Chapter 19
'Can you sing?' asked Tezuka to Fuji. Fuji looked surprised at the tall bartender. He wasn't sure if had heard things correctly. Did Tezuka really ask him if he could sing?
'A little,' answered Fuji. 'Why do you want to know?'
'You know every weekend one or two of the guys perform. Gakuto and Eiji do their acrobatics or they dance. Nioh plays funny tricks on people. He can be like a stand-up comedian if he wants to. We once asked Mizuki to sing, but that wasn't a very good idea. His dancing wasn't the best either. Yukimura could sing, so we need a replacement for him. Since Ohtori is not ready to work here yet I want to know if there is anything you can do?'
'I can dance a little as well,' said Fuji. 'I learned when I worked as a bartender.'
Tezuka looked disapproving. 'I'm not sure if it's a good idea to make you dance in front of all these men. They might like it a little too much.'
Fuji grinned. 'Still acting like the knight in shining armour to protect my virginity!'
'Go on stage and sing a little,' said Tezuka, not paying attention to the things Fuji said. The club was still closed for at least half an hour. They had been preparing things for tonight, so there was still time for Fuji to show what he could do. He climbed on the stage, took the microphone and asked Tezuka to start some music. Luckily Fuji knew the song and he started to sing along with it when it started.
Tezuka listened to it. The others who were around listened as well. Fuji had lied about being able to sing a little. He could sing good. More than good. Fuji had a nice soft voice, which suited the atmosphere of the club. A voice that could make people smile, but could also make them cry.
When the song was over, Tezuka forgot to turn off the radio. So the next song started to play, a song with a faster rhythm. Fuji smiled and started to sing along with that one as well. He danced on the rhythm of the music while he sang at the same time. Nioh stood up, jumped on the stage and started to dance with him. Eiji and Gakuto didn't want to be left behind and climbed on the stage as well, showing off their dancing skills. They danced until the song was over. Tezuka turned off the radio this time. The guys on stage laughed together and complimented each other's dancing skills.
They all got off the stage, except for Fuji. He was looking at Tezuka wondering what the other thought of his singing and dancing.
'He will sing?' sounded Mizuki's voice suddenly. He was always late and he had just entered the club. He noticed Fuji on the stage with a microphone in his hand and he didn't like it. 'That lousy girl-like thing will sing while I am not allowed to?'
'Yes,' answered Tezuka. 'He just sang for us and it sounded good. It suits the club, so he is allowed to perform this weekend. Fuji, I want you to think about the songs you want to sing. You can chose three. Give me the names and artists of the song and I will make sure you can sing these songs this weekend.'
'What style did you like more? First or second?' asked Fuji, a teasing smile on his face. He knew Tezuka liked the first better. It was calm and like the music that was often played in the club. But all the others liked the second style much better. They had enjoyed the dancing and wouldn't mind performing together with Fuji at all.
'Chose two quiet songs, of the 'first' style,' answered Tezuka. 'You can pick on that is a little faster. If the guests are responding well to the first two songs we will see if we also do the third one.'
'Maybe we can make them dance,' said Gakuto. He loved dancing and he was disappointed that he hardly got the chance to dance in this club. He always said he would start working at a different club as soon as he paid off his debt. He would love to see the guests of this club dance as well, even though they were all rich and stiff people.
'That will not be our intention,' warned Tezuka. 'If they want to dance, they will dance, but I don't want them to feel forced. So don't try to make them dance against their will. If we play the third song you are allowed to dance, even on stage, but don't make any of the guests feel uncomfortable. Nioh, I don't want to see you touching Fuji while you're dancing.'
Nioh grinned. He had taken his chance to stand close to Fuji when they were with the four of them on the small stage.
'Now all prepare yourself. The doors will be opened within ten minutes.'
'Wait!' said Mizuki. 'What about me? Am I still not allowed to sing?'
'No,' answered Tezuka. 'Your singing wasn't good enough. All of the others perform, showing one of their skills. As soon as we found your skill you can perform as well.'
'Let me make their outfits then,' said Mizuki, still not leaving the bar.
'No way!' said Fuji. 'I'm never going to wear anything you made.'
'Stop it, now, both of you,' said Tezuka strictly. 'Mizuki, Fuji, take your place, I don't want to see you fighting in front of the customers.'
