Title: Five Tales of Takizawa's Clothes
Pairing: Tackey x Tsubasa
Rating: G (the rest is your own imagination)
Summary: gyaru takizawa versus plain and simple (but cheeky) tsubasa.
Disclaimer: my last fic attempt was when I was 14. and I made hyde die. *gomenasai~~* so er, don't hope too much out of this. it's been read through quite a number of times by myself and I don't know how else to make it better already dakara...
Notes: everything I've referred to is written at the bottom of each little section.
five tales of takizawa’s clothes
1. the flasher
tsubasa raised an eyebrow as he watched his aikata-kun walk into the dance studio. indeed the weather was getting cold, but seriously, this was odd. in fact tsubasa wasn’t the only one wondering – all the other staff and juniors had similar puzzled faces.
takizawa was entirely in black. black hat, black hair, shades, black coat, black pants, black shoes, black bag. plus the coat was totally buttoned up so he looked more like a flasher than a celebrity.
“ano...hide-kun...” tsubasa started. takizawa looked up at him, removed his shades and flashed a smile. tsubasa blinked a while and started again. “hide-kun, why are you dressed like a, uhm, flasher today?”
“flasher?!” takizawa instinctively collapsed onto the floor. he pulled himself up and sat next to tsubasa and whispered to him, “I’ll flash you at home, okay?”
tsubasa gave him the glare of doom. “what I meant by that was, why are you dressed so black today? it’s so unlike you. and isn’t it warm wearing that overcoat of yours?”
takizawa’s face fell a little, but brightened up when asked the second question. “ohhhh that’s because I saw this top online and I had to get it, but it’s a little thin so I grabbed this coat that I haven’t used in ages and well everything turned out black,” explained takizawa.
tsubasa sighed but asked anyway: “so, let me see this new top of yours.”
takizawa proudly unbuttoned the coat to reveal the most glittery, sparkly, bright, reflective, shiny gold tank top. “TADA! isn’t it nice and bright against the black? ne, tsubasa? tsu...basa...?”
tsubasa totally regretted asking.
*buying things online comes from that utaban appearance when t&t went shirtless and takki knew the weirdo info-commercial guy from buying stuff online and tsubasa had no clue absolutely who he was.
**gold tank top comes from 2007 domoto kyoudai appearance where tsubasa said that takki’s dress sense was totally different from him, saying, “like he’d come in a gold tank, a gold bag etc”.
2. missing shoes
after a live was over, tsubasa packed up his stuff and headed out to the van waiting outside the venue. as he passed takizawa’s dressing room, he saw takizawa still half rummaging his room, obviously searching for something.
“hide-kun,” tsubasa called out, “what are you looking for?”
“my black birkies. I left them somewhere...here...or there...somewhere...”answered takizawa distractedly as he continued to search for his beloved sandals. tsubasa took one glance at takizawa’s jacket, trackpants and tried to imagine the black birks on. his face changed colour but he decided not to comment on that but to help his poor aikata-kun get some footwear. no way was he letting hide-kun go barefooted in autumn.
just as he started to help overturn all the bags and stuff, a staff suddenly burst in and exclaimed, “takizawa-san! sumimasen! you left your sandals backstage and I wore them by accident.” upon seeing both of their half-confused faces, she continued, “I have the exact same pair, and I left my own pair in another part of the backstage to climb the ladders to fix some decorations. and in the end I forgot exactly where I had placed my own, and wore yours without knowing, until I discovered my own pair where I left them and figured these were actually yours. so sorry!!!”
the poor girl apologised profusely and takizawa had to keep telling her that it was alright and that she should go home quick because it was getting late.
as they walked out together, takizawa suddenly said, “ne tsubasa, it’s all your fault.” tsubasa ‘s only reaction was, “huh?” takizawa continued, “if I continued wearing the gold pair then nobody would get the sandals mixed up. they’re unmistakable, unlike these plain black ones that you insisted I should change to.”
tsubasa had zero comment to that logic.
*the jacket, trackpants and black birks combination is from premium live dvd limited A’s offshot section. I don’t remember exactly which live it was, but that was exactly how takki emerged from the concert venue.
**the gold birks were mentioned on a 2006 zubari iu wa yo, where tsubasa exposed the gyaru side of takki, including a pair of gold birks, and a gold duffel bag.
3. all that lace
takizawa opened his dressing room door to hear somebody looking through his rack of costumes. “imai-san, if I go onstage with the wrong costume it’s going to be your fault...” takizawa teased, only to get zero response from tsubasa.
tsubasa was holding this lacy piece that was a pretty knee-length jacket, and tut-tut-tuttering at it. takizawa was puzzled – usually tsubasa did have that sort of reaction with his daily clothes, but never his concert costumes, since they WERE meant to be ridiculously outrageous.
“all this lace on a jacket – wasted,” declared tsubasa. before takizawa could say anything in defence, tsubasa continued. “ne hide-kun, after your tour is over, you’re passing me this jacket, okay?” takizawa was even more confused than ever.
“but what on EARTH are you going to do with it?” asked takizawa to a tsubasa who was continuing to examine the coat.
