Chapter Text
Yoichi Isagi was very passionate about football, it was a sport where he could put all of his worries aside temporarily and just be able to play on a green pitch with his friends alongside him.
For the most part that is the reality of what happened whenever he played football, that was until he had the bright idea of choosing the Bastard Munchen football club when he had the choice.
Usually Yoichi Isagi liked a challenge, he liked being able to test his own abilities and work his way up the chain to become stronger, but when he bumped paths with the famous Michael Kaiser, he couldn't help but want to punch the man on the spot.
Michael Kaiser was sure cocky, way too confident for his own good. It also didn't help the fact that he had a pet following him everywhere he went, constantly supporting Kaiser's choices and glazing him every. Single. Moment. That so called pet was no other than Alexis ness. He was one of the most pesky people that Isagi had met (after Kaiser), he constantly got mad at Isagi for not passing to Kaiser or “stealing Kaiser's goal” which was bullshit.
Despite the two of them being infuriating and a hassle to deal with whenever playing, he still had some close friends on his team. Hiori and Kurona were beside him and Isagi was deeply grateful for them being there.
That was until today.

“Kaisagi?! What the hell is a Kaisagi?!” Isagi yelled, his face contorted as he looked at the currently number 1 trending tag in football.
Hiori was not helping the situation, he was practically rolling around on the floor having a laughing fit. “It's yours and Kaiser's ship name!” He wheezed out, immediately bursting out into a frenzy of giggles.
“Theres complications of all of your interactions, interactions.” Kurona turned his phone to Isagi. On the glowing screen, it showed their most recent match against Manshine city where Kaiser had his hand resting on Isagi's head.
“Hah???- that's taken out of context! That bastard was mocking me!” Isagi spluttered, his face an ugly mix of rage, confusion and pure horror.
Yukimiya opened up the door of the lounge, sitting next to the group of 3.
“What are you guys looking at?” Yukimiya raised an eyebrow, putting his sports water bottle on the nearby table. Hiori didn't answer, instead he just handed the phone over to the clueless Yukimiya.
A few seconds passed.
“...Oh”
“..Oh” ?? Isagi repeated, disbelief in his voice. “Is that seriously all you have to say?”
“It's worse than I thought.” Yukimiya pinched the bridge of his nose, closing his eyes as he handed the phone back to Hiori.
Hiori clicked play on the video again, rewatching it for the 5th time in delight. Isagi was basically about to rip his skin off if he had to hear that god awful audio where Kaiser's voice echoed through the speaker.
After suffocating against a pillow, he finally decided to look at the tag properly to see what people actually thought about it.
The first post he stumbled across was a slowed down edit from one of the halls at a football stadium, Isagi had no clue how someone got that footage but that wasn't his main worry, his main worry was the conversation between Isagi and Kaiser that was now shown to the public eye.
It was when Kaiser thought it would be funny to annoy Isagi and delay him from joining everyone in the locker rooms. Their video wasnt low quality but it wasnt the best either, besides the quality didnt matter when the o/p had cleared the audio so their conversation was clear.
“So yoichi, when are you gonna bow down to me and feed me goals?” The blue faded hair man said smugly, it was less than a question and more of an order, what an egoist.
“Keep dreaming, Emperor.” Isagi heard his own voice through the phone.
He quickly scrolled past the video, the second hand embarrassment quickly crawling up his neck.
He moved to tweets, which was much more popular when it came to “#kiis”.
The first tweet echoed in his mind like a drum, “Enemies to lovers trope final boss, Kaiser only smiles that freely around Isagi btw !!”
Okay so that's just not true? He always has that shit eating grin on his face no matter who he's with, Isagi wants to personally wipe it off his face and maybe leave a bruise if he's lucky.
In another tweet, Isagi is shocked to see a 20 minute analysis on all the times Kaiser had ….
Stared at isagi like he wanted to kiss him.
“...”
“...”
“People have way too much free time on their hands.” Isagi said in a disbeliefing tone, he's still trying to catch up on the fact that people ship him with Michael Kaiser, THE arrogant, annoying, cocky Michael Kaiser. The same Michael Kaiser that immediately deflates Isagi's mood whenever he opens his mouth.
For the next hour, Isagi had to listen to Hiori wheeze and scroll through tweets and videos. Today was probably the worst day in his life and it was only 11am.
Thankfully Kurona slowly served the conversation away from Isagi and Kaiser, did Isagi ever mention how much he loves Kurona? Yeah well now you do.
Yukimiya left the room a little later, he said something about having to ask kunigami something, Isagi wasn't really listening. His mind was still on the topic of “kaisagi” , he couldn't wrap his head around the idea.
How had this whole thing even started?
Isafi suddenly sees a hand waving in front of his face, he looked up to see Hiori.
"...Stop thinking so hard." Hiori nudged his shoulder with two fingers. "Your face is getting weird."
"Dont you say my face was already weird?" Isagi muttered, sitting up and crossing his legs into a basket on the couch
"Weirder."
"...wow, so kind Hiori, it warms my heart."
"That's what friends are for!" Hiori said sarcastically, his voice warm and teasing.
The three of them faded into normal conversations, talking about football drills or hangout plans.
Isagi's phone suddenly buzzed, then again, then again and again until his phone was shifting slightly from all the notifications infiltrating his Instagram.
“What the hell?” Isagi raised an eyebrow, hesitating for a second before picking up the phone that was face down on the couch. The moment he looked at his home screen, he was met with a new trending post that was climbing in popularity.
It has personally tagged not only him but Kaiser too!
It was a post featuring Hiori and Bachira, it was a while back when the three hung out. In the audio he could hear his own voice talking about Kaiser, something about how pesky he was and throwing in some insults about his hair, because who's his fucking barber??
It wasnt romantic at all, but the post's title was "Isagi cant stop talking about Kaiser, hes so obvious."
HELLO?!?!? WHAT.
Then a thought infiltrates his mind.
What if Kaiser sees these tweets?
What if he HAD seen these tweets??
Oh god.
