Title: Spending time with you.
Rating: Pg-13?
Summary: Whoa. First crossover fanfic, EVER! This is a Nakai/Tsubasa crossover, SMAP/T&T. Nakai and Tsubasa is my OTP. I love to see them constantly on Utaban. I don't know much about Tsubasa, so please forgive if it doesn't sound convincing. I'm not a great writer, I do this for fun. English isn't my first language - so yeah. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Honestly, I'm more of a het writer. This fanfic contains alot of inside jokes and referances in jpop fandom, so sorry if some stuff seems vague.
Warning: Don't own SMAP. Don't own Tackey & Tsubasa. I do all this for fun.

Utaban had started to become the ultimate boredom for Nakai. Day in and Day out he had to interview those nameless female idols. He loved girls and idols were his softspot, but lately what's being turned out turned him off. They were just getting way to young. Almost every summer came and went and the female idols got year's younger. Or maybe he was older? Either way he didn't like to play the touchy games they did on Utaban with twelve year olds.

"Welllllll. I've got no problem with it!" crackled Takaaki as he rubbed his hands together. Ishibashi Takaaki was Nakai's co-partner in Utaban. The pair have been great friend's from the start. While the two loved baseball almost more than life, Takaaki loved idols even more.

"Oh stop it." Nakai winced as he contiuned to try on hats. He own at least over four hundred. Most given to his as gifts from his fans. He'd bring along with him to the taping at least a dozen, just so he couldpick and chosse at the last minute before the taping. He didn't want to admit to anyone that he was losing his hair. But it was a well known unspoken fact.

"Can't wait for Hello!Project to release something new, it's been far to long..." Takaaki whispered, he was tying his shoes and then his cell phone went off. Glancing at the phone, he looked up at Nakai, "The wife" he sliently mouthed and headed to the back of the room to speak to his wife. Takaaki was a man who loved idols and he married one of the best, Suzuki Honami was a huge personality in the late 80's and while almost in her 40's she still was as feisty as any new upcoming idol to date.

Nakai looked pained. Was it his hats? Was it him? Did he need to go on tour to get out of this restlessness? "Damn. I gotta do something new.."

The producer assistant, a smaller man by the name of Heero rushed into the lobby, to tell them there was a last cancellation.

"Who was it?" Nakai asked not bothering to look up. He didn't really care who it was.

Heero looked over this clip board, "Aa... You know, one of those female groups from Hello Project, said something about an illness."

Nakai snorted, looked over at Takaaki who was still on the phone, "Do we got a back up?"

Heero was almost out the door, "We're making some calls. You break the news to him." Heero pointed at Takaaki and left just as fast as he first came.

Takaaki got off the phone and smiled, "What did Heero want?"

Nakai, "Oh nothing, just your girls couldn't make it today?"

Takaaki screamed, "WHAT? Which girls? Not the young ones?"

"Yes, the young ones." Nakai said as he tried on another hat.

*************

The taping was about to start, neither knew who was going to be the replacement. Nakai didn't care. Takaaki was moody and rushed the workers around him. Nakai slapped him a few times telling him to calm down. "If it makes anything better, we do can review some photobooks?"

"Nooooo. We did that last week, besides I want to save that for when Maki-chan releases a new one!" Takaaki's eyes got huge and he started to drool.

Nakai looked annoyed, "Get over it. She's all nose. Besides she's Tsunku's girl. You know what a freak he is about his girls."

"She's all assssssssss." Takaaki droooled, "Plus that nose. I would kiss it and-"

"GODS! ENOUGH!" Nakai hurled a fake punch which Takaaki avoided.

"Welcome! Please come in!"

Nakai turned around to face who his staff was talking to.

Heero went to greet the newcomer, he was bowing his hand, thanking him for coming on late notice. Nakai broke out in a huge grin. One of his own!

"Hey, Nakai-Sempai!" Tsubasa Imai waved to Nakai. He went close to give him a handshake, while Nakai instead took him into his arms and embraced him and played with
his hair in mock-sempai fashion. "Hey! Sempai! They just did my hair!" Tsubasa laughed and gave a weak wave to Takaaki who took notice this was the replacement, he gave Tsubasa a weak smile and walked off to go grab something to eat.

Nakai turned to Heero who pulled Tsubasa over and spoke to the two over what the episode plan was. Since it was so last minute, the trio would just discuss upcoming music and dream dates. It was a safe topic and something the viewers liked, only because when it came to dates it caused Nakai to literally twich in his seat with anixety. And when Nakai was anxious he gets loud. Safe choice!

Takaaki was eatting as he was called over to go over a run thrown with Nakai and Tsubasa.

After about thirty minutes of going over the plan, it was time to start recording.

****************

Takaaki announced the topic, and Nakai turned red and Tsubasa clapped.

"Now with dates, I'm already married, so I can't date anymore. So the questions go to you two single boys." Takaaki leered at Nakai and Tsubasa. Nakai was still red in the face. Tsubasa seemed indiffernt. He went on tons of dates. He was ready to go!

