Hahaha I have the impression the TakAcchan version sucks
Maybe it's because it was one in the morning while I was writing it and I was half asleep... Anyways, here it is! And thank you for the comments ^^
Again, Christmas' coming, so Merry Christmas to all of you
Christmas TakAcchan fanficTakamina stared at the dark sky as snow began to fall. No. In fact, tonight, she wasn’t Takahashi Minami anymore. She was Santa Claus. Or at least, that what she was trying to show to young kids that were walking in the streets with their parents. It wasn’t like this she had planned to spend her December 24th, but she had to admit it was quite funny to laugh with all the children around her. She had accepted this job only because her mother’s friend had asked them, but she would do it again next year with pleasure. She really liked kids. She thought they were funny, trying to take out her false bear and trying to get her attention. She was almost done though and would see Acchan later. They wanted to celebrate Christmas together. If it wasn’t for that job, Takamina would already be with Acchan, but since it was really a last minute decision, she had just called Acchan and told her she would come later because she needed to help her mother’s friend.
“Merry Christmas!” She said to a little kid hidden behind his mother.
He smiled gently, but didn’t come near her. Takamina just wanted to hug this incarnation of cuteness, but stayed immobile, knowing she must not scare hi,.
“Don’t be afraid of me! I’m going to give you a surprise tomorrow!” She added.
The kid’s smile grew a bit as he nodded shyly and left with her mother, sometimes looking back at the strange white and red character. The false Santa Claus laughed behind his beard. It had been like this all the night. Some kids trusted her more than others, but there was always a smile in their face when they left her.
Suddenly, she flinched as she saw Maeda Atsuko staring at her with a strange look. Santa Takamina turned her head in the opposite direction, hoping her friend hadn’t recognized her, but she knew it was too late as the pretended friend began to laugh walking closer in her direction.
“Takamina?” Acchan asked, smirking.
Takamina, not even a bit credible, answered:
“Takamina? Who is Takamina? I don’t know anybody called Takamina. I don’t know what you are talking about right now.”
Acchan tried to hold herself, but burst in laugh a second later.
“I’m Santa Claus right now, call me like that.” Takamina quickly whispered to Acchan.
The face of AKB48 stared at her friend a moment. Since Takamina had large boots, she was almost the same height as Acchan’s. ALMOST.
“Daddy, look, Santa Claus is smaller than this girl!” A boy told his dad. “Isn’t he supposed to be the tallest?”
It made Acchan laughed even louder.
“Stop laughing!”
“I can’t believe you decided to do this job to help your mother’s friend!”
“It’s not funny! It’s just for little children! Stop laughing, I’m loosing credibility!”
“Since when do you have credibility anyway?”
Takamina didn’t answer, knowing she had to be a perfect model to her young public, even though she just wanted to reply something else. Acchan just kept on laughing, unaware everybody was looking at her weirdly. Really, when Takamina had told her she would come later, she had never expected THIS was the reason! It was just priceless.
“Ah, Santa Claus, you’re so cute!”
It was the only thing she could say before starting to die laughing loudly again. She opened her cell phone and quickly took a picture, wondering why the hell she had become friend with someone like Takamina. It would make an awesome post, she knew it.
“Mama, does Santa have a girlfriend?” A little boy asked her mother.
Acchan suddenly stopped laughing, hoping she had heard the wrong thing. When it came to her relationship with Takamina, it was becoming a “dangerous” zone.
“Of course he does! Look how these two have fun together!” The mother said as Santa Takamina, who didn’t like this subject either, just asked him:
““What do you want for Christmas?”
The shy boy walked closer, but hesitated to say something, thinking he must have done a mistake by talking about Santa Claus having a girlfriend. Santa Takamina encouraged him with a huge smile, ignoring Acchan who was starting to laugh again.
“I want my mother to be happy forever.” He whispered in Takamina’s ear.
Even though Takamina wanted to let out a cute “Awwwwww”, she just promised him his wish would come true. After all, a cute “Awwwwww” would not be like Santa Claus at all.
“I want to ask you something too!” A young girl said.
“What do you want from me?” Santa Takamina asked nicely.
“I want to become an idol when I’ll become older!” She said proudly. “Just like the group AKB48! So I will inspire lot of people too!”
Takamina stared at her with astonishment. She was a bit too young to listen to their songs, wasn’t she? But it didn’t matter, she was so cute… and a fan!
“Awwwwww!” Takamina said with a really girly voice.
She secretly said sorry to her credibility, but it was too hard to hold it. That young girl was too cute.
“Um… I mean, I’ll make sure you’ll become an idol later!” She added as Acchan smirked.
Two others kids went to talk with her before Acchan suddenly appeared in front of her, asking with an exaggerate innocent voice:
“Will you give me a gift too, Santa Claus?”
Takamina sighed, knowing she couldn’t joke or be mad at her friend in front of everyone.
“Of course! I’ll give gifts to all nice children!”
“Really?” Acchan said, surprised that Takamina had answered something like this.
Well… maybe it was the right time to play a bit with her… She whispered something into her ear, half serious and half joking. Then, she looked at her in her eyes, her lips forming a cute smile. Takamina was glad she had this huge beard to hide her shyness. There was two different ways to take what Acchan had told her…. Which one was the good? She suddenly heard a loud laugh and turned her head, breaking the eyes contact she had with Acchan. The two girls briefly saw Haruna’s silhouette before the tall girl disappeared, mumbling something they didn’t understand.
“I guess she’s going to Yuko’s house… They must celebrate Christmas together.” Acchan said.
“Tell me she didn’t know it was me…” Takamina asked with an anxious voice.
