This is in response to
Otochan's request in the Fanfic Discussion Thread.
Felt like doing it since this pairing is pretty rare.
I like rare pairings. 
Did a few research on these two and well...I came up with this.
Hope you guys like it!
This fic is full of exaggerations. So bear with it.
Exaggeration galore!
_____________________________________________
My Perfect Ikemen"In 8th place..." Togasaki trailed as he took hold of the envelope containing the name of the member in 8th place. You could almost feel the tension the members of AKB48 were feeling as he opens the envelope. Some were holding their breath, others were clutching their skirt, most of them praying in their head in anticipation for the announcement to be made. An announcement that would determine a members' ranking in the group. A nerve wracking experience for every member of AKB48.
The AKB48 senbatsu election.
It was a method that the AKB48 management came up with to determine who's popular and who's getting popular within AKB48. It was also a way for the management to see if the group is also doing well in the country. This is the first time that they held such an election. And somehow it didn't feel like it will also be the last. Something tells each member that this is just the start of a new tradition in AKB48.
A tradition that holds both negative and positive in each member.
"AKB48...Team A..." Drum rolls could be heard, a spot light goes to every member especially Team A members. Their hearts thumping hard, some praying it be them, some praying for it not to be them, the rest thinking nothing of it.
"Sato Amina!"
Some members felt relieved. Other members felt sad. One member was surprised as her name was called. She stood up, the spotlight on her, cheers could be heard. Her tears began to fall as she heard,
"Congratulations!"
Walking towards the stage with the spotlight on her...it felt surreal.
She knew right there and then that she would never ever forget this day.
The day she shinned at last.
The day she was 8th."Amina...amina are you alright?" Kasai Tomomi said as she placed her hand on the dazed girls shoulder. Somehow that brought Amina back.
"Uh...s-sorry. I was just...thinking about stuff." Amina smiled slightly at Tomomi who smirked.
"Yeah. Finding out that we're going to have another Danso episode would definitely make your head wonder."
"Yeah..." Amina replied as she looked at her lap. Sure she was excited for another Danso episode but like any other day in AKB48, her head would just go back to those painful days. Back then it was a blessing to remember it. After AKB48's single, Iiwake Maybe, it felt like a curse.
A curse that seems to have no cure.
"Any idea who's going to participate today?" Tomomi asked as she turned to the other members sitting in their seats waiting for the staff to finish preparing for the Danso episode. Most of them shrugged and shook their head to answer.
"I wonder if Sashihara is going to participate." Rabutan asked beside Amina, her head tilted slightly.
"Sashi?!"
"Yeah, she was here earlier yet I don't see her now." Rabutan looked at the other members chatting trying to see if Sashihara was among them. She frowned slightly when she didn't see Sashihara. Looks like Sashihara is among the participants then.
"If Sashihara is going to Danso...then that'll be interesting to see." Tomomi said, frowning slightly. Rabutan couldn't help but nod her head in agreement. Definitely going to be interesting.
"Well I heard Kojima-san is going to participate today." Harugon said making a few members squeal out in delight upon hearing her news. It can't be helped since Kojima Haruna is known to be quite handsome when she's disguising herself as a man. Proof of that is No3b's dorama Mendol Ikemen Idol wherein Haruna played Persona's handsome leader, Riku. Just thinking about the Persona leader brought excitement to the members.
Another great day is upon them.
"I hope they dress Kojima-san properly today. That last Danso she did as Captain Jack Kojiharu was such a failure. It's such a waste for Kojima-san's handsome features." Tomomi sighed, wearing a dreamy face as she remembers Riku. Most of the members nodded their head in approval. Amina couldn't help but be amused at the dreamy face most members have.
Looks like Haruna would get a perfect score if she ever go with Riku in the Danso episode.
"Why are you wearing your lovesick face?" Riku's image suddenly bursts from Tomomi's bubble as they heard someone's voice. Turning, they found Itano Tomomi heading towards them wearing a school uniform.
"The Danso episode hasn't even started yet." Tomochin pointed out as she sat down the edge of the stage facing the members.
"We heard that Kojima-san is going to participate so I'm imagining her wearing something handsome." Tomomi explained, smiling. That smile was immediately wiped out when she heard a scoff from Tomochin.
