eva had a bad day. she got back her math test that had gone as absolutely shitty as she thought it would be and her teacher wasn't the nicest about it. she spilled her coffee all over herself and well, it wasn't the greatest day she'd had. when she came back home, she went immediately for her bedroom and just lied down, taking a deep breath. it didn't take long for someone to knock on her door and when she only sighed a yes, her door was opened and there was noora, smiling at her widely until she looked at eva closer and her face fell, instantly noticing that something was wrong, and joined her on the bed, putting an arm around her and holding her tightly. she asked what was wrong and eva told her about her day, noora listening intently and nodding. after eva was done, she suggested taking a relaxing bath together to which eva agreed. they got into the bathtub together, eva leaning back against noora as noora gave her a massage and then shampooed her hair and it was so damn relaxing that eva just sighed happily and enjoyed the soft ministrations and when they were done, noora wrapped her into a fluffy towel and a bathrobe and then herself and they crashed like that on eva's bed and noora put on eva's favorite show on netflix and tore herself away from eva to make her a hot chocolate because that was her fave and eva looked so grateful when she came back with the hot mug and they ended up cuddling on eva's bed watching a show on netflix and by the end of the day eva had already forgotten about her shitty day and was instead focusing on her girlfriend who made her day so so much better 💜

let's talk about noora and eva's first meeting, shall we? you bet your ass that noora has seen eva around before (even before they had spanish together) but never knew how to talk to her which is unusual for her because she's usually so confident?? but when it comes to this girl, she turns into a puddle and doesn't know what to say, so she always keeps quiet. but noora might have heard that eva is considering going to that party and thats literally the only reason why she showed up there lbr. she wanted to see eva and it's been hours since this party started and she still hasn't spotted her and she's almost given up when she suddenly appears next to her at the bar but she's turned away from noora and nooras hands are already sweating because the girl of her dreams is so close to her and what the fuck is she supposed to do now?? noora eavesdrops on that conversation eva has with another very pretty girl and noora is worried for a second but then she hears the girl call eva a slut and it takes everything in her not to go up to this girl and give her hell. so instead she waits for the girl to disappear again and waits for the opportunity to introduce herself to eva. (ofc she has known her name before that.) when she shakes her hand, she doesn't ever wanna let go again because eva's hand is so?? soft?? and it fits _perfectly_ in hers, so yeah, noora immediately mourns the loss of contact. she senses that eva is upset and noora is nervous as hell, so she blurts out the first thing that comes to her mind which is a false fact about girls being more likely to get chlamydia when they call others a slut. she pulls a straight face, trying not to show that she was internally screaming at herself because what the fuck was that? she couldn't have come up with anything better, could she? while she's internally slapping herself, she watches as the girl opposite of her furrow her brows, obviously confused, and asks if she's serious and if that isn't the cutest thing on earth, then noora doesn't know what is. she has to hide a small smile when she answers that no, girls aren't more likely to get chlamydia when they called another girl a slut but it would be cool. and eva nods in agreement, a small smile of her own becoming apparent on her lips. seeing eva smile is now her favorite thing in the world and it makes her heart skip a beat, no, actually its stuck in her throat, air is suddenly not a thing anymore that noora knows a lot about, and she just stares at eva for a few seconds, trying to muster a smile to make up for the lack of her not talking. eva is literally breathtaking and noora's already made it her personal mission to always keep a smile on that pretty face. she's already so gone for eva and dear lord, her fingers are itching to reach out and pull her into a hug. noora wants to tell her so many things like she's beautiful and her make up is on point (please don't lose the eyeliner, it looks great on you), that she shouldn't listen to that other girl, that her smile can light up an entire room. but like always, she keeps quiet. she gives eva one last smile, a little wave of her hand and then turns around and leaves. she really doesn't want to leave her, would have loved to talk more to her, get to know this beautiful girl, but if she had done it, embarrassing things that she would regret later would have slipped out of her mouth and she couldn't risk that if she wants to build a friendship with this girl. so afterwards, she goes home because she doesn't have any reason to stay any longer and when she is in bed, buried in her blankets, feeling all warm and cozy, she thinks that yeah, maybe the first time talking to eva hasn't been that bad.

