Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. I do not know Gackt. I do not make any money from the writing of this story. |
A/N: Hey all! I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to update. Things have been kinda crazy here lately. My sister (my biological sister) got married to her boyfriend and they've been living with us, so it's been a bit crazy. But, here, at last, is not one but TWO new chapters. This particular chapter is very long. So long that I decided to split it into two seperate chapters.
Again, thanks to all of you who have reviewed so far and been patient for the next part of the story! You guys are the best! One thing I wanna point out is that since I found that the romanji spelling of Gackt-sama's name is 'Gakuto' I'll be spelling it that way the remander of the story. The song for this chapter is 'Desert Rose' by Sting. Enjoy!
Chapter 6: The Date (Dinner)
"Chill, Gakkun. What could possibly go wrong?" Chachamaru asked from his end of the phone line.
The vampiric idol was early, as usual, and Chacha and the others had called to tease until 'Cinderella' arrived for dinner. He was dressed in a black tuxedo, his hair styled back but basically normal. Gackt sighed a little but chuckled. "You could call me again when I'm eating." Gackt answered with a hint of sarcasm.
"Nooooo. We wouldn't do that." The guitarist joked. "Somehow I don't believe you." The idol said laughing a little.
"How long have you been waiting. More importantly, what did you decide to wear?" Iago asked.
"I've not been here long, half an hour at the most. As for the outfit, it's a formal tuxedo. I'm going casual this evening." Gackt answered his friend.
"Casual? Says the man who can wear anything from the past 4-500 years." Ju-Ken called out over the phone with a laugh. "Watch it Ju-Ken." The vocalist warned him, still laughing.
"It's almost 7, so she should be there soon." Iago noticed. Gackt nodded on his side of the line. "Right, and when she gets here, no interruptions. That means you, Chacha-san."
"Of course you single me out." Chacha said with fake annoyance. "Well you have been calling me almost hourly today to check up on me." The idol said laughing a little more.
A taxi pulled up to the restaurant a moment later, a familiar face stepping out. Quinn felt her insides doing somersaults as she paid the driver and got out. She'd gotten some highlights in her hair, her nails painted a soft pink that almost matched perfectly with her light rose pink colored dress, and a pair of silver high heels to give her at least another inch of height.
When the singer of her dreams looked over his shoulder, he slowly spun around to take in the full view of her beauty in that gorgeous attire. "Gakuto? Gakuto-san?" Chacha's voice echoed on the phone. "I'll call later..." He said simply before hanging up and slowly walking up to her. "Calliway-chan?" Quinn nodded, blushing as he walked towards her.
A smile formed on his lips. "You look incredible." The idol complimented her, bowing to her. The blonde blushed some more at his words, bowing from the waist in respect for his customs.
When he stood straight again, he offered his hand to her to lead her inside. "Shall we go in?" The American girl nodded a few times. Gackt gently took her hand in his, taking her inside the doorway. The outside of it was like a movie premiere, people on either side of the entrance calling out in squeals of glee before the idol. 'Oh gods... I'm never going to survive this night...' Quinn thought.
The outside was screams and squeals, the interior was calm and serene. Ambient music was playing around the room filled with people eating fine native cuisine. "I hope this isn't much of an atmosphere change." He said to her, guessing this would be her first time in a place like this. "No no. It's fine." She said calmly. The singer led them to their table, a waiter placing a bucket of champagne buried in ice on their table as well as a set of lit candles.
'Oh gods... Candles, champagne... what's next? A dozen red roses? No! Don't jinx it!' She yelled in her mind. Her prediction was half right, roses did in fact come next, but just a single, yet beautiful rose handed to her by the vampiric singer. "For you..." She blushed as she took the flower from him. "Arigato."
Gackt smiled to her beautifully, a smile that had won him many fans over the years. "I'm glad you could come tonight." "It... was a nervous day... I almost lost my nerve to come." She admit to him. He chuckled a little. "Well, your courage is admirable for showing up in the end."
Quinn nodded and sat down, her heart still pounding in her chest rapidly.
The singer sat down opposite her, still smiling to her. "By the way, how did your friend's interview with Hikaru-chan go?" He asked making casual conversation.
