Even had a fever tonight partly because Isak fell into the fountain while making a wish, and he was dragged in while trying to pull him back. It was okay to be wet during summer time but after taking a taxi that had the world 's most powerful air conditioning, Even was coughing by the time they got home. To worsen his condition, they showered together after having sex. And around midnight, his temperature went up.

Three days ago, Isak was not in the mood to review for his midterm. In order to motivate him, Even suggested going on a date after his exams. He tried to play cool acting like not look forwards to it but ended up pulling two all-nighters in a row to study while listening to Sia's "Unstoppable".

His hard work paid off in two ways. First, he did well on most of the exams, except for history though. Also, he heard Eskild in the shower singing, "I'm unstoppable, I'm a Porsche with no brakes" while Noora bursting into the bathroom screaming " Eskild, stop it! I cannot get these lyrics out of my head and it feels like I'm cheating on Justin Biber!"

Although having a date planned ahead had been a great motivation for him, Isak felt burned out after his exams and almost fell asleep standing up as he waited outside Even's classroom. However, he refused to do the date another time when Even pulled him into a hug as his face was about to crash on the floor.

Inhaling deeply while burying himself into Even's embrace, he recalled that they didn't talk much these days because Even was really busy doing application and college tour thing. He stayed in his parents' house more often to discuss his college list and future plan. Therefore, the only time they could be together was during lunch break, which was too short and Magnus could not leave them alone. Tightening his arms around Even's waist, he thought sleepiness was not gonna ruin his date.

After having a nice dinner and watching an old movie, they went for a walk holding hands on the plaza. There were a lot of people throwing coins into a fountain while making wishes. Isak did not know what got into his head when he threw a coin. Ignoring the smile that creeps up on Even's lips, Isak moved closer to the fountain. Just as he closed eyes and was about to make a wish, someone accidentally bumped him in the back. Even took action really fast to grab his hand, but still…yeah…he fell upside down into the fountain with Even.

Now even under a light cotton sheet, Even was radiating heat like a brick right out of the oven. Isak kept running to and from kitchen with ice bags. He wrapped them in a towel putting on Even's forehead but It did not take long for the ice to melt since it was summer and Even's skin was burning.

When he stood up from the side of bed to get more, Even's hot fingers curled into his hand, " Don't go." Even tilted his head upward struggling to get his face out of the sheet since Isak pulled it so high that only his forehead and messy hair were outside. Helping him pull down the sheet under his chin, Isak stroked his dry lips, "I need to change your towel, Evi. I 'll be back real quick." He did not realize how soft his voice became.

"No." The fingers held tighter. Those eyes that were bluer than glacier water and still moist from the previous shower blinked slowly at him. Oh, god, so cute, so cute! He could easily withdraw his hand since Even didn't have much strength, but—" Eskild! Could you bring me more ice bags?" He yelled while covering Even 's ears.

After doing the ice bags for another hour, Isak found his temperature wouldn't go down.

"Baby, My head hurt." Even's cheeks burned with flush of fever.

Massaging his temples and forehead using the spare hand, Isak sounded like a manager in a nearly broken spa house while asking, " Better?"

Even nodded resting his face on their holding hands.

"Evi, I need to take you to hospital."

Shaking his head slowly, Even hid his face in the pillow.

"Are you sure?" Isak signed.

The soft hair swayed up and down. Okay, he was nodding.

"You are burning, Evi, we really need to go." Even pulled the sheet over his head, but Isak could still tell he shook his head firmly by the movement of the sheet.

"Lie down with me." Even's lips pouted while extending his arms to Isak not in his usual way like 'baby, come here' but in a 'mommy, hug me' kind of way. Shit, he was killing me, Isak thought to himself while climbing on the bed without any hesitation. Even's arms quickly wrapped around his waist, their legs tangled together and his lips were pressed against Isak's ear lobe making him shudder with each warm breath. This was such a sweet torture.

Lying like a statue, Isak felt he was a saint while Even unconsciously "molested" him for about half an hour until finally falling asleep. Slowly caressing his forehead, he felt relief flood through him while finding the temperature dropped a little.

Waking up in the morning, half of his body was on top of Even. His left leg was across Even's abdomen and his arm was on his chest. Isak carefully withdrew his arm, and when he tried to do the same with his leg, a hand placed on the back of his thigh pulling him closer. He looked up seeing Even smiling. Lying on their side face to face, he placed his forehead against Even's and found the temperature nearly returned to normal.

" How you feel?" " Good." Even answered while giving Isak a morning kiss. Isak deepened it and gradually held himself on top as the kiss became hungrier until Even finally pulled away when isak's hands snaked under his shirt, " What?"

Even licked his sharp tooth which he always did when there was something hard to say, " Baby, you don't want to do it right now, do you? I don't think I have enough strength."

Isak was dazed for a second since he was too worried to notice how enticing Even became during the fever. But as he recalled those moist eyes and flushed cheeks from last night, he smiled pulling up Even 's shirt to kiss his chest. Bringing up the vivid memories of the times that Even had tricked him about 'Sonja's aluminum leg' and 'his aunt's pool house', he felt ready to pull a small prank to lighten his mood a little after those overwhelming worries and stressful midterms.

He had a smirk on his face while placing himself into Even's legs. Even's eyes widened when he wrapped his left leg around his waist.

" Uh baby I want to but…."

"I can be on top if you can't." Isak cut him off smiling. Even blinked several times like he didn't believe what he just heard.

"And," Isak trying to not laugh, "I heard it actually felt better when the bottom's body temperature is high."

"Oh, baby. You are joking." Even chuckled rolling over, "Good job, you really got me this time." The morning light from the window was perfectly hitting Even's face that Isak can see the faint grey stripes in his irises.

Pressing their nose tips together, Even said, "You know I would eventually do what you say, right?"

"I know."
