Kainess(kaiser x ness) —> angst, suicide, attachment issues, unrequited love, is*gi
"Get off of me already, Ness." Kaiser spat shrugging Ness' arm off of his shoulder. Ness blinked and stepped slightly black, meeting Kaiser's glare with his stupid frog-like smile. "Sorry, sorry," Ness began, "But that goal was amazing, Kaiser! Seriously, do you never feel good about them?" He laughed awkwardly.
"Of course I do...But that doesn't mean you have to be all over me for it." Kaiser looked disgusted, though Ness couldn't see that from the angle which he was stood. "Oh well-" "Just shut up, Ness. I'm going to go shower." Kaiser snapped abruptly.
Ness stood as if he was lost, watching Kaiser walk off into the Bastard München bathrooms. He wanted to go behind him, atleast enquire what was wrong with him. But it was oh so clear Kaiser didn't want to be bothered. Such a bittersweet feeling for Ness, really, a sour taste back into the past.
Being the youngest in a family full of dull scientists was never the life fit for him, especially after learning to adore magic. Siblings pushed him away, he'll even his own parents did! It was always as if he was never there and now that same indifferent feeling was carefully returning.
Ness never learnt to get attached to people, so that's why when Kaiser first saw and acknowledged him, he clung to the boy as if he was his lifeline pumping him with venom. And now that exact lifeline was being...cut off?
'Maybe it would be better if I...What could I do?' Ness thought as he realised Kaiser was no longer in his sight. "What if I just left?" He muttered in a breath.
The BM team had been invited to join some programme called...Blue Lock?
That clap sound echoed in Ness' mind. Kaiser...his beloved teammate pairing up with this Yoichi Isagi?! Who even was he? Who he compared to Ness? What was so special about him!? What did Kaiser see in him that he couldn't in Ness? Many emotions mixed within Ness yet the most prominent was jealousy.
However, what could Ness do? The two really were an amazing duo. Praised by the NEL masters, other teams, social media...Ness was irrelevant in the equation all together. Maybe Yoichi was better. But he didn't want that. Ness didn't want Yoichi to be better.
It was as if he was never there. He had tried to include himself, but it was like he was just a shadow. A quiet, still, useless shadow. All throughout the NEL he felt transparent. He contributed greatly in matches but it was as if those achievements were never seen! Not by Noa, not by Yoichi and especially not by Kaiser.
Pushed to the side, forgotten, maybe he wasn't meant for Kaiser after all. He was never Kaisers but oh did Ness really want Kaiser to be his.
The NEL had ended. BM was back in Germany. Kaiser hadn't talked to Ness once after their return. All Ness could remember Kaiser saying to him "Get lost, shitty Ness." Such sick words, yet he clinged onto them as if they meant something.
A week into their return, nothing. Just the odd words or few said in training, otherwise, nothing. Ness had given up entirely. Maybe he should've given up a while ago but he was all for optimism. He tried, he held on for so long, he really, really did. Yet it just wasn't enough.
It was a cold night in Germany. A dark one, at that. Ness stood alone on a bridge behind the shop where him and Kaiser would always go after practice to get sweets. Such a sweet memory. The breeze blew through his hair. It was a long fall down. 'No one could survive after falling all that, right?' Would his family care? No one would care, right? Kaiser wouldn't mind. He was thriving, right? Thriving without him.
Would he still thrive if Ness wasn't there at all?
It was on the news the next evening. 'Bastard München star, Alexis Ness, found dead under <insert name of bridge>.' It was broadcast on billboards throughout Germany. Kaiser only saw after practice. For the first time since he was a child, Kaiser's heart dropped.
The thought was frantic in his head. Questions after questions flooded his mind. 'How? Why? He seemed perfectly fine!' Ness was good at that. Pretending he was fine.
A few days had passed. The hospital had released an autopsy. Landed on his chest, ribs shattered, pierced his heart. Death was almost, if not, instant. It was clear suicide. Kaiser hadn't spoken to anyone since. What was he supposed to speak to people about anyways.