"Don't get your hopes up." Tomochin looked at the side, smiling.
"Don't tell me she's going for something weird again?"
"Not telling."
"Not fair!" Tomomi pouted as she looked at her friend who shrugged. So much for having a great day then.
"So Kojima-san isn't your partner Itano-san?" Harugon asked hoping that the fashionista would somehow give them a hint on today's Danso episode. Maybe it would also bright light on Haruna's look if ever the latter is paired up to Tomochin. If she is paired up with the fashionista, maybe...just maybe she'd be wearing something related to the school uniform that Tomochin is wearing.
Unless it's like Moeno's Danso episode that is.
"No, she's not." Tomochin answered.
"Oh." Was Harugon's deflated response. So much for a hint then.
"I'm paired with Takamina today." Amina was stunned at what the fashionista said. Takamina is going to...?
Her eyes widen at Tomochin who looked a bit bored, unaware of the dazed Amina staring at her.
"Oh?!" Harugon and most of the members exclaimed excitedly. Takamina, who played Kai, the aggressive Persona member in the dorama Mendol Ikemen Idol was also going to participate in the Danso episode. That's another handsome Persona member in the Danso episode. Surely there's no fail in that.
Let's say hello again to another great day then.
Tomochin sighed at the energized members. Typical that they'd get excited for this episode again. This is clearly because of the whole no boyfriend rule that the management has on them. Even though she too is under that rule, she's thankful that she feels somewhat indifferent when it comes to these kind of activities.
Apathy truly is a bliss sometimes...especially in cases such as these.
But then again, maybe she's not the only one who feels indifferent about these Danso episodes. Compared to the other members, it seems that Amina doesn't look like she's excited about the whole thing too as she's not fussing over the news about Takamina's participation. She's just staring at her lap, a slight frown on her face.
'What's up with that?' Tomochin frowned in thought. Amina, like Tomomi, loved every cross dressing event AKB48 has. She's a sucker for these. So why does she look like she's...disturbed about the whole thing? Is she disturbed that Takamina is going to Danso?
'No way.' Tomochin shook her head. She decided to discreetly observe the girl as Tomochin placed a hand on Amina's shoulder, smiling.
"Isn't this great Amina? We'd get to see two Persona members in the Danso!" Tomomi squealed while Amina gave her a forced smile. Tomochin resisted the urge to raise her eyebrow upon seeing it.
"Y-yeah. I'm so excited!" Amina's feigned excitement reply to Tomomi who nodded her head, beaming. Tomochin narrowed her eyes at her friend. Tomomi couldn't be this dense could she? It's so obvious that Amina is just putting up a front yet Tomomi is just gushing over what would happen later on.
Maybe Tomomi IS dense.
That nagging feeling that something is bothering Amina intensifies as she stood up and excused herself saying that she needs to go to the restroom. Tomomi's eyes followed her for a few second as she walked towards the exit of the studio. She then turned to Tomomi, her eyebrow raised.
"Is something wrong with Amina?"
"She's just excited about the whole Danso thing. I think she just stepped out just so she could do some major squealing and fangirling out of the studio. The girl looked like she's about to burst you know!" Tomomi waved off making Tomochin narrow her eyes at the girl.
"For real?"
"Yeah. Didn't you see her all shook up when you mentioned Takamina being in the Danso? Clearly Amina has it hard for Takamina Danso you know." Tomomi nodded wearing a smug smile. Tomochin frowned slightly at what Tomomi said. Is Tomomi...right?
"Remember back then in the AX concert wherein she said she fell hard for Kai while they were performing?" Tomomi added. Remembering that, Tomochin's frown disappeared as she thinks her friend has a good point. Amina couldn't take her eyes off of the Persona member that time. And she said so herself that she fell for Kai back then.
"Maybe you're right." The nagging feeling she felt earlier lessened at Tomomi's explanation making her to smile slightly at her friend. Maybe she's just imagining things then. The only thing Amina is bothered with is probably the torture she's feeling waiting for the Danso to start.
Tomochin nodded at that thought.
"I am right because that's how I felt when I heard Sae-chan is going to participate in the Danso episode earlier." Tomomi sighed dreamily as she remembers a few hours ago when Sae acted out her awesome bad ass self in the Danso. She is so going to pester the editing crew to make her a copy of today's Danso episode. It's a must for her awesome collection.
