Closing Time:

"We need new ideas, stat" Ego Jinpachi, one of the owners of Blue Lock restaurant, stated.

"New competition is swarming in, and if something around here doesn't change we will fall behind." Noel Noa, the other owner, added.

"So, that's why we, and the chefs, decided to change up the menu." 

"And what does that have to do with you servers and waiters? Your task is to taste and choose the new dishes that will end up on the menu"

That is why Isagi Yoichi sat at a table with the rest of his fellow waiters and servers one hour after his shift, waiting to taste food instead of catching up on his due assignments. He stretched and looked at the time: 8:30PM. If the chef hurried up a bit, he could finish one of his assignments and still get a good night's sleep.

Fortunately, his prayers were heard. Just five minutes after the clock hit 8:30, the chefs walked out of the kitchen carrying numerous amounts of fresh, hot food waiting to be eaten. Suddenly, Isagi's stomach started to rumble like it never had before. He'd forgotten to eat because he was so tired.

An outstretched tattooed hand placed a bowl right in front of him, and Isagi had to force himself to not start drooling at the sight of it. Which wasn't too hard, as the man who had just placed the dish before him, interrupted his thoughts and brought him back to reality.

"Yoichi. Please enjoy the dish I very specially made for you, I made it so that even you, plebeians, could appreciate it." The bane of Isagi Yoichi's existence, Michael Kaiser, spoke.

"Ugh, please don't start Michael. I just want to eat and go home." Isagi explained.

"But, don't forget to let me know how good it is, and maybe you'll finally admit your undying love for me. Once I blow your socks off."

"My socks will very much stay on my being, thank you very much."

"Yeah, whatever. Now hurry up and eat."

Isagi picked up his fork twirled it around the steaming spaghetti and took a bite. Immediately he was hit with a smoky essence, which was most likely cajun seasoning. But as you chewed, you could taste a hint of butter hiding behind the flavour, the more you chewed, the more secret flavours you uncovered. 

Isagi looked up, with his mouth full, to find Kaiser staring at him. Eyes full of anticipation. I better not inflate his ego too much Yoichi thought, shuddering at the idea of complimenting the chef in front of him.

"Hmmm, it's good but it's missing something.."

"Oh come on! You haven't even tried the shrimp, you're too biased."

"Fine. I'll try the shrimp, but it won't change my mind." Isagi stubbornly replied.

He picked up a piece of shrimp, and placed it into his mouth, doing so caused an aggressive hit of seasoning and spice to infiltrate his tastebuds. Isagi started coughing in response and tried reaching out for water. He looked at the man before his eyes with a pleading look, eyes glistening with tears dangerously on the verge of spilling. Kaiser's response was as unhelpful as always, his eyes brimmed with mirth before he handed a cup of fresh, cold water to Isagi, and cackled heartily as Isagi rushed to grab the glass.

"Ah, Yoichi there's never a boring day when you're around."

"You did that on purpose didn't you?"

"No actually, our very dear Shoei is to blame for that area, I told him not to overseason it."

"Whatever, the shrimp is good but tone down the flavours a bit."

"Noted, see I knew you like everything I make for you."

"Oh just shush, I regret everything I've said in the entirety of this conversation."

Michael just smiled in response and jotted down notes on the notepad Ego gave all the chefs, so they could compare the servers' answers and find a reasonable solution.

"Okay, I'm gonna get going. I still need to finish the assignment Ms. Anri gave us." Isagi said

"Do you need the notes? I have them."

"Actually? Yes please, I'm struggling without them."

"Loser. You should've mentioned that you needed help. I wouldn't mind tutoring you." Michael responded, tone full of sarcasm.

"You're annoying, if you're gonna just try to piss me off I'm leaving."

"Okay, okay sorry, let me walk you to your car at least."

Isagi just nodded and moved to leave, whilst Michael trailed behind him quietly. That's out of character for him. They walked in silence, shoulder to shoulder, hands almost grazing. Isagi turned his face to look at Michael, it was dark out, but his face was illuminated by the warm street lights. It made Isagi feel weird inside- almost fuzzy, however, he shook that feeling off his head. If he opened that page in his head it would never end.

He took this chance to admire the man next to him, Michaels's gold hair radiated light and the gold in his hair was decorated with icy blue frosted tips, in contrast with Isagi's midnight blue hair, he was so blue that it was almost black. Kaiser's eyes were painted with the same blue that was in his hair, yet it felt so much different with his eyes. They were dull, devoid of any emotion, but on the rare occasion where they shined, it felt as if the weight of the world fell off his entire soul.

