Takumi Gets Rejected series!
The huge iMac screen cast just enough light in the dark bedroom that one could see the walls covered in GACKT posters. The bookshelves were home to numerous GACKT CDs and DVDs of all versions: regular, limited, first edition, second edition, boxed edition, gold edition, silver edition, half-moon edition, full-moon edition, no-moon edition, and more… And, on every other flat surface in the bedroom were GACKT figurines and GACKT merchandise, all appearing to be in tip-top condition.
Huddled in front of the aforementioned iMac was a bundle of blankets, in which one would find a heartbroken Takumi. He held a small cup of ice cream in his hands. He’d chosen caramel flavour but the tears running down his face and into his cup was making it salty caramel instead. Nothing was going right for him today…
Just hours ago, his plan to get his beloved nii-san to kiss him via chapstick transferral had been foiled by Sato. It seemed like karma had a vendetta against him for something he did in a previous life because thereafter, everyone else hopped on the bandwagon and kept intercepting his and nii-san’s magical kiss.
Ten sticks of chapstick later and everyone had gotten a kiss from Gackt. Everyone except the one who wanted it most.
Takumi had trudged back home, shuffling his feet like a child, and this was how he greeted nightfall: curled up in front of his iMac in the dark, watching videos of his darling nii-san with a cup of melting ice cream.
A sob tore itself from his throat and he reached a trembling hand to his iMac screen, fingers brushing against Gackt’s beautiful chiseled face. His touch trailed down to those pouty lips.
Just then, a bright cheerful sound that seemed to be mocking his sadness rang throughout the room. Takumi turned his eyes to the corner of the screen. It was a LINE notification-a message from a friend.
Yo, have you seen this??? xD
It came with a YouTube link.
Takumi sniffled and then clicked the link, figuring it would be a good distraction from the ache in his chest. Anything titled “The Pocky Challenge” had to be interesting…
The next day, Takumi entered the dressing room with surprising enthusiasm, so much so one had to wonder if he finally did get Gackt to kiss him. When Sato whispered that theory to You, You shook his head and whispered back that if Gackt had kissed Takumi, Takumi would be incapacitated from the aneurysm that was sure to have followed.
Takumi placed his bag down on a chair, humming a GACKT song. He opened his bag and squealed a little to himself when he saw the numerous boxes of pocky inside his bag. He’d taken every box off the shelf in the nearby convenience store that morning.
It was so simple! It was titled “The Pocky Challenge”, and everyone knew GACKT couldn’t resist challenges.
Now, all that was left to do was wait for Gackt to arrive.
Satisfied and confident, Takumi zipped up his bag and walked off to get into his Camui Gakuen uniform. As he did, images of his successful plan floated about in his head-Gackt’s beautiful lips would clamp down on the thin strawberry Pocky stick and they would get closer, and closer, and closer…
Then.
The magical moment.
Oh, his imagination definitely wasn’t doing the real thing justice. His brain cells could never hope to conjure up even a faint hallucination of the feel of Gackt’s soft petal-like lips pressed against his own, the taste of strawberry shared between them.
He was dragged out of his reverie when the dressing exploded in greetings and buzz. He knew from that, and from the scent of Platinum Egoiste, that Gackt had arrived, before he even turned around.
A sigh left his lips. There his nii-san was, looking impeccable as always. He was already in his Camui Gakuen garb, from the wig to the uniform to the pointy shoes. He felt his heart crack a bit when Gackt walked over to Yuuki to get his chapstick once again.
However, he did not lose heart. Today would be his day.
“Hey, nii-san,” Takumi said, walking over.
“What is it?” Gackt asked after he’d removed his lips from Yuuki’s.
“You wanna play a game?”
The way Gackt’s eyes glinted made Takumi want to smirk in victory.
“What game?”
“It’s a challenge, more than a game,” Takumi said. “Come on, I’ll show you. I’ve got it in my bag.”
Gackt raised an eyebrow. “Okay, show me.”
Takumi nodded and began walking to his bag, though he kept looking over his shoulder at Gackt. “It’s really fun and it’s all the rage right now! Like, the videos on YouTube get millions of views and-heeeeeeeek!”
Gackt blinked and then walked forward past Takumi to see what’d happened.
In the seat next to Takumi’s bag was You-senpai.
Next to You-senpai was a mountain of Pocky boxes.
Empty Pocky boxes.
“Oh, hey, guys,” You-senpai said, munching on the last Pocky stick.
“Man, you eat too much,” Gackt muttered in disdain. You simply smiled. Gackt sighed and shook his head, turning back to Takumi. “Anyway, what were you saying?”
All Takumi could do was stare in silent shock. But when You winked at him from behind Gackt, Takumi tore out of the room in tears.
You wondered if letting Takumi know that Gackt didn’t eat Pocky anyway would make him feel better or worse and decided not to find out.