"Now tell me the truth! How many dates do you go on with Tackey-chan?" Takaaki pointed at Tsubasa who was caught off guard.

"EHHHHHHH? Tackey-chan? We don't date!" Tsubasa said with fake horror.

"Sure you do! Nakai, aren't they liked married?"

Nakai laughed at pointed at the VTR clip that played on the side of the stage that played for viewers at home. It was footage of Tackey and Tsubasa's mock wedding during one of their concerts.

"I think you would wear the wedding dress right?" Nakai said with a laugh.

"With black stockings!" Takaaki threw in.

Tsubasa blushed and waved for the VTR clip to be turned off, "Stop that! Stocking?! But isn't that old fashion?"

"No WAAAAAAY. I hear Shizuka-san wears them all the time for Kimura" Nakai laughed and hoped he wouldn't get in trouble for that comment.

"Aa, but Shizuka-san does have long legs..." Tsubasa thought.

"What? So you like older women?" Takaaki threw at Tsubasa.

"Come on!! This about dating! How about you Nakai, do you like them young like your cost?"

Nakai started to twitch.

Takaaki laughed, "You can't get him to open up about girls! Especially about Shi-zu-ka-saaaaaan" Takaaki said in a sing-song voice.

Nakai turned bright red, "Your going to get me in trouble you guys!!!!!!!!!" Nakai jumped out of his seat, while he could just imagine his staff doing the animation for that point with an animated Kimura Takuya beating Nakai with a baseball bat, while Nakai had big heart-eyes for the leggy Shizuka Kudo.

They went to commericals and Nakai went for a drink. He overheard the staff talking about the animation saying to make sure to give Shizuka Kudo really worried eyebrows, it was her trademark back in her early idol days. Nakai groaned. He was soooooooo gonig to get in trouble for this!

Someone tapped Nakai on the shoulder, it was Tsubasa who had a cup of tea. He gave Nakai a soft smile. "Worried about Kimura-san? I know how private he is about his wife."

"Hahahaha," Nakai gave a weak laugh, "Private isn't the word." He went to refill his drink, but the tea was out. Tsubasa handed over his cup and smiled, "Here, have mine. It isn't too sweet."

Nakai shyly drank it. He watched Tsubasa who looked at him, still smiling. Nakai didn't know what to say, so he said the first thing that came out of his mouth, "You've gotten darker, yeah?"

Tsubasa looked over himself, "I guess, that's what Tackey is always saying. We were in Hawaii shooting a video and I guess I got all the sun. Tackey came back with a sunburn! He should start peeling this week." Tsubasa laughed at the thought of the very vain Tackey peeling.

"When we were in Hawaii, Goro was running into corners just to avoid the wind. He was so worried over his hair." Nakai told Tsubasa, "But it did him no good, humidity is everywhere."

Tsubasa didn't say anything.

******************

"Now what's the one place you like to go on for a date?" Takaaki asked.

Tsubasa raised his hand, "I love to take a girl out dancing!"

"DANCING? Like, you make her dance for you or you make her watch you dance?" Nakai asked, they then showed of VTR clip of Tsuabsa's sexy dance moves. Takaaki did some catcalls and Tsubasa laughed and waved it off.

"Very sexy!" Takaaki did some fake hip thrusting and Nakai laughed.

"Your a very good dancer as well, Nakai-sempai.." Tsubasa whispered to Nakai. Nakai acted shocked and Takaaki screamed, "But he isn't sext. Not like YOU! Isn't that why Johnny's sister likes you so much?" Takaaki proceeded to fake dance and lift up his shirt. Tsubasa and Nakai stared.

"But it is true, isn't it? Your Mary-san's favorite." Nakai had his arms crossed and nodded his head in serious thought.

Tsubasa looked from Nakai who was being serious and Takaaki who still was trying to dance sexy. "But Mary-san likes you as well, your a favorite right?"

"Naaaaaah," Nakai waved the comment away, "Kimura-san is always the favorite, he's the BIG ONE, you know?"

Tsubasa nodded, "Hm.. But I still think you dance better, show me some moves, Sempai?"

Takaaki stopped and waved Nakai to take the floor, Nakai grew red, "Dance? NOW?" Nakai left his seat and went to the center and with the music starting up, he started to do his routine from an old SMAP concert.

"NOT SEXY! NOT SEXY AT ALL!" Takaaki screamed and Tsubasa went to the stage with Nakai and started to follow his steps. Nakai didn't notice and conituned to dance, he then waved his arms and accidently smacked Tsubasa who fell to the ground. Nakai frozed shocked and looked down at Tsubasa who started up at Nakai. Takaaki came over and looked down at Tsubasa, "From here you look like a girl." Takaaki laughed and Nakai helped him up, "Sorry for tripping you." Tsubasa gave a slight bow and the taping stopped and went to commericals.

Takaaki left the stage and Tsubasa was holding on to this left side of his hip. Nakai noticed and pointed at his hip, "Did I hurt you?" Nakai's face was still red and Tsubasa noticed he looked really sincere. He never saw Nakai like this, most of the time Nakai was loud, brash, rushed and just larger than life.

