“I swear, there is no way his hair just looks like that.” Isagi insists. “He has to be styling it everyday to look like that.” He added, his hands making some sort of gesture on his hair.
“So you’re suggesting he styles it that way?” Hiori asks, raising an eyebrow at Isagi, finding his words a bit funny.
“I thought it was obvious.” Isagi retorts, narrowing his eyes at Hiori. “You already know how Kaiser is, he probably cares about what he looks like every morning.”
The two had gone from planning what they could do on their free day to discussing whether or not each of their teammates styled their hair or not. When it came to Kaiser, Hiori and Isagi had different ideas on what he does with his hair, Hiori says it’s just bed head or it just naturally fell like that, Isagi on the other hand thought he styled it everyday in the morning when he woke up. Here, we can tell which of the two had atrocious bed head or had normal hair in the morning.
“He probably has a whole step-by-step routine in taking care of his hair. Right, Kurona?” Isagi turns to face Kuron who seemed to be observing and watching the two debate on and on on this subject. He just shrugged, though he did side with Isagi on this little debate.
“It looks too natural to be styled.” Hiori argued back. As if on queue, two more familiar faces entered the common room, Yukimiya trying to start a small chat with Kunigami who seemed to not be interested in whatever he was saying.
“What if we ask them, them.” Kurona spoke up after staring down at the ground for a good minute, he pointed towards the two which caught Yukimiya’s attention as he went to approach the three.
“Yukimiya-san!” Isagi turned to look up at Yukimiya who had his usual smile on his face. “Good morning, what are you three doing?” Yukimiya questioned.
“Weird question, do you think Kaiser styles his hair or not?” Yukimiya gave Isagi a small confused look. “Me and Hiori cant agree on if he styles it or not”
“I think it’s natural, I don’t think he styles it.” Hiori let out a small hum as he agreed with Yukimiya. “See Isagi, Im not the only one who thinks that way.” Hiori teased as Yukimia just let out a small amused laugh.
“But it looks styled! There’s no way that’s his so called bed head.” Isagi retorted back, looking up at Yukimiya then at Hiori with slight disbelief. Kunigami, who was just trying to get a glass of water overheard their little conversation and just loomed around the corner, a bit intrigued.
Isagi notice the redhead standing close by and quickly turned to him to hear his input. “Kunigami!” The moment Kunigami heard his name being called he quickly shot a small “No” before making his way back to refill his glass. “Dude, come on.”
“How about we just make a bet? Whoever gets it right has to do the other’s chores.” Yukimiya added, Isagi and Hiori looked up at him then at each other for a moment as they thought about it. “That could work, work.” Kurona added, nodding softly.
“But how would we know? I do not want to ask him.” Isagi definitely didn't want to talk to Kaiser this early in the morning, it would probably ruin his day or something.
Hiori shrugs lightly. “He probably wouldn’t mind, right? Either way, he’s probably gonna come here any minute now, we can tell if he styles it or not.”
“And if he does—which he will—I win!” Isagi declares, a confident look on his face.
“Nuh uh!” While the two continued on, Yukimiya had left for a moment and grabbed a small piece of paper and a pen, placing it on the small table in front of where the three sat. He quickly wrote something down and gave the pen to Isagi
Option 1 - Michael Kaiser sports a natural bedhead
Option 2 - Michael Kaiser styles his hair
By putting their name under one of the options, the participants agree that whoever loses will do the winners’ chores.
The three read what was written on the paper, quickly understanding the rules. Isagi then writes his name under the Option 2 bracket then hands the paper to Kurono who puts his name under Isagi’s.
Hiori gets the paper next and quickly writes his name under the Option 1 bracket which Yukimiya follows suit and writes his name under Hiori’s.
Isagi quickly notices Kunigami standing right behind the couch they sat on as he stared down at the paper on the table. “Come on Kunigami.” Isagi dangles the pen between his fingers as he moved it towards the redhead. “Just this once.”