"I really don't get what's the fuss about, really." The fashionista sighed and shook her head as she looked at her friend who is obviously in dreamland. Tomomi looked at her shocked for awhile then decided to educate her friend on how wonderful the Danso episodes are. Soon enough, every member inside followed suit and shared their own opinions about the whole thing. Some squeals and fangirling could be heard making Tomochin sigh again.
Maybe she should just take back what she said and go with it.
'If you can't beat them...then just shut up.' Tomochin thought, her eyes narrowed as she forced herself to listen.
***************************Amina walked mindlessly at an empty hallway with no apparent destination in mind. Her eyes downcast and she looked like she's deep in thought. Tomochin's words about being paired up with Takamina in the Danso plagues her mind. She feels...heavy for some reason. Just the thought of Takamina dressing up as a man makes her feel...heavy.
Sighing, she stopped walking and realized that she was far off from where she said she was heading. Looks like she passed the restroom awhile back. Now that she thinks about it, where she is right now is so unfamiliar to her.
Where the heck is she??
Something caught her eye though as she looked up ahead towards what appeared to be an exit wherein she could see what appears to be a garden up ahead. But the garden isn't the thing that caught her eye. Rather it was a guy wearing a gakuran with a white bandana on his head and shoulder doing what appears to be some arms stretching exercise outside that caught her attention. The guy had her back to her oblivious of Amina's confused stare. She could also make up the muffled voice of the guy, due to the closed glass door and windows, who was somewhat saying something as he continues with his exercise.
'What is he doing?' Frowning, Amina decided to check it out. She quietly stepped out of the studio and just stood by the door just watching the guy. The guy was...cheering for someone...?
"Fure~ Fure~..." The guys' voice bellowed. Amina's eyes widen slightly as she recognize the voice.
Is that...?
"Takamina...?" Amina softly said, her eyes glued at the other girl. Takamina immediately turned towards the voice and found Amina staring at her. The latter girls' lips parted slightly as she stared at the little captain.
"A-Amina?!" Takamina exclaimed, her eyes widen in shock. The two stared at each other for awhile, blush creeps on their faces. One was blushing at the mere fact that someone found her practicing her Ouendan for the Danso while the other was blushing at the sight in front of her.
Takamina looked so...
"Embarassing..." Takamina groaned as she placed a hand on her face covering her blushing face. That seemed to bring back Amina from her trance, her eyes finally leaving the little captain as she stared at the ground.
"S-sorry. I didn't mean to..."
Takamina glanced at her in between her fingers noticing how shy Amina looked. She couldn't help but chuckle thinking that the girl looked cute looking all shy like that. It really isn't Amina's fault that she found her in an embarrassing moment.
Smiling, Takamina removed her hand from her face and shook her head.
"It's okay. I guess I should've just looked for a much secluded place to practice." She scratched her cheek thinking that the place they were in was pretty secluded enough. Makes her wonder what made Amina to come into this place. Was she looking for her?
'Nah.' Takamina shook her head, dismissing the thought.
"No. I guess...I just wasn't aware that I've been wandering around." Amina smiled as she looked at the side.
"Why were you? Wandering around I mean." Takamina asked making the other girl to look at her. They way Takamina looks at her, concern across her handsome face, made Amina's heart ache once again. She decided to smile though rather than show how much her heart aches. She didn't want to burden the little captain...again.
Not...again.
"No reason. I just wanted to walk around a bit." She gave Takamina a genuine smile. The little captain stared at her for awhile, her face was unreadable for Amina. It was as if Takamina was...reading her. Trying to see if she was lying or not. That gaze of hers...it makes Amina... nervous. She wonders though if Takamina could read her. What she feels...what she's feeling.
Could Takamina possibly...see it...? The reason why her heart aches...?
Thankfully, Takamina tore off her gaze to the other girl as she sighs, shaking her head. Takamina then pulled out a bunch of papers and held it out for Amina to take. The latter girl looked at it for awhile then turned to the handsome ikemen, raising her eyebrow in confusion.
"Help me practice my lines?" Takamina smiled handsomely. Amina stared at her for awhile, a slight blush across her face, until finally took the papers handed to her nodding her head and smiling back.
