Chapter 8

It was only an hour before Fuji had to start his first day at the club. He was standing in front of the closet, not sure what he should wear. He took a pair of tight jeans, that was always good. He also took one of the dress shirts. He pulled it on and started to button it. He didn't bother to button the top buttons, leaving them open. He took a black tie and tied it around his neck. Not too tight, he let it hang lose.

Fuji took his comb and combed his hair, making it straight and soft. When he thought he looked good enough, he took his sneakers and put them on. The white shoes looked good with his white shirt. He stepped out of his room and walked towards Eiji's. He knocked on the door and soon the redhead let him in.

'Fuji, you look amazing!' said Eiji surprised. Fuji never really bothered to look good around the others, but for his work tonight he had specially dressed up.

'Do you think the guests will like it?' Fuji asked. He wasn't so sure about it yet. Maybe it was too much. 'Should I button my shirt all the way up?'

Eiji laughed. 'I think most of the guests will prefer it if you keep it like this, but maybe some will like it a little too much.'

Fuji smiled. 'You are around to keep them away from me, ne?'

Together they left the room and went downstairs. Some of the others were already there. Tezuka was already behind the bar, preparing things.

'Have you seen...' he started when Fuji and Eiji entered, but he stopped when he noticed Fuji's outfit. 'It looks good on you, but if the guests start to harass you in any way, even if it's just wit words, I want you to button your shirt up further than that.'

Fuji nodded. 'Alright.'

'Have you seen Yukimura?' asked Tezuka, finishing his question, still keeping his eyes on Fuji's clothes.

'I think he was almost done,' answered Fuji with a smile. He liked how he could even make guys like Tezuka stare at him longer than was appropriate.

Fuji and Eiji sat down on one of the couches, both with a non-alcoholic drink. They talked a little and a few minutes later the doors were opened and a few men entered the club.

Inui and Yanagi were one of the firsts to come in and they immediately walked to the table where Fuji was sitting.

'So, today is your first day,' started Inui.

'Interesting,' said Yanagi. 'We're looking forward to getting to know you better.'

Fuji smiled. 'Same for me. I'm looking forward to it. You are Inui-san, right, and you are Yanagi-san? I heard a few things about you.'

They talked for a while about the work of the two guests. They explained what they were doing, not really expecting Fuji to understand. But Fuji wasn't stupid. He understood more of it than most others. Eiji had listened for a while, but got bored. So when some other guests arrived he went to the bar to speak with them.

'Interesting data,' said Inui. 'You are a very smart young man. Let me give you a drink.'

'Sounds good,' said Fuji, smiling friendly.

Inui took a small bottle from his bag and Fuji remembered what Tezuka had warned him for. The vegetable juices. Nobody knew what the ingredients were, but everybody knew it tasted disgusting. Fuji wasn't sure if he wanted to try, but he was sure he wouldn't be able to escape.

'Try this, it's good for your health.' said Yanagi. 'One of the things we made in the laboratories.

Fuji looked at the bottle. It had a weird green colour, but that was to be expected from vegetables. 'What is inside it?' he asked, hoping he might get an answer, but neither of the men said anything.

'Alright, I would like to try it,' said Fuji, gathering all his courage. He opened the bottle, put it at his mouth and drank. It wasn't as disgusting as he had thought. The others had all fled the room after they drank it, but Fuji thought it tasted rather good.

'Tastes good!' he said when he finished the bottle. 'You two really made this? You should sell it in the supermarket. I'm sure it will be a hit!''

Inui and Yanagi both took a piece of paper out of their pockets and unfolded it.

'Disgusting' said the one Yanagi was holding.

'Mildly disgusting' said the one Inui was holding.

'Seems like you were both wrong,' said Fuji with a grin on his face. 'That means you both lost this bet!'

'We'll buy you a drink,' said Inui.

'Thank you,' answered Fuji. 'Inui-san, if you buy me a drink now, Yanagi-san can buy me a drink next time. I can't drink too much alcohol in one evening, right? That would be unhealthy.'

'S...sure,' answered Inui. The two had wanted to give Fuji just one drink from the two of them, but Fuji was smarter than that. They had both lost and they would both have to pay!

'Blue Curacao with Seven up,' said Fuji as Inui stood up to get it. A few moments later Inui returned with the bright blue drink. Fuji took it from him and sipped from it. It had always been the only alcoholic drink he ever drank. Not because he liked it so much, it wasn't bad, but he preferred non-alcoholic, but more because it looked good with his eyes and in clubs he managed to attract a lot of attention with it.

Fuji talked for a little longer with the two scientists. They explained a little about the different drinks they made. All the drinks were good for one's body in a different way. They wanted to use the drinks as some kind of medication, instead of pills, but the taste had scared most people away.

'So what kind of medication was the one I drank?' asked Fuji. 'Not Viagra or something I hope.'

'No, but maybe we should give you that next time. This one was just a regular drink, not medical. One of the first drinks we made. It's good for your health, you get all the vitamins you need with that drink.'

'I could use that,' said Fuji. 'I'm completely healthy, but if I ever need medication I will definitely will ask the two of you to turn my medication into such a delicious drink.'

'You drank it?' asked Eiji in horror. 'You drank one of their drinks? Didn't Tezuka warn you for it?'

Fuji smiled at his friend. 'He did, but I wanted to try it anyway. And I'm glad I did. It tasted very good. I can recommend it.'

'Are you drinking one of their drinks now?' asked Eiji as he pointed to the blue drink in Fuji's glass.

Fuji shook his head. 'No, Tezuka made this one. It's safe, don't worry.'

Yanagi offered Eiji one of their drinks, but he escaped, saying he didn't even want to be close to the gross things. Fuji continued talking with the two men, enjoying their company. They were fun to talk to. When it was around closing time Momoshiro had to send them away. After cleaning up a little everybody went back upstairs again. Tezuka stopped Fuji.

'You did well,' he said. 'Inui and Yanagi were enjoying themselves. Normally they never stay until closing time. What did you think of it?'

'Interesting,' answered Fuji. 'I can't wait to meet more people.'

Inui and Yanagi seem like such Terror Team... it's really a nice touch having them betting over the drinks. Thanks for the update!

Haha, they are a terror team, but Fuji can handle that! XD
Thank you!

Tezuka is adorable. I'm glad Fuji's first day went well. Hopefully he won't have too much troubles with the customers or if any of them get too stalkerish. Although I'm sure Tezuka would jump in to save him. :D. It would be scary if one should make Tezuka angry, lol.

Haha, it is definitely scary to make Tezuka angry. And he is behind the bar, so he has bottles and glasses as weapons if necessary! The guests better don't get too close to Fuji!

I like it that Tezuka still staring at what Fuji's wearing when he asked about Yukimura. I wonder did Fuji notice it?

Thanks for the update! I can't wait to see Fuji meeting more people as well :)

Lol, Fuji can be very smart when it comes to things like that, but since it's the stoic Tezuka he might not think anything of it XD

Thank you! I'll try to update soon
