All of the sudden touches, the sudden change of emotion within her was all too much for Cynthia's heart to contain. Was he ever really this cute before? His firm grip, the seriousness in his voice and his confident words were all too much for the champion's heart. Her face was fully reddened as she quickly turned away, thankful that Leon was looking the other way now. She'd quietly follow behind Leon, still clueless as how a simple interaction like could sway her heart so easily. Perhaps it was because they had never had a touch interaction before, only sticking to conversation. His grips on her shoulders felt too... Comfortable.

Cynthia didn't mind the turns that Leon took, all the wrong rooms, the dead ends and the confusion they faced. It was all truly entertaining for her. However, all of this came to an end as they reached their final destination; Room 7. She wondered how on earth they reached Room 21 when they were room 7, the magic of Leon she classified as. As she began to sit down, the microphone was given to her by Leon. The tone in his voice made her realise instantly that this was going to be a little tease from him. She'd give a little smirk, grabbing onto the microphone before selecting a song on the jukebox.

```Now playing: Romeo & Cinderella - Hanatan.```

As she sang, her voice didn't shudder a single second, carefully caressing the song until its end. Although the notes weren't perfect, she was confident, confident to reach the notes where she could. She held a calm posture, her eyes sometimes peering over to Leon as she sang, wondering what he was doing. Whether he was watching or not, most of her focus was on the song until the end.

It seemed like that Cynthia took the bait! He sat down on a sofa to the side, crossing his arms and his legs as he watched the blonde get to the front and select her music. 

**. . . . .**

The song sounded deep already. He felt pulled in, and it stirred him already from the chords that play in the beginning. It seemed like a serious story playing in the song. As Cynthia sang, she... Wasn't that bad, nor was she angelic—She's just a plain Jane at singing. Yet, her trying her best and maybe having a good time is what the Galar champ admired. He liked to see people doing the things they enjoyed. Throughout the song, he relaxes more, sitting forward as he continued listening. In the end, when it was finished, he couldn't help but applaud for her. "Woo!" He comments and fist pumps the air. "That was great! Good job."

Leon stays sitting down, however, still reluctant to sing for himself. "You seem like you were having fun. You can always sing a few more songs if you would like." It's just another try for him to excuse himself... *For one hour!* Maybe he should order some snacks in the meantime to extend that time—he would be too busy eating!

The intensity from the song had already drained much of her energy, her voice needing the most rest out of all of them. A simple recharge whilst Leon sang the next song would be a perfect method to grab her voice back. She didn't expect it to be such an intense song, the constant high paced rhythm controlling how fast she had to go to stay in tune, it was terribly difficult! It was a miracle she stayed in tune most of the time, sometimes falling a little short which meant she had to pump even more effort into her singing! Little droplets of sweat began to form on Cynthia's forehead, some already dropping down to her cheeks. This was possibly from the singing or... Cynthia's terrible choice of outfit.

Once she was finished, she'd hand the microphone quickly over towards Leon, instantly apprehending any methods of him worming out of this. "I think... I need a little... Break for my voice." She'd purposely make her voice sound coarser than before, a complete contrast from her smooth voice. This was a forced method to make Leon sing, and let her see how good or bad Leon's singing was.

"I could order all the snacks here if you'd Leo~ I don't mind spending it since you did buy lunch for the both of us." She'd slowly sit down to him, flipping the snack book pages.

