A Karaoke Crush AU

Héloïse scrunched her nose and knitter eyebrows together confused, “karaoke is when bars scroll lyrics over an impossibly small screen and people who have had entirely too much to drink screech the chorus of ABBA or Shania Twain at the top of their lungs; is it not?” Sophie laughs loudly and responds “usually yes, but this is like karaoke on steroids!” She abandons her fork once more, using both hands to draw visuals in the air as she describes a grungy, mostly towny bar not far from campus that has an acoustic karaoke show one night a week. “Most performers play their own accompaniment, but there’s also a woman there who kind of runs it that will back you up on guitar. She’s gor-geous and I swear half the people that perform do it just to sit on stage next to her.” Héloïse files this information away as a point in favor of karaoke night. Or the one where Heloise and Sophie are exchange students doing a semester in America, Marianne is a TA who loves music, and they rock each other's worlds.
