Chapter Text
“Michael Kaiser is dating another supermodel” said a news report as they show the German player wearing a red suit, getting out of a restaurant with a beautiful, brunette woman in a stunning blue dress “Her name is Jessie Jams and she will be joining the Victoria’s Secret angels”
“Aww... My Kaisagi besties will be heartbroken” said Hiori, pouting at the Bastard’s gym. Yoichi rolled his eyes looking up at the TV “Don’t be jealous, Isaigi-kun, that won’t last” said him with a smirk.
“Stop it Hiori... you sick pervert” said the dark blue haired annoyed. But in reality he was indeed jealous, he found out his attraction towards him during the last year Ballon d’or ceremony, they were both selected to be part of the Top 3 players after winning The Champions, the Bundesliga, the DFB-Pokal and DFL Super Cup.
But telling this to Hiori or even Raichi or Yuki, would mean years of teasing nonstop and the worst thing was that she was his friend too and she met him thanks to him.
Jessie is a friend
Yeah, I know, he's been a good friend of mine
But lately something's changed that ain't hard to define
Jessie's got himself a girl and I want to make her mine
They were at a party when Kaiser arrived with her, and she ran towards Yoichi and hugged him “Ichiiii” said the German model with a huge smile “It’s been a while since I see you”
“I had been busy and you too” said the boy with a smile “but you are right, I missed you too” then he looked at Kaiser, he was chatting with Ness and suddenly he turned to him and smirked to let him know he noticed him looking at them “and you could have told me you were dating THE Michael Kaiser”
She blushed and looked at him then back at Yoichi “He asked me to not tell anyone yet, you know he likes the drama”
“Of course he does” he rolled his eyes but smiled at her “I’m happy for you”
Then Kaiser appeared behind her wrapping an arm around her waist “Hallo Yoichi” he said with his typical smirk “I will steal her from you know, I want to show her off” he winked and left.
All this was witnessed by Hiori, Yuki and Raichi who were very entertained. Isagi felt their eyes and looked at them “Having fun?” they turned faking disinterest.
And she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
Yeah, and he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Yoichi spent all night watching their interactions from the corner of his eyes. She was truly fascinated by him, and it was normal, he was good looking, he wasn’t a jerk anymore so he was a little bit nicer and with her he seemed like the proper gentleman.
Another thing he couldn't help but come to his mind, while they were dancing and laughing at the center of the dance floor, was that after this ended they would be dancing horizontally in his apartment. He had to shake the thought away or he would go crazy.
He just wishes to have Michael Kaiser.
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
You could say “but Kaiser is arrogant, full of himself and could be mean sometimes and even say too many bad words” Isagi didn’t care, after years of getting to know Kaiser, he discovered his difficult past and how he’s dealing with it and he even created a foundation for those kids who were abused by their families.
He didn’t ask Kaiser this, he just opened up after he found him choking himself after missing the last penalty and losing that match. Kaiser asked him to never tell anyone this, and he didn’t.
Michael Kaiser was one person on the field and in his interviews and someone else around his close friends and after years of fighting they became friends and trust the other on and off the field. Ness got closer to Isagi after the NEL because he saw the magic of his football and wanted to play more with him.
I'll play along with the charade
There doesn't seem to be a reason to change
You know, I feel so dirty when they start talking cute
I wanna tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot
The months passed and Isagi kept the act around her and Michael, they acted all cute, having pet names and all which was strange coming for Michael but, maybe this was his true self when he was in love?
More than once he wanted to tell him his true feelings but he couldn’t find the courage to do so. Yes, he was a coward. He knew that subject was out of debate for him, probably he read Kaiser the wrong way, maybe he enjoyed flirting and annoyed him just for fun instead of being actual into men.
'Cause she's watching him with those eyes
And she's loving him with that body, I just know it
And he's holding her in his arms late, late at night
You know, I wish that I had
Yoichi decided to move on, and had a weird double date with them, he noticed Kaiser normal behavior was gone the moment he walked in with this guy, Thomas Braun. He seemed uncomfortable and Yoichi needed to cover his lips so he didn’t notice his smirk.
Isagi decided to be a little bit shameless about some flirting with this random guy, Kaiser, to hide his annoyance, did the same with his girlfriend but it was obvious to Isagi that he was annoyed.
“I didn’t expect you to actually bring someone tonight, Yoichi,” said Kaiser as they were waiting for their cars and Jessie and Thomas were chatting.
“Jealous?”
“Nah... I was just curious how you did it” said Kaiser, faking disinterest.
“I met him via a dating app, he plays semi professional tennis” mentioned Yoichi “he’s really nice”
He noticed Kaiser clenching his fists and his jaw, Yoichi now didn’t understand that reaction since Kaiser had been sending mixed signals ever since they got closer.
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
After that double date, Jessie proposed another one and, of course, Yoichi accepted. It was fun to annoy Kaiser. Since it was the summer, they went to Kaiser’s private pool and it was a day to relax and have fun but the emperor was in a terrible mood, only a few cups of champagne and seafood helped him.
That day Yoichi was closer to Jessie talking, they were having fun while Thomas was reading a book, sitting close to the pool.
This made Kaiser notice new aspects of Yoichi, he wasn’t annoying Thomas like his former girlfriends did, Michael had been hiding his feelings towards Isagi because of his superstar status but Yoichi, even though he came from a different and less open country, was true to himself. He dated women and men during his time in Bastards and never let anything bother him. That was hot.
But, he, Michael Kaiser, was too prideful to say this outloud.
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman-
Where can I find a woman like that?
“So Michael, we have been seeing you settle down with Jessie, is she the one?” asked an interviewer.
“Might be, she’s amazing and I enjoy being with her a lot,” said Michael with a charming and fake smile.
“So will we see a ring soon?” she asked excited.
“Maybe or may not” he said, teasing but annoyed. The woman was too excited by this little tease and smiled big at it.
“Well, we will keep this news upclose” she said finishing it.
And I'm looking in the mirror all the time
Wonderin' what she don't see in me
I've been funny, I've been cool with the lines
Ain't that the way love's supposed to be?
Isagi heard it, and looked in the mirror if he was the problem, he could tell Kaiser was attracted to him but nothing worked for him, the jokes, the suits, the swimming shorts he used, nothing.
“Now, Yoichi, we heard that you have a couple, how is it going?”
“It’s going great, he’s a really nice guy and we had a good relationship, I’m happy with him”
“I will repeat the question we made to Michael Kaiser. Can you expect a proposal sooner?”
Yoichi laughed and someone at the other side of the TV, a certain man, was watching expecting the answer “no yet. We are starting our relationship so I doubt it will be too soon.
Tell me, where can I find a woman like that?
Michael released a breath he wasn’t realizing he was holding. What should he do? How can he find someone like him?
You know, I wish that I had
He wished to have Yoichi all for himself but it was hard for him to admit his feelings, especially because those feelings were deeper than he ever had for someone else.
Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want Jessie's girl
Where can I find a woman like that?
Yoichi still was wishing to have Michael to himself too but he couldn’t do anything if the German and stubborn man didn't do anything. He was open to having him.
Like Jessie's girl
I wish that I had Jessie's girl
I want, I want Jessie's girl
They weren’t ready to accept their relationship.
