    Summary

    “Yoichi…” he murmured, his voice just above a whisper. Kaiser tilted his head slightly, eyes darkening. “You really are a piece of work, aren’t you?” He heaved a sigh, but his expression of resolve lingered as he took Isagi’s hand to seal the agreement. “If you make this real, try not to fall in love with me.”

    The former didn’t flinch. “Oh trust me, never in a million years is that going to happen.”

    Summary

    He thought he was finally starting to get the picture. He was finally starting to see underneath that damn mask, behind those irritating words and actions, the real him. But he was wrong.

    So incredibly, painfully fucking wrong.

    Isagi isn't only skilled at reading the field—he's always had a knack for reading people too. At least, that's what he thought until he met the most insufferable soccer genius to have ever existed: Michael Kaiser. Kaiser, who's been harassing Isagi and getting in his way since day one; Kaiser, who beyond all doubt could've been nothing more than a simple, arrogant, self-centered asshole; Kaiser, who despite all of that, he can't stop thinking about for some goddamn reason—he can't stop his feelings of hatred, entangling with both awe and curiosity, and he can't stop the chain of events that he set off spiraling out of control, all leading up to a reality darker than anything he ever encountered before: the bitter truth behind the naked emperor.

    Update 31-05: Sorry guys, I'm simply terrible at estimating time correctly. Next chapter's ~80% done, but will still need some time. Thanks for your patience.
