Amid the heavy snow in Germany, a young man walked through the bustling streets.
“It’s been a long time..” the man mutters.
Suddenly someone came rushing towards him. “Oii! Wait for me!!”
He had blueberry hair and adorable blue eyes which could rival the ocean’s beauty.
“Mihya!! Couldn’t you wait for me, hold on what’s that?”
“It’s a surprise Yoichi~” the man chuckled
“Wow, Micheal and surprise? Hope it’s not just some random book” laughs Yoichi
“I am serious whatever it’s a cake that you were gazing at” he gestures to the bag.
“ No wa- No I wasn't gazing at that at all!!” the blueberry pouts
“Sure whatever to help you sleep at night let’s go now I can’t wait to try it” he wraps his arms around Yoichi
Yoichi smilies “Me too let’s go home”
Michael Kaiser, a well-known multi-instrumentalist, has fallen into the pits of love with Isagi Yoichi, A Guitarist and Vocalist of the successful project BLUE LOCK. They met through a program, had a bad start but ended up falling madly in love with each other. They lived together but they had to live separately for their schedules. Isagi in Japan and Kaiser in Germany. Yet they always had time to live at each other’s place.
One such instance was when Isagi Yoichi had to go back to Japan for a concert.
Micheal wasn’t ready to let him go but Yoichi promised that he would treat him if he let him go. So now Micheal has to wait back in Germany for his beloved to return.
Ding
An email was there for Michael Kaiser.
“About time” Kaiser smilies at the email.
Back In Japan, Isagi was busy with his schedule for the concert and now retired in his bed when he heard someone knock at his door.
“Come in it’s open”
Then came his boyfriend, “You should be careful with letting random people in, in your hotel”
Isagi’s eyes were wide with shock “MIHYA!? How are you here?!”
“Not even a welcome home, how rude Yoichi” Kaiser sighs
“No no no I am glad that you're here, it’s just-” Kaiser cups his cheeks in his hands and says “Well I am here as a guest for your concert, now happy?”
Yoichi leans into his warmth “Not because you missed me hm?”
“And that too” he pulls him into a hug
“I missed you too Mihya”
“I know”
Kaiser could play any instrument since he learned them all because he didn’t have anything else interesting him after he escaped the dreadful slums and his good-for-nothing father. He liked the drums the most as it would help him release stress by beating into it. The German then became an instant sensation in the music industry with his melody. They were filled with anger, loneliness and yearning for someone. Even though he had that someone the fear always hooked him down in the sea of doubts. No matter how much happiness he gets from what he has achieved he always doubts it was a dream and he will soon wake up in that filthy house.
He went to practice in one of the rooms at Blue Lock to release his brain from such thoughts. There he saw Yoichi talking animatedly with his fellow blue lockers about something. He smiles and joins them.
“So what are you all doing here huh?” he asks as he rests his chin on the blueberry’s sprout.
“Ugh get off! You are ruining my hair!” shouts the shorter one
“Hehh you are worried about the ugly sprout in your hair?” he snickers
“Well duh, not everyone is like you” “Excuse me?”
Then they got into yet another argument. Michael enjoys it a lot as it is always amusing.
The blue lockers just rolled their eyes as if it was just the usual of them
Hiori, the bassist interrupts “You love birds can argue later but now we have to select a song”
“WHAT” they yelled in unison. Yes, they were lovers but they were never open about it.
“No need to act surprised we know” Hiori giggles.
“From a long time, time” Kurona the second guitarist adds in.
“ I didn’t know that you bragged about us in front of your friends”
“I DID NOT”
“Wow everyone’s as excited as ever” All of them turned their heads towards the voice. It was the bumble bee of the blue lock, Bachira “Well hello all of you” he grinned
“You are gonna join us?” Hiori asked
“Yeah since Kunigami is on break, I decided to fill in! It’s been a while since we played together”
He then rushes towards Isagi and jumps on him “You know I missed you a lot ~!” Isagi balances himself and laughs “Yes yes I missed you too” “So what were you all talking about?”
