If there were a perfect example of “opposites attract” that would be you and Bachira . A contrast so stark you two may as well be a magnet or something equivalent . .
He was bright , he was loud , wild even . You were more akin to the night . The silent , dark night with your composed voice one could only describe as monotone .
Your differences never got in the way of your love , if anything it were the highlight of it .
When the topic of romance was mentioned and Bachira of all people announced to his team that he Infact had a very loving boyfriend they nearly didn’t believe him . . After all the convincing and they at last bought it , the last thing they expected was to be met with the sight of you .
The team had just finished a game , everyone was pumped at the win yet still so exhausted from the grueling effort that came with soccer . Bachira , though tired like everyone else still seemed unfazed , especially when he had slipped away . He bounced off the court and right into your arms .
“ Y/N ! “ The voice you loved so much cut through the air the very moment he had laid eyes on you . “ did you see that ? I dedicated that one to you !” You nodded , he was met with silence , nothing verbal atleast . The silence gave him more room to talk , ramble on excitedly as your eyes never left him once . “ Meguru .” He froze , turning with a grin and body language that screamed alert at your every word . You urged him closer , which he gladly obliged . The familar feeling of fancy laced fabric tickling his cheek held his practically vibrating figure in place , one elegant hand rested on his cheek as you pressed soft , inky colored lips to his . For once he stilled , looking at you in awe as you pulled back and stood with poise once again . “ for doing so well today .” Obviously your love wasn’t a reward , he had that regardless . However it still felt right to gift him a little something for his victory . He grinned back at you , unaware of the black now staining his own lips too . One of these days you’d have to find one that wouldn’t rub off . . Or not ! The sight of him with a residue of somber color from none other than you was quite pleasant . Bachira was more than giddy . “ yeah ? ! Can I have another ?” He grinned and turned his face , pointing to his cheek while giggling like a lovestruck schoolgirl — was there really a difference anyway ? It didn’t take any convincing , more than happy to kiss him again , or a thousand more times if he wished .
Bachira returned to his teammates looking quite obvious . A whipped look in his eyes and face littered with black lipstick stains . People — his teammates included — usually looked at him weird from time to time anyway , how was he supposed to know that the shock on their faces was related to something he couldn’t see rather than his normal shenanigans ! It was only brought to his attention when someone laughed and pointed to their own face in reference to his situation .
“You go see that boyfriend you’re always telling us about ?” He nodded before registering the question of how he knew , eventually it came to mind .
“ Yeah ! . . Wait . . Huh ?” More laughter erupted , small snickers mainly . “ oh man , you have no idea do you ?”
“ idea about what ?”
Even when they showed him he made no effort to even try and wipe it off . If anything he paraded prouder and even showed off to others .
No one thought twice about the color of the stain apparently , as everyone was still quite shocked seeing you for the first time .
Isagi had heard all about you , most people have if they’d ever met Bachira . One thing would always lead to another and somehow he’d give someone an earful about his gorgeous , mysterious partner . Yet despite hearing so much it was like he practically knew you already , you two had never met . In Bachira’s mind that needed to change . He , Isagi and a few other buddies from their team Z days had gotten together , a nice reunion after so long .
He was very insistent to them that you came , no one had an issue with it anyway .
Everyone had met up at a restaurant in the city , got a nice big booth that accompanied everyone and still left an empty seat in the corner next to Meguru . He had been asked if you wanted to sit somewhere else that wasn’t cramped in the corner , he assured them that that’s exactly the seat you wanted .
No one assumed you were . . Well you when the door was opened and in stepped a boy who looked like he came directly from the night . Not when Bachira acted like the sun itself . No one had noticed when you silently made way to the table and lingered silently for a moment , hovering beside the side where Bachira sat and your seat next to him remained empty and unclaimed . No one noticed you , not when the ever tenebrous you blended into the background .
Well . No one except Bachira of course . He was practically trained to do exactly that , scout you out even in the darkest corners . He was good at it , scarily good at it . . It delighted you . “ Ah ! Scoot , he’s here !” His instructions were quick , he was already just about shoving his friends out of their seats so you could make way next to him before anyone even realized what he was doing this for . They only saw you once you began sliding by and into the seat left open , someone even jumped without meaning too . Seeing you two sat together was almost comical .
You sat completely still , fitted mostly in black save for a few accents or jewelry . Bachira on the other hand swayed next to you , all energy , zero chill . That was certainly an interesting dinner .
In terms of differences it didn’t just stop at personality . No . Your wardobes looked as if night and day personified .
His outfits , bright and fun , usually didn’t require much help . It was simple to throw a shirt and jacket on with accessories like bracelets and what not . However there was a whole process with some of your more intricate designed clothes . Years of repeating the process , you could do it fine on your own . . A pair of extra hands never hurt however . . Extravagant buckles , zippers , laces , bows and more . Sometimes you’d lose count , Bachira usually couldn’t even begin to keep track . He just did whatever came into his vision or whatever you asked of him . Even if he didn’t understand it , he enjoyed it ! Those moments , getting to tie the finishing ribbon to finish your look , give you that spruce and make you look all put together , it gave him a sense of satisfaction . He’s learned so many different ways to tie bows now , sometimes he’ll sit and untie small things just to re-tie them again and again . Another thing he loves is the proximity of something like that . Practically crawling on you was the best , fixing ruffles in the front while behind you giving the perfect excuse to have his arms hooked around , sitting on you with his legs crossed as you sat all proper as you normally did with a hand securing him comfortably . He loved it , all of it .
One day there was the brilliant idea ( Bachira’s of course ) to attempt and switch styles . You’d doll him up all dark and fancy while he got to see what you’d look like in colorful apparel .
It was almost unsettling , eyes of the dead dressed so upbeat and living . He ate it up while you looked semi unsure , but went along with it nonetheless . Meanwhile he looked like a goth who didn’t quite get the memo of the style . Twirling around , bouncing of the walls , grinning at himself in the mirror . That got a rare giggle out of you he’d die to hear again . Which lucky for him he was just about the only person who could make you do such a thing .
He was so bright , so full of life , Entertaining like no tomorrow . Even the moon needed the sun light to keep shining , but sometimes you couldn’t help but wonder what drew him to you ? You weren’t a man who asked many questions , but one late night you were itching for an answer . Staying up this late was common , even expected for you . Whether you were sitting at home like now or out walking the dead of night . You were as nocturnal as you looked . His head laid in your lap as he’d occasionally toss and turn , unable to sit still , his body constantly alive and in motion . One hand of yours was stroking idly through his bee-like locks , the other settled on his chest to feel the beat of his racing heart on your own skin . Even without your ensemble , dressed simply , you still looked like gloomy and elegant was your middle name . Eyes glazing over his through thick , dark lashes met his big eyes staring back at you . He was smiling , just starting at you with his lips curled and wide . “ Meguru .” He loved how you said his name . How ‘Meguru’ was a title or pet name of its own in your book , how lavish you sounded addressing someone like him — so wild and different to elegance .
