SaschIsi

SaschIsi is the non-binary ship between Sascha Belin and Isi Inci from the Druck fandom.

Canon
Sascha and Isi are childhood best friends. The two of them are incredibly close and share a familiarity from the very start. This is shown from the very beginning when Sascha takes care of Isi's plants while they are away, which is extremely important to them. They also feel at home in Sascha's room, and know Sascha's reason for declining even when Sascha sees nothing about it. Sascha, as well, knows how to cheer Isi up, with their characteristic dance. Also, since the very start, Isi feels comfortable and happy with Sascha watching them dance.

After Isi gets asked if Sascha is their boyfriend, they jokingly mention it to Sascha, and Sascha follows along, as he says that the "wedding planner is already booked." At that moment, Isi jokes back saying "you wanna be my wife, baby?" Despite all this joking, Sascha seems hurt by Isi constantly seeming to favor their friends and the people that seem to be dating/wanting to date them over him, so he constantly teases the question of whether Isi is dating or interested in the other people or not, to which Isi replies that they're just friends to them. Meanwhile, Isi is really struggling with the bigotry and hate they get over their gender identity and how hurt they are by thinking their little brother might be ashamed of them. And when they express this to Sascha, he's fully supportive, as he intently listens to them, paints their nails and lets them be in his arms for as long as they need.

However, their friendship is strained when Sascha is hurt by Isi. At first, Isi was the one to encourage Sascha to perform as a DJ, even though he said that he doesn't like performing in front of other people, but when the night came, Isi went to some friends' party, thinking that they'd later be at Sascha's gig. But when time was approaching for Sascha's time to perform, Isi sent a text message, lying that they were late because their parents were holding them up. To make matters worse, Isi was kissed by Constantine, one of the people who Sascha thought Isi might be interested in, without Isi's consent and the kiss was uploaded on social media, where Sascha saw it. Next day, Isi went to apologize to Sascha's apartment, but he was too hurt by Isi's lie and hurt that he always feels like Isi's secondary plan.

The following days, Isi spends their time reflecting on how much they hurt Sascha and they can't come up with a proper way to apologize to him. They try writing messages, but nothing they write seems correct. And they cook for Sascha, but he doesn't answer the door. So one day, when Sascha was going out of his apartment, he finds Isi sleeping in the stairs, and he decides to finally talk to Isi. Isi tries to apologize, and to tell Sascha just how much they miss him. But Sascha is still understandably hurt.

So Isi keeps thinking about this, and "raising" Aurora, the tree they were both taking care of, alone, while their friends keep mentioning that Sascha might want to be more than friends. So when Isi goes to apologize to Sascha after weeks apart, the both of them hug tightly, and after breaking the hug apart, they stare at each other for a long time, with their lips close to one another. It's only after Sascha mentions that Isi got a text message that Isi notices it, since he kept staring at Sascha. After this moment between them, Isi just kept reflecting on their relationship with Sascha and how this newly found romantic love they feel might affect their friendship, so he confides this with a friend that is also now dating someone who used to be his best friend. Isi tells him that they almost tried to kiss Sascha the other day. And he tells Isi that they shouldn't be afraid to give it a try and that, besides, they and Sascha look cute together.

After this moment the two shared, that Isi found beautiful, they sense things a bit awkward with Sascha, so when they ask him about this, he just tells Isi that he needs some time to think about what just happened between them. Isi finds out that Sascha will be DJ'ing at the youth centre so he decides to go see him. And Sascha finds comfort in knowing Isi showed up to support him. Then, Sascha confirms that he tried to convince himself that they should remain friends, but that he really missed Isi. So as they get closer to one another, the two share a passionate kiss.

Now, as a couple, Sascha spends the holidays with Isi's family, being as comfortable and as familiar with them as he always was. During dinner, Isi's family talks about the way in which they were attacked by a neighbor that called them slurs while they were out with their little brother. All the while, Sascha is there, holding their hand under the table, providing support. Later, while Isi's parents are dancing, Isi's little brother teases them about dancing with Sascha as well, so the two of them join Isi's parents.

Later in the night, the two of them share an intimate conversation while cuddling and they passionately kiss, which leads to their first time together.
