charac. kaiser x fem!reader wc. 900+ no trigger warnings, slighttttt angst + comfort, this kind of kaiser off-field>>>
Michael Kaiser, was a name that everyone knew, except for you. His only name that ever felt familiar to you was Mihya, not Michael, not Kaiser.
In every shade of blue, it was him that spoke to you. You had to give it to him, courting was the last thing youâd expect from the worldâs rising star in football. From his monthly bouquets to weekly car rides that lead to no destination. You were with him, regardless. It was an aimless drive, with no target and no point equivalent.
When the weight of the world sits on your manâs shoulders, you are the only person who could give him an only escape. Hickeys in the back seat became normal. Marks left from the nightâs blessing became a badge of how good you were to him. You said to yourself âMaybe this is what loving a man like him takes. Yes, he takes, and he takes while I leave with nothing.â
You loved him because you knew that no one else did from his past. Right, his goddamn past. It sometimes gives you the haunting what-ifs of his actions. When he pushes you away from a heated kiss, when he suddenly decides to leave you there in his bed after things get heated. You affirm to yourself, âMaybe itâs just his trauma speaking?â
And just when you decided to let go of your end of the rope. It was now he who needed your saving.
Thatâs where you find yourself right now, in his big game. The Neo-Egoist League was nearing its end with its final match against Bastard and PXG. And you sat there, with the big screens flashing your ex-suitorâs familiar blonde-blue hair, laser-sharp eyes, and with a scowl that could easily be wiped away by your smile.
Yet what you never expected was how the cameras pan to your section of the crowd, giving you that special spotlight. It was as if those moments were needed just for Kaiser to see you once again. This time, in a different light. You were now just an ordinary bystander, and he couldnât stand that thought. He didnât know what got to him at that moment, but something ignited in him.
Two consecutive goals in the 82nd minute. It was a product of you, a product of your presence. The cameras notice that heâs looking at something beyond the field. After scoring his final goal, he was sure, he was goddamn sure of himself that what he saw was you. He ran, and ran. Yet just when he found your spot, that was when you'd already left.
Wow, its the first time in a while that heâs called you by name. It was always Liebling or Schatz, but never your name. The very same name that he'd hoped to put a ring on someday. But those were naive dreams, weren't they? A wasted Mrs. Kaiser.
You could only crack a bittersweet smile. Heâs looking for me, you thought. Yet your stubborn heart persisted with your thoughts. You donât want him to come home to you anymore. He never had a home that could shelter him the way you did, you were sure of it. It was ironic how heâd search for you in the crowd.
But you know to yourself that youâve walked away from him many months already. Coming back only meant tearing down the walls youâve hastily builtâa foundation bound to still be vulnerable from his touch.
You didn't dare turn around. Not until a hand was there to strongly grip your vulnerable wrist. It was cold and dry, just like the winter that he left you with. How could he catch up with you leaving the stadium? In this crowded street, where snowflakes fell hard to the concrete. You could see it in his eyes that he begged for someone, not for something. And that was you.
âCan we talk? â He started, with sweat dripping down his temples as he controlled his panting. He was still wearing the same jersey he had for the game, and it was that same jersey that he chose over you, over this whole relationship.
Your stern expression, partnered with your silence, had suddenly eroded his strong resolve. âPleaseâ was all that he could say. He was on his last straw, begging not to break by the force of your deafness. But whoâs to say that you werenât also breaking? And what is it now, with him? You didn't know if you were talking to the same Mihya many months beforeâthe Mihya that willingly left your shared apartment, never to look back again.
âWhyâŠnow? Michael, why now? "You asked, pulling back your wrist that he desperately gripped; to your surprise, he had already loosened it.
âDonât try to be a stranger to me y/n, thatâs all I ask."
You scoff, âThatâs all you ask? I should be the one telling you that. Go on, celebrate your big game, get intoxicated, get yourself off with some other woman.â
He takes another step forward, and you slowly see his own nonchalance cracking away with each word he lets out. âMaybe love does come first before soccer. Because I know damn well that my feet wonât drag me here if I was over you, huh? â
And that was your last straw. âYouâre full of bullshit-â
âI fucking know I am y/n. Iâm not used to gentleness, I donât know how to hold a heart and not break it, love is something alien to me. I bite and I donât fucking know why.â
âMichael.â
âYou know you don't call me that.â
You take a hesitant pause, ââŠ.. Mihyaâ
âLiebeâ He called out instantly, desperate to say it out loud for your ears to once again reach.
He continued, âI wanna come home, but this time, Iâm choosing to stay.â
kaiser's character is definitely vulnerable to love and relationships, and he often makes irrational decisions when it comes down to it, a very grand contrast to his dominant personality on the field.