“ What . . Drew you to me ?” The flat tone didn’t match the emotional weight of the question . You always sounded that way , even when feeling so strongly . It was quiet for a moment , moonlight seeping in thin strands through the slightly ajar blinds , hitting him so perfectly where it left a shine in his eyes while gazing at you . The surroundings of the room , from the dim lighting , to the decoration , the tidy order where everything had a specific place to create the dark harmony that mirrored the owner of said room . Everything so dark and sure with its refinement , everything with grandeur matching and complimenting its neighboring object . Everything including you fit into the room like a perfect puzzle , everything except for Bachira . Still , with how comfortably he lay he looked right at home . As if standing out didn’t bother him . It didn’t , not if standing out meant standing with you — or sitting in this case .
“ Well ,” he started , looking up in thought . “ you don’t make me feel like I have to belong . You don’t care that I’m different , that I’m not like you . “ your hands kept carding through his hair , listening intently to his answer that amped up the pace of your heart . “ and you’re interesting ! So cool and mysterious , not caring what other people think about how you dress !” Another reason , this was the rant he normally went on to others . Listing every reason he was with you in the first place and every reason that’s why he hopes you’re his only forever . He was glad to finally talk about this to you . Hear him sing your praise . “ and how sure , my monster likes how dark you are . But for once it feels like I’m choosing you for myself instead of my monster doing it for me !” The way he sat up was nothing short of intense , however everything about him seemed that way . You loved that about him .
One sided conversation filled the room for what could be guessed of being hours , words of love flooding out , every last detail of yours being brought up and praised . It was sweet , beyond so .
He knew that even if you didn’t talk as much about him for as long as he did for you , that you still loved him the same level . He knew because he knew you and you knew him —
And as they say , to be known is to be loved .
You knew a whole lot about eachother . Differences or not .

Abuse was a common story no one knew because no one would tell it . Most didn’t know that the bruises on others , on children came from inside the home .
Micheal Kaiser was a victim to this . He had been for awhile , It was all he knew for the 8 years of life he’d gone through . When home didn’t feel safe enough to stay in he’d find himself outside , passing the soccer ball he had saved for between himself and a wall . He didn’t really have friends , he couldn’t go to school and make them anyway and there was never really a chance given to him elsewhere . So the lonely little boy would find himself playing on his own , practicing his precision for kicks against bricks . The plastic and synthetic mix that came together to make his beloved object was all he had . His leg would extend to meet the ball , the ball would hit the hard surface , sending it back to him . Kick , hit , return . Kick , hit , return . Kick . . ? It didn’t come back this time , he looked up , worry flooding his face . However when Kaiser looked up he wasn’t met with the original sight of just the world around him .
He was met with you , looking at him with big curious eyes while your foot sat on the ball . He was about to yell , get mad , tell you to give him his possession back as he felt the fear of losing it creep up his neck . He didn’t have a chance before the ball was lightly passed back to him . It was quiet , even when the initial surprised settled and just left two lonely boys with nothing else to do , nowhere else to go .
You looked nervous , the way you reached back and rubbed your neck like that would soothe you .
“ I . . I’m Y/N .” Voice sheepish with a quiet pitch that anyone else who wasn’t in as close of proximity as Kaiser would struggle to hear .
“ do you wanna play together ?”
—
From that first meeting you two had went years together , when his house didn’t feel like home he’d find you . When you couldn’t find your place you’d take the one right next to him .
The summer heat of August beat down on the two of you . Kaiser had a pout on his face as he tried to fan himself from the relentless rays of sun , you had been long since flopped over like a beached fish in the shade that didn’t seem to help by much . Hot as it was , the two of you would rather suffer the sticky , sweating , scorching outdoors than be trapped inside and apart .
“ I feel like I’m dying . .“ pushing yourself to sit up-right you nodded along to his complaints . . Limply falling onto his shoulder which the heat from your two bodies now connected didn’t help .
“ right . ? It’s sooooo hot out . . Fan me too Micheal !” You whined from your place , head perch on his shoulder trying to catch some of the little breeze he made . “ get off me Blutegel . .” Leech , he called you a leech . Yet despite his protest he didn’t push you off , if anything the tickle of his hair was physical evidence of him pushing closer to your already burning state . You stuck your tongue out at him in defiance , disregarding his words and silently celebrating your tiny victory . “ Hey ! Mikey ! Guess what ?” With a grin a hand dug around in your pocket and he eyed you curiously . “ what now . . Please let it be a fan .” As if a fan could fit into your tiny pocket . “ it’s better ! Hands please !” He had suspicion , the grin plastered on your face compelled him to open his hands anyway . He silently mourned the loss of you against him as you turned and did something he couldn’t see , using your body as a shield against his vision . Your hands were cupped like a secret and soon enough money was dropped into his palm . Kaiser felt the cool copper and metal of Euros with some paper versions curled up and paired with the small coins . “ let’s go get something cold to eat ! Maybe a drink too if we’re lucky !” You looked brighter than the summer sun itself , he stared at you with a certain kind of awe , partially for the hopes of cold relief but also you . He swallowed it back , he didn’t want to deal with the feeling in his chest .
“ Y/N . . “ his eyes once focused on the money in his hand instead found your eager expression . “ where did you get this ?” That simple question slowly killed the excited look on your face . A small smile was still present even as you looked away from him . The words you tried to force out died before they could have a chance , your teeth digging into your lips as you tried to think of something to say . You stole from your parents . You didn’t want to think of the consequences later . He didn’t know for a fact , but your dear friend had a hunch and he felt a dread wash over him the more he thought of what this might mean for you later .
Your hands simply cupped over his , closing the money under his fingers , pushing the now balled hands up to his chest causing you to lean in . “ don’t worry about that . . Let’s just focus on making this a good day , alright ?” Eyebrows knitted up yet a small simper could be seen . He didn’t question it after that . Even as you two got up you didn’t let his hands go , instead maneuvering into holding hands . You walked in unison , a whole new heat brought to both of your faces that wasn’t the doing of summer or humidity . Fingers intertwined the whole way as side by side you made your way to a small corner store . The clerk standing behind the counter looked at you weird but kept his mouth shut as you walked around . It wasn’t exactly seen as ‘normal’ for two 11ish looking boys to parade around holding hands , but business was business so if you two were paying he could care less . the air conditioning was like a taste of heaven against your skin , you two relished in the cold as you shopped the freezers and coolers . After weighing your options you had gotten two popsicles and a drink to share , the departure from the store felt almost cruel when the contrasting heat hit you once again . With complaints and whines you two set off once again , hands still grasped to the other like being apart would kill you . Eventually there seemed like a suitable spot to settle . Setting your stuff down before sitting yourselves down . Opening your sweet treats that were miraculously only slightly melted , you cheersed before indulging . It was quiet before conversation sparked , talking eachother into the night as the sun set . You two ate , drank , finishing your cold refreshments you occasionally shared amongst each-other . Kaiser had gotten a cola flavor , you got something of your own but still enjoyed the others choices — despite the playful jabs that declaring yours was better, which turned into a playful argument of who had superior taste . Eventually you got to the point of the night where you’d have to go if you didn’t want problems for being out late . Curfew really was a bitch . The sun going down drowned out the heat slightly , still you were sweating even if it weren’t to do with the summers night . There was something waiting for you at home and it was nothing good , but it was worth it . Worth it to go out and smile with him .