"Pfft. Yoichi, enjoying the view?" He smirked and faced Isagi, eyes full of a code that Isagi himself couldn't decipher yet.

"Yeah, I'm admiring how Satan snuck onto earth with us humans." He retorted.

"Ah, well I understand that, they do say Lucifer was God's most beautiful creation, just like me. So pay no heed to what I just said."

"You really are a piece of work, you know that right?"

"Of course my dear Yoichi, I was placed onto this earth just to annoy you."

"At least we agree on something, anyways we're almost here you can go now."

"How cold Yoichi.. and here I thought you were finally warming up to me."

"Keep on dreaming Michael"

"Okay, maybe I will. Goodnight Yoichi."

Isagi was left dumbfounded, as he watched the figure before him fade off into the distance. This was the exact reason why he steered clear of Kaiser, he was baffling, he gave Isagi ambiguous comments and left him riddled. Some days he was hot, some days he was cold, Isagi could never figure him out, and if he didn’t want to because he knew if he tried, he'd be lulled into the pits and depths of the storm he's tried so desperately to escape.

He drove home in silence that night, he got ready for bed in silence, he did his assignment in silence, and as he stared at his ceiling puzzled, he was still in that same silence.

Michael Kaiser was an enigma, Isagi Yoichi would be a fool to indulge and try to understand him.

That night Isagi fell asleep thinking about Kaiser.

Chapter Text

Isagi walked into work the next day with high spirits, if he hadn't seen Kaiser at all today then maybe he could get this weird feeling away from his heart. Isagi clocked in and checked his schedule, then made his way to his friend.

"Hey there Kurona!"

"Hello Hello, Isagi."

"Today isn't too bad, we can relax thank God."

"Yes, today is slow, slow. Ego is mad, mad."

"Eurgh, thank you for telling me I need to avoid him and Kaiser at all costs today."

"Kaiser, huh why?"

"Do I ever need a reason to avoid Kaiser?" Isagi sighed.

"Maybe you should just bone him." Hiori, another waiter who was also his friend, added.

"When did you get-"

"I agree agree, Isagi go for it." Kurona cheered on

"Oh enough out of you two," Isagi rolled his eyes and started to walk away "I should've never become friends with you demons." He heard giggles from Kurona and Hiori, both of them not even trying to hide their mockery.

Closing Time:

"Gather around everyone!" Ego shouted, calling them to the front. Isagi walked with his head hung low, dreading to face his boss; all the staff were gathered around a table waiting for the rest to gather. Isagi placed himself right by Chigiri Hyouma.

"Dear God, I'm dreading this. I want to go home." Chigiri groaned out, grabbing his pink-red hair and tugging on it.

"Ugh, my God tell me about it. I wanna cry just thinking about it." Isagi complained.

"Psst, look at Shoei he looks constipated." Chigiri joked, with a tremble in his throat. Isagi turned his head and looked at the man in question, and let out a stifled laugh. The two turned and looked at each other, then promptly burst out into fits of laughter.

"Chigiri, Isagi. Do you have anything to share with the rest of us?" Noa said dryly. 

"Oh, err no sorry," Chigiri replied for the both of them.

"Okay, today we will be sharing the server's feedback from yesterday's dish," Ego stated, the air grew quiet. The chefs at Blue Lock were known to be quite passionate about their craft, and they did not accept or believe in criticism at all.

The servers and waiters glanced around at each other, preparing for the worst to happen. As Isagi scanned the room, he caught sight of Kaiser's eyes and quickly flicked his own away in a panic.

"Okay, the unanimous feedback was that: the shrimp was too salty and spicy, the spaghetti sauce itself lacked something, and some thought a stronger flavour of garlic and lemon would do the food some good." Ego informed the chefs, and you could see the smoke practically steaming off Barou's, the head chef, head. Isagi gulped and his throat went dry.

"Fuck, that last bit was me." A voice in the distance said, everyone looked up and faced the person behind the voice, Niko Ikki, a newly appointed server. He wore a weary smile brought a hand up to his hair and scratched awkwardly. "Oh, he's gonna get killed, killed.." Kurona whispered to no one in particular, but Chigiri and Isagi still found themselves nodding their head furiously in agreement.

