Day 2: Anonymous: Alex doing karaoke to a cheesy 80's power ballad while Liv just smiles about it.
Universe: Present-day College Roommates

"This is a terrible idea, Alex," Olivia says, looking down at the list of karaoke songs.
Alex shakes her head - oh god, she should not have had those last two shots; is the room really spinning? - and leans heavily against Olivia. "What are you talking about? It's a great idea."
Olivia rolls her eyes. "You're so tone deaf, Al. This is going to end terribly."
"Relax, Olivia," Alex says, sporting the kind of confidence only incredibly drunk people possess. "What's the worst that can happen?"
Olivia sighs, shaking her head. "There are literally so many things that could go wrong," she says, but Alex has already made her way to the stage and is getting situated in front of the microphone. She smiles, laughing quietly to herself, at the completely serious expression on Alex's face.
The lights on the stage dim and the piano intro to the song fades in.

"Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round."
(Turn around)
"Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears"
(Turn around)
"Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by."
(Turn around)
"Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes."
(Turn around, bright eyes)
"Every now and then I fall apart."
(Turn around, bright eyes)
"Every now and then I fall apart/And I need you now tonight/And I need you more than ever/And if you only hold me tight/We'll be holding on forever/And we'll only be making it right/'Cause we'll never be wrong/Together we can take it to the end of the line/Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time."
(All of the time)
"I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark/We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks/I really need you tonight/Forever's gonna start tonight."
(Forever's gonna start tonight)
"Once upon a time I was falling in love/But now I'm only falling apart/There's nothing I can do/A total eclipse of the heart/Once upon a time there was light in my life/But now there's only love in the dark/Nothing I can say/A total eclipse of the heart."
The song slips into its musical interlude and Alex looks up to meet Olivia's eyes. She gives her a lopsided grin before she begins to sing again.

The song ends and Olivia stands, applauding loudly. Alex grins at her, then rushes off stage and stumbles to a stop directly in front of Olivia. She reaches out and bundles the lapels of Olivia's jackets in her fists. Pulling her close, she kisses Olivia as hard as she can.
"What was that for?" Olivia asks after Alex pulls back.
"I proved you wrong," Alex says. "Nothing bad came from singing."