"Sure."
***************************"...are you trying to skip class again?" Ikemen Takamina asked as she stared at Amina, a slight frown on her face. Amina gripped the papers tight, frowning at Takamina.
"Shut up. Stop lecturing me. Just because we're childhood friends..." Amina trailed as she looked at the side. Takamina surprised her when she grabbed both her arm, squeezing it slightly. Her eyes turned at Takamina whose eyes looked a bit...sad.
"What's wrong with you? You weren't like that before. You were so serious and you always worked so hard. So why--" She pushed Takamina away from her, releasing herself from the little captain's grasp.
"Stop it! Nothing good ever comes to working hard. Nothing! Being like this...it's much easier..." Amina said, her voice cracking a bit.
It felt real for Takamina to hear Amina say those words. So real that she took a step towards her, uttering her name softly. Only when she saw Amina look at the script did she stop herself from going to the girl and comforting her.
Was that...just an act...?
"Stop worrying about me and go cheer on some other girl." There it is again. Amina's voice sounded so...broken. She's probably imagining it again...but...
Sighing, Takamina let out her Ouendan cheer again.
"Fure~ Fure~...A-MI-NA. Fure~" She stopped when she felt Amina grab her arm and squeezed it.
"Stop it. It's embarrassing when you shout like that." Amina let out a giggle as she looked at Takamina. The latter girl glanced at her, a slight smile on her ikemen face.
"I'm not embarrassed about it..." Takamina turned to her, a soft genuine smile graced her handsome features as she looked at Amina who felt her heart begin to beat hard and fast. This is exactly the part wherein the sound effects for the beating heart would be heard in a Danso episode. Amina somehow found it funny that it was exactly happening to her. But she didn't laugh, nor did she smile. She just stared at Takamina blankly, her lips slightly open as she waits for Takamina's finishing blow.
That final blow that would definitely make a woman's heart beat like hers.
"That's because...I will always be your number one supporter...Amina." Amina's eyes widen as she stares at Takamina upon hearing her gentle voice. That voice that calmed her back then. She suddenly remembered her curse, the first time she watched the Iiwake Maybe PV and how Takamina followed her and dragged her towards the restroom, locking themselves inside just so Amina would let it all out. Let out all her feelings of anguish and frustration because as Takamina said at that time...
...if she doesn't let it all out it'll just continue to eat her up, making her feel miserable forever.
"Amina...?" Takamina placed her hand on Amina's shoulder. She frowned slightly as she noticed the tears forming in the dazed girl eyes. Takamina's finishing blow...it brought tears to Amina's eyes. Amina didn't fight the tears that escaped her eyes, letting them fall.
"I...I'm s-sorry...I..." She tries to explain but was cut off as Takamina quickly pulled her, engulfing her in a hug. Amina turned her face slightly, her lips grazed the ikemen's cheek. She wonders if Takamina was bothered by it. If she is...she didn't seem to be showing it.
"Takami--"
"It's okay." Takamina softly said, trying not to shiver as she felt Amina's warm breath against her skin. She tries to calm herself feeling a bit uncomfortable with the situation she's in. Hopefully Amina doesn't notice it as she tightened her hold on the girl.
"I know it still hurts...and it's okay. It'll just disappear someday. I'm sure of it." Takamina whispered, caressing the girls' back. She felt Amina nod her head making her smile slightly.
"Till then...just continue to do your best, alright?" Amina let out a whimper at what Takamina said. She placed her forehead on the other girls' shoulder, crying softly. The ikemen continues to caress her back, comforting her. She felt the other girl let out a sigh then whispered,
"I meant what I said. I will be your number one supporter, so please don't give up."
Amina slowly pushed herself slightly away from Takamina's embrace to look at her. Takamina smiled at Amina, one hand remained on Amina's waist while the other made its way to her cheek, wiping a her tears away.
Takamina looked so ikemen.
"And if you feel the need to just...let it all out...you can count on me. I'd gladly be your shoulder to cry on." A grin crept onto Takamina as she saw the dazed look Amina has. It looked cute. It was like she's contemplating on something....something that's oddly making her lean closer and closer to the ikemen's face...until finally...reaching for its destination.
The ikemen's lips.