“ See you tomorrow ?” Quietly the words escaped your lips . You’d look rough tomorrow to say the least , you wanted to see him anyway . The lowest was a common sight for the two of you , you had seen his , he had seen yours . Rock bottom didn’t scare you off .
“ Yeah .” A small nod paired with his answer , instead of leaving with just a wave like normal he leaned in . He felt stiff and rigid as he wrapped his arms around you in something that resembled a hug . You hugged him back , neither of you used to affection like this . . However despite its alienation from your worlds you melted into it slowly . Behind his back you smiled , dipping your head and resting in before pulling back . Reluctant was the only way to describe you two separating , the way your touchs lingered , the way a faint feel was always present like the ghost of something you longed for . The walk back home was nothing short of anxious , but there in your chest resided a small hope and happiness from earlier . So long as you had him you’d be fine and so long as he had you he could be happy .

Your body smacked across the cold concrete . Eyes blown wide with tears pricking in them as you looked desperately at what was once your house . Your father narrowed his eyes at you , hate burning in them as his fist that had struck your face clenched harder . Blood present on his knuckles , the same blood that dripped from your nose like a broken faucet . The cold air bit at your skin .
You didn’t know what you were excepting coming out to your parents , but it wasn’t this . Maybe being hit . Maybe being scolded . But not being shunned out entirely .
“ I don’t need someone sick like you infecting our house .” Every word stuck a different cord in your heart , the only thing in common was the pain each brought . He stared at you , looked down at you like you were an animal rather than a person , your mother just in view behind him with a hand over her mouth and an unreadable expression . Disgust ? Pity ? A mix of both ? You couldn’t tell . You could barely recognize the pair infront of you . They weren’t your parents . Tears blurred your vision , the only thing you could make out was the door slamming , shutting you out into the cold . Body like against the concrete with the look of someone who had given up , laying there like that’s where you had died . You pushed yourself up and grabbed a rock , hurling it at the front door like it’d have any effect . Tears of anger mixed with tears of rejection . You were pitiful . You were alone . . But not entirely . After awhile of sitting , thinking , just letting yourself marinate in the cold and pain you finally came to a conclusion . You picked yourself up and started walking . Saying you didn’t know where would be a lie , you knew exactly where you were headed , one foot infront of the other bringing you slowly to the only solace you’ve known . The solace that came in the form of a boy always by your side or vice versa .
Middle of the night , Kaiser was sitting in his room . Honestly he just about flipped out when he heard something outside , cautiously pressing further into the corner as he heard a rustling by his window . Curiosity won over his sensible thinking and he rose slowly , grabbing a heavy , worn down lamp he wasn’t even sure worked anymore . He nearly swung without thinking when he was a figured pressed against the wall , as if it were too scared to actually attempt an entrance . The lamp nearly fell to the ground right from his hands when his eyes focused in and were met with someone familiar . You , nervously looking down like you hadn’t exactly known why you came or if you were even welcome . It seemed you noticed him when you went to glance over into his room , only to be met with him staring back . Legs stayed planted firmly despite the itch you had to run , spare him from your issues , from having to look at your pathetic state . The window slid open fully , a small clatter emitting from inside the room when the lamp was set down . Wide blue eyes scanned over you , why were you here . He didn’t think he’d like the answer very much . Neither of you spoke as you just leaned against the wall , fidgeting being the only savior from the rising worry you had .
“ are you going to come inside . ? ?” A limp kick scooted objects obstructing the path out of the way . A small path inside cleared for you .
The way you sniffled caught him off guard . Kaiser knew how cold it was outside , still it didn’t sound right . Didn’t sound like a simple chilly sniff and rather something with a much more upsetting origin . Soon enough you nodded and climbed in , if the very owner of the room wasn’t guiding you in you’d have looked like a criminal . Then again why would a criminal steal from a place like this ? Somewhere with nothing to offer but a broken family . The way your head seemed glued down didn’t evade him , sitting on the windowsill with both feet indoors yet still seeming uncertain of fully stepping inside . Kaiser sat next to you , the chill outside now breezing over both your backs . Outside was much darker yet the interior of the room had a dimness only slightly illuminated faintly . Something hung in the air , a suffocating mix of everything that was unspoken . Track of time was lost as everything seemed to still , that heavy feeling didn’t seem to go away , the feeling where everything including your own bones felt too heavy . The weight just pressed on , curling in more over yourself as an attempt to hide your otherwise obvious state . You swallowed back your tears , hoping you could get out a half decent response that wouldn’t be interrupted by a hiccup or other sound driven by the unpleasant sensation everywhere . The physical hurt evident by blood , bruises and whatever else had bloomed on your body . Finally a voice cut through the waiting silence , yours .
“ I . . “ the composure you tried to uphold nearly crumbled when a warm hand settled on your shoulder . He didn’t speak in fear of speaking over you , he didn’t push in fear of scaring you off , all he could offer was a gentle and encouraging hand . “ I got kicked out .” That’s all it took for it all to crash down at once . Under his hand he could feel your shoulders shake through every sob , he didn’t know what else to do but wait as he felt his heart drop at what this entailed for you . “ I didn’t know where else to go .” It was difficult but you finally managed to get that out through cries . Your hands wiped desperately at your face like you could still the ever-flowing tears , like drying them would erase reality . Not that you could even if it were true . You sobbed into your hands for a few minutes . “ I can leave , I know —“ “ No.” Kaisers voice was stern , you weren’t going anywhere . . Even if he had to hide you away he’d do his very best to keep you safe . “ we’ll figure it out .” It was a scary thing , at merely twelve years old to be on the streets and now having to figure out how you’d blend into his life . But like he said , you’d make it work . He was sure of it , if it was for you ,
he’d do it .
Days passed while you hid out in his room , occasionally sneaking out for a change of scenery like before . There were close calls here and there , still you got by . You’d hear him get yelled at , hit , hurt . It brought a pang of guilt whenever the only thing you could do was hug him through the aftermath . You wished you could do something , but he told you just to stay out of it . That he was fine . You listened , until you couldn’t anymore .
