Isagi hasn't really cared about the opinions of BLTV viewers since the beginning. Really, he came to bluelock to become a striker, the best in the world, and he had no interest in any type of fame until he reached that goal.
… However, it’d be a lie to say he wasn't at least a little curious on what people's opinions were on him. He was curious what people thought of his plays, his evolution; did anyone see new routes for him to improve that even he couldn't visualize? With all eyes on him he can’t help but feel a certain curiosity fester under his skin each day, and he finally gives into his impulses.
He knows he probably shouldn't look through the comments on BLTV videos, he already knew that the fame and fire got to the heads of many people (some of those people already within bluelock…) but his eyes are glued on his screen as he searches up BLTV: CLIPS! into the search bar.
The first few videos that pop up are different goals and matches, the most recent being the match between Bastard and PXG. Isagi has to admit, that match even left him reeling by the end. To beat the absolute genius which was the chemical reaction between Rin and Shidou, Isagi was backed up into a tight corner of finally giving into Kaiser’s wishes to actually work together rather than fight amongst one another.
He hates to admit it, but he and Kaiser worked insanely well together when they both chipped a bit of their egos off to accommodate the other. They were reflections of each other after all, and it makes Isagi’s skin crawl at just how natural it felt to create a duo with him.
Maybe if Kaiser was a little less insufferable then they could continue to play side by side rather than fight for position of the lead. Sadly, Isagi doesn't think he has much of a choice considering how much more there is to come for their team within BlueLock.
He sighs to himself as he clicks on the clip, the comments popping up at the side. He relives the match through the screen, but his eyes trail to the comments once he and Kaiser are on screen.
> are they finally teaming up? About time! Should've known they’d come together eventually..
> lol, seems the amazing itoshi rin brings even the worlds best to the level of commoners
> hey don't leave shidou outta this! He was helpful too!!
> lmao it's crazy to think these two were fighting so much and now are suddenly working together
> right??? I bet them just interacting without fighting for 2 seconds is gonna make this blow up
> lolll bringing in the bank
> imagine it gets more views than the Kaiser bath scene
> NO WAY IT WILL
> IT MIGHT LMAOOO
Kaiser bath scene?
Isagi’s interest piqued at that, and he’s already clicking off the video and going the search embarrassingly fast to find the scene. It doesn't take long to find, and he faintly recollects what had happened, Kaiser’s whole spiel on them being ‘shitty commoners’. He ignores the anger which resurfaces at that, and he onstead skims the comments,
> wow he’s such a jerk, can’t he show any respect to the blue lockers…?
> who cares if he’s nice or not look at him bro is drop dead gorgeous
> whys he built like a ken doll
> LMFAO WHY ARE YOU RIGHT
> his personality is such shit… but i have to admit he’s hot
> right? He’s so attractive.. I’d do anything for one chance
> I cant believe we’re getting shirtless Kaiser unwarranted he really wants me dead
> i know right fuck he’s my dream guy
> who are you, ness???
> STOP THIS I AM NOTTTTT
Isagi tears his eyes away, and he faintly feels jealousy churn in his gut. Jealous of what though? He isn't jealous of Kaiser's popularity that's for sure, he knows Kaiser is a world known player and his popularity is a given. He isn't jealous of the scene being popular, he had his own scenes too.
He clicks his tongue in dissatisfaction, jealousy only bubbling underneath his skin as he thinks back to those comments. He closes his eyes for a moment, thinking why he’s feeling jealous about Kaiser of all people.
“Now, what do we have here?” Isagi’s strung out of his thoughts as a familiar voice sounds from behind him, and two arms wrap around his shoulder, the strangers chin resting in his head. Isagi rolls his eyes with a sigh,
“Kaiser…”
“Don't be so cruel, I told you to call me Michael now” he sing songs, and Isagi can already envision the grin on his face.
“Oh? Are you watching clips of me? I’m flattered” Kaiser teases, eyes landing on phone in Isagi’s hands. A warm hue spreads across isagi’s cheeks, lousy excuses of why he’s watching a video of Kaiser shirtless spilling out of his mouth.
