was dark blue, matching the color of his eyes. Isak found it extremely cute.

"This one?" Even smelled his shirt, "I have worn it for two days. How about this hoodie?" Even took out a big hoodie that was also dark blue.

"Okay."

After putting on underwear and hoodie, Isak shook his head when Even handed him a pair of sweatpants." I don't want to wear pants."

"Aren't you cold?" It was snowing outside and the heater was not working very well in the dorm.

"No." Isak bounced on the bed while kicking. Even's mind dazed a moment seeing those long, straight legs. "...Okay, put on these socks." Even pulled him back when he tried to get off the bed bare foot, "And wear my slippers."

As Isak walked around the room comparing everything to his height, Even dried his clothes in the bathroom until he heard the door closing. "Fuck!" Isak left the room.
