Francis fanon aside, most people can agree that despite his tired eyes, generally disinterested mood, and dry manner of speaking, he's got some quality about him that radiates pure magnetism. Granted, he doesn't know that himself- he just thinks he looks like any other guy- but he's got that "it" factor that attracts anyone.

This includes the big buff news reporter that just so happens to live one floor underneath him.

Izaack himself is all about his looks- he's spent forever working towards his current physical form and takes a considerable amount of time in the bathroom in order to make sure he's as handsome as he can be before leaving his apartment. There's no tooth that goes unbrushed, no hair that goes uncombed, and yes, that is gloss on his lips, thank you for noticing.

...so how come the guy that lives directly above him, the guy that rolls out of bed every morning looking like the world's most sleep deprived rat, looks at him once, goes "Mmmm hello", and makes his heart nearly burst out of his chest.

For Izaack, it was basically love at first sight, and up until they got together, he'd go more than out of his way to make sure he and Francis somehow bumped into each other despite living on two completely different floors. His love language is essentially physical touch and yapping about how excellent of a partner he'd be all the while trying to not expose how nervous he actually is.

Yes, other neighbors have caught this. Yes, they know exactly what he is.

Francis knows too, so imagine Izaack's shock and delight upon hearing Francis ask him out first. He froze immediately and as soon as he finally realized what was going on, he proudly proclaimed that of course Francis would want to ask him out- "You must've been swayed by my charming good looks!"