“Why?”
“Because now you can be sure the members will never look at me the same way if Haruna tell them… My life’s over!”
Her hands covering her face, she felt something pulling her huge red coat. Her eyes moved until she saw a tiny hand hanging on her coat.
“Why are you sad, Santa?” A four years old girl asked.
Embarrassed, Takamina didn’t answer. How stupid she was to make children believing Santa was sad right on December 24th!
“I am not sad!” Santa Takamina said with her smile back. “Come here and tell Santa what you want this year! Have you been nice with everyone?”
Acchan stared at her friend, thinking she was really cute acting like this. Takamina would surely make a great mother. She looked at her cell phone. If everything went well, they would go to her home in about half an hour. Until then… she had time to write about it in her blog, right?

“Finally done!” Takamina said as she took out her costume.
It was really surprising to see how much it was hot inside this outfit. If ever Santa Claus really existed… she admired him to be able to stay the whole night with such a big coat.
“Here some cake.” Acchan said as she gave a small part to her friend.
“Uh?!” Takamina claimed as she saw a mini part of chocolate cake in a plate. She didn’t want to be egoist… but she had never seen someone giving someone else so less food. “Let me guess… You ate everything?”
Acchan looked away as she nodded shyly, even though she knew Takamina would never get mad at her for something like that. Her friend pretended to be mad at her for a second as she finished her part quickly. It was a great cake that Acchan had made herself. Takamina was even surprised Acchan hadn’t eaten everything. They talked together all night, joking about what Haruna and Yuko would do together, sharing pictures, drinking with “moderation” and remembering great times. Takamina didn’t want this moment to end. She had never felt so good with Acchan. There was nothing that could break the way she felt now.
“Look, it’s midnight!” Takamina said “It’s officially Christmas.”
“It’s nice we’re able to celebrate it together!” Acchan answered. “I wished the others were here too though… Next year, it’s going to be a huge party!”
“What, you don’t like being only with me?” Takamina joked as she laughed a bit.
Acchan smirked, looking straight at her.
“Of course I like it. Remember what I asked you for Christmas?”
Takamina knew she was blushing even before she could say her answer. Acchan laughed as she saw how shy Takamina was. It wasn’t so much she had asked her after all! Could it be… Could Takamina take it the wrong way? Oh. That would be funny.
“So, when will you give me my gift, Santa?” Acchan asked, moving closer to Takamina.
Takamina avoided her, playing with her at the same time. Everything seemed to be like a joke with Acchan. She could never know when she was serious or not. Sometimes, it was nice, sometimes, like now, it was bothering her.
“Um… never?” Takamina asked.
“Wrong answer.” Acchan smirked, still trying to get closer to her friend.
Takamina flinched. What was going on with Acchan? Oh no, please, it couldn’t be… alcohol? No, Acchan wasn’t drunk. Or at least, she didn’t seem to be drunk. Well, in fact, her friend had always been a bit player with everyone, so Takamina couldn’t help but smile as she knew it was probably just another thing about this. It was becoming dangerous.
“Okay!” Takamina said, still moving apart but smiling. “I’ll come back in a minute, wait please!”
And the small captain went in another room, searching for something. Acchan sighed. It wasn’t funny without Takamina by her side. Her friend was the only one that made her act natural. She didn’t need to be anybody else than Maeda Atsuko with her. She didn’t need to play a role, like she sometimes did with others members. She was herself. And right now, her inner voice was telling her it was Christmas. Christmas, also called “lovers holiday”. It wasn’t a coincidence she had finally managed to spend Christmas ALONE with Takamina. It was because she had planned it. She had told the others members she couldn’t see them, she had asked Takamina’s family to let her go for December 24th and made a family diner the next day instead.
In fact, Acchan had planned everything to make this night as perfect as possible. But, of course, her friend didn’t need to know about it, right?
“I’m here!” Takamina said as she appeared in the living room doorway ten minutes later.
Acchan let out a scream of surprise. Takamina had wrapped herself like she was a giant Christmas gift. She also had the huge ribbon on her head to go with everything. She even had pieces of paper covering her face. She really had become a huge Christmas gift. She was a human gift.
“What are you doing?!” Acchan laughed as she went by her side, trying to tear up the paper.
Takamina’s face suddenly popped out the paper, even though he head was still covering by red and green silk pieces.
“Are you insane?” Acchan asked, half serious.
She found Takamina really cute, unable to move with her new outfit, as funny to watch as Santa Claus one. It made her wondering how Takamina had managed to wrap herself like that. They both stared silently a bit at each other before Takamina shyly broke the awkward silence.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to have me for Christmas’ gift?” Takamina asked, slightly shaking her head to make the ribbons falling on the floor.
Acchan blushed, knowing that Takamina had probably done something like this exactly because she didn’t want to think about another way to understand this wish. She hesitated to say anything, especially since she knew if she did something, nothing would ever be the same. But then again, she remembered how much effort she had put in order to plan everything to have a perfect celebration with her friend, how she had lied to some others members, how she wanted to tell Takamina about her feelings since so long time. So, she smiled back.
“Stupid…” she whispered as she walked by her side.
And before Takamina could answer anything, she softly kissed her, removing the paper on her friend’s head by passing her hand through her long hair. She felt Takamina flinching a bit before her friend answered shyly at what she was doing. From a shy and awkward beginning, they both gained confidence as they became sure of how to act, like they had both waited for this moment since a very long time.
They broke apart, searching for some air to breathe. Acchan slightly smiled as she saw a really shy wrapped Takamina standing in front of her, knowing she had finally got the Christmas gift she had wanted since almost a year.
