You're still staring at your phone two days later.
The notifications haven't stopped. Your Instagram follower count has tripled. People are making edits of you and Kaiser side-by-side. Someone made a TikTok comparing your cosplay accuracy to the original and it has thousands of views.
Emma thinks this is the funniest thing that's ever happened.
Emma: girl you're FAMOUS
Emma: "female kaiser" is still trending
Emma: this is insane
You: I KNOW
You: i still can't believe he actually posted it
Emma: and ness reposted it 👀
You: don't EVEN start
But then something happens that makes your brain short-circuit all over again.
You're scrolling through your notifications—trying to keep up with the comments, the tags, the shares—when you see it.
@;ness.alexis started following you.
You drop your phone.
It clatters on your desk and you just stare at it, heart hammering in your chest. You pick it up with shaking hands and check again, convinced you imagined it.
Nope. Still there. Alexis Ness is following you.
And then you notice something else.
He's been going through your account. Methodically. There are notifications going back hours—he's liked your recent posts, your older posts, posts from months ago. He's hearted your story highlights. He's saved some of your posts to favorites.
And every single one of your Kaiser cosplay posts? Liked AND saved.
You take a screenshot and immediately send it to Emma.
You: EMMA
You: EMMA LOOK
You: NESS IS STALKING MY ACCOUNT
Emma: SHUT UP
Emma: SHUT UP RIGHT NOW
Emma: HE LIKED EVERYTHING???
You: EVERYTHING
You: HE SAVED ALL THE KAISER ONES
You: WHAT DO I DO
Emma: okay okay calm down
Emma: this is good
Emma: this is VERY good
You: HOW IS THIS GOOD I'M HAVING A CRISIS
Emma: because now you have an IN
Emma: you know what you should do?
You: what
Emma: cosplay ness next time
You stare at your phone.
Then you scream into your pillow.
Because that's genius.
Weeks later, you're standing in front of your mirror, adjusting the magenta wig for the fifth time.
The Ness cosplay had come together faster than you expected. The wig had been easier to style than Kaiser's, no rattail to worry about, just that distinctive magenta color and the way it frames his face. You'd found his Bastard München jersey in the right size, and you'd spent an embarrassing amount of time studying photos to get the details right.
No tattoos this time, but you'd worked hard on the makeup. Foundation to even out your skin tone, a touch of contouring to match his face shape, and carefully applied blush on your cheeks to give that softer, cuter look. You'd even practiced some of his expressions in the mirror, that soft smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes when he's focused on Kaiser.
You take a photo and post it to your story with the caption: "Guess who's going to the match today 💜"
Your phone buzzes almost immediately.
It's Ness. He's replied to your story.
@;ness.alexis: no way
@;ness.alexis: you're cosplaying me??
Your heart is in your throat as you type back.
You: surprise!!
@;ness.alexis: that's
@;ness.alexis: wow
@;ness.alexis: the wig looks really good
You: THANK YOU
You: i wasn't sure if i got the color right
@;ness.alexis: it's perfect
There's a pause, then another message.
@;ness.alexis: are you actually coming to the match?
You: yes!!
@;ness.alexis: that's really cool
@;ness.alexis: maybe we'll see you there
You screenshot the entire conversation and send it to Emma, who responds with approximately fifteen exclamation points and the words "MARRY BOTH OF THEM."
The Allianz Arena feels different this time.
Maybe it's because you know what to expect. Maybe it's because you're dressed as Ness instead of Kaiser, the magenta wig drawing just as much attention as the blonde one did. Maybe it's because you're actively hoping to run into them instead of it being a complete accident.
People recognize you immediately.
"Oh my god, it's Female Kaiser!"
"Wait, no she's Ness this time!"
"Can we get a picture?!!"
Emma stands off to the side, filming some of the interactions on her phone and grinning like a proud mom. You pose with group after group, people gushing about the costume, about how they didn't expect you to do Ness, about how excited they are to see what you'll do next.
But after about fifteen minutes, you're getting antsy. You keep scanning the area, wondering if they're here somewhere, if you should go looking-
You catch Emma's eye and she immediately understands. She makes a shooing motion with her hands.
"Do it," she mouths.
You grin and excuse yourself from the current group of fans. "I need to head to my seat soon, but thank you guys so much for the photos!"
You make your way over to Emma, who's practically bouncing. "Go find your boys," she says. "And text me EVERYTHING."
"I will!"
Your heart is hammering as you navigate through the crowd, heading toward the area where you'd run into them last time. It's a long shot—lightning doesn't strike twice, right?—but you have to try. You remember Ness's message, the way he said maybe they'd see you there, and something in your gut tells you to check.
The corridor is quieter here, away from the main flow of foot traffic. You're looking around, trying to remember exactly where you'd been standing when-
"Looking for someone?"
You spin around so fast you almost trip over your own feet.
Kaiser is standing there, arms crossed, that signature arrogant expression on his face. And next to him, Alexis Ness, whose eyes go wide the moment he sees you.
