Chapter 20
The first time Fuji sang was the first night Ohtori was taking a look at the club. He sat behind the bar with Tezuka and watched how the others were doing. It reminded Fuji of the time he had been sitting there. It seemed so long ago, but it hadn't been more than a few months. It had only been a few weeks before Fuji had gotten used to the life with the others in the big house, but Ohtori had more problems. Like they had guessed he was really shy and he hardly spoke. He had been too scared to try to escape and Fuji felt a little sorry for him. He wondered if Ohtori was suited to do their job. He found it hard to talk to people he didn't know.
Fuji was talking with Sengoku when Tezuka gave the sign that it was time for him to get on stage. Fuji excused himself. Sengoku didn't want him to leave yet, but Fuji said he had a special surprise for tonight. He climbed on stage and took the microphone.
'Gentleman,' he said. Tezuka had started the music. 'Tonight it's my turn to finally perform for you. I hope you will enjoy it.'
The music went on and then Fuji started singing. He had chosen a nice and quiet song, like Tezuka had asked him. All eyes in the club were on him. Secretly Fuji loved all the attention. He loved the surprised and happy faces. Especially Sengoku's face. He probably hadn't expected that Fuji could sing like this.
The song was over too soon and Fuji already missed it. He smiled and thanked everybody for their loud applauding. He bowed for them and wanted to get off the stage when the second song started playing. Surprised he looked at Tezuka, but Tezuka simply nodded. The reaction of the guests had been good, so he could sing his second song as well. It had a little more rhythm and it was a little more upbeat than the previous song.
Fuji started singing again and moving his body a little. He noticed that others were doing the same while they sat in their chairs. He could see how his colleagues wanted to dance to the music and he hoped Tezuka would allow the third song as well. Fuji sang and smiled. He wouldn't mind doing this more often!
When the song ended Sengoku stood up and applauded. Some others followed his example and did the same.
'More!' shouted the redhead. He loved to see Fuji perform and he didn't have enough yet.
Fuji looked questioning at Tezuka, trying to convince the other with a sweet smile. He knew that never worked on Tezuka, but he could try. Everybody, including Fuji, cheered when the third song started playing. Immediately the employees stood up from the chairs and couches and jumped on stage next to Fuji, right at the moment he started singing. They all danced to the music, enjoying themselves.
Sengoku had walked to the stage and was dancing as well. He was accompanied by Kajimoto, Shiraishi and Oshitari. There were also some guests Fuji didn't know. They didn't visit often, but they seemed to enjoy themselves a lot. He could see Inui and Yanagi scribble things down. They were having another bet.
Fuji tried to move as well as he could between the others. The stage was small and with the four of them dancing, they often bumped into each other, but it seemed nobody really minded. He was just glad Mizuki didn't join them. He had left as soon as Fuji had started singing.
Too soon the third song ended as well. The cheering was louder this time and some of the guys who had been dancing whistled to show that they had loved the show. 'We want more!' they shouted and laughed.
Fuji didn't have any more songs, so Tezuka played a CD with songs that had the same tempo and rhythm as the last song. Fuji and the others jumped off the stage and mixed with the guests, dancing with them and dancing with each other. Gakuto climbed back on the stage and danced a solo, earning cheers from the others. When Gakuto was done, Eiji did the same, trying his best to be better than his rival. After a minute or something Nioh jumped on stage and told Eiji to get out of his way. He showed his dancing skills as well. When he finished his solo dance he pulled Fuji on stage and left it himself. Fuji moved smoothly, swayed his hips. He made sure not to dance too sexy. Tezuka had warned him some people might like it a little too much and he didn't want anything like he incident with Nanjiroh to happen again.
Sengoku whistled loudly and he beckoned Fuji to get down again. Fuji danced with the redhead, but made sure he wouldn't come too close. Everybody immensely enjoyed themselves, even the once who weren't dancing. Tezuka never sold more drinks than ever that night. The rich men took off the jackets of their expensive suits because they were too hot. They took off their ties and unbuttoned the top buttons of their shirts. They all danced, and sang and enjoyed themselves, not caring about the world.
The party went on longer than normally. Momoshiro had joined them and they closed the club when people became too tired and had to go home. It was almost six in the morning. Some people were tipsy, others were completely wasted, but they all had a wonderful time.
