In the bustling Haneda Airport, exactly one and half an hour before plane to German arrive. Kaiser is in clinical boredom. Leg rushed searching for snack. A quick stroll doesn't hurt. His head preached any distraction to numbs any bubbling turnmoil.
Fuck Blue Lock
A dethroned emperor becoming a spectacular news among commoner spectator. Everyone cheer the winner and the loser take their own demise. The ace doesn't spare a single glance ever since their ultimate lost. That fucking clown, Isagi Yoichi, he will rip off his hair when they meet again soon on future match. He pledged to show a devastating comeback when it is a blasphemy to over top him.
On his peripheral, there is Alexis catching upon him like a guard dog. Fawning over Kaiser like the whole fiasco was noting but a mere wind. He has none business with him anymore. Thought, the invicible colar is choking his common sense with the trail of chain led him to Kaiser hand. Kaiser bites his inside very in god awful mood. he knows Ness begins in the act of servitude for his prowness and recognition. Now he doesn't care of their prolonged partnership go.
"Kaiser, wait!" The aformentioned man side eyed the chasing midfielder as his steps doesn't falter to reach for him among crowds. His voice echoed clear in foreign words among the local sea.
"You forgot your wallet." His steps come to halt, his jaw clenching further. The last thing he want is someone to buzzing over him, even if it is Alexis Ness.
"I'm going to the toilet and the last thing I see is your pathetic face." A venom spat out a bit strained than usual. Kaiser does not spare a knack, deemed Alexis know his cue.
"I'm sorry. This one assuming the wrong." He falters after second blinks. Kaiser nonexistence apetite had long gone as he walked into the restroom.
A mirror reflected his silouette. Water droplets running from chin. The cold is nice, the same thing a pair of cerulean eyes bore at the shadow. His side profile is nice, his body is athletic, he has a knack for model especially after experiences on modeling sponshorship. His smile doesn't reach the eyes even if he's a good actor on stage. What a nonesense. He left out an empty laugh. What is Michael Kaiser without any pride in soccer. He cannot go back, not when he's not yet done hiking to the top of the world. His left tugs into his bang. The visible crown weighted on his palm, this is when reality pricked him like a rose thorns. Fuck everything. Fuck his hardwork. His head ached at thousand possibilities flooding and nothing could change the result trajectory.
He cranes his neck, calloused palm tracing vibrant blue roses. He closed his eyes strived to never be his past self ever again. He made himself a fool. An awful nostalgia threaten to resurface into a clear image. The scrawny younger version of Michael whose let the world beat the crap out of him. The blues met, there's no leftover shadow of his little self. He made the impossible is possible. He is Michael Kaiser, the striker, and his love for soccer never falter.
Kaiser came out feel a tad refreshed. Screw the depression, the emperor will fight for its right to begin with. He took a deep breath then let out a breath he didn't know was holding on. His gaze stop at the nearby spending machine at the corridor. He searched up a tid bit of yen on his pockets. His eyes widen when finger touches a cold metal, a 100 yen.
Michael leans into the seat nearby. Back resting while sipping the black tea as the victory of the day. His mind continue to focus at another strategies after back in German. The striker isn't exactly in the loose end yet. He melts his mind body into relaxation, sure Kaiser never once forget about soccer. He still has enemies to crush, ego to fullfill, then reclaim what is his. His hardwork will be payed off for sure. The impossible is possible. He chanted it for himself like a mantra.
As minutes pass by, he wonders what time it is, Alexis, that idiot might run over him at second in concern. A smell of umami come from his left side and an arm length stand the smiley servant. Speak of the devil. He brings a tasty offer.
"I heard this is a popular Japanese snack called Takoyaki. Try it for yourself, Kaiser." He pulls a fond smile. Action sharp as ever. He knows many reasons of why Ness looking out for him.
"Sit down, Ness." He quickly position himself then cooled down a ball of takoyaki. He offered to Kaiser in natural ease, the striker chomps without sparing a single thought. He puffed out a hot smoke and damn that shit is super delicious. He eats second and thrice.
His eyes landed into the magenta pool. Kaiser can sense a whole spring season radiate on his companion. Alexis never hide his interest upon him, even more so in soccer. How excessive he behave to defend his rights and wrongs is exceptional, until he forcefully shutting his servant out because the other make laughabily zero logical statement, especially toward Yoichi, that was an exception. If his hold on leash is not tight enough, what will his faithful dog feat to earn a spot near his beloved? Everyone has flaws. Some people tend to easily lose their savvy toward certain button. Kaiser non other while Ness is zany.
