~~~
Kaiser repeatedly kicked the football against the solid wall with no exhaustion, the rhythmic movements bouncing with each kick. “Hey..Yoichi.”
“Hm?”
“Were you actually jealous earlier? You were, right??” Kaiser looked smug, pressing his foot down on the ball to keep it under his weight once it landed on the floor again.
Isagi however, went stumbling over his own ball he had in his possession that he was previously trying to kick to match Kaiser’s speed in his burst of surprise, falling right to the floor and hitting his chin against Kaiser’s floorboards.
“Ouch! You f*cker, I wasn’t!” He huffed in soreness, rubbing at his bloody chin that will later scab up, no doubt.
Kaiser smirked at him delightfully, “Aw, really..it’s not nice to lie.”
“Are you not gonna help me up? You sh*tty boyfriend.”
“Ah, boyfriend. Such a nice ring to it,” Kaiser sounded evil, and Isagi knew a but was coming. “But you can get up yourself.” Called it.
“No, you know what, I’m staying down here. I hope I get in your way and ruin your dumb footwork practise.” Isagi grumbled, not giving up to Kaiser’s whims and instead turning to lie flat on his back, the pain not completely gone but manageable.
“You could never get in my way.”
“You literally said yesterday in the practise match that I was in your way.”
Kaiser scoffed, “That’s not true-“ Isagi angled his head to stare right into Kaiser’s eyes.
“Okay, so maybe I said you were in my way. Did I stutter?”
“Yes! You hesitated and tried to lie. Lying isn’t nice, you know?” Isagi gave the best puppy eyes he could muster up but he knew he probably looked scathing and mean instead of ‘doe-eyed.’
“Did you just quote me?” Kaiser grinned down at Isagi, but still managed to keep his head high with just his words. “I know I’m like a celebrity, but quoting me..wow. You must really be a huge fan, huh?”
“Eat sh*t.”
Kaiser grudgingly sat down on the floor besides Isagi with a slight look of distain, “You’re too cruel to me Yoichi…” He fake sobbed.
“Grow up.”
“Say something nice, please?”
“Die.”
“Ahh Yoichi my heart can’t take this.”
Isagi huffed, rolling over to position his head on Kaiser’s lap securely.
“Whatever.”
Kaiser smiled to himself, though it was a hidden smile that Isagi couldn’t see with his face buried.
“It’s okay to be jealous.”
Isagi bit his leg.
Kaiser yelped, “Ow, what?!??”
“I wasn’t jealous! God you’re looking into it too much.”
“But it’s so fun to tease you,” Kaiser intertwined his fingers in Isagi’s dark, blue hair- that they desperately tried to fix a few nights ago after their long talk about their feelings.
“Do you get jealous?” Isagi asked curiously.
“Sometimes. Not about football or anything, before you say something dumb about how I’m terrible. Because I’m not!” Kaiser spoke fast without missing a beat, leaving no room for interruption by Isagi who was dying to make a jab about Kaiser being precisely what Kaiser guessed he’d say; terrible.
“So what?”
“You’re way too close with that bee boy! Why can’t you hug me so closely like that?!? Not fair.” Kaiser complained, his voice not wavering even though he was apparently jealous.
“What?!?? He’s my best friend, don’t be jealous.”
“Ness is my best friend, don’t be jealous.”
…
“Fine.”
Kaiser rolled his eyes, “Fine!”
…
Isagi sighed, leaning closer to Kaiser’s chest. “That was f*cking stupid.”
“Yeah,” Kaiser agreed with a chuckle.
“Am I too mean? I’m sorry.”
Kaiser tilted his head down so his arms could move along with his body and reach Isagi’s waist in a tight hug, pulling him up from his lap where he was comfortable and instead placing him sat on his legs instead, so technically still in his lap but not lying down. “No, you’re just right. It’s okay. I love it when you’re mean, it turns me on-“
Isagi smacked him across the head. “Ha. The almighty emperor admitting that? You must be a huge fan.”
“You little..”
Isagi giggled, full on giggled like a child which was out of the usual. “What??” He acted oblivious.
“Happy birthday Yoichi.”
Isagi rested his head on Kaiser’s shoulder, returning the warm hug. “Thank you asshole.”
“You-“
(And although it was Isagi’s birthday, Kaiser had gotten the best day instead.)
