Work Text:
Isagi had been part of Bastard München for a few months now. and the past few months had been nothing short of tiring.
Being a newbie meant he wasn't yet considered to play with the top players,
Isagi worked harder than ever, and in just 1 month, he was able to be promoted to be in the main team.
Isagi was happy after all, he had worked so hard to be where he is, but apparently only Isagi, though that.
Everyone except Noa and Kaiser seemed to be avoiding isagi. It wasn't obvious at first, but they won't pass the ball to Isagi or even talk to him off the field.
Isagi tried to be polite, but nothing helped these people just had it in their minds that Isagi was only here because of the connection that Noa or Ego somehow made sure that Isagi would be in the main team.
Isagi was trying to not let it affect him, but it was too much, and worst of all He couldn't talk about this with Hiori and the others because he didn't want to worry them;
Isagi hummed after his training; he was in the team's locker room as he got up to go to his small apartment.
thought he finally proved his worth in the Ngl, but some people really don't care and think everything is just luck. Isagi was about to leave when he heard Noa
“Don't forget about the party today,” Noa said as he looked at Isagi.
“Oh, shit.”Isagi had forgotten today he had to attend a party of the sponsors.
This was his chance to get a big sponsorship since he was still new; it would help him make connections.
Isagi needed and started walking as he got home he started getting ready.
He took a shower and started getting ready for the party.
Isagi was nervous, but he sniped out of it.
This was Isagi's first time coming here. Isagi was a bit tired because of the training, but when he arrived at the 5-star hotel with the other where his party was being held, he was excited.
There were a lot of people, and music was playing. As Isagi looked around the place, it was nice. It was beautiful. Isagi looked around to observe the place.
But there was one problem: most people had a focus on the German player or Noa. It's not like Isagi didn't meet up with anyone else, too. But atmosphere was weird
Isagi got tired and stood at the private balcony where not many people could see him.
There were so many new people; Isagi didn't know why, but it was starting to feel weird.
He didn't know if it was because of the language difference or what, but he was feeling uneasy.
Of course there were people he knew from another club, Sae, but he paid no attention to Isagi; if anything, he was ignoring his sponsor and running away with Bunny God knows where.
“be careful or they think you too easy yoichi”
Isagi looked behind him, and there was Kaiser.
“ Why are you here?”
“got bored, and they kept on bringing up the last match. That's why Sae and bunny left”
Isagi knew where this was going apparently they all weren't having the best season this year.
People keep on blaming Isagi for this online, but even Real and the other top clubs were not at their best; it wasn't just BM. Isagi is remembering how everyone online is still blaming him for their lost last match. Isagi mostly ignores social media, but even he gets curious about it.
“People who have never put their lives on the line will, of course, make fun of those who weren't gifted and actually worked hard.” Isagi looked at Kaiser
Kaiser didn't make eye contact and was looking at the glass in his hand.
It's strange even though kaiser and isagi are in the opposite situation Kaiser seemed to understand what he was going through.
Being with kaiser was still annoying but peaceful. Isag looked up at the sky.
“Yeah, you're right.” Kaiser sighed as he looked at the moon.
“Soon I will show them to never mess with me.” Isagi said
Kaiser looked at Isagi.
Isagi looked at kaiser.
“You have changed.”
“what”
Isagi thought about how when he first met Kaiser he hated him but in the match against PXG, Isagi thought Kaiser might be no different from him with how he reacted to genius but well… as he knew the out come didn't come as he wanted.
“I wasn't mad at you,” Kaiser Whisper.
Huh
“I used to be mad at myself,” as kaiser said that isagi understood what he meant for kaiser mistake would end it all, that what he have learnt in these few months in the cruel world of football.
he understand that Kaiser now to some level one loses really can be your end here until you have a come back People who supported you start to mock you. Even if they are your fans
he now understands why Kaiser was the way he was; he was blaming himself, not Isagi, so this is why it makes it even more shocking.
But it change now
Huh
“ You can't win them all,” kaiser started “and no matter how much it hurts, you can't change the outcome. You just have to grow from it and hope for a better future” Isagi looks at Kaiser in awe and smiles.
Without thinning isagi asked
“Hey, Kaiser dances with me.”
Isagi grabbed Kaser's hand.
“You own one; I score 2 goals in the ngl in pxg while you only score 1.” Isagi said smiling.
Kaiser was annoyed, but didn't pull back
Isagi and Kaiser standing on the hotel's private balcony, momentarily escaping the crowd's noise.
The cold night and the moon light touch their faces.
"It's peaceful out here." Isagi whispers as they dance in the middle of the night without anyone being there to interpret
The next match the name isagi yoichi and Micheal kaiser were trending.
