*Day before the Lantern Festival*

(Numazu Lantern Festival Concert Stage)

(Leon POV)

"Wait why are we here again," I asked confused expression "Remember we are doing warm-up but...I did not a huge crowd to be formed as I sweatdrop "Incase things go bad we need a distraction" I muttered "Right" Conner said both adjusted our guitars then handshake as usual...

"WAHOOO!" I yelled as Conner grins both looked over saw everyone cheering "Editor and the Manager of Aqours are gonna do practice warm-up song!" Fan A yelled, "Let's goo!" Fan B yelled as I gasped saw You there watching us gasped as I grin lift my hand up into the air...

[Mercy Mercades - All We've Ever Known]

[Verse 1 - Leon]
Let's sneak away to the beach house
Sand beneath our feet now
No one has ever gotta know
We'll blow our money like we're in Rio
We'll stay awake 'til the sunrise
Songs about the summertime
Kiss the moon over the sea
Live in the moment, love, in times like these

[Pre-Chorus - Conner]
We're screaming "Hey, hey, hey"
I wanna get carried away, ay, ay
You know we'll wake up tomorrow
Stop talking 'bout yesterday, yesterday

[Chorus - Both]
Three cheers for the good vibrations
Journey blowing up the FM station
Señoritas wanna go all night
I think it's time we lost control
It's all we've ever known

Conner and I looked off to the crowd noticed someone watching us "Looks like it's someone we have never seen before" Connor said confused expression "Focus Conner we got to finish this and your up" I said "Right Leo!" Conner yelled as I gather crowd attention...

[Verse 2 - Conner]
A sailor stumbles with his new bride
Buzzing like a housefly
He tells us stories of his life
We laugh out loud until it makes us cry
Petty playing in the background
Singing "I won't back down"
You know he never lost his touch
Man that night, it was such a rush

[Pre-Chorus - Leon]
We're screaming "Hey, hey, hey"
I wanna get carried away, ay, ay
You know we'll wake up tomorrow
Stop talking 'bout yesterday, yesterday

[Chorus - Both]
Three cheers for the good vibrations
Journey blowing up the FM station
Señoritas wanna go all night
I think it's time we lost control

I looked at everyone sweating a little same was Conner (My hands are cramping up...better end this quick) I thought sweatdrop as Conner seem to notice but I kept playing...

[Bridge - Leon]
Back home it rains all day
We had to get away
'Cause I know sometimes we need a little change of pace
Yeah you know sometimes that life gets in the way

[Chorus - Both]
Three cheers for the good vibrations
Journey blowing up the FM station
Señoritas wanna go all night
I think it's time we lost control
It's all we've ever known
Three cheers for the good vibrations
Journey blowing up the FM station
Señoritas wanna go all night
I think it's time we lost control
([Connor] - It's all we've ever known)
Three cheers for the good vibrations
Mercy blowing up the FM station
Señoritas wanna go all night
I think it's time we lost control
It's all we've ever known...

(Aftermath)

"...Agghh my fingers," I said sighed noticed You rushing over "H-Hey are you okay Leon-kun!?" You yelled "Ahaha...my fingers are a bit cramp," I said nervously chuckled "Here," You said gently overlapped them with her hand...

"Hey, here you go, buddy!" Conner yelled giving me an icepack "Aha thanks Conner," I said as You gently pressed the pack over my hands "You sure outdone yourself this time Leon-kun" You said giggled "Ahaa...I thought you were practicing with Chika and others?" I asked tiredly chuckled "Hey I got done early plus Chika-chan and others practicing real hard," You said smiled "I'm kinda feeling bad for making you fall behind Chika-chan and others," I said concerned "N-No I have time for practice besides I wanna support you!" You yelled cheerfully smiled "Yousoro..." I said chuckled "Yousoro!" You yelled saluted with me both laughed as Conner checking the weather "Leon can you get back to Takami Inn?" Conner asked "Weather suppose to be real bad tonight/tomorrow," Conner said concerned "You can stay with me for a bit Leon-kun," You said, "What about you Conner?" I asked, "Nah I gotta get Hanamaru and Ruby they are nearby!" Conner yelled jogged off as I sighed walked with You helping me...

(Watanabe Residence - You's Room)

"..." I said feeling a bit better than usual stretched as I adjusted my gloves again tightly "Chika-chan called and I let her know you alright," You said smiled stared at me "Heh thanks You for taking me for the night," I said sighed (...I hope whatever weather is able to not make any people trying to do crime) I thought concerned expression (AAAGHHH SO EMBARRASSING! HOW DOES CHIKA-CHAN HANDLE THIS?!) You thought to herself panicking...

