Summary: In which Takumi gets serious in his search for The Kiss and doesn’t actually get rejected...
Notes: Been years since I've done the Advent challenge, let's see how this goes.
Takumi had not intended for his quest to get a kiss from Gackt to become something that would actually take up a significant portion of his time. Maybe it had a little to do with growing up in a well-off family, but he was used to getting the things he wanted. So, the fact that everyone else seemed to have gotten what he couldn’t even get close to was really starting to bug him.
“Is there anyone in this goddamn industry he HASN’T kissed?!”
He had come along with Gackt to the television studio for the singer’s recording on the episode of Arashi ni Shiyagare and he hadn’t even been thinking about The Kiss™ when pretty boy Jun casually dropped a line about how the first time he had met Gackt, the singer made a comment about how good-looking the idol was and then kissed him. What the fuck?! Who did that?
Then one by one, the other Arashi members also shared the fact that Gackt had also kissed each one of them in turn. Ohno after filming the second VS Arashi episode, when the group leader had come to thank the soloist for giving him that ring as a birthday present. Aiba at some industry party after a few drinks. Nino to fluster during an off-camera round of Babanuki. Sho apparently only because he had loudly complained that everyone else in the group had gotten one.
“Maybe I’ll just pretend to drown so he can save me,” Takumi muttered to himself, staring bleakly at his computer screen.
“They’ve updated the CPR technique,” Val commented. After drinking a bit too much with Takanori in Singapore (who had also kissed Gackt, goddamn him!) Takumi had let his sincere desire for a kiss slip to the drummer. Val spent the entire flight back home making fun of him, then promised to do his best to help Takumi achieve his goal by the end of the year. “The Kiss of Life isn’t recommended anymore, it’s only the chest pumps now. And he’d probably do it with the Hell Balls instead of his hands.”
Takumi just grumbled in response to another idea crashing down around him.
“Why don’t you make a list?” Val suggested thoughtfully.
“Huh?”
“You know, of all the people he’s kissed and like… the context it was in? Maybe that way you can find something that’s a common situation and use it?”
“That’s brilliant!” The sound producer sat up straight, the gleam back in his eyes as he opened up a fresh Excel file on his new Macbook, and then blasted a determined look at Val. “I’ll start with you! November 1, Kuala Lumpur, kissed because he wanted to try the KitKat!” Takumi laughed, pleased with himself. “This will be perfect!”
“Uhhhh…”
“What?” Takumi snapped.
“You, umm… need a few more lines under my name… That wasn’t the first time,” Val muttered sheepishly in response.
Takumi shoved the drummer into the pool.
