So after months of preparation to make a TakaGaki OPV for Gaki's birthday that idea was squished last week when I realised it was too hard
So think since then I've been trying to think of a fic idea instead and nothing was coming so I gave up... What did that mean? At the very last minute something finally struck me :rolleye: So I apologise for this, it's really rushed and not thought through very well so try to um, ignore that?
It's not how I went to enter the fanfic world, but oh well, it's Gaki's birthday, and a special one at that, so exceptions can be made, right?
Oh and sorry about the lame title, I'm rushed for time (I need sleep) and suck at titles at the best of times
Sooo,
Happy Birthday Gaki-san this is for you

A Memorable Gift
The crisp air of an autumn night in Tokyo swirled around the four beautiful women heading towards the seclusive bar, popular among Hello!Project members. Their laughter and words of excitement drifted in the breeze, carrying to the ears of those passing by, many of which briefly stopping, taking in the site of the recognisable faces.
Finally the time had come for the last of the close friends to reach the stage of adulthood and what better way to celebrate than experiencing her first drink with those who meant the most to her.
“You ready Gaki-san?” Mako grinned as the four girls stopped outside the entrance of a small building, the bright neon light, indicating that they had reached their destination, flickered above the group.
With wide eyes, the birthday girl studied the door before her, not wanting to forget any details of this special night, “I guess so…”. Before another thought was able to cross her mind, Mako clasped her hand around Risa’s wrist and dragged her over the threshold “Ahhh, stop stalling, come ooooon~!”. Giggling to each other, Ai and Konkon joined hands and followed the pair through the entrance, as Risa sent a pleading look to Ai over her shoulder.
The quiet bar soon filled with chants and the clinking of glasses as Morning Musume members, past and present, welcomed their newest drinking buddy with a sea of ‘Happy Birthday’s ringing throughout the small room. “Get yourself over here Niigaki, time to initiate your arse with some solid sake!” A slightly drunken Yuko waved a dark bottle in the direction of the now petrified Risa who had already quickly become overwhelmed by the new, and very rowdy, atmosphere before her.
“Um… We’ll make sure she gets the proper welcoming Yuko… You just stay there, enjoying that bottle… and the chicken breasts.” As always Ai swooped to Risa’s rescue, quickly leading her to a much quieter corner where the other two gokkies were ready and waiting.
Ai sat the still stiff from shock Risa down and slid into the booth beside her as a gentle feeling of calm rushed through the youngest member in the bar; being with these three always made her relax. Konkon grinned proudly and placed a bright green box, decorated with a shimmering silver bow, in front of Risa, “Happy birthday! I wanted to get you something that reminded you of our past together as well as our future”. Now completely at ease, the smiling birthday girl pulled at the ribbon and gently removed the lid from the box, her eyes began to water and her mouth dropped once she saw the contents inside. A photo album stripped in four special colours of green, pink, yellow and blue sat inside, with a photo tightly stuck to the front. As she lifted the album, Risa was able to see the cover more clearly and a lone tear began to leave a wet trail down the soft skin on her cheek. She recognised the photo as the first picture the four had taken together when they all gathered after the announcement of the 5th generation members, pledging to remain together forever.
“I’ve put some of our best memories in there already, but it’s only the beginning, there are still plenty of pages to be filled in that album. Let’s make sure we do, ok?” With those sweet words of explanation from Konkon, Risa jumped to her feet and reached across the table hugging the food loving gokkie tightly, while thanking her for the most thoughtful present she had ever received. Breaking free from the embrace, Risa’s tears began to fall at a faster pace, causing the girl sitting next to her to well up with tears also.
“That’s it… Drinks time you cry-babies!” Mako grinned at the sight before her as a now sobbing Ai tried to wipe away the tears of her best friend, who was becoming slightly concerned at the blubbering mess her leader had become in such a short space of time.