"OMIGOSHHH!!" The sound escapes you before you can stop it. "You're really here! Were you two searching for me?!"
Ness's face immediately flushes pink, his mouth opening and closing like he can't quite figure out what to say.
Kaiser sighs, looking vaguely annoyed as he glances at Ness. "I was forced to come. He was searching for you."
"Kaiser—" Ness starts, but his protest is weak.
You can barely contain your excitement, practically bouncing on your feet. "Awwww reallyyy? You were really looking for me?! That's so- I'm so happy right now!"
Ness is staring at you, taking in the magenta wig, the costume, the blush on your cheeks, and he looks completely overwhelmed. "You're..." he manages. "You're... really dressed as me."
"I am!" You do a little spin. "Do you like it? Is it accurate?"
Ness opens his mouth, closes it, then nods. "It's... really accurate. The wig, the uniform..." His voice is softer now. "The makeup. It all looks really good. Cute, I guess."
Before you can stop yourself, you're walking up to him, closing the distance with pure enthusiasm. "I'm so glad you think so! The wig was SO hard to style I spent like three hours on it! I kept worrying it wouldn't look right, and you probably don't even spend that much time on your actual hair but I was busting my ass trying to get it perfect!"
You're laughing now, and Ness can't help but smile, some of that tension easing from his shoulders.
"It's accurate enough," he says, and there's warmth in his voice. "Really. You did a great job."
"Your hair is so cool though!" you gush. "Like, it's not even dyed? This is your natural color? It's so pretty! I was thinking maybe I should just style my actual hair like this instead of wearing a wig—"
Without thinking, you reach up and your fingers thread through his actual hair. It's soft. Incredibly soft and fluffy, and you can't help but play with it a little, marveling at the texture.
"It's so fluffy!" you say, delighted.
Ness has gone completely still. His face is getting redder by the second, and he's just standing there, frozen, as your fingers gently tug at his hair, styling it slightly, testing how it moves.
"Do you think I could pull off this color?" you're asking, still playing with his hair, completely oblivious to the way he's stopped breathing. "I mean, I'd have to bleach it first, and then tone it, but—"
You finally look at his face and pause. His cheeks are flushed a deep pink, his eyes slightly wide, and he looks completely flustered.
You grin. "Oh! Now we really match! Look, you're blushing just like the makeup I did!"
Kaiser, who's been watching this entire exchange with barely concealed amusement, actually laughs. "Ness, you're blushing like a dumb school girl."
"Stop..." Ness mutters, but he doesn't move away from your touch.
"Can't handle someone playing with your hair?" Kaiser's smirk is vicious. "How pathetic."
"I'm really not..."
"She's dressed as you and your knees are buckling."
"Kaiser, I swear to god—"
You finally drop your hand, giggling at their dynamic. "Sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, I really can get ahead of myself sometimes—"
"You didn't," Ness says quickly, then seems to realize how eager that sounds and clears his throat. "I mean. It's fine. You're fine. I mean- don't worry about it."
Kaiser is still grinning like he's won something. "So, now that you've thoroughly flustered Ness, I assume you want photos again?" He turns to you, tilting his head.
Your face lights up. "Yes! Oh my god, yes—I was actually hoping we could do some really specific shots this time? I have references and everything..."
"References." Kaiser repeats, amused. "Show me."
You pull out your phone, showing him the photos you'd saved—action shots of Kaiser and Ness together, some of their dynamic on the field, that infamous moment where Kaiser shoves Ness's head down into a bow.
Kaiser's expression shifts into something dangerous. Something very pleased.
"Oh," he says slowly. "You want to recreate that."
"If you're okay with it! I know it's kind of intense but it's such an iconic moment—"
"I'm very okay with it," Kaiser says, and there's something sharp in his smile. He looks at Ness. "You good with this?"
Ness, still slightly flushed, nods. "Yeah. Let's do it."
"Perfect." Kaiser's already moving, positioning himself. "Turn around."
You turn, facing away from him, and suddenly you're very aware of how tall he is compared to you. How much space he takes up. You can feel him behind you, close enough that you're hyperaware of his presence.
There's a moment of silence, and then you feel it—his gaze. Heavy and intense, boring into your back like a physical weight. It makes a shiver run down your spine, and you fight the urge to turn around and look at him.
"Nervous?" His voice is low, amused.
"A little," you admit.
"Good."
And then his hand is in your hair—in the wig—and his grip is firm, almost rough. Before you can process what's happening, he's shoving you forward and down, forcing you into a deep bow, the same way he does to Ness.
His hand is so big, completely engulfing the back of your head, controlling the motion with ease. Your heart drops straight to your stomach in the best possible way.
"That's no good, Ness."
His voice is different now. That same tone he uses on the field, commanding and sharp and absolutely in control. It makes something in your chest tighten, your breath catching.
Ness is standing off to the side, and he looks like his brain is trying to process something it can't quite handle. His face is flushed, his eyes fixed on the scene in front of him—Kaiser pulling your hair, you dressed as him, the whole thing—
"This is the weirdest thing I've ever experienced," Ness says faintly.