You leaned against him in his room , talking quietly to yourselves so it couldn’t be picked up through the paper thin walls . It was going fine until interrupted by his father howling for him from the other room . The conversation cut and was replaced with silence . The silence that came before the storm , that came before the something bad you both knew too well . He got up without a word , you waited , heard his footsteps walk him right into suffering . You couldn’t sit and wait this time , when you were sure he wouldn’t notice you trailed after him , walking in time with his footsteps to drown your own out . You listened , heard the yelling started as you peaked out at him and saw a fist raised . Your feet moved faster than your body .
Kaiser braced for an impact that never came . Instead replaced by the sound of a loud thump and knocking over of many miscellaneous things .
You tackled the man who dared to call himself Kaisers father and sent him flying back , feet slipping easy as the last thing he expected was any retaliation , much less form someone he didn’t even know was present . His head hit the floor hard . Hard enough to knock him out . You stood slowly , shaking as you looked down at your own doing . A small spot of blood was visible by the head of the man who laid scarily still .
Did you kill him . ? Did you hope you did ? Something sick and deep inside you hoped that when your hand met his pulse you’d feel nothing . Relief and disappointment shot through you when you felt a steady pulse . He was just unconscious . You looked back at Kaiser who was now just standing there , gaze trained on his father lying on the floor . “ He’s . . Alive . .” You muttered quietly , there was no tell if it helped . Worry now welled within you as you slowly walked over towards him , he still stood motionless . You supposed it was better than him backing away or giving any sense of fear , but it still did nothing to calm you . “ look im sorr —“ you almost apologized until a firm grip found your body , arms wrapped tight like a vice . “ let’s get out of here .” That was all you needed to hug back . His body radiated a warmth that soothed the situation , enveloped arms cradling , nothing else seemed to matter . Not the man on the floor nor the outside world you’d soon be out in . The moment ended when you realized you were on a timer of when he’d wake up . coming to a quiet agreement you both needed to grab what you could and leave , run as fast and as far as possible until you were satisfied . Pockets stuffed with whatever money you could find around the house , that brute didn’t deserve it anyway , not when you two needed it for living and loving freely . Kaiser grabbed his ball , unnecessary as it seemed it’d break both your hearts to be without it . Food , drinks , whatever scraps you could wrap in a blanket . You left the way you first came in , through his window . You slid out first and secured everything , helping him get everything scavenged out as he’d pass to you . You reached your hand to help him out , he paused mid way through . “ what ?” You ran through a mental list , you thought you had everything . . Did he leave a change of clothes ? A spare blanket ? He leaned in , pressing a small kiss to your lips . What a romantic , your first kiss mid runaway into a new life where the bruises would heal and new ones wouldn’t spawn . It was short , both of your cheeks red as he finished his retreat . You two ran off , bags slung over shoulders and a makeshift sack-blanket carrying whatever couldn’t fit . You two ran off , leaving everything behind . It was scary , but it was better . Atleast this way there was only a chance of harm rather than hurt being a guarantee .
You two were together anyway , you’d make it work .
A young emperor and his royal guard starting a kingdom of their own .
I imagine reader and Kaiser get caught and put in jail (like canon) and then Kaiser and reader get bailed out and go to play soccer and be evil together 🥹

warning . Dacryphilia (Crying etc) and slightly toxic behavior .
If love at first sight had an opposite — hate at first sight if you will , that was the exact emotion you felt coming in contact with Micheal Kaiser .
You’d assume the same could be said of his lackey , Ness . You knew who he was , however he didn’t know you . If he did , he probably wouldn’t have been so friendly . . In all honestly the chances he’d interact with you at all were in the dirt .
But he didn’t know . So you without meaning to , got close to him .
Ness without Kaiser was sweet . Obviously he was sweet with Kaiser , just only to him . . It was like the world faded in comparison . With no comparison named Micheal , his kindness extended past that . A kindness that reached all the way to you .
Maybe you were dumb , you called yourself that a lot once it all clicked into place . . Once you’d hung out that one , final time with the boy it hit you .
You were inlove with Alexis Ness . Your friend , and enemies even closerfriend . . If you could even call him that with how he and the infuriating blonde acted . This just served as a drive to hate him more . To jab Kaiser harder with your insults , get a whole ‘nother shaker of salt whenever even the smallest wound was open . What was once just petty hate twisted into something entirely different , envy layered on like a cake of every negative feeling you held towards Kaiser . That was a tall ‘cake’ . .
Ness on the other hand faced a dilemma of his own .
He adored his dear Kaiser , he loved him , he was devoted to him .
Yet lately in thoughts that normally would shoot straight to Kaiser and Kaiser alone had another presence lingering .
Someone would mention being in love , as usual there was Kaiser , but as less usual . . There stood you . Sometimes he’d even see himself right by your side , hand in hand . He’d shove those away .
There was Kaiser . There was you , a friend .
That’s it . End of story . Where it should’ve ended atleast .
That’s where it would’ve ended if you didn’t invite him over again .
Worst of all if he didn’t accept .
Which he did anyway .
It felt almost wrong to him , sure him and Kaiser weren’t in a relationship, but to hang out with you . . Someone Kaiser hated . While he was so devoted . It felt against the rules . Yet here he was , sitting next to you giggling at something you said . There was a movie playing in the background yet both of you were too preoccupied with eachother . That’s how everything felt in the moment honestly , everything forgotten . It was as if the only light came from you and Alexis Ness and that light only shined on eachother , for eachother . Though occasionally you’d glance back at the screen , not that it’d last long . Your eyes would find themselves glued back to Ness in no time .
Everything was going smoothly , too smoothly maybe . You didn’t know when it happened but at some point you had gotten closer , what was once a good distance before you two would make contact disappeared , you were practically pressed to his side . The soundtrack from the movie kicked in , a particularly romantic song played . Ness leaned in without meaning too , the music from the film giving him thoughts . Thoughts of what would happen say you two maybe got closer . You leaned in , he did too . Ness was now acutely aware of your breath gently gusting over his neck , he imagined the contrast of the cold he was feeling from the air there now compared to the warmth your breath already brought and the even more warm your lips could offer . He was feeling awfully chilly now ,despite the heat in his face . Neither of you said a word . The moment was far too fragile , like all it took was one moment of interruption to shatter the want .
Much to your upset , his too , a loud ding emitted from his phone . You frowned , but made to effort to move . He however did . There was only one person who’d probably text Ness at this hour , opening his phone proved that to be true . As much as you didn’t want to invade his privacy , you looked over his shoulder . It was obvious who it was anyway , a feeling a dread overwhelming the hope you temporarily had .