Quinn chuckled a bit. "Oh... He has a few good memories, I'm sure." "I hope he behaved himself after all." Gackt joked.
"I'm sure he did. He may act like Jiraiya, but he knows when to be a gentleman." She thought about what she said and then felt like sticking her head in the fish tank in the front of the restaurant. Gackt covered his mouth to stifle a laugh, chuckling at that comment. "I see, he must be quite a funny person to be around." "I'm so sorry... I try to keep my anime loves away from work..." She said, feeling like a prize idiot.
"It's quite alright. It's kind of funny really, I like that." The singer said recovering from his laughter and smiling again. "It brings me back to when I played Genesis."
Quinn covered her mouth and nose with her hands to hide her growing blush and smirk. "Re-really?"
Gackt nodded to her. "Yes. It does." He said smiling to her again. "I... actually played Dirge of Cerberus, and beat it, and got the secret ending..." She slowly admit. "Oh? Then I guess you saw my scene then." He said to her, his elbow on the table and his chin in his hands.
The blonde just nodded slowly. "Hai..." "It was quite an honor to have a character based off myself put into the game, I was very surprised I admit." Gackt told her.
She smiled a bit and lowered her hands. "Um... I heard you... were in a movie with Hyde-san. What was that like?"
"It was very interesting. It felt like making music videos was nothing compared that experience." The idol answered her question with a smile. Quinn nodded then felt her stomach growling. "Um... would you mind helping me read the menu?" She asked. "Of course I don't mind." He answered with a little laugh, leaning over the table a little to help her.
After figuring out the majority of the menu, Quinn decided on her meal and thanked her 'date' for helping her. "Speaking Japanese is no problem." She said, having been speaking in Japanese the whole time. "Reading it... Not so easy."
Gackt smiled to her more. "It's a little difficult to get used to for foreigners."
Quinn tried to talk about normal things, such as hobbies that they did and how they hung out with friends. She took a sip of her champagne. "Actually, when I was in college, some of my girlfriends and I created our own drinking game." She said with a smirk. "Is that so? Alright, how did you play it?" The curious singer asked, raising an eyebrow.
"You need a lot of drinks, and a deck of cards. We started to call it 'Secret or Shot'. You shuffle the deck and then each 'player' draws one card at a time on their turn. The lower the number, the 'smaller' the secret you have to tell. The higher the number, the deeper, darker and even more erotic the secret. If you can't think of one, or you refuse to tell one, you have to take a shot."
Gackt chuckled a little darkly. "Ooooh I see..." He said smirking too. Quinn just nodded. "It's a great thing for parties." She joked. 'Now I want to play.' He thought to himself looking at her but didn't dwell on that for too long.
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire
Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire
She looked up, hearing a song that she actually knew come on towards the dance floor. “I know this song.” She said with a soft smile. “Do you want to dance?” He asked her gently, standing up from his seat and holding a hand out to her. Quinn was reluctant at first to take his hand, but she slowly placed her hand into his hand he led her out to the dance floor, pulling her body close to his gently. She didn’t seem to care about the other customers as they watched the star lead this obviously foreign girl out onto the dance floor.
This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems
The blonde let him lead her into a slow dance that made her remember the slow dances back in high school and college. This was exactly the same. No real movements. Just the simple swaying of the body as they held the other’s hands.
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love
His sense of smell felt intoxicated as he breathed in her scent. Her hair smelt like roses, her body like sakura blossoms and roses. The same scent that he would always smell after his dreams of her. He smirked mentally, actually recognizing the song and remembering the title of the song as they danced. Her form was slender and her skin was soft and warm. His fangs began to ache, hearing the blood pumping in her veins just as clearly as the music they danced to.
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all
This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall
When the song ended, the dates’ dinners arrived at their table. "This looks good." Quinn said, examining her plate. "It tastes better." Gackt said with a grin before eating. He'd been here many a time but never with a date. She clapped her hands and thanked the gods for her food before starting to eat. "You're right." She said with a mouthful, giggling. The singer couldn't help but notice how adorable she looked even for a 24 year old woman. Those few child-like nuances were good to see.