"Good." Kaiser's smirk is vicious now. He tugs your hair again, gentler this time, and you can't help the small noise you make.
"Got the photo?" Kaiser asks, and you realize Ness has been taking pictures the entire time.
"...Yeah," Ness says, and his voice sounds slightly strained. "Got it."
Kaiser releases you, and you straighten up slowly, trying to catch your breath. Your hands are shaking slightly as you turn to look at him.
"Oh my god," you breathe out. "This feels so good—Ness, I'm so jealous!"
Kaiser's smirk is absolutely wicked. "Good to know."
Ness, who's been watching the whole thing with a complicated expression, just nods. "Yeah. It's... intense."
"Intense doesn't even cover it!" You're fanning your face. "I think I need a minute to recover from that."
"You asked for it," Kaiser points out, looking far too pleased with himself.
"I know! And it was worth it! But also—wow—okay—" You're still trying to catch your breath, turning to Ness. "Can I see the photos?"
"Yeah," Ness says, his voice strained. "Here."
They're perfect. The angle captures everything, Kaiser's hand in your hair, the way he's forced you into that bow, the clear power dynamic. Your face is partially hidden but you can see the flush on your cheeks, the way you're completely at his mercy in that moment.
"These are so good," you mumble. "Please can you send these to me?"
"Already did," Ness says.
You're checking the photos on your phone, still blushing, when you suddenly gasp. "Oh! Can I get a selfie with you guys? Like, just regular selfies?"
Ness blinks, surprised. "You want—"
"Yes!" You're already moving closer to him, holding up your phone. "Please?"
Ness looks completely caught off guard, but he nods. "Yeah. Okay."
"You're the best, Ness!!!" You practically bounce with excitement as you stand next to him, holding your phone up for the selfie angle. "Smile!"
Ness manages a soft smile, and you beam at the camera, snapping a few photos. When you check them, your heart does a little flip—you in the Ness cosplay, standing next to the actual Ness, both of you smiling. So cute.
"So cute!" you say, showing him. "Thank you!"
Then you turn to Kaiser, who's been watching with an amused expression. "Your turn!"
Kaiser raises an eyebrow. "You want a selfie with me too?"
"Obviously!" You're already moving over to him. "Please?"
He doesn't protest, just stands there as you position yourself next to him. You hold up the phone, grinning widely while Kaiser maintains his signature arrogant expression—though you swear there's a hint of amusement in his eyes.
You take several photos, checking them with satisfaction. "These are amazing! Thank you...!"
"You should dress as Kaiser next time."
Both you and Kaiser turn to stare at him.
"What?" Kaiser says.
Ness is looking at you with an intensity that makes your heart skip. "Next time you come to a match. Dress as Kaiser again." He pauses, then adds quieter: "I liked that one better."
There's something in the way he says it that makes the air feel heavier. You glance at Kaiser, who's watching Ness with an unreadable expression.
"I—" you start. "I can do that."
"Good," Ness says simply.
You turn to Kaiser suddenly, remembering. "Oh! Thank you, by the way. For doing the whole—" you gesture vaguely at your hair, at the bowing position, "—that thing. I know it was kind of a weird request."
And then you get it. The way he's been looking at Ness, that smug expression—this whole thing was revenge. Payback for Ness being weird about you cosplaying Kaiser last time.
Your face heats up even more, but you can't help the slightly breathless laugh that escapes you. "Oh my god, you did that to get back at him, didn't you?"
Kaiser's smirk widens. "Maybe."
Ness is very quiet, his face still flushed, and he's avoiding looking directly at either of you. He seems to have no idea how to react, just standing there with his phone in hand.
You're grinning, riding the high of the whole interaction, when a thought pops into your head. "You know what? Maybe I should cosplay Yoichi Isagi next time! That one Japanese boy, from... er... Blue Lock?"
"Absolutely not," Kaiser and Ness say at the exact same time.
You blink, surprised by the synchronization. "Whaat? Why not?"
"Just no," Kaiser says firmly. "No."
"Don't," Ness adds, his voice unusually sharp.
You can't help but laugh at their identical reactions. "Okay, okay! Kaiser it is then!"
Kaiser checks the time. "We need to go. Warmups."
"Right—yeah—" You step back. "Thank you again! Good luck with the match!"
Kaiser nods, already turning to leave.
Ness lingers for just a moment, finally meeting your eyes. "Thank you. For the cosplay. Um, no one's ever done that for me before."
"Of course! You're amazing, Ness."
His smile is soft before he jogs after Kaiser.
That night, you post the photos.
The carousel includes the hair grab photo where Kaiser has you bowed, and a few others Ness took during that moment.
The caption reads: "Round 2: Ness edition 💜 Thank you @;kaiser.michael and @;ness.alexis for being the absolute best. (PS: Kaiser is terrifying in the best way possible.)"
The responses flood in immediately.
@;emma.alpha: THE HAIR GRAB PHOTO OMG OMGHELLO???