“ ah .” He spoke , a faint smile that didn’t seem entirely genuine no matter how hard he tried to make it reach . “ Kaiser needs me to bring him something .” You nodded like you understood . You didn’t . There was a degree of you that could get it , all that Kaiser gave him or whatever . Yet still , you were sure you could offer him more . You’d willingly give it all up . As he got up you followed and walked him to your door .
He stood there , back to the door he’d soon exit through . The door he’d soon leave you through for Kaiser . You both stood there , he looked apologetic , you looked disappointed . Neither of you showed it in full . Both of you felt it far more than that , far more than you’d actually let out . After all you both had your places , his place wasnt next to you , it was next to that blonde and blue haired twat who called himself an emperor . “ Es tut mir Leid . .” ‘I’m sorry’ , “ it’s alright .” It wasn’t , but for his sake you’d pretend anyway . Neither of you could change how things were and you weren’t so cruel to make him feel bad for his choice . The most you could do was just be there for him anyway , be there even if you weren’t his number one the same way he was yours .
You’d be there when he was feeling down , you’d be there when Kaiser wouldn’t be , you’d be there when Kaiser was the problem . It didn’t matter what it was , he could reach out into nothing and you’d answer .
He turned to leave awkwardly , but when one hand was on the door knob the other felt a familiar warmth around his wrist .
No matter how futile you knew it was , you’d be the one to reach out this time . “ Alexis .” Your teeth nibbled into your bottom lip , biting now harshly like you wanted to stop yourself but couldn’t . You didn’t look up , you couldn’t . Just kept your hand clenched around his wrist and waited . “ . . Stay . .” It was selfish to ask , you knew that . . But after all this time maybe you deserved to be a little selfish .
“ . Y - . . Y / N ?” You thought it was useless , that’d he was about to apologize again and go anyway . In your peripheral vision you caught his hand leaving the door handle . You finally brought yourself to look up , brows furrowed as you looked up at him with flushed cheeks and frustration . There was a moment , you two got close again , except this time you didn’t let him fall through your fingers . This time you slowly leaned in and kissed him . He hesitated , Kaiser flashed through his mind , yet he leaned in anyway .
Stay . That’s all you asked .
he listened .
Both his hands hovered nervously , not knowing what to do as you continued to melt together instead of pull away , he settled them awkwardly around you , you adjusted your do the same and wrap around him right back . His phone was long forgotten in his pocket , the thought of leaving disappeared from his mind and shocking of all Kaiser who normally had atleast one hand in his thoughts was no where to be found . Everything but you was gone , everything else may as well have been passed off as irrelevant . You needed him to stay longer , you couldn’t let this end , so you pushed it a little . A hand slipped slowly up the back of his shirt , he gave a quiet whimper which you hungrily ate up . Your other hand traced him down , a gentle shaking of anticipation coming from him as you gently mapped his muscle , sliding your hand into his pocket and maneuvering his phone secretly out of it .
Maybe toxic , but you were done taking chances , his phone found way to your pocket instead . No more Kaiser to interrupt .
Your now free hand landed gently over his throat , your lips retracting , his own chased but you pulled back just enough out of it . He felt the warmth of your hand caress up his neck and onto his face , hooking your thumb into his mouth for easier access before leaning in . You had familiarized yourself with the feeling of his lips , his mouth was next . Your tongue found its way into his mouth , what was unsure soon became more confident and heated . Once he started returning on his own you had no need to open his mouth for him , relocating your hand up and around with a gentle but firm grip on his hair . Loose enough to not hurt but strong enough to pull him further . You two moaned into eachothers mouth , absorbing any sound the other made , Ness significantly louder . Ness was vocal . Even something simple as kissing — if you could even call it that . . — had him whimpering . He got bold , hands nervously reaching to fumble with your comfy pants . You leaned back again , this time to look at him . Ness leaned over to hide his face in the crook of your neck before you could see him , but with how hot he was you could feel his flushed cheeks . You could feel the red creeping in from the actions of the moment . You giggled quietly , while his hands stalled yours did not , softly rubbing at him but not doing more yet . Not until he looked back up like he was ready . “ Lexi . .” Ever so slightly he glanced up , still incredibly embarrassed . “ you alright ?” It was quiet , much like when you two were first interrupted , the same tension , tension that was finally being snapped . Still , despite all of that , despite the urge you had to practically tackle him , you still wanted to give him time . Give him his own chances . He nodded and mumbled something into your shoulder , too inaudible for you to do anything with what he said . “ Alexis . . Speak up . .” Your eyes were heavy , pulling him back slightly . “ tell me what you want .” You backed him up against the door , hand coming to hook around his waist as you now instead dipped into his neck . You used the hand that was settled in his hair to pull him back , pressing gentle kisses onto his exposed shoulder . “ y . . You .” His voice came out breathy , just barely above a whisper . “ I wanna keep going. .” He finally answered , shy as he’d gasp every now and then when your lips came in contact to his skin .
Soon even that wasn’t enough for you , licking over a spot before nibbling . His hands desperately gripped you as you sucked dark bruises onto his throat and around , you two were there for a long while as you made sure his skin got attention everywhere you could currently reach . Soon enough his pale neck was covered in contrasting much darker spots . You stared for a moment , admiring your work and licking over the trail you left . Poor Ness was sweating , so hot and bothered from just the start of it . Finally you connected your lips again , catching him in a heated kiss that didn’t stop there as you started to stumble . A mix between trying to desperately undress eachother and make way towards the bedroom .
With a slam of the door that came out much rougher than you meant , Ness laid on the bed , knees hanging off as you settled right there between them . With a leg you pushed him wider , the only thing clothing wise left covering the both of you being underwear . Nervously Ness brought his hands to hide his face , peering through his fingers , not being able to look away until he finally did . You leaned forward , crawling over him on the bed with heavy breaths . One hand caged him under you and the other lifted to gently pull his own away so he had to look at you . “ don’t hide from me, Lexi .” One leg was still stubbornly settled between his so they couldn’t close , which he attempted when he saw you now over him . His hands were pinned above his head , his legs held open by yours , you were above him panting . He wasn’t sure how much more of this he could take , you weren’t either . “ Oh mein Gott . .” You almost giggled , fighting to refrain so you wouldn’t ruin the moment . He sounded so breathless . It was adorable . You looked at his chest smugly , covered in blooming purple caused by none other than you . You could only imagine him having to explain to Kaiser without admitting it was you . You didn’t plan to say anything , no matter how good you could only imagine it’d feel to brag in his face that you were the one Ness would be screaming for rather than him . That you got your hands on his most trusted ally .
But this wasn’t about Kaiser . This wasn’t a scheme to get back at him , this wasn’t a plan driven by hate that you were simply using Ness for . This went past that . You loved him , you loved him a lot . Maybe that’s why you only grew to hate Kaiser more upon meeting the sweet boy under you . You were worried he’d choose Kaiser . Everytime .