did you know that yesterday eva and noora went to their first pride together? and eva hadn't gotten around to buying a bi pride flag, so as a surprise noora bought one for her and a gay flag for herself? and eva dressed in bi colors while noora painted rainbow stripes on her face? and to top that, eva also wore bi stripes on her face for good measure? and they took lots of pictures at pride, one where they're just smiling into the camera, another one where they're making out, another one where you see their backs, holding up their pride flags while trying to hold hands. and you know they would post them all over instagram and noora would write in the caption how lucky she is to have the best girlfriend in the world. their friends would be there with them, supporting them, just being happy with and for them and celebrating pride as well. and after the parade is over, noora convinces eva not to go to an after party because she would rather go home and cuddle a bit to calm down from the amazing day they had and ofc eva gives in because how could she ever deny her girlfriend anything? especially when she sounds so soft and when cuddling is involved? so they go home, put on something on netflix while they're cuddled up on the couch and eventually fall asleep in each other's arms. it was the best day either of them ever had :')

ok but we all know that if noora and eva had grown up together, they would have taken pictures of their long hair falling over their backs like the pictures that were cool like 10 years ago and then the caption would have been "every brownie needs a blondie by her side" fight me

when noora and eva graduated, it wasn't even a question that they would go to uio and move in together. the rest of the girls had other plans and vilde was set on moving in with magnus which left the two girls. and they were so excited on the day they moved in!! took pictures, had a movie night while drinking wine. it didn't take long for them to get used to each other since they've basically lived in each other's houses/rooms before. but this time there wasn't eva's mum or eskild or linn around. it was only the two of them. and it was fantastic. their friendship only seemed to grow stronger and they were inseparable. noora knew about eva's bisexuality. she was the first one eva felt comfortable telling a few months into their friendship. so it wasnt that surprising to noora that she also brought home girls. the thing that did surprise her was that they all looked similar. tall, blonde, cute, usually short hair although sometimes she went for girls with longer hair. noora also knew about eva's type. which was that she didn't have one. anyone that was attractive to her was a potential hook up. eva didnt go for anything specific. she didn't. but it wasn't noora's place to ask nor any of her business. if eva had a type now, good for her. it wasn't until this one party where it crossed noora's mind again. eva was (yet again) making out with a cute blonde girl and noora was watching them, brows furrowed. they had never talked about eva's new obsession and right now noora couldn't help but wonder where it had come from. but then again, why did she care? as long as eva was happy. she turned away from the two and went into the kitchen to get a glass of water when suddenly someone bearhugged her from behind and she turned around to find eva smiling broadly at her. noora returned the smile and said, "hey, you" and eva's smile got even bigger when she replied, "hey." and noora couldn't help but ask where the girl had gone to and eva shrugged like she didn't care at all and maybe she didn't and honestly, that shouldn't cause relief to flow through noora's body. they were still hugging when eva sighed into her ear and whispered, "I love you so much" and Noora was laughing and replying that she loved eva too and eva intently shook her head and disentangled herself from noora to look at her pointedly and repeated excitedly, "no, you don't even know. I love you _so_ much" and noora nodded because she knew. eva had told her often enough, it wasn't anything new. eva always told everyone how much she loved them when she was drunk. eva went back into noora's arms, warmth enveloping her as she cuddled up against noora's body and got comfortable. "I really love you," eva repeated again, "why do you think I keep bringing home these girls that look exactly like you? when will you finally realise this, so I can stop doing this because I'm tired of being with these girls. I wanna be with you." and this confession hit noora hard. because suddenly everything made sense. these girls had always kinda looked like her and the thought had crossed her mind but she never wanted to believe it because if she did, she would get her hopes up and eva didn't want her like that, right? but apparently, she did, confessing her feelings and that she only did it to make noora realise that eva liked her. maybe not the best tactic since it clearly didn't work until eva had pointed it out but that didn't matter now. because the girl she had loved for so long actually liked her back and maybe it was only a drunk confession eva will forget about in the morning and that she actually didn't even mean and it was only something that slipped from her mouth but for now she would enjoy this for as long as she could. the girl of her dreams snuggling up in her arms, making her feel warm all over in an already too hot kitchen but she didn't mind at all. she could stay like this forever and maybe eva could, too. maybe, just maybe. they eventually left the party and fell asleep together in noora's bed. the next morning, eva remembered. she hadn't forgotten it.