Kunigami stared down at Isagi, a blank expression as always. Isagi was expecting him to just walk off but instead Kunigami grabbed the pen and reached over to grab the paper. “Can I add another category?” He spoke up.
Isagi wasn’t expecting him to actually join in but he didn’t mind. “Yeah sure go on.”
And so, Kunigami starts writing, once he finished he tossed the pen and paper onto Isagi’s lap.
Option 3 - Michael Kaiser isn’t responsible for his bed head
“Huh? Kunigami-kun are you sure?” Yukimiya questioned, only getting a small grunt from the redhead which most probably translated as a yes.
“Now how would that work?” Hiori added “I think little birds do his hair, hair.” Kurona made a small gesture with his hands, imitating how said birds would style his hair.
“Enlighten us, Kunigami-kun, what does this mean?” Yukimiya asks and before Kunigami could respond, a familiar mop of brown and magenta hair walks in the common room. Ness lets out a small good morning before walking towards the coffee maker.
He makes his way towards where the five were, a bit intrigued why they were there, Ness noticed the piece of paper on the table, looking down at it. “What’s that?”
“A bet about Kaiser’s hair, wanna join?” Yukimiya responds, reaching over to grab the piece of paper then handing it to Ness, letting him read the options. “Wait, he probably already knows the answer!” Isagi speaks up.
“Contrary to popular belief, I don’t make it a full habit of knowing what Michael does with his hair, Yoichi.” Ness retorts back, a small intimidating smile painted on his face which makes Isagi look away.
Ness moves to place the paper on the table, leaning forward to write his name. His hands were covering the paper so the others couldn’t tell where he was writing his name under.
“Which one did you pick?” Hiori looms over to try and get a look on the paper which Ness covers with his hand.
Right before Ness was about to answer, footsteps entering the common room caught everyone’s attention.
There was Kaiser, walking in to grab a cup of coffee, and his hair was absolutely atrocious, hair going everywhere and it looked so messy that it looked completely different from what his usual hair would look like. Isagi and Kurona high-fived, seeming as they already won the bet as Hiori looked defeated and Yukimiya just lets out a small laugh.
Ness huffs and places his mug on the table before making his way towards where Kaiser stood. “Ness, I was looking for you.” Kaiser managed to spit out as he was still trying to fully wake up.
With a smile on Ness’s face, he moves his face closer to Kaiser’s, and then… Ness is kissing him, full force, right smack on the blonde’s lips, no hesitation. Kaiser seemed to be surprised before melting into the kiss, placing a hand on Ness’s neck where Ness’s hands shot up and were now in Kaiser’s mess of hair.
They were kissing, right in front of them. And it definitely didn’t look like it was their first kiss.
Yukimiya had a hand over his mouth, shocked. Kunigami choked on the water he was drinking. Hiori stared at them with eyes widened. Kurona didn’t know whether to keep staring or look away so his eyes just switched back and forth between looking at the two and staring at a wall. Isagi was perplexed, wanting to tear his eyes off of them but he fails to do so.
Finally, after what it seemed to be an eternity, Ness pulls away. “Good morning, Michael.” He smiled up at the blonde, Kaiser hummed back, licking his lips. “Coffee?” Ness nods and runs his hands through Kaiser’s hair which now looks more like his usual hairstyle.
Oh.
“I already made some for you, it’s over there on the island.” Ness responds, acting as if nothing happened.
Then, Isagi voices out what they were all thinking. “What. The. Fuck.”
“…I think Kunigami-kun and Ness just won the bet?” Yukimiya spoke up, still a bit surprised.
“Exactly, enjoy cleaning the changing rooms!” Ness smiles as Kaiser pulled away from his touch and makes his way towards the kitchen island.
“…I was just joking about the category I made.” Kunigami spoke up, wiping water off of his chin. “Didn’t expect to actually win.”