"Oh gods... I'm sorry. I love seafood." Quinn said, dipping some calamari in soy sauce. "Heheh, no need to apologize. I do too." Gackt said doing the same.
"You're really being way too nice." She said after swallowing her mouthful. "Most guys who take me on dates just take me to a fast food place."
"Well... I don't mean to brag but I'm not most guys." He said trying not to sound vain. "That's for sure." She said, her ocean blue eyes shining in the lights from the candles.
Those eyes of hers seemed so beautiful... and they were. Though she did have adorable child-like qualities, she definitely had the look of a woman that any man would be lucky to be with.
"Really... Thank you." She said. "I understand that my boss had to pull strings to get this meeting for the interview in the first place."
Her date chuckled a bit. "Yes, Michael-san did tell me that his 'star reporter' had been longing to come to Japan for some time." He said to her with a smirk.
Quinn blushed again, pushing some hair behind her ear. She looked down at her bag, having brought her laptop with her just in case she needed something quickly. And possibly working on her article some more.
"Speaking of your job, how are you doing so far?" He asked her. "On the article?" She asked. "Yes, I'm curious is all." Gackt said. "Halfway done." She said, nodding slightly. Her date smiled. "That's good. I can't wait to see it published." "Me either." The blonde said with another nod. The idol loved looking at her softly, unable to pry his gaze from her.
"That was amazing. I'm absolutely stuffed." Quinn said as she finished her food. "As am I. A fine meal." Gackt said afterwards. "Shall we go then?" She asked. "Yes. But I wouldn't want our night to end so soon... So how would you like to come back to my place for a while?" Gackt asked her. "Excuse me?" Quinn asked, blushing. The singer chuckled and leaned a little closer. "I said 'would you like to come back to my place?'" He repeated. "S-s-sure..." She said, still blushing.
"Excellent." He said as he left the bill and tip on the table and stood up slowly.
Quinn stood up as well, feeling her heart pounding in her chest again. "Shall we then? Kuinnu-chan?" He asked her with a soft smile.
The reporter felt her entire body turn red with embarrassment. "I... Hai..." She said, picking up her purse and following. Gackt could tell from looking at her how she was feeling right now, that blush was a dead give away, but played coyly and made as if he didn't notice before taking her hand in his.
'He's... He's teasing me!' She noticed. Her date smirked slightly as he led her back outside the building, a stretch limo was outside waiting for them.
"Wow... Is… Is that our ride?" She asked him. "Indeed it is Kuinnu-chan." Gackt said smiling more. "You don't mind do you? I heard Mimi-chan call you that a few times after you left." Quinn shook her head. "Not at all... Gakuto-sama..." She said, blushing some more, if that was possible at this point.
He smiled softly again, hearing her say his name like that, otherwise only heard in his dreams. "I'm glad." He said faintly before opening the door and helping her inside.
The blonde stepped into the limo, smiling as she made herself comfortable inside.
Gackt sat down next to her, sitting comfortably too and gazing that soft gaze that was slowly becoming second nature.
*****************
"Ah we're here." The Prince of J-pop said looking up at his home when the car came to a stop close to ten minutes later. Quinn nodded and looked at him again, blushing.
The door to the limo was opened by the driver, the idol offering Quinn his hand to help her out of the vehicle. The blonde girl smiled as she took his hand and helped her out, grabbing her purse from the limo.
Gackt led her back inside the mansion. With the late hour it was a little bit dark but the candles around the rooms gave a warm glow to each room. It was obviously empty and the last of his staff would have gone home hours ago. "I heard that you liked candlelight over electric. I guess it was true." The reporter said as she followed him through his home. "I do indeed. It just makes the place feel more natural than electrics lights do. It has a better atmosphere too." He said to her smiling softly as they went into the lounge.
She blushed again and followed him. "Your home is absolutely beautiful, Gakuto-sama..." The singer smiled a bit wider. "I'm honored to hear your compliment."
Quinn sat down on a sofa and felt her cheeks turning crimson as she put her laptop bag down. Her date looked at the time. It was only a little past 9 o’clock. “Kuinnu-chan? Would you like to have some fun?” He asked.
