there's sena's voice, rich and breathtaking in that way it was back in that host club, right in his ears. leo's mouth dries up and he snaps it shut, grinning widely and glad sena's not here. such an instant reaction's sort of lame. it's kind of stupid. it's "desperate", as sena'd put it, all too happy to be given a scrap of attention.
... he should probably check that before he wrecks himself, but it's fine. it's fine.

your voice doesn't fit it at all~ honestly, it's kind of an earsore in that respect! but that's on me, not you let's see, i think a ballad might fit you more..? sing 「notes falling at the speed of the cherry blossoms」
[it's a longass japanese title i'm not translating it]
like i said, that's my fault, not yours ~ my style of music just isn't fit for a pretty voice like yours the thing you sang in december was perfect though like it was made for you and only you capturing that in a person is hard, so i guess that other leo you knew must've had some talent after all

finally you've accepted the truth too bad i can never find his sheet music again though
[ should he tell leo? that he's overwritten what the other leo had done? no, it's his birthday after all. wouldn't want to put a damper on his chipper mood. and speaking on his birthday, leo doesn't seem to know that it's the sole reason why sena tried singing his songs in the first place... that idiot. but he's not going to confirm nor deny this as he begins recording his ballad -
only to finish it a couple of hours later. look, recording shit all by yourself is a lot of hard work, okay? not to mention his perfectionist ass. so he'll send another mp3 file, here goes nothing. ]

this had been one of his favorites to write. a departure from the usual, during a pleasant time, a smile fluttering to his lips as he mouths along with the pretty voice covering his words. it really does fit sena's range more. the sort of thing he was meant to sing, instead of the harshness that punk could offer. the bitter taste of this and that.
no, something bittersweet might fit him even more, that's why this...]
you've really got talent, mitzy it sounds even better than i imagined..♪
[and there's a warmth in his chest at that fact too, but he knows that this is probably a one time thing. he doesn't have enough songs like this one for sena's tastes. they're far and few, but dear all the same. maybe he's still under consideration, but for how long..?]
[ he shouldn't feel warm from those texts but he is and he's... weirdly happy about it? but then he narrows his eyes at the short thanks. what the hell, all that work for little praise? he's worked so hard on them!!! ]

well thanks for holding back on my account, i guess
