fem!reader x michael olise
where you can see how bad france’s loss affected michael.
a/n: this one’s kinda long lmao enjoy [v2]
world cup 2026 series: semifinal 1 v1 ~
── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
the door didn’t slam like you’d expected it to. you were expecting michael to be all angry about the loss. but he wasn’t. his entry was so quiet you could barely hear it over the hum of the air conditioning.
he just stood there for a moment before sliding his shoes off and walking into the room.
“hey,” you greet, looking up at him from where you sat on the bed.
“hey,” michael muttered back, not even sparing you a glance before he slips into the ensuite bathroom.
a painfully long period of silence — save for the faucet running, he must’ve been washing his face or something — passed. that’s fine, you told yourself, maybe he just didn’t feel like talking. that’s okay.
he re-entered the main room and sat on the edge of the bed, looking down at the floor. not at you, the carpeted hotel room floor. his feet shuffle a little before he speaks up.
“you eat?” he asks, gaze still stuck on the floor.
“michael.”
“they have room service here. i remember seeing a menu—“
“michael.”
you scooted closer to him. not so close that you’d touch, but close enough that you didn’t have to yell to talk to him.
“i texted you lots. and you replied back with an ‘ok’. an ‘ok’, michael.” you almost laughed.
“was busy.”
“doing nothing?”
“yeah,” he admits. now he was contradicting himself. nice one.
“that’s not an answer,” you replied, your legs going up onto the bed, your arms curling around them.
“what you want me to say? we lost. end of story.”
you wanted to sigh. sigh sooo loudly the room next door would hear. “i know we lost. i was there.”
michael glances at you for a moment before immediately fixing his gaze onto something else in the room. “yeah. nothing to say then. you saw it.”
“no, there’s lots to talk about, you just don’t want to.”
“tired.”
you knew he wasn’t a man of many words, at least for interviews or media or whatnot, but it was killing you. never ever did he give you such short and emotionless responses.
“no. you’re avoiding me.”
“i’m not— i’m not avoiding you. i just don’t feel like talking about it right now, is all.”
your feet fall back onto the ground as your posture relaxes slightly. “we don’t have to, then. i’ll just sit here.”
silence passes.
more silence.
and more silence.
before michael finally let out a shaky breath and closes his eyes. “they keep… chatting.”
they? they who? what? what you mean chatting?
“about yamal. and me. same shit every time. but they can do whatever they want, actually. they can compare.”
apparently not because you could tell this was really bothering him. he was so tense that if he tipped over he’d be stuck in the same position.
“that’s not what your body is saying,” you point out.
“can you stop—“ michael catches himself before he could say anything he’d regret. his palm went up to his face and he gave it a hard scrub before sighing again. “sorry. i don’t know what— what you want me to even say.”
“you don’t have to say anything. just stop putting up this facade of not being hurt when i know you are. you’re upset, stop hiding it.”
“it’s my fault,” he groans, his head buried in both his hands now.
on one hand you wanted to hug him. on the other, you wanted to slap some sense into him. no, it wasn’t his fault. what?
“no it’s not. the whole team was off—“
“it doesn’t matter. ousmane— or lucas— whoever the hell being shit tonight doesn’t change the fact that i’m getting compared to yamal. doesn’t change the headlines.”
you let his words marinate a bit. they needed time.
“you have five assists throughout the campaign.”
“so?”
you shrug. “that’s pretty impressive for your first world cup. five.” you take michael’s hand — he flinches slightly, but lets you — before counting it on his fingers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
“i know it doesn’t change anything. this loss, or whatever. i know it won’t magically make you forget about the pain of losing this game.”
“then why bother?”
“because it’s still the truth. you didn’t let the team down. even if you don’t want to accept it right now.”
he lets out another shaky sigh, his fingers lacing with yours before giving it a firm squeeze.
“i thought we’d win it. the whole thing.”
“so did i. so did everyone else.”
“feels stupid now. dunno why i’d actually believe that.”
“it’s not,” you whisper, your thumb grazing his knuckles as he held you tight.
“mm… whatever. let’s stop talking about it for tonight.”
was michael fully okay now? obviously not. but you weren’t expecting him to be. if he recovered from that loss in just one night you’d be a little concerned. but he was definitely more… relaxed now. like you lifted most of the weight off his shoulders.
“just… stay awake with me a little longer. lie beside me,” he admits softly.
“i’ll be here as long as you need me.”

Shouichi Tsugami (Kamen Rider Agito)
YAMI
Reason for amnesia: Sealed himself and an evil god away in an ancient item, using his own name as a passcode and erasing his memories/erasing the name from history / Being trapped in the Millenium Puzzle for 5000 years
Do they get their memory back?: Not sure, he learned his true name and regained most of his memory by reliving it / Yes

SHOUICHI
Reason for amnesia: Accident that led him to washing up on a shore. The details of said accident are a major spoiler.

“Fun” facts: Shouichi has complicated feelings around knowing who he once was, and tries to be positive but he is scared of knowing. He likes to cook, garden, do magic tricks, ride his motorbike, clean, and generally does a lot of housework. Not very good at math, but he's very strong and tries to be there for the people he cares about.
Semi-Final — Match 2 of 2
Vivienne
“Just so everyone knows Vivienne once bench pressed me one-handed while applying her eyeliner with the other hand and it came out even. And I also came out right after.”
"Vivienne is one of the few people who ask you how you are doing afte the haven attack and approves if you go your way to save everyone. She managed to get power as a mage in the south playing the game starting with nothing, and turned a position of court mage jester into something of actual political influence. She also tells you ice titties were in fashion in orlais one time. And she has a magic sword and one of the best outfits."
vs. Isabela
“Because she is literally the best. But other then that. The only character to be present in ALL Dragon Age games (DAI only in multiplayer but still)- in two of which you can have threesome with her and Zevran. She is funny, smart and hot and she supports other women. She cares so so much but pretends that she doesn't. She casually hangs out with pretty much all the most important people in Thedas. And she is a bisexual pirate queen.”
"oh boy do I love a character that has to learn to trust people around them. I love the uncaring facade that hides that she actually cares a lot. I love how it takes her ages to get comfortable and get actually close to you but if you put trust in her she comes back..amplified tenfold for the romance!! good shit!! (dai when I get to you 🔨🔨🔨)"
Who should advance?
Vivienne