"Alexis, eat." He said between chewing and Ness has the gal to be flabergasted.
"I'm full. I bought this for you, Ka—" Y'know what, Michael can not stand it anymore.
"Shut up." He immediately said after swallowing.
"..." Ness complies yet not let his action feeding Kaiser come to end.
Kaiser decided to snatch the toothpick instead. He opens his mouth like a caretaker tells the toodler to take the food. The midfielder blink owlishly, analyzing any miniscule discomfort before Ness let himself submit to be fed.
True to be told the takoyaki is very tasty even ten times better right now. Kaiser pulls a shit eating grin at the wagging puppy. Ness admits he is on a cloud nine and if Kaiser means he must starve for the day, he could be doing so gladly.
"Thank you." Said Ness. There is a smeared sauce on his exemplary servant. Kaiser's palm is open as a sign of handkerchief. Ness never miss this simple gesture as expected. He snatched it to clean the other's mouth.
"I never allowed any voice out your mouth, Alexis." He admonish. Are they even for the day?
"!" His mouth shut tight then nod. Kaiser let himself being content, this is neither punishment or reward. Ness seemed to notice that then his shoulder melt.
They exchanging food in silence. Alexis throw the container out, then a black tea is offered on his chest, Kaiser's. Though, he bring a whole wallet he let himself better not defying Kaiser's order as his mouth easily took a light sip. Refreshing with a hint of Kaiser's blueberry scented lip balm. Kaiser hand rummaging his available pockets. Ness bring out the thing he has been searching for instead.
"Your—" Oh right, his voice come to halt when cerulean eyes glares at him. Michael takes his forgotten wallet even his phone back. A rare tragedy to forgot such detail. He recollects both were on his coat which annoyingly throw off when entering the airport. Ness whose behind him took the offered coat while Kaiser didn't say any words. He tried to reprimand alas remembers how distressed Kaiser is for the whole day, even hardly care for any act of actions.
Kaiser hums in gratitude and pocketing his belongings. It is more than enough, Kaiser is not that arrogant to never say thank you. Ness sits next to him while offering the last black tea back, yet the other didn't budge. Like his precense is minor to nonexistence thorough seconds ago. Ness wishes to break the barrier between them. His palm sweating, oh no, he will asked his handerchief back.
Kaiser what are you thinking about?
"Stop whatever you're doing." The man curtly stated. Or even demanded. In halt from his stupor.
"??" The midfielder startles. What wrongs he did? Is letting his foul mouth touches Kaiser's drink is a blasphemy? If so, he almost stand up to replace his drink when an arm blocking his middle.
Kaiser already took his black tea, emptying out the remnant in a breath. His too blue icy eyes bore into Ness soul as he struggle not to squirm in seat. Why Kaiser. His magenta tries to discern every miniscule movement the man slips yet the years practiced stoicness falter him great ability to see any person spark.
"You, what do you want from me?" Ness blinks maybe his ears failing him. Is he questioning his whole servitude? Kaiser begin to continue.
"You're a smart one, Ness. No one in this world want nothing in return. Loyalty has a price on its own too." Before Ness has the chance to say, his collar being pulled. Breath hitched as he could feel a foreign breath on skin. His emperor looming over him, making his frame shrink in comparison.
His cerulean eyes glare hole into both dilating pupils, sharp as ice, precise like arrow, tearing him bare naked. Kaiser make a juridict upon Ness' adamant action beyond their shared agreement. The supposed unwitting servant shivers in such intensity given.
"I need to put on warning the day you dare try to barks thing I never asked for, Alexis Ness." Their partnership was only a contract made for professional life. Kaiser's existence to bring the world recognition upon him and his followers, while Ness' act of compliance as infamous midfielder. It was years ago, the contract has become a natural air to breath. Now its suffocating one of them. Ness has the right to be free from this act. Or, maybe. Ness' adoration, no, Alexis' love is hard to bear.
His adam appel wobble as Kaiser gaze will execute a god if an answer was not given immediately. Cold sweat ticking from his neck. He opens his mouth then remember that Kaiser doesn't allow him to talk. He bites his inner lips in frustation. Ness choose the right action when the intense glare subside a level.