It was still processing in his mind. Ness was dead, as in never ever coming back. The question still lingered in his mind. 'Why did he do it?' What could've pushed him to do such an action?
Two weeks, and it was if everyone was back to normal. Everyone apart from Micheal Kaiser. It was another day at practice. The U-20 World Cup was here. Another failed shot, the ball hitting the rim of the net. "Blöder ball." Kaiser spat, brows furrowed. He could hear the rest of his teammates cursing him out aswell.
He would too, it was his second missed shot, nothing like him at all. It was all Ness' fault. If it wasn't for that idiots death, Kaiser would still he that great emperor. But then again, why was he letting Ness affect him? He's gone. He's been gone for 3 weeks now.
He needed to suck it up, get back on his own feet. His teammates sure had. Why couldn't he? He hated the feeling. The stupid feeling of not being better than everyone else. The feeling of not having someone to pull and push around. Ness.
Kaiser sat alone in his room. A shit ton load of empty, crumpled coke cans surrounding him. They weren't healthy and he knew that. But he didn't really care anymore, he hadn't been eating properly either, making it visible he's thinner by a lot he definitely shouldn't have been acting like this knowing he had an upcoming match. But, God, this feeling was eating him up.
Guilt? Remorse? He didn't know what it was despite all his physcology knowledge. Was this why he was under-performing? Has Ness' passing away really hurt him? But why?! What more did he have? Who was he supposed to talk to?
It would ruin his image of being some amazing player, a strong person who needed no one. And he didn't, right? He was God's chosen emperor. Emperors don't need anyone. All they need is a kingdom to rule over. The pitch was Kaiser's kingdom yet after Ness' death it felt as if his kingdom collapsed. As if Ness had stolen it from him.
Match day. Germany against Costa Rica. Noa had spoken privately to Kaiser about his performance. Telling him to 'get himself together', and Kaiser had no other choice but to agree on like a toddler being scolded.
So the match went on in favour of Germany during that first half with Kaiser successfully scoring a goal. The stadium roared but his own official last words to Ness ringed in his mind. 'That. Those words...' It finally dawned on him.
Kaiser was the reason Ness had killed himself.
His breath hitched as he stumbled over from his teammates congratulating him. Kaiser simply shook his head before pulling off his signature goal celebration.
Happiness isn't forever, though. The second half was chaotic. Majority of them forty-five minutes, Kaiser heard himself being cussed out. Two shots missed. Two shots scored from Costa Rica. They were losing and it was Kaiser's fault. He just couldnt get out of his head. Ness' face, how he was always soft-spoken with him, his smile, all those images flooded his head.
End of the match. Germany lost. All the blame on the supposed 'Emperor'. The media was all over him. News articles already published, reporters suspecting Kaiser's terrible performance was to do with the former BM member, Alexis Ness.
They weren't wrong, no. Not at all.
That same night Kaiser was in his room again. Angry at himself, at his team, at the media, at Ness. His hands wrapped around his throat, squeezing so, so hard. A harsh, squealed cough left him, but he didn't stop. He didn't stop till his head spun and he cluttered to the floor. His nails dug into his own skin, into that blue rose tattooed onto his neck. The last thing he saw was his own filthy reflection in the mirror.
Two days, Kaiser hadn't come to practise. No one suspected anything, thinking he was just sulking over their loss. Noa sent one of the members to his accommodation in the Bastard München training hold.
The door creaked open. "Yo, Noa said to stop sulk-" Kaiser lay on the floor, skin pale. His teammate's eyes widened as he immediately crouched beside Kaiser, feeling for a pulse. Nothing. His skin was ice cold to the touch. Scratches on his neck, drool stains down his chin.
Two days he had been dead. No one cared to check on him until now. Perhaps Ness would've. Perhaps Kaiser needed him after all.