Barou whipped his head around, “Alright, I don’t know who died and made you The King of Chefs,” Barou fumed, veins about to pop out of his skull. “If you’re so skilled why don’t you come on over to the kitchen and cook it yourself? No, actually why didn’t you become a Michelin star inspector?”

“Okay old man, your job is to cook food and if you can’t make a decent-tasting dish it’s your own problem, not mine,” Niko replied, tone feigning innocence. Isagi let out a squeak of terror for the poor boy, judging by Barou’s face he was in for hell.

“What did you just say to me? You little squirt, you don’t know the first thing about cooking. That’s why you only carry the food”

“Okay, I think that’s enough. He wasn’t the only one who spoke about the food, all of the other staff also did. Focus on someone else.” Aiku intercepted, shifting Barous negative energy to the rest.

“Yeah, if it makes you feel any better Isagi hated the shrimp the most. Get angry at him instead.” Kaiser added on, looking at Isagi with glee.

“What- no I didn-” Isagi scrambled before being interrupted.

“Isagi, do you have a problem with the way I make my shrimp?” Barou questioned, face dark, full of fury, Isagi almost hid in fear.

“No, No.. err never, your food is the best thing I’ve ever tasted.” 

“So why am I hearing that you told Kaiser otherwise?” 

“Yeah Yoichi, don’t lie to our Shoei now.”

“Kaiser! Shut up, Barou did you know Kaiser was the one who made fun of your cooking to me, and he said that he told you not to over-spice it but you didn’t listen?” Isagi argued, whilst incriminating Kaiser.

“What, no I didn’t. Don’t believe this fraud Shoei.”

“Kaiser. I am going to kill-”

“That’s, enough!” Noa Shouted, causing immediate silence from the whole restaurant. "Clearly everyone here is too immature to act like civilised beings, Barou not everyone is going to like your food, if they did you would be the new Gordon Ramsey."

"And Niko, show some respect. Barou is older than you and he has been working here for longer than you have."

"Kaiser and Isagi, just please both of you stay away from each other at all times. I'm tired of hearing complaints from everyone." Noa finished with an exasperated look on his face, he shoved his hands in his pockets and walked off, leaving everybody in Ego's care.

"I think it's safe to say we all just lost a bit of respect for Kaiser there.." Ego said

"Not like we had any in the first place" Isagi muttered 

"Hm? What was that Yoichi? Do you wanna finish your sentence?"

"Just shut up, you look like a Chihuahua." Isagi tutted and then walked off shaking his head and mumbling to himself. He grabbed his car keys and backpack, and then left the building; Isagi was about to enter his car, but his phone started vibrating. He pulled it out to see Chigiri messaging him.

chichi: Can you drop me off home today pleasee?

yoiyoi: Yeah sure, I'm in the parking lot waiting

chichi: Okok I'm coming rn!

Isagi smiled at the message then shoved his phone in his pocket, he tapped at his steering wheel waiting for his friend to come. He and Chigiri had been friends for just a little over a year, but their bond was strong, like no other. It was always Kurona, Hiori, Chigiri and Reo, a mutual friend from university that Isagi always leaned on. Especially Chigiri and Reo, they all met through the same class they took in the first year of university, Isagi and Chigiri immediately clicked, whilst it took Reo a month or two to warm up to him, and the three of them settled in a close and loving friendship.

The sound of the car door being shut made Isagi jolt upright, he turned to see a bunch of red hair and a sweet smile.

"So, that was interesting," Chigiri started, "What was?" Isagi hummed in response. "You and Kaiser, obviously? Who else would I be talking about?" Chigiri started at Isagi like he was the dumbest man in the universe. Isagi just rolled his eyes and felt a shiver run down his spine, whenever someone mentioned Kaiser around him he got uneasy. Kaiser was a taboo topic for him. 

He started the car and drove off, not even bothering to entertain Chigiri's question. "Listen, Yocchan if you keep ignoring this topic it's just gonna come back and bite you in the ass later on down the line," Chigiri warned.

"Well that's for future me to worry about, and quite frankly I couldn't care if it comes back to bite my ass."

"Suit yourself, sweetie, I'm just letting you know so you can't blame me in the future."

The rest of the car drive they chatted about all the theatrics that happened at work, listened to music and had fun.

"Thank you for taking me home Yocchan, I'll see you tomorrow at school!" Chigiri smiled and waved. Isagi drove home feeling warm, even if all that stuff happened with Kaiser and Barou it was still a good day. 