“hmmm it’ll make a few pieces I suppose,” tsubasa said absent-mindedly, not answering the question.
“make?! you’re going to make something out of this coat?”
“then you expect me to wear this?”
takizawa played with a lace only clad tsubasa image in his head but quickly smacked himself internally and said, “er, no...but what are you going to make out of this?”
“what else do you make with lace like this?”
takizawa had no idea. “what?”
“underwear, obviously. what else?”
takizawa collapsed. tsubasa merely grinned.
*the lacy lace coat is a coat used in takki’s arigatou 2005 sayonara concert. tsubasa sang venus with takki wearing that.
4. the dog’s fault
“takizawa.”
takizawa looked up to the familiar face, but certainly not the familiar way of being called. tsubasa’s face read ‘something you have done has made me unhappy’ and takizawa’s first line of defence was the silliest smile he could muster.
tsubasa’s face didn’t change. but before takizawa could find another way of making amends for something he didn’t even know at that point in time, tsubasa continued.
“so what’s this about mixing up the measurements? such that they’ve tailored my clothes as yours and your clothes as mine now?”
takizawa’s face froze for a moment, then putting the most indignant look he could on his face, takizawa exploded into a long ramble about how dear hidezo at home was bored without hidepita since hidepita had to stay with the vet for a while due to munching on some random tennis ball at home and then hidezo ended up munching some papers and accidentally munched on the papers with both their measurements on it and so while salvaging the papers takizawa ended up writing the wrong numbers blah blah blah...
tsubasa’s neatly trimmed eyebrows went up higher and higher as his dear hide-kun tried so hard to explain, complete with animated hands, exasperated expressions and a tone of utter self defence. but obviously, takizawa had ended up giving himself away in the course of his long and useless explanation.
“SO, in the first place, what were the measurements even doing in YOUR house in YOUR hands instead of the wardrobe people huh? what did you want to do with them huh? hide-kun?”
takizawa was caught. “UHM ano, ne, ore, uhm...” takizawa didn’t know how to explain this without incurring another ‘takizawa’ from tsubasa. but takizawa finally decided that it was best to just come clean. after all, there was little to be done about the final costumes – they were due for an appearance in just a couple of hours.
“okay okay I switched the names on the documents because it just felt like fun to have you in something less plain and perhaps I could try something that’s even plainer than yours. and they didn’t turn out too bad did they? didn’t right? didn’t...?” takizawa tried really really hard to neutralise this little experiment of his. complete with a really really earnest face.
tsubasa sighed. “well yes indeed at least it’s just a glittery gold and silver design on a mostly white shirt, and not some gold tank with silver flowers dripping or something.”
takizawa nodded earnestly, his face turned hopeful.
“BUT, you try this stunt again, and next concert you’re wearing a bra, okay?” tsubasa winked as he said that with a cheeky smile on his face, and promptly walked out of the dressing room.
“OEIIIIII!!!” takizawa stomped in protest.
*said gold and silver patterned white tee was worn for their music fair performance to promote koi uta. while takki was seriously plainer than tsubie.
**wearing a bra was a really terribly hilarious joke throughout the hey hey hey episode to promote koi uta. takki was teased from beginning to end and tsubie did not help at all.
5. that white suit
takizawa opened tsubasa’s room door to find the boy sitting in the middle of it, surrounded by papers upon papers of costume drawings. “woah sugeeee,” marvelled takizawa as he picked up one of the drawings that tsubasa had done in preparation for the next WWP.
“oh good you’re here. maybe you could pick a few among this stack,” tsubasa pointed to a small pile by the wall, “and brighten them up since your amazing gyaru skills would be suitable for that section.” takizawa hopped happily over the various small piles and reached the mentioned pile and immediately got to work.
“but you know it’s really odd, hide-kun.”
“what’s odd?”
“there was this white suit that I used for my 23 to 24 tour and it was really nice. I thought it might fit one of the sections but for the life of me, I can’t find that suit and neither can the staff find it. we have like zero clue where it’s gone.”
takizawa shifted slightly and suggested, “erm, maybe the rats got to it and they had to throw it away? I mean, you’ll never know.”
tsubasa frowned. “that would still be odd.” tsubasa looked up at his flat screen tv and excitedly, “ne hide-kun, that’s your new CM isn’t it?”
then he frowned. “and that white suit...HIDEAKI.”
takizawa began looking for an escape route. to find none.
*the white suit tsubie’s looking for was worn during the pride the end performance on the 23 to 24 dvd, complete with white hat and all.
**flat screen tv in tsubasa’s room was a present from takki, as stated in 2007 domoto kyoudai appearance.
***takki’s CM here refers to his nissin spa-o advertisement where he dons a similar white suit and is supposed to be a yakuza boss. supposed to be.
kanpeki. need to go out in an hour or so. and it's actually RAINING today. like how did that happen! it's national day for crying out loud. the day they make sure it doesn't rain by making it rain 2 days in advance. but honestly looking out of the window, the sun seems to be coming out again. maybe they overestimated a little. hmmm.
