Summary
Where Ai doesn’t call their father and successfully becomes Japan’s greatest idol-
Aqua doesn’t become an actor for revenge. Almost begrudgingly, he falls in love. Acting is harsh. Difficult to understand. Jealous. There's so much to learn: line delivery, camera lines, expression control. Strasberg? Meisner? It's hard to keep track of it all. But it's also surprisingly... fun?
OR
The Acting!AU with a focus on family, friendship, and the entertainment industry. Still in the childhood arc.

Summary
He thought he was finally starting to get the picture. He was finally starting to see underneath that damn mask, behind those irritating words and actions, the real him. But he was wrong.
So incredibly, painfully fucking wrong.
Isagi isn't only skilled at reading the field—he's always had a knack for reading people too. At least, that's what he thought until he met the most insufferable soccer genius to have ever existed: Michael Kaiser. Kaiser, who's been harassing Isagi and getting in his way since day one; Kaiser, who beyond all doubt could've been nothing more than a simple, arrogant, self-centered asshole; Kaiser, who despite all of that, he can't stop thinking about for some goddamn reason—he can't stop his feelings of hatred, entangling with both awe and curiosity, and he can't stop the chain of events that he set off spiraling out of control, all leading up to a reality darker than anything he ever encountered before: the bitter truth behind the naked emperor.
Update: Sorry for the silence everyone! Life is kinda busy rn, but I intend to come back around April/May :)