Even if he did , this was the one moment you got to have . The one time he chose you . It was special , Kaiser didn’t deserve to know . This we longed to you and Ness and you two alone . You didn’t imagine Ness wanted to tell Kaiser either . .
You just admired him for a moment , watching him breathless and ready . As much of a sight he was to see right now , your patience was only so strong . You slid your hands down slowly , trusting him not to hide again as you caressed him down and landed your hands on his waistband . You licked your lips as you pulled his boxers down . Inch by agonizing inch . He watched , eyes focused on your hands as his once restricted length was freed with a spring out of his clothes . Those were tossed to the side as you did the same with your own underwear . You kneeled down between his legs at the foot of the bed , reaching out to wrap your hands around his cock ; the moment contact was made he nearly whined , he would’ve if his teeth weren’t digging stubbornly into his lips , keeping any sound muffled in . You’d deal with that later . You gathered some of the pre-cum that had been leaking since the moment things escalated . Which had made a spot in his underwear you didn’t point out , you’d embarrassed the poor boy enough at that point . You stroked gently at first , starting out slow as he’d occasionally twitch in pleasure , tensing then nearly relaxing from the feeling before stiffening back up again . You continued , rubbing your thumb over his tip when you reached it with your hand . You leaned in , letting your hands slip down and slowly trail to start working him open with his own pre as lubricant . You replaced your hand that was once ripping muffled cries from his throat with your mouth now as you kissed the underside of his cock gently . You were both inexperienced , but whatever you were doing seemed to be working , if him having to quiet himself down was any tell . So you kept on . Your eyes were glued to his face as you watched him through your lashes . You licked and watched as he rolled his head back , brows furrowed , mouth glued shut — sounds would escape anyway . He was oh so handsome . Your pretty Alexis . Finally you took him in your mouth , still fingering him as you slipped another digit in there . He couldn’t help the tears that pricked at his eyes , nor the way his hips writhed . You pressed your fingers further , curling them before digging them further , hitting a certain spot that pried a soft noise from his lips . You continued to massage that specific spot , all while you slowly took more of him down your throat , trying not to gag while he tried his hardest not to let out an array of sweet noises from your attack on both his cock and prostate simultaneously . You’d go down , then back up again , creating a bobbing motion all while he laid back and felt the warmth and wet take him further . “ a - . . Ah . . I’m gonna . .” He couldn’t finish his sentence with the way you sped up , adding another finger to bring the intensity up as he came . He came down your throat , you greedily took it all . Pulling off with a loud gulp , removing your fingers as he came down from his climax . You stood up , stroking your own length lazily while you reached forward . Ness felt himself be tugged up with an arm under his back , lips colliding with yours as he could taste himself on your tongue , which you shoved deep into his mouth . He grabbed onto you , hands finding place on your upper back . You pushed further , getting ontop of him once again as you two made out — far from done . His hands kept their place as yours fell onto their elbows rather , you lined yourself up , teasing his entrance . He tried to prepare himself , nervously swallowing his own spit when he saw your size in comparison . You were big , not a great distance bigger than him , but still large . Just staring at you got him noisy and hard all over again . Hips hoisted up , all four limbs of his desperately holding onto you .
“ ready ?” Whispered right by his ear , the only warning he got before he nodded . Slowly easing in was already much for him , letting out one long , continuous moan the further you inched yourself in . Quiet , but long . You’d give a few experimental thrust before finally bottoming out . He tried what he did when you two first began with simple tonguing , burying his face in you to silence himself . You’d just have to fuck the noise right out of him then . After giving him a moment you started , your pace awfully rough for having just begun , yet Ness didn’t seem to mind as his eyes rolled back and inaudible noises were already being heard against your neck . Groaning loudly , still not satisfied , you slowly started upping your pace , messily thrusting into him on a search for that previous spot that made him loud . All the sudden a loud yelp emitted from him , right there . You started focusing your thrusts into that one spot , causing him to moan out repeatedly , still quiet . Still not enough . “ Baby . . Louder .” You cooed into his ear , still pounding into him . Ness , ever the sweetheart , just wanted to make you happy . He listened , letting himself get loud . A particularly loud cry followed by several other pathetic noises punched out of him with your dick . That’s better . You leaned to moan directly into his ear . “ goodboy .” That got him , nails digging harder into your back . You heard something , another sound mixed in with his regular pleads of pleasure . You leaned back , still thrusting in harshly , you were met with the sight of tears streaming down his face . “ more . . P. . Please . .” Was all he could get out , you watched him , mesmerized by the tears running down his cheeks . All focus was diverted to watching his expressions , leaning in to kiss back his tears while you gave into his demands and went harder with a grunt . Kissing his cheeks while his eyes rolled back and salty tears kept rolling down . Without warning he tightened quickly , again cumming , this time it splattered onto him , forming a small , white , sticky puddle onto his belly . You fucked him through his climax , not easing up , not stopping . You laid him down , slowing for a second as you pushed his legs up onto your shoulders for a deeper angle , adjusting with it as you fell right back into your previous , punishing pace . His throat felt raw from screaming out moans , moans of your name . Music to your ears . Before long you came , filling him up , fucking yourself through it before slowing into a stop . The only sound in the room was your mixing breaths . You leaned down , kissing him again , much gentler this time . You took that moment together , that sweet moment connected still after that intense time . You pulled back , not pulling out quite yet , letting your forehead rest against his . “ you okay . ?” You asked nervously , afraid you overdid it . He nodded with a small thumbs up . “ Wunderbar . .” You smiled at that , finally pulling out with a small sigh. . “ I’m glad . . You did great, baby .” You let yourself collapse next to him , kissing his cheek . Once again he flushed at the praise , if his temperature raised any higher you’d think he’s sick . . “ c’mon , let’s get cleaned up and lay down . . “ you coaxed him up , helping support him all the way to the bathroom .
You cleaned him up , tucked him in and left the room . He was panicked when you first went to leave , but you reassured him you’d be right back . You re-entered with a small bowl of fruit and two forks , cuddling up right next to him as you handed him one of the cold metal utensils and set the bowl between you two . You both ate , comfortable quiet falling between you as you laid together . You wanted to ask what you were now , but you also didn’t wanna scare him , rush him , or anything of the sort . So you kept your silence , quietly praying he’d give you the answer you hoped for . Once you two finished the bowl , you set everything on the night stand . You could deal with it in the morning . . You turned off the last remaining light and cuddled up with him , curling into eachother without any worry of anything else . . His phone covered by a pile of clothes long forgotten , unbeknownst to the several follow up message Kaiser had sent . Again , a morning issue . .