“Order whatever you want Gaki-san, your drinks are on me tonight. Totally tops Konkon’s present, ne?” Mako began to call over the service by waving both arms, causing Konno to slap her while attempting to calm the ever excited gokkie down. Risa was enjoying the entertainment of her favourite couple bickering when she felt the warmth beside her disappear as Ai tried to discreetly sneak off towards the bathroom. Excusing herself to the other pair at the table, who were too immersed in their own little world to notice, Risa headed after her dearest friend.
As she lent forward on the door to the women’s bathroom and pushed it open with her body weight, she noticed Ai leaning against the basin, wiping at her tears while staring blankly into the mirror. “Hey…are you alright?” Risa slowly walked over to the mirror and checked her own make-up,
thank god for waterproof mascara. Slow in reacting, Ai gradually looked over towards her only company “Oh, yeah… I’m fine… Just got a little choked up thinking about everything.”
“Thinking about what?” happy that her make-up was still in place, Risa turned to face Ai, leaning her left side on the cool, white marble of the sink. “Do you think we will really be friends forever?” Ai dropped her head, unsure of where to look as the site of her sub-leader was hurting more than it should at that moment. “Don’t be silly, of course we will be! You won’t be able to get rid of me that easily Ai-chan… Besides, this is my birthday, we’re meant to be having fun!” relieved that it wasn’t something too serious concerning her Ai-chan, Risa grinned as she saw the other’s head rise, “You’re right, this is your day. Time to celebrate!”
“Hey! What did you get me anyway?”
Ai stiffened at Risa’s question, was this really the time, or place, to give her the only present Ai thought could really express how much Risa meant to her? Was she even ready to let the younger know? Suddenly seven years didn’t seem long enough...
With Risa’s curious eyes still searching hers, Ai couldn’t resist the cute expression spread across the face of the birthday girl before her, or the lips that had now curved up slightly into a cheeky smirk, “This…”
Lust filled Ai’s eyes as she stepped closer to Risa, it felt like time had slowed down and everything was moving in slow motion. Risa turned, pressing her lower back against the sink as Ai closed in further, uncertainty taking over her body as her heart quickened it’s pace. Standing only inches away from the younger, Ai stared sincerely into the large brown orbs before her and when Risa’s tongue unconsciously slipped out ever so slightly to moisten her lips, Ai took this as an invitation and closed the small gap between the two.
As Risa felt the warmth of perfectly soft lips press against her own, her knees buckled slightly, partially from shock yet also from pleasure. She felt Ai’s hands cautiously move to her hips, holding her tightly in case her body decided to stupidly give way yet again, but she could still feel the stiffness of her leader as her lips didn’t move. To reassure the one she had been yearning for that this was what she wanted, Risa placed her hands over those holding her close and ran her fingers over the soft skin of Ai’s arms before pulling her closer by snaking her hands around the initiators neck.
Ai felt a jolt of excitement throughout her body from knowing that she had been accepted, and her lips began to caress the plump masterpieces they were connected to. Everything felt so right, as if both their bodies were created for this very moment, to be linked together in this blissful position with Ai’s arms fitting perfectly around Risa’s waist and the latter’s fingers tracing circles on the back of Ai’s neck as their lips moved in a rhythmic motion together.
Time seemed to stop for the pair, yet at the same time it moved too quickly and before Risa had fully comprehended what was happening, Ai pulled away, panting lightly.
Ai took the opportunity to escape when a stunned Risa’s arms fell limp to her sides, leaving the birthday girl alone as the door shut behind the eldest of the gokkies. Bemused by what had just happened, Risa stared at the exit Ai had just taken, but was still unable to move her feet and chase after the one she loved. Slowly her mind began to clear and she was able to control her muscles again, everything felt so surreal yet perfect.
Bringing her fingers up to lightly trace the lips that were just blessed with pure bliss, she whispered to herself breathlessly, “Sorry Makocchin, that tops any... other... present!”
