    Summary

    wait- love?

    Isagi has never really stopped to question his sexuality, and he’s not about to do it now that he’s just started making a name for himself and living in an enclosed space with a bunch of boys with some serious anger-management issues.

    However.

    Isagi looks up from where he’s been kneeling on the field for the past minute, pretending to tie his shoe. He follows the sound of Bachira’s voice, like ringing bells, as he excitedly talks Kaiser’s ear off; Isagi’s not close enough to actually make out the words, but that’s not what’s bothering him.

    Kaiser’s twirling a lock of Bachira’s hair on his nape from where his arm rests on Bachira’s shoulder. The asshole isn’t even paying attention, his gaze fixed on his own hand.

    For an instant, Kaiser’s eyes meet Isagi’s. Isagi feels the urge to punch the stupid, placid smile off his face.

    or: Kaiser finds a new way to drive Isagi mad

    Summary

    There are three simple facts of Reo Mikage’s life and they are this: the sky is blue, the grass is green and Bachira and Isagi are hopelessly, obliviously in love.

    Thankfully, moving halfway across the globe and playing for a team on a separate continent entirely has reduced his interactions with them to once or twice a year–three times if he’s unlucky. Unfortunately, the World Cup does the metaphorical equivalent of throwing a giant, planet-sized axe in his plans.

    Summary

    In a spectacular combination of desperate maneuvers and misplaced feet, Isagi and Bachira collide—lips on lips—in a match that’s televised for the whole world to see.

    If that was the end of it, it’d be fine. An early career mishap, an embarrassing anecdote to laugh about one day and forget the next.

    The problem is: Isagi can’t forget.

    Summary

    When Isagi Yoichi, the centerforward for Japan's national football team, sustains a knee injury during one of the most important matches of his career, he thought everything he worked for was over. Placed on leave by his coaches and doctors and caught in a storm of restlessness, he retreats to the solitary meadows of rural Japan. There, he meets Bachira Meguru, an eccentric yet kind beekeeper who has a knack for annoying his new next door neighbor. In between the sunny afternoons and quiet nights, something in Isagi shifts.

    Just as their relationship begins to bloom, the question Isagi had been avoiding for so long reveals itself, uninvited and impossible to ignore. Was healing supposed to bring him back to football, or had healing shown him something worth leaving his career behind for?

    Or: Isagi learns the art of beekeeping and falls in love along the way.