"Just a little." Tsubasa gave a fake wince. "You know Tackey's going to get mad."

Nakai was on his knees and gave Tsubasa's hip a pat, "Sorry, Tsubasa's sexy hip, get better soon, ne?"

Tsubasa laughed, "They won't make it better?"

Nakai looked up at Tsubasa, "And what will?"

Tsubasa thought and then ripped Nakai's hat off his head and ran off as best as he could. Nakai screamed, "My hat!" He felt naked without his hat! He rushed after Tsubasa, the pair not noticng the camera's were recording, "Give it back! Give it back! It's my favorite!" Nakai screamed as Tsubasa hobbled around the studio set, "You have a million more! This one is mine!" He shouted back as he put the hat on.

Nakai caught up and Takaaki came over and said to Tsubasa, "It suits you. Very well! It's yours!"

"But it's MY HAAAAAAAAT!" Nakai cried, he ripped it off Tsubasa's head and put it back on, "Hurt or not, my hat's come first!"

Tsubasa laughed and the taping was finshed.

****************

"That was lots of fun! Thank you so much!" Tsubasa said and bowed to the staff. He was smiling and Takaaki looked bored, "But I think your going to have to come back! We didn't even do the second half of what we planned!"

"Oh, I loved to come back soon! Hopefully with Tackey by my side." Tsubasa smiled and the staff was charmed.

Takaaki excused himself, he was leaving early for a dinner date with his wife and called out to Nakai that he would call him in the morning. Nakai nodded and left back to his office where he could relax. After taping he usually didn't leave until later at night since he really didn't have anyone waiting at home for him. He figure maybe take the train home early. He went to grab his coat when there was a knock on his door, he asked who it was and the door opened with Tsubasa standing in his door way.

Tsubasa smiled, the same big grin he had all day today.

"Sempai I had lots of fun today! I really love coming to tape with you on Utaban." Tsubasa smiled and went to shake Nakai's hand. "I can't wait to tell Tackey all about today!"

Nakai shook his hand and smiled at Tsubasa, "You did some great dancing. I look eager to taping with you in the future!"

Tsubasa bowed to leave but hesitated when Nakai held his gaze. Smiling, "Yes, Sempai?" Tsubasa asked softly, "I'm not really hurt, it was a joke.."

Nakai smiled, "Yeah, I know. I just was thinking how you care for your partner. Tackey is lucky to have you."

Tsubasa shyly smiled, he had his left hand on the back of his head and he tried to play cool, "Well, I think your more lucky because you have 4 other guys with you."

"Yeah, four other guys. But let me tell you, they are a handful! And Kimura thinks he's leader all the time!" Nakai did a fake punch in the air, "Sometimes you gotta lay down the law to let them know their place."

Tsubasa laughed and notice Nakai sat back down. Tsubasa followed his lead and shut the door and sat on the spare chair in the room, "Kimura-san is tough, isn't he?"

Nakai laughed, "Not as tough as me, I just get my baseball bat, and BOOM!" Tsubasa laughed and asked, "Or do you tell on him to Shizuka-san?"

Nakai grew quiet, "I almost never talk to Shizuka-san, she only really speak's to Kimura. They are really close, you know?"

Tsubasa nodded, he didn't know much about their relationship, no one in the business really asked about her but Tsubasa knew the rumors. "Did you really like her?"

Nakai didn't bat an eye, "Sure I did, she was the best girl out there! And that voice!" Nakai did a fake squeaky voice , one Shizuka had that made her famous in the
80's.

Tsubasa laughed, "But she had these legs...... Oh wow..."

Nakai nodded. Both stopped for a moment and thought about Shizuka Kudo in those heels she use to wear when she was young.

"Ok, anyway..." Nakai wanted to change the subject, He could just imagine Kimura throwing a fit if he knew the two of them were sitting around late at night thinking about his wife in her younger days.

Tsubasa coughed, "But she isn't really my type, you know?"

Nakai didn't know what to say to that. He really didn't care what type Tsubasa liked best.

"What kind of girl do you like best? Tsubasa asked Nakai.

"Oh come on, listen don't you have somewhere to be?"

Tsubasa got up from this seat. "I guess I should go.." Tsubasa smiled.

"Stop smiling." Nakai said, "Are you happy all the time?"

"It's just.. I really like spending time with you, Sempai.." Tsubasa smiled.

"I think you should go." Nakai pointed to the door, Nakai studied Tsubasa to see where his intentions lied.

Tsubasa looked to the floor, "I'm leaving, see you soon.."

Nakai watched as Tsubasa left and shouted as he walked off, "I like spending time with you too!You can have my hat!"

Tsubasa turned to look at Nakai; he had a cellphone to his ear, speaking eagerly to someone, probably to Tackey. Tsubasa must not have heard him, because all he did
was give a slight nod and walked off.

Nakai held his hat in his hands and suddenly felt very alone.
