A/N: I know I should update The Newlywed's Night; my laptop crashed for 3 weeks consecutively (as in 'repaired and crashed, repaired again and crashed again and repaired again and again and crashed again and again') and I had to rewrite everything all over again (since my laptop had been reformatted - poor me…). This fic was produced in the midst of my confusion and stressful evening yesterday. Therefore, to The Newlywed's Night fan, I hope this fic could heal your frustration for a while.
This fic is best read with the aid of the song "I Need a Hero" – Bonnie Tyler version (not the Shrek II ones). You can d/load it at my profile if you don't have it… XD
Warning: Insanity… and suggestive adult theme, as well as tons of grammatical mistakes. (this fic is not beta-ed).
Fuji Needs a… Hero?
It was a dinner function, in which most of the prominent school in Kantou High School Tennis League had been invited to join. The eating session had long finished and the ceremony was nearing the end. Overall, the function was a formal and boring ones…
…until one tennis player from the Seishun High stepped onto the stage.
Fuji Syuusuke stood there up on the stage, looking serene and calm. For a sudden, a catchy intro of an unrecognized retro song boomed the speaker. He snapped his fingers to the beat.
"Doo doo doo doooo…."
"Aaaah" sang the background singer and his eyes snapped open, revealing hypnotized blue orbs, and he started singing, his microphone in his left hand.
"Where have all the good men gone…
And where are all the gods?"
He took a couple of steps towards the front of a stage, hip swaying and slim legs crossing each other like Pussycat Dolls, which earned a loud whistles from the crowd.
"Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?..."
The other tennis players nodded their heads according to beat, the song was not that bad and Fuji was definitely an awesome singer since he could control his vocal efficiently. Even Kamio Akira started to dance since he was 'in the rhythm'.
"Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?"
"Late at night I toss and I turn and I dream of what I need…" he hugged himself and turned around and tossed his head like the lyrics implies.
Then he did something unexpected. He jumped down the stage and walked towards the nearest table, the Fudomine's.
"I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night"
Then he caressed Ishida's shoulder while singing "he's gotta be strong…"
…rubbed Kamio's chest, "and he's gotta be fast…"
"and he's gotta be fresh from the fight…" and he tilted Tachibana's chin upwards and smirked sexily.
Then he turned around and resumed his singing
"I need a hero…
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light…"
Then he tapped Ibu Shinji's nose "He's gotta be sure…"
He then ran towards the next table and ruffled Jiroh's hair, which earned him a huge grin and sparkling eyes "and it's gotta be soon…"
And he leaned against Kabaji's wide strong chest since the latter happen to be standing up, "And he's gotta be larger than life…" then Fuji turned his body and slide his back against the huge tennis player seductively, "Larger than life…"
He resumed his catwalk around Hyotei's table, touching and rubbing and caressing several of its members on his plight. He also managed to changed his barrette with Gakuto's Queen Hat (don't ask me why he's wearing that), and pinched Ootori's nose playfully, at the same time earning a glare from Shishido.
"Somewhere after midnight…" he stopped beside a smug Atobe, staring into his grey, grey eyes,
"In my wildest fantasy…" and caressed the diva's right cheek. Then he took a few steps back, releasing the smooth handsome face,
"Somewhere just beyond my reach…" and he turned around, only to realized that Atobe had other plan, since the said captain grabbed Fuji's fleeting hand and kissed it, earning loud whistles and catcalls from the other tennis players.
"There's someone reaching back for me…" Fuji continued singing and smirked sexily, then released his hand from Atobe's grasp.
Next, he ran to the next table, which was the Seishun High's,
"Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat…" he tilted Ryoma's hat down playfully, covering the youth face,
"It's gonna take a superman…" and he jumped on Kawamura, the shy boy - acting on instinct – catch the pretty boy in his arms, lifting him bridal style "…to sweep me off my feet!" continued Fuji, while dangling his pretty long feet.
"I need a hero…" he jumped off from Kawamura's hands and resumed his catwalk towards Oishi.
"I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night…" he sang to his vice captain,
"He's gotta be strong…" he punched playfully at Momoshiro's arm, who sat beside Oishi,
"He's gotta be fast…" he poked on his best friend, Kikumaru's left cheek,
"And he's gotta be fresh from the fight!" and he sat on Kaidoh's lap, earning a surprised yelp from his poor underclassman.
"I need a hero…" he stood up, Then he climbed on their table and crawled towards Inui – who was scribbling furiously in his notebook while observing his fellow teammate acting out of his mind - singing "I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light…"
"He's got to be sure…" Fuji picked up Inui's pencil and threw it randomly (not quiet random since it landed strategically in Mizuki's drink). Inui calmly took out a spare from his jacket's pocket and resumed his scribbling.
"and it's gotta be soon…" then Fuji turned away and crawled toward his captain, making sure to wriggled his bottom in a sexy seducing way, and somehow managed to make his way between the glasses on the table effortlessly.
"and he's gotta be larger than life…" he sat at the edge of the table directly in front of his captain and placed his feet on his captain chair at the either side of Tezuka's thighs.
"I need a hero…" he tilted Tezuka's chin upward staring into that brown gaze. His captain face devoid of any expression.
"I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night…" then he slide his ass from the table and ended up on his captain's lap, grinding his hip in accordance to the bass music for a while (a lap dance o.O) and stood up to continue his stalking towards another table – the Rikkaidai's- while moving his body, dancing to the music and teasing the players near him – no matter which school they came from. The dining room had become a lively place with the cheering crowd.