"Make it quick." A testament given. His mouth goes dry. Ness closed his eyes a while before showing Michael about who Alexis truly is.
"I love you, Michael. I love you and you know that. I mean it in absolute truth and that is more than enough as an answer." His breath hitched as way hurtful tug penetrate his scalp, an arbitrate for his reason. Alexis bites his inside. Heartbeat beating thousand miles per hour and he doesn't mind being gulliotined as criminal in front of the public, right at the moment. Not yet. Like a dead man who has nothing to lose, his eyes bore back to engulf the blues. His little heart demands an answer too, not from the legendary ace striker, but Michael Kaiser.
"I do not tolerate empty answers." Ah, everything so overwhelming. Kaiser eyes are all on him yet he still saw nothing. So cruel yet so beautiful. He's hurting himself. Or both, he gulps then began to sadden.
At least, tell me what you truly feel, Michael.
"If you keen so, get out of my sight." At the same time, Alexis' heart ache million times at how trivial Kaiser takes his sincerity. The blue rose thorns prevent anyone in touch, even so, it's what arranged the flower as whole. He refuses to be in fault to be drawn into a timeless regal. Everyone is a liar if they're not. They're the blinded one. He pity those who don't feel any enlightenment.
"I-It was not," He is here, Alexis Ness always has been here. Please look back at me. Something in him snapped, he's tired of everything ever since their arrival to Blue Lock. Kaiser distanced himself then Ness quick to grasp back what is his.
"IT WAS NOT!!" He wrapped around his nape and pull him into a revengeful kiss. Fueled by vigor of madness, jealously, possessiveness, eagerness, obsession, joyful, everything that overwhelms his emotions for the past few years he couldn't have the courage to say. If it is the day he will be executioned for his unruly crime, be damned. The world, his world, should know that no one would ever replaced him at what everything he has done to his beloved. Satisfy his inner egoism to be Michael Kaiser's everything he ever needed. Alexis thinks their mouth mold perfectly as he supressed a moan. He stopped thinking for the future as Kaiser wasn't in rouge in such coruption upon his castel. Ness truly tries to be an exemplar servant yet Alexis get the better out off him.
"Is this still an empty answer?" Between gasping breath he asked in woefully determination. His beads wholeheartedly picture the way Michael heaving with blush spreading on his face like he saw after an annoyingly difficult match. His deep cerulean eyes awed at what just happened. Swiping his mouth clean from any trace.
Are you looking at me, just at me, Kaiser?
For a moment of silence, Michael Kaiser forgot how much of a sane person Alexis Ness is thorough their years. The magenta never make his love and care invicible for someone to discern. Michael never understood such thing as real love is. Everything is ridiculous. His emotions took a ridiculous turn too. Fuck everything except Alexis. Let the man die in thirst.
"I wanted to be with you." The magician takes his emperor hand then let his lip fell into a kiss of oath. Their hands interwined reassuring the lingering warmness. Alexis sculps his sweetest smile free from any malice contary to second before putting their enemies in execution. How funny. Kaiser snap at their touch to stand ahead. Free hand tossed the empty drink into the bin. Ness was lost from his fancy. His heart almost ache in defeat before a familiar voice is heard.
"Whatever." Kaiser mutters not taking a single glance. The man walked his way to their awaiting station. He is sick of everything yet somehow having a loyal idiot is fascinating on its own. Be damned if he ever asked to jump into the depth of hell. He knows a fact for sure, Ness will follow him. Even if it's due to love or without one. The man is chained into obsession which invisible chain led to his blue rose. The ace cannot stay a day in Japan and hopefully not in Germany too.
His nonchalantness barely heard by ears. But Alexis Ness is a dog, he smiles placidly and walked at the ace right hand. A place he had craved for himself. His eyes noticed the reddened ear still painting his beloved.
How cute.
Ness' going to reached out when he's halted with such beautiful blues.
"Don't dare crossing the line. Then, have your place next beside me." A servant know his last warning. His blues aflame. Alexis shiver after being showed a vigorous resolute no other than his emperor. Kaiser's trust he holds dear beside his heart. He's brimming too with excitement, where will Kaiser takes him this time?
"Yes, Sir."
In his eyes, Michael Kaiser never seems to dim. He made the right choice to submit his loyalty for such man. Magenta eyes saw the back of unwavered future. They vowed to crush their enemies and it doesn't end here yet.