-

It was 10:25 AM, and Isagi had 5 minutes before his lecture started; he waited outside the door until the clock his 10:30 AM and pushed the door open to go inside. He picked a seat near the back and rested. The class was filled with chatter, the seat next to him was empty until he smelled a familiar scent and turned to see Kaiser.

"Oh dear God no." Isagi groans in horror, letting his head fall back on the chair and closing his eyes in horror, praying all the hatred has caused a hallucination of Kaiser rather than the real thing.

"Oh, I know how exciting it is to see me up close like this Yoichi! Trust me I'm the real deal, yes your dreams came true, I know I know you're probably thinking oh Michael, you're too perfect to be seen sitting next to me and my response to that is, Yoichi even the emperors are still kind enough to make their jester's dreams come true." Kaiser swooned and placed a tattooed hand atop his head in a flair of dramatics. 

"Please, even this is a new low for you." Isagi sighs and turns away from him.

"Whatever, it's not like anyone's rushing to sit next to you." Kaiser snorts and drops down in the seat.

To Isagi's surprise, the lecture actually goes well without any hassle, Kaiser barely tried to annoy him, well once he realised Isagi was ignoring him. The lecture came to an end sooner than later, and Isagi couldn't wait to leave. He tried packing up as fast as possible but he was still slower than Kaiser, he noticed that the boy was waiting for him for some random reason.

"What do you want?" Isagi grunted, confusion painting his face.

"Aw, Yoichi so mean... I was wondering if you wanted to get lunch with me." Kaiser grinned.

"Lunch with the devil? No thanks"

"Hmph, you're missing out. I'll be paying, buy whatever you want." Kaiser assured.

"Well if you are paying I guess I can spare you a few minutes of my time."

"That's a good boy, thank you oh so much for graciously giving me your time."

"Just shush and lead the way," Isagi answered, barely restraining himself from pulling the hair off Kaiser's head.

The two walked together quietly, with no small talk, there was no need. The cafe wasn't too far away from their school. Within 10 minutes they arrived at the cafe, Bee Munchen, one of Isagi's friends worked there and he prayed he wasn't there right now. Michael made him wait outside whilst he went to find a hostess, she led them to one of the tables outside and they sat down in comfortable silence.

"What are you ordering?" Isagi asked

"Hmm, probably the Falafel burger with fries and a salad. What about you?"

"I'm getting a lot, I'm starving. Be ready to pay up." Isagi cautioned with a slight smile, Kaiser laughed at him and his eyes crinkled ever so slightly. Isagi found it slightly endearing, although he quickly tried to forget that feeling after the stunt Kaiser pulled on him yesterday.

"Hi there guys! Are you ready to order?" The waiter asked, with a soft smile plastered on his face.

"Yep, I'll have the Falafel burger with curly fries and a side salad, oh could I also get a Sprite please." Kaiser sweetly answered 

"And can I get the Caesar salad wrap, with curly fries, er the Fettuccine Alfredo spaghetti with garlic bread, the chicken burger and a diet coke please," Isagi concluded.

"Oh er of course!" The waiter said, wearing a small look of confusion on his face. Kaiser burst out into laughter as the man walked away with their orders, "Ah Yoichi, your appetite always scares people." 

"Hey! Don't be rude, it's not something I can control so easily."

"Don't worry, I meant no malice. Just a cute observation."

"C-cute? You really are insane, tell me why I'm here again?"

"Because you love me, and finally agreed to a date." Kaiser leaned in and narrowed his eyes at Isagi.

"A date? Bah, don't make me laugh. If you wanted a date you would've asked me out with guts."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," Isagi affirmed feeling confident. "Anyways, why would you even want to go on a date with me? I don't like jokes like that." Isagi slumped back in his seat with a tiny pout playing on his face, which he would deny at all costs if called out for it. Kaiser mumbled something in response that Isagi didn't quite catch. "I didn't hear what you said, repeat it"

"No. If you cared you would've bothered to listen to me." Kaiser explained, this time there was a small pout on his face. Isagi sighed, but didn't press any further frankly he didn't care about what he said, but if he heard he knew he would have spent the night trying to decipher what Kaiser meant. They talked for a bit and even shared a bit of laughs until their food was placed in front of them.

"I can't wait, I'm so hungry" Isagi practically drooled at the first sight of his food, which took up almost the entirety of the table.