When the mic was placed in his hand, Leon was starting to sweat too. To think, he was once hyped to sing in front of others. ~~Damn, singing in the showers are a LIE.~~ Now he's crazily against it. His eyes were opened thanks to his honestly *Good* Friends. "If you want a break, let's have a break then." He was going to sit this out, not knowing that Cynthia is well aware of his excuses. "I'll look at the menu with you—" But then this damn nagging *Pride* Of his starts tugging at his *Conscience* To go! *"If I don't sing, then what am I... A quitter?"* 

He was starting to few pathetic, wallowing away because of past experience. Where's the Leon everyone knows? The confident one that never backs down on anything! Even if it's a risk for his own self, he must be a good sport. He's the face of Galar! Heaving a deep sigh, Leon finally gets up, clutching the mic in his hand, hard enough his knuckles go white. He gulps and his heart race. ~~It seems like he really got traumatized from back then.~~

"You... Don't laugh," He says and starts selecting something. A song he can sing with the strength of his voice—not too high, something that his voice could easily meld to. *"Here we go!"* He thought and dramatically turned around while throwing off his cape. He starts singing.



Surprisingly his voice didn't crack. But like Cynthia, he's a plain joe at it nonetheless. He seemed a bit angry (or was he so into it?) that his breathing wasn't right at some parts. In the end, he was able to bear through it anyway. His voice definitely strong at the parts when needed... Only to be stuck choking over his breathing from how hard he sang out. When the song ended, Leon is hyperventilating, sweat rolling from his forehead from how intense it was. It takes a moment for him... Before embarrassment took its toll.

Whilst Leon was busy singing his shower tunes out of his vocals, Cynthia was busy rolling through the menu with all the snacks. There was just so many! Enough to rival the cafe that they were previously at. Although it seemed most of Cynthia's attention was stolen by the mountainous amounts of food items, it was a feint move. Her attention was poured onto Leon's singing and how well he was doing. Well, it was a longshot to say he was doing well, but he was trying his best and keeping up well and that's all that mattered. Unlike some people ~~Caitlin~~ who blew out her eardrums the time she went to karaoke, Leon was doing quite well! 

The song of his choice was something to be expected of Leon. It was quite spectacular, seeing Leon try to hit all of the notes, even when the times when the song hit the points where she couldn't make out if they were saying words or just screaming into the microphone. Whatever, it was, her Leo was doing so well! She expected Leon to falter at the higher points of the notes, a voice crack would've been the best to hear as Cynthia knew she wouldn't be able to hold her laughter if he did so.

Cynthia didn't laugh, she only hid a little chuckle behind her scarf as Leon was pouring almost everything out into his single song. Perhaps this was a song he practiced a long time, or it was because this wasn't his first time at the karaoke bar. His singing was nothing to applaud at in front of musical judges, but in front of Cynthia, he was quite fantastic.

As Leon's song reached its final ending, Cynthia would give an applause, applauding his efforts of singing. "That was... Quite something Leo!" No voice cracks, a continuous string of lyrics and the voice kicking strongly whenever it called for it. There were moments which made Cynthia chuckle a fair bit, his chokings which plagued the song a little but it was all good in her ears. Once Leon was done, Cynthia held out a few tissues for him, for him to wipe his sweat away. "Well done Leo!"

Leon expected a snarky response, but he was ready for it! He sung, and that's what matters! Instead though... He was faced with encouragement. Here they are, enclosed in a room together, where the Sinnoh champion could pull out all her snark and no one will see her for who she is. Yet, the female have chosen to take care of him. It makes him smile within his heavy breathing. "Thanks, thanks! Save the applause!" He says cockily, letting it get to his head. He accepts the tissue when Cynthia handed him some before plopping down on the seat next to her.

"Well, I'm glad you said that, Cyn, but I already know I'm not so good." The fact still stung him, and he sighs through his nose. "Luckily, a good friend of mine said I don't have to be great at everything. If I have one thing, it's enough." And he flashes her his usual confident smile, genuine. Who knew small encouragement could change his mood? "Battling with my Pokémon against tough trainers... That's what I'm great at!" After that proclamation, he peeks over Cynthia's shoulder to look at the menu with her. "You're still hungry? Wow." Women these days have bigger stomachs than men. They're something to be admired for! "Here, it's your turn." Leon drops the mic in the Sinnoh champ's lap. This time, it's *Him* Who's throat is slightly sore from the ~~screaming~~ singing he did. It's respite time.
