Title: The New Level of Flashy
Author:ryans_cupcake
Rating: G
Pairing: Raikou/Gau (really it's one sided Gau->Raikou)
Genre: Flashy.
Notes/warnings: A few notes, 1) Drunk McDonalds guy is based off a guy that I met who was actually drunk in McDonalds, 2) to own golden pants with 200 bells down each leg has been a dream of mine for a very long time, if anyone is willing to make some for me, just left me know ;D. Warnings 1) hasn't been beta'd so it might have a lot of grammatical errors 2) I R FRM NZ. So I spell colour different to everyone else.
Gau felt very out of place in the street filled with guys and girls wearing all different sorts of flashy new fashion. He reminded himself, this is all for Raikou, All for Raikou, All for Raikou, All for Raikou. He kept telling himself that. Gau pushed past the guy who had an eye on his nose and a nose on his eye, trying not to stare. He found his way to the shop with the bright flashing neon sign. The inside of the shop put the neon sign outside to shame, every piece of clothing had something sparkly on it. Every piece. At first the shop blinded a little Gau, and he stumbled around grasping for support. Eventually he grabbed a near by clothes rack, and supported himself against it until his eyes adjusted to the light.
Fifteen minutes later when his eyes were finally able to see in the blinding light, Gau went to find the shop assistant. It didn't take long, she was practically radiating light, wearing a neon yellow headband covered in carefully placed sparkles, a long pink cardigan and instead of buttons were large pieces of glitter, Her jeans were bright lime green and started out as skinny jeans then flared out, they had a glittery flower pattern running up the sides. "Ah, Gau! What a surprise it is to see you here without Raikou beside you," she stated, "What brings you here then?"
"Well you see, Raikou's birthday is next weekend... And I was wanting to get him a present he would like..." Gau blushed, not looking the assistant in the eyes.
"A PRESENT!" The assistant shouted, "Oh Gau, you're so cute! I'll help you pick something out for Raikou," She said guiding him to a stand with golden coloured waist coats with a golden suit to match, to a stand with hat's made out of sequins, to scarves all the colours of the rainbow, and to silver purses with patches of cute animals.
But none of those objects seemed like they would make do as a present for Raikou. Raikou had most of those things anyway, what use would he have for another scarf made out of liger fur any way? Gau needed to take flashy to the next level. With his new found determination, came a little bit of sadness that he hadn't been able to find Raikou's present at the first shop he went into. Gau really didn't want to spend too long in this district, he didn't like it here, everyone was so... strange. As to confirm Gau's thoughts a man wearing a bonsai tree for a hat just brushed his shoulder, Gau took a deep breath, clutched his messenger bag tighter and entered the next shop in hope of finding the next level of flashy.
-x.X.x-
Gau stared at his half eaten happy meal, with his cheap plastic toy still in it's packing. He checked his watch.
4.11 pm.
5 hours of shopping with no luck in the slightest. Gau had given up and retreated to a near by McDonalds. Gau was so depressed that he didn't even notice that the guy with the eye on his nose, who he had met earlier, was sitting down beside him, and this time he was quite drunk. "What's got you so down?" He said.
It gave Gau such a fright that he actually screamed and jumped right out of his chair. "Oh! Sorry... I was deep in thought, Uh what did you say again?" just because Gau did not like the people, didn't mean he had lost his manners.
"What's got you so sad?"
"Uh... Well, it's someone special's birthday next weekend... and I haven't been able to find them a present,"
"And you've been looking around this superficial area for a present for this special someone? Well there's you're problem. Presents have to come from the heart, you won't find any of that magic from these shops," He said while waving his hands about.
And then it hit Gau, I can make the present myself!! That way Raikou will really appreciate it! "Thank you drunk McDonalds guy! You've been a great help!"
"Don't mention it -Hick" He hiccuped and swayed back and forth on the McDonalds stand.
Gau rushed out of McDonalds checking his watch.
4.19 pm.
Just enough time to go and buy some fabric!
-x.X.x-
Gau left the fabric shop with a smile on his face and a bag full of bells and gold silk. The following week he spent locked in his room, with a sewing machine. His days consisted of:
-Waking up
-Eating toast for breakfast
-Sewing
-Un-picking
-More sewing
-More more sewing
-More un-picking
-More sewing
-One hour sleep
But the end result was glorious: A pair of golden pants, with 200 bells running down each leg.
This was the new level of flashy. Each step that Raikou takes, when he hears the chimes of the 400 bells he'll be reminded of me! Gau thought proudly as he examined the final product. Gau ironed and folded the pants, placing them in a very expensive gift box, wrapped with the finest of wrapping paper. With the box under his arms, and a grin from ear to ear, Gau headed towards Raikou's room. Gau knocked on Raikou's door 3 times and waited for an answer.
"Who's there?" Raikou said opening the door, "Oh Gau, hey... What's that under your arm?"
"This... Oh… Uh... Happy Birthday," Gau blushed and handed Raikou the box with both his arms extended.
"Oh, it's not my birthday. Did I tell you that last week? I meant it was Yukimi's birthday today. Not mine. But thanks for the thought anyway," Raikou smiled and shut the door.