"Up where the mountains…" Fuji hooked his free arm around Sanada's neck, "…meet the heavens above…" and he turned towards Yukimura and gave him a meaningful wink. Then he released his grip from the vice captain's neck and moved to caressed Kirihara's cheek while singing "…out where the lightning splits the sea…"
"I could swear there is someone somewhere…" and he turned his head left and right as if searching for somebody, "…watching me…" and pointed towards Niou, smirking seductively.
"Through the wind and the chill and the rain…" then he continued to stalk towards another table – the Rokakku's.
"And the storm and the flood…" he sang to Kurobane. In the same time Saeki stood up and slipped his hands around Fuji's waist,
"I can feel his approach…" Fuji looked sideways and met with a grinning Saeki. He then put his free hands on top of Saeki's and guided it so it slide upward on his chest, "…like a fire in my blood…"
He then turned around so that he's facing Saeki, sliding his body against his childhood friend like a professional stripper and then stood again and pushed his childhood friend playfully towards the nearest empty chair. Saeki fell on the said chair grinning like a madman, and got several pats at the back by his fellow teammates.
And Fuji continued his catwalk towards the center of the dining area, and resumed his singing with vigor.
"I need a hero…"
"I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night…"
"He's gotta be strong…" and he lifted his hand free hand, imitating a body builder,
"He's gotta be fast…" then he lifted Gakuto's hat from his head and threw it like a Frisbee towards Atsushi whom instinctively catch the said hat.
"And he's gotta be fresh from the fight…" and ran towards St. Rudolph table and ruffled Akazawa's hair.
"I need a hero, I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light…" Fuji pinched Yanagisawa's cheek,
"He's gotta be sure," and he pats Kaneda's shoulder,
"And it's gotta be soon…" conveniently skipping Mizuki, he hugged his younger brother "…and he's gotta be larger than life…" which received him a scowl from the said brother. The older Fuji ignored his younger brother's reaction and kissed his brother's cheek.
Then he ran back to the center of the dining area and resumed his singing.
"I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night,
He's gotta be strong,
And he's gotta be fast,
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight…"
By then, many of the audience had stood up, danced and cheered to Fuji's energetic and powerful performance. Fuji ran back to the stage, so that the dining area would be occupied by the dancing audience and resumed his singing.
"I need a hero,
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the morning light,
He's gotta be sure,
And it's gotta be soon,
And he's gotta be larger than life…"
"I need a hero…
I'm holding out for a hero 'till the end of the night!"
Fuji finished his song and concluded his performance with a dance according to the song beat. He earned a standing ovation as well as generous whistles, and "w00t!!!" from the crowd. Fuji bowed and smiled a 'huge' smile to his supporters. He even waved cheerfully.
"It's amazing what a 0.05 percent of alcohol would do to Fuji. He completely changes into a different person," commented Inui casually, which caught his captain's attention, despite the loud cheering of the crowd.
"There's alcohol in our drinks?" he asked incredulously.
"Of course. It was added into the cocktail to enhance the fruits' taste. It shouldn't gives any effects though since it only acts as a flavour boost and in a very small quantity, especially considering that Fuji only had a sip of his drink," continued Inui. Both Inui and his captain looked towards Fuji's full glass of cocktail. Inui is right, the contents did not decrease from the first it was poured.
"Hmm…" they both said at the same time. Realizing their similar reaction, they both hastily turned to face the other way, unbeknownst to them that they also thought the exact same thing – the endless possibility of Fuji and alcohol.
epilogueEPILOGUEepilogue
The next school day revealed a shoe compartment written with the name of "Fuji Syuusuke", full of love letters, chocolates, flowers and various other gifts - where most of the letters and cards content, more or less having the same punch line - "let me be your hero". Fuji did not comment anything, other than addressing his difficulties of storing his shoes.
After that incident, somebody claimed that they saw Tezuka Kunimitsu reading "Flirting 101" when the said captain thought that nobody's watching. This was supported by Momoshiro Takashi since he claimed of witnessing the said book in his captain's tennis bag.
3 days later, Atobe Keigo, the heir of multibillion assets of Atobe empire and the renowned captain of Hyotei high school boy's tennis team arrived at Seishun High School, riding a white steed, complete with a knight attire – which consisted of armory, a sword and a bouquet of flower for a finishing touch. He unashamedly strode the corridors of Seishun High School, looking like a misplaced cosplayer in search for one Fuji Syuusuke, only to find the said person sitting in one of his history lessons, looking outside the windows. Since Atobe has no sense of shame, he opened the door of Fuji's classroom, and dashingly strode towards the person of his desire - efficiently ignoring the class in progress. Then he knelt down before the object of his desire, offering the bouquet of flower to Fuji, asking "May I have the honor of being your knight in shining armor?" thus, effectively creating mayhem of swooning and squealing females as well as whistles and catcalls from the male students. Needless to say, his plan proved to be counter productive since Fuji's history teacher threw a tantrum and kicked Atobe outside the school premises – together with his white steed.
This madness somehow continued throughout the year, until somebody spotted Fuji Syusuke going out with (insert your favourite character here) in a fancy restaurant in town.
The End
That Alcohol thing? I have no idea if it can enhance the flavour or not and I don't really care coz I just need some alcohol in Fuji's system (and implies that it's his MAJOR weakness - he needs to be human at some point, no?).
Gakuto's Queen Hat – the hat that looks somewhat like the ones the policemen wears. I just thought that Gakuto would look wicked sexy in it. HoHOhohHOh…
If you guys haven't realized it, I tried to match the lyrics with the person related to it. XD
I hope you guys enjoyed it (runs away escaping thrown vegetables and rotten eggs...).