Amina is...kissing her!
Takamina's eyes widen as she felt Amina's lips on hers. The latter girl's lips began to move against her making the ikemen freeze, her mind in a jumble as she panics. Should she reciprocate?? Or maybe just stay still?? Or maybe she should push the girl away and run! But...but that'll definitely hurt Amina and well...she doesn't want to hurt her. But...she's kissing her right now! What the hell should she do?! H-how did it...come to this?!!
Luckily, Amina somehow sensed the inner turmoil of the ikemen and pulled away quickly as if realizing what she's doing. Their kiss only took a few seconds.
A few seconds that somehow felt longer for the two.
The two stared at each other. Their eyes wide, their faces beet red at what just happened. Panic seems to surge through them as they continue to stare at each other, unsure of what to do or what to say. It seemed that luck is on their side again as Takamina's phone began to ring, making them jump as it breaks their silence. With her hand shaking a bit, Takamina fished for her phone and answered it.
"H-h-he-hello...?" She stuttered, looking at the ground trying to avoid Amina's eyes. The latter seems to be doing the same thing as she looked at the side, fidgeting at her skirt. She couldn't believe it. She kissed...Takamina! She...she finally did what Takamina said.
She finally let it out.
Her hand slowly made its way to her lips as she remembers the feeling of Takamina's lips. Back then, when Takamina was comforting her in the restroom after she cried her eyes out, Amina had the urge to kiss Takamina when she pulled away from the little captain's embrace. The only thing that made her hold back that urge?
It's the thought of kissing Takamina with a different meaning to it.
She didn't want to kiss Takamina because she wants to thank her, nor did she want to kiss her for fun. No...for her...it was different.
And it scares her that it was different.
Her eyes slowly made its way to Takamina who just finished her phone call. The ikemen froze the moment Amina's eyes met hers.
"We...kissed." Amina whispered as if in awe making Takamina blush harder.
"S-so we have..." Takamina replied, as she looked away from Amina, scratching the back of her neck.
"I...I'm sorry!!" Amina suddenly exclaimed as she bowed, surprising Takamina who looked at her with her eyebrow raised.
"I'm sorry I kissed you! I'm sorry!"
"Uh...you don't need to apologize! Really!" Takamina said as she stepped towards the girl pushing her to stand normally. Amina truly looked sorry at what happened. She could somehow understand the girl but...it felt somehow wrong for Amina to apologize. It didn't feel right for Takamina.
"I just don't know why..."
"It's okay. I think you just...got caught up in the moment." Takamina smiled, her nervousness slowly disappearing as Amina finally looked at her.
"Plus it's not like other members don't kiss me." The ikemen chuckled remembering countless of kisses done to her by other members.
"But I gotta say...your kiss was a lot different from the others. A good different that is." Takamina added softly. Somehow, hearing that made Amina to smile slightly. The two smiled at each other for awhile, happy that despite what happened earlier, they could still smile at each other.
Takamina took a deep breath and placed both her hands to her waist.
"Right. So...Tomochin just called me and said that I should go back to the dressing room so we could rehearse."
"Okay."
"You don't mind me going first...right?" Takamina asked grinning slightly. Seeing that usual grin she has, somehow brought a full a smile on Amina's face.
"I don't mind. Go practice on being the perfect ikemen."
Takamina scoffed.
"I think I have to cross a mountain to be a perfect ikemen. See you later then!" She gave Amina a salute then jogged towards the exit. The ikemen stopped though when Amina called out to her. She turned towards the other girl, confused.
"Thank you, Takamina. For everything." Amina smiled sweetly at Takamina who smiled back.
"Anytime!" With that, the ikemen gave her another salute and ran to where the fasionista is, leaving Amina to stare at her retreating form.
"For me...you already are the perfect ikemen."
***************************"So...what do you think Amina?" Sata asked. The camera and other members turned to her, waiting for her opinion.
"Well, this is just my opinion but honestly, I've never really seen Takamina as a woman.
She's actually my number one on my 'I want her to be my boyfriend' list. So right now, I'm really looking forward to it." Amina smiled, remembering her perfect ikemen.
Her perfect ikemen heard her on the other side, her eyes narrowed at what Amina said about her.
"But I am a woman." She sighs.