“Listen it’s not what you… think. I just wanted to see the comments, that’s all!” He says defensively, and Kaiser raises a brow.
“What’s so special about the comments? Did you just wanna see how much people love me?” His grin is the same smug smile he has after scoring a goal, and Isagi scowls. His previous irritation returns, mood dampening at the simple thought of the comments from earlier.
Kaiser grins at the obvious mood shift, “Is someone jealous?” He sounds unreasonably happy with such an assumption, and Isagi’s scowl deepens,
“I don’t give a shit what random people on the internet think about you or your body”
“So you admit you were looking at comments on my body” Kaiser laughs as Isagi groans,
“What else were they supposed to comment on? Your shit personality?”
“Yes, considering I’m such an asshole Yoichi”
Kaiser is impossible to win against, and Isagi wants to punch him. He doesn't even bother replying as Kaiser snickers, crossing his arms in disdain. There's a few beats of silence between them, and Kaiser’s the first to break it,
“In seriousness though, you know I’m yours, right?” His voice holds the same mirth as before, yet there's an unspoken gentleness to it. Isagi ignores the heat which mixes with the jealousy in his gut,
“Shut the fuck up. I dont give a shit what those people think” he barks like a hasty toddler, and Kaiser’s laugh is music to Isagi’s ears.
“You’re a horrible liar,” he says through laughs, and Isagi groans in annoyance. His smile doesn’t leave his face as he tilts Isagi’s face towards him, “that’s one of the many reasons you made me fall for you”
Isagi can’t retort before Kaiser presses his lips to Isagi’s, gentle, loving and genuine. Isagi’s stiff for a moment before he melts into the touch, bringing his arm to Kaiser’s shoulder, before snaking his hands behind his neck to pull him closer. He can feel Kaiser’s lips quirk into a smile, and he ignores the smile which tugs at his own mouth.
They’re breathless when they’re done, and there’s a flush against both their faces. Kaiser’s smile grows wider as he presses a kiss to Isagi’s cheek, “I’m all yours Yoichi, body included”
Kaiser’s laugh is contagious when Isagi hits his shoulder. Isagi’s own laughs follow, and the two are sure if someone were to walk in they’d think the two of them were crazy.
Their laughs die down into a comfortable silence, and they look at eachother with idiotic grins on their face,
“You look like you want to kiss me again” Kaiser exclaims smugly, and Isagi rolls his eyes,
“Because I do”
“Then…” Kaiser steps closer, lifting himself into Isagi’s lap, a teasing grin on his face, “… kiss me?”
Isagi doesn’t need to be told twice, and his hand steadies itself on Kaiser’s waist as he pulls him down into another kiss. Kaiser sighs into the kiss, and he’s tightening his hold on the other man.
“… you’re mine” he mutters against Kaiser’s lips, and he swears Kaiser moans into his mouth,
He parts from the kiss for a moment, “You’re really hot when you’re possessive, have I ever told you that?” His kisses Isagi again before the other can even reply, swallowing the embarrassment of his words.
What started as innocent kissing becomes heated, and Isagi feels arousal fester under his skin as he pulls Kaiser closer to him. He wonders what those commenters would think of the fact that Kaiser is all his and no one else's.
He smiles stupidly at the thought. His His his…. Fuck, maybe Kaiser was onto something with the whole possessive thing.
“Oi! Love birds!”
Both men flinch when Ego’s voice echo through the speakers, constantly pushing themselves away from each other (well, as much as they could with Kaiser in Isagi’s lap anyway.)
“No no continue, this’ll be great for the BLTV ratings…” a sinister smile stretches across Ego’s face, and both mens faces pale,
“Ego please don’t..!”
“Don’t you fucking dare foureyes!”
Ego’s grin doesn't leave as the screen turns black once more, and both men are left breathless and anxious. Isagi’s hand is still on Kaiser’s waist, and Kaiser finally turns away from the screen to look at him again, scowl turning into a challenging grin,
“Well, since he’s gonna reveal us anyway, we might as well go the whole way?”
“Kaiser-!”
