  1. Summary

    A canon-divergent timeline of the budding relationship between Barou and Nagi (Baronagi) on and off the field while at Blue Lock.

    There are several cross-references between fics, but each fic serves as a stand-alone. It is not necessary to read in a certain order.

    Summary

    “...Reo?”

    Reo. Barou knows that name. He squints at the purple-haired man at the door. Reo, Reo, Reo… Reo Mikage?

    Barou’s eyes widen. Reo Mikage? Like, heir of the Mikage corporation, Reo Mikage?

    Oh, he cannot let Nagi fumble this. He has no idea what the Mikage heir is doing at a cafe like this, but he’ll be damned if he lets Nagi turn such a high value client away. Nagi’s not off to a great start, either—what the hell does he think he’s doing, addressing the businessman by his first name with no honorifics?

    Barou begins to sidle towards the door, hoping his urgency isn’t obvious. Reo is still gaping at Nagi, and Barou can just see the money disappearing down the drain with every second that passes.

    “Hello,” Barou says when he’s close enough with as much courtesy as he can manage. “Welcome to—”

    “Nagi,” Reo interrupts, his eyes still on Nagi, “what the fuck are you wearing?”

    Summary

    Otoya still wasn’t so sure if he wanted to be tied down to another person for the rest of his life. The thrill of the chase was always ten times more exciting than the actual relationship, and Otoya didn’t think he’d be able to hide his disappointment if his soulmate ended up being the most boring person alive.

    And then he joins Blue Lock.

    Or, Otoya thinks he knows exactly what to say to his soulmate for their first meeting.

    (He’s dead wrong.)

    Summary

    The hordes of people go silent, suddenly— it's anticipation. The TV screens all over the city start to change to something that looks… a lot like a Twitch streamer's "stream starting soon" card. Murmurs of confusion spread like waves in the crowd.

    Then, he appears— Reo's eyes are drawn to the biggest screen there is, bolted on an equally large building.

    Nagi. Doomskull now, a devious villain, but… it's literally just him. Seriously. He's not trying to hide his identity or anything, he's just in some high-tech looking room, wearing a black hoodie and looking down at his phone. Like this is a legitimate Twitch stream, but blown up and displayed on any TV you look at here. Additionally, his hair is very clearly unbrushed.

    "Sir, we're live," a blonde woman in a red pantsuit says, blurry in the background.

    "Huh?" Nagi half-heartedly glances up to the camera. "Oh yeah. Um, yeah, just give me a second with this game."

    Summary

    “What kept you up, Isagi?” Barou asks again. It’s weird, he realizes, what the nighttime can do to you. His exhaustion makes him honest, vulnerable and earnest, and he should feel guarded to be like this around Isagi. But he doesn’t hate it.

    Isagi bites down on his bottom lip, worrying it between his teeth, and Barou follows the movement with his eyes. He keeps silent, letting the boy ponder over his thoughts carefully, uncaring of how the cold air of the conditioned room and the bright light of the bathroom drive his sleep away.

    There are more important things.