"...Hey Leon," You said, "Hm yes You-?!" I asked shocked but stunned "Haha...got your attention..." You said stared at me slowly formed smile pointing finger at me...

"Uhhh," I said nervously chuckled (J-Jeez...why I'm always in this situation?!) I thought panic (...Chika-chan was worse but now You!?) I thought shocked stared at You "You know how to make someone upset Leon-kun" You said "...?" I asked confused expression "Ah come on You don't be like that," I said nervously "...I do care about you just sometimes time won't let us be together except for now" I said holding her hand "L-Leon?" You asked shocked "...I may not be perfect to be there for you You-chan...but I promise I will find the time to be there with you" I said smiled staring right at her deep blue eyes "...You better promise me..." You said blushed "You bet on it You-chan," I said slowly smiled held her hands...

*Timepass*

(You Perspective)

"..." I said stared at Leon asleep tightly held my hand... "T-These...feelings won't go away...but I promise to keep supporting Chika...however she's taking forever..." I muttered felt tears streaming down my face... (No matter how hard I try...I think giving these feelings up is for the best...no wonder Kanan was acting strange too) I thought concerned "...Riko-chan..." Leon said dozing off "..." I didn't say anything (...Riko-chan that's right...Leon and Riko are always together when we were younger...) I thought quietly stared at Leon sleeping peacefully "Hey...Leo...I know..." I muttered eyes closed...

(...I know my best friend is Starlight Legion...he works in a band, part-time job, and risks his life every day as Starlight Legion...and plus always tired but never once he would ever...yell or be mad with us) I explained thinking through everything (...I still remember...) I thought sweatdrop looking back at the time...

*Middle School (7th Grade) - 3 months After Leon's Parents funeral*

Leon was depressed after losing his parents...and was still recovering from it a month ago... but "Yo Leon!" Vincent yelled, "Not today Vincent..." Leon said quietly Chika and I was walking by gasped with Kanan...

"Hey L-GAH?!" Vincent flinched got slammed into the locker Leon glared and what we saw broken and loneliness in his eyes... "I-I'm sorry...alright...now you know about my mom died and police didn't care," Vincent said as Leon was quiet stared down "...I'm so sorry alright..." Vincent said concerned as Leon let him go...went to grab his stuff and quickly walk away "Leo-kun!" Riko yelled as he gasped while Riko hugging him...

"...I gotta go..." Leon said quietly as Riko let him go...

"...Leon-kun stop it!" I yelled running hugging him tightly from behind from trying to break his locker... "Y-You-chan..." Leon asked shocked fell to his knees "A-Ah..." Leon said collapsed turned around resting on the wall "...Shhh..." I said rushed up pulled him closed "..." Leon stared down at me "...I'm al-NO YOUR NOTT!" I yelled shaking my head tightly gripping on him closely "...Quit...trying to push all of us away...it won't work on me..." I said not letting him go... "Y-You...chan," Leon said stunned as silence engulfed us both...

...Month Later...

"A-Ah?!" I yelled flinched stared at the armed murder "Walliton Parks..." I muttered backing up "Watcha doing here sweetie pie?" Wallington grins "Just heading home..." I said stared at him as Starlight Legion arrive punch Wallington into the wall send flying into the wall groaned in pain as I flinched stared at thugs firing at me as I running away "They have stormtrooper aim!" I yelled flinched "You..." Starlight said dashed through the thugs pick me up "W-Wha!?" I yelled flinched had my arms over his neck "...Hey Yo-ma'am are gonna be just fine" Starlight Legion said (...L-Leon?...no way...) I thought stared at him slowly smiled eyes closed "...Thank you..." I said opened my eyes as Legion stared then return with a smile of his own...

(Reality)

"...In the end I will keep supporting Chika...and hopefully she will tell him...cause if not...I will...take him for myself..." I muttered (I'm so sorry Chika...but at this rate...I can't keep playing both sides...) I thought quietly...

To Be Continued...

(A/N - For this chapter about Leon and You... I decided to make it a bit more dramatic since usually, middle school is where were we learn about ourselves, and before Vincent was always bully and working with Sebastian till Vicent saw how broken they did to Leon and heard about Leon's parents he changed to be a better person currently living in UTX...

You always been the support role like how she was in the anime so I had to think about making it for You to be supportive of Leon's actions and to understand his pain...

Edit - If I wasn't Riko, Chika, and Kanan fan of the Aqours I would definitely give the edge for You and Leon but that will be figured out in the next bit)