"Pfft, of course you are. Still haven't lost the baby fat from your cheeks I see." Kaiser giggled, then reached over to pinch one of Isagi's cheeks. Isagi squirmed in agony, and swatted Kaiser's hand away, replacing it with his own and rubbing the sore spot where he pinched. He looked up at Kaiser smiling, and he couldn't help but find himself smiling alongside him. The duo burst out into a fit of giggles and continued to eat their food in peace.

"Okay, the bill is all paid. Time to go home now Yoichi, don't miss me too much baby." Kaiser smirked placing a hand on Isagis chin.

"God you really are insufferable, don't worry about me missing you too much, I've got plenty of other things to do with my life."

"Oh, are you sure you won't miss me?"

"Actually, I don't know. We'll have to see tomorrow, baby. Anyways bye now! Thanks for the meal" Isagi cutely smiled and waved, whilst he walked far off into the distance, presumably to his car or next class.

And for the first time in his life, Michael Kaiser was left alone on a street dumbfounded, yet still blushing and heart pumping with excitement. 

Chapter Text

It was Sunday, and the restaurant was closed. On his day off Isagi still wasn't free from the shackles of Kaiser, he and Kaiser had been paired up for an assignment. Isagi reluctantly trudged to Kaiser's apartment, which was only a five-minute walk away.

He walked up the steps dreading to face the man behind the door, Isagi knocked three times and waited for the door to open. 

Kaiser's annoyingly handsome face popped up, a smug smile resting on his face.

"Good morning Yoichi, come in." Kaiser smiled, gesturing him inside. Isagi simply gave a "Hn." in response and walked in taking off his shoes at the same time. He turned to take some slippers off Kaiser's shoe rack and place them on his feet. He'd been to Kaiser's house too many times to be too shy to ask him for slippers.

"Hm, making yourself at home now aren't you Yoichi?"

"Might as well be my home, you always drag me here," Isagi grunted, then started to walk to the living room, with Kaiser right beside him. He was too close for Isagi's liking, he could practically feel the heat that Kaiser radiated off.

Isagi sat down at the coffee table and pulled out his laptop, Kaiser plopped down right next to him, his laptop already on the table. 

"Okay, I'll do the slides from 1-10, and you do the rest, After that, we can revise each other's work and edit," Isagi ordered, Kaiser just gave a nonchalant shrug and started to type away on his laptop.

However, it didn't last long.

Within an hour Kaiser had already given up, and could barely even finish a slide. Instead he resorted to poking at Isagi or resting a head on his shoulder, Kaiser could get really clingy when he was either bored or tired. It seemed like he was both right then. 

"Ugh, listen if you're not gonna do any work let's just take a break. And get off me, your hair tickles." Isagi sighed and tried to shake Kaiser's head off him, but he just nuzzled his face into Isagi's shoulder instead.

"I'm tired, I need to take a nap." Kaiser yawned after he finally lifted his head off Isagi. For some unknown reason, Isagi's shoulder felt cold. 

"Well you can't, what am I supposed to do while you sleep? I'm tired too, but here we are anyway."

"You could always sleep with me, y'know?" Kaiser smirked, eyes full of mirth.

"What- just shut up. That doesn't even make sense." Isagi squeaked, with a furious red flushed face.

"But Yoichi, I'm tired." Kaiser dramatised, making sure to elongate every vowel he spoke, and then he dropped his head onto Isagi's shoulders.

"There is absolutely nothing I can do about that Michael." 

"You can come nap with me Yoichi."

"No. No, I can't"

"Please?"

"No," Isagi said firmly.

"Please, please Yoichi." 

"I said no. That's that."

Which is what Isagi said, so he doesn't understand how or why he ended up in Michael Kaiser's bed at 1:40 PM on a Sunday afternoon. The truth is Isagi could've very well left and finished the slides himself, but he stayed. For reasons he's not ready to confront yet.

Isagi turned and came face to face with Kaiser, but he wasn't asleep. He was staring at Isagi, face flushed a tinge of pink.

"I thought you were tired?" Isagi questioned

"I was, but now that you're here I can't," Kaiser replied truthfully.

"So what was the point of bringing me here?"

"So I can woo you, duh?"

"Oh please, enough with the theatrics now. If you aren't going to sleep, I'm leaving."

"Okay fine. I'm sorry, but just to warn you I need to hug something to go to sleep."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes."

"Well then, go hug a pillow. What do you want me to do?"

"Silly Yoichi, why should I hug a pillow when you're here?"