As you two were quietly drifting off , Ness shuffled and looked at you . “ uhm . . Y / N ?” You glanced up from the comfortable place you took under his jaw . “ hm ?” Tired eyes fixing on his equally tired figure . “ what . . Are we . ?” Calm as you were , that took the heavy weight you were saving for later away . You looked at him , really looked at him , glints of adoration in your eyes and a voice so sweet you only reserved for him . “ I don’t wanna rush you into anything . .” You paused , feeling the slump of disappointment Ness didn’t mean to give . “ but . . If you’re open to it . .” You sat up slightly , resting your hand on his jaw , to which he leaned into like a puppy and looked at you with curiosity . “ I’d love to . . Be with you . Be your boyfriend .” Maybe you should’ve done this at a better time , but no matter the case it was in Ness didn’t seem like he cared . He was just glad you felt the same way , glad that after this you wouldn’t leave and forget about it . He pushed past your hand to cuddle up closer , you both giggling quietly in the dark as he pulled himself ontop of you and laid on your chest .
“ I’d love that too .”
first time writing nsfw woah . Be nice to me. He also might be ooc I’m sorry I haven’t written him before 😞

You were everything he wanted, the perfect celebrity wife he always dreamed of . .
Famous to the point it was strange to have not heard of you , filthy rich from just being yourself infront of cameras , looks that could kill because you were so drop - dead gorgeous . .
Yeah , his perfect wife . Almost . There was one issue,
You weren’t a wife, you weren’t even a girl,, everything he’s ever wanted in a partner came to him in the form of a GUY ? ? ?
The weirdest , maybe even worst part was the fact it didn’t deter him from imagining you at that alter .
Sure . . Maybe he was a little freaked out over the fact he was having an identity crisis from just meeting you , yet that was strangely enough the reaction you had a habit of getting . God , you were just too much for this world . Too much for him especially .
He didn’t know what it was about you in specific , I mean , there were probably thousands of celebrities , he even had a major crush he planned to marry prior to you .
One thing about you was despite your fame you didn’t have a persona , you were real , tried to be atleast . You wouldn’t hold back on your thought , you didn’t care who knew what , an open book if you will . A book unafraid of giving people paper cuts no matter their fame . People ate it up , people loved it . Maybe that’s what he loved too , the fact you on TV compared to meeting you wouldn’t be something to be disappointed in .
Once the initial shock of falling for a guy faded he was quick to jump on you . So what ? He could still fulfill his dreams of a celebrity wife , you’d be his malewife . That was a thing , he looked it up , people loved it . Apparently he was now apart of that percentage .
After lots of fighting , Sendou finally managed to convince his manager to reach out to you . A collaboration , a meetup , anything . . Which by some miracle worked , under the disguise of work he pulled strings and magically here you were , sitting infront of him at some cafe where you hopefully wouldn’t get recognized and swarmed . .
You were handsome . He couldn’t stop noticing . Couldn’t stop thinking , thoughts all about you . His eyes traced your face over , occasionally landing and hovering over certain areas such as your lips — which you caught . Then would look away to pretend you had no idea . You were painfully aware of his interest , even painfully more aware of your own . Every step of this interaction you were eating up as if he was hand feeding you personally , which there was no doubt in your mind he probably would upon asking . That’s a thought for later .
“ so . . A collaboration huh ?” A soft smile plastered on your face , as if you couldn’t see directly through that lie and him at the direct center . “ huh . .” He was zoned out , before randomly getting it together . “ I mean - yeah ! Why not right ?” His attempt at innocence was poor to say the least , atleast he was decent enough to try and keep up with the warped truth he had given you . “ What were you thinking ?” You meant the collaboration , then again you wouldn’t mind a little glimpse into his thoughts . He physically restrained himself from saying ‘ you mean about something other than you ?’ by gripping his leg . “ eh something good right ? Only the best from us !” A nod of agreement whilst leaning back slightly . “ obviously . I had hoped you’d say something like that .” You smiled , a lot less gentle seeming now , having switched that for the more real vibe you normally gave .
You sipped from whatever you had ordered upon arriving , “ you have no actual idea do you ?” Looking at him freeze from under your lashes was the equivalent of gold . It didn’t last long , having been caught he grinned back . “ well . . No point in hiding it right ?” That’s when he stood up . Oh my god he stood up . . In the middle of the cafe , pointed at you and declared loudly . “ I’m a huge fan . “ he almost , almost continued with ‘ and I want to marry you . . Or something along the lines of . “ just a fan . . Or ? . .” You inquired , hand now settled on your cheek and leaning forward , elbows on the table to keep staring up at him . “ eheh . . More . . Definitely more .” He answered . You looked at him from where you sat . “ you done ? Got it all out ?” It wasn’t exactly mocking , more of a genuine question to see if he’d sat back down . You were smiling afterall , more than entertained by this whole situation . “ I could tell anyway .” Tapping the other side of the table — his side of the table with your palm like you were instructing him to sit . He did , grinning now much more boyishly at you . “ flattered . I am , really . “ there was something in you that could tell being just a fan wasn’t where he planned on drawing the line . That maybe even friends wouldn’t be enough to suffice either . “ it’s cute . You planning to get me out here .” His face flushed a color akin to his hair , you swear you could almost see steam as he subtly curled in on his own seat in embarrassment and fluster . “ I’ll entertain it .” You didn’t explain what exactly , just that you’d keep along with him . Much to his dismay , you stood up . Having already paid and everything to turned to leave , he frowned and got up aswell . “ woah — hey . . Where are you going ?” Was he seriously getting turned down . Maybe he should’ve paid more attention to the way you worded it instead of getting all excited . “Cute” ? Easily could be undermining . . “Entertain it”?? Maybe sarcasm ? He was great at sarcasm ! How come he didn’t catch it . You both stood outside , having texted someone to come pick you up , taking the moment to apply a fresh coat of colored gloss to your lips . A guy , yes , however you liked to be a pretty guy . Celebrities used makeup all the time anyway . You waited for a moment quietly with Sendou , pulling your hood up so you wouldn’t get recognized and flocked . Or caught by paparazzi for what you were about to do .
“ how about next time instead of being secretive and pretending like it’s a work thing , you just ask me out . “ before he could respond, you pulled him in pressing your lips to the side of his face as his eyes widened . You held him there for a second , slipping your hand into interlocking with his . When you pulled away he just stared at you , jaw hung , eyes wide , absolute awe . He wanted to brag the moment he got back , was he allowed to ? ? Should this be secret ? ? Would anyone believe him ? ?
“ for the road .” As you slipped your hand out from his he felt something left behind , looking down at a small piece of napkin with a number delicately written . Your personal number .
“ w- wait a minute , one last thing . !” There was a fancy looking car just up the street , he assumed it was yours , now on a time limit before he’d be forced to stay away from you . You turned back with a curious hum and raise of your eyebrow , to which he tried to lean in .
His lip he tried to plant on yours was intercepted by fingers . Your hand between the two of you as he pulled back , worried he overstepped . You just smiled back , not bothered a bit .
