Fandom/Pairing: 7WEST (KamiTake)

If you don't know who Saotome Taichi is, here are some of my favorite performances by him. I, personally, think he's amazing. (YouTube links)
- Samurai Dance
- Prayer of 1000 years (female role)

Kamiyama looked at Takemoto in disbelief. They had been getting ready to go home after dance practice when Takemoto had nudged him, asking him if he was free on Saturday the 13th. Kamiyama said that he was, laughing because by now, Takemoto should know that he’d be free anytime if it meant they could spend time together.
But Kamiyama wasn’t laughing when Takemoto told him why he’d asked. “You have two tickets to see who?!”
Takemoto squirmed a little, looking over his shoulder to make sure the other members weren’t paying any attention to them. “Saotome Taichi,” he said again. “He’s that-“
“Really feminine traditional stage performer,” Kamiyama finished for him. “I know who he is. What I’m trying to understand is why we have tickets to see him.”
Takemoto gave him a pained look. “My mother bought them and since we don’t have work that day, we have to use them. Please tell me you’ll come with me…”
“Shimpei…” Kamiyama said in a low voice, trying not to give in to Takemoto’s pleading eyes. “The show is the day before Valentine’s Day. On top of that, it’s a show for a guy that’s famous for being a girl. Do you realize that we’ll probably be the only guys in the audience? If rumors get started, we could get in a LOT of trouble.”
In the end though, Kamiyama found himself seated next to Takemoto and surrounded by middle-aged women on the 13th. Of course. There really had been no way around it when they both knew that Takemoto-san had bought the tickets with the intention of Kamiyama going with him.
As they both sat low in their seats, waiting for the show to just start already, Kamiyama supposed that he should be grateful that at the very least, it meant that Takemoto-san approved of him dating her son. She never actually said anything, but she showed it in other ways.
He felt a little less grateful when he heard the clicking of a cell phone taking a picture not too far away. He groaned and pulled his baseball cap lower when it was soon followed by some giggling about how cute it was that the two boys had come to see Saotome Taichi.
“When we get yelled at or teased at practice tomorrow, remember, this is totally your fault.” At least the age range of the audience was notably older than he’d anticipated.
Takemoto just laughed sweetly. “Uh-huh~!”