“Oh about how Kaiser and Isagi are in love with each other, other” Kurona grins
“Hold up!-” “Isagi you got a BOYFRIEND? ON TOP OF THAT IT’S THIS GERMAN RAT??” Bachira almost lets out a screech. “Woah I am not A GERMAN RAT YOU BEE” Kaiser cursed him he already didn’t like how Bachira was clinging to Isagi and on top of that calling him a German rat?!
“No you got it wrong Bachira” Isagi then slowly pushed Bachira “They were just teasing and no he isn’t my boyfriend” Kaiser so wanted to cut in and say that he was so right but he was a professional so he didn’t let his emotions get in the way. “Whatever, we should get on with the song selection now”
Kaiser had a solo performance along with that one with Isagi’s current band. Well, Kaiser and Isagi were in demand by the audience ever since they performed back saying they had an unmatchable chemistry so Blue Lock decided to conduct a concert to fulfil their fan's wishes.
They decided on roles for the collab concert with Isagi as the Main Vocalist, Kaiser as the main Guitarist, Kurona as the Main Bassist, Hiori as the second Guitarist and Bachira as the Drummer.
Isagi and Kaiser returned from their practice. They decided to meet up with Isagi’s Parents. They knew about their relationship as Isagi didn’t want to hide it from them. Kaiser went to buy some flowers and desserts as he didn’t want to seem as someone rude in front of his parents even though Isagi said it didn’t matter but he insisted on it. They were now in front of Isagi’s Childhood house.
Isagi’s mother was happy to see them both together. “Now now come in kids!! Gosh, Yocchan! Kaiser is so much more handsome than in the picture!” Kaiser was caught off guard as it was his first time but he adjusted it. “Drop the Kaiser, Just call me Michael” She smiled and nodded “Okay Michael You can call me Mum just like Yocchan” Kaiser didn’t know how to respond to that as he never received any motherly love he looked at Yoichi expecting some help but he was just standing there and hiding a grin. “Ah! Did I come as too strong? I am sorry Michael I was just excited to see Yocchan’s partner” Iyo added in quickly. Even tho he didn’t know how to respond but he did know that he shouldn't make this kind woman sad “No no it’s alright Mum” he smiled. “Mum, let’s get in now! I can’t wait to share those desserts with you!!” Yoichi finally decided to step in. He looked at Kaiser gesturing to give the presents he brought. “Yeah, we brought this for you, here” He hands the flowers to Isagi’s mum. She was beaming with happiness now. “My My, Michael you didn’t have to do this. Thank you they are so beautiful” It was a small thank you but Kaiser felt it like he won the world He was equally happy as her to see her reaction. Isagi was glad to see the interaction unfold between his favourite people in the whole world.
They further talked about all sorts of stuff. From Yoichi’s quirky habits to his childhood photos which Yoichi strongly disapproved of sharing. But little did he know they saw it when he was away buying groceries.
“This was when Yocchan was six and discovered the guitar. We didn't know about it but we all were more delighted to watch him have fun” Iyo said while looking at the young Yoichi trying to figure out how to play the Guitar. Kaiser felt a pang of sadness he knew it was Isagi’s family but he couldn’t help but imagine if he had someone who could be as loving as Isagi Iyo. “Yoichi was sure lucky to have you all” He smiled with her. “You know when Yocchan told me you didn’t have any parents. I just thought of how lonely it would be for you that I abruptly decided to ask you to call me mum” She spoke as if she knew about what he was thinking. He remained silent as she continued “Even though I know It might not be helpful but I am always here as your mother as well as Yocchans so don’t be afraid” She pulled him into a hug. He felt weak in her arms. He hugged her back tightly “It’s more than enough Mum” She patted his back smiling like a knowing mother.
They continued to look through Yoichi’s album until he arrived. “MUM I TOLD YOU NOT TO SHOW IT TO MHIYA!!” he was fuming with embarrassment. “Yocchan was so adorable. I couldn’t help but force mum to show it to me~” Michael teased him while Iyo was having the time of her life while watching them bickering.
Later Isagi’s father was back from his work and they all decided to have dinner and call it a day. Isagi’s father was as loving as his wife and exchanged talks with both of the boys cheerfully.
