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.
Canon divergence playing after Ubers. They gotta drag each other through their issues first before they can work them out one by one.

Summary
In a truly tragic turn of events that leaves him wondering if he’s somehow angered the Goddess of Luck, Isagi Yoichi becomes the unwilling owner of one Michael Kaiser plushie. Better uses of the stuffed doll include tennis ball replacement, chew toy, or fireplace fuel, which is exactly why Isagi finds himself... with a new embarrassing hobby?
At the same time, the real Kaiser can't help but notice the way Yoichi barely reacts to his teasing anymore, too busy smiling at something on his damn phone. He can't seem to figure out why Yoichi hasn't been acting himself lately—or why it's pissing him off so much.