"Seriously, you're too high maintenance," Isagi rolled his eyes. "Well go on then." Isagi sighed and gave space for Michael so he could hug him. Kaiser practically threw himself onto Isagi. He gripped tightly almost as if he was afraid that Isagi would run away. His face nuzzled Isagi's neck, and his arms were tight around his waist. Isagi felt uncomfortable in the position he was in, so he had to wrap his arms around Kaiser.

"Can you touch my hair? It helps me fall asleep quicker." Kaiser asked nuzzling his face deeper into Isagi's neck. "Oh my God. Fine." Isagi groaned, lifting a hand to Kaiser's head and slowly scratching his head. He felt Kaiser smirk into his neck and he wanted to die from humiliation, Isagi was lucky Kaiser couldn't see him as of now, or else Kaiser would see his very red face.

As time drew on, both Yoichi and Michael's breathing evened and they fell asleep into a peaceful sleep. 

Or so they thought.

-

Isagi awoke with a start to the sound of a scream. His head was still fuzzy from the dream he had just in. He had to give it to Kaiser, the son of a bitch had a damn good mattress, Isagi lifted his hands that were wrapped around Kaiser and rubbed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again his soul had been sucked right out of him.

What stood right in front of him was Alexis Ness, Kaiser's best friend, and that's not it. Ness had his phone out, presumably recording the whole scene unfolding. Isagi turned to look at Kaiser, and he wore the same horrific expression that Isagi did, All Ness did was shove the camera in their faces, as they were frozen still, and cackled maniacally.

"Oh my Gosh, this is the best day of my life ever. I can't believe you did it, Michael!" Ness screamed in amusement

"No.. no.. no. Dear God please, Alexis do not finish that-" Kaiser mumbled clearly in fear. Isagi just looked around confused, but subconsciously held the arm around Kaiser tighter.

"Ahh, Micha I've got to give it to you. I genuinely cannot believe you had the guts to confess your undying love for Isagi." 

The ceiling literally collapsed on Isagi's head, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "What- No! There was nothing of the sort, What are you talking about?" Isagi announced, still facing the effects of his afternoon nap.

"Wait.. what do you mean?" Ness chuckled awkwardly, face growing pale, a wave of fear washed over Ness' face as he darted his eyes to Kaiser.

"No. No. No.. I'm so fucked, Alexis why would you even say that!?" Kaiser stressed, his face a sickly white, eyes full of horror. 

"What the fuck is going on?" Isagi blurted out with a mixture of despair and terror, he had no clue what was going on. Kaiser loved him? That didn't make sense.

"Err, might as well rip the band-aid off now I guess." Ness wearily joked.

"Ness what the fuck have you done? I'm so finished." Kaiser trembled falling back on the bed.

"What, it's not like what Ness said was true.. right? Tell me it's not so." Isagi prayed. The silence was suffocating.

"Can someone answer me?" Isagi begged.

"Oh sorry Yoichi, ex fucking scuse me for having an existential crisis right now. My stupid crush on you that was under wraps for so long has just been uncovered, and not with my consent either." Kaiser explained, glaring at Ness, who just looked away in shame.

"Holy fucking shit, there's no way..." Isagi whispered, then took a glance at Kaiser who looked as if he wanted the ground to swallow him whole. He shook his head and checked the time on his phone 8:30PM. Shit, Isagi had to get home and finish of the slides.

"Um, I need to get going. I still have my work to finish, but I'll catch up with you guys later." Isagi chuckled sweetly, as if the most traumatising experience hadn't happened to all three of them.

"Yeah.. you go do that, I'll walk you out," Ness said, quickly trying to flee from the scene.

They both rushed out of the room and Ness closed the door, They walked to the front door in silence before Ness spoke.

"Please just forget I said anything today. I'm so royally fucked." He groaned, grasping at his hair.

"Uhh, that's kind of a hard request. But I guess I can try." Isagi claimed. "Err, if it helps you can tell him that we can talk properly like adults if he wants to.." He trailed off voice growing quieter at the end.

"I'll try that, thank you Isagi for not being such a dick about this," Ness commented.

"No worries, it's not that much of a big deal as it seems, Michael isn't all that bad anyway, so there's no need for any embarrassment. Anyways, bye Ness!" Isagi proclaimed then left, shutting the door behind him.

Once he heard the click he let out the biggest sigh ever, and the blush that he had been fighting ran all over his body. Michael has a weakness, and it's me. That can't be too bad, right?

Well, that's what he thought. This was only the calm before the storm.