Michael was in Yoichi’s room waiting for him as he helped his parents. He decided to plug in his earphones and listen to Desperado by the Eagles. He admired the night sky while humming the tune.
Yoichi entered his room. He Saw Michael standing near the window gazing at the night sky. His beautiful blonde hair was glowing under the moonlight his serene expression everything about him was beautiful, the wind added a dramatic effect by blowing his hair creating a gorgeous view for Yoichi only.
“Are you just going to stand there and admire me?” Michael looked back at him.
“Here I thought I would finally have a night without you being cheeky” he grinned. “No can do Yocchan” he chuckles.
“What are you listening to?”
“Desepardo”
“by who?”
“the Eagles”
Yoichi pulls out one earphone, and Michael looks at him “What? I want to hear it too.” “sure help yourself”
~Don't your feet get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day
You're losin' all your highs and lows~
As the melody went on Yoichi started to hum along with lyrics. Leaning at Michael’s shoulders.
~Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above you~
Michael also hums along with Yoichi while leaning on his warmth wrapping his hands around his waist and pulling him close while they admire the night sky together.
~You better let somebody love you
(Let somebody love you)
You better let somebody love you before it's too late~
Michael can gladly say that he is letting someone no Yoichi and others love him while equally loving him and them
The day of the concert arrived. The crowd was bustling with energy. Everyone was excited to see them sharing the same stage again. It first started with Michael Kaiser’s Solo performance and then followed with Yoichi and his friends joining him. The crowd was shrieking whenever they exchanged glances and sang while they looked into each other’s eyes. Yoichi approached Kaiser pulling his guitar and announcing “ now the last song is for someone special to me” Kaiser had a puzzled look on his face but he gave his guitar to Yoichi. “Here I go” The band started to play a tune he wasn’t familiar with. Then Yoichi sang with a heavenly voice.
~Not everyone can be like me and Michael
The only problem is forgetting which side you're on
So you think, the burning light will reappear on summer nights
Like all the rest, but they can't find out~
He immediately knew who the special person was. He couldn’t believe his ears that Yoichi was making such a move and that in public. His brain was short-circuiting.
~Me and Michael
Solid as they come
Me and Michael
It's not a question now
Me and Michael~
Before he knew he was approaching Bachira “Move before I rip your head out” He wanted to play the drums for his beloved. He wanted to be the one to support his liebling with the instrument he loved. Bachira grinned knowing what was about to come. “Sure sure”
Once Michael hit the drums the Crowd roared with Yoichi turned his head to see who was playing it. He was so over the moon when he saw his Mihya playing. He couldn’t let it get into his head so he started to compliment his godly beats with his guitar.
~Binary stars sink, like the setting sun
Too happy with ourselves to notice when the change had come
So you think, the losing side would never break dividing lines
But sanctity wasn't in doubt~
Yoichi continued singing like he had never sung before. Playing like he never played before. Michael was giving him exactly what he wanted.
~Me and Michael
solid as they come
Me and Michael
it's not a question now
It's me and Michael~
Both of them were looking at each other when the song ended. Before Yoichi could think of anything, Michael pulled him into a deep kiss. Everyone was silent and then they all were screaming and screeching. Even their bandmates were shocked by the turn of events. Hiori started to snap photos cause priorities. Kurano and Bachira were jumping in circles while holding hands.
Yoichi when released from the kiss looked at him “what-Mihya-” “shh meine schatz it wouldn’t be you and Michael this way” With that he pecked on his lips again.
Then he turned towards the crowd, smirked and waved.
He took Yoichi and left the stage. The crowd went feral with that. The rest of the band nodded at each other and said the ending speech.
The concert was over.
They were trending in every social media.
Yoichi looked at Michael “What now?”
“Nothing,I am just announcing what’s mine”
Yoichi sighed and smiled “You are an Idiot Mihya”
“For you~”
“Yes for me” Yoichi cupped his hands on Michael’s face and pulled him into a kiss. Michael slid his hands to grab his waist. Kissing him back with the same intensity.
Yoichi smiles ”yes me and Michael”
“Yes you and Michael”
It was just them in their world now.loving each other and being ready to face whatever is coming for them.