You took your hand and pressed the place Sendou had made contact with to your own lips , before pressing them back to his again . An indirect kiss if you will .
“ next time . We’re in no rush !” The car pulled up , to which you grabbed the sides of his shoulders . “ We’re young , rich and famous ! We’ve got all the time in the world .” If his heart wasn’t beating hard enough from you before , it was practically begging to break out of his chest by now . You released him and waved , stepping back and into the car which someone had opened for you . Sendou just stood there , his own hand reaching up to ghost where you had placed yours . He was enthralled all over again , like falling in love with you once over the screen wasn’t enough .
He looked forward to that next time . He looked forward to you , hopefully pressing your lips on his for real next time .
The next time he saw his team he was grinning . Proud looking as ever , yet refusing to explain why .
“ oh you know . . Just had a good day .”
Which was true , because the day with you might have just been the best day ever .
He couldn’t wait to have an even better one , with you once again , of course .
A participant of Bluelock who didn’t care for soccer .
A big ball of potential who wanted nothing to do with it .
No matter the match , no matter if you were winning or losing it was like you had this constant expression of dread gracing your features , as if just being in the facility was a siphon .
That’s why no one could ignore the way your face lit up when it was announced Bluelock would be playing Japan U-20 . Both past rivals and teammates alike who knew you were honestly. . Dumb founded . However you couldn’t stop and think even once about how different you were compared to per usual .
Not when he was the only thing on your mind . The first and most likely last thing you’d be so excited for that you’d actually be waiting , counting .
The prospect of seeing him again , even just the chance had you reeling even if you hadn’t fully smiled yet . . Just imagine when you actually saw him . Standing just on the other side of the field . You livened up as a whole , like a match ablaze was finally brought to the long since burnt out wick and gave a whole new . . Everything to you .
Your eyes widened watching him walk without a care in the world on the field , atleast it was that way until his eyes met you . He fully froze for a second , both of you now just standing there watching like you were witnessing live the other hanging the very stars . Despite your moment , the eye contact , the longing , you both continued on . Getting into your places . You had a game to play and if playing was the closest you two could get for now so be it .
It’s better than nothing .
It’s better than the years of not being able to even exist in the same world as you two had been on entirely different levels .
.
.
You played your hardest . Everyone did . 4-3 .
You won , Bluelock won . And yet even amidst the celebration , the joy , you were too busy catching your breath and ogling Sae across the field . He looked older now , however not unfamiliar as even now with years of having not interacted you watched his games , his interviews . . You kept up with his life on the other side of a screen , whatever you could keep up with atleast .
After every game you both won — in the past atleast . — you’d run right up to him , jump and trust every ounce of him not to drop you . He’d catch you every time . No matter how dull of an expression he’d wear , you were hoisted up the very same in victory no matter if it were his or yours , however since you were practically attached at the hip you usually played on the same team anyway . Your victory was always his victory , his victory always yours . Your ideas of winning tied to the other being present always , whether physically or via a thought .
But you two were older now , more mature , you both had grown . . And when you grew you did it apart . Being separated for so long afterall , things don’t just freeze in time . You could run up to him like the old days , but truth was now you were playing on different teams , in different leagues , you as a whole were different now . You locked eyes again like at the start of the match , silently praying for him to atleast greet you if nothing else . . Even if now acting like you two were nothing but strangers was easier , you wanted to hear his voice in a place other than your memory . Hear his voice for real .
Both teams bowed , got ready to walk off the field . your team marched and you followed , head down as cogs turned and ever present thoughts of him clouded everything , a constant reminder ringing that things were different now . You knew you couldn’t look back , that’s what the future was for right ? To keep looking forward . To keep walking . To leave behind what was your everything . .
You lagged behind slightly yet didn’t dare go for a third round of gazing longingly at your ‘bestfriend’ .
You both had so much more ahead of you , even if now you had to continue on . . differently . Without eachother . . Even if you didn’t get your first victory - hoist that you’d always look forward to at the end of games .
That was alright .
You had him once and that was more than enough for you . .
or was it .
Maybe it would’ve been . Just maybe if you had gone to anywhere but the facility that taught you to be greedy , to have an ego . To want more .
Maybe if you hadn’t been taught that having the ball between your feet meant you needed to shoot , you wouldn’t have balled your fist the way you did and stopped in your tracks .
You were almost off the field . You almost let him slip between your fingers again . .
But you didn’t .
You stubbornly shoved back , your body that was tired from the match carrying you before you could even think to stop , but even when the thought crossed your mind you didn’t .
The driven stride slowly sped as you got closer , Sae who was preoccupied with making his way off the field himself caught something in his peripheral vision . Shidou who was talking about the game randomly watched as Sae turned his back , to which Ryusei peaked in curiosity from behind his shoulder at what caught his attention . Before long you were infront of him , in such a short time you felt your feet leave the ground as you could just barely hear confused conversation from the crowd .
You were afraid , nerves welling up despite the fact you’ve already launched yourself .
‘ what if he doesn’t catch me ?’
‘ what if it’s been too long ?’
All your thoughts were quelled when you felt it . What started out as a graze against your body as if something looking for the right position , turned into hands . Hands firmly wrapped around you , hooked under your arms and settled firmly on your back so you couldn’t fall . You opened your eyes with your arms wrapped around Itoshi Sae and in return his arms wrapped around you right back .
Everything stilled , but you just smiled like you’d won the World Cup , like you’d just won everything .
In a rare moment , Sae smiled back . He tried his hardest not too and it was only a slight curve , determined to try and keep up the coating he wore over his real expressions , however he just couldn’t . Not with you . Not with how much he missed you .
Not with how glad his silent prayer of you running up to him all over again made him .
Just this once he’d let it happen . .
Just for you .
You giggled , slowly being lowered back to your feet and yet the way you two were wrapped around eachother still lingered . You two had an awful lot of time to makeup for , so what was the hurry ?
“ I missed you . . Dude. .” You hoped the ‘dude’ would maybe make the moment seem less intimate , trying to use casual terms to put an ever so slight veil between ‘best friends’ and more . Despite the fact you looked an awful lot like more right now .
A quiet breath escaped his lungs , “ I did too .”
This was certainly going to be some kind of PR issue . . Not to mention you didn’t know how some sides of the media would react to a moment like this between two boys despite the swear there’s ‘nothing going on’ .
You and Sae talked , you swore to keep in contact this time , even set up a time to see eachother again . . As soon as possible of course . However , there was someone standing just a few feet from this reunion with a big ol grin . “ ohohohooo . . Now who is this ! ”
Ah , right . . You forgot about the player who was standing right next to him , the same player who had been flirting with Sae on the pitch for half the time . .
Seems now you’re both under his radar if you weren’t before . .
