pov: bo sees you playing the piano for the first time (gn!reader + fluff)
a/n: i play piano and i just wanted a fic for myself lol (NOT PROOF READ / EDITED)
you tiptoed down the steps, making sure not to wake anyone up. it was in the middle of the night, and you were struggling to sleep. you had a habit of doing something to tire you out whenever this happened, and tonight you felt like playing the piano.
since you’ve been here, no one had heard you play. you admit, you have played in longer than you would like, but why not play now?
you opened the dusty piano lid and all your memories of how to play flooded back. you smiled to yourself and began playing ‘swan lake - tchaikovsky’ as softly as possible. as you played, you no longer felt tired. you forgot about even needing sleep, or the world. your mind was revolved around playing this piece, and to just enjoy yourself.
meanwhile, bo did feel you leave the bed initially, but he assumed you were going to the bathroom. after a while passed, he began getting fidgety, wondering where you were. that question was answered when he heard a piano downstairs. he was half-asleep, so he wasn’t entirely sure if he was dreaming or not, but he was up now and he figured it would be worth checking out.
he walked quietly down the stairs and found you, playing the piano elegantly. when bo saw this, he just froze. he stared at you starry-eyed with pure admiration, like how a child stares.
he thought this sight of you was so attractive, he literally held his breath. when you finished playing, he spoke up, in a small voice.
“that was beautiful.”
when you heard him, you jumped a little. you turned around slowly and saw bo walking towards you with a grin on his face. your cheeks burned, you felt embarrassed. “how long have you been standing there?”
“long enough.” he stood over you and went down onto his knees. he rubbed your thighs affectionately and kissed them lightly. “you should play more. i love hearing the piano.”
your fingers ran through his hair as he continued caressing your legs. “really?”
he nodded and looked up into your eyes with a look of admiration. “i’d do anything to hear you play again.” he got up and kissed your forehead, sitting down on the seat next to you.
he grabbed a very old book of sheet music that was on the piano and flipped to a page. he pointed to a song and turned to you, grabbing your attention.
“teach me.”
and for the rest of the night, neither of you slept. and from here on now, the house was always filled with beautiful music, from either one of you two playing solo, or the two of you duetting together.
hi tumblr, i made a post about the piano songs that i know, and i decided to post blackboxwarrior. i messed up a bit, excuse that, and some parts i can’t play very well, or can’t add the left/right hand part, etc., excuse that too. also, i pick my nails a lot, so my hands do not look good, but i needed them in frame for proof it’s me so idk. also i use a yamaha psr 280, so it’s not great
