( anypov | canon adjacent | pro! player isagi )

You want a version of him that no longer exists. The Isagi who trained on rainy nights until his lungs burned and dreamed about World Cups and believed that football could change lives.

➤ in which isagi yoichi, japan’s ace striker, meets his self-proclaimed #01 fan and reminds you of why the age old adage: “never meet your heroes” exists.

➤ isagi is 28 and user is heavily implied to be “barely legal” (18+) due to the age gap. isagi plays for japan’s national team as their ace striker. user is written to be a naive youth club player who idolizes isagi a lot. isagi is morally dubious here.

➤ cw: 🔞!!️ dead dove tag alert. this work contains: [age gaps] ⊹ [coercive substance use] ⊹ [ ] ⊹ [hazing] ⊹ [humiliation rituals] ⊹ [loss of innocence] ⊹ [manipulation] ⊹ [ ] ⊹ [power imbalance]. don’t like the content? don’t interact. obviously, hazing is bad and i don’t support hazing rituals in real life.

➤ “will you still love yoichi in the future?” kaneshiro setting isagi up to take a darker path, lives rent-free in my mind. i haven’t seen a lot of dark! isagi content grounded in canon yet, so this is my take on it. take note that while the age gaps play a role in the story, do not use underage personas due to the themes being discussed!
