Something so magic about you [Aguni oneshots]

Lay all your love on me

In which Aguni meets the woman of his dreams in a karaoke bar on a Thursday night.

*＊✿❀○❀✿＊*

Takeru had dragged him to the bar.

'Come on, come on. Just a couple of drinks, it will be fun!'

He had refused, as first, but eventually conceded. Just as his friend knew he would.

The only thing was that on Thursday night, only four types of people went out: the rich and famous, university students, groups of young girls who thought for real that Thursday was the new Friday and the older men wanting to flirt with them.

Where did that leave them?

Aguni sighed, with a beer already in his hand, while Takeru went through the book listing the songs one could choose to sing in the karaoke.

'This one!' He exclaimed, triunphant, his index finger pointing to an ABBA song.

Aguni couldn't help but smile faintly, nodding. The bar would be empty by the time they had finished. They were that good. 'Sure.'

He looked around him while his friend wrote down both of their names and the song title in a piece of paper and gave it to the person in charge of playing the songs of the karaoke.

Just as he had thought, there was almost nobody - just a group of bussinessmen who were staring, like a starving wild animal, at a table of young girls, sitting close to where the stage was. Four of them. The one further right had short hair and an athletic figure, another had dreadlocks and a blue crop top and the third one looked like she had just left work, a briefcase on the floor by her side. He couldn't see the fourth girl very well, only the back of the white blouse she was wearing and her long dark hair.

'Oh! The next one is going to be great!' Takeru said, clapping his hands together excitedly. Whoever was next would sing Believe, by Cher.

And it was the girl with the long hair and white blouse, who stood up and walked to the stage, her friends cheering her up all the way. Apart from the top, she was wearing flared jeans and brown high-heeled boots.

Aguni couldn't help but think she was beautiful, her eyes big, dark and slanted. Her lips full, a shy smile present in them, while she tried the microphone to check that it worked and adjusted it to her height.

'No matter how hard I try, you keep pushing me aside...' She started, not moving much at first, seemingly nervous, but by the time she sang the chorus, she was jumping and dancing, having gained confidence while she sang. 'Do you believe in life after love!? I can feel something inside me say, I really don't think you're strong enough, no!'

'Yeah, fuck him!' Her friend with the dreadlocks said, loud enough anyone could hear.

'She's quite good.' Takeru nodded towards her, looking impressed. Aguni agreed.

She was not the best singer, but she knew how to pull the audience in. The bussinessmen were in a frenzy by that time.

She finished her song, and Takeru joined her friends when they started clapping and cheering. Aguni did as well.

She noticed, and flashed a bright, charming smile towards them, mouthing 'Thank you.' before pretending to bow.

'It's our turn! Go, go, go!' Takeru was already standing up.

Both of them grabbed their microphones, making an awful rendition of Lay All Your Love On Me. It may have sounded bad, but both of them gave it their all, singing with a lot more feeling than a cheap karaoke bar on a Thursday night deserved.
